Chapter 1: Home Relationship
Everyone is 18 apart from Team Gai (who are 19) and jonins, Sasuke has returned and in my story kids start academy at age 9 and leave at 12, just thought you should know, k?
Kiba was pissed… and confused.
Now when an Inuzuka is pissed all hell breaks loose, but when an Inuzuka is pissed and confused the world will start to fall apart (Lol! Not really, or we'd be dead!)
Naruto had just announced that he and Hinata were officially dating and Kiba had masses of killer intent rolling off him.
Not that anybody noticed and if they did they didn't really care…
Apart from Shino - who was standing next to him - who froze when he heard what Naruto had said and at the amount of killer intent coming from Kiba.
He knew of Kiba's crush on Hinata and immediately grabbed his friend's shoulder to prevent any violence.
Shino dragged Kiba over to the new couple and congratulated them and dragged Kiba into an alley.
Sparing Hinata one last glanced…
Kiba noted that when he looked at her he felt happiness for her and Naruto and silently congratulated her at completing her quest for love.
He was confused…
When he tried to feel love for Hinata all he saw was a 9 year old girl with short white hair, a grey ribbon pulling it into a messy ponytail and big brown eyes.
He knew who that was, it was his first friend who had moved away a few days before the first day of academy called Ren - Haruki (Means Love - Shining Brightly).
Flashback
Ren was trying to get Kiba's attention as he rambled on about the two of them going to the academy together.
Just then something inside Ren snapped and she burst into floods of tears in the middle of the street.
Kiba stopped, Ren was practically a boy, she never cried, much less in public, as it would hurt her pride.
Something was seriously wrong.
He grabbed Ren and dragged her shaking body round a corner.
He propped her up against a wall, "What's wrong?" he asked, slightly panicked.
"W-w-well…" she began "I'm moving to The Village Hidden in the Clouds tomorrow!" she sobbed.
"We can't go to academy together!"
Kiba was shocked but held her close as she cried.
"Don't worry we'll still be best friends" he said.
She smiled gratefully at Kiba's comforting words.
"Wow!" Kiba thought "I wish she had smiled more often, because this may be the last time I see it…"
They sat there for as long as they could just talking in each other's arms.
"Why does this feel so… right?" were the thoughts of the two innocent nine year olds.
End Flashback
That was the last time he'd seen Ren…
He was brought out of his thoughts by none other than Shino.
"You okay?" he asked, knowing of Kiba's crush.
"Yeah…" Kiba muttered "I'm okay"
Shino sighed
"I'm happy for Hinata… I think… I mean this is what she's always wanted, right?" Kiba muttered.
Shino smiled at him. (Not that anyone could tell anyway :P)
"You think of her as just a friend now, what changed your mind?" he could read his friend like a book.
"Just someone I met a while ago" Kiba smiled and with that he got up and left.
3 Weeks Later
Kiba was on guard duty… again.
He'd pissed off Tsunade and she had put him on guard duty… again.
Only today was different, he was to expect someone at 12:00.
At 11:55 he saw a short figure slowly advancing towards the gate.
A few minutes later he could make out the persons features.
He almost choked at the sight.
The person was female.
The female had long white hair and big brown eyes.
The girl wore a long-sleeve black top, jeans, black boots and had a claw-blade at each of her sides. (Like Asuma's knuckle knives)
She walked up to Kiba and smirked "Good afternoon, Ren Haruki here on business with the Hokage"
She walked right past Kiba and his hanging jaw.
"Are you coming or not?" she asked her smirk turning into a grin.
Kiba followed like a lost puppy to the Hokage's office, with a confused Akamaru whimpering at his side. (When the two were friends Kiba had yet to get Akamaru)
Ren didn't even bother knocking as she was expected.
"Ahh! Miss Haruki, it's a pleasure to meet you" Tsunade beamed "Please have a seat!"
Ren sat while Kiba stood dumbly in the corner, barely acknowledged.
