Ble. I guess I'm slowly losing the ability to write. God damnit. I've also become to attached to this story. So I'm just gonna continue this one instead of rewriting it.

HOWEVER.

I've been drawing stuff for this left and right. Some of it has even been uploaded to my Deviantart. Painted-Panda is my username if you want to check anything out over there. TT_TT Also, does anyone know any GOOD Naruto characters in the real world fics? I mean like ones that make logical sense. So no girl living in mansion, no 'random' crazy girl, no girl who lives on her own at a young age. Shelby, legally, lives with her mom- but her mom is never home. This story itself is kind of illogical, because who would keep so many dogs in a little house besides a hoarder? I've been wanting to read some lately, but all I can find are unrealistic ones..

So this note over, lets begin!


Shelby clenched her hands into fists, glaring daggers at the little bastard. Below her, Deidara tensed by her legs, recognizing the 12 year old boy. "Hey! What're you doin out of your house? You never come out!" The boy whined out. God, she hated this kid. "Well Jamie, what I do is nothing of your concern." Shelby replied, purposely calling him by a feminine name. "Hey! My name's James NOT JAMIE!" James shouted, cheeks red. His friends didn't bother hiding their smiles and laughs. "And how would you know if I ever left my house or not? Are you stalkin' me now?" 'His stupid brother probably has him watchin' me..'

The young blond gripped his iPhone in his hand,"Why would ah wanna watch you? You're weird! Never comin' out yer house! 'N who talks to their dogs like they're people?!" "So you were watching my house." Shelby snarked. "No!" James tried denying.

James quickly tried reverting to the old sexism talk. Much like his father..and his brother. "Yer a girl anyway, what would you know? You should've been married to mah brother already!" The kid started yammering about how she needed to stay in the kitchen, and tried pressuring her (and failing) to go back to his brother. Shelby ignored him, her face blank as she thought of what to cook later. Maybe some boar meat spaghetti? Boar meatloaf? She had to use the ground boar meat in the refrigerator soon, or else it would go bad. "Y'know, if you told him you were sorry, he'd maybe take you back." Shelby leaned forward, a scowl set. "Now why would I want to go back to him? Sorry to burst your bubble Jamie-baby, but.." She changed her tone, setting it soft, as if she was speaking to a small child. "I broke up with your cheating brother. Maybe if he could keep it in his pants, he'd still have me."

Her hand stroked Deidara, who was behind her legs. He didn't want any of the brats grabbing him. One of the kids reached out to Kisame, who snapped at the kid. He smelled nasty. "Hey! Stop bothering my dogs!" Shelby growled, her upper lip curling. The kid looked at her nervously. Shelby wondered what stories that idiot Dean told them, most likely lies if he claimed he broke up with her.

James looked like a puffer fish. He had his cheeks puffed up in anger. "You're lying! Dean broke up with you because you were to promuscis!" "You mean promiscuous. And if anyone is the whore, it's Dean. After all, he did get two girls pregnant, right? And wasn't one of those girls in your class? How's your parents dealing with that anyway?" She retorted. Shelby continued as James had a look of utter confusion, the poor soul. "In fact, just a few days ago, your precious, perfect brother came crawling to me at my doorstep." He looked lost for words. "To top it all off, he seemed so guilty and sorry for what he'd done, that he even gave me this precious baby." She reached down picked up Deidara, holding him close.

"Now, don't you think it'd be a shame if Dean magically got reported for animal cruelty?" She stroked the shivering pup, a calculating look in her eye. "I actually have proof now, it wouldn't be that hard to just..oh, I don't know.. go up to the station.." Kisame leaned against her leg, his tongue out his mouth. He looked up, giving that doggy grin that only bully breeds seemed to give. "He'd most likely get a few years in prison.. I can imagine with his pretty, pretty looks that he'd make those inmates real happy."

The girl drug her gaze to the boys. "Now, if that's all, go away Jamie." "..I-I'm not a girl.." He mumbled, not really protesting. Another boy spoke up, his eyes barley poking out from under his beanie. "You can't make us leave. This is public property." The others brightened up at this, smug looks entering some of their faces. Shelby sniffed at the air. "Well, true I can't.. but I do know all your parents.." Those boys looked very confused. "And ya'll smell awfully like weed.." A panicked look soon spread.

Shelby smiled. Sometimes living in a small town counted.
