"Hey, Tsuki!" a familiar voice caught my attention as I looked over my shoulder to see Hinata, Kiba and Shino.
"Hinata!" A shiver went through me as I looked at Shino, but Hinata waved me over so I swallowed my fear and went over, a small smile on my lips. Kiba snorted as he laughed at me, Akamaru barking beside him. That dog had got to be huge.
"Still scared of bugs?" Kiba snickered as Shino adjusted his glasses.
"I'm fine." I snapped back, a feeling of guilt washed over me as Shino smiled and waved as he left. "Look what you did you stupid mutt." I glared at him as he growled, his elongated incisors showing.
"Wait, you guys…don't fight…" Hinata whispered as I crossed my arms and looked away from Kiba. It had been a while since I'd been in the hidden leaf village; I had gone out on a mission that seemed to last forever. "How long have you been back?" Hinata asked softly.
"I just got back this morning; I was looking to meet up with Ino and Sakura."
"Oh, I see. I'm glad to see you again…" Hinata stuttered, bringing her finger to her lips.
"Would you like to come with me Hinata? Naruto will be there…" I teased as a bright red blush wafted across Hinata's face. Kiba scoffed behind us as I passed a glare at him over my shoulder. "I guess you can come too, as long as you wash that wet dog smell off you." His growl was the only response I got as Hinata finally nodded.
"I'd like that…"
"Alright, well it's not for another hour or so."
"Oh…I'm going to go home and get ready then…" Hinata smiled as she ran off into the distance, leaving Kiba and I glaring at each other.
"Where's your dog?" Kiba asked reluctantly when Akamaru nudged him for the fourth time since I'd gotten there.
"She's resting at home…" I replied as I laughed. Akamaru had always seemed interested in my giant Rottweiler, Amaris. "Akamaru is welcome to go visit her." I smiled evilly as Kiba glared, his dog pulling on his jacket as he wagged his tail, pulling him towards me.
"Seems I don't have a choice. You lead the way." Kiba muttered angrily as Akamaru barked and let go of him, running to me.
"Alright." I nodded. Petting Akamaru as I lead the two down the path I had come from, the hairs on my neck stood up as we walked in silence. Kiba was a beast master shinobi, and I was supposed to be considered one too, but I wasn't the same as him, or any of the others. I couldn't harness the spirit of the beasts myself; I could merely talk to them. I had always scolded myself on how weak I was, saying I was no better then Sakura at fighting. I was more of a healer, but my team assured me that was fine.
"Something bothering you?" Kiba mumbled as I looked over at him, his eyes locked on anything in the opposite direction of me. He had a keen sense of smell, but the last time I saw him he wasn't able to sense emotions like a dog too. This could be a problem.
"No."
"Liar." He scoffed as we arrived at the house, which I unlocked and waved for them to go on ahead. Akamaru bolted into the house and found his way to where Amaris was quickly, excited barking filling the air as they sniffed each other and pranced around. They were so big that the ground shook when they bounded around, but I smiled anyways. Amaris looked happy. I found my gaze shifting over to Kiba, actually looking at him for the first time since I'd been back. His face had matured, but the familiar red stripes under his eyes still stood out against his skin color. He wasn't wearing his headband on his forehead and he didn't have his hooded jacket anymore, allowing his brown hair to fall freely in front of his eyes. I looked over his body to try and find where his headband was; eventually finding it tied around one of his thighs, which was a strange spot for Kiba to wear it.
"Checking me out?" Kiba questioned in a snide tone as my eyes widened. I looked up to meet his eyes with a glare.
"Not in a million years." I growled back as his eyelids lowered, his smile widening until his sharp teeth were showing.
"Really? Because I just caught you." He growled back as I crossed my arms. The look he was giving me made the hair on the back of my neck stand up again, and I couldn't help but fidget uncomfortably.
"I was looking for your headband."
"Mmm…" Kiba mumbled something inaudibly as his eyes drift up and down my body. I felt a blush cross my face as I glared at him.
