The young Inuzuka walked out after Akamaru, pulling his hoody over his bare upper body in the process. It was a warm cool day in Konoha. The village was once again peaceful after recovering from their loss of Sasuke. Damn him, he always thought he was better than everyone else. He sat on an old tree stump, and watched Akamaru head over behind a bush. Kiba was confused. By whom? Kankuro. The kid came off as, well, sarcastic, a bully almost. yet he showed up to aid Kiba when fighting Sakubo and Sakon. Sure, he claimed it was just for a mission, but was that the truth?

Akamaru reappeared, sniffing around in the grass. A few leaves fell from a tree nearby. Akamaru perked up, now fixating his gaze at the tree, and began to growl.

Kiba slowly withdrew a Kunai knife from his shuriken holder, and headed towards the tree.

"No need for that" a familiar voice sounded from the vegetation. A black blur jumped from the height, his purple painted face milimeters from Kiba's.

"Dammit Kankuro! What the hell are you doing here?!" Kiba yelled, falling back from his previous position.

"Nothing really. Just inspecting this village of your's. I didn't realize this was your yard." he said coolly, walking and inspecting the grassy feild.

"Well it is, now leave" Kiba responded gruffly. He reclaimed his spot on the tree stump.

"Y'know" Kankuro said, now sitting next to Kiba on his stump. "You could be a little nicer to the guy who saved your hide" He leaned in to Kiba's ear,sending chills through his body. his breath heated up his earlobe. Kiba was frozen, why? He didn't know. "Maybe even a little repayment?"

The situation was growing awkward fast. Kiba was still frozen, and Kankuro had resumed his position of staring off into the diestance next to him.

"You're a freak" Kiba said, scratching his ear. pretending the last event hadn't happened.

"Not really" Kankuro replied. there was no talking after that. Akamaru, no longer sensing danger in the air, laid his head down for an outside nap. Kankuro kicked Kiba in the shin, resulting him to fall of the stump. At the last moment Kankuro came down and slid his arm inbetween Kiba's backside and the ground, grabbing onto his waist. Kiba was once again frozen. Kankuro lifted him back up, and scooted him to his previous position. "I just like messin' with ya."

Kankuro got up and headed down to the nearest street. "I'll see ya around" he said holding his hand up as he walked away.

Kiba was still frozen. His heart was pounding, and his throat was one big lump. He bent his head down, to catch his breath. Akamaru was either asleep or ignoring the entire scene. Who was Kankuro, and was he... No. But he did seem awful flirtacious towards Kiba. A butterfly slowly flew by. But that didn't matter anyways, because Kiba was a guy, and guys weren't into each other.

Kiba gave one last doubtful glance towards Kankuro, and he slowly headed out of eyesight.

A/N: Yeah, so I'm adding more. Just keep on the watch. And yes, I am a HELPLESS KankuroxKiba fan. They're just so cute together. So sorry this was short, I just wanted to get a real quick feel for each of these characters.
