Alright folks, I know this is a little late, but....it's here now. Yay me!!!.......No yay me....? Oh well. I still love you all! Hehehe! I hope you like this so here you go.
I don't own Naruto or make any money from it. I'm so poor!
" So what does your friend look like Hinata-chan? " Sakura asked the white eyed heiress.
" Well.........he's cute........oh and he has beautiful blue eyes."
" Nice! He sounds like he's gorgeous" Ichigo said.
" Oh yes! He's adorable. "
" So what's up with this guy? Is he poor or something? Can he not afford food? " Hinata wasn't sure how to answer Hiame's question.
" How to say this?.....He doesn't need money or anything like us. He could easily hunt for his food. I just take food to him because I like to."
" Aww! So sweet! Hinata-chan has such a big heart. " Sakura said and all three of them hugged Hinata. She just giggled.
The rest of the way to see Hinata's friend was spent joking and laughing, but once they got close to where she was taking them she stopped and turned to look at them.
" Ano.....is it ok if you guys wait here for just a moment? " They all nodded at Hinata and with that she walked off into the thicket. Hinata found Naruto sitting in his usual spot by the lake waiting for her. When she came into view he started jumping up and down and wagging his tail in excitement.
" Hi! Oh, I missed you to. I have a surprise for you. I brought my friends here to meet you. I hope it's ok. Please wait here for me" Hinata smiled at the excited k9 then left to get her friends.
Naruto sat patiently and waited. He heard them long before he saw them, but when he saw that one of his Hinata's friends was one of his brothers mate he became even more excited. He ran up to the girls and began licking their hands and sniffing all around them.
" AAAHHH! Hinata, you to? This thing could tare us apart! " Ichigo, Hiame, and Hinata all looked at the now panicking Sakura with wide eyes.
" S-Sakura-chan please? He's not like that. This wolf wouldn't hurt us. I promise "

Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba were out in the distance hunting for food when suddenly Neji just froze. He began to sniff the air and the ground then looked up at the other two.
" Shikamaru.....Kiba......do you smell something.....citrusy?" Both wolves shook their heads. " An unfamiliar scent that no one else can smell is what I am searching for, am I correct? That is what you said, right Shikamaru?"
" Yep....why? Smell something?"
" I believe I will be finding....her, very soon." Said Neji then he took off in the direction in which they had just left Naruto.
Shikamaru followed close behind and they both noticed that the closer they got to Naruto's location the more they smelled their own mates. Naruto sensed his brothers getting closer so he ran off from Hinata and the girls to meet them. One they were within his vision he began to run faster.
" Oi, you guys, you'll never guess what I just found out!"
" Not now Naruto. I'm about to find her....I can smell her getting nearer." Neji said without stopping completely to greet him.
" Huh?.....oh, ok" and with that they all took back off at top speed back to the girls. When they got back to the lake they found the small group of girls looking all around for Naruto, well, not Sakura. She was just kinda standing there looking around.
" Oi, there's my mate!....and she's with both Naruto's mate and Shikamaru's. They know each other? " Kiba asked. Naruto sighed and sweat dropped.
" That's what I was trying to tell you guys. I remembered seeing Shikamaru's mate from the other day and she was with my Hinata!" Neji wasn't really listening to them, but was staring at the group of girls from the bush they were sitting behind.
" I'm going" Was all he said then slowly walked out into the clearing Only moments later Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kiba did the same. With hesitation they began to approach the girls. When they saw the wolves their faces began to light up.
" Look!....Look! It's that wolf that I helped yesterday! He's doing so much better! I'm so happy!" Hiame squealed.
" That white wolf. That's what I wanted to show you guys today to. Isn't he adorable? He's so fluffy and white! And that red fur at the tip of his ears.......so kawaii!!!" Ichigo yelled to her friends.
