Snowflake: Helloo! This my first attempt at fan fiction.. With a plot no one has used yet! Oh wait, someone is using it.. This my version! D:

Akatsuki Wolves!

Chapter 1. Switched order

Sakura ogled at the magazine. "Mou, such cuties!" squeals the pinkette.

Her friend Ino was there too, "Quite swarming over the magazine. There just dogs, that you'll never have."

"Don't say that! I'm sure after my rent is paid and I can convince the land lord to let me have one it would be a cinch."

"Sure.. Just recall what happened to Naruto when he tried to sneak a python into his complex."

"I see.." Sakura replies, staring up at the sky. "That land lady sure did give him a beating for hiding it in the cookie jar."

Ino slapped down the magazine and stretched. "Well, I should be going now." she began, straightening up and jumped off the couch onto the floor. "See you later forehead."

"I'll walk you to the door."

Sakura got up and followed Ino towards the front area. The pinkette opened her front door and waved the Yamanaka heir off then closed the door. Sakura signed deeply and crossed the wooden floor back into the living room. She threw her self back into the sofa and laid her head on the arm rest.

"Mm, it's not fair.. I really want a dog and can't have one due to land lord issues." signed the kunoichi.

'Who gives a hoot! Just order one anyway.'

'There not a White Castle cheese burger. These are live animals.'

'Which bite when provoked!'

'I won't provoke them..'

'Besides, your evil land lord won't let you have one anyways.'

'Thank a lot..'

'Your welcome!' grins inner-chan.

Sakura stuffs inner in a box then throws her into the back of her mind forever. The kunoichi rolls over on her stomach and begins to sleep her troubles away for a couple seconds only to be rudely interrupted by a unfamiliar source of chakra standing outside her house.

"I'm coming, I'm coming.." grumbles Sakura. She gets off the couch and walks over to the door and opens it. "May I help you?"

The person did not answer and swept past her into the house. Sakura blinks for a few seconds and closes the door behind her. Her steps increased as she stomped down the wood into another room. Settled over near the wall was a figure hunched over reading one of her magazines.

"Excuse me? First you broke into my house, and now your reading one of my magazines."

It drops the magazine, and slowly turns facing her. "Y-you.. are.. lacking in the dog breed department." states the stranger.

Sakura's eyes show annoyance. "You seem to lack in structure of brain cells. Leave before I throw you out across Konoha." threatened the pinkette.

"I have a dog for you.."

"What?"

"Do you want it or not?"

"Not really.. I don't have any background information on your breeding status."

"I work for the Inuzuka pound. You can.. trust me."

Sakura brightened up at the mention of a friend's clan. "You really mean it? Well, I would need to ask my land lord first before doing anything.."

"Fine by me. I'll be back in a few days."

"How would I know it's you?"

"Wait for a wolf whistle."

"Alright.. nice meeting you."

The odd figure salutes her and shuffles across the floor board out of her sight. Sakura uses her ears to listen in on the person as he twisted the knob and left out the door. Once her left, Sakura started to jumping for joy. At last she's getting her very own dog!

Speaking of dogs, which breed should she get? That could be arranged after she figures out how big the house is.. and speaking to the land lord. Ugh, this isn't going to be , the pinkette was happy regardless. Sakura ran up the steps so she could brush her teeth and go to bed. Preparations are to be made tomorrow morning..

. . .

Sakura stood at the other side of her housing complex. Right behind those doors was the worse person to be taxing your living conditions; Miss Chisuke. Sakura did not favor Miss Chisuke due to her being grumpy during every season and even while suffering menopause.

She did not know how to have fun, like during your teenage years. Which causes her to envy Sakura's happy-go-lucky attitude. If looks could tell, she probably hated the pinkette's well rounded face and flawless skin due to hers being old and flabby like a prune. Speaking of prunes, a big one stood on the top shelf.

"What do you want? Late on the rent again?" she asked, furthering the questions.

Sakura stepped over her boundaries, "No, I have the rent money right here. I just wanted to ask you something.."

"Go ahead. I am waiting." Miss Chisuke allows, a glistening gleam claiming the rim of her glasses.

"Well, I would like to own a dog and.."

The brunette interrupted her. "A dog? Why would you want a dog?"

"Since I live by my self, I would like a buddy to hang out with. Possibly go to the park and exercise and stuff."

"Hmm.. your not an Inuzuka.. Only they are allowed to have nin-dogs."