"Mines still on my head, dumbass." I growled angrily as Kiba took a few steps closer to me. I felt my breath increase as he moved; his smirk still on his face. There was no way he could have known what I felt towards him. Unlike Hinata, Ino and Sakura I wasn't obvious about my feelings, avoiding making it obvious so it couldn't be used against me. I had told Hinata about it before I left…could she have told him? That wasn't like Hinata… but I always made sure to be rude to Kiba, so it wasn't suspected.
"I'm aware…" He whispered as he kept moving forward when I would take a step back. Eventually, I felt my back hit the wall, Kiba moving close enough that I could hear him breathing.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, mutt?" I demanded as I tried to sound intimidating, although the blush on my face and the way my voice cracked didn't help my case.
"Tch, don't be so rude. I just missed you." Kiba laughed as he moved his face closer to mine, his warm breath on my face as I tried to control my breathing.
"What are you talking about." I asked in amazement, still trying to keep a cruel tone as Kiba sighed, his smile fading.
"Look. I know you don't like me, but I didn't do this before you left and I wasn't sure you were going to come back alive. I'm not letting that happen again." As I tried to absorb his words, I felt Kiba's hand on the back of my neck, and in a split second he pulled me forward, pressing his lips softly to mine. A gasp of surprise escaped my lips while I stared with wide eyes as Kiba closed his eyes, squeezing me against him before pulling away reluctantly and stepping back. "You can hit me now if you want. It was worth it." He voice cracked as he smiled big and he put his hands in his pockets, but I didn't move. I continued to stare at him with wide eyes, my lips tingling. I had always wished I could run up to Kiba and kiss him, but I never imagined that he would kiss me, or that he would be so…gentle. I mean, it was Kiba, he was ruthlessly wild and relentless with everything. "So?" He asked as I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him.
"W-what…?"
"Are you going to hit me? I'll leave if you want."
"…I don't want to hit you…" I whispered as I looked up at him. His nose twitched a bit as he sniffed the air, his expression changing as he tensed up. I wasn't sure if he had tensed up because of what it meant when I said that I wasn't angry, or if he could smell and sense that he had stirred something in me that made my body spark with excitement.
"Tsuki…" He growled softly as he moved closer to me again, leaning down slightly so our noses were touching. "You…" Kiba tried to continue before I quickly moved up, biting his bottom lip hard as he gasped, his eyelids drooping slightly as I licked the wound, and swiftly moved to his neck, licking tenderly as Kiba shivered and gripped his jacket. I let my tongue slide gently down his neck before biting a sensitive spot on his collar bone, a growl rumbling in his throat as he put his palms against the wall on either side of me, tilting his head back slightly so I could bite more places. A knock on the door caught my attention as Akamaru and Amaris growled and barked. Reluctantly, I ducked under Kiba's arms I made my way to the door. "Dammit…" Kiba cursed as he stood up straight and leaned against the wall, peeking slightly to the side to see who was at the door as a loud yell broke the air.
"TSUKI!" The familiar voice of Naruto yelled as an orange blur tackled me to the ground in a hug.
"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, what are you doing here?" I smiled as I hugged Naruto back slightly until Sasuke grabbed him and pulled him up, Sakura holding out her hand to help me up.
"We wanted to see you!" Naruto yelled, his blue eyes shining.
"But we're going to meet at the ramen place soon…" I sighed as I looked at the clock.
"We ran into Shino and he said that you came in early." Sakura smiled as she turned to see Kiba standing in the corner watching them all. "Oh, someone's here." Sasuke and Naruto looked over at Kiba as Naruto waved and smiled.
"I thought you hated each other?" Sasuke asked as I shrugged and pointed to the two giant dogs off to the side.
"Whoaaaaa! Amaris got huge!" Naruto and Sakura yelled as they went over to pet her, her stumpy tail moving so fast that I didn't think it was possible. I guess she missed everyone too.
"How's Kakashi?" I mumbled with a small blush as everyone looked at me, Sasuke sighing. While it was true that I acted like I hated Kiba to avoid everyone seeing my feelings for him, I never tried to hide my infatuation for Kakashi, since it couldn't really be used against me. I never intended to act on it, so I let it show.
"He's fine…" Sasuke mumbled.
"I invited him to ramen!" Naruto yelled as Kiba growled quietly in the corner.
