A Bunny's Fox

-Chapter 2-

-Last Time-

*Poof*

And with that the man was gone as quickly as he came, leaving behind to cherry faced blondes that looked ready to explode with embarrassment at any moment.

*Poof*

"Oh, and don't forget to use protection."

*Poof*

-And Now-

It was a lovely morning in Konoha, the sun was shining brightly in a cloudless sky and a pleasant breeze gently blew through the village. The people were smiling, cheerfully greeting each-other as they went about their days getting whatever business they needed done. And yet, despite such a warm and welcoming environment, there were still some who just couldn't enjoy it for one reason or another.

'Ugh, can't believe I'm actually doing this.' One such individual was Sakura Haruno, a young teen girl with vibrant pink hair and a member of team seven alongside Naruto and her crush Sasuke. Her lips were curled into a small frown as she made her way down the street until she reached the former's modest apartment building.

The interior was much like most apartment complexes, plain and efficiently designed, with simple wooden floors and bare walls aside from the doors that led to the apartments themselves. Ignoring the first ones as she walked along the hallway towards a staircase, Sakura's grumpy expression turned to one of curiosity.

'I wonder what Naruto got himself caught up in this time?' She had been curious about that since Naruto didn't show up for training at the usual time nearly two hours beforehand. Initially she had dismissed it as him just sleeping in again because he spent all night self-training, something that had happened on more than one occasion and reminded herself to scold him about it later.

That idea was promptly tossed out the window though once their sensei Kakashi had finally arrived two hours late as usual without a half asleep pajama clad Naruto in tow. Instead, the cycloptic jonin simply told them that something had 'come up' for the blonde last night and that his tardiness was excused because of it. If that wasn't odd enough though, there was the way that Kakashi seemed… proud about whatever it was that happened to Naruto.

Since Naruto wasn't around to complete team Seven, Kakashi simply dismissed her and Sasuke as well before disappearing to who knows where. And of course as soon as that happened, Sasuke vanished, saying something about training by himself when she tried asking him to hang out with her.

So, with nothing else to do today and a nagging curiosity that needed satiated, Sakura decided to go check on what exactly happened to her wayward teammate.

Speaking of…

"Alright room three-o-six, this should be it." The pinkette muttered to herself as she stopped in front of a door and started rapping her knuckles against it.

…

…

Frowning when she didn't get any answer, Sakura knocked again, and then again much louder when she still didn't get any response.

'Maybe he's not home?' She thought, knocking one last time just to be sure. 'But then where else would he-'

"Alright! I'm coming! I'm coming! Hang on a second would ya?" The pinkette was broken out of her thoughts when a tired and annoyed sounding voice shouted out from the other side of the door.

'Uh… that was not Naruto,' Sakura thought to herself in confusion as the voice had sounded far to feminine to belong to her teammate. 'Oh crap, is this the wrong apartment? I could of sworn he said 306… or wait, maybe was it 207? Gah! Never thought I'd actually regret not listening to Naruto more.'

Before the girl could continue to berate herself further, her attention was brought back to reality when she noticed the door opening. "Can I help you?"

Deciding to just apologize to whoever she bothered and move on, Sakura opened her mouth to explain as she looked up… Only for her brain to shut down when she saw an anthropomorphic bunny lady standing on the other side of the door.

She was dressed in naught but a long white t-shirt with the Konoha leaf emblazoned across the chest which hung loosely around her slim body and a pair of black boxers with little ramen bowl designs. Shaking her head to get her ears out of her face as she stared at the young genin with a tired gaze, a puzzled and annoyed look on her face before her eyes lit up in recognition.

"Oh, morning Sakura, should have known it was you," She said with a giggle, baffling the pinkette. However, before she could ask (Read demand) to know how this bunny girl knew her name, said rabbit leaned her head back into the apartment and shouted. "Wake up Naruto, it's for you!"

"Huh? Whozit?" The familiar voice of her teammate called back blearily, sounding barely awake and ready to pass out again at any time.

"It's Sakura."

"Oh, well that's-wait… what!?" Now he sounded awake. Some distant shuffling was before he spoke again, this time sounding much closer. "Are you serious Lola?"

"See for yourself." 'Lola' said, stepping aside so that Sakura could see Naruto peeking out of another room, dressed almost exactly like Lola only his boxers were green with pink hearts. As soon as their eyes met, the blonde froze like a deer caught in the headlights, his eyes going wide and jaw dropping as time seemed to stop for a moment.

"Sakura-chan?!" He cried out in surprise once the initial surprise wore off. "What-what are you doing here?"

