Chapter 1: Alone in sadness
Kiba sat in his bed with Akamaru laying on the floor next to him. Kiba was sad because he was alone. He kept thinking about the new young couples of the village: Naruto and Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke, as well as Ino and Shikamaru. Kiba had his hands behind his head and thought: "Why can't I find someone special?" Kiba only had his pants on due to the blistering heat of summer. His muscular torso went up and down as Kiba tried to compel himself out from his sorrow. Suddenly there was a hard knock on his door. His mother, Tsume, barked: "Kiba! Get up and eat breakfast! get and early start on your training!"
Tsume then left the house for a meeting with the 5th Hokage. Kiba knew better than to disobey his mother- she was just as wild as him. Kiba got out of bed and put on his signature black jacket with white stripes on the sides. He emerged from his bedroom with Akamaru trailing behind. After Kiba sat down at the table, he had a distant look on his face as he ate his breakfast. His sister, Hana, noticed this look and asked lovingly, "Kiba, what is the matter? You seem depressed today." Kiba knew that he could always talk to his kind sister about his problems. He answered, "I'm just tired of always seeing the other couples around Konoha. I don't have anyone like that." Hana put her hand on Kiba's. She asked, "Why don't you go and take Akamaru for a pleasant walk? Who knows? You might meet someone." Kiba reluctantly agreed and went out of the house with Akamaru.
Kiba walked with Akamaru through the large forest and green fields located near Konoha. The natural setting actually made Kiba glad and brought him out of his sorrow. Akamaru was excited as well. He suddenly tackled Kiba and they rolled down a grassy hill together. Kiba knew that Akamaru was just playing with him. Besides Hana, Kiba also knew that Akamaru understood his sorrow and wanted him to be happy. Kiba sat up with Akamaru on his lap and gazed out into the beautiful sunny sky. Then he saw her and his entire world changed.
