"Kiba" is speaking

"Ummm…Kakashi-sensei, can I talk to you?"
The person in question looked up from his reading at the normally boisterous young ninja. 'When did he get all serious and timid?' "Kiba," he acknowledged, giving his accent for the teen to continue.
The boy just stood there staring at the Jonin who couldn't tell whether Kiba was deciding on the best way to phrase what he was going to say or contemplating the best escape route. Judging from the expression on his face, a little of both. Finally he spoke, "I think I'm gay."
Under normal circumstances he would assume the Inuzuka was joking, but the mixed aura of anxiety and relief that was radiating from the boy, told Kakashi that he was being serious, or a really good actor. Since Kiba generally lacks the patience for acting he assumed it was the former. He quirked his visible eyebrow and stowed his book, "Why are you telling me this? Why not someone you trust like Kurenai or your friends?"
Kiba cringed, "Talking to Kurenai-sensei about this would be like telling my mother."
Kakashi nodded his head slightly, 'that makes sense.'
"And this isn't really something that I would feel comfortable discussing with the guys," he snorted, "Imagine sparring with one of them and then all of a sudden going, 'oh yeah, just so you know, I think I might be gay.' That so is not happening."
The copy-nin was amused, only Kiba or Naruto would ever think about approaching the subject that way. "Not all your friends are guys," he pointed out.
This time the young-nin groaned, " I know that. I just would like to avoid all the cooing about how sweet or cute my situation is. Besides, if I'm wrong, I don't need all the girls thinking I'm gay."
Kakashi smirked; Kiba certainly had an amusing way of looking at things, although he did have a point. "So why me?" he inquired.
Suddenly the teen adverted his gaze and began staring at his feet like they were the most interesting things he had ever encountered: He was certainly acting out of character. "Well…I figured…since…ya-know…you and Gai-sensei…well I figured that you were the most viable option because I don't really think that sitting through speeches about youthful love would be very helpful," He managed to get out, gaining confidence as he spoke.
The older-nin's eye narrowed, "Me and Gai?"
Kiba chuckled, looking up with his trademark grin, "How dense do you think we are? Everyone knows about you two, well…with the exception of Naruto and possibly Lee. We are all ninja, ya-know, its kinda our job to be perceptive."
Kakashi was truly surprised, not that he showed it. He was so sure that him and Gai and been discrete enough, their relationship certainly wasn't anyone's business other than their own. He shrugged as if the mere action would clear his mind and then motioned for the young dog-nin to join him on the branch he'd been lounging on.
He waited until the boy was settled and then asked, "So why do you think your gay?"
Kiba took a deep breath, "Well I first noticed it a few months ago, right after I found out about Hinata and Naruto…"
"Hey! Shino look out!" I shouted as I tackled him to the ground, successfully preventing a well-aimed kunai from hitting its target. "Thanks" was all he said to me in his deep, emotionless voice but I knew he was grateful, he just doesn't show it. He patiently waited for me to get off of him so we could both get back to the ensuing battle, yet that wasn't happening because his simple "Thanks" and drawn my attention to his lips and I was enraptured by them. Those thin, pink, wonderful lips that he normally keeps hidden under the high collar of his black shirt, for some reason I had the overwhelming urge to kiss him. I might have given in to that temptation, too, had he not brushed me off of him to aid Hinata.
"At the time, I dismissed it, blaming the occurrence on hormones, cause I am seventeen, have never kissed someone and our faces were inches away from each other. I also considered the possibility, it was because of Hinata, but I know that I haven't liked her that way for quite some time and I'm happy that Naruto finally noticed her. I just wish Shino would notice me." Kiba looked quite surprised at what he just caught himself saying, "See what I mean, straight guys don't think those things let alone accidentally say them."
Kakashi just sat silently and waited for the confused teen to continue. Which he eventually did, "I think about him all the fucking time and whenever I am near him, I am overcome by this desire to touch him."
Kakashi raised his eyebrow.
Kiba blushed, "Not like that! I didn't mean for it to sound dirty! Okay, maybe sometimes, like that, but normally it is just a constant need for physical contact with him. Whether I am punching him, leaning on him, or hugging him, I just want to be in contact with him. Its scary."
"I understand, please continue," The Hatake said reassuringly.
"This morning at practice it was really bad. I almost gave in to my urges. Actually I sorta did, but Shino unwittingly stopped me.
'Shino looks so good today; I wonder what he looks like under all that clothing? Wait what am I thinking!' I mentally smacked myself, Thinking those things certainly weren't going to help my concentration and why was I thinking them in the first place.
"What are you doing?" He asked me; apparently I had stopped in the middle of sparring just to stare at him for the last five minutes, again! What is wrong with me?! That is the third time this week!
"Sorry." I grumbled, "Won't happen again." Why did I apologize? I mean, its what a normal person would do, but not me. If it were anyone else who had said that to me I would have threatened to kick their ass while adding many other colorful words to the mix. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and charged at him for an attack.
We continued training until I somehow found myself pinning him to a tree. What was I thinking?! How did I get there?! 'Hey…his hood has slipped down, I can see more of his face…' I thought, obviously not paying attention to the part of my brain that was having a panic attack.
I think I was going to kiss him, but his bugs got to me first; we were in the middle of training, after all. Then he lectured me about letting my guard down after I thought I had captured the enemy. If only he knew…
"Maybe you should tell him," Kakashi suggested.
"You don't just walk up to your best friend and tell him you are lusting over them!"
"It worked for Tenten, although, I'm pretty sure she didn't say it quite like that. If she had, I doubt Neji would have been impressed." Then jonin couldn't help but mentally laugh at the image of Tenten approaching the Hyuuga prodigy with such garish words.
"But she is a girl!" Kiba pointed out, "big difference!"
"If you're afraid to tell him, maybe you should show him."
"Show him how?" The dog-nin inquired suspiciously.
"Well I remember this one mission were Gai got the side of his leg torn open, while bandaging it for him I apparently fondled his inner thigh a bit to much for a friend," Kakashi sweat-dropped, "Of course my action were completely unconscious, but I still got my point across!"
Kiba deadpanned, "I am not groping Shino."
"Fine, but whether you tell him or show him, he should be informed. He deserves to know why his best friend is acting so strangely."
The young Inuzuka sighed in defeat, "I guess you right." He thanked Kakashi, dropped down from the tree, and began sprinting in the direction of the Aburame compound.
Kakashi watched teen depart before pulling out his book to resume his slacking-off. "This should be interesting."
