Lee pulled a small turtle out of the box. Sakura held her breath to keep in all her laughter. Shikmaru on the other hand didnt give a shit and was rolling around on the ground in tears as he laughed. Neji looked at something else than Lee and tried not to laugh. Lee shot a deadly glare at Kurenai. Kurenai pressed her index fingers together
"Um...Eh..Name your pets" She said nervously.
Sakura breathed in a couple of times and sighed
"God that was funny.." She said out loud.
Shikamaru was holding his sides laughing still. Sakura sat down with the black wolf cub with white on the tips of its ears, tails, paws, and nose on her lap. The wolf watched Shikamaru roll on the ground. Shikamarus mouse was running up and down on Shikamaru's stomach. He watched it silently. Sakura heard a bird somewhere far off in the forest. Neji sat next to Sakura and watched his snake coil around his arm tighter
"Masurao.." He said.
Everyone looked at Neji
"Huh?" Sakura asked him
"The snakes name is Masurao." Sakura smiled at Neji and he blushed slightly.
She leaned against his shoulder and he wrapped his free arm around her waist
"Your name will be...hm...Juuniji" Sakura said to her wolf cub.
Juuniji jumped up and down excitedly. She pounced her hand and bit it gently. She quietly chewed and licked on her hand gently while she watched her giggling
"Well if yours is Juuniji and yours is Masurao..Mine will be Kage." Shikamaru said playing hide and seek with his mouse.
He was searching his pockets for Kage when he popped his head out of his pants. Shikamaru blushed and grabbed Kage gently. He held Kage in his hand and pet him gently. Kage laid down in Shikamarus hand and fell asleep. Shikamaru couldnt help but smile at the small mouse
"Even if i got a lame pet mine will beat all of yours!" Lee exclaimed.
Sakura rolled her eyes."Hasha is hi--HER!" Lee yelled out looking at the turtle more closely
"IT CANT BE A GIRL! WHY KURENAI! WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME!" He yelled clutching Hasha.
Sakura's cheeks puffed up as she held in her laughter. Neji raised an eyebrown and looked at her. She grabbed onto Nejis shirt and leaned against her body. She did her best to hide her laughter. Neji laughed a little and put his free arm around her
" Just laugh he cant do anything to you." Neji told her.
Sakura bursted out laughing into Nejis shirt. A sweatdrop formed on his head
" Ok..I didnt exactlly mean on me but ok." He said to himself.
Shikamaru sighed after a long loud laugh
"So what now I mean..we already named them and crap so what?" Shikamaru asked Kurenai not looking at her
" Now we train. stand up." Kurenai said.
Everybody stood up holding their pets. Lee's head was hung low and he sighed and depression
" Why..." He mumbled to himself.
Everyone rolled their eyes to Lee's dramaticness. Kurenai looked at all of them
" First of all. You should try combining your moves with your pets how about...Lee and...Sakura try a spar first." Kurenai said pointing to them.
Sakura nodded and waled over to the middle of the gym they had found in Heavens Creek. Lee sulked over to the middle of the gym across from Sakura. Neji and Shikamaru sat leaning against the wall.
Lee put Hasha on the floor and Sakura put Juuniji on the floor. Juuniji growled at Hasha and got in a fighting stance. Sakura got in a fighting stance and Lee did the same. Sakura smirked at Lee
" Looks like your poor turtle cant stand on its own" Sakura teased Lee.
Lee growled
'Good thing Naruto taught me some of his moves..Id be dead if he didnt' Sakura thought to herself.
Sakura looked at Hasha and laughed. Juuniji sat down and licked his paws boredly
"NOBODY LOWERS THERE GUARD ON ROCK LEE!" Lee yelled.
He ran at Sakura extremly fast. Sakura jumped up and kicked him in the back of the head. Juuniji watched Sakura anctiously. Sakura smiled and did Shadow clone jutsu. 10 pairs of Sakura and Juuniji appeared. All life like. Lee looked at them confused and looked at Hasha
" Ok Hasha! ATTACK!" Lee yelled.
Hasha began to slowly make her way to Sakura and Juuniji. Lee smacked his head
"Geez.." He murmured.
Sakura rolled ehr eyes and her and her clones attacked. The real one suddenly appeared behind him and pinned his arms behind him. Juuniji tackled Lee in the gut. Lee yelped and fell to the floor clutching his stomach. Juuniji then transformed into a adult wolf and pounced on Lee. He pinned Lee to the ground growling viciously. Drool dripping from his mouth. Thee drool fell on Lee's face
" WHAT THE HELL THIS ISNT ANY ORDINARY DROOL!" Lee shouted.
He was paralyzed. Sakura smiled and delivered a finishing punch into Lee's stomach. Lee fell uncouncious. Neji and Shikamaru cheered. Kurenai just stared in surprise
"Didnt no they where THAT strong" She said to herself.
Sakura picked up Hasha and Juuniji managed to get Lee onto his back. He brought Lee over to the rest of the group and laid him down on the sidelines. Neji sighed and got up
" Next is Shikamaru and Neji" Kurenai said.
