Author's Note(s): like i always say, it may help to read GreenEyed Monster prior to this story, but no one's holding a gun to yer head, geez... pleez R&R! flames will be glared at, then pouted at, then eat a hot pocket at... no, those arent nearly as good as blueberry muffins. i like muffins... GIMME THE MUFFINS AND NO ONE GETS HURT! also the characters r around 16 or 17, and shino is in his original outfit cuz i like it, and hayate is alive, and the sand sibs r hanging out. Also, when someone says Kitsune, they r referring to Tobias Loki.
Chapter 1: Shino POV
Probably one of the strangiest things in the universe in the concept of love. With some people, I find that I love them, but I really don't like them. This is the way I feel of Inuzuka Kiba. We have been teammates for quite a while now, and when I first met him, I really couldn't stand him at all. But as time went on, he kind of grew on me, like a hyper fungus. I love Tobias Loki, and I have always liked her. People say that there is such a thing as love at first sight. I don't think so. If you really love someone, you must get to know them and find a non-physical reason to keep them close to you and not murder them because they don't ever shut up, or they turn into a giant wolf when someone makes a "bitch" joke about them behind their backs. Love can really get you into trouble.
Loki and I walked side by side, her small, soft hand held in mine. She leaned on me, her head laying against my arm, as she couldn't reach my shoulder. I looked down at her, watching her silently. My heart swelled with love for her. My Kitsune.
"Darling," I loved the way she said 'darling' so that it came out like 'dah-lin'. So sweet. "When I saw Hinata at the marketplace today, she asked if we wanted to meet her and Naruto for dinner at the Red Kimono tonight. I told her I would call and tell her around 5 o'clock in case you weren't "feeling well." Of course I knew that Kitsune had lied to Hinata in case I didn't feel like putting up with the Loud-mouth tonight. Her green eyes looked up at me twinkling, waiting patiently to hear my opinion.
"We'll go if you want to. You picked up some Advil at the market today, right?" I asked with a smirk. Kitsune chuckled and nodded her blue and brown head lightly.
"I saw Kiba today," I started. I don't talk alot to most people, but my Kitsune isn't like most people. "He seems very sad lately. Do you think that the Red Kimono lets in animals and a little dog, too?" She laughed from deep inside of her. Kitsune hugged me, a soft smile still resting on her pink lips.
Instead of hugging her back, I snatched her up and slung her over my shoulder as if she had been wounded in battle. A suprised yelp jerked out of Kitsune, then followed by more musical laughter. She accepted her fate and relaxed to enjoy her free ride. I held her up with a handing protectivly on one of her legs, and the other dangerously close to her ass. Good thing Iruka wasn't around. He would happily beat the life out of me.
"Speaking- well, thinking- of Papa reminds me that I need to go pick some stuff up from his house. I'm running out of clothes. You know how I hate having to wear your cousin's things." Since she had bitten me, I had picked up many of the traits of lupins. Naturally, my little Kitsune and I had highly developed senses. One of these was a the ability to read people like open books. It was especially easy to understand the thoughts of another lupin, even easier when you spend every single day of your life with them.
I pouted safe within my jacket. "Well who says you need underwear?" I laughed, not really caring who heard anymore. Kitsune huffed and tried to hit me. Thanks to her current position, she managed to slap me in the ass.
"You little perv! Could you at least wait til we are safely concealed behind a bench or in Choji's backyard to do that? No wonder why everyone stares at us..." I said and scanned the crowd of people walking along the road, too. They stared at the love-sick teenagers who couldn't keep it in their pants until they were safe behind closed doors. I heard somone whisper that going past us one day, thanks to lupin hearing. I really have heard this before. Really. No kidding.
"Baby, I'm kinda worried about ole' Kiba. Ever since Naruto and Hinata hooked up he's been diffrent. Its not helping that Papa is dating his mom, either." Kitsune's voice had lost its joy, and I sobered up quickly, knowing that it was now time to be serious. "I spoke to Akamaru and Hana, and they are both worried about him, too. Poor thing needs himself a girl." For a moment we were silent.
Kiba had been on my mind a lot lately. Like I said earlier, I cared for Kiba. He was my old teammate anyways. Inuzuka Kiba had always loved Hinata, yet he had never told her so, although he wasn't shy about telling me about how he planned to sweep her off her feet, or how he wanted to just take her right where she stood. Dog-breath really loved her. Of course, Kiba had liked almost every girl he met. My Kitsune had caught his eye with her animal magnetisum, and love of dogs. He had no idea she was a lupin at that time. Temari, the sand's femme fatale, had stolen his heart with her exoticness. Everyone except Sakura, really. That girl's annoying as fuck. They were made for each other. Hinata would have been a strange combination with Kiba, but who she was with now isn't that much diffrent than the dog-boy.
"Yeah, I know. Well, Saria loves Iruka, and Kiba's happy she found someone after so long. Maybe bringing Kiba to so close to Naruto is a bad idea," My voice dripped with doubt, and Loki sighed again.
"Well, maybe we should just go with Kiba tonight. I'll pay. The Red Kimono is always full of cute girls. Who knows, the next Inuzuka might just be waiting in there for him," I caught a bit of her optimism, and also hoped for Kiba to find someone. At least for the night.
"Good idea, you always know a hot girl when you see one."
"You know I haven't done anything like that since I met you, Breaks my little puppy-dog heart that you would even consider that," Kitsune said, a soft whimper escaped her lips. Was she serious? Sarcasm is a fickle beast. I swung her down off my shoulder and looked at her face. Like always, the entire left side was hidden behind a thick veil of cerculean hair. I reached out and sweeped it out of the way to get a clear view of her gentle face. An evil smile had consumed the female werewolf's face. Loki, my Kitsune, burst out laughing.
"Oh my GAWD, I can't believe you took that so seriously! Really, darling, you look like you absolutely despise yourself! Take it easy, I was only playing with you," she said between chuckles. Kitsune stood tip-toes and kissed me, hard. Of course, I kissed back with just as much enthusiasm. We had to stop for a minute to catch our breath, and everyone, I mean EVERYONE was staring at us.
"What is the matter with kids these days? Listening to their Duran Duran, and making poo-pies for the fair? Back in MY day, we were civilized and kept our tongues in our own mouths, and waited til marriage..." Said a rather creepy looking old man, hunched over and glaring at us with cataract-covered eyes. Now, I've never heard that one before. Might as well add that to the book. Loki looked up at me, her green eyes clouded in confusion. The words didn't need to be said; they hung in the air more obvious than a neon sign: WTF!
Hyena laughs filled Konoha as two teenagers howled in laughter at an old man complaining about teens listening to Duran Duran, and making poo-pies for the fair. First of all, no one over 40 likes Duran Duran, and I have no idea what a poo-pie is, or why the fair would judge something like that.
Final Note(s): the duran duran thing was in i luv halloween, a manga that i adore. i no that shino is kinda ooc, but he is older now, and a lot happier with a girl that he loves and can tolerate his buggies. Also, I think that i may b confusing people when i say "loki" or "kitsune" they r the same person. also, i dont no kiba and hana's mom's name, so im just gonna call her Tsume. didnt really no what to call her, and i read that name some where. soon to come is drunken kiba, dancing queen neji, lee's pink-haired woman, and bug-sprayed shino. poor baby... my beta is unable to go online cuz he's grounded ( Ten Ten: ha ha, thats what u get for not being a good boy in class!) so please forgive some of my grammar and spelling mistakes. this is done on notepad without spellcheck.
