Chapter 3

ICHIKARU RAMEN WAS HER TICKET! She first had to find it and asked one the people where it was they gave her the directions.

In no time she was there, she looked at the place "sooooo this is the infamous ramen shop hehe cute" it was small and had counter and the kitchen in behind. She pulled back to the curtains a guess who she sees! Naruto gulping down ramen like there's no tomorrow! Not only him on one side of Naruto: Sakura was looking at him like he was a moron, Neji on the other side just sipping his tea all cool, Tenten beside him sipping her sake, Choji eating the ramen then his bag of chips, Shino looking all tight there looking at his ramen, Ino was chanting with Hinata, Hinata sitting there beside Ino, Rock lee with Gai sensei, And then of course Kakashi reading that damn Icha Icha book. Her jaw dropped forget trying to find the crew of Naruto most of them were friggen right there. She tried so hard not to scream for joy at the sight of all the people she recognized but she couldn't help let out a yelp. They turned around at her. "Ahhh man why does this always happen to me" thinking to herself.

She said trying to sound all cool "Haha a rock was in my shoe hehe". They just gave her blank stares and back to what they did before. Naruto slurped up the ramen noodles he had a in his mouth.

"Hey your that girl that fainted at the gates of kohana aren't you?" Naruto asked

"Haha yeah kinda embarrassing moment hah..." she stopped and took a sit at the counter where they were.

People scooted over so she could sit where Naruto was she thanked them.

"I hope that your feeling okay kiba said that you weren't that ummmm stable when he met you...you look pretty stable to me!" Naruto trying to be as nice as possible trying to say stable instead of sane. Alana saw right through that.

"If you were thinking I was crazy I'm not kay im just...well was ...umm in a state of shock that's all hmph" she declared.

"Right"

"Oh by the way my name is Alana"

"Im Naruto Uzumaki Believe it!"(Hehe) Alana smiled she tried so hard not to blurt out that she knew all about him and his life!

"Next to you is Sakura, Choji, Hinata, Ino, Lee, Gai, and Kaka….shi hey where you going" he asked Kakashi who stood up from his sit and began walking to the exit

"Oh I have to go to the Hokages for a meeting so do you Gai" Gai followed suit.

Naruto yelled " Hey that's not very nice leaving while I was introduc...bastard!"

"Heard that! Oh and nice meeting you Alana" said Kakashi while still walking

"Same here" said Gai and then they disappeared from in the crowd.

"Haha sorry for that haha so where was I oh that's Neji, Tenten, Shino and hey look its Shikamaru and Temri" Shikamaru and Temri came in Ichikaru ramen and took sits beside Tenten they were surprised that Alana was there.

"Oh hi I met you in that tea shop right" pretending to act all dumb.

"Yeah" said Shikamaru. Temri just gave a cool wave.

"Oh im Alana by the way"

Alana just smiled and everybody just greeted her. Naruto looked at her he thought she was really beautiful so did everybody else. Alana felt welcomed and noticed that they were all in their new cooler outfits that they wore when they were 15 or 16.

"Umm well im just wondering if you know where Kiba is he has my duffle" she asked Naruto

" oh yeah he went out of town for a mission with his parents so he asked me to keep it just in case I saw you again and give it back"

"Oh that's nice umm do you have it"

"No but it's at my apartment"

"oh okay well it has my stuff in it and money but im not sure if my type of money is good here besides I don't think it would be enough for a decent room"

Sakura talked "you could stay at any of our places if you want"

"Awww I don't want to intrude" politely saying to Sakura. What she really wanted to say was that she would love stay at their house mostly Neji's hehehe she really did have thing for Neji she thought he was hot in the anime when he got older. And by glancing at him WOWZAAAS he was plain sexy! She blushed when he glanced back.

"your not at all" they nodded their head.

"Ya'll so sweet" then she heard her stomach rumble many she hasn't eaten anything all day she thought no else had heard it but they did.

"Looks like someone's hungrier then me" chuckled Choji. Alana gave a smile.

"Hehe yeah haven't eaten all day"

"Here it's my treat" said Naruto

"Thanks" Alana gave a giggle when she saw Naruto brought out that oh so cute frog "purse" he had!

She got a big bowl of ramen and began eating it.

"So what brings you to kohana" asked Neji. Everyone just tuned in

"Ummmm well it was kinda an unexpected visit you could say im just trying to get home"

"Ohh where do you live" asked Ino

"Ohh wow some place way way far from here heh" Alana giving a smile then it changed to a frown she just stared at her bowl and began eating again.

"How did you get here anyway" Temri asked

" I don't know exactly..."she paused then she began making up a lie on how she just woke up a half mile away from here and Akamaru taking her bag bring her here. they believed her.

The rest of the time in the ramen shop they just chatted it up with everyone and that was just pure fun for Alana trying to get to know everyone. At the end when everybody was about to go home Choji, Lee, Shikamaru, and Temri all left already and made their goodbyes. Naruto got stuck with the bill hehe he was pretty pissed his Froggy lost some weight after hehehe. There stood Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Shino, Ino, Tenten, Neji and Alana outside the ramen shop. Alana couldn't stop talking to Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Tenten she enjoyed their company they became fast friends. She chose to go to Naruto because it was the only one that made sense because he had her stuff there anywayz. She said her goodbye s and just hugged everyone goodbye but it was kinda creepy hugging Shino because he had bugs all around his body ewe. But Neji just blushed when she hugged him so did she.
