Yeah! I got 3 reviews! Well, I was actually hoping for more than that but maybe I'll get more for this chapter? Please?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; now get lost nasty lawyer people.

Kakashi leaned against the side of the bridge with his nose into his all-time favourite porn book, Icha Icha Paradise.
"Kakashi-sensei! What…what are you doing here?"
Kakashi looked up from his book to see Naruto and Sakura staring at him.
"Waiting for you two of course. Where have you been? You're 2 hours late."
Shocked all Naruto and Sakura could do was stare. "Sensei?" Sakura asked quietly "Are you trying to tell us that you've actually been here since 9 this morning?"
"Well, yes of course. That was the agreed time, wasn't it?"
Naruto suddenly pointed his finger at his teacher "You can't be Kakashi-sensei! He's always at least 2 hours late! You're an impostor!"
"Naruto, shut up" Kakashi stood up and put his book back into his pocket. "Well since you're both so late today, we're going to have some intense training, some very intense training"
Naruto and Sakura both stared at each other in shock.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Later that day an exhausted Sakura and Naruto could be found collapsed at the ramen bar. Sakura raised her head and glared at the blond lying next to her "I'm never listening to you again. I'm arriving on time tomorrow; I don't care if Kakashi is never on time again. I am not risking it"
Wearily Naruto lifted his head and peered at the pink haired girl "I don't blame you, I think I'll be there tomorrow too"
The old man behind the counter prodded the semi-unconscious pair "Hey! You two, are you ordering anything or not? If you are, could you please tell me what you want"
At this Naruto perked up grinning "Yeah I'd like miso ramen please! Sakura!" he nudged the girl beside him "What do you want Sakura-Chan?"
"Chicken please"
The old man smiled "Right, one miso ramen and one chicken ramen coming right up"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE ALL DEAD?"
The jounin standing in front of the hokage cowered in fear. Tsunade was glaring at the unfortunate man, frothing at the mouth.
"THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST! HOW CAN THEY GET KILLED BY SOME ANIMAL?"
"I…I…don't know Tsunade-sama but my team found them earlier, they…they were ripped to shreds…"
"OUT!"
With a scream the terrified ninja ran out of the office not looking back.
"Tsunade-sama you know that it wasn't his fault? He just happened to find the bodies, that's all"
Tsunade looked over her shoulder to see her attendant Shizune frowning at her. Sighing, the hokage laid her head on her several large piles of paperwork "I know I know I'm just so exasperated just now. This whole thing's not making any sense!" She lifted her head off the desk and scowled as she realised a form had stuck to her face. She ripped the offending paper off her cheek and threw it back on the desk "AND THIS DAMN PAPERWORK JUST KEEPS ON COMING!"
Shizune just shook her head "It would help if you actually did some of it instead of sleeping you know"
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!"
"That you sleep a lot"
"OUT!"

Miyoko was bored and hungry. She and the rest of her genin team were currently experiencing the wonders of D-ranked missions. Today's one involved finding a cat. "I'm hungry! When can we eat?"
"Shut up Miyoko" Her team-mate Tayka snarled at her through the headset "You'll scare the cat!"
Grumbling Miyoko silently moved through the forest looking out for any sign of movement. She heard a sudden rustle to left of her, finally! She thought, it better be the damn cat. She moved closer to the noise.
"Hey guys?" She called through her headset, "I think I've found the cat, I'm moving in closer"
"Good, we'll be with you in a second"
Miyoko moved into the bushes expecting to find the cat, instead she found herself staring into the eyes of some sort of monstrous black dog. It growled at her before latching onto her arm.
"AAAAAAHHH!"
"Miyoko! What's wrong?"
Miyoko didn't answer, instead she looked on in fear as more of creatures appeared.
"You can eat her; she's no use to us"
Surprised Miyoko looked on at the speaker in amazement.
"WHY!" She screamed.
"My pets are hungry"
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
"Hi Gaara! Still here?"
"What does it look like?"
Naruto got back to his place after filling himself up with ramen; the blond grinned and walked up towards the red head.
"Well, it's just that I'd thought you'd be busy with a load of Kazekage stuff back at the Sand"
"I don't, I have people to do that for me"
"Then what do you do?"
Gaara looked straight at the other boy before kissing him, Naruto happily kissed back. After a few breathless moments they broke apart.
"Whatever I want"
"Didn't you do that before you were Kazekage?"
Gaara just snorted "No, before I was Kazekage people tried to follow me"
Naruto merely smiled his fox grin "The emphasis is on the word tried Gaara" Naruto wandered over to the kitchen and opened the fridge "You hungry?"
"Didn't you just eat a ton of ramen?"