Tsunade fumbled for something and when that something was found she stared at it for a moment. (Files on 'Ren Haruki')
Tsunade frowned "I'm sorry for what happened…"
Ren scowled, obviously not liking where this was going.
She shrugged "Don't sweat it… now about my reinstatement as a Konoha ninja!"
"Yes, there should be no complications just a few documents to sign!" Tsunade smiled at the girl.
"Mm hm" Ren sighed "what will my rank be?"
"Considering your previous rank in Cloud… jonin" Tsunade stated.
"Thank you Hokage-sama" Ren said formally.
"Now just sign these papers, come here tomorrow morning at 9 am and now I'll let Kiba over here…"
She motioned towards the corner "…Show you around, Miss Haruki!"
Ren stood and bowed formally "Please called me Ren, Hokage-sama, no need for formalities"
Tsunade chuckled "Then called me by my name as well, Ren"
"Of course Tsunade-sama, good afternoon" and with that Ren dragged Kiba out the door.
Once they were down the hallway Ren nudged Kiba and laughed "Miss me?"
Kiba laughed too "Wanna grab lunch?"
The girl grinned "Yeah! I'm starving!"
The two made their way to Ichiraku's and caught up on the missed years.
"Where are your clan, Ren?" Kiba asked
Ren's expression darkened "I came alone…" she muttered.
Kiba immediately shut up at the dark aura surrounding his friend and quickly moved to another subject.
"Hey! How about I introduce you to my friends?" Kiba asked.
Ren sulked "So I'm not your friend anymore!" she joked
"W-w-wait I-I d-didn't-" Kiba waved his hands franticly.
Ren paid for their food and grabbed Kiba's arm "I was joking, I'd love to meet your friends!"
Kiba sighed in relief and grinned "Come on, let's go!" he yelled
"Same old Kiba…" Ren giggled.
Rookie 9 and Team Gai were more than pleased to meet Ren.
That is… until they met the girls, Sakura, Hinata, Ino and Tenten.
They eyed her up and down inspecting her.
"What the hell are they doing?!" Ren hissed to Kiba.
"How the hell should I know!" he hissed back.
They looked at a moment longer and squealed (Yes even Hinata!)
"Another Girl!" they screamed.
The girls crowded round poking and prodding poor Ren.
Ren just stood there open mouthed.
"We have to meet up, Ren! How about you give us your number and we'll call you to meet up sometime, yeah?"
"Erm, sure" Ren replied
After exchanging numbers, the girls bid they're goodbyes leaving with promises of phone calls.
"Oooookkkkkaaaaayyyyyyy…." Came the drawled voice of a bored Kiba.
Ren giggled then she looked at her mobile "Oh shit!" she gasped.
"What?" Kiba asked.
"I got nowhere to stay!" Ren moaned.
"Well you came stay with me if you want" Kiba said
Ren focused on Kiba for a minute then growled and angrily threw a kunai straight at Tsunade's face on the Hokage Mountain.
She muttered something under her breath that Kiba did not catch…
Something along the lines of "Stupid… matchmaking… Hokage… met… already… hate… woman… get… her… thought… we were… gonna… PERVERT!"
The Hokage sneezed straight after hearing a growl and a thump.
She turned and saw a Kunai go dead straight into her forehead on the Hokage mountain.
"Erm Shizune make sure there are 12 ANBU's surrounding my office tomorrow at 9am!" Tsunade called.
She muttered under her breath "Stupid violent girl I was only trying to help, and I am not a pervert like my stupid teammate!"
(If you don't get it, Tsunade purposely didn't give Ren a house so she would have to stay with Kiba because she wants them to get together. Ren caught on and got cross so Tsunade wants ANBU surrounding her office when Ren goes to see her at 9am in case she's still angry)
Kiba peered at her closely "You okay?"
Ren looked up and chuckled "Er, yeah just having a moment there and I'd love to stay at your house, thanks"
