Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto; I am not nearly creative enough
AN: I'm not much of a writer I'm just bored out of my mind and I'm highly disappointed with the lack of stories with the kurenai/kiba pairing. Let me know what you think of my story good or bad… but like I said I'm not much of a writer. Oh yeah almost forgot I altered Kiba and Akamaru's battle with Sakon and Ukon, and I am also increasing everybody's age by three years so Kiba will be fifteen.
Worry… that was all jounin instructor Yuuhi Kurenai could feel at the moment. Why? That's quite simple actually, her student Kiba had just returned from the Sasuke Retrieval Mission nearly dead, and was currently in critical condition in the intensive care unit of the Konoha Hospital being treated for a stab wound in his side which had slightly punctured his right kidney, as well as a second stab wound that had just barely missed his heart.
Kurenai was now pacing around outside of Kiba's hospital room waiting for the doctor to come out and tell her how he was and whether or not she could go in and see him.
Now an hour later Kurenai had stopped pacing and had opted for sitting and worrying on one of the uncomfortable hospital chairs in the lobby, even though she had only been waiting an hour it felt like much, much, much longer than that. Now anybody would expect a teacher to be worried about their student, but looking at Kurenai even a normal civilian could tell she was far more worried than a shinobi should be, death after all being a part of their job killing as well as losing friends and loved ones.
Another forty-five minutes later and the doctor finally emerged from Kiba's room looking tired but satisfied; this immediately caused Kurenai to brighten slightly. "How is he?" she asked the second the doctor was close enough to hear her without her having to shout. "He's fine, but he's unconscious due to blood loss and severe chakra exhaustion. You may go in and see him if you would like, but do not attempt to wake him, and be careful putting pressure on his chest or right side or his wounds may tear" replied the doctor. Kurenai thanked him and immediately headed towards Kiba's room.
When she arrived at his door Kurenai stopped, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door attempting to be quiet. Akamaru, who had placed himself on a chair that had been conveniently located next to Kiba's bed, lifted his head up and turned it to look at Kurenai, who smiled in acknowledgement, slowly approaching Kiba's hospital bed. Looking around Kurenai noticed Kiba's clothes sitting on a shelf under the window on the far side of the room so she made her way over to inspect the articles of clothing. The first piece, Kiba's parka, was stained with copious amounts of blood and had a gaping hole in the center of the chest and another in the lower right side. The next piece, the plate armor Kiba wore underneath his parka, was damaged where a kunai had pierced the second plate from the top nearly shattering the whole plate. There was nothing too special about the mesh shirt that Kiba always wears other than where the mesh had been torn by the kunai. Under the shirt were Kiba's boxers, Kurenai blushed slightly while handling her student's undergarments but stopped when she noticed the blood that reminded her of what happened to the boy. And finally under the boxers where Kiba's blood stained pants along with his weapons pouches slightly deflated from the use of the weapons during Kiba's fight. Then kurenai heard a groan come from behind her, turning around hoping Kiba has awoken she was disappointed to see that he was just tossing in his sleep. Sighing Kurenai pulled another chair up next to the bed and grabbed Kiba's hands, she noticed that Kiba settled down and a small content smile appeared on his face, which in turn caused Kurenai's own smile. Kurenai leaned forward and rested her head on their joined hands and fell asleep with that smile on her face.
The next morning Kurenai awoke in much the same position she had fallen asleep in except Kiba had turned on his side and was now facing her. As Kurenai slowly became less groggy she began to sit up only to groan as her back, which was so used to being hunched over after sleeping like that for so long, protested her movement as she continued to sit up and began stretching. When her muscles and bones finally felt like they were back to normal Kurenai got up to use the bathroom and do her normal morning routine as best she could, but all she could really do was use the bathroom and wash her face. While drying her face off Kurenai barely managed to hear Kiba groan and say "Fuck my head hurts." Kurenai immediately burst through the bathroom door and noticed Kiba trying to sit up she rushed over and grabbed him in a fierce hug barely remembering to be careful of his wounds and was reminded when her student gasped then groaned in pain, and she promptly let go to avoid hurting him further.
Kiba woke up with a splitting headache and an empty stomach, hence why the first words to come out of his mouth since his fight with the twins was "Fuck my head hurts." Just then to his surprise the bathroom door opened and his sensei was rushing up to him and giving him a bear hug, which although he wasn't adverse to having his sensei hug him she was kind of hurting him which became evident when he groaned out in pain causing his sensei to let go of him.
