Sakura's eyes were wide. Sasuke had a half crazy half insane look in his eye. Naruto was shocked to say the least. The nipple of a baby bottle was poking his chest where his heart is.
"What the hell?" Naruto yelled in his mind trying to figure out why Sasuke was trying to stab him with a baby bottlefull of what appears to be milk but decided he might as well drink some since he was thirsty from that spicy chicken. So he started to drink from the bottle.
"I can't believe Sasuke-kun is feeding a baby fox from a bottle! That's so cute Sakura thought to herself.
"what happened to my kunai?" Sasuke asked himself, pissed off that his plan to do away with the fox failed.
"A young fox needs milk to grow up healthy."
Sasuke whirled around to see Kakashi standing behind him balancing a kunai on one finger.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura said surprised by the sudden entrance of the said ninja
"Yo" Kakashi greeted with a small wave of his hand.
"Sakura, Sasuke. You haven't found Naruto" Kakashi stated more then asked since there was an extreme lack of an orange and blond ninja around them. He then looked at Sasuke then at the fox then back at Sasuke then at his flirting paradise book.
Sasuke was already annoyed that he couldn't kill the stupid fox but now his stupid sensei was reading his stupid porn book instead of finding his stupid teammate so they could get on with their stupid training. Sasuke then remembered he still had the stupid fox in his arms while it was happily drinking milk from a bottle. Sasuke was going to have none of this. He took the bottle away and dropped the fox.
Naruto yelped as he hit the ground caught completely off guard by his sudden decent to earth.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said wondering why he dropped the fox.
"Hey Teme! What the hell was that?" Naruto yelled but what the others heard were angry barks. "give the bottle back that was some high quality milk!" Naruto barked at Sasuke but Sasuke just held the bottle over Naruto in a teasing fashion. "Fine you wanna play like that Sasuke! then let's play it your way." Naruto readied himself and lunged.
Sasuke was unprepared for the sudden attack and was feeling pain in his left leg. Naruto had lunged at Sasuke's leg and wrapped his jaws around Sasuke's leg in a not quite bone crushing bite. Though he was small the bite still didn't tickle any and Sasuke was not amused.
"SAKURA get your stupid fox off of me!" Sasuke didn't shout because he was an Uchiha and Uchiha's are always in control of themselves But he didn't calmly ask either. He was trying to shake the fox off his leg but that just made the fox bite harder.
"give me the bottle, quick" Sakura said taking the bottle and gathered the fox up in her arms. After some coaxing with the bottle the fox let go and began to drink again after a victorious glare at the Uchiha.
"The fox is yours Sakura?" Kakashi asked. Not looking away from his book.
"No, I think its Naruto's. Sakura replied.
"Naruto's eh?" Kakashi drawled.
"I think it's his anyway. It was on his bed when I went over to his apartment to check on him? Sakura explained while feeding the fox.
"What were you doing there and WHY were you on his BED!" Sasuke was almost shouting. Sakura jumped slightly while the fox gave a growl at Sasuke.
"I wasn't ON his bed and I was there looking for Naruto like I said but I just cleaned it up for him a little. By the way…" Sakura said in a more hushed tone. "I'm worried about Naruto. He had a bunch of empty sake bottles lying around his apartment. I think he might have a slight drinking problem."
Sasuke just tended to his bite wounds not caring about his comrade's habits. What was a little alcohol now and again anyway? He himself has some to get through a particularly rough day or to help with unwanted memories for a night. Kakashi just gave a nod with a similar thought to Sasuke's. He didn't think it was that big a deal but it was nice to see that Sakura really did care enough to worry about her teammate.
"Teammates should care for each other like that. Looks like I've gotten through to her at least. Sakura just made Kakashi's day with that one sentence. "I have to speak with the Hokage. Sakura, Sasuke if you see Naruto tell him I'm looking for him and we will still be meeting for practice tomorrow.
The two genin nodded before Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke. Sasuke turned to walk home when Sakura called him.
"Sasuke-kun, do you…" "come on Sakura use that huge brain of yours!" Inner Sakura told outer Sakura. "Want to look for Naruto around the park? That's the way! Hell yeah Inner Sakura cheered here counter part on.
