Chapter 2: Inu-Quest
The five teenagers moved swiftly through the halls of the orphanage keeping a sharp eye to find Akamaru and being careful not to be seen. It wasn't exactly hard since everyone was at breakfast, but since 2 of the girls weren't there, someone was bound to look for them eventually. As they came nearer to the first floor, they could catch a whiff of breakfast down in the Dining room; then they heard a stomach grumble.
"Uhhh… I'm hungry," said Anne.
"No time for eating, Anne, we have to find Akamaru before Sister Alice does. Kiba, you know him the best, where do you think he might be?" Samantha asked Kiba.
"Well, he would probably be sniffing me out…" he said thoughtfully.
"I sure am glad I'm not that dog," said Anne.
"Why?" asked Samantha and Kiba.
"'Cause I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on sniffing him out when the air is filled with the smell of food! Wonderful, delicious foo—"
"That's it, Anne! You're a genius!"
"Yeah, I knew that… eh, why am I a genius?" she asked.
"Don't you see? The reason why Akamaru hasn't sniffed Kiba out yet is the smell of food! It's so strong that it probably overcomes Kiba's smell! So the place in which we'll probably find him is the kitchen!" said Samantha excitedly.
"Well the we better go quick! Sister Rose is bound to see him!" and so they headed for the first floor. They passed one by one the entrance of the Dining room so they wouldn't draw too much attention, then they peeked inside the kitchen. Sure enough, there was Akamaru sniffing the air, and sister Rose was just doing the dishes. The only reason she had not seen him is because she had her Walkman on.
"Akamaru!" Kiba whispered, "Akamaru, get over here!" The dog looked at him, but then he simply kept on sniffing the air, this time standing on his hind legs (A/N: he looks sooo cute!).
"Damn!" he whispered, and the he got on all fours and crawled his way towards Akamaru. Now, Akamaru, being the generous soul that he is, thought Kiba was here for the food too, and so he started barking to get the woman's attention so she would give them some food.
"Akamaru, no!" Kiba said, and then he threw himself over his puppy, rolling on the floor and hitting a table, therefore making pots drop to the floor with a clatter. Now this sound startled sister Rose.
"What is going on here!" she yelled as she took her walkman off her ears. Samantha and Anne ran inside the room to get Kiba out, but they noticed that he was nowhere to be seen.
"What do you want, girls?" she asked, still a bit startled.
"Uhh, well…"
"We heard some pots drop and we came to see if you were all right," Anne lied quickly.
"Uhh, yeah! That!" said Samantha pointing at Anne, who quickly lowered Sam's pointing finger and smiled at sister Rose.
"Well thank you, girls, I am all right, but I could've sworn I saw something stumble with the table…"
"Er, well, we didn't see anything. But we just wanted to check on you, and seeing that you're okay we'll just go, see ya!" said Anne pulling Samantha out.
"Close call!" said Anne.
"Too close," said a voice from above. They looked up and saw Kiba on the roof (he was in a Spiderman-like position, with his back to the roof holding on with his hands and feet).
"He… how…" Anne fell on her butt from shock, eyes wide like tennis balls and weakly pointing at Kiba, who jumped down falling in a crouched position with one knee up.
"Whoa, Kiba! That was amazing! I didn't even see you move!" said Samantha pretty impressed.
"You did move faster than normal, Kiba-kun," said Hinata.
"Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did! But I couldn't let her catch us could I?" he said petting Akamaru who was now safe inside his jacket and then sending a glance towards Samantha.
"Great! Now that we have Akamaru we can—uh-oh…" said Samantha.
"What?" said Anne standing up (all this time she has till been on the floor of shock, she still was, but she recovered a little).
"What'll we do with the food? You can't just stroll by the dining room and eat. Hmmm… well, just go back to the room and we'll bring you something, okay?" said Anne, they nodded and they all made their way to their tasks.
15 minutes later…
Team 8's version:
The Konoha ninjas were sitting in the lower bunk, waiting for the girls to arrive.
"When are they going to get here? I'm hungry!" said Shino. Kiba and Hinata were like this 0.o
"What?" Shino said. Kiba and Hinata just kept looking at him like if he had grown an extra head. Then they heard the door knock. Hinata stood up, opened the door, but then she felt something pull it back and slam it closed.
"What happened Hinata?" asked Kiba standing up.
"I-It's the door, I tried to open it but it closed itself," she said, making way for Kiba. Kiba tried to open it, but it didn't budge. Then he pulled with force and in came Anne, who fell to the floor, and outside was Samantha with two other girls…
Sam and Anne's version:
"Whoo! Good thing we could get some extra grub!" said Anne. They were climbing the stairs with a bag of food each.
"Extra grub? Half of this is for you! But yeah, I bet they're hungry. Poor guys, they're my favorite team in all of Naruto, and I got them into this mess, being stuck here and all, the least I can do is give them shelter for now—Oi!" Yelled Samantha. Two girls were opening their room, and Kiba, Hinata and Shino were inside! Anne gave a few giant steps and pulled the door closed. She glared at the girls that had tried to open the door (so did Samantha, who was now beside her), and the glares were equally returned.
