Kitsune, Inu, and Ino Under the Nightfall

Chapter 1

XxX June 19 XxX

Rain. The gray sky released a rumble as a boy no older than twelve walked to the Academy. A big smile was on his face as he touched the headband around his neck. He peered at a swing, that was in front of the Academy, through his soaked blond locks. He remembered meeting his best friend there.

XxX flashback XxX

The sky was turning a dark gray as a storm approached. A young blond was sitting at the swing.

"Damn it!"

The boy looked up, revealing sharp blue eyes and three whisker scars on each cheek, instantly on alert. He soon spotted the resource of the noise. It was a boy that had on a gray coat with fur lining the edges and hood. Under the hood you could see a bit of brunette hair. The most interesting thing about him was that he had a red marking on each of his cheeks. He started looking in the bushes for something when he spotted the blond.

The burnette boy rushed over. "Hey can you help me!?" he asked breathing heavily.

The blue eyed boy thought about it, shrugged and nodded. "Sure. Why not?"

The brunette calmed down for a second and said his name."I'm Kiba."

"Naruto," the blonde said curtly. "What are you looking for?"

Kiba got mad and said, "Not what, who!" he huffed out, " And my dog, Akamaru. I lost him after he cased a squirrel."

Naruto nodded and looked toward the sky. "We better hurry. It's going to rain soon."

Kiba led them to where he last seen Akamaru. "He ran in there." he said looking toward one of Konoha's many forest.

"Well that's just great." Naruto said sarcastically. The problem was that out of Konoha's many, many forest the dog just had to run into a thick one.

"Akamaru!" Kiba yelled into the trees. They heard a faint barking. "Akamaru?" Kiba ran toward the noise with Naruto right behind. The sky let out a loud crack and it suddenly started to pour down on poor Naruto and Kiba. You see it had been raining a lot lately and the river banks were deep enough as it was, but with it raining so hard most of the smaller rivers would soon flood.

'This is not good.' Naruto thought. Kiba yelled the dog's name once again and they followed the barking the best they could. They made their way to a river that was flooding the sides already. It had a bunch of branches and sticks keeping back most of the water. They heard a bark coming from the branches and seen a small dirty white dog stuck in between two branches.

"Akamaru!" Kiba took a step toward the small dam but heard a loud splash. Naruto had fallen in! Oh no, wait a second he jumped in and was swimming toward Akamaru. "What are you doing!? You'll drown!" Kiba yelled but Naruto either couldn't hear him over the loud roar of the river or was ignoring him. The blond swam slowly and carefully toward the puppy. It was hard work swimming against the current, not being able to see in front of you, rain pound down on you, and it was hard to swim in clothes. Now that he thought about it it would have been better to go to the other side of the dam and let the water carry him to the dog. Oh well. He finally reached the branches and pushed himself up onto the dam. Naruto carefully crawled over to the tired puppy and grabbed him around the waist. He pulled the dog out of between the branches. The branches suddenly shifted beneath him. The damn dam was going to break! (AN: I had to do it! )

If that happened then all of the water was going to push Naruto and Akamaru under, and they'd drown. The Jinchuuriki swam as fast as he could to toward Kiba pushing the tired dog in front of him to keep him from going under. The dam made a creaking noise and started bending forward. It was a good thing that the rain eased a bit so that they could see at least four feet in front of them. If it didn't then Naruto never would have seen Kiba who jumped in the water once he seen Naruto swimming with Akamaru toward the bank. Naruto made his way toward Kiba as fast as he could. The dam then decided to break and flood water came rushing toward the three.

Naruto made a last attempt chance to push Akamaru the rest of the way to Kiba. Kiba grabbed him around the waist and scooted him as far away from the river as he could without moving. Akamaru walked as far as he could toward the tree line, which was about three feet and flopped down. The water reached Kiba and Naruto and washed Naruto, who was farther away from the bank, under the water. Naruto was thinking that this was the end and just went with the water when something grabbed the scruff of his jacket. Kiba, back above the water, was trying to pull the blond back above the rushing water while trying to not go under himself. It wasn't that hard really. Naruto was a lot skinnier than his jacket made him look. Apparently it was working as he pulled Naruto to the shore and laid down next to the water logged boy. They stayed like that for a moment panting to catch their breath. Kiba sat up so Naruto followed suit. As they sat there the rain calmed down and then stopped altogether.

Kiba looked sheepishly at Naruto "Gomen, man. I didn't know that it was going to be dangerous to just find Akamaru."

Naruto looked back at him and smiled "It's okay. You didn't know so there are no hard feelings. Anyway I couldn't let Akamaru die, right?"

"Right." Kiba smiled and looked over to the sleeping puppy.

"Well it's getting late. You probably have to go home and get yourself and Akamaru dry." Naruto said.

"Yeah. You probably have to go home too, right?" Kiba said looking at Naruto.

Naruto looked down and quickly lied, "Yeah, sure. So maybe I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, maybe."

Kiba walked over to Akamaru and picked him up. "I'll see you later, Naruto." The brunette then started to walk home.

Naruto walked to his apartment and laid on his bed after a nice warm shower. 'I think I like the rain.' he thought and fell asleep.