"That's not true. Kakashi-sensei has a whole bunch of them as summons."

"Indeed, which takes up a lot of work to look after them."

"I could do that.. But if the dog are too much trouble, I can ask my friends to help me with it."

Miss Chisuke signed deeply. She knew it that at some point tenants who live in her house would want a pet of their own. Yet, there would be a lot of consequences if they don't take care of it correctly. She should know, since they took her Yorkie away when she was a little girl.

"Oh Shibuya.. I miss you so!" croaked out the old lady.

Sakura moved back slowly. "I think I'll be going now..." mumbled the pinkette.

'Wait! I'll let you have a dog!" announced the land lord, "But just one.. I don't want to hear any racket coming from it."

"I'll try to keep him quiet."

"Make sure you show him to me when I stop by for next month's check."

"Yes ma'am."

"Good. Now get out of my sight!"

"Wait, you didn't take the rent money yet."

Miss Chisuke remained where she was standing and stole the paper. "I don't understand how you go on missions and still attend to people's needs without a steady pay check."

"I do get a steep amount. Most of it goes to my savings account so I could.."

"Build another room? Add a garage? Get a swimming pool? Leave? Yeah, there's a lot of options with that salary of yours."

"I'm not going to leave.. you need my rent money to pay your mortgage."

"W-who told you that?"

"There must be a reason why this place is so big."

"Exactly! Now leave before I change my mind!" hissed the land lady.

Sakura retreated down the steps and left off her land lord's property onto her own for the time being. She parked her butt on the stoop and put her head on her palms as she lazily stared out into the distance. After struggling without a pet's companionship for her empty home, it is to be filled.

-Somewhere else..-

"Quite shaking and get in the damn box!"

A small canine can be seen shivering in the corner of it's cage. His evil owner seemed to be threatening him again about something he just can't understand. While he tried to think over what was happening, the evil figure started talking and rambling about incorrect things.

'I'm finally going to get rid of you and your annoying family."

it picked up it's head and started to growl. The person only smirked.

"Oh.. I forgot. That's not your family."

The canine threw it's head back and yawned, then went back to sleep. It's nap was cut short when the man cracked a whip agianst it's cage.

"I'm not through with you! There's a little girl wishing to have you."

It did not care, and closed it's eyes. The man rolled his and bent down to pick up a crate.

"Hopefully this will be able to hold you all."

At the sound of the create being opened, a mob of puppies ran over to the front of the cage. There was a yellow one trying to fight of the brown and red ones from licking the cage first. Slowly coming behind them was a black pup with red orbs. Over near the corner of the cage sat a pup with two shades of color coating it's body.

'They don't seem so upset..' thought the evil man. 'Well, maybe she would after figuring out something unique about them.'

. . .

-Over near Sakura-chan-

Sakura put down a few dog dishes on a carpet and stood up with her hands on her hips. "That should do it." smiled the pinkette.

"What should do it Sakura-chan?"

She turned her body over near the door. "Naruto-kun, done with your shift already?"

"It wasn't anything important. Just escorting an old man to the next village over."

"That's what we thought about Tazuna."

"Yeah..I can't believe that he named a bridge after me."

"We made history during those times.. Gazo is gone, and Haku is at peace next to Zabuza's grave."

"That's until that shark punk took his sword."

"We'll get it back some how, and then put it back where it right fully belongs."

Naruto nods in agreement and lies back on the sofa. "About those dishes, are you getting a dog?"

"Yes I am. Miss Chisuke allowed me to have one. I'm so happy.."

"Mm, what type of breed are you getting?"

"An Akita.. that's if the man has one."

"Man? What man?" Naruto repeated in suspicion, "I mean.. usually everyone goes to the Inuzuka pet shop for a dog. Mostly because they know their stuff."

"I know, but it's so expensive over there."

"He might do the same thing. When are you getting the dog?"

"In a few days.."

"Send me a messenger bird when you do."

"What for? Not like the man is going to fondle me or anything."

"You'll never know.." shrugged the blond. He removed him self from the sofa and left towards the door. "See you later Sakura-chan.."

Sakura remained setting, not bothering to escort Naruto outside. Perhaps he was right on the market for explaining that to her. They usually lie to you to make a quick buck. Yet, this is not the type of kunoichi to play over. For now, she will wait until her new puppy arrives.

What did you think? I wanted to make it realistic since there are some places they don't let you have one. Like my apartment.. -.-

Tell me what you think of it! I'll update when ever it's ready. ^^
