I Can Has ROFL Nyao? Or, The ROTFLMAO of the Catgirl

[anowack]

"Easy, Naruto," said Shino calmly. "Kiba merely meant that it is because your squad consists of all the members of Team 7."The
other ninja nodded to themselves in understanding, as if Shino's vague
explanation suddenly made everything so spotlessly clear and
devastatingly obvious...well to everyone except the three lone members
of said team. Naruto along with Sasuke and Sakura wore blank faces of
confusion.
"What's wrong with our team?" they all chimed.
"N-Nothing's wrong with you...per se" responded Ino sheepishly, her expression almost pained.
"You see," Chouji continued, "we just mean about your jinx."
Sakura and Naruto blinked back while Sasuke raised a questioning eyebrow. "What jinx?" they echoed.
"Jeez,
you gotta be kidding me?" responded Kiba, partly astounded and
partially amused. "You honestly mean you haven't noticed it already?"
Kakashi's pupils shook their heads dumbly. "Every mission you guys have
ever been on has ended up a disaster!"
"Yes," agreed Neji. "They have all been fraught with unanticipated and dangerous complications."
The confused trio looked to each other and back at the Konoha ninja before them.
Kiba
slapped himself in the forehead, chuckling to himself. "You're kidding
me! Well let's see, there was that huge monster battle with those sand
ninja back during the final rounds of the chuunin exams…" Kiba counted
off one finger on his hand.
"Oh and the incident during the exams
too in the Forest of Death when Lee got injured," stated Tenten. Kiba
marked off another finger.
"And who could forget our first training mission together," cringed Ino. Third finger up.
"D-Didn't something h-happen in the Land of Waves t-too," squeaked Hinata. The brown-haired genin raised his fourth finger.
"Plus
I heard from Asuma-sensei that bad things went down for your group
sometime between the Third's death and Tsunade's return to the village,"
added Shikamaru, contributing despite his disinterest in the
conversation. Finger number five was now up. This was beginning to get
ridiculous.
"And rounding on number six," began Kiba, "is, of
course, this mission we just completed." The boy raised half a dozen
counted fingers, wiggling them for emphasis. "Do you see what I mean
now? We all know your team is jinxed."
Team 7 paused pensively as
they mentally went over their exploits for themselves, eyes widening as
they all came to the same pitiful realization.
"B-But…I mean come on guys," said Naruto, "we haven't had bad luck on every mission."
He seemed to be saying this more for himself than the others, looking
to his two teammates for support. "W-well…" he started frantically after
no response was given, "th-there was that one time when we found that
lost cat." His hopeful eyes shone with victory.
"B-But don't you
remember what happened?" said Sakura slowly, not wanting to burst
Naruto's bubble of triumph too quickly. "We discovered that the cat was
being driven away by a mafia of ninja dogs that roamed the neighborhood
and eventually came up against their owners who happened to be a group
of bandits smuggling black-market goods into the Hidden Leaf village."

One amusing bit from a (very flawed, but improving) super-Sakura story (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5151266/33/A_New_Destiny)