Snapping out of her own daze at the whiskered boy's words, Sakura blinked a few times as her brain struggled to get working again. It didn't help that no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't help but stare at Lola leaning against the doorway with an amused smirk. "I… um… well, you didn't show up for the team meeting so-"

"Oh shit! I totally forgot about training today!" Naruto exclaimed before darting back into his room as the sound of frantic searching and more than a few choice swears filled the air. "Crap! Crap! Crap! Where the hell are my pants?!"

"Probably still in the dryer!" Lola called over her shoulder before giggling when her fellow blonde barreled out of the bedroom and towards said dryer. A few seconds later he came running back, this time with a heap of clothes haphazardly tucked under his arm.

On the way back to the bedroom though, Naruto suddenly stopped mid step and stared at the pair at the doorway, specifically at Lola. Then, before either girl could react, the whiskered teen was suddenly at the rabbit girl's side and scooped her off her feet with his free arm.

"What are you doing up? You need to stay off your feet or you'll make your ankle worse." He stated with a stern look while carrying her over to the couch and gently setting her down, making sure to keep her wrapped ankle elevated.

"Oh would you relax, it's just a little sprain," Lola said with an eyeroll as she tried to get up, only for Naruto to push her back down. "You know I'm just gonna get up once you leave, right?"

"Oh really?" Naruto asked with a smirk while holding his hands up and putting them together in a cross shape, causing a clone to appear in a puff of smoke. "And how about now?"

Staring at the newly created doppelganger, the cartoon bunny blinked a few times incredulously before palming her face and grumbling sourly under her breath. "I can't believe I forgot you could do that."

"Yep, so much for knowing everything about me, huh?" The original asked rhetorically, tossing Lola her own clothes as he headed back to the bedroom to get dressed. "Don't worry, we'll go see a doctor to get you patched up right after I talk to Kakashi-sensei and explain what's going on."

"Why don't you just send a clone to talk to him while we go straight to the doctor then?" Lola shot back as she slipped back into her uniform, smirking smugly when all the noise coming from Naruto's room came to an abrupt stop. That or it was because of how Naruto's clone turned into a blushing mess when he noticed her getting changed right in front of him.

Not even five seconds later there was the telltale poofing sound of another clone being made which promptly rushed out of the apartment, idly grabbing and pulling along a still stunned Sakura on the way by. The original walked out more casually about a minute after that, fully dressed in his usual orange and blue jumpsuit.

Dispelling his first clone by smacking it across the head, Naruto turned around while crouching so his back faced the injured bunny girl. "Hop on… erm, pun not intended."

"No worries, it wouldn't be the worst rabbit joke I've heard anyway," Lola waved off the apology as she grabbed Naruto's shoulders and pulled herself up onto his back while he hooked his arms under her legs. Wrapping one of her own arms around her fellow blond's neck for support as he stood, the toon rested her chin in the palm of her free hand as she sighed in exasperation. "You wouldn't believe how many dumb bunny quips I heard after my debut and don't even get me started on the dirty jokes."

"Dirty jokes? I thought you said you were made in a cartoon for kids." Naruto said with a raised brow, getting Lola to nod while making a 'so-so' motion with her hand.

"I was, but the writers like to slip in some adult humor on the sly so parents can enjoy our show along with their kids," She explained. "But I was talking more about the fanbase which can be more than a little overzealous at times."

"What's that supposed to mean?" The whiskered blonde asked with a raised brow, which only rose higher when he felt the tan-furred rabbit shiver for a moment in his grasp as she made a face.

"Let's just say some people REALLY like the idea of an animated bunny girl with an attitude and leave it at that, okay?"

"If you say so." He didn't really get what she meant but Naruto decided to save himself the headache that'd no doubt follow and let the subject drop. He just made his way out of his apartment without another word, although he opted to jump out the window instead of using the door.

Landing on the rooftop of the building across from his own, the orange clad teen took only a moment to get his bearing before jumping again. He leapt like a frog from one roof to the next, navigating his way across the village with practiced ease.

Meanwhile, Lola had a look of pure delight on her face as her head swiveled around every which way. Her gaze jumped all over from people to buildings to major landmarks, never staying focused on one space for very long.

'I almost can't believe I'm actually here!' The bunny girl thought giddily, practically vibrating with excitement and barely holding in the fangirlish squeal that wanted to erupt from her lips. 'There's the Academy, and that's the hotspring where Jiraiya teaches Naruto water walking later! Oh, I can even see the Hyuga Compound from here!'

