I know that I haven't really written in a long while but I had a lot of things going on in my life. Now for the KibaIno goodness

Nothing could go wrong today. The birds were singing their songs in the sky. The sky, that Shikamaru would have died for had he been able to, with white fluffy clouds lingering over the city. The poor man had been stuck in his office for a week since Naruto had become Hokage. One of the council's decisions so that Naruto would have a harder time getting the one thing he wanted. Little did they know that the Nara held his friends above his sleeping time. Man, were their faces red. But that's beside the point. The point is, the day is wonderful, which is why I'm taking a walk.

I'm without my usual companion though. It still hurts to think about it but he got hurt on our last mission. Thankfully I don't have to take any without him.

As I look up, I noticed I was I a flower field. Gorgeous really, the kind you would never think really exists. I walk more into the center of the field and fall hard.

"What the fucking hell was that," I yelled wiping off dirt. Looking down, I paled. 'shit.'

Yamanaka Ino was the thing I tripped over. Lying there peacefully before me, I hoped to any god above me that she didn't wake up. Staring at her, man was she pretty. I guess I was always in a fight with her so I didn't notice. She really filled out since we were genin. Taking a deep breath to calm my stupid hormones, it hit me. Something that I really wished was not there. Hoping it was a mistake, I took another deep breath. It was there alright.

I instantly dropped to my knees and inspected Ino. Lightly touching her stomach, I felt the tight black material squish under my finger tips and dying them red. My eyes widened seeing the red fluid run down the soft curve of her body. I picked her up as gently as I could in the panic that had set in. Carrying her bridal style, ignoring the butterflies in my stomach, I ran to the hospital jumping over roof after roof to take me to my destination.

Almost breaking the door as I busted through, Sakura was glaring at me about to yell. Then she noticed her best friends lying limp in my hands with blood dripping, at too fast a pace for my liking, from her. She grabbed Ino from me and put her on a gurney, yelling this and that at every nurse that was around. I watched as they pushed Ino away from me and into another room.

I waited for what seemed like hours in the waiting room, covered in blood. Blood that wasn't mine, blood that didn't even come from someone I knew that well. I had already convinced myself that I had to make sure Ino was alright for Hinata's sake not mine.

When Sakura came out, I leaped from my seat to see what happened. "Thank you so much Kiba. If she was a second later she would have bleed out before we could've done anything. " Taking a breath, "what can I say she graduated with us. I'm sure any one of us would have brought her in, I was just the first one to her." I felt proud that I had saved her life. Me, not anyone else, just me. Realizing that I had been there for far too long, I said, "Bye Sakura. See ya later. I have to tell Hinata what happened, she'll be worried." Turning to walk out of that establishment, I stopped when I heard Sakura.

"You can't. Kiba you didn't save Ino. You just saved a kunnoichi in a field," she gave me a stern look that said I needed to play along with her. As I nodded, Tsunade came out of the room looking like she had done a lot in there. "Thank you Kiba. You really got there just in time. I'm sure operative 29526 is glad you came along just in time." I nodded my head as she walked on by.

"Sorry Kiba, I know you would have wanted to boast but tomorrow Ino will turn up like always, looking as if nothing happened." I looked at her as if her head was on wrong. Those were not wounds that heal over night. They take time and require rest. Then two words she spoke were blaring in my head LIKE ALWAYS. How many times had this happened? How many times had I treated her creuelly when she was hurt? I had so many questions to ask and only one person able to answer them right now. Looking up at Sakura, "come on were going to lunch so you can explain what I have been missing." I grabbed her arm and took her out of that place.
