Chapter 7

Knock, knock

Naruto whipped his head to the door and glared at it, he tore his eyes away and stared back at the window as the sun brightly shines.

As soon as Naruto's eyes were ready to close, angry knocks erupted inside his room. Rolling his eyes out of frustration he buried his face on his pillow shouting "GO AWAY!" under the pillow, which sounded pretty much like 'Fo Fawayf'.

Knocks turned to bangs, rapid bangs, on the door. Couldn't take it anymore, Naruto made his way, stomping his feet, to the door. Grabbing the knob angrily and slammed it open. "Didn't I told you to…" trailed off as he saw the angry Kiba and behind him the expressionless Shino. Naruto eeped.

Shaking his knuckles as he force a smile. "Yo! Naruto." Shino raised his hand to greet with a low tone of voice.

"H-ha-ha-hai." Naruto waved a shaky hand at Shino. "H-hi, Shino, Kiba."

Unable to control his anger, Kiba pulled Naruto's shirt collar and shook him really hard. "HOW DARE YOU NOT ANSWER THE DOOR WHEN THERE SOMEONE KNOCKING?"

With swirling eyes, "I answered the knock! Didn't I tell you to go away?" still being shook vigorously.

"Ahh, Kiba…" Shino trying to calm the outraged Kiba but to no avail, the dog lover didn't stopped…"Ah, no use."

"HOW SHOULD I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE TELLING US TO GO AWAY? I HEARD YOU SAY 'FO FAWAYF' OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT! HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT?" still shaking the now, unconscious Naruto. "Aiya…did I just do that?" he asked the only witness, who happened to be Shino.

The Abumare just nodded in response. "Why didn't you tell me that I was shaking him too hard?" Kiba planted his knuckles on the silent boy.

"I was trying to, but you weren't even listing." Shino replied calmly, while nursing his lump.

Kiba gave a scared or nervous smile and waved his hand. "Anyways, we need to take care of this or the others will think that we picked on him or something like that." He picked up the unconscious blond and entered the room.

Placing the blond boy at the bed, Kiba and Shino made them selves sit at the edge of the bed.

"What are you two doing in there?" was asked in a lazy way. Kiba and Shino nearly jumped out of their skins, when they turned around and was welcomed by the face of Shikamaru. "You know it'll be troublesome if someone find the two of you here without permission and did I mention that you left the door open?" he said lazily didn't even bothered to look at the open door. (Ire: which, he left open.)

Kiba and Shino looked at each other then looked at Shikamaru. "Why didn't you closed it then?" Kiba replied.

Shino shrugged and rolled his eyes. "Cause I found it very troublesome." Kiba and Shino sweat dropped and whispered to each other. However, Shikamaru found that quite…troublesome. "Hey!" he caught the two's attention. "What are you doing here? And why is Naruto unconscious?" he raised a suspicious eyebrow.

Shino shook his head and pointed an accusing finger at Kiba. Shikamaru glared at Kiba. "Explain, Inuzuka, Kiba." He demanded.

Well, Kiba did explain to Shikamaru. Shikamaru nodded and walked to the side of Kiba. Planting his knuckles very hard. "Stupid Idiot!"

Kiba nursed his injured scalp and growled. "What was that for?"

"Nothing I just want to hit you." Shikamaru looked at the window.

Narrowing and quivering his lip cause of irritation, Kiba suddenly realized something, giving a sly grin he asked. "Ne, Shikamaru, why are you also here?" asked the dog boy.

A death glare and a harrumph were his answer and "I am a friend of Naruto, even it's too bothersome to ask him why was he pissed off…"

He was cut of by moan and the three threw their gazes at the blond who is on the bed. And the blond was mumbling something. The trio got curious and they leaned a little to listen. "Sa-su-ke…" was he said.

The trio bolted and bumped their heads on each other. "Aw!" was all they said in chorus.

Nursing his head. "Did I hear him right? Did he just say the Bastard's name?" Kiba looked at the blond.

Shino and Shikamaru nodded in reply. "Looks like it. And I think he's already asleep." Shikamaru looked over the now snoring blond. Shino again nodded as he heard the snore.

