HAI! A bit of a mini-series I did with a friend, who plays Kiba in this... It's a bit of a banter, y'know.. Back and forth.

Mada: Well, as you all know I don't own Kiba, or Naruto... TT I wish I did though.. He's sooo hooot... (nod)

Kiba: (Scratches at his ear) Err...thanks?

Gaara: Don't forget about your OTHER story!

Mada: I'm not.. (hugs Kiba) KIBA! KIBA! KIBA! (snuggles with him) Mine. (growls) Oh, and Kiba (the one tagged the name there) is ACTUALLY the person who plays Kiba in this story.. Meh lovely.

Kiba: (Eeps and falls, petting her lightly. Waves to the crowd.) Yep, that's me.

Mada: Alright.. Time for the story! (drags Kiba off to a bedroom with an evil grin.)

Kiba: (Flails and claws at the floor, leaving marks as he's dragged off) Noooooooo!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Summer, the most blossoming time of the year, yet hot and sticky at the same time. It was peaceful in Konoha, Sasuke having left long before, Naruto having come back with Jiraya, and mostly nothing going on with everything else. It was during this time the Hokage accepted a lone missing-nin into the village. Her name? Taama Densii.. Who was she to stay with? You guessed it, our little missing nin was chosen to stay with the Inuzuka's. Now she was standing infront of the Hokage tower, kicking stones about as she waited for her escort. Her head tilted to the sky, she lazily leaned back onto her heels.. She felt this was going to be boring. She ducked as a ball whizzed past her, and she turned to glare at a certain blonde-headed boy. "Hiya! I'm Naruto, and someday I'll be Hokage! Dattybayo!" Densii raised an eyebrow, and then smiled. "Hello, Naruto.. Nice to meet you." She said, and then the boy raced off for the ball.

As the crimson orb bounced off into the distance, a familiar figure could be seen heading the opposite direction, toward the girl; Atop his canine companion, the seemingly unkempt Inuzuka, Kiba, could be seen reading off from a scroll quietly. New refugee...guess I should expect them coming more and more, since the war on Otogakure rages on....Thoughts drifted back to his briefing by his old Sensei, Kurenai. --Flashback.-- Several papers slid off onto the desk; The inu-nin would eye the report with interest as the jounin spoke. "Her name's Densii..you'll be her escort for the next few days, and you'll be watching over her. Nowadays, most nin aren't accustomed to foreigners..so a warm welcome isn't to be expected in some cases. Also, just as a precaution; She may be a refugee, but Hokage-sama's policy is still policy. If she does anything suspicious, report back." Kiba would nod, and turn to the door. "Don't you even want to know where she is?" The brown-haired boy laughed, sniffing a bit. "I'm sure it's in the report." He'd wave off, heading out the door, and closing it behind him. --End of Flashback.-- Kiba's seeming trance would be roused as a ball came wizzing by his face; twitching slightly. Down below him was the yellow-haired shinobi, who could be heard as well as seen from a mile away. "Gomenasai, Kiba-kun! Ja ne"

Densii's slim figuire saw the ball flying toward her again, and it one swift movement she'd pounced on it, knocking it out of the air as she stood up. "Yo, Naruto-kun! If you keep doing that you'll knock someone out!" Said the girl as she picked up the circular red ball, balancing it in one hand as the blonde raced up to her, and snatched the ball. "Arigato.. Umm, I'm sorry.. You never told me your name." Densii gave a cheery smile, brushing past a strand of her black hair. "Taama Densii, but you can call me Den." She said as the blonde-nin nodded, and then darted off. Densii turned to see the young man perched on... wait! Is that a dog? Those where her thoughts as she smiled. She loved animals, dogs especially.. Cats, less so. She heard a rustle behind her, and stood erect for a moment before a blurry figure leaped from the bushes. Densii meerly ducked as the person missed her and hit the ground rolling, revealing a now very dazed Sai. "Huh.. Not a very warm welcome." Commented Densii.

Kiba's gaze shifted as he saw the blurred figure emerge for the bushline. It was that annoying Sai again...the guy was alright, but he had a habit of...Once more, he was interrupted in midthought; Looking the girl over a few times and looking back to his notes. The description fit..Hnn...wait. Sai! He would stand as Akamaru walked tentively, and leap off the canine; taking a running start. "Sai-baka! Stop, you idiot! That's one of the new ones" A protective growl in his voice; He'd be damned if an overzealous Sai would hurt a harmless girl, especially on his watch...and one that he was supposed to be protecting.