"Uh, Lola, are your eyes supposed to do that?" A worried Naruto asked after he looked over his shoulder to see his passenger's eyes had literally changed into glowing sparkles. However they just as quickly turned back to normal when the bunny girl was snapped out of her excited daze, blinking several times in confusion as her brain tried to catch up to reality.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Nevermind, I got my answer already," The blonde muttered with a shake of his head before grinning as he jumped down to street level right in front of a large building with the kanji for 'Medicine' above the doorway. "Here we are, Konoha Hospital, the best place for anyone to go for all your medical needs."

"Does that include cartoon bunnies?" Lola asked half-jokingly, admittedly feeling more than a little nervous once she looked around and saw all the looks she was getting. More than a few people who were either going to or coming from the hospital had stopped to stare at her.

"What is that thing?"

"Some kind of summon I think."

"Whoa, she looks so adorable!"

"Never seen one like that before."

"Maybe it's one of the snake's pet projects?"

"Maybe it's some kind of bloodline limit."

"Ugh, its hanging out with him…"

"Hehe, now that's a rabbit, I wonder how'd it'd taste in a stew."

The toon rabbit's ears twitched as she tried to tune out everyone's gossiping, especially that one from an Akimichi lady who was licking her lips. Their whispers however did further drive in the point that the hospital staff may be a little less than welcoming.

"Probably, but we won't know until we check," Naruto said with a shrug while casually strutting past the onlookers, not bothered at all by their stares and mutterings. "The worst they can do is say they can't help, right?"

Almost as soon as those words left Naruto's mouth a lady with purple hair dressed in all black and wearing a porcelain mask suddenly appeared in front of the of blondes.

"Naruto Uzumaki, you and your… companion are to come with us, the Hokage wishes to speak with both of you immediately." She stated firmly as she stepped up to the duo with her arms crossed.

Deadpanning, Lola just couldn't resist the urge to facepalm before giving her fellow blonde a dry look as he chuckled sheepishly. "You were saying?"

-Hokage's Office, Twenty Minutes Later-

"…And that's how we ended up here Jiji," Naruto stated as he and Lola sat in chairs in a large yet homely looking office, opposite of an elderly man in formal robes. As he spoke, the whiskered blonde jabbed a thumb over his shoulder to the ANBU that had brought them, now standing quietly in the corner. "I still say it was a little overkill sending Cat after us."

Jiji, otherwise known as Hiruzen Sarutobi the third Hokage, hummed thoughtfully while steepling his fingers together. He didn't say anything though as his gaze bored into the pair, specifically Lola, with a calm calculating look as he took in the whiskered teen's tale.

'Jeez, it feels like he's staring straight into my soul.' The toon bunny thought with a shiver, barely resisting the urge to cover herself from how exposed she felt under the elderly leader's scrutiny. Yet as scared as he made her feel, there was an underlying feeling of curiosity and even kindness that belied his apparent coldness. He wasn't being cruel but simply testing her, judging her resolve, her actions, and her intentions to see if she was lying or not, all without uttering a single word.

Regardless of his intentions, it was a good thing her cartoonish physiology wasn't working now otherwise the whole room would have been flooded from how hard she was sweating, literally.

"That is quite the intriguing story," He finally said after a solid minute of silence, sitting up in his seat as he pulled out a long wooden pipe and filled it with fresh tobacco. Once he was done, the nicotine rich leaves seemed to ignite on their own as he brought the bit to his lips and took a long draw, before blowing out a perfect ring of smoke that lazily rose to the ceiling. "Certainly one of the most… unique ones I've heard over the years to say the least."

"You don't have to sugar coat it, I know that the whole thing sounds completely crazy." Lola stated dryly.

"You did just admit to being loony."

"Oh for god's sake…" Pinching the bridge of her nose while taking a few deep breaths, and ignoring the not so stifled snicker from her fellow blond, the bunny girl took a moment to collect her thoughts before speaking again. At the same time, she unconsciously reached behind her back and started fishing around at thin air much to everyone else's confusion. "Look, believe me or not it's the truth. If I could I'd just use the magic satchel trick to pull out a copy of the manga for you to see but-ow!"

Lola cut herself off midsentence as she felt a sudden sharp sting jump up her injured hand when something pressed right up against the cut, causing her to instinctively wrench the limb up and shake it with a hiss. However, she almost immediately froze when her eyes caught sight of a white book resting in her grasp. The cover had none other than Naruto himself emblazoned across it, showing the whiskered teen standing atop two toads heads with a scroll in his mouth and two giant paint brushes covered in kunai and shuriken strapped to his back.

Staring at the manga in surprise, it took almost a solid minute for the bunny girl's brain to catch up to what she had just done. Once it did though, she quickly tossed the book onto the Hokage's desk and reached behind herself again before pulling out yet another book from thin air.

