The boys were on their way to the bar to have some fun, when they came across a crowd in the middle of the street, " I wonder what that is," Naruto said, " Then let's check it out," Kiba called to them from the edge of the growing crowd. They pushed their way through to see what was going on. What they saw shocked them, there was a jonin ninja on the ground with a bleeding lip and a girl in a purple dress standing in a offensive pose. The girls hair was in a high pony and it hung in her face. What was more shocking was the fact that the girls hand was dripping from the mans blood," I told you NOT to touch me," she said with a snide in her voice. The man looked just as shocked as the people gathered, "I am NOT your bitch, don't touch me as if you OWN me! I'm tired of your harassment and if you touch me again or even look my way-" "You won't even have time to regret it."
The girl spun around to see six men step from the crowd and gather around her. kiba stepped up and grabbed the shinobi's collar and leaned into him, " don't go around harassing women in this town, esspecialy when I'm around, you hear? Or you will have to live the rest of your life without any pleasure. Ever." Kiba smiled sadisticly, "I can make sure of that," Naruto said from behind Kiba, the rest of the guys nodded. The jonin nodded franticly and took off as soon as he was released.
"You over-did it, Kiba," Shino told him.
"I did NOT." Kiba whinned, "Yeah you did," Kiba waved him off and turned to the girl, " You ok?" Her head was turned down and she looked like she was crying. "Hey, he didn't hurt you did he?" She shook her head, Kiba reached out to her, but she just slapped his hand away, "You didn't have to butt in, Mutt!" She yelled at him, her eyes met his and he blinked.
"Ino?"
0.o * * *
"Owww... She didn't have to hit me..." Kiba rubbed his cheek. "Well, you did butt into her fight-" "So did you guys! She didn't slap you guys!" The people around the table laughed at his pain, "Gee, glad to know I have such great friends, Damn, she has a hard hit." He rubbed his cheek some more as the others sat around the table.
Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, Sasuke, Shino, Choji, Lee, and Kiba. Along with their respective girlfriends, Hinata, Temari, Tenten, Sakura, and the rest are single at the moment (well, Shino is with Hana, Kiba's older sister, but he doesn't know about them yet. And Choji hasn't found the right girl yet,Kiba is inbetween, and Lee decided to give up on Sakura after thousands of defeats by Sasuke.)
"Hey, were's Ino?" Sakura asked, the boys laughed and gestered for her to ask Kiba. He scowled, which only made them laugh harder, "She hit me after saving her ass and took off."
He shrugged and downed his drink, then stood and raised a glass, "A toast, to Naruto," "Stop trying to change the subject," Hinata giggled, "We're here for him anyways so why not a toast? Anyway, the-number-one-knuckle-head-ninja-of-the-leaf finally got his dream, to the Hokage!" They all cheered and clanked glasses.
There was a loud crash at the door and they all turned, the scent hit him first. Those flowers, Ino. "She's here," Kiba stood up with his drink to get another chair. They all watched as the crowd parted and let a tall women clad in a black leather mini skirt, a strip of fabric the barely covered her breasts, a jacket with ripped sleaves, and boots that showed off her long legs. Her hair was done up with half of it in a side pony and the bottom half hanging to the middle of her thigh.
The blonde locks were tipped with an almost blood-red. The chains that hung from her boots and neck jingled as she walked toward them.
Kiba's glass fell from his hand and smashed on the ground as his knees went weak. "What the hell?" Sakura asked, " I thought you said Ino was here?" She scuffed at Kiba, "Great to know that you know me just enough to NOT recongize me." Ino stood behind the startled Sakura.
"Ino? That was you? What happened?" Everyone was staring at her, "Yeah, nice to see you too." She rolled her eyes and stole Naruto's drink, popping it back she kicked her feet up on the table and sat in Kiba's vacated seat.
They all stared at the girl in front of them, this wasn't the happy girl, that didn't let anythng get her down. This one was solem and grouchy, "what happened to you Ino?" Sakura asked concerned, Ino promptly ignored her.
"You can stop staring, Mutt." She said without looking. Kiba shook his head and grabbed another chair. They sat in silence for ten minutes. "Ugh! This is boring. Come on dog-boy." Ino grabbed Kiba's arm and dragged him to the dance floor.
She started moving to the beat and Kiba reacted on instinct, moving with her. "Why are you dressed like that?" He whispered, she glared up at him, " None of your buisness," she started to dance away, but he grabbed her at the waist and pinned her to him. She tried to pull away, but he only gripped tighter. "Tell me." His voice was final, she looked away. Kiba huffed and forced her head back to face him.
"You need to stop being a bitch and tell me what's wrong." She glared at him, not talking.
"Fine, don't tell me, I'll find out by myself." He moved away and she grabbed his sleave, "You going to tell me?"
She shook her head," If you're going to ask Sikamaru and Choji, don't bother, they don't know me well enough to figure it out. Not even Shikamaru. If I wouldn't tell them why would I tell you?"
Kiba jerked his arm away and stalked toward the table to grabved his stuff before storming out of the club.
"What's wrong with him?" Tenten asked Ino when she got back to them. "How would I know? I'm not his owner." They sat in silence for the rest of the night.