Sakura stood in her spot with wide eyes as her friends all ran up to one of the wild animals. Had they all lost their minds? Did their cheese slide off of their crackers? Sakura wondered this as she watched the other girls. She was looking around until she came upon the one wolf that wasn't being rubbed, scratched, or cooed at. He was just sitting there watching her? Sakura looked behind her to see it something was there, but it wasn't. Her eyes grew even wider when she realized that he was indeed watching her.
She was very afraid but, those beautiful eyes of his just wouldn't let her look away. He seemed to almost have eyes just the same as Hinata's. Only, his were more of a pearl white compared to Hinata's lavender ones. When he stood and began to walk towards Sakura she gasped and called for Hinata, but said girl didn't hear her.
" Don't be afraid" He wanted to tell her but knew that she wouldn't be able to understand. Once he was close enough to her he sat dawn and looked up into her eyes. He could sense her fear and she was visibly shaking just from his mere presence. 'This......thing is going to eat me alive' is what Sakura was thinking, but when she felt him nudge her hand a little with the tip of his nose she looked down at him in surprise.
Neji nudged her hand yet again then took a few steps forward and placed her hand on his head and whined softly. Was he trying to get her to pet him? His tail wagged knocking up the dirt and Sakura's face softened. This wolf was gray and white with a fluffy tail that had a white tip.
With a very shaky hand Sakura finally gave in and started scratching behind Neji's ear. He was happy that the smell of her fear was finally starting to decrease and she was beginning to trust him. Hinata looked over at the pink haired girl and smiled.
" See Sakura-chan it's not that bad is it?"
" …...No, I guess you guys were right all along......They are pretty cute but,....they could still be dangerous."
" Oh come off of all that dangerous shit Sakura-chan and just enjoy this once in a life time experience. If they really wanted to hurt up they would have by now." Ichigo said as Kiba licked her chin. Sakura looked at the red head then back to Neji and smiled slightly at him.
"........Fine but, if one of or all of us get bitten I'm blaming all of you." Hinata giggled, Ichigo glared at her, and Hiame rolled her eyes.
" So Hiame-chan can you tell us anything about these wolves?" Hiame looked over at Hinata and nodded.
" Well, from what I can see they are pretty young. In human years they are probably a year and about seven months which, in dog years, would probably make them be around our age. Give or take a year or two. That would mean that they are all adolescents. They seemed to have made a small pack between the four of them. Probably because they are too old to be a part of the pack they were born in, but too young or inexperienced to be an alpha male.
Most likely they are all out to find their own mates. Once they do then they will brake off from this pack and start their own....maybe. They could all stick together and decide on one of the four of them as the alpha male, but that would only happen if they were related. I've never really heard of a pack with more than one alpha male so, yeah, these guys are probably looking for their girlfriends. I think that's the only reason why they would come to this area.. They look pretty healthy so thing must be going good for them."
" Oh, just great, Shikamaru has a brainiac. She knows way too much if you ask me. Her looks should be more than enough for her to get by. Oh well, she's not my mate."
" What are you complaining about? What, do you want your mate to be dumb as a stick just like yourself Kiba?" Kiba glared at Shikamaru
" Hahaha!!! I bet you're glad they can't understand us huh, Kiba?" Naruto teased, but they all looked up when they heard Sakura speak.
" Hey you guys, it's almost noon. We've spent most of out shopping time out here. I think we should head back." Neji looked up from his spot next to the pink haired girl. He didn't want her to go just yet. He'd just found her, but he wouldn't go against her wishes.
" Ok Sakura-chan plus I'm starving" Hiame said
" I'm not really that hungry but, I do want to find some nice clothes before they're all sold out. I want to look good for my date!"
" We know damn well you're not hungry Sakura-chan. Not after how long it took you to eat this morning. Keeping Ichigo and me out out in the cold morning air while you ate a freaking feast. You could have at least offered us some" Hiame said and all the girls began to laugh. The girls all said goodbye to the wolves and stood up to head back to the village.
Alright! Sakura and Neji finally got to see each other. This chap was ok, but I think that once we get on down into the chaps things will become more exciting. Anyway, please leave a review and let me know what you thought of this. Well,........BYE!!!