"Why would I want to go look for Naruto in the park with you? Take your stupid pet fox for a walk in the park, you two seem to get along so well anyway! Tch. your so annoying Sakura.I can't even be around you right now" Sasuke spat with venom dripping from each word as he practically stomped off.
Sakura nearly had tears in her eyes from Sasuke's harsh tone words andshe was almost posative she saw a rather rude finger gesture aimed at the fox. i "why was he being so harsh? And why doesn't he like this fox its just a baby fox, how could someone hate it Sakura thought as she looked down at the fox who finished the bottle of milk and let out a burp. It looked as if it were deep in thought.
"why was Sasuke being an even bigger jerk then usual? Meh, must be his time of the month.He looked up at Sakura who was still thinking about Sasuke anddecided to snap Sakura out of her thoughts with a bark or two.
Sakura blinked then looked at the fox in her arms. Well you must have been pretty thirsty drinking a full bottle of milk that weighs as much as you do. Sakura sighed before she began walking without knowing where she was going. The bottle disappeared in a puff of smoke a few moments later, Startling the Sakura and fox. Sakura figured it had to do with some jutsu Kakashi made up, having eight dogs and all.Sakura decided to do what Sasuke suggested. She went to the park with the fox.
On the way she noticed that when some of the older people saw the fox their looks became cold, harsh or angry. Mothers kept themselves between the fox and their children when they passed. She could here them say something when they felt they were far enough away to talk about her or the fox to other adults. Not only was Sakura curios why this was happening but she was also getting pretty pissed off by it all as well. After arriving at the park Sakura had at least a 20 meter radius free of little kids or adults wherever she went. Sakura found a spot she liked and figured she might as well rest for a little while. The sun was being particularly bright today and Sakura didn't want to overheat so she sat in some trees shade for a while. Putting the fox down she watched it for a little while to make sure it wouldn't just run away but when it just sat beside her she felt it was time to relax for a bit.
Some minutes later a man walked up to Sakura and eyed the fox before striking up a conversation.
"Where did you find that? The man asked in what could be described as angry tone as he pointed to the fox relaxing next to Sakura.
"Huh? Why do you want to know?" Sakura said coldly. She was tired of the negative energy she has been feeling when adults see the fox.
Naruto's attention was all on the conversation the two were having and was ready to step in if the man tried anything. Naruto was brave but dumb. Coming up not much higher then the man's ankle he would stand no chance against him but would try anyway.
"I want to know why you're with this little monster fox."
"Monster fox? It might be unusual with its nine tails but it's not a monster.
"You should do everyone a favor and drown it in the lake over there." The man said flatly.
Naruto's ears went flat against his head and his tails were low. His eyes couldn't look away from the ground as painful memories flooded his head.
"Why don't you go drown yourself!"
Go live in the forest with the other beasts!
"Get lost monster fox."
"Kids! Stay away from that THING"
Naruto could still here thecruel things adults said to himfrom his childhood.
"What the hell is wrong with you, you sick asshole?" Sakura nearly shouted at the man. It's just a baby fox what could it have done to make you think drowning it is a good idea?
"I'd tell you but there's a law against it. You should let me take the fox. I'll make a nice pair of mittens for you. The man said with almost glee in his tone.
"Get any closer to the fox and I'll-"
"What's going on here?"
Sakura turned to the new voice and saw Kurenai walking up to the two.
"Nothing just trying to get rid of some trash" the man replied.
"TRASH?" Sakura shouted at the man and prepared to throw some punches but Kurenai's arm prevented her from getting closer to him.
"I wasn't really asking you. I heard what you were talking about I just wanted to make my presence known. Just leave before someone gets hurt! Kurenai politely ordered.
The man new he was dealing with a ninjasince thehead protector was a dead givawayand didn't want to have his ass handed to him. So he just turned around murmuring a most likely last dig at Sakura or the fox but they didn't pay attention to it.
"So what was that all about?" Kurenai asked Sakura.
"I don't even know. I was just sitting here with Naruto's Fox when that guy came up and started asking about the fox." Sakura explained
"The fox?" Kurenai looked around.
