In Konoha

"Hey, Kiba! Akamaru!" Sakura called to her long time friend from down the street. Said teen stopped to wait for her to catch up with Akamaru at his side. With a smile, the rosette dashed forward, absentmindedly dodging through the crowd. "Long time no see" she greeted as soon as she was two arms length from the brown haired dog lover.

Naruto, Kakashi-sama, Sasuke and herself had returned from the Pokemon World three weeks ago at which time Kiba had been gone on a mission with his team. And as fate would have it, the whole expirence in the other world was no more than three days. Yet she felt like it had been at least a month with how much had happened.

All four shinobi had agreed when questioned not to say anything of being in another world, she still had yet to figure out if the whole thing was an elaborate dream or not. But it couldn't have been, because Sasuke was back without much consequence, only a few weeks probation. But it wasn't ever going to see any of the six teens again, so it didn't matter.

Still…she would have liked to get to know Kouichi better….and see what he looked like. Also, there was that developing rivalry between Kouji and Sasuke, she wouldn't have minded being a spectator because there would be a good chance of Sasuke being put in his place.

Speaking of Sasuke…she'd have to tell him sooner or later since he's been pressing the subject of his elder brother. Damn, she should have never looked away and acted suspicious.

"No kidding, how have you been?: Kiba responded.

Sakura laughed at the irony of having that brief disruption – seeing as she didn't know what else to call it – in her life not so long ago, "Overwhelmed in my ever chaotic life" that seemed to sum it up "And yourself? How did the mission go?"

"The mission was a success, it wasn't easy though. I was actually just out for a stroll." Akamaru gave a bark. One of agreement, Sakura assumed.

Sakura laughed merrily once more. "That's good, mind if I join you?" she placed her still-gloved hand on Akamaru's back to pet him. The not-so-small-anymore dog seemed to grin as he nudged her in encouragement to keep her actions up. The kunoichi snorted but continued to pet the overgrown pup anyways.

"No and doesn't look like Akamaru does either, do you boy?" Akamaru barked

So the three continued on gradually making their way out of the market place and past the busy streets into the more remote clearings of Konoha.

In Shinjuku

Kouichi sneezed abruptly as he walked beside his slightly younger twin.

Said twin swiveled his head to him, "You're not catching a cold are you?"

Kouichi shrugged, "Dunno. I hope not."

Suddenly Eri – Kouji's dog – barked and charged forward. He'd seen a squirrel Oh dear. In his mad dash he'd swept his owner off his feet and dragged him along. Kouichi sighed and chuckled at the same time as he chased after his beloved brother of fourteen.

Imagine their surprise when the squirrel seemed to yell the word 'help' as it disappeared, then the three found themselves in a grassy, tree surrounding clearing where the intersection on the road should have been.

I hope this makes up for the last chapter being so incredibly short. And this is offically the final chapter of this story. But as you can see I'm no where near done with this idea.