"Eeeeee! That's it!" Kiba shook the sleeping blond and slapped him for sometime. "Getting unconscious then fallen asleep! Argh! Naruto wake up, wake up!" half lidded blue eyes opened. "WAKE UP!" Kiba yelled at his ears.

Freaked out. "Waaaaaaa! I didn't do it, honestly, don't hurt me!" the blond covered his head as if someone will lash him out.

Kiba and the other two exchanged looks with a sweat drop. Kiba let go of Naruto, letting go gently. He reached for the blonde's head, grinning big; Kiba ruffled the blonde's hair, like a big brother would. "Hey, I am sorry, Naruto…I didn't mean to scare you like that…"

The blond peered over by breaking one eye open and saw Kiba's stupid face. A flash back ran over his head. The time when he stormed in the house and went straight in their room, he remembered being mad at Gaara, Sasuke and Neji. A tear escaped from his eye.

Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru in panic mode.

Oh my dog! He's crying! I didn't do anything that hurt him right?

How do you deal a crying friend? Hmm, how do I handle that whenever Hinata's crying? Hmm, okay, I really don't know, Kiba was the one who always make her stop.

It's so troublesome seeing that energetic idiot crying, I hope he says 'thanks' or 'thank you' for this.

"Uhh, Naruto…" the trio looked at each other as they chorused.

Naruto lounged to Kiba arms, and there he cried and cried, Kiba on that moment frowned and looked at the other two, who are also frowning. Then he looked back at the blond, he hugged the shorter boy ruffling his hear.

When Naruto calmed down a little, he wiped his tears away and sat up. Under him was Kiba. "Iwaaaaaaaaaaa!" Naruto slammed his hand on Kiba's head. "What were you thinking? Hugging me like that? Kiba no Hentai!"

"What?" bolting up. "It wasn't me who was crying and lounged out on somebody!" he explained, irritated.

Pointing to himself, with an innocent look, he scratched his head and grinned. "I did that, heh…" three fists connected on Naruto's head. "AW! Now what was that for?"

Kiba and Shikamaru narrowed their eyes on Naruto…(Ire: I don't know about Shino, he's wearing shades.) the trio looked at each other, then Kiba laughed, Shikamaru chuckled and Shino…smiled…

Puffing his cheeks at the sight of the trio, he narrowed his eyes on them and stared. "What are you three doing here?" he asked.

Kiba suddenly stopped laughing, so as Shikamaru who stopped chuckling, and Shino returned to his usual emotionless looks. "Oh, right, I remembered." Kiba looked at Naruto with a serious look.

Naruto raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms against his chest. "Remembered what?"

"Why were you crying?" Shino asked with an emotionless tone. "And why were you so pissed off?" he continued as he sat down at the edge of the bed.

Naruto was really surprised. "Shino?" he walked towards the Bug lover, he placed a hand on Shino's forehead and placed his other hand on his own forehead. Confused, he removed his hand on Shino's forehead and placed it on the boy's neck. "Hey, you're not sick…are you sure that you are fine?"

"Sweat drop." Shino replied and Naruto, Shikamaru & Kiba sweat dropped. "Anyways, I am just concerned, cause I am your friend."

Moved by the words Shino said, "Thank you, Shino," he turned back to Kiba and Shikamaru. "Kiba, Shikamaru…"

Shikamaru scratched his cheek and looked at the ceiling, Kiba shoved his hands inside his pockets and rubbed his foot on the carpet, Shino…just stared at the floor…I guess.

"So much about that drama, I am going down." Naruto suddenly announced and made his way to the door. The three snapped back and pulled him aback by his collar. "Whoa! No pulling of the collar, please!" he snapped as he was thrown to the bed, his bed.

"You are not getting anywhere, Naruto!" Kiba warned with a grin. "Until you say the reason why you stormed off your best friend and your two other friends."

Pouting and crossed his arms against his chest, like a child he replied. "Why do you want to know? Is not like your world will crumble down if I wont tell you the reason."