"I asked if you were hungry not me" He bent down and looked into the fridge "Hey! We never did have that stuff you brought over the other night" He looked up at Gaara "Want to have some?" He said smiling.
Gaara wasn't listening to him, instead his attentions were focused elsewhere "Naruto, someone's coming, I'll hide out in the bedroom, you better shut that fridge"
"Oh ok" Naruto shut the fridge as Gaara disappeared, a few moments later Sakura was at the door.
"Naruto! Come quickly, the hokage wants to see us! That monster that attacked Tenten, it's killed a genin!"
"We better go then Sakura-Chan" and with that the two ninjas ran off.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Tayka and Satoshi sat in the hospital ward shaking. Only an hour ago, they found their team-mate Miyoko torn apart in the middle of the forest. The cat forgotten they ran back to the village terrified. A couple of ninjas and their instructor were trying to calm them down.
Sakura stared at them in sadness; she turned to Tsunade who was standing beside her "Have they said what happened yet?"
"As far as we know they had split up in the forest, looking for a cat. Miyoko told them through their headsets that she thought she found the cat. Then they heard screaming" She placed her hand on her forehead and sighed "From their description of the body I'd say it's the same thing that got Tenten and the others"
"Baa-Chan…What are we going to do?"
Tsunade glared at the blonde "Stop calling me that! I'm going to get every available ninja and get them to search that damn forest; I'm not having any more casualties!"
"When are you going to do this?
"First thing in the morning, until then I don't want anyone near that place" She looked directly into Naruto's eyes "And I mean no-one!"
Naruto grinned and waved his hand in front of the hokage's face "Don't worry baa-chan"
"I mean it Uzumaki! Don't you dare try any of your stupid heroics!"
Naruto looked up into Tsunade's eyes and smiled "And I said don't worry baa-chan, I'm not going to try and fight those things"
For some reason Tsunade found herself believing Naruto.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Gaara was getting bored; he'd been waiting for ages for Naruto to show up. How long was he going to take! Maybe he should go look for him, but then again he shouldn't risk anyone spotting him. He wasn't exactly supposed to be in Konoha right now. There was a sudden large noise outside the flat and he turned his head to face the door. He smiled, Naruto had finally returned.
"Gaara, I'm back. Sorry that took so long" The blond walked into the bedroom and sat on the bed beside him. "Baa-chan going to send out every available ninja tomorrow morning to search the forest"
"Is that so?"
"Yeah" Naruto grinned "I wonder how many are going to die?"
"I don't care; you should stop thinking so much"
Naruto pouted and leaned against Gaara "I like thinking, if you think hard enough you see things you like"
"It's called daydreaming idiot"
"That's mean Gaara" Naruto playfully shoved Gaara "Take that back, I'm not an idiot!"
"Fine, you're not an idiot" No sooner had he finished that sentence he found himself being latched upon by Naruto.
"Thank you!" Still smiling Naruto hugged him tighter "See, I knew you loved me really" Suddenly he scowled "Shut up" he growled he let go of Gaara "No! I don't want to, not tonight!" He clenched his fist and dug his nails into his hands "FUCK OFF!"
Sighing Gaara leaned onto Naruto and put his arm around the boy's shoulders, "What does he want?"
The boy turned to look at him, his eyes now a bright red "Blood, he wants blood. But I want to stay with you tonight"
"We'll go together then; he's not going to give up until he gets what he wants"
The blond looked thoughtful for a moment before smiling again "Yeah! Let's get lots of blood! Lots and lots!"
Gaara watched Naruto as the ninja started talking excitedly about what they would do tonight. Something that could almost be passed of as a smile graced his lips, Naruto was calm again, and that was good. "Gaara?" the red head blinked as he was driven out of his thoughts by the blonde "Yes Naruto?"
"Afterwards…could we fuck?"
"Yes Naruto"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Later that night Iruka stood outside of Naruto's apartment complete with a bag of food. He'd been knocking on the door for the past five minutes without getting an answer. Iruka was worried about the boy, he'd seemed to be acting odd lately, he couldn't quite work out what exactly but something wasn't quite right. So he decided to bring Naruto some groceries, the boy never could pass on free food and maybe Iruka could get the kid to eat something healthy for once.
Still no answer, maybe Naruto was asleep? Iruka decided to go in anyway, the boy's door was probably unlocked, and it was. The chuunin walked towards the small kitchenette and place the bag on the counter; he considered checking to see if the boy was indeed asleep but discarded that thought. He didn't want to wake the boy. Instead he decided upon putting the food away and leaving a note for Naruto in the morning. So he bent down and opened the fridge. Inside it he saw something strange. He took said object out and stared at it for a few moments before it hit him as to what it was he was holding.
Iruka dropped it and ran out of the building, groceries forgotten, and threw up in the nearby bushes.