The next day Naruto went to the Academy and saw Kiba and Akamaru. "Hey! Kiba?" he said surprised.

"Naruto?"

They stared at each other then started laughing. After they calmed down Kiba looked confused.

"I never knew that we went to the same school."

Naruto looked down until his hair was covering his eyes. "Well that's not that surprising." he said softly.

Kiba didn't catch the obvious and continued cheerfully. "Well why don't you sit next to me?"

Naruto looked up at the brunette confused. Was he really willing to sit with the so called 'demon'? "Um, okay, I guess so."

They talked until Iruka came into the room and quieted the class. After that Naruto and Kiba sat together and became great friends, they even started to prank people together.

XxX end flashback XxX

And today they were officially Genin. Naruto walked in the room soaked and walked toward his seat, shaking water out of his hair like a dog.

"You know you're only supposed to show up if you graduate," a brunette boy said grinning with a dog sleeping on his head.

"Oh yeah, I know but you see this dog-boy?" Naruto growled out playfully, pointing to his headband. He slipped it up to his forehead to keep his hair out of his eyes.

"Congrats. So how did you do it?"

"Well you see, Mizuki-sensei came up to me and asked if I wanted to pass. Of course I said yes because if I didn't who would look after you?" Naruto paused to laugh a little while Kiba made a face, "Anyway long story short, Mizuki-sensei was a traitor, I kicked his ass, and Iruka-sensei made me a ninja."

"Awesome!" Kiba yelled and Akamaru, now awake, yipped in agreement.

Just then two girls got stuck together in the doorway both screaming, "I WIN!!"

"Kami, what was that?!" Kiba yelled covering his ears, Naruto doing the same beside him.

"I don't know but-!"Naruto stopped mid-sentence as he had spotted Sakura. "Hey Sakura-chan!" he yelled waving at her, completely ignoring the fact the she was one of the people that almost made his ears bleed.

"Naruto-baka can't you see I'm busy?!" screamed the pinkette cutting through her fight with a pale blond haired girl over who would sit next to 'Sasuke-kun'.

Said boy was calmly sitting there ignoring the girls. Actually he was ignoring everyone. Probably brooding... again. Weirdo.

Iruka strolled in and calmed the class down. He had a few cuts and bruises but otherwise looked fine. "Okay class, today you are real ninja and are going out into the world where you could easily get killed if you do not stay alert and aware of your surroundings. With that being said Team 1 is..."

Naruto dazed out not listening to Iruka's advice in the slightest because even if he wasn't alert he would still lash out or guard himself. The privileges of being an orphan he guessed.

"...Team 7 Haruno Sakura," Naruto snapped out of his daze when he heard his 'precious' Sakura's name. "...Uchiha Sasuke, and Nara Shikamaru under Hatake Kakashi." Sakura cheered and rubbed it in Ino face that she got the same team as Sasuke, Shikamaru went back to sleep, and Sasuke was... Sasuke. "Team 8 Uzumaki Naruto, " Naruto crossed his fingers, "Inuzuka Kiba, and... "

'Thank Kami. If i didn't get Kiba I don't know what would've happened.'

"Damn, I didn't get Sakura-chan." Naruto whispered to Kiba.

"I hope we get Hinata." Kiba whispered back. "Or any other girl just not...

"Yamanaka Ino under Yuuhi Kurenai." Iruka finished.

"WHAT?!" Ino yelled standing up, "Here I don't get Sasuke-kun but instead get the dobe and dog-boy!"

"Hey it's not like we wanted you either, Ino!" Naruto yelled back since they were sitting on opposite sides of the room.

"Yeah, I second that!" Kiba yelled standing too, pulling Naruto with him. Akamaru barked his agreement.

"Why did I get the two loudest idiots?!" the Yamanaka yelled to the heavens.

"You're one to talk!" Kiba... uh, yelled back even though she wasn't asking him.

"Woof!"

"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!!" Iruka yelled losing it. "You're together and that's final!" He composed himself and read off the last team. "Team 10 Akamichi Choji, Aburame Shino, and Hyuuga Hinata under Sarutobi Asuma. Now all of you sit here and wait until your senseis arrives."

Asuma arrived first and took Team 10, and after awhile it was just Teams 7 and 8 left. Both of the girls sitting next to Sasuke trying to start a conversation and Shikamaru sitting with Naruto and Kiba with his head on the table.

"Man, I feel bad for you." Kiba said patting Shikamaru on the back after staring at Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino for awhile. " You got a banshee and the stuck-up prick."

"Yeah well... you got Ino." Shikamaru said weakly knowing how bossy the flower obsessed girl could be, having to hang out with her when their dads wanted to go to the bar.

"But that, my friend, is only one thing." Naruto pointed out.

"Uh, troublesome." Shikamaru groaned, letting his head hit the table.

The sound of the door opening was heard and all of the ninja and a dog looked up. A women with wavy brunette hair with red eyes and lips stood there. She wore a dress that looked like bandages with a red long sleeve on one side.

"Team 8?" seeing the nods of three children she continued, "Follow me."


Well that's the end of chapter one. Does anyone know what sort of things Kurenai likes other that Asuma and flowers?

So what's going to happen...? I don't know, why ya lookin at me?! Jeez. Next time introductions!

Anyway, R&R.