"We're just concern? Why wont you look at that angle?" again, Kiba shook him.

"Ahhh, Ki-Kiba, be sure that he wont faint, again." Shino warned Kiba with a slight furrowing of his brows.

Kiba snapped back and suddenly let go of Naruto that caused him to drop the blond boy to the ground. "Oh, right. I remembered that. Sorry 'bout that Naruto, I didn't mean to shake you that hard."

"AW! Now that hurts! Letting me fall like that!" Naruto growled. Then he let out a sigh, a sigh of defeat. "Alright, I will tell you my reasons, but first of all, I want to tell you three a secret, and I really do wish, that you wont tell it to anybody!." He pleaded.

"Why suddenly make us promise? Promises are too troublesome, but fine, I will not tell it to anybody." Shino promised with a raised hand.

Shino nodded with a serious look on his face. "I promise I wont tell it."

"Promises, aren't they made to be broken?" Naruto, Shino and Shikamaru gave him the face. "All righty, I know that I am also loud, but I was just joking! I know when to be loud and when to be not okay, and I am a man of my own words." He said as he place his hand on his chest like he's pledging from something. "I promise, I won't tell anybody about that secret of yours." He winked at Naruto.

Naruto gulp a huge amount of air and sighed it out. "All right, here it goes…"

(After explanation…)

"WHAT!" the trio burst out, even Shino did.

Covering his ears from the outrage, Naruto, looked at the trio with a pout. "Didn't I tell you not to burst out loudly?" he asked.

"NO!" again, the three burst out at the blond that made him flinch and cover his ears harder than before.

"Okay, my mistake." He said, still hands on his ears. "Pft, if I knew that you would just do that out bursting things, I shouldn't have told you." he puffed his cheeks and pouted crossing his arms and legs on the ground.

Kiba slapped his forehead. "Who wouldn't be surprised?" he said as he place his hands on Naruto's shoulders. "So, you're telling us." Kiba looked at the other two who are still shock. "That, you and that Uchiha?" Naruto nodded his head. "Now, I have a reason for more interrogations." He mumbled under his breath.

"Huh?" Naruto looked over at Kiba's hidden eyes.

Kiba stood up and walked his way up to the door, before he could leave. "Where are you going?" Shikamaru asked him with a lazy tone.

"Sasuke." Was all his answer and walked outside.

Naruto, raised an eyebrow. "Is…is he angry? Or mad?" Shino and Shikamaru shrugged. "Eh?"

"Alright!" Sakura held a thin wooden stick on her hand; she slammed it on a black board that popped out of nowhere. "The plan is, To say sorry to Naruto that wont hurt you super, humongous egos." She said at the three, which are Sasuke, Neji and Gaara.

"Would you just get on with it." Neji flickered his hand at Sakura.

"Use that tone of voice on me again,Hyuuga-san and I promise that Naruto will hate you forever!" she snapped back and Neji sweat dropped on her.

"Alright! Listen up, Ladies!" I always wanted to say that. "The plan is, it's really easy I promise." She said and stuck out her tongue at the three, who glared at her. "Okay, okay, I'll get on with it." he rolled her eyes. "The only thing that can make him forgive you three is…."

"Is…" Sasuke leaned a little with an eager look in his eyes.

"Is…what?" Neji also, with an eager look but a little irritated with the suspense.

"Get on with it!" Gaara glared at her but too eager to know what is the plan.

"It's a matter of treating him ramen and doing all what he wants that's all." Sakura crossed her arms against her chest and smiled at the three. The three stared at her. "What? Is there something on my face?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"And what will we do if he refuses the offer?" Gaara asked her with a glint of hesitation.

Sakura hmmed, tapped her chin and looked at the ceiling. Giving a smile on her companions. "Then, you three should do the Plan B."

The three raised their eyebrow. Giving her a confused look. "What Plan B?"

Sakura sighed. "Make your own plan." She said as she chuckled and walk away. "Hey, if ramen won't work, scar your prides and just say sorry to him." She turned around at the boys, "but that was just one of my suggestion, feel free to disregard it!" And stuck her tongue out. And then she fled the hall.

