The Shadow And The Dog (COMPLETE)

Chapter 6

                 ~Skipping to where Team 3 returns back to the Hidden Leaf village because this author is too lazy to write about what happened ~

Akaruikage POV

And I thought our last mission would be a breeze, it was nothing but a troublesome pain. That Tarana lady lied about her mission being a C-rank because she doesn't have a lot of money to call it a B-rank. At the end I wanted to call it a suicidal mission making us go against Akuma. One of the a rouge ninjas that's placed on the top of the bingo books, apparently the one that killed a whole empire in one night.

Yeah, that Akuma. We went against him and almost lost a dark haired Choniko when that beast decided to throw him up and tossed him off the high unfinished buildings. But of course, everything went well after we defeated him and the mansion was done by the end of that week.

Now I just wanna sleep, that's all.

I threw my traveling bag on the floor carelessly once I entered my domain. My head was already on my pillow before I can faulted what's happening around me. I wrapped myself in my covers like a burrito feeling the sensation of a peaceful sleep falling over me.

"Shikamaru! Akaruikage! Get your lazy butts up, you have company" Hearing  yelling from the front of the house

I sighed to myself guessing on who could be here waking me up to the aggravating point of killing them. I rolled out of bed and dragged my feet out my dark room seeing my pineapple haired sibling just getting out of his room doing the same thing. He looked in my direction with a lazy smile; I could tell he's too tired to make a full one. He outstretched his arm out to me walking faster towards him going into his embrace missing the brotherly love. We parted away from the hug and walked to the front door to see a very pissed off mother who was repeatedly tapping her foot while crossing her arms over her chest and Ino, Kiba, Choji, and Naruto behind her at the door looking guilty.

"You can't be having people waiting for you two to walk only fifteen and a half steps just to get to the door, that's rude!" I scratched the back on my neck and apologized to my mother while Shika only sweat dropped at her loudness.

Kiba POV

"So why did y'all wake me up again?"
Shikamaru threw his hands in his pockets.

Ino; who was leading the group, smiled saying "We thought that we could walk around the village for a while "

Akarui was walking beside me as we were the anchor of the small group. After Ino's words she stopped immediately making everybody else look at her with a questionable look.

"You mean to tell me that you woke me up when I just came from a mission to say that all were doing is walking ......." Akarui fussed.

"Technically Ino dragged us all here so she could spy on Uchiha" I retorted making everyone but Ino laugh.

"N-No.."

We continued to walk until we saw the white haired, Kakashi Sensei at Ichiraku Ramen, before anyone else could say anything Naruto already was seated down; might as well I haven't eaten all day. Choji, Akarui, Shika, Ino and I walked over to the small noodle shop sitting at the bar telling him our orders and talking among ourselves telling each other about our first missions we had.

''You didn't have to yell at Shino for that Kiba" Akarui laughed out at my story about our previous mission.

"He wouldn't stop talking about everything in a buggy way" I explained giving Akamaru a strip of noodles.

"Asuma Sensei said that he has a surprise for us tomorrow guys!" Ino chirped on the other end of the bar.

"Why doesn't he just give it to us now?" Shikamaru questioned.

"I hope its food!"

Ino face palmed and yelled at the red head" Choji, not everything is about food!"

"It could too Ino, if we lived on a island made out of food or candy could be possible. How bout it Choji wanna hit the high sea's and look for it?" Choji fist bumped Akarui on her imaginary actions.

The white haired girl who sat beside me kept feeding my pal some of her dish as he sat on her lap making my comrade bark in happiness. Naruto and Choji were doing a ramen eating contest almost on their tenth bowl already, I put my bet on Choji might win this. Kakashi been left saying that he had to go to the Hokage and said a fair well to all of us poofing off in a cloud of smoke.

"Ino what are you doing now?" Shikamaru asked looking at her questionably.

"Sasuke could see me from every angle now if he comes around"; curling her long bang with her finger.

"Ummm where's Naruto?" Akaruikage looked around searching for the blonde.

"That's strange he was just here a second ago" I added

"He said he had to barf "Choji's mouth was full of food pointing in the direction to a empty dirt pathway surrounded by fences on both sides.

''Troublesome Naruto" The two Nara siblings said in unison; kinda cool and creepy.

I saw that my small friend was scooting out of her seat leaving a clean bowl. She left some change on the table scratching Akamaru behind the ear before placing him in my arms mumbling something about pain.

Before I could say anything her brother asked where was she going in his usual lazy tone of voice with a pinch of slight concern in it, she said that she was going to check on Naruto.

I wanted to go with her but she only waved it off to say it would only take a minute. I saw Hinata and Shino come behind her quickly greeting her first and walked over to me letting the black hooded female walk away.

"H-hi Kib-ba" Hinata stuttered as per usual.

I waved at Hinata and Akamaru barked saying hello and I asked what was going on. It's not usual for them to come looking for me together unless we're being called for a mission. Shino answered my question letting me know we have to see Kurenai Sensei immediately. I paid for my lunch to the old man and said my goodbyes to the others following my team.