Neji and Shikamaru went to the middle of the gym. Shikamaru looked at Neji. Shikamaru used his Ninpou Kage Mane No Jutsu on Neji. Neji dodged it and used his 46 hands combat on him. Shikamaru dodged it and used his Shadow attachment jutsu. Neji was caught in it. Neji smirked
"You forgot about one thing." Neji said coolly.
Masurao dashed from Nejis wrist to Shikamarus neck in lower than a second. Shikamaru cried out as the snake bit his neck making hims fall over in pain
" Damn!" He yelled out.
Kage poped out of Shikamarus pocket and clawed at Masurao who was still attached to Shikamarus neck. The snake let go of Shikamarus neck. Kage pounced the snake and bite it. The snake let out a loud hiss. He dashed back to Nejis wrist and cowarded behind his hand. Neji chuckled a little and was now infront of Shikamaru. Shikamaru had lost control of his Shadow attachment jutsu when Masurao bit him. Neji punched Shikamaru as Shikamaru punched him. Neji ducked it and low kicked him. Shikamaru fell bacwards and his head smacked against the floor. He was knocked out.
Sakura cheered and Kurenai sighed. She had to nurses come in and take Lee and Shikamaru to get fixed up. Sakura and Neji had finished training for the day. It was 7:00pm already. Sakura sighed and winced a little. She was aching everywhere. Her whole body was sore. Neji looked at her and smiled a bit. Sakura was holding Juuniji who was now back in his cub form. Neji looked at Masurao and sighed
"Hey Sakura can you heal Masurao?" Neji asked now looking at her
"Eh..I told Kurenai-Sensei i wouldnt but...sure i guess" Sakura said shrugging.
She laid her hands on Masurao gently and healed him. Masurao regained conciousness and coiled around Nejis bandaged arm. Neji smiled.
"Thanks" He said Sakura nodded
"What should we eat?" Neji asked her looking in the fridge
"Um..Lets have--" Sakura was interrupted from yells coming outside.
She froze.
She felt a tingle down her spine. Neji looked at her
"Sakura whats wrong?" Neji asked her.
He closed the fridge and looked at her. Sakura went outside and stopped in the door way. Kurenai was yelling at Gai sensei, Kakashi sensei, Asuma sensei, and Baki sensei
" WE WHERE HERE FIRST YOU CANT JUST COME IN AND CLAIM IT AS YOUR SPOT! WE HAVE ANOTHER 6 DAYS!" Kurenai yelled at them
"WELL WE WHERE TOLD THAT WE ALL HAD TO BE HERE!" Asuma yelled back.
Sakura and Neji walked out to the fighting group. Behind Kakashi where his group Kiba, Kabuto, and Gaara. Behind Gai where his group Naruto and Hinata. Behind Baki where his group Shino, Temari, and Ino. Sakura glared at Ino. She felt Neji wrap his arm around her shoulders. Sakura stopped glaring and leaned against Neji. Sakura smiled and leaned closer to him. The there was Asuma's group Behind Asuma was Ten ten, Kankuro, And...Sasuke.
Sakura shivered.
Sasuke looked at her and smirked. Sakura froze. Juuniji started growling at Sasuke. he jumped out of Sakuras arms and got in a pouncing position to pounce Sasuke. Sasuke looked at the wolrf and glared at it. Juuniji bared his fangs. His drool dripped from his mouth and he advanced on Sasuke. Asuma grabbed Juuniji by the neck
" CALM THIS THING DOWN!" He yelled.
Sakura went up to Asuma
" Get your hands off him...Now.." She said.
There was a flash of anger that went through her eyes. Asuma let go of the wolf and everyone stared at Sakura. Sakura looked at Juuniji
" Come.." She said and walked off.
Juuniji growled at everyone and ran off after Sakura. Sasuke watched her walk away and mentally cursed to himself. Kakashi looked at Kurenai
" What was that about?" He asked.
Kurenai blushed
" She has maternal instincts..If you touch her child she would kill you..If you hurt her child...Prepare for the worst.." Kurenai said looking back at Sakura.
Neji stepped up to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Neji trying not to show his fear
" What the hell do you want?" Sasuke snapped at Neji.
Neji smirked. He raised his arm with Masurao on it and thrust it at Sasuke
"Meet Masurao..He has a deadly bite..Dont mess with Sakura" Neji said and walked off.
Sasuke felt a shiver go through his spine. Kiba watched as Neji went after Sakura
" Hes right Sasuke...Stop messing with Sakura..We all no what you did and we hate you for it." Kiba said giving Sasuke a cold glare
" Im going to check on Sakura..." Kiba said.
He walked off in the direction Sakura and Neji had went
"Me too...Sasuke..You need to back off of Sakura..You hurt her..And i bet you dont feel anything for that." Sasuke looked away.
He looked up at Choji
"You just joined our group! you dont know anything! i didnt do anything to her!" Sasuke said and with that he stromed off somewhere.