"So, what do you want? Plan A or Plan B?" Neji asked the two as he looked at them.

Shocked at the 'plans' they shrugged. "I think I'll go think for my Plan B, then." He tapped his chin. "Incases that the said'Plan A'fails." He stood up from the floor and walked his way to his room. "See you guys!" there he ran away.

"Huh?" dumbfounded Sasuke and Gaara stared at the fleeting Neji. "His a whacko!" the two of them stated as they watch Neji enter his room.

Long silence was inserted on the room…but Sasuke broke it up and stood. "So…" he dusted off his shirt. "What to do then?" he asked the red head sand nin beside him.

"I'll go to my room first, and follow Neji's action…" Sasuke raised an eyebrow with a disgusted face. "I mean to plan a Plan B! And not run like a sissy!" Gaara also stood up and walked pass Sasuke and went upstairs.

A sigh escaped Sasuke. "Okay, maybe killing off time will be needed here." He said as he made his way to the stairs. "Wait!" he halted. "Isn't he in our room?"

He stiffened when Kiba's face approached him. Clutching his heart in the surprise. "Hey! Don't do that! You'll give me a heart attack!"

Kiba narrowed his eyes on the Uchiha with a pout on his face. "Hey! What's with the look?" The raven boy asked as nervously.

Kiba, then pulled Sasuke's arm and dragged him up to where Naruto, Shino and Shikamaru are, ready to do some questionings.

"He-Hey! Where you dragging me to?" Sasuke tried to struggle out of the Inuzaka's clutches.

Kiba only growled and banged open the door when they approached the said door. The room was totally dark, regardless on how the sun is so brightly up. Finally getting scared, Sasuke looked at Kiba. "Umm, w-why is this room so dark?"

Sasuke felt that he was sited on a chair and he was being tied up, very fast, "Hey! What's the rope for?" he growled as he couldn't move anymore. "Hey! What's this all about?"

A bulb was lit open and it was directed only at Sasuke, who is tied up for the while. (Ire: here's the picture! The bulb is lighting Sasuke like a spot light or something.)

Huh? Since when did this light bulb enter the room, that bulb's not here last night?

Out of the corners of the dark came 3 guys wearing a police uniform Kiba, wearing a police uniform with a bat on his hand, a shades, and an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, Shikamaru's also wearing a police uniform, he's also wearing shades and his hands were shoved in his pockets. Shino as usual, wearing shades but the police uniform he wears,is high colared,hiding half of his face and hands dug in his pockets.

"Ooookay, you three are quite creepy, you know what I am saying?" Sasuke looked at the three who fought their laughter.

"I didn't know that you look pleasing in a police outfit." Shikamaru looked at Kiba who laughed back at Shikamaru.

"Don't get all sissy!" Said Kiba between laughter.

"Hey! Are we going to start or what?" Shino spoke up and immediately the two stopped laughing. "Who will ask first?"

"Me! Oh me! Let me be the first!" Kiba jumped as he raised his hand.

"Go ahead then, Mutt face." Shikamaru and Shino bowed at Kiba and gestured him to start.

Kiba walked around the tensed Sasuke, alerted that he's tensed, Kiba managed to surprise the proud Uchiha out of his skin, Kiba laughed at the sight and was automatically hit by Shino and Shikamaru on the head. "Fine! I am getting on it! I just found it funny that Sasuke's tensed." He chuckled.

"Just get on with it." Shino implied and Kiba narrowed his eyes.

"Okay! Interrogation!" Kiba laughed hard and again, he was hit, but this time, by accompanied by a blond. "Hey! Who's the third one?" as the blond walked out of the shadows. "Nya! Naruto?"

Ire: Mwahahahahaaha! Today no Inners! Nyahahaha.

Neji: Hey! I kinda like the Inner Neji!

Naruto: Ew! You like that bug creep?

Ire: Hey! I like his attitude!

Sasuke: I like you better if you wont imitate him.

Ire: Who ever told you that I'd imitate him? Baka-Sasuke.

Naruto: Now, Sasu-chan, no fighting… we already talked about this right?