"Ya its right…" Sakura trailed off looking for the fox but couldn't find it. "OH NO! It's gone! I Lost Naruto's fox, he's gonna kill me!" "Well Not if wekill him first! Hell yeah! Sakura shook the violent thoughts out of her head when Sakura felt herself being enveloped in a hug.
"Don't worry Sakura!" Kurenai Sobbed "We'll find your fox! Kurenai said letting Sakura go "I'll look this way you look over there Kurenia shouted in a triumphant tone punctuating it with a fist in the air just before she leapt off into the trees.
"What's up with her? Sakura wondered before setting off to look for the missing fox.
Naruto sighed as he slinked along the underbrush in the park. He crept away from Sakura when she and the man were talking. He didn't want to here any more about monster foxes and what people should do to them. Adults and there hatred of him was always a touchy subject and seemed to depress Naruto fairly easily. He just wanted to be away from "PEOPLE" for a while.
"heh…People... Am I even a person anymore? Was I even a person to start with? But i'm still not the kyuubi...well i'm pretty close to being him now i guess." Naruto was deep in thought as he walked through the park forest. He barely noticed the impact his head made on something. Naruto was just able to lift his head up high enough to se he walked into someone.
"Wild Foxes are very cautious of who and what they approach when moving through an area. They rarely bump into a human like this. You are not wild fox. Shino stated to the fox in his stoic tone.
"Is he always like this?…and who does he think he is telling me how foxes act I'm the fox here he can't tell me how I should act. Naruto thought to himself before noticing others walking up to them.
"Who are you talking to over there" Came Kiba's voice before Kiba showed up with Hinata walking through some bushes.
"This fox" was shino's reply
"Oh…" was all Kiba said.
For some reason when Hinata saw the fox she blushed. She had no idea why but it reminded her of her crush Naruto.
"It has to be the whiskers" Hinata told herself.
"There you are!" Came Sakura's voice "I'm so glad I found you."
Um…Is this fox y-yours Sakura-san? Hinata asked while fighting away her blush.
"No it's Naruto's. By the way you guys haven't seen him around lately have you?"
"Can't say that I have".
"um…no I didn't. Sorry".
"I haven't seen him lately". Came team eight's respective replies.
"I see" Sakura said with a sigh.
"Lost Naruto eh? Well we kinda lost Kurenai-sensei a while ago, have you seen her? Kiba said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Huh? Uh…ya I did actually she went looking for this fox not long ago. What happened?"
"It went like this... Kiba started.

"Wh-whats wrong sensei" Hinata asked.
Kurenai looked up from the circle she was making with a stick "Hinata whats so different between me and the other genin sensei's? Kurenai asked her timid pupil.
"Um…the others are all men." Came Hinata's reply
"and they all have a signature look too." Kiba put his two cents in.
"and you don't have a ringthat makes noise when you blow into them like they do. Shino stated matter of factly as if grown men with those noise rings wasn't at all funny.
"You're the only one that-
Kurenai's eyes welled up with tears. "Why are you all picking on me all of a sudden?" Kurenai shouted.
"Um…you asked-"
"I know what it is! Kurenai exclaimed and pointed at the three genin."It's because I don't have a Big coat like you three do, isn't it? Well it's not my fault! I don't like coats! And you shouldn't pick on me because of it! Kurenai shouted before running off leaving her team speechless.
What just happened?...Hey...Hey you guys! We do allhave big coats! Kiba managed to point out.
"Yes Kiba we do!" Shino stated trying not to make Kiba sound dumb.

And I thought Kakashi sensei was a weird one. She is totally bipolar Sakura thought to her selves"
"Hah! We don't have the weirdest sensei ever". Hellz yeah!Inner Sakura cheered.
Sakura began to think about the other sensei's. Well Lee's sensei had to be THE weirdest of them all and Ino's sensei had to be the most normal. Aside from a smoking habit he seemed the most normal.
"Sakura!" a booming voice snapped Sakura out of her thoughts
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
I think that'll do for the moment. What you thought I would really kill Naruto like that? HaH! I wouldn't do that…unless I would but I don't think I will.
