This is a small story that has been stuck in my head.

NaruxHina, KankuxKiba, and KibaxHina themes.

Lots of drug use, sorry.

And yes, adult themes.

So read if you're up for it. :p

PART 1: The Beginning

"Come on, baby," he said with a mischievous smile. "Would I ask you to do something bad? Trust me, hon. You'll love it!" He reached out his hand to offer me what was inside. It was a small cigarette, but it made out of something other than tobacco. Yes, it was weed.

"I... don't know," I mumbled, unsureness rising in my gut. "I've never done anything like this before." It was true. I had only been his girlfriend for a week now, and before that I had never even been exposed to drugs before. His lips fell into a mocking pout.

"Please? Just once? If you don't like it, you never have to do it again, I swear!" His red-rimmed eyes seemed dull and glassy. I sighed. If I say no, what if he decides he doesn't like me anymore? I've tried so hard to be by his side and I really don't want to ruin it now. Besides, it's just one time, right? Finally I shrugged, my eyes darting back to the burning joint in his hand.

"I guess..." I slowly reached out to take it from him.

"Hey," A sudden voice behind me caused me to jump. I pulled my arm back to my side. Thank god. I saw Naruto's eyes narrow at whoever it was. I turned around to face my hero. "Don't make her do something she doesn't want to do." It was my best friend, my teammate. Kiba Inuzuka. He was what many women would call 'tall, dark, and handsome'. But right now he didn't look very handsome. He looked... intimidating. His deep brown eyes were burning into Naruto's.

"Fuck off, faggot." The words dripped from his mouth like acid. I glanced back to Naruto in surprise. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kiba's face flush pink from embarrassment. Still, the fire in his eyes only seemed to increase. From the smile rising on Naruto's lips, I could tell he registered this as a sore spot. Naruto always liked to poke people in their sore spots. "Why don't you go wonder back to your boyfriend and get your flaming ass out of my girlfriends business?"

Kiba's eyes dropped suddenly to the floor. "We broke up." Naruto laughed.

"Really? What a shock," he said, with no sense of sympathy in his voice what-so-ever. I threw him a confused look. He knew that! I told him three days ago, right after I had found out! "I guess you better go find yourself another guy."

"You know," Kiba growled, obviously trying to keep his anger under control, "I do like girls, too. I'm bi."

This somehow seemed hilarious to Naruto. "Bi my ass! You fucked a guy? Then you're gay!" I could almost feel the rage that was building up in
Kiba's eyes. Why is he being so mean to him? He knows Kiba is my friend! I hoped that this was the weed talking, not him.

"Naruto," I hummed, placing my hand on his shoulder. "Be nice." Kiba shot me a grateful look.

"Why, babe?" He asked, spinning around and embracing me around the waist. "I'm just fucking around. You know that, right Inuzuka?"

"Yeah," Kiba replied, shuffling his feet. His voice was cold. "Of course."

"Now," Naruto began, raising an eyebrow. "If you're done interfering...?" An obvious hint telling Kiba to leave. Kiba's eyes bounced back to mine. I couldn't help but notice how normal they seemed compared to Naruto's.

"You sure you're okay?" I nodded. I wasn't completely sure, but I just wanted this tension to end. "Alright, then." He threw his hands up, signaling his defeat, and began walking away. Naruto turned back to me, smiling, and offered me the joint again. I felt a sudden urge to call Kiba back. I wanted him to protect me.

"Now," he cooed, "Where were we?" I reluctantly took his offer. I brought the drug to my lips and took a long shaky inhale. From the corner of my eye I saw Kiba watching, shaking his head. I keeled over, my throat constricting in a sudden fit of coughing. Naruto laughed, and grabbed the joint from my trembling hands. He took another hit. "You'll get used to it."

And I did. Two weeks later, I had gone through half a dozen more smoking sessions. I had fallen in love with the place the pot brought me. I felt untouchable. For once, I felt strong. Last week someone had the bright idea of giving me my first taste of alcohol. I nearly threw up my guts, but I still went back for a second helping. But last night... last night I really let go. I was sitting with Naruto on someones couch (whoever had been hosting the party that night). I was curled up next to him in a cozy drug-induced nest. I was flying low, so low.

"Hey," someone elbowed me in my side, stealing away from my marijuana world. I turned my head halfway towards whoever. "You guys wanna get in on this?"At first glance I didn't even realize what 'this' was. It looked like a bunch of people sitting, talking around a table with a plate of white powder in the middle. Someone pulled out a razor blade and began forming the powder into straight lines. Then--wait. Were they snorting it? Suddenly I realized what the white power before me was. It was cocaine. "Come on," they prodded. "You've gone down darling, but you can't even imagine the rush when you go up." I ran the thought through my hazy mind. Something didn't click, but in my current state of mind I had forgotten the 'good girl' of my past. Without words, only a smile, I found my way through the crowd. They were laughing, cheering me on, and before I could stop myself I was holding a straw to a line, taking a deep inhale through my nose. The first feeling--pain. My nose burned with a fury. I swiped it with the back of my hand, sure it was bleeding. But suddenly, I stopped. My heart was racing so quickly! I could hear the blood rushing in my ears. My body began trembling. I felt so... alive! Like I could conquer anything. I loved it! I began crying, unable to believe how good I felt. I glanced around the room, catching Naruto taking a line or two for himself. After a moment he took my hand, then began kissing my neck. I shuddered in euphoria.

"I want you." I knew what he meant, but I also knew I wasn't ready. I wasn't prepared for this. The one thing I hated about this new high? I just felt so god damn good that I couldn't bring myself to say no. The next two weeks passed, these 'parties' occurring more and more. I felt myself slipping. My school work, slipping. My home life, slipping. My friends all slipping, slipping away. Kiba caught me one day in the hall at school.

"Hinata!" His eyes ran across me in worry. "I-I haven't seen you in a while. Are you...alright?"

"Yeah," I replied, the marijuana fog from my morning inhale pushing my bad thoughts away. "I'm fantastic."

He kicked his feet nervously. "You just seem... kind of different lately." Oh, I am. I definitely am. I'm a whole new being! But did I want him to know that? I flipped my hair innocently.

"Oh?" He kept his razor sharp eyes locked on me.

"Hey," He mumbled, changing the subject. "You think we could, you know, hang out tonight? It's been so long..."

"Tonight?" I can't tonight. Naruto said we were having some extra fun tonight. He said he'd introduce me to a whole new high."I can't tonight," I stammered, "I-I'm going to a party."

"A party?" His eyes lit up. "Sounds fun. Do you think... well, would you mind if I... maybe... tagged along?"

"I'm sorry," I replied quickly, "I just don't think it's your kind of party." Shit, why did I just say that? I could have brought him in to my world, made him feel good. Too late now. His eyes fell to the ground in front of him.

"Oh." After that I excused myself, hurrying away from him. I just couldn't take how he was making me feel. Is this...guilt? Sighing, I made my way out of the nearest doors. Falling behind the gym, I sparked up the extra joint in my pocket. Why feel guilty when I can fly?
