Kankuro cursed, just his luck! It had been bright and clear when he left, now it was dark and cloudy, and to his extreme annoyance, pouring big, fat droplets. He sighed and tucked his groceries underneath his shirt. To prevent his hard-earned spoils, from getting damaged by the rain.

The brunette stopped and looked around, but saw nothing. Chalking it up to the rain filling his shoes, he continued on.

Come. Please.

A warmth seemed to fill him as his eyes grew unfocused, his mind turning into a hazy dream. There was a soft foreign voice inside his mind, calling him, begging him toward an unknown destination

Sneakers hit the ground softly as he walked. He didn't know where he was going, all that rang through to him was that gentle voice and the sweet scent that was slowly taking over his sense of smell.

Kankuro came to the out skirts of town and then walked into the forest that surrounded it. He was filled with a strong sensation. Like butterflies, swarming in his stomach, more and more with each step he took.

The brunette came into a clearing in the trees, his heart skipped a beat and another strange feeling filled the muscled body. He couldn't quiet the sensation until his mind cleared enough for him to understand it. Excitement.

He glanced upon the clearing his attention being caught by the small pool, raindrops making rippling patterns along the normally calm surface. But his attention was caught by the figure in the middle of it.

There in the shallow clear water was a boy, the small form was lying there limply, red hair matted to his skin, heavy from the water and rain. The light shining through some of the clouds hit the boy's skin revealing it to be a pure white, like the first snow. The boy seemed to be hovering on the edge of reality, held by a delicate thread. Without thinking the brunette stepped into the cold water, it brushed past his knees but he paid it no mind, even though his sneakers would probably be ruined from his excursion.

Kankuro was in a daze as he lifted the naked boy in his arms, having dropped his groceries an unknown time before.

The rain was now forgotten.

The numbing cold that had been so prominent in his mind was now a fleeting thought.

Everything.

It all seemed to fade away into nothing.

All that seemed to matter was the slumbering boy he had cradled against his chest...

And the sweet, delicious, intoxicating scent now surrounding him.

A/N: So, tell me how it was, I like this one better. Mm-hm. I'll probably have the next chapter up soon. Oh also, I'm taking a pole, ShinoKiba or ShinoShika? Or, KibaShika? If you have any other suggestions, let me know.

Ja ne.
