"Ahhhahhhhhahhhhhhahchoooo!!!" sneezed Naruto, violently. He grabbed a new tissue and wiped his runny nose. "Godamn head cold," he muttered, his voice thick from his congested sinuses. He snorted and threw the now soaked tissue into the pile by his bed. "Of all the times to get sick,' he said as he looked out the window of his bedroom. The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing, a warm breeze blew gently over the land. A perfect day to get out and enjoy life. And he was stuck inside with some kind of head cold. "God I want to be outside right now..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kiba, where are you going?" asked his mother as he opened the door. Kiba looked back and replied, "To Naruto's house. Poor guy caught a cold or something like that. I was going to go over and see if he was alright." His mother shook her head, "Alright, but try not to catch whatever he has." Kiba nodded closed the door behind him. He headed to Naruto's, Akamaru close behind.

Knock
Knock
"What now..." muttered Naruto as he dragged himself weakly out of bed. He lumbered to his door and opened it, "What?" Kiba blinked. Naruto looked worse than he had thought. Puffy, watery, red eyes, runny nose, scarlete stained cheeks, he really did look terrible. "Wow, you really did catch something nasty, didn't you Naruto?" Naruto sighed and sneezed. He turned around and walked to his bed, ploping heavily down. Kiba stepped into Naruto's small apartment with and closed the door. "How long have you been feeling like that?" Naruto looked up and frowned, "Since Sunday night. I was tottally fine all day but by the time the sun set I was feeling like crap." He sneezed again and Akamaru barked, spooked by the intensity. Kiba tossed his the half empty box of tissue off the table. "Shouldn't you go see a doctor if you feel that bad?" Naruto smiled weakly, "Naw, i don't need to. This is just Kyuubi's way of having some fun. He's prolly just pissed that I haven't been letting him have any fun so he's punishing me by not getting rid of whatever bug I have." Kiba laughed, "Kyuubi's a real bastard sometimes, ain't he?" "Got that right," agreed Naruto as he wiped more goo from his runny nose. "So anyway Kiba, what bring you to this side of Konoha?" "You actually. I'd heard you were sick and wanted to see how you were doing." Naruto smiled ironically, "Well, as you can see I'm doing just great. All I need now is a case of the stomach flu and everyhting will be right with the world." Kiba laughed heartily as he watched Naruto sneeze yet again. "Take some medicine. You'll feel better faster." Naruto shook his head, "Nope. I don't take medicine unless i'm really dieing. I'd rather have a clogged head and runny nose than not be coherent." Kiba blinked. He had no idea Naruto had word's that big in his vocabulary. "Yeah, I guess that's a good enough reason. Hell, when I'm sick I want to be uncounsious. I don't get a little sick. I get major sick. Like 'Oh man get him to the hospital now' kind of sick." Naruto nodded, "Same here man. That's why I'm glad Iruka hasn't been by today. If he saw me like this he'd drag me to the hospital himself." They laughed together untill Naruto ran out of breath. "I guess the only bad thing about being sick right now is that the weather is perfect," said Naruto as soon as he could breath again. "Yeah, no to many days like this in May. It's gunna be way too hot to do anything soon enough." Naruto nodded and yawned. Kiba looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Whens the last time you got a decent night's sleep?" Naruto blinked and thought for a moment, "Ummm...Thursday...I think...Maybe...Could have been Wednesday thought. I'm not really sure." Kiba frowned, "There's a good enough reason to get some medicine. You need to get some sleep Naruto. You'll feel better faster if you do." Naruto laughed, "Kiba, if I can bearly breathe and go 5 minutes without sneezing right now, what makes you think I'd be able to sleep a full night?" "Good point."
Cell phone rings...
"Crap, thats mine." Kiba flipped his open and listened. "Uh-huh." ... "OKay mom." ... ":Yeah, i'll be home in a second." ... "Okay. Bye" He sighed, "Sorry Naruto. My mom wants me home." He stood up. "I'll drop by in the morning and check on you, okay?" Naruto nodded, "Alright." Kiba smiled, "Try and get some sleep okay?" "Yeah, I'll try." Kiba smiled and let himself out. Naruto sighed and lay down, trying to get comfortable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning...
Kiba woke up and sheilded his eyes from the bright morning sunlight that fliter in through his window. Akamaru snored peacefully from his spot at the egde of the bed. He always slept there when Kiba snorred. Which was just about everynight. Kiba sat up and ran his hands through his brunette hair, smoothing it somewhat, or at least trying to push it out from in front of his eyes. He yawned sleepily and shifted his feet over the side of the bed and onto the floor. Akamaru yawned and rolled over, tail wagging. Kiba smiled and reached over to scratch the pup's belly. "Ready to go back to Naruto's?" His response was a doggy smile and a tail wag. "I'll take that as a 'yes'." He got up and dressed, stopping to grab a peice of toast and a poptart before heading out to see Naruto, Akamaru ridding on his head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He knocked on Naruto's door and waited...and waited...and waited...and waited some more... "Hmmmmm," he mused quietly. "That's prolly not good." He bent over and fished under the mat for the spare key and unlocked the door. "Naruto?" he asked as he stuck his head inside the doorway. Naruto was unconscious on his bed, nose draining everywhere. Kiba giggled and Akamaru jumped off his head. He tiptoed in quietly and closed the door. Naruto's face bunched up and he sneezed violently with anough force to flip into a sitting position. Kiba tossed him the tissue box he was holding and sat down on the edge of Naruto's bed. "I guess sleep didn't help much, did it?" Naruto yawned and shook his head, "No, guess not." He blew his nose and sighed. "When did you guys get here?" "Just now actually." "So you knew about my spare key?" Kiba laughed, "Yeah, Saura told me about it. I would have just come back later accept i know how sick you are and was worried." Naruto smiled, "And you mom doesn't mind you being here today?" "Well, actually, she think's I'm out training with Shino, so no, she has no problem with it." Naruto clsed his eyes and nodded, "And does Shino know about this 'training session'?" "Oh yes, He know's all about it. Don't worry, he won't rat me out." "I know he won't. As much as he creeps me out sometimes I know he's trustworthy. And with you being his best friend and all he's even less likely to rat you out." "Yeah, gotta love Shino." Akamaru jumped up onto the bed and sat in Naruto's lap, tail wagging. "Someone's in a good modd today." Akamaru curled up and fell asleep on his lap. "Little bugger..." mumbled Kiba. Naruto's stomache growled. "Hmmmm hungry are we?" asked Kiba. Naruto nodded and Kiba stood up. "I'll fix you some breakfast..." He said as he walked to the kitchen.
