(Beware, I had the song "Cartoon Hereos" playing whenever I type a chapter...um...yeah.)

Kaikoku also poundered around, being another person to never encounter with a dog. He hated the animals as much as Akizakura did, in fact. And he was only a tad bit less annyoed then Naruke was from the dogs barking their mouths off as they searched. "The dogs are catching people rather quickly...I wonder if they've gotten Naruke, Yokiro, Hanami, or Akizakura yet...I reconize all of their screams, and I havn't heard any of theirs yet." He thought, beggining to now trot rather slowly. Kaikoku had reconized all of the childrens screams. Narukes from when he accidently hit him on the head...hard. He reconized Yokiros anger scream from angering her so many times. Hanamis scream was from when he put a rat in her tunic as a joke on April fools day, and Akizakuras was also an angry scream. But he hadn't heard any of them.

Hanami was meanwhile still in her dog form, also skipping around the forest. Suprisingly, no dog reconized that she was a human-yet. Emerald eyes racing around, she continued to act like a dog as much as possible, sniffing the air, barking, howling, scratching her ears, and searching. She had only encountered a few dogs that looked her her with "You are suspicious" eyes, and she had only met a few children. Of corse, they all fled from her.

Yokiro...well, she continued to search for Hanami. She was now walking rather slow, feeling tired from how much energy she had used. She continued to place her hands flat on the rim of her mouth, to make her voice loud. "Hanaaaaaaaaami!" She called like a dog, searching for her friend. Meanwhile, right in a tree above the calling girl was a brow furred hazel colored eyed dog...this was the dog that was searching for Yokiro. It opened its maw and let out a loud bark. It seemed to stab Yokiro in the spinal cord, by the way of her reaction. "Oh...my...god..." Spinning around, she saw the dog, which was snarling at her like a mad wolf with rabies. Yokiro let out a nervous laugh. "E...heh heh...nice dog..." She pleaded. The dog starred at her for a couple of moments. With that Yokiro fled, screaming. The dog reacted immeaditly, it sprang up landing on the groud, and rapidly followed the poor girl, awaiting a few seconds to sink his fangs into her leg. The two kept running.

"It'll be a while before the wound heals...it's best to just keep my headband around my ankle for now." Naruke thought to himself, being afraid to speak aloud. All dogs had a sharp sense of hearing, and just anything louder then a whisper would give away his cover. "Where is everyone else?" He continued to wander around the forest, just as everyone else. "Maybe if I can find Akizakura or Kaikoku or something, I can get some extra charka...well, from Kaikoku, atleast." He remembered how "cold" his other friend seemed to be. "Or Hanami, shes seems nice enough to give it to me if I ask politely. But I know Kaikoku better." His eyes wandered around the scenery. He couldn't take his chances of being caught off-gaurd. Being the one who got made fun of, maybe he could impress atleast half of the class by being the last one that wasn't bitten by the "bloodthirsty" ninja hounds. He narrowed his eyes before jumping int another branch, being very careful with how he moved. He gripped a twig in his right hand, thinking it'd be best to test stuff with it before he wandered onto an unknown area of the forest. He couldn't risk the sharingin unless it was a major emergency with the dogs...for now. For now, a twig would have to do.

And meanwhile, Akizakuras dog was still running limping, torwards Akizakura, blood still pouring from his nose. Getting angry, Akizakura would maybe try a trick that would save charka. Her eyes scanned the ground, and she gripped a twig in her hand just like Naruke had. Putting the twig in front of her like kunai, she inched torwards the dog, trying to possibly scare it. But the hound only snapped out, and snapped the bark in half. "That's it!" She screamed, once again kicking the dog in the face, but this time she perpously made it softer, beggining to pity the creature. It only bit her sandle, but it hadn't bitten her body yet. She took out a peice of kunai, and poked the dog on the nose, making it yelp and let her go. Now was the time to use charka...she used another escaping jutsu and poofed to clear land in the forest.

Screams of children continued to echo through the forest, as one by one children got caught by dogs. But a lucky group of five children hadn't yet got caught, Akizakura, Hanami, Kaikoku, Naruke, and Yokiro.

But yet, hours passed, with teacher still waiting on the rooftop for the rest of the class. Yes, the class had persuaded him to make them sit on the rooftop on his instead of waiting inside.

"But if we stay on the roof and watch everyone else we can learn from them!"

