EDIT: Okay, this story and the story following it in the next chapter are a couple of one-shots made for an idea suggestion challenge thing-a-ma-jig I did with a friend a while back. I decided to post these back on my page here since that thread went dead. Uh, if anyone has any more suggestion challenges for me, I'd be glad to hear them and post the results here. Please enjoy the madness!

Hello all! It's Aly-chan's turn! This idea was submitted by Shelby Babb. Thanks for contributing! And thanks to Katsune-chan for letting me write this one! -glomps- Yippee! I think this came out a little weird, but whatever. That's what makes it fun! ONWARD!

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto. Quit asking.

This had all started out so simply. He was just supposed to sneak into Sakura's house, steal her diary, and return to Ichiraku's to collect his 50 bucks from Kiba. Now it seemed that he himself would have to pay up…if he could get out of this cage, that is.

That's right. Uzumaki Naruto was caught in a cage. And, somehow, it wasn't Sakura who had caught him. He was in the city pound and stuck in the form of a little nine-tailed fox. Why didn't he just turn back, you wonder? HIS CAGE WAS TOO SMALL! Duh. Anyways, here he was, stuck in a cage when he was supposed to be stealing Sakura's diary. His only hope was to be adopted or to be let out of the cage for an examination, but an examination would also mean sedation. So, his only hope was adoption. He laid there, contemplating the issue ('cause Naruto ALWAYS contemplates) when Sakura walked in to look at all the animals up for adoption. Seeing his chance, Naruto put on the best puppy-dog eyes he could muster and whimpered to get Sakura's attention.

"Aww…he's adorable! I definitely want this one!" Sakura exclaimed, fortunately looking right at Naruto. She ran out, most likely to fill out papers, then came back to bring him home, cage and all.

Once they had arrived at Sakura's house, Sakura let Naruto out of the cage and went to the kitchen to get him some food. Astounded by his good luck, Naruto immediately ran off to look for Sakura's room. He found it easily enough and was surprised to find that the door was left ajar. 'A person can't possibly have this much good luck in one day,' he thought, completely forgetting the incident with the pound. 'I'll just find the diary quickly, an—hey! what's happening!'

"Naughty, naughty," Sakura scolded, picking the little fox up. "I guess I need to train you a little before I let you wonder around," she sighed as she put Naruto back in the cage. Just as she turned around to go back to the kitchen, she heard a loud crash behind her. She looked over her shoulder, fearing the worst—only to let her jaw drop in pure fangirl amazement.

"AHHHHHHHH!" she screeched. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, ITACHI IS IN MY HOUSE!" She ran to the phone to call all the fangirls in the village so that they could all witness this amazing event.

Itachi blinked in confusion before looking down at Naruto in the cage. He smirked evilly before picking up the cage and walking out the knocked-down front door. 'A person can't possibly have this much good luck in one day,' he thought. Then he saw the fangirls. 'I knew this was too good to be true…'

The fangirls attacked, Naruto escaped in the chaos, Sakura cried for her lost pet, and Itachi was forced to crawl back to the Akatsuki completely naked. The End.

Aly: Umm…yeah…that was fun…^_^'

Sasuke: -infamous Uchiha death glare-

Aly: What?

Sasuke: -still glaring-

Aly: What? You jealous that the fangirls went after Itachi instead of you?

Sasuke: -glares harder-

Aly: Geez, I know I let Naruto get caught by Itachi, but he DID escape.

Sasuke: -glare-

Aly: …

Sasuke: …

Aly: Ok, FINE! I stole your Naruto plushie! -gives it back- Happy now!

Sasuke: Hn. -walks off-

Aly: Wow, I'm surprised he didn't kill me for announcing that he has a plushie…-kunai whizzes by- SASUKE, YOU MISSED! Wait a minute…-looks at kunai- AHHHH! EXPLODING TAG! RUN AWAY! -runs away-

BOOM!
