I always thought it was kinda a waste. I mean Naruto got Hinata (The Last is so kawaiiii!); Sasuke got Sakura (sorry, Sakura, but I still think your little 'chase Sasuke for the rest of my life' thing is kinda pathetic); Shikamaru got Temari (saw it coming!), Sai got Ino (can't say I saw that coming); heck, even Chouji got Karui (it's like, how the hell did that happen?!). Neji died, if not, I'm sure Tenten and him would've…ya know. And Shino… (clears throat). Masashi decided to leave poor little Kiba all alone. I object, Your Honor! Kiba deserves happiness too! So I'm gonna make it for him!
This takes place after the war, so Kiba's, like, 19 or 20 or so.
Chapter 1: Bored of Being Bored
"WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING IN BED?!" Tsume Inuzuka screamed. "Mrmm…." Kiba mumbled, turning in his bed. He wasn't ready to wake up quite yet. "What the-" Kiba practically jumped out of bed; his mother had just poured a jar of ice-cold water on his face.
"It's too early in the morning to start your bitchin'!" Kiba whined. "Bitching?! Will you get that lazy behind off that bed and live your life? It's 11am, for goodness' sake!" Tsume growled, an anime vein popping on her forehead. "Yeah, so?" Kiba dared to mumble. Tsume lost it. Let's just say Kiba made it to the bathroom on time…
About 30 minutes later, Kiba walked into the dining room with Akamaru. "What's for breakfast?" he asked. "Breakfast? Oh for heaven's sake, there's a plate of pancakes right in front of you!" his mother sighed. "Oh yeah," Kiba slurred lazily, and sat down to eat. Akamaru whined a bit. "This is human food, Akamaru," Kiba said. Akamaru gave him puppy-dog eyes. Kiba laughed. "You're way too old for that!" he said, but sacrificed his breakfast anyway.
"I'm off!" Kiba said, standing up. "Wait!" Hana said, running up to Kiba with a picnic basket. "I made you lunch, Otoutou-san," she beamed. "Thanks," Kiba smiled at her. He loved his older sister. "Aren't you supposed to be gone by now, Kiba?" Tsume snarled from the kitchen. Ugh. His mom on the other hand… Hana offered up an apologetic smile in place of their mother. "Have fun, son! And get a girlfriend while you're at it…if that's even possible!" Tsume snickered. "Goodbye, Mother." SLAM!
"I'm bored," Kiba announced as he walked down the streets of Konoha with Akamaru by his side. Akamaru barked in agreement. "Let's see if Shino's free," Kiba suggested and Akamaru responded in the same manner. They reached Shino's house a few moments later. Kiba raised a loose fist to knock on Shino's door, but Shino opened the door at that exact moment, and Kiba ended up knocking on his forehead, almost knocking off his glasses. (A/N: Unfortunately…) "S'up, dude?" Kiba grinned, though disappointed that he couldn't see what was under his friend's glasses. "Wanna hang?"
Shino shook his head. "I cannot. The reason is that I have a mission with Tenten today," he said. "Oh. Okay then. Later!" Kiba said waving as they parted ways. "Let's try Shikamaru next," he said to Akamaru.
Kiba waited several moments before Shikamaru answered his door. He was all dressed up with a lopsided tie and a comb in his hair. Kiba blinked, not sure what to say. Shikamaru sighed. "You can laugh if you really want to," he said. Kiba smirked. "Now why would I want to do that?" he joked. Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "In case you were wondering why I look like this, its cos I'm going to Temari's cousin's birthday party today," he said. "It's really troublesome, but Temari will blow a fuse if I don't show up."
"You take orders from girls now?" Kiba teased. "Seriously," Shikamaru sighed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go practice my 'I-am-so-happy-to-be-here' face."
Kiba decided to try Lee next. He met him far from his home, upside down. "Again, Lee?" Kiba said, exasperated. "I must walk around Konoha with my hands only 500 times before I can do anything else!" Lee stated with a seriousness that amused Kiba. "Sure…" Kiba said, and got the hell outta there.
"Neji would be next on my list, if not for…ya know," Kiba sighed. "Sasuke is goodness knows where, not that I'd actually hang out with him. And I'm definitely not going to listen to Naruto gush about ramen and the Kyuubi and Hinata." Kiba smiled lightly as he thought of Hinata and Naruto's current relationship, which he had been rooting for since he was 12. Akamaru barked. "Chouji? Good idea," Kiba beamed at his faithful companion.
This time, Kiba didn't even get to lift his hand before Chouji opened the door. "Going somewhere, Chouji?" he asked. Chouji nodded enthusiastically. "It's Father-Son day today," he said. "Dad and I are going out." "Aren't you a little too old for that?" Kiba asked as he sweat-dropped. Choza appeared beside Chouji and gave Kiba a thumbs-up. "You're never too old for good old male bonding," he said, laughing heartily. "You should have some father-son time too," Chouji advised. "Uh, yeah. Sure," Kiba mumbled and walked away.
"Good going, son," Kiba heard Choza say sarcastically. "What?" Chouji whined. "Don't you remember what happened to Kiba's dad?" "Oh."
"Ugh, I'm running out of people to visit!" Kiba moaned. Akamaru barked. "Oh, that guy," Kiba sighed. He and Sai weren't the closest of friends, but they weren't enemies either. Kiba made a U-turn for Sai's apartment.
He met Sai on the sidewalk leading to the front door of his apartment. For some reason, he was holding a small pink book with yellow flowers on it. "Where're ya headed, Sai?" Kiba asked. "I promised Ino I'd help her with her flower shop today," Sai replied. "Well that explains the book," Kiba commented. Sai smiled. "It seems you were coming to visit me. Sorry to walk out on you like this. Maybe next time." "No problem," Kiba said. They walked to the edge of the walk together then parted ways.
"Only one person left!" Kiba said, clenching his fist. "That person won't refuse me! Zetai ni (definitely)!"
"I-I'm sorry, Kiba-kun," Hinata said quietly, bowing her head. "I have a date with Naruto-kun today." Kiba hanged his head in defeat. "Of course you do," he sighed dejectedly. "B-but we can meet up tomorrow! I don't have anything!" Hinata pleaded. "Sure," Kiba said, managing a smile for Hinata. If he didn't, Hinata would beat herself up about it until the next day! "I'll just…hang out with Shikamaru or something," he added. "Tell him I said hi!" Hinata beamed.
*Short time skip*
"I can't believe it!" Kiba moaned. He and Akamaru were on their way to their usual training ground in the park (A/N: Or is it a forest? I can never tell!) "Even my best friend (Hinata) doesn't have time for me!" Akamaru whined, and Kiba squatted down to pet him. "Not you, buddy. You're always there for me," he smiled. Akamaru barked happily. "I guess we can just train. Gotta catch up to Naruto, ya know!" he grinned.
The pair walked happily, Kiba whistling and swinging his picnic basket back and forth. And then, he saw her.
Totally cheesy ending, I know! But hey, cheese works on hamburgers…why not here? Oh yeah, I just remembered: Kiba ended up living with that Tamaki chick , but their actual relationship is not confirmed, so x all over her. I hope you had as much fun reading this as I had writing, especially the parts involving Tsume ˄_˄!
Please review! I'd love to hear what you all think!