"I'm going to go. Akamaru, you can stay with Amaris for a bit if you want." Kiba mumbled as he walked past everyone, not bothering to say bye. Akamaru barked a thank you as the two of them went back to playing.
"It's a good thing we came to see you! It must have been awkward with the two of you hating each other!" Naruto laughed triumphantly as I sighed.
"Yeah…life saver." I mumbled as Sakura looked at me curiously.
"Why don't you two go early to ramen and get a seat?" Sakura said suddenly.
"Oh. I invited Hinata. Kiba was there when I invited her so he might come too." Naruto nodded as he seemed to be thinking hard.
"Jeez Naruto. You need 11 seats!"
"Eleven?"
"Tsuki, me, Sasuke, you, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Kiba, Kakashi, and save one for Shino just in case because the other two of the team were invited!"
"Right! I knew that!" Naruto laughed as he ran outside, Sasuke mumbling complaints as he followed him.
"You're not going too?" I asked as the two dogs came and sat beside me. I began petting both of their heads as Sakura snickered.
"What's going on?"
"What?" I asked as I looked at her with confusion. Although I had made plans with her and Ino, I actually didn't like Sakura that much. Small interactions with her were fine, but the way she whined about Sasuke when he showed no interest bothered me so I would tend to avoid her. Even Ino sometimes.
"Why was Kiba here alone?"
"I thought I made it obvious when I pointed to the dogs…" I mumbled as she smiled and crossed her arms.
"Yeah, but why wasn't Hinata here?"
"I told her Naruto was going to be at Ramen so she went to get ready. And I'm scared of bugs, so Shino left as soon as I got there." I sighed as I felt guilty again. It wasn't that I didn't like Shino, he just creeped the hell out of me. I had to get over that though, the bugs wouldn't come out unless he wanted them to.
"Are you sure that's it?"
"We should go if we want to get there before Naruto eats everything." I growled low, my patience slipping away. I mentally thanked fate as Hinata came to the door, smiling softly as she waved.
"Hello…"
"Hey Hinata. Ready to go?"
When the three of us got to the ramen shop, everyone was already there. Ino ran up and hugged me, Shikamaru waved as Choji and Naruto shoved food in their faces. Shino had come with them, and I made sure to smile and wave at him, trying to shove down the feeling of being creeped out so Kiba wouldn't give it away. Actually, Kiba wasn't there yet. Akamaru sniffed around and whined, but he sat down beside me anyway.
"It's good to see you again Tsuki." Kakashi smiled as he put his hand on top of my head, a stupid giggle escaping me as I blushed.
"Where's Kiba?" Hinata asked as Shino shrugged.
"He said he'd come later."
"MORE RAMEN PLEASE!" Choji and Naruto both yelled as they held up their bowls. I made sure to move over so that Hinata could sit next to Naruto, and I laughed at the blush on her face when I purposely moved closer so that they had to squish against each other. Sasuke didn't look impressed with Ino and Sakura on either side of him glaring at each other, but thankfully they didn't yell like usual. A long time passed since we had first got there when Kiba finally came in, Akamaru barking happily as he came and sat down beside me.
"Good thing you came now Kiba, Choji and Naruto might eat out the store." Shikamaru sighed as the two held up their bowls again for more. I laughed as I watched them eat, wondering if they even knew who was paying for it. They usually didn't until the bill showed up. They probably thought Kakashi was paying, but it was actually me. My team consisted of me, my older sister, and my older brother. Our sensei was our dad, and our mom had passed away when we were younger, but we had got a lot of money when she did. We weren't rich, but I could easily pay for the ramen for everyone, even Choji and Naruto's portion. Kiba ordered his bowl of ramen and ate it slowly as everyone started to go home. Shikamaru was the first to go, saying that he was tired, of course, and Sasuke left with him, probably annoyed by Sakura and Ino. Kakashi left with Sasuke, although they went separate ways when they left the building, and not long after they left, Naruto and Choji collapsed, having eaten too much. Shino helped Ino take Choji, and I saw Hinata fidget as she tried to ask if Sakura needed help with Naruto, but she didn't ask fast enough before they left the building. And with that, I sat with only Hinata and Kiba. Kiba excused himself to use the bathroom as I looked over at Hinata.
"Hey, Hinata?"
