Title: The Monsters Next Door
Summary: A high school fiction. FemNaru. Konoha is a village full of pretty weird people, but who is this secretive family next door? Could they be criminals? Can Kiba and Naru find out before it's too late?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. This is somewhat based on a story I read.
Chapter 2: A Sticky Problem
"Gaahhh!" Kiba screamed.
Naru jumped back, ready to punch a monster in the chin. Instead, she stumbled over Akamaru and fell onto a bush full of prickly branches.
"Growl…" Akamaru was not happy that Naru step on his poor tail.
A familiar face leaned over Naru and smiled shyly. Her purplish hair was dangling on her eyes. "Um…w…what are you doing in the bushes, Naru?"
Kiba grabbed the shy girl's arm and laughed. "Geez, Hinata, give us a heart attack, why don't cha. We thought you were one of my new neighbors."
Hinata and Kiba had been friends since Naru could remember. Naru had met Kiba through Hinata. That was bad news for Hinata because she had to see the two of them playing pranks and being class troublemakers. Her father did not want her to be associated with them, but she decided that her friends were worth it.
"Help me up," Naru sputtered. "I think this is a thorn bush."
Kiba rubbed his chin and acted like he was thinking very hard. This funny pose made Hinata giggle a little. "I'll make you a deal. Let's get away from here before any of my new neighbors see us. We will be in enough trouble as it is."
Naru took a deep breath. She did not want to go yet, not until she finds some answers. She was just nosy by nature, and there was no stopping her once she started on something.
"I'll make you a deal," Naru said. "You help me out and I won't beat you up."
Kiba laughed. "Naru, you might scare all the wimpy kids at school, but I know you're not as tough as you sound."
"Arf!"
"See, Akamaru even agrees with me!"
"Oh yeah? Just wait until I get out of this bush. I'll show you how tough I am." Naru kicked and wiggled until she was free of the sticky bush. The minute Naru stood up she lost her balance and fell back down.
"Um…are you all right?..." Hinata sputtered out. "What were you two doing out here anyways?"
"Eh-heh, heh," Naru had the decency to blush before she continued speaking. "Kiba has some new neighbors. I was wondering who they were, so we decided to check them out –"
"You mean that you wanted to spy on them," Kiba interrupted. "Naru, you are such a baka."
"Why you little! I'll beat you up. You just wait and watch me do it." Naru was getting angrier by the second.
Naru was about to beat Kiba up while Hinata was giggling. Suddenly a growling voice shot out from nowhere.
"Perhaps I could be of help," said a strange voice with an accent. "You don't belong here anyways."

A/N: Who was it that just spoke? Can it be another of their friends?