"Are you okay Kiba-kun?" asked Kurenai after situating herself on the bed facing Kiba. He nodded in response and said that he was sore and was very hungry, and had a headache because of it. "Well unfortunately it's still too early to get you food, but I could rub your sore muscles for you" said Kurenai. To which Kiba gratefully accepted. As Kurenai positioned herself behind him and got to work on his muscles she asked "How did this happen to you Kiba-kun?" To which he responded "I did it to myself." Upon hearing this Kurenai stopped rubbing Kiba's muscles, much to his vocalized displeasure, and screamed "WHAT? WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT?" Akamaru who had been sleeping peacefully until Kurenai shouted at Kiba made his way to his companion's lap as he launched into his story about his fight with the twins Sakon and Ukon, explaining how they could meld with other living things and how his only choice was to sacrifice himself in order to kill them. By the end of his story Kurenai was hugging him again and her eyes were tearing up at her students brave and selfless act for the sake of a comrade who wasn't even deserving of such an act, but more so at the fact that she didn't want to lose Kiba. For you see Kurenai had become quite attached to her student so attached that she has been trying to figure out just how much she cared for her student. And after hearing his story she realized that she had become so attached to him and cared enough about him to tell him "I love you."
Kiba's mouth was wide open now. Had he really just heard his sensei tell him that she loved him? He had had a crush on his sensei ever since their teams exercise on getting to know each other. And now to hear his sensei truly had the same feelings for him it made him feel… happy, indescribably happy.
Kurenai was now extremely worried because Kiba hadn't said anything and it had already been five minutes since her confession, and she was beginning to fear she had ruined her relationship with him.
Kurenai's fears were allayed when Kiba turned to face her, looked her in her beautiful ruby red eyes and "I love you too, sensei" and immediately embraced her only to have her pull away and kiss him instead. It wasn't deep or passionate, it was nice and soft and the two enjoyed it for as long as they could. When they separated both were slightly dazed but recovered and Kiba apologized for making her worry so much, as well as promised to try not to do it ever again to which Kurenai was overjoyed to hear because he was thinking about her and her feelings. They embraced once more but as they did Kiba's mother, Tsume, and sister, Hana, walked through the door and saw them hugging, but thought nothing of it.
Kiba who had seen his family members enter, and Kurenai who had heard them enter separated and turned to face the two Inuzuka women. Tsume calmly walked up to her son and bopped him hard on the head for making her worry, and hugged him tight because she was glad he was still alive, she didn't want to lose her son like she lost her husband. Then Hana walked up and bopped him again, albeit not as hard as her mother, but still pretty hard and hugged her little brother. "How are you feeling Kiba-kun" Tsume asked as she moved his hospital gown out of the way to inspect the bandages on her son's torso to make sure they weren't too tight. "I'm fine ma just a little bit sore, but I'm damn hungry." Tsume laughed at this, her son was always hungry it seemed to her, so she came prepared and handed Kiba a bento completely filled with all of his favorite foods. "We also brought you a pair of your own boxers and your own sweatpants if you want to get changed" stated Hana as she dropped a bag down on her brother's bed. Kiba was very happy for this, he wasn't positive why but he really hated wearing hospital gowns they weren't uncomfortable so he always just assumed he didn't like it because they looked like dresses. Kiba ecstatically got up, stripped off his hospital gown, making Kurenai blush in response to seeing the boy in the hospitals standard issue boxer briefs, grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom to change while Tsume just shook her head unable to believe her son had just stripped nearly naked in front of his female sensei, and Hana laughed at her friends embarrassment. Soon enough Kiba returned wearing a pair of black sweatpants, with the waistband of his red boxers slightly exposed at the top, and nothing covering the bandages that were wrapped around his chest and stomach. Kiba walked back to his bed, stopping to pluck Akamaru, who had moved back to where he was midway through Kiba's story, out of the chair where he had been watching everything happen, and sat down next to Kurenai setting Akamaru in his lap and petting him. Nothing was said for a few minutes, Hana had taken up the previously occupied chair and Tsume merely continued to stand there and watch her son pet his companion. After a few more minutes Kiba noticed his mother unstrapping something from her back that he hadn't realized that she was carrying, and she broke the silence. "Kiba, I have a gift for you, I hadn't planned on giving these to you until you were old enough or became a jounin, but after what happened I think you deserve to have them." Kiba looked slightly confused as she handed him a long, thin, rectangular case. Kiba gasped when he opened the case and saw what was inside. In the case was a pair of custom katana which had belonged to his father. Each one was about a quarter of the length shorter to make for easier dual wielding, as well wielding with a reverse grip hold, and they both had a special seal that would allow him to channel his chakra into them to make them stronger (like Asuma's knuckledusters). Kiba looked up at his mother bewildered; when she saw the look on his face she laughed and said that she would train him to use them like his father had. Kiba immediately shot forward grabbing his mother into a strong hug.
