Chp.3: Kakashi's army

Kakashi was fuming with rage, as he watched Kurenai walk off with his precious book.

"KURENAI!!!" he shouted so that everyone at the party turned to stare at him, and then they saw the book in Kurenai's hands, and ignored the drama. Nothing new.

"THIS IS WAR NOW!!! HOW DARE YOU KIDNAP MY POOR DEFENSELESS BOOK?!"

Kurenai rolled her eyes and kept on walking. Kakashi then ripped his head away from her to look at Shikamaru and Kiba.

"Kiba, Shikamaru, come here NOW!" Kakashi yelled at the two students who were talking about how boring training was. Shikamaru sighed, and they both wordlessly and lazily walked over to Kakashi.

"Kiba, Shikamaru," Kakashi said and nodded at each of them in turn.

"You two must join me in the quest to save my book; you must join MY army!!! We must thwart her evil plans, and take back what is mine! EVIL MUST NOT BE ALOWED TO ENDURE!!!!"

Kakashi then posed in a heroic like fashion with a gleam in his eye at the end of his speech.

"No." Shikamaru said.

"Nuh-uh" Kiba replied

"B-B-But you HAVE to help me! This is injustice! And my poor book. . ." Kakashi trailed off at the thought of his pride and joy being held hostage. He looked like a sad puppy that had been told by its owner to let the family cat chew on his tail.

"Um, No." Shikamaru repeated and walked off, with Kiba following him.

"WAIT!" Kakashi yelled back at them, desperately "If you help me, I'll give you each 20 dollars!!!"

That got their attention

"So what's the plan?" Shikamaru smiled greedily

"I'm in!" Kiba replied enthusiastically to Kakashi's offer.

"Good." Kakashi said with a huge smile. "Here" he then tossed both Shikamaru and Kiba Elite ninja outfits. (Yes, he had them made for this and brought them along. Kakashi is always prepared!)

"Put those on, and then we'll go."

Kiba and Shikamaru went to change, and quickly came back.

"Alright." Kakashi said, in a battle instructor type voice, "lets move out!!!"

The three of them then headed out for Kurenai's house.

"Kakashi" Kiba said, "You're leaving your own party, won't anybody notice?"

"Nope." Kakashi replied. "People are used to this sort of thing by now."

"Oh yea, that's right." Kiba said, and shrugged it off.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Ino walked onto the beach 'alone' and joined in the party. As she walked up to a table, she saw Kakashi, Kiba, and Shikamaru, in full ninja gear, heading off in the direction of Kurenai's house. She rolled her eyes, and then hid under the table, scanning the guest like a hawk. She quickly spotted her victim, Sasuke.

Sasuke was sitting in a chair, not speaking to anyone, not talking to anyone, and not doing anything. Just sitting a staring off into space with a bored look on his face. Ino mentally drooled all over the center of her universe. She then, after snapping out of he dazed state, took out a portable radio and whispered into the mouthpiece.

"Sasuke-kun is by the shore, team one you know what to do." Ino said

"Right, we're going." The club member with the other radio replied.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Naruto, who had been trying to decided what type of ramen he should make, (Decisions, decisions) looked up from his cooler to see Kakashi's grill.

"Hey!" Naruto exclaimed, an idea popping into his head, "I'm going to cook B.B.Q. everyone, so save your appetites!" He then picked up his cooler, and walked over to grill.

Garaa, who had heard Naruto, turned to see the fox boy trying to figure out how to grill his ramen.

"Naruto you idiot! You can't GRILL ramen!!!"

"You can't? Oh . . ." Naruto said, looking a little disappointed.

"Oh well, I'm going to cook shish-ka-bob then!" He said, smiling widely. Garaa scoffed, and went back to death staring Neji. (Both Neji and Garaa have been death staring each other since they arrived!)

Naruto quickly got all the ingredients for his shish-ka-bob, and began to cook it while humming. Meanwhile, Sakura and Hinata were still talking.