"Yes Tsuki?"
"Did you tell Kiba about me…?" Hinata looked up in shock as she shook her head.
"No, I wouldn't do that to you…"
"I see…"
"Why?" Hinata asked as I shook my head, Kiba coming and sitting back down. I picked up a piece of beef and gave it to Amaris, giving some to Akamaru as well.
"I…I should go home now." Hinata smiled as she went to stand up.
"Yeah, I probably should too. Are you finished Kiba?" I asked as I went over to pay the bill. He nodded and stood up.
"Yea. I'll walk you two home." He mumbled as we all left the building. Hinata and I lived quite close to each other, but Kiba lived on the other side of town. It was strange that he'd walk us home, since we were ninjas too, and could handle ourselves. Not that anything would happen inside the village.
"So Hinata, when are you going to tell Naruto how you feel?" I teased as her blush seemed to light up the darkness of the night.
"I-I-I… I c-can't do that…"
"Sure you can. It's not like Naruto is the kind of person to treat you any different if you tell him."
"You're one to talk about hiding your feelings Tsuki." Kiba remarked snidely as I glared at him.
"I don't know what you're talking about, mutt."
"Stop calling me mutt." He growled angrily as Hinata fidgeted.
"Please don't fight you two…look, we're at my house…" She pleaded softly as we sighed and said goodbye to her.
"You don't have to walk with me anymore." I remarked as Kiba snorted, continuing to follow me to my house.
"Tch, I know that."
"Then go away." I rolled my eyes as we came up to my house, Amaris running inside as soon as I opened the door. Akamaru seemed to whine quietly as I went inside the house. I wasn't sure why we were still acting like we hated each other, but when I went to close the door without saying bye, Kiba caught it before it closed, glaring up at me.
"No."
"Kiba, it's late, go home." I glared back as he pushed on the door. He easily overpowered me and pushed the door open, taking a step in. Akamaru sat outside with his head down until I sighed angrily and I stepped back.
"Akamaru you can come inside." The dog walked inside, his tail wagging as Kiba closed the door, locking it as he turned to me, his glare still in place.
"Why do you keep glaring at me, mutt." A growl escaped Kiba as he frowned, putting his hands in his pockets.
"Stop calling me that."
"Why did you lock my door, you're supposed to leave."
"I don't want to." Kiba retorted as he slowly started walking towards me. The way he was acting made me nervous, and I wasn't sure what made him act like this, but my temper slightly got away from me as I pulled out a kunai and threw it at him, which he easily caught with his finger and tossed it aside.
"Kiba, piss off…" I instructed angrily as he smiled.
"Is that all you have?" He laughed as I found myself backed against the wall again. Kiba stopped just in front of me as he lowered his eyes to stare at me.
"What?"
"I'm trying to figure you out." He stated simply, his eyes stared down at me as I crossed my arms.
"There's nothing to figure out."
"Don't be so angry," Kiba murmured as he moved closer so that his mouth was close to my ear, his breath hot on my neck as he whispered into my ear. "What changed from earlier?"
"You tell me." I mumbled as I tried to swallow past my now dry throat, my heart racing as he lightly moved his nose down my neck, stopping when his face was resting on my shoulder..
"I thought that I had just caught you off guard. When Naruto burst in, I thought my chance was over. That you'd go back to hating me again after you went over what happened." He whispered against my skin, gently dragging his sharp incisor over my neck, but not biting. I shivered. "It seems I was right, so I had to do this." He shrugged and I could feel his lips curve into a smile against my skin, gently nipping my neck as I clenched my fists and bit my tongue.
"I don't know what to say Kiba…" I mumbled as he smirked against my skin.