A few hours later and a repeat of his story about his fight with the freaky twins Sakon and Ukon, Tsume and Hana had to leave. Hana needed to get to her veterinary clinic, and Tsume had to get to the hokage tower for a council meeting. Kurenai was now left alone with Kiba once again, and it was just a little after noon when suddenly Kurenai remembered something, "Kiba-kun," she said "I almost forgot to tell you that when you get discharged from the hospital you need to report to hokage-sama to be debriefed." This information caused Kiba to let an annoyed sigh he really hated having to give mission reports especially with the hokage herself because he found it exceedingly hard to keep his eyes on her face, and his thoughts organized and on task. "Damn. I hate giving mission reports." Kiba sighed again this time in defeat as he realized there was no way out of it. "Come on, it's not that bad" came Kurenai's soft voice attempting to cheer him up. "I think it is" retorted Kiba in a sullen voice. Kurenai thought for a minute and then she got an idea and said "I think I know what'll cheer you up." "What would that be Kurenai-chan" asked Kiba as he was leaning against the headboard with his eyes closed. She didn't answer instead she moved over to him and sat in his lap facing him and began to kiss him. Not surprisingly Kiba took it a step further and slipped his tongue into her mouth causing Kurenai to moan in delight as they both began to kiss harder only stopping to take quick gasps of air before continuing on. The two were so engrossed in their make out session that only Kiba noticed Anko come busting through the door completely foregoing knocking, and stumbling in on her friend, whom she had been searching for, for the better part of an hour, making out with her student.
Anko stood there in the room simply staring at her friend, who still hadn't taken notice of her. Deciding to make her presence known before this went any further she spoke up "Is this a bad time Kurenai-chan? I could come back later if you want." This startled Kurenai out of her activities with Kiba, who had already known Anko came in thanks to his acute hearing and incredible sense of smell. "What are you doing here Anko" Kurenai asked still straddling Kiba's lap, where his hands had at one point or another ended up grabbing her ass. "I was looking for you but it seems that you're a little busy" she said pointing at Kiba who grinned and gave Kurenai's rump a squeeze causing her to bounce in his lap, and making Anko laugh, she was liking this kid already. "Why were you looking for me, and how did you know I was here" asked Kurenai. "I ran into Hana on her way to the clinic and she said that you were here when she left so I came here to find you because I'm really bored, would you mind if I joined you?" Kurenai instantly grabbed onto Kiba and pulled him into her screaming "NO" at a laughing Anko. "Relax Kurenai-chan I'm just kidding. I'm more into foxes than doggies anyway. By the way does Hana know about you and her otouto?" This made Kurenai a little nervous, 'where can Anko possibly be going with this?' she wondered while loosening her death grip on Kiba. "No, why?" asked Kurenai in response. "Just curious that's all" replied Anko innocently. "Anko please keep this a secret, if the village finds out Kiba and I will be in major trouble, and Hana might try to kill me, and or me" Kiba added the last part to Kurenai's sentence. Anko already knew what the consequences would be if the village found out about this so she promised Kurenai that she would keep this their little secret. "Okay Kurenai-chan I promise, but I'm still bored with nothing to do" pouted Anko. "Well, if it's alright with him, you could stay here with Kiba-kun and I" Kurenai suggested as she slid out of Kiba's lap and sitting down resting against him, to which Kiba nodded his head to show he didn't mind. Anko thought about it for a minute and decided to stay for awhile. "Okay but will I get to play too" Anko asked in a hopeful voice only to have Kurenai shout a loud "NO ANKO!" at her. Anko just laughed saying "you're far too easy and far too much fun to tease Kurenai-chan."
Several hours later Anko had to leave and Kurenai, much to Kiba's disappointment, left as well because she wanted to go home for a change of clothing and a shower. Kiba finally relented, when she said that she would come back with some food for him. Kurenai was about to follow Anko out the door when she rushed back and gave Kiba a quick kiss so that Anko wouldn't see her and start teasing her again. After Kurenai left and Kiba had nothing to do he decided to go to sleep. As he drifted off to sleep his last thoughts were about his new girlfriend and how complicated their relationship was going to be, but he didn't mind, 'Hell Naruto has done things more impossible than this' thought Kiba as he drifted off to sleep.
Chapter end.
AN Well that's it for now let me know what you think. I had originally planned on making this a one-shot but because I go with the flow I'll make it longer.
