'...And Deji has done it again! I swear folks this little chihuahua is a champion! I would give a million dollars to see a dog better than her! A purebred! What a dog!'

Kiba scoffed and turned off the television. "Please, me and Akamaru could beat that shrimp of a dog hands down! Right boy?"

The small white dog just whined.

Kiba widened his eyes. "What do you mean you don't wanna?"

Akamaru whined again. "You like Deji!"

Akamaru barked. Kiba sighed and leaned back in the chair mumbling about pure breeds not being real dogs.

Meanwhile, Deji and her owner Omoi Kujiku were unpacking their belongings at their new house in Konaha. Omoi put the last box down in the middle of the living room and looked at Deji "So girl, is this a good change of pace or what?"

Deji barked and wagged her tail happily running toward her. Omoi picked her up and giggled when Deji licked her face. She set her sown and smiled "I told you this was better than competing everyday."

Deji barked. Omoi sighed "Yeah I guess it would be a good idea to go explore the town." She said getting Deji's leash.

They walked outside and stopped in front of a pet supply store. Omoi looked at Deji who seemed uninterested in anything there. She smiled at petted her. A small white dog ran toward them barking happily and sniffing Deji, whom sniffed back. Omoi kneeled down and looked at the small dog "Hello little puppy, where's your owner?"

"AKAMARU!" Kiba yelled running toward them. He stopped right in front of them panting, "Akamaru....you...ran...away"

Omoi smiled at him. "I'm guessing he's yours. Hm seems as though he likes my little girl."

Kiba sighed "Akamaru stop playing romeo and let's go home.....weird that dog looks familiar"

Omoi closed her eyes "So you recognize Deji huh?"

Kiba's eyes widened "That's Deji?"

She nodded "But please don't speak too much of it, we're retired now and all we want to do is relax"

Kiba nodded. "Your secret's safe with me. By the way I'm Kiba Inuzuka and this is Akamaru"

Omoi opened her eyes to see him holding out his hand, she took it "I'm Omoi Kujiku and this, of course, is Deji"

He smiled, as did she.
