Naruto wasn't sure how to feel, On one hand he was scared and confused from being turned into a tiny fox with nine tails, been attacked by villagers and random animals he met and He has to deal with the humiliation of being saved by Cat-jerk. On the other hand he was feeling VERY comfortable being held by Sakuraas they made their way to what he was hoping lunch. Every now and again he would squirm or try to say something but would always end up as barks or whimpers too which Sakura would smile and scratch him behind the ear making Naruto make a purring sound. Naruto wasn't complaining about how affectionate Sakura was being with him but this was gonna have to be taken care of sooner or later, he couldn't stay as a fox forever now could he?

Sakura was hoping Sasuke or Kakashi found Naruto so they could just get on with their day. Looking for Naruto wasn't exactly thrilling to her but then she started wondering if anything happened to him. It was rare that Naruto was late when ever they had to meet. She was doing her best to be worried about Naruto but she was getting distracted by the fox purring in her arms and the growing hunger she was feeling.

"OK! Lunch first Finding teammates second!" Sakura said to herself and took a quick look around to see what restaurant was closest! Sakura couldn't see anything on this street so she decided to walk around and go to the first place she saw.

She turned a corner and saw a small stand selling various kinds of meat on a stick so she went to get a stick of whatever. It turned out to be chicken with some kind of spicy spice that spiced up the spicy chicken with its spiciness. Naruto was hoping for Ramen but was not about to complain when Sakura tore off some of the chicken and gave it to him. Sakura found a bench to sit at but was wondering if the fox could be trusted to not run away if she put him down. She put him down and was relieved that the fox just sat quietly staring at her and the chicken on a stick.

"You have to be Naruto's since your so tame aren't you?" Sakura asked the fox not expecting an answer." Naruto got and idea and a half just then. He just wasn't going to put it into action just then.

Sakura just sat on the bench eating the chicken giving some to the fox now and again. She noticed some passersby would stare at the fox with what she guessed shock or confusion.

Well it isn't everyday you see a fox with nine tails sitting on a bench eating chicken on a stick with the most beautiful kunoichi in the world no is it? Sakura thought to herself silently laughing at her inner self's modesty. After she finished her meal she was going to look for a trash can to through the stick away but it was snatched out of her hand by the fox.

"Hey what are you doing little fox?" Sakura questioned the fox but was answered by the fox running into an alley of to the side. Sakura rushed after the fox but stopped when she saw the fox doing something with the stick.

Naruto was writing in the dirt with the stick. He was busy writing a message but using your mouth to write is tougher then it seems. Sakura was about to read Naruto's partial message which was "I am Naru-" when she heard someone call her. She turned to see who it was. It was Sasuke. She immediately picked the fox up and ran over calling out "Sasuke-kun!" completely forgetting what the fox was previously doing.

Naruto dropped the stick when he was abruptly picked up by Sakura. Naruto didn't know what was going o but after recognizing who Sakura ran towards he immediately flattened his ears and somewhat growled at his angsty teammate.

Sasuke was looking for Naruto or Sakura when he spotted his pink haired teammate in the entrance of an alley but was curious as to why she had a ball of orange fur held in her arms. Upon closer inspection of the orange fur ball it turned out to be a fox…with nine tails.

"Sasuke-kun, did you find Naruto?

"No I didn't" came Sasuke's curt reply "Sakura, why do you have a nine-tailed fox with you?" Sasuke pointed to Naruto

"It's Naruto's, I think and it got hurt so I'm taking care of it till I find Naruto and beat him for letting it get hurt. Sakura answered while petting Naruto's head making him stop his half growls to enjoy the feeling.

"Sakura We should get back to the bridge and wait for Kakashi, he might have found Naruto." Sasuke said in a bored tone.

Sakura agreed and they both began walking to the bridge where Team 7 usually meets. While on the way Sakura told Sasuke about how she found the fox at Naruto's place. Once they got to the bridge Sasuke and Sakura waited for Kakashi to show up to give any news about Naruto's whereabouts. Naruto was getting increasingly annoyed at the way Sasuke was making Sakura stare at him while he was acting all cool leaning against the railing like that. Naruto couldn't take it anymore and decided he wasn't going to let Sasuke have all of Sakura's attention anymore. He figured he might as well work with what he's got. Naruto let out a soft bark and when Sakura looked at him he stood up with his back paws on Sakura's arms and his front paws on her shoulders and he licked her cheek.

"awww how cute" Sakura said hugging the fox. The fox was rubbing the side of its head against her cheek "such a sweet little fox aren't you?" Sakura cooed

"Holy crap I just licked Sakura's cheek! That's practically a kiss! I just kissed Sakura! I just kissed Sakura! I just kissed Sakura! I just kissed Sakura" Naruto wasscreaming to himself.

Sasuke was ignoring the two while leaning against the rail of the bridge calmly waiting for his sensei. Well that's what he was trying to do anyway. Though he wouldn't show it to anyone he was Furious beyond all reason.

"Get your Filthy paws and slobbery tongue away from Sakura you nine tailed moccasin" Sasuke screamed in his mind. Sasuke wasn't sure why he cared whether some dumb orange animal that reminded him of his dumb orange teammate was being so affectionatewith Sakura. He couldn't be jealous, He was an Uchiha and Uchihas don't get jealous. But then the fox did something weird. It looked straight at Sasuke. Stared at him straight in the eye then it licked Sakura's cheek again.

"Hah! How do you like that Teme? Sakura-chan likes me way more then she ever liked you Naruto had composed himself from his "first kiss" with Sakura and came up with this plan to piss Sasuke off.

Sakura giggled at the lick on her cheek and gave the fox a kiss on its forehead…that did it…Sasuke snapped

"THAT'S IT! This fox must die NOW Sasuke thought as he began walking towards Sakura and Naruto with one thought in his mind, making footwear out of that stupid fox.

TBC….probly

yes i realise Sasuke is OOC but hey, it seems entertaining making him like this. If you hate his oocness tell me in a reveiw and i will politely send the Demon brothers to slice you into peices with their razor chain thing. or not...
