Chapter 1

"Shino, you are so BORING!!"

Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame were walking down the streets of Konoha together. Kiba's faithful companion Akamaru however was absent, for the poor dog had come down with the flu and had to stay indoors. If Shino had not invited the Inuzuka, then Kiba would probably still be indoors comforting his canine friend.

"All I asked was for you to come a walk with me, that is all I said..." replied the bug master, with no emotion.

"I thought we would maybe go for some FOOD!! I'm starving here!! Can't we go get something to eat??" pleaded Kiba.

The Aburame sighed angrily to himself and from behind his round sunglasses looked at the hooded boy next to him.

"You do realize that we passed the ramen house half an hour ago..." stated Shino.

Kiba just grinned at his team mate, and stuffed his hands into his jacket pockets.

"Then we'll just run back! Come on Shino, I'll pay!!" said Kiba.

There was an unsteady silence between the two as they stared each other out. But their staring cintest wa sbroken when a few drops of rain started to fall from the grey clouds above.

"...Fine, we'll run back to the ramen house...but only because I don't want to get wet-"

Sadly Shino never got to finish his sentance, as the dog lover had grabbed his arm and started to sprint back the way they came, determined not to get too wet. Shino had a light hint of red on his face, which was luckily hidden by his high collar. Though he would never admit it out loud, the Aburame had a crush on his team mate and closest friend Kiba. He loved Kiba's rebellious attitude towards life, his canine traits and his wild spiked hair, which the Inuzuka rairly showed. While these thoughts ran through Shino's head, he didn't notice that Kiba had already dragged him inside the ramen house. Shino was only awakened however when Kiba started to shake himself dry, causing Shino to get more wet. Kiba turned around to his drenched friend, and looked a little embaressed.

"Uhhh oops...sorry Shino, didn't mean to get ya wet!!" exclaimed Kiba loudly.

Kiba's reply was a small "Hn" as Shino walked past him to get a table. Kiba took this cue to go to the counter and order themselves some food.

Shino sat by himself at the table, watching the rain outside fall from the sky. However he turned around when he heard a voice behind him.

"Hey Shino...is it alright if I sit here for a minute?"

The bug master turned his head to see the owner of the voice. It was none other than Nara Shikamaru, a slightly wet Nara Shikamaru. As unlikely as it sounds, after the Chuunin Exams, the two had come to talk to each other and had formed a small friendship. It wans't as close as himself and Kiba's friendship, but Shino was happy with it none the less.

"Hn, yea sure Shikamaru..." mumbled Shino.

Shikamaru nodded and sat down in the seat across from Shino. At first, the two didn't exchange anymore words, just stared outside the window at the rain. But Shino eventually broke the silence when he looked down to under the table, to see a pure white dog sniffing at his leg.

"...I'm guessing this is your new dog everyone is talking about..." said Shino with no emotion.

Shikamaru bent down under the table to pick up the puppy. The male canine barked happily at his master picking up and placing him on the seat next to him.

"Uhh yea, well my main goal in life was to have an average family, ya know? A wife, two kids and a dog. So I thought I'd start with the dog, Kumo..." said the Nara, softly petting the dog on the head.

Shino nodded, understanding. Thinking about the aspects of having a companion, animal wise, his thoughts were interrupted by his loud mouthed team mate, arriving with their ramen.

"Sweet dog, Shikmaru!!" said Kiba, setting the ramen down on the table and petting the Nara's pet.

"Hn...yea thanks..." said Shikamaru, keeping an eye on his new companion.

While Kiba tried to get a conversation going with the lazy cloud watcher, Shino was again back to thinking of the aspects of having a pet. If he narrowed it down, the best options would be a cat or a dog. Now, though he never said so out loud, the Aburame HATED cats, with every fibre of his body. In the past, his team had gotten a "mission", which was to watch a lady's cat and kittens while she went away to visit her brother. A whole WEEK with those felines and Shino was off them for good. He understood all the reasons Kiba had for hating the feline species. So...his only option would be a dog...maybe a strong, loyal, good looking cani-

"HEY SHINO, WAKE UP!! I said, are ya eating that ramen!!" Kiba screamed in his ear.

Shino was brought back to reality by Kiba's shouting. He noticed that while he was daydreaming, Shikamaru and Kumo had already left. He shoved his bowl over to Kiba.

"Have it, scavenger. I'm not hungry..." Shino muttered.

Kiba eyed the bowl hungrily and started to wolf down the ramen. As he ate, he didn't notice Shino's wandering eyes watching him and then, just like Shino had figured out a plan. Oh yes, he would have Kiba's heart, and his perfect pet...

--

The next day, nine at night...outside of Shino's house...

Kiba stood outside of Shino's house, as instructed to by Shino earlier the previous day...

"Come by my house tomorrow night, Kiba. Nine o' clock...don't be late..."

Those had been the Aburame's words. Also, Kiba was still saddened a little that his beloved pet was still unwell. He sighed angrily to himself, before knocking on the door. He waited atleast two minutes before the door opened to reveal Shino. Said boy was in more casual clothes, consisting of a fish net top and baggy grey pants but of course he was still wearing his round shades. Kiba felt a small flush hit him, as he could see Shino's chest through the fish net. The Aburame could only smirk at Kiba's slightly dazed face.

"Are you going to stop staring, or are you gonna come inside?" said Shino mockingly.