"I'm sure you can get Naruto to like you Hinata!" Sakura said with a smile. You just have to speak up more!"

"I don't know Sakura, I don't think I'm going to tell him. Not yet anyways."

"Suit yourself" Sakura replied back and turned to look at the whole party. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Iruka and Gai were talking, Naruto was cooking shish-ka-bob, with some difficulty, Shino and Temari were eating, Garaa and Neji were still death staring each other, Rock Lee looked as if he was deciding to go into the water or not (It was starting to get hot), Kiba, Shikamaru, Kurenai, and Kakashi seemed to be missing,

*Oh well. Knowing Kakashi they've probably gone off to go do some strange and crazy thing. *

She then turned to look at the last guest at the party, her beloved Sasuke.

"WHA?!" Sakura screeched out, as she noticed two girls walking up to an oblivious Sasuke.

"Hinata, who are those girls?"

Hinata turned to look and replied

"I have no idea, do you think they're from ninja school?"

Sakura stared at the two, bearing holes into their skulls, making sure they didn't try to steal the heart of her beloved.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

The two members of the Sasuke fan club giggled as they walked over to Sasuke.

"Hi Sasuke-kun!" One of the members spoke up.

Sasuke turned his head to face them and said

"Go away"

He then started to turn to face to ocean again, but was suddenly yanked from his chair.

"WHA-?!" Sasuke yelled out, but was quickly tied and gagged by two more fan girls. Ino, seeing her crazed plan in action, leaped out from under the table to go help her fellow members.

Sakura, who had also witnessed this, suddenly got infuriated.

*Inner Sakura: WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO SASUKE!?!? LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! WHA- INO-PIG?!?! WHAT'S GOING ON?!*

Sakura then took off after Ino towards the captured Sasuke.

"Sakura? Wait - where are you going?" Hinata yelled after Sakura, but she was already gone.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Meanwhile, Ino had reached a now furious and pissed Sasuke.

"SASUKE-KUN! I'm here to save you from that big forehead Sakura!" Ino cooed.

Sasuke, unable to speak, mumbled something like ' GET AWAY FROM ME YOU CREEP!' Sasuke had flames in his eyes, and gave Ino a death stare, but she didn't seem to notice.

Sakura finally caught up to Ino and yelled at her rival

"INO-PIG! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET AWAY FROM SASUKE!!!"

Ino turned and smiled evilly at Sakura.

"Well, well. If it isn't big forehead Sakura. Your too late, you can't have Sasuke, so just go away now ok?" Ino said in an evil and mocking tone.

Now Sakura was fuming too. Ino, satisfied with the fact that she had really pissed Sakura off, yelled at the members of her club.

"Ok! Lets go!" They four club members and Ino then ran off, laughing joyfully at their victory; with a very pissed off Sasuke being held by his shirt collar trailing behind them.

"INO GET BACK HERE!!!" Sakura yelled after them, but they were already to far away.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Kiba stood in an alleyway close to Kurenai's door.

"Ok." Kakashi said in a serious voice. "We're going to sneak through the air vents into the enemy's stronghold."

"You mean Kurenai's house?" Shikamaru suggested

"NO! The enemy stronghold!" Kakashi yelled back. "Whatever." Shikamaru replied.

"Then" Kakashi continued, "we will use our battle hound to seek out where the captive is."

"Akamaru and your book." Kiba said

"NO, NO, NO!!!" Kakashi yelled out frustrated "The battle hound and the captive. Get it strait ok?"

*sigh* "Alright, alright. 'The battle hound and captive.' Happy?" Kiba said

"Good" Kakashi replied. "I will explain the rest once we have achieved that. Does everyone understand?"

"Yes" Kiba and Shikamaru said in unison, in an obedient soldier type tone.

"Alright then, lets go!" Kakashi said. The three of them then crawled into an air vent to their left and proceeded to crawl into Kurenai's house.