Sai hadn't heard it seemed, as he lunged at the girl again. In one fluid moment Densii had conjured long red strings, and as she side-stepped Sai again, she wrapped it around his body so he fell to the floor, tied up, and wriggling. Densii let out a small sigh, turning her red gaze upon Kiba. Her startling red pupil's could remind someone of the Sharingan, but her eye's where too wide, and had iris', so she did not posses the bloodline. She smiled at Kiba, and then looked back at Sai. She'd used one of her strings to seal his mouth shut, so he was now just glaring at her. "What fun.." She commented, stretching lightly for a moment.

Kiba would sigh a bit, face slowly drifting into his palm as he looked at her. "Densii? One second." He'd lean down over Sai, growling and baring a fist. "Sai-baka. Let's see if I can get this through your skull this time. She's one of us now. And she's under my, as well as the Hokage's protection. Though it won't need to go so high up. If you come after her again, well...let's just say you'll be lucky never to draw again in your life." A snarl, as he latched out a clawed hand, slashing down across the strings and cutting him loose, eyeing him carefully. "Do we have an understanding?"

Sai meerly grumbled, and nodded, before quickly dashing off. He glared at Densii one last time, who gave him a cheery wave. She turned to Kiba, looking up at him since she was a bit shorter than him. "And, yes.. I'm Densii." She said, seemingly uncaring. "I'm guessing your an Inuzuka?" Akamaru then drew her attention, and she gave the large canine a small smile, before looking back to his master. One hand tugging gently on a black strand of her hair, she shifted on her sandled feet. Her manner seemed lazy, even uncaring, except she gave Kiba much of her attention.

Kiba would stand as the raven-haired nuisance vanished, nodding a bit. "Kiba." A loud bark from the other; "Oh...And that's Akamaru." He laughed lightly as he watched her. "Well...I'm not sure how much Hokage-sama told you..but." He would reach up slowly, undoing the knot on his hitai-ate and slipping it off, causing unruly brown locks to slip down his forehead as he shook them away. "This, is probably a really good first step in keeping thickheaded people like Sai off your back.." He'd hand it to her; "Now..unfortunately, we haven't been able to get you an apartment yet...so...since I'm your protector, of sorts, it's been decided that you'll stay at my house." He blushed; talking formal in embarassing situations wasn't his strong point.

Densii gently took it in her hands, nodding lightly. "Hai." She'd say, and then smile at him. "Hope I won't be too much of a trouble." She said, laughing lightly as she brushed past her hair for a moment. She had a very wierd sensation of wanting to pet Kiba, but she didn't, and instead busied her hands with the hitai-ate. When she was done, she'd stroll over to Akamaru, and lean down, smiling. "Heya, Akamaru.. I'm Densii." She said, maybe because she'd wanted to get closer to the dog. She then trotted back over to Kiba, stopping at his side and looking up at him. "So, You'll have to come around town with me, won'tcha?" She asked him, as though contemplating something.

Kiba shook his head lightly. "Nah, I'm sure you won't be. It takes a lot even for Naru-kun to get under my skin!" Pearly fangs slipped down from his semi-dry lips as he cracked a smile. "Yeah, I'm gonna have to go into town with you. But; One thing. You've got...a probation period on you right now. For about two weeks, the Academy and the Hokage Tower are offlimits. Unless you have a summons from the Kage himself, that is." He gave a sympathetic look; It was about this time many of the newcomers weren't so happy about the move. "As long as you keep out of trouble, everything should go smoothly."

Densii nods slowly, "Ah well, Not like I wanted over here anyway." She stuck her tongue out, "It looks boring!" She grinned sheepishly and then she looked up at him. "I'd be lost even taking three steps in this big village, so.." She tugged on her summer top, wondering how he wore that jacket even in this heat. She didn't mind the dog smell, no.. She just wondered how he could wear that. Of course, with her being from the Snow village, she wasn't used to the heat all that much. She leaned back on the balls of her feet, looking up at him as she tilted her head to the side, a small smile cracking her cold facade. She'd given up being the heartless ninja when she came into this village.. She was going to start over.

Kiba would slide up ontop of Akamaru; "Hey. We're not THAT boring. Unless you go talk to Neji-kun. He's such a snore!" He'd pet at the dog's mane, and offer a hand down to her. "Want up? It'd be easier to travel for us. Akamaru's a strong boy, he can hold us both." The inu-nin's gaze shifted to the skyline; "But for now...it's getting kinda dark. So the first stop of the night...well, I guess it's a surprise." He snickered softly. The heat didn't bother him too much; he was used to it. And he wasn't wearing such a heavy coat anymore, either. "Coming?"

