Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"Four o'clock," Sasuke pants, sweat dripping from his brow.
"I think…" Naruto strained, his eyes creasing, "I think I see it!"
"Oh thank god." Sakura rushed out, leaping over the trashcan and grabbing a handful of mangy pelt and dragging it close to her body. Keeping the sharp claws away from her face—she's got scars there, she swears—and tight against her body, she grins brightly at Sasuke and Naruto who are nearly ready to drop from exhaustion.
"Hour six: Mission Complete!" Naruto shouts, full of glee.
The cat yowls so loudly in Sakura's ear that Sasuke winces from three meters away from her.
If she shoves the stupid thing into the owner's arms a little harder than usual, no one comments.
Enjoy! thank you all so much for commenting, I love reading what you all think about my story! :)