"Hello, Annie-banannie," said one of the girls; she was identical to Anne in every single little detail, with the exception that her hair was bleached.
"Who's talking 'bout bananas, peroxide-head?" Anne replied coolly.
"Your right! I should've made that carrot," Anne's blonde double said.
"You shouldn't talk, Mary! Your hair was red until you started hanging out with Barbie here!" Said Samantha nodding towards a blond (a natural one at least) that was beside Mary. She had a totally awesome body, blue eyes and blonde hair 2 inches past her shoulders. But at that moment the door made a move, but Anne held it shut, but then the force implied to the door was too strong and the door opened, pulling Anne inside and sending her flying. She fell on the floor and saw that Kiba was the one that had opened the door.
"Y… you have people in here… boys!" Said Mary backing away, but there was a smile in her face that they didn't like one bit. She and Barbie looked at each other, exchanging evil grins, and then they set off at a run. Samantha and Anne set off after them, but Kiba got in front of them. He searched din his pouch, took out two kunais and aimed them towards the running girls.
"Kiba! No!" Samantha yelled, but too late, Kiba had already thrown the kunais, but not at them. Each kunai flew at least a few millimeters away from each girl's ear and they stuck themselves in the opposite – concrete – wall. The girls stopped out of shock of feeling the knives fly so close to them. Samantha got his intentions instantly: he didn't want to kill them; he only wanted to scare them.
"Good, isn't he? He could've aimed those at your backs if he wanted to, so you could've been dead right now," said Samantha coolly. The girls, who had been rooted to the spot, slowly turned around. They hadn't paid much attention to the boy, but now that they saw him, that they saw his eyes… They slowly backed away, but then the boy with the weird eyes made a gesture towards their feet. They looked down and were horrified to see that where they had stood were a few of their hairs. They each touched their hair as a reflex and saw that a small lock of hair was shorter in the side in which the kunai knife had flown by. The kunai had been thrown with such precision that it actually managed to go far enough not to cut their ears off, but go close enough to cut a lock of hair each. Right now, both girls were seriously freaked out.
"W-who… what are you?" asked Mary with a shaky voice.
"We're ninjas from Konohagakure Village." Kiba smiled the sort of bad boy smile that would drive any girl crazy, but this wasn't the case.
"I-I-I'm telling on you!" said Mary, pointing an accusing finger.
"Oh, sure! You're just gonna waltz over to Mother Clavel and say: 'there's evil ninjas on the building that attacked us!' You know Mary, I always thought that you talked nothing but nonsense, but this will be the most eloquent thing you've ever said!" said Samantha ironically.
"And besides, if you plain say that we have someone here with us, you'll find these kunai knives on your backs before you can even say 'bleach'." Said Anne.
"And don't even try to do anything funny! Because out dear Hinata here can see through walls," said Samantha grabbing Hinata gently by the shoulders and putting her in front of her. She was going to ask Hinata to give them a little taste of the Byakugan, but by only seeing Hinata's pupil-less eyes they believed her.
"Now…" Anne said, she looked at Samantha and they both smiled.
"…Get out of our sight!" Samantha and Anne yelled simultaneously, and both blondes ran away. The two best friends laughed as they high-fived each other.
"Who were they?" asked Kiba curiously.
"Those were Carol Ranger and my bitch of a twin sister Mary," said Anne.
"Oh, and since were telling names, could you tell us yours?" asked Kiba. It suddenly hit them that all this time they had not introduced themselves.
"Well, I'm Mane Samantha, and this is Whither Anne," said Samantha.
"Eh, what's with the order of events?" asked Anne.
"Japanese always say their last names first," explained Samantha.
"Oohhhhhh, cool," she said.
"Man, Akamaru, you sure have given us trouble! Aw, but you're a good puppy, you're a good puppy, aren't you?" Samantha cooed as she petted Akamaru's head, which was poking out of Kiba's jacked. Kiba felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"So, shall we get eating?" Anne asked. Samantha laughed and started humming "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow". Anne gave a high-pitched screamed and threw herself over Samantha and they ended up rolling around in the room. Samantha was plain laughing at Anne's childish reaction, and after a few minutes they were all sitting in the floor eating happily.
Downstairs…
"That was like, so scary!" said Carol as they stopped at the foot of the stairs to catch their breath. They had run at full speed away from those freaks.
"Yeah, but if they think they can threaten us and get away with it, they've got it all wrong!" growled Mary.
"What do you have in mind?" asked Carol.
"Oho, something really fun…"
GAH! Please don't eat me! Please pity me if you noticed the "Writer's-block" virus having a slight effect in me! But if you didn't notice anything and actually liked the Chappie, plzz read and review XD.
P.S.: I am aware that Akamaru actually grows Huge in cannon, but I figured as to keep things simple that he should remain small, for the sanity of those poor girls. Even that small he causes trouble as you can see, imagine him big!
