Chapter 4

Sakura grinned as she walked to her rival's house. Sakura knocked on the door with much force…even though it was unneeded. The yellow door opened to reveal a very happy blonde. Sakura smirked, "Ino-pig." Ino smirked back, "Forehead-girl." Sakura lifted up Itachi so Ino could see him. Ino squeal in delight, "He's so cute! What's his name?"

Sakura grinned proudly, "Akako." Ino laughed, "When I said you needed to get friends I didn't mean a weasel." Sakura narrowed her eyes slightly, "But isn't he just so…perfect?" Ino inspected Itachi and lifted him up. Itachi to say the least was not pleased. He hissed when Ino's hands touched his silky smooth fur. Ino had only laughed half heartily, "Well, it's certain that he only likes you."

Sakura puffed out her chest slightly in pride, "Well…" Ino smiled goofily, "I know a pet shop around here and they might let Akako play with some of the other pets." Sakura immediately frowned, "I don't think that's…" Ino interrupted her, "Come on you hussy!" Sakura's frown deepened, "I really don't think…" Ino ignored her and pulled her by her arm while still holding on to a very pissed Itachi.

When the reached the pet shop Ino had spoken to a lady behind the counter and in a second Itachi was dropped into a cage with other weasels in it. Itachi glanced at Sakura with a pleading look. Sakura went to pick him up, but Ino held her arm back, "He has to learn social skills woman!" Sakura bit her lip nervously, "I don't want him to…" Ino interrupted her yet again, "Hush! Just wait and see if he makes any friends!"

Sakura played with her fingers and Ino rolled her eyes, "You look like Hinata-chan when you do that." Sakura stopped and looked at Itachi…surprisingly he was being cornered…Sakura snapped at Ino, "They're going to hurt him!" Ino laughed her off, "Weasels don't hurt other weasels just like that…" Sakura glanced at Itachi again and then all hell broke lose.

Itachi was hissing again in a challenging way. Making a big brown weasel with a white mark on its tail bite Itachi between the ears. Itachi had then pushed the weasel off of himself and then bit the brown one's neck. Sakura snatched Itachi out as fast as she could accidentally making Itachi slide down her shirt which made her scream in surprise…which made her fall into Ino which made her fall into a cage with hunting dogs.

The dogs had wasted no time and began to jump on Sakura in search for Itachi. Sakura had gotten Itachi out of her clothes and was standing on a table with the hounds circling it. Sakura held Itachi close to her chest and Itachi snuggled closer to her away from the dogs. Ino then started to scream, "Bad BAD DOGGIES! GET AWAY FROM THEM!"

A man who worked there came to assist them. He pulled the hounds by their collars making them jump back and bite him. He held out his hand in pain…it was bleeding and the bite marks where no joke. Those dogs wanted to get Itachi's blood. Sakura sent a heated glare towards Ino, "I told you a pet store was a bad idea!" Ino frowned and nodded, "Yeah. But when do I listen to you?" Sakura rolled her eyes and then snapped angrily at Ino, "Get those dogs away from me and Akako!"

Ino then began to panic slightly. Sakura impatiently stated, "Use your mind controlling…" Ino nodded her head and made the correct hand signs. Soon the dogs where back in their cages. Sakura hugged Itachi close to her, "Akako…you could have gotten badly hurt." Sakura pet Itachi on his head and healed the wound on his head too. Ino blushed in embarrassment, "I'm so sorry Sakura. I didn't know that Akako would get into so much trouble…I didn't think he would of gotten hurt. Normally those little weasels are the kindest little things in the world."

Sakura nodded, "It's fine. I'm going to go home and get ready for my mission tomorrow." Ino nodded, "Okay. I'll see you later then?" Ino had spoken guiltily, "I'm really sorry." Sakura nodded and began on her way home, "Whatever."