"We'll cause havoc in the classroom!"

"You can't trust us alone!"

"Please?"

"We can see whos looking for us!"

And so on. So after finally agreeing, teacher had finally agreed to let them sit on the rooftop watching Akizakura, Hanami, Kaikoku, Naruke, Yokiro, and everyone else who still remained to be caught by the dogs.

Naruke sighed, but then clamped his hands together. "I have no choice but to atleast try to pass on this among all students...theres only three people in the class who dn't mind my parents are gay. I need to be respected in some sort of way..." His eyes suddenly froze, turning a deep red color. "The sharingan better not fail me now..." Naruke then took off, once again, using the sharingan.

"Bad dooooog!" Yokiro screamed, still being chased by the 'vicious' canine. It snapped at her legs, causing her body to tingle with fear. Yokiro had already tried to outrunit...she wished she could, but the dog was still faster then her. It barked, each time, sending a chill down her spleen, and her eyes were widned as she ran, still trying to collect points of bravery to fight it, like Akizakura did. "How did she do it!" The question snapped to her, and suddenly Yokiro sprung around, and took a kunai out of her weapon pouch. She held it in front of her desfensivly, but the moment she did, her heart sped up. The girl saw the dogs fangs about to wrap around her leg. She closed her eyes tightly, and then jammed her arm in front of her, feeling the kunai sink into something. She once again opened her eyes, and saw that she had sucessfully struck the dog-right in the chest. Yokiros eyes widened in shock, and she reached for the kunai again, and gripped her fingers around it. The dog was basically harmless now, for it was on the ground, whimpering like a puppy, with the kunai right into his chest. Yokiro pulled it out, letting the dog wince in pain. She once again closed her eyes and tried to be brave. Yokiro pityed the dog so badly, except she didn't want to risk going anywhere nearer then 20 meters from it. She sighed, and then crouched down to the dogs height, and looked into it's eyes. "That poor thing..." She forced a smile onto her face. "Hey..." She looked at the dog. "Are you okay?" She knew she wouldn't get a response, she just continued to listen to it's cries.

Yokiro sighed to herself in defeat. "I'm going to hate myself for this...i'm risking here..." She inched torwards the dog slowly, and quietly, still feeling sorry for it. Slowly, she still walked torwards it, sending various gulps down her throat, and coughing more then once. Pausing, and then walking again. Yokiro surely knew that she was taking her own risk, except she couldn't help but the save the dog. It reminded her of other dogs, and she loved to help animals, considering that dogs and puppies were her favorites.

Narukes eyes were still a blood red color, sensing that he was using sharingan. He could track anything down much like a snake, in many different colors. His plan was beggining to fail, his plan to go find Kankoku or Hanami and ask for charka, because even with sharingan, he couldn't seek one of the two out. Akizakura and Yokiro were too stingy, and he knew that already. He knew that he needed to get to a higher level of sharingan, except he wanted to save his charka. With his rookie leveled skill of the sharingan he was currently using, he could only seek out half of the people and half of the traps in the whole forest, and he havn't even covered near half of the forest. Naruke had discovered what his dog had looked like already, white with splashes of brown mixed on its fur, and a bushy tail. Except it had strangely familiar emerald eyes, much like Hanamis, and it keapt giving Naruke that puzzled look that Hanami always gave him, but he continued to ignore it, after encountering with the dog only around 3 times. Both would flee. Naruke now clutched his arm, as a deep slash wound layed upon it. He was only bleeding a tiny bit, thanks to the forehead protector that had stopped the blood from his leg/ankle. And fourtunatly for him, only a small amout of blood came from his arm. But he still felt intense pain, but he also ignored it. Well, he tried to. He carefully stood on his injured leg, letting his eyes wander around. The normal forest sightings- mud, trees, bushes, grass, blood. All completely normal. But he saw no other students around.

"Hmmm...I must be secluded kinda far away...and I can't hear any more screams..." He thought, dropping his arms to his sides, and sighing. "Dammit, this can last hours..." He mumbled to himself, beggining to walk.

"YELP!"

He spun around, hearing a dogs scream echo through the forest. He blinked once, and then glared suspiciously at his surroundings. Ripping out a kunai, he held it defensivly, not wanting to be caught off gaurd. He then walked again in a normal, but defensive way. All it took was one bite from his dog...hed be out. And he couldn't get out, now was his big chance to be respected.