"Well. I like when you say my name. Let's start with that." He murmured as he nipped along my collar bone, his hands against the wall to support him. My heart started to race with every gentle bite he did, and I could feel my body heating up, heat pooling in between my legs. Kiba chuckled, the sound rumbling against my neck as Kiba moved away from my neck and put his nose to mine, staring into my eyes. "Come on…say it." He whispered as he leaned in and kissed me gently, his lips tasted like the ramen he had just ate, and when he forced his tongue past my lips, he let out a small noise. His tongue swirled with mine as I caved and started to kiss him back, sucking on his tongue as he made a noise that resembled a bark and pulled back, smirking at me. His eyes had a soft amused look about them as he put his hand on my cheek, rubbing his thumb softly across my bottom lip. I couldn't stop a giggle as his touch tickled, my lip tingling as I bit down on his thumb to stop him. Kiba raised an eyebrow at me but didn't pull his hand back. His smile had faded as he stared at me with his thumb in my mouth, the softness in his eyes fading away and becoming foggy with the beginning of lust. Removing my teeth from his thumb, I didn't open my mouth to let him pull it back. Instead, I moved my tongue to lick at his thumb, sucking on it slightly as I did. Kiba's breathing started to get faster as he watched me, his eyes becoming foggier. Smirking at the effect, I decided to taunt him more as I moved my tongue faster around his thumb before opening my mouth slightly and looking up at him with lidded eyes.
"Kiba…" I whispered in a husky voice, sending shivers down Kiba as he let out a low growl and pulled his hand back. Still growling, he snaked his hands around my waist and lift me up as I squeaked and squirmed in his grip. He ignored my protests and nipped at my hip bone as he made his way easily through the darkness in my house. He opened the first door he found, probably not even knowing that it was indeed my room and threw me on the bed, closing the door behind him and locking that one too.
"Don't want any interruptions…" Kiba cooed as he made his way over to me, his knees on either side of me as he hovered above me. The wall that I naturally kept up shattered as I stared up at Kiba straddling my hips, preventing my escape as an embarrassed look crossed his face. He didn't look away, but he seemed to pout, a blush blooming over his cheeks as he timidly put his pointer finger against my lips. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Is that your puppy dog look?"
"You wouldn't be able to resist my puppy dog look, I thought it was fair to try an in between look." Kiba smirked as I rolled my eyes at him, pushing his hand away from my mouth. His pout turned into a frown when I did, but he shrugged it off when I trailed my hands up to his chest, lightly moving downwards as I reached the bottom of his shirt. I was about to tug on it, but Kiba didn't give me a chance before he pulled it off and threw it to the side. I accidently let a purring noise escape me as I stared at him, causing him to snicker. He was built, as a ninja had to be, but it was the perfect kind of muscular, several scars marking his skin from different fights. I ran my hands up from his hips as I pulled myself up, wrapping my arms around his back to help support myself. I didn't give him warning before I bit down hard on his collar bone causing him to yelp, his head falling back when I sucked on the spot. I continued to bite different places, slowly making my way down before I bit his hip bone, causing him to jerk his hips against my chest, his hard member pressing against me as he did.
"Now, can't you think of something better to put in my mouth other then your finger…Kiba?" I murmured against his hip, my hands moving to the button of his pants, making quick work of it before I pulled them down slightly, suppressing a giggle when it became clear that he wasn't wearing boxers. His member all but popped out of his pants when I pulled them away, letting go of my bite on his hip I looked up at him with the best puppy dog look I could come up with on the spot. His eyes bore down into mine, glossy and anticipating as he bit down on his lower lip, his long incisor showing. I smiled as I moved down to lick the base of his member, slowly licking up to the tip without releasing eye contact. Kiba's mouth parted slightly as he nodded slightly, unable to find his words while he watched me. "Well…? Anything?" I teased as I put the tip of his erection into my mouth, pressing my tongue over the head as Kiba's eyes rolled back, his head lolling back as he quickly reached his hands out to the wall behind us to help maintain his balance.
"Hnng…" Was all he managed to reply, his body tensing up while he tried to control his urge to buck his hips. Rewarding his self control, I put as much as I could in my mouth and began to slowly bob my head, sucking gently so that I could tease him a little bit more. Kiba moaned as he pulled his head forward so that he could watch me suck on him. When I realized that his eyes were back on me I looked up at him, meeting his eyes before I started to go faster. "Ngh…harder…" Kiba pleaded softly, his breathing becoming laboured. Obeying him, I began to suck harder, earning a long moan from Kiba as he closed his eyes, his eyebrows knotting together as he moaned again. His member got harder in my mouth, his breathing more frantic as his control on his body faded away and he bucked his hips with the bobbing of my head, making the pace faster. "Oh, fuck me…" Kiba growled huskily. He completely lost his rhythm as he inhaled sharply, his body going rigid as he thrust franticly. Kiba threw his head back as he let out a scream of pleasure, the words unintelligible with the string of moans that flowed out of him. His member hardened even more in my mouth as I tried to match his frantic thrusting, finally keeping up with him as a warm liquid exploded in my mouth. I cringed at the salty taste but I swallowed it anyways as Kiba's thrusting slowed, and then stopped as I let go of him and fell back against the pillows.
