AN: Wow…a long time since I've done one of these. Enjoy.

Laughing, Naruto waved at his friends as they left the restaurant, having just stopped by to enjoy their time together before they all headed home after work. Sliding into his car, he smoothed his shirt down, buckled in, started his car and pulled out of the parking space, heading for the street. It wasn't long before he was pulling onto the highway, his radio on as he glanced at the clock on his dash board.

"So late," he moaned, surprised that they had stayed out for so long. Pulling onto the highway that would take him to his house, he glanced down at the gas needle and sighed, not wanting to stop but it looked as if he was going to have to do so. He didn't like stopping at the gas station that sat along the highway, especially so late at night and especially when it was so deserted. "Just…great. At least I don't have to leave my car," he muttered, pulling into the gas station as the attendant came out.

The guy was kinda creepy to Naruto, always wearing a jacket that came up around his face and round glasses that covered his eyes, giving him what normally would have been a mysterious look, but really came off as creepy so late at night. Rolling down his window, the blond handed over two 20's with a smile.

"Can you fill it up?" he asked, the creepy guy giving him a nod as covered eyes turned to the back seat. Naruto noticed that the name tag the guy wore said 'Shino'. Must be his name, he mused as Shino filled his tank. Once the guy had disappeared into the store, coming back out with his change, Naruto shifted at the suddenly agitated man.

"Can you come in?" Shino asked, Naruto giving him an odd look as he took his change through the crack in the window.

"Why?" he asked, Shino looking in the back and shifting on his feet, obviously agitated.

"Just come in, please," Shino replied. Naruto rolled his window up quickly, suddenly feeling very unsafe, and started the car.

"Thanks for filling my car up," Naruto said before roaring away, Shino running back to the store in his rear view mirror. Shuddering, the blond melted into his seat as the gas station disappeared from view. It wasn't long before a pair of headlights came up behind him, high beams flashing, making him rub at his eyes.

He got more and more nervous as the guy who was riding up his tail pipe flashed his headlights every so often, staying close to his car. Gripping the steering wheel, Naruto pulled off of the highway and headed towards downtown, where he knew there would be people.

And a police station.

The car behind him kept up with him, flashing the headlights more and more, the driver starting to make hand signals and wave at him, trying to get his attention. In full panic mode, he pulled into the parking lot that was attached to his apartment building, intent on running across the street to the police station. Opening the door, he noticed the guy in the car behind him jumping out and waving his hands. He had shaggy brown hair and long pointed nails, tattoos peeking out from under his work shirt

"Lock the car doors and turn your alarm on, man!" he called, skirting the car. Naruto did so as he ran for the police station, hearing the beep of his alarm turning on. "Call 911 or something! Seriously!"

Panting, Naruto ran into an officer that he knew, babbling his story to Officer Lee, who went up to the man who had followed Naruto from the highway to the parking lot, the full story coming out.

Naruto was beyond surprised when Lee called for backup, the four other officers arriving with guns drawn and pointing at his car. On their orders, he unlocked the car and turned off the alarm, Lee and his partner Sakura yanking out a man with long hair and sinister eyes out of the back of the car.

"My friend Shino called me. Since I run a restaurant down the road, it wasn't hard to find you and follow you to try to warn you man," the guy who had followed him said, scratching the back of his head. "Shino wanted to warn you but he didn't know how to do that without tipping the guy off. I'm Kiba Inuzuka. Sorry about scaring you, but when I flashed my lights, it made him duck down so you were safe enough until we got here."

"Thank you…really. Um…yeah, wow," Naruto breathed, suddenly losing his ability to stand. Kiba yelped and reached out to catch the blond, helping him sit down on the ground as the truth hit him. Later that night found them learning that the man in the backseat had been wielding a hatchet, a shape that Kiba hadn't been able to make out since it was so dark, but which made him glad he had done what he had done. They also found out that the guy had escaped from an institute that housed mentally ill people.

Naruto went back to the gas station the next day and hugged Shino in thanks for helping to save his life by calling his friend in a panic.