Densii smiled, and gently grabbed onto Kiba's outstreched hand. She easily scrambled up onto the dog, behind Kiba now as she looked around. "Wow, This is cool..." She said, looking down at the ground for a moment, before she looked up at Kiba. "Hehe.. Your lucky!" She gently ran her fingers through Akamaru's coat, shifting untill her legs where hanging on either side as though riding a horse. She meeped lightly as she glanced at the ground again, and she smiled. "Wow, Kiba-kun... This is high." She looked up at the sky for a moment, and then at him, still smiling.

Kiba nodded. "Yeah, I love being around Akamaru. Believe it or not, he was a normal-sized pup at one point. Everyone says he's grown...I never actually noticed." A blink or two; it didn't really seem that high either. Probably just his oblivious streak again. Akamaru would start trotting off toward their apartment at a rather comfortable pace as Kiba shifted around to face her. "So...tell me about yourself. The file gave me a few things, but I'm more interested about things from your point of view than from some old report."

Densii smiled, "Well, I love animals.. I love chocolate.. No matter how I try I always wake up early. I come from the snow village, and I can cook good. I came here in hopes of making my own resturent." She kept her eye's locked on Kiba, afraid if she looked down she'd become afraid. "Mmm.. I was a missing-nin for five years, during which time I traveled around, and then found an old friend who was a Konoha nin. She invited me to join Konoha, since I was a refugee really, and the sound nin where vicious.. So, I traveled here, waited to get a passport.. and here I sit..."

Kiba laughed a bit, nodding along as she told her story. "Really? A good cook, eh? Then, boy am I lucky! I am the worst cook I know...other than Naru-kun...and that's just because he only cooks ramen all the time. And it's good you love animals..they're so much we can get from them. And, well...you'd have a bit of a rough stay if you couldn't handle 'maru here." Various eyes lay on the two...three, with interest as they continued down the village streets, and into what was considered the heart of Konohagakure. "Interesting...very interesting..." He'd shift a bit, smiling. "Well...hm."

Densii shifted lightly, laughing to herself at what he said. "I'll cook for you then, It's the least I can do." She said, ruffling her hair slightly with a small laugh. She then smiled, "Aww.. Who couldn't like Akamaru? He's a handsome dog." She said, giving the large dog a small pat from where she sat on his back. She glanced around, untill she spotted a figuire running toward her. Her eye's widened, "Kaori Kagai (Evil Scent)!" Kaori was a short stocky boy with an evil grin. "DENSII!" He screamed in a high-pitched voice as Den looked like she was ready to burst into tears. "I hate him!"

Kiba smiled at her comments; Both the one about Akamaru, and the one about her cooking. He twitched lightly as he heard the Naru-esque screech, nudging into the canine's side, a signal to take off; promptly recieved by the mount, who took off at a running gait. "No worries. No one can outrun Akamaru! We'll have him lost within minutes!" He'd pat her on the shoulder before taking both her arms and placing them around his waist, turning back to the front so that they didn't fall. "Hang on tight."

Densii clung to him tightly, burying her face in his back so she wouldn't see anything, especially not look down, since she didn't want to see the ground fly past her. She laughed, smiling lightly. "Thank you, Kiba-kun!" She said. Kaori faded in the distance, not even trying to give chase. Her grip tightened lightly on Kiba, although not enough to hurt him as she looked at the scenery again. She clasped her hands together infront of him, her legs holding her from bouncing up and down on Akamaru, who she made a mental note to thank when they got done.

Kiba nodded. "Any time! I'm supposed to protect you, remember?" A grin as they flew 'round a corner or two..somehow not running into any civilians. They were all on the sides, leaving an easy path for Akamaru to reach their destination..A tall, multi-story building. He'd softly part the girl's arms from around him and jump down, waiting below her to catch her or help her down. Whichever she needed. "This is it. Well...the building, anyway. I'm a little further up than this." He ran his fingers through his partner's coat as his gaze remained on her figure.

Densii slid off Akamaru easily, landing on the ground bent for a moment before she stood up. She brushed herself off, and looked at him, saying in a serious voice. "If your apartment is messy, no matter what you say.. I'm cleaning it." She stated this clearly, giving him a mock glare. She ran a hand through her black hair, ruffling it slightly. She patted Akamaru. "Thanks, Akamaru-kun." She said happily, before she took a step toward Kiba, now standing by his side. She smiled lightly, and then looked back at Kiba, stretching for a moment before she leaned back on her feet.