It was similar to the first one, however the cover instead had Naruto with his entire team all posing together atop of a red toad. His teammate Sasuke to one side and Sakura on the other while Kakashi stood behind all three of them facing away amongst a wall of blue flames.

"Huh, guess the satchel still works after all…" Lola muttered to herself while curiously flicking the book to random pages reveal the detailed illustrations within. Focusing back on Hiruzen, she gently set the second book down next to the first one and pushed both towards the elderly man. "Is this enough proof for you?"

Without saying a word, Hiruzen took a long draw from his pipe while grabbing both books and flipping them open, reading through both of them at the same time. However, after just a few pages the look of idly curiosity turned to shock and then complete seriousness before he even got halfway through.

"Alright then," Naruto and Lola jumped when Hiruzen suddenly snapped the books shut before tucking them away in a drawer of his desk. Knitting his fingers together, the elderly leader rested his chin atop them as he stared at the bunny girl intensely, idly blowing out a trio of smoke rings that slowly floated up to the ceiling. "Let's say that I might believe you, what now?"

"I have no idea to be honest," Lola admitted with a shrug, giggling nervously as she scratched the back of neck. "I've never really been in a situation like this before… not canonically anyway. Crossover adventures were always Bugs and Daffy's thing, and even then the Naruto series is owned by a completely different studio so me being here doesn't make any sense at all. Well outside of fa-"

"Okay that's enough," Naruto abruptly cut in as he hopped up to his feet before whirling around and scooping Lola up into his arms. "She told you her story, you believe her, time to go."

While the cartoon girl was stunned into silence at her fellow blonde's unexpected outburst and actions, Hiruzen seemed more amused than surprised. "You have somewhere else to be Naruto?"

"Yeah, the hospital, if you haven't noticed Jiji Lola-chan is kind of hurt," The whiskered teen stated bluntly, gesturing to the various bandages littered across said rabbit's body. "And while I'd like to think I did a good job patching her up, it'd probably be best if an actual doctor made sure she's okay."

"Hmm, a fair point indeed," Hiruzen conceded, getting Naruto to grin before he turned to leave, "However…" only to stop mid-step when that one word reached his ears.

"Oh come on Jiji, what now?" He grumbled as he whirled back around to face the old man with an exasperated look.

"I was just going to say that perhaps the hospital may not be the right place for your friend to get proper medical treatment."

"Then where the hell am I supposed to take her?" Naruto demanded with a raised brow, Lola mirroring him as they both gave the Kage confused looks. And why did Lola suddenly have a bad feeling in her gut?

-Twenty More Minutes Later-

"I should have known…" The deadpan on Lola's face could not get any deeper as she found herself sitting on an examination table. The reason for her foul mood could be summed up by the sign that hung just above the doorway.

[Inuzuka Veterinary Clinic]

Yes, the Hokage's brilliant suggestion was to take her not to a doctor but a vet.

His reasoning was that she was a rabbit not a human so it'd be better if she saw a doctor more experienced with animal anatomy. And as much as she loathed to admit it, the man had a good point, she really doubted that a normal doctor was well versed in anthropomorphic rabbit biology. In fact she wouldn't have been surprised if the doctors had just sent her here as well if she and Naruto had made it to the hospital in the first place.

That didn't make being brought here like someone's pet any less humiliating though.

Sitting in a chair next to the table, Naruto patted the upset bunny girl on the shoulder in an awkward but appreciated attempt of comfort as they waited for the vet to see them.

"Sorry for the wait, some of the ninken really did not want their vaccinations this year," Speak of the devil, a young woman with brown hair done up in a ponytail and two red fang like tattoos on her cheeks stepped in through the doorway. "I'm Hana, what can I help… you with… wow."

"Yeah, I know, not exactly your run of the mill patient." Lola couldn't help the small amount of snark that slipped into her voice when she spoke. She knew it was petty but her foul mood spoke for her and she was REALLY getting tired of having to re-explain herself every five minutes.

Fortunately Hana was too caught up in her surprise to notice the bitterness, although she did snap back to her senses at the bunny girl's words. "Ah, sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to stare. I've just never seen a summon like yourself before."

"It's fine, I'm used to it," Lola muttered as she waved off the apology, not even bothering to correct the misconception of her being a summon. "Now if you'd please, I'd like to just get this over with already."

"Of course, of course, we'll need to start with a full physical though so I can get a general idea of how everything works for you considering your… uniqueness," The vet said, trying to be as polite as she could while grabbing a small metal device from a nearby stand. "We'll start with taking your temp."

"That had better be an oral thermometer."