Choji sighed and walked off to find Sakura with Ten Ten, Kabuto, Naruto, Shino, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro,and Hinata.
Sakura was sitting on her bed with Juuniji's head on her lap. He was still in his adult form. Se pet his head gently. Neji was sitting on the floor by her feeding Masurao some crickets. Sakura had a peice of raw meat in her hand for Juuniji. He ate it out of her hand snuggling closer to her. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in.." Sakura said totally absorbed in searching Juuniji for any cuts Asuma might have caused him.
Juuniji licked the blood off her hand from the raw meat when Choji, Ten Ten, Shino, Naruto, Hinata, Temari, Gaara, Kabuto, Kankuro, and Kiba walked in. Ino had run off after Sasuke. Everyone sat somewhere in the room andwatched Sakura feed Juuniji
"Sakura..Whats up? You've been good?" Hinata asked Sakura breaking the silence
Sakura looked at Hinata still petting Juuniji who watched everyone cautiously.
"Ive been great. Oh and everyone this is Juuniji." Sakura said indictaing to the wolf laying his head on her lap.
Kiba's eyes widened.
"You know Juujuin Bunshin!" Kiba shouted out.
Akamaru whimpered and Kiba pat him on the head. Sakura fed Juuniji another peice of raw meat and he ate it. He once again licked the blood off her hand.
"Yea..Me, Neji, Shikamaru, and Lee have our own pets now." She said.
Everyone looked around.
"Uh..Where are Lee and Sikamaru?"Gaara asked her
"Hehe. Neji had a battle with Shikamaru and beat him. But They had to keep Shikamaru overnight because Masurao bit him and they have to take the poison out. I fought Lee. Well lets just say..Lee is paralyzed" She said
Everyone shrugged and nodded. Naruto couldnt stop wiggling around. He couldnt stand it he got up and ran over to Sakura
"SAKURA!" He grabbed her and hugged her tightly.
Sakura giggled and Juuniji growled litghtly. Sakura hugged Naruto back
"GROUP HUG!" Naruto yelled.
Ten Ten laughed and went over to them she hugged Sakura. Kiba, Shino, Gaara, and Kankuro sighed and walked over to Sakura. They hugged her also. Hinata ran over to them and hugged Sakura too. Kabuto got a sweatdrop on his head and also hugged Sakura. Choji laughed and hugged Sakura. Temari also hugged Sakura and Neji hugged her too. Sakura hugged them all back. Juuniji whimpered and tackled them knocking them all down on the floor.
"Ok..Enough of that..." Gaara said.
He got up and dusted himself off. Everyone did the same. Sakura sat on Nejis lap and Juuniji laid near her with his head on her lap. Hinata sat on Narutos lap, Ten Ten sat on Gaara's lap, and Temari sat on Shinos lap. Gaara looked at Ten Ten
"You do know now everyone knows right?" He asked her.
She nodded
"Yea and I dont care" She said.
She kissed him gently on the lips and he blushed and kissed her back. Sakura's and everyone elses eyes widdened at what Gaara and Ten Ten where doing. Temari smiled and looked at Shino. She pulled the collar of his jacket down and kissed him. Shino blushed uncontrolably and kissed her back. Everyones eyes widdened at what Temari and Shino where doing. Neji looked at Sakura
"Shall we?" She asked him
"We shall" He replied
Sakura laughed and kissed him deeply. Neji put his arms around her wast and kissed her back. Naruto and Hinata shurgged and started kissing. Choji, Kabuto, and Kiba coughed. Everyone stopped kissing
"Eh..Sorry" Sakura and Neji said at the same time
"Yea..Heh sorry" Naruto said.
Hinata nodded
"What they said" Gaara and Ten Ten said.
"No problem.." They said.
Sakura sighed. She got off of Nejis lap and pat Juuniji on the head
"I guess you guys are staying here as well?" Sakura asked them.
They nodded. Sakura shrugged
"Well..Im going to sleep now but there are beds for the boys on the other side and the beds for the girls are on this side..BUT...i doubt you wanna sleep on the boys side..Kurenai has her..how should i say...Midnight activities." Sakura explained
Everyone shivered.
"Im stayin over here!" Naruto declaried
Everyone nodded. Sakura shrugged. Her and Nejis got some extra blankes and pillows and gave them to everybody. Ten Ten put her pillow down near Gaaras and she snuggled up to him. Gaara put the cover over them and closed his eyes holding her. Naruto slept near Hinata. He put the blanket over them and he fell asleep instantly. Temari cuddled up to Shino. She had her pillow on his lap and her head on the pillow. Shino was sitting up against the wall with a blanket draped over his shoulders and Temari had one over herself. Choji curled up near the wall and covered up. Kabuto and Kiba did the same. Sakura laid on her bed and snuggled up to neji. Neji wrapped his arms around her. Juuniji laid ontop of them and fell asleep.
"Sakura I never told anyone this...no one..at all..but I..I wanna tell you this.." Neji whispered in Sakuras ear.