"Kiba?" I whispered with a smile as he adjusted his pants, doing up the button before collapsing to the side, lying beside me as he tried to catch his breath. He tried to say something, but nothing came out. I watched him swallow a few times before he let out a long exhale, opening his eyes and staring over at me.
"Yeah?" When I didn't say anything he raised an eyebrow. "What? Tsuki?"
"I'm sorry." I smiled softly at him as I looked at the ceiling. "I've never hated you, Kiba. Ever." The heavy breathing beside me stopped as Kiba managed to control it. Or maybe he just stopped breathing for a second. I felt the bed move as he sat up and looked over at me.
"What?" He questioned softly as I ran my eyes over his muscles, almost forgetting what I said that he had questioned.
"I've never hated you. It's the opposite actually. I've always really liked you, Kiba. A lot." Kiba stared at me with wide eyes as I took a deep breath at my confession. It's not like it was a huge deal to confess this since I just sucked him off. I sat up so that I was staring at him and smiled softly. " . ."
"But…I don't get it." Kiba whispered as he continued to stare into my eyes. I felt myself blush at his gaze and inwardly cursed myself. Kiba snickered.
"What?" I glared as he pointed to me with a shrug.
"You're blushing now, telling me this. Yet you didn't hesitate to look me in the eyes when you were…" Kiba shivered with a small smirk. "Busy sucking on me." He finished as I blushed more.
"Shut up, Kiba." I snapped. Kiba held up his hands as he laughed.
"Sorry, sorry. But are you going to explain?"
"I didn't want it to be used against me. And I didn't want to be like Sakura and Ino."
"Hm." Kiba mumbled as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I guess I understand the first part. But the second doesn't make sense."
"Why? They're annoying when it comes to Sasuke…"
"Yeah." Kiba nodded before he smiled and looked at me with soft eyes, moving closer so that his nose was against mine. He sure liked to do that. "But there's a difference. Sasuke doesn't like them." Kiba mumbled as he tiled his head to kiss me softly before pulling away.
"Kiba…"
"Mmm, I really do like when you say my name." He smirked as he rest his forehead against mine. I rolled my eyes at him before backing up and getting to my feet. "Where are you going Tuski?"
"I was going to walk with you out…" I replied confused as I turned to unlock the door, opening it to see Amaris and Akamaru sitting there wagging their tails. They barked frantically in excitement, I guess they heard my confession. Maybe a lot more with their sense of hearing.
"I want to stay here tonight." Kiba said simply as I blushed and turned to look at him.
"What? You can't sta-" I turned around to see Kiba sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands in between his knees as he leaned forward slightly. His eyes were glossy as he looked up at me sadly, a small, unbelievably cute pout on his face.
"Please?" Kiba pleaded as I sighed frustrated and walked over to him and sitting beside him on the bed. He laughed triumphantly and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me with him as he fell backwards. Akamaru and Amaris both came into the room and jumped on the bed, curling up by our feet.
"Unbelievable."
"Heh, I told you that you wouldn't be able to resist my puppy dog look!"
"Shut up and go to sleep…"
"Alright." Kiba laughed slightly as I rolled over, tucking my head into the crook of his neck. "Tsuki?" Kiba asked as he moved his head close to mine, a smirk on his face.
"Yeah?"
"Are we done pretending now?" We sat in silence as I thought over his question. Snuggling closer to him and inhaling his unique scent I sighed and kissed his neck.
"Yeah…we're done pretending now, Kiba." A smile crossed his lips as he leaned over to kiss the top of my head, sleep taking over him quickly. Sleep didn't come as quickly for me, but I was okay with cuddling longer until I fell asleep.
