Chapter 11: the next Morning

The next morning Iaf got up early and picked up her school uniform, it was a light blue t-shirt and a dark blue and black skirt.

Once she was dressed she put her hair up in its usual ponytail then walked downstairs for breakfast.

Shadow had use a whole loft of bread for toast 'she overdid it again' Iaf thought as she took a few pieces off the top.

Iaf stood as someone knocked on the door "I got it Shadow!" she called out as she walked to the front door, she opened it to Kiba "hey, please say you're hungry" Iaf asked as she let Kiba and Akamaru in, he gave her a confused look as he slowly nodded.

"Great, well you can have some toast, I've got lots to spare" she told him, "well I guess we can stay for a little while, we're a bit early so the others won't be there yet" Kiba said following Iaf to the dining room, he froze when he saw the mini mountain of toast causing Akamaru to bump into the back of his legs "you weren't kidding when you said you had lots to spare" he said as they sat down.

"Well I know how much Iaf-sama loves her toast but I got a bit carried away" Shadow explained as she entered the room, Akamaru walked up to her, he circled around her sniffing "Kiba, Akamaru, this it my friend Shadow, she came with me from England and is now living with me, Shadow, this is one of my new friends from school Kiba-" Akamaru sat in front of Shadow and barked "and this is Kiba's dog Akamaru" Iaf continued giggling, Iaf and Kiba grabbed some toast as Shadow gave Akamaru some water and toast before exiting the room.

After a few minutes Shadow came back in "Iaf-sama, its 8:45a-"

"Crap! We're late!" Kiba shouted getting uo, he shoveled the rest of his half eaten toast in his mouth.

"What?!" Iaf jumped up and raced upstairs to grab her school bag, when she came back down she said good bye to Shadow and raced out the door with Kiba and Akamaru hot on her heels.

"The others would have left five minutes ago" Kiba called out when he caught up.

"So…if we keep running, we'll catch up?" Iaf asked looking back, Kiba nodded "I think so, yer"

Iaf and Kiba ran down the street, once they got to the crossroad they stopped for a few seconds "they're not…here, damn" Kiba panted, Iaf grabbed a bottle of water out of her bag and handed it to Kiba "thanks" he said and took it, when he handed it back, Iaf put it in her bag "ready to go?" she asked, Kiba nodded and they took off down the path towards the school.

About a block away from the crossroad Iaf and Kiba spotted a familiar blonde head in the distance with two others "look there they are" Iaf called out, looking back at Kiba she noticed something missing "where's Akamaru?"

"He only comes to the crossroad then he turns and heads home until the end of school" Kiba replied, Iaf nodded "they're a bit to far, how do we get them to stop?" she asked, Kiba grinned "I'll yell, out of all of us, my voice is loudest" he told her, they stopped "here goes…Naruto!!" he shouted, Iaf covered her ears because of her sensitive ears his shouting is much louder then it sounds.

Naruto stopped before shaking his head and continuing on, Kiba looked shocked "that idiot…NARUTO!" he tried again but ending up with the same results "damn I'm not loud enough" Kiba growled cursing.

Iaf thought for a moment "allow me to try" she cleared her throat "NARUTO YOU BAKA, BEHIND YOU! OI TENTEN! HINATA!!" she yelled as loud as she could, Kiba covered his ears.

Naruto, Hinata and Tenten turned around and Iaf waved before going into a coughing fit "Iaf?!" Kiba exclaimed, bending down to help her.

"I'm okay" she said smiling weakly, the others ran up to them "Iaf-san, are you ok?!" they asked, Iaf nodded still smiling as she stood up "sorry we're late guys, I distracted Kiba with a mountain load of toast" she said, they gave her confused looks before shrugging "I'm glad you came now otherwise you would have been really late" Tenten said "we don't want that now do we" Iaf said before laughing.

"Come on guys, let's go!" Naruto cheered and they started off towards school.
