Kiba Inuzuka and Naruto Uzumaki had always been rivals from back to their Academy days. All because of their interests in being Hokage. Kiba was in his little apartment bedroom, training really hard to get stronger if he wanted to become Hokage and rub his glory in Naruto's face. He could image it now. Him sitting in the Hokage's chair. Wearing the Hokage apparel. Sitting along side with his canine companion, Akamaru. He was smiling at the thought but was distracting himself. Forgetting he was doing pull-ups, he hits his head on the iron bar and lets go of it, making him fall on his side. Snickering at his friend, Akamaru licks his face. Pushing Akamaru away, he says, "Knock it off, will ya? I can't be Hokage at this rate if you keep distracting me!"

He gets up and brushes the dirt off him. Akamaru rolls his eyes at his friend's arrogance and curls his body up and sleeps. Kiba scoffs at him.

"Whatever, Akamaru. I'm going to be Hokage. You'll see. You and Naruto will see. I swear it."

He gets back up on the iron bar and continues to do his exercises again until he hears a knock on the door. He groans as he grabs a towel to wipe his sweaty forehead and goes downstairs. There was another knock on the door.

"Hold your damn horses, man! I'm comin'."

He opens the door, finally, and says with his eyes closed, "If you want to borrow money again, Shino, I ain't got nothin'."

Opening his eyes, he realizes he was yelling his delicate friend Hinata Hyuga. He blushes at her with a deep color of red. For one reason, he didn't mean to yell at her. For reason two, he was shirtless.

"H-h-Hinata...I'm sorry. Lemme get a shirt on, okay? C'mon in."

She giggles at her comrade and thanks him. Sitting on his couch, she was looking around his house and saw that his tastes haven't changed a bit. Looking through his pictures of him and Akamaru, she also looks through pictures of them when they were on Team Eight. She sighs at the good old times. She walks to the stairs and calls for him. "Kiba, are you okay up there?"

"Yeah...I'm good. Hold on, a'ight?"

He manages to find a shirt but ends up tripping on his feet and falling on the floor upstairs. Hinata runs upstairs and comes to Kiba's aide.

"Kiba! Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I'm okay.", he says, rubbing his head. He could hear Akamaru snickering. "Shut up over there, Akamaru!"

Hinata was also giggling too.

"Hinata! Why...?"

"You were always funny, Kiba. Of course, I'm gonna laugh, silly!"

She helps him off of the floor. He dusts himself off and bows to Hinata." Sorry 'bout that."

"It's...'a'ight'. Right, Kiba?", she says with a smile. He blushes and nods with a smile.

"So, Hyuga...? What brings you into my Inuzuka abode?", he says with a grand voice. She giggles and replies, "I wanted to see my old team again. I was about to stop by and see Shino. Willing to come with me?"

"Naw. I saw him the other day. More than I wanted to see him, ya know? Drives me crazy a bit."

She giggles again for a while. "You two had always been at each other sometimes. But, hey, you two are still good friends."

"Yeah, we are. Hey...I can pretty much make you laugh at anything, ya know?"

She smiles and nods her head shyly. He smiles at her. Looking at her beauty, he sighs to himself. She cocks her head to the side and asks him if he was alright. He shakes his head out of his daydream and says, "Of course! You know me by now, Hinata! Heh-heh. Yeah..."

Hinata looks at him for a while and smiles. "Ok, Kiba. Well. I'll see ya!"

She goes into Kiba's room as she pets Akamaru. "See ya, Akamaru. Take good care of Kiba for me, will ya?", she jokes to him as she leaves. She kisses Kiba on his red-painted cheek as she waves at the duo, goes down the stairs and closes the front door behind her. Kiba sighs as he slides to the floor. Akamaru walks towards him. He rubs his best pal on his stomach.

"What am I gonna do, buddy?"

Akamaru whimpers at his master. He smiles as he rubs him. "I know, buddy. I know."

Hinata. I've known you since we were young. You were like a little sister to me. I've always anted to keep you safe. I've known you better than Naruto ever had. I mean, why would you fall for him...? What makes him better than me? What has he done for you? Except for ignoring your kind nature and looking away from your natural beauty. He's always been a Sakura fan boy. Hinata. I'm right for you...believe that shit.

"Alright, Akamaru. Let's get back to it, I guess."

Kiba gets up off the floor and goes back into is room as he goes back to doing his pull-ups.
