Hey, here is the second chapter, still stuck on Belief and working on Suna no Kitsune, This chapter is the start of the humor though. Thanks to all who've reviewed.
Discalimer: Don't own Naruto.
"Hey, is your dog alright?" Naruto and Kakashi looked up as a woman with three brown colored dogs came walking up. They were passing through the park, Kakashi was highly doubting that it was time for the team to meet at this point, it still felt early. "Oh . . . " The woman looked surprised. "Don't you normally wear orange?"
"Yeah . . ." Naruto looked uncomfortable. "Umm, gomen, who are you?"
"It's okay, I'm Inuzuka Hana, Kiba's older sister, I know who you are, but Kiba never said you had a dog." Hana gave a small smile, before her three dogs barked. "Oh, and these are my dogs, the Hachimaru brothers."
"I found him last night, after a dog pack attacked him, I know a little on patching cuts up . . ." Naruto had wanted to avoid people, he really felt uneasy with this whole thing.
"Would you let me look at him? I'm the veternarian for my clan, it wouldn't be any trouble." Kakashi wasn't paying attention, he was trying to communicate with the three dogs.
Tell Hana it's Hatake Kakashi, I've been turned into a dog . . . can you understand me? Kakashi half barked half growled.
What is your name? We can't understand you. The hachimaru brothers were confused, this dog couldn't communicate.
"Okay then, come with me . . . what are you doing up so early anyway?"
"Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd train alittle, before meeting my team." Kaksahi's ears swiveled to the two humans that were talking.
Wait, you couldn't sleep, so you decided to train, are you crazy? No wonder you're small, you need sleep to grow. Kakashi started to lecture, before remembering he couldn't talk. Come on, some one understand me! Kakashi noted where they were going as well. Kami . . . Hana's vet office. I should've known she'd ask to check on me, should've known to run. Someone was out to make sure Kakashi was eventually slowly humiliated. He briefly wondered if you could die from humiliation. Why the hell did Naruto say yes?
"Okay here we are. Oooofffff! He's kinda big." Hana had picked him up and put him on the table. Kakashi tried to get off of it. The cold metal was unsettling for him.
No way, I'm fine! Naruto, why'd you take me to the vet?! Kakashi barked.
"Whoa, hey, easy. She won't hurt you, you're acting really silly Fang." Naruto's height was a serious disadvantage as both him and Hana attempted to keep him on the table.
"He must not like this place." Hana gave a small frown. "Keep talking to him Naruto."
"'Kay. Fang it's alright, she's not going to hurt you, she's just going to help, it will be okay." Kakashi knew that he was panicking for no good reason, but there was something about the metal table he was on that was clicking on a dim memory.
Okay, Kakashi, chill, Hana won't hurt you, you owe her a date, anyway. Just relax, focus on Naruto, what the hell is wrong with me? Kakashi noted the mirror on one of the walls. Aside from the dog thing. Hana let go of her grip, as she checked him over, he was finally able to see what he looked like other than shaggy and silver grey. He was fairly big, which made him question how Naruto had been able to carry him, His ears were errect, and he looked more like a wolf than dog. He was pretty thin too. His eyes were two different colors, one was his normal blue, the other was brown. Do I still have the sharigan? He'd have to find out later.
"He looks alright, you did a good job patching him up." Hana rubbed 'fang's' ears. "I am going to have o sitch him up in a few places, though." Hana gently numbed Kakashi's back leg, and part of his side.
"Okay, uh, how much would I owe you?" Naruto had relaxed, but now looked uneasy. Kakashi's ears turned towards Naruto's voice.
"Kakashi's your sensei, right?" Hana had a slight evil hint to her smile.
"Hai . . ." Naruto looked up at her, "Why?"
"I'll put the charge on his vet tab . . . The guy still owes me a date." Hana finished stitching up the dog. "Also, Naruto, you need to be a little more careful with this dog, he's at least half wolf, and he might be a little tempermental. Come back in a few days, and I'll get the stiches out."
"Thanks, Hana-san!" Naruto gave his characteristic grin. "You're one of the best!"
"No sweat . . . If Kakashi shows up today, tell him Hana wants to talk."
"'Kay! Come on Fang." Kakashi tried getting up, but his back leg wasn't supporting his weight. Hana and Naruto both laughed. Hana put him on the ground. "Better take it slow, huh?"
Yeah, you think? I'm seriously loosing any dignity that I had . . . When I get back to human, I will never be able to live this down. Kakashi limped after naruto, waiting for the feeling in his leg to return. This time however, he noticed here they were going. There's no way that Ramen place is open now, see the closed sign? He was surprised when the door was opened by Ayame.
"Ohayo, Naruto, two more minutes and you'd have been late." She smiled at him, and noticed Kakashi. "Who's this?"
"Fang, I found him last night." The three entered the shop and Naruto began helping Ayame with putting the chairs around the tables, and setting up the shop. Kakashi lay down by the entrance, the feeling in his back leg begining to return.
"Naruto . . . I know you like helping people, but you can barely feed yourself, taking fang in might not have been the best idea."
"I know, Ayame-san, but I'm doing alright, and I'm going to ask Sakura and Sasuke if they can take care of him." Naruto gave a small smile.
"Naruto, you'll tell them that you don't make enough money?" Kakashi took in everything with interest. Naruto wasn't as irresponsible as he thought.
"No, the fact that my apartment complex doesn't allow pets. They don't need to worry about me . . . They wouldn't anyway." Naruto finished his set of tables. Ayame just sighed. "I'll be right back." Naruto disapeared into the men's restroom.
"Team 7 is the only team that doesn't meet for lunch here . . . Sasuke only has eyes for his own needs, and Sakura only has eyes for Sasuke . . . Naruto tries so hard to be acknowledged by them both . . ." Ayame sighed. "I guess for the Kyuubi container, lif is going to be one uphill battle." She finished her last table.
Yeah, and the kid's going to need all the help he can get. Though when He acts like an idiot you can't tell his life is hard . . . Kuso, when I get to be human again, I'm going to fix that. Kakashi blinked as cooked beef was placed in front of his nose. What the-? He glanced up at Ayame who smiled at him.
"Here, I doubt Naruto-kun has fed you yet, he has a tendency to forget to eat when he's by himself." Ayame Disapeared into the kitchen, Kakashi ate pretty quick, he hadn't noticed how hungry he was.
Note to self, talk to Ayame more, she knows alot about Naruto. Wonder what she meant by 'by himself'. Never seen him miss a meal on a mission. Kakashi finished and watched Naruto wolf down about three bowls of Ramen. His appetite's fine, Though he needs a new diet. A light bulb went on over Kakashi's head. Hey, If I can watch the other two like this, I can finally work on some of their problem areas. Though I probably should report to the hokage . . . I'll do that later.
"Bye Ayame-chan! I'm going to go train!" Naruto smiled at her, and began to leave.
"Be careful!" Ayame waved as the two left. That's one strange dog.
Naruto, you do realize the others aren't there right? Kakashi looked up at the distant expression on Naruto's face. Hello? Kakashi nudged Naruto's hand with his nose, only gaining a ear rub. Kami, I wish I could talk. The two made their way to Team 7's training area. Kakashi wondering how the rest of the day would go.
