Second One-shot

I had no idea how to end this so the end might be a little lame.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters.

Kiba paced back and forth in the emergency room. Akamaru sat in the chair next to him.

The mission was a complete disaster. Hinata has a concussion and hasn't woke up yet. Lady Tsunade says shes going to be fine. Shino on the other hand, well, he wasn't doing so well. During a fight, Kiba lost his balance and the enemy shot darts at him. Shino dived in front of Kiba and took them directly in his chest.

'It should have been me in that room. I should be the one dying'

Kiba and Shino were never the best of friends. It was a forced peace treaty between them. Shino was too uptight and serious for Kiba and Kiba was too loud and relaxed for Shino. They were complete opposites. If Kiba got a coin for everytime they got into a fight, physical and words, he would be rich. Even in the Chunin exams, even though they were on the same side, Kiba wanted to kick Shino buggy ass to the moon and back.

Kiba finally sat down beside Akamaru. He hadn't gotten any sleep in the past three days and it felt like he would never sleep again. If Shino died, he would never be able to live with himself. They never got along but he was still a comrade. A comrade who put his life on the line for Kiba.

The emergency room doors swung open and Kiba's head snapped up. Lady Tsunade walked slowly up to Kiba.

"Shino is very lucky to have made it. It took us a while to find where the poison had spread to but we finally got it all. You can go see him if you wish"

"Thank you"

Kiba slid the room door open as quietly as he could. There was Shino laying there hooked up to a ventalitor .

"Feeling better?" Kiba questioned.

"Does it look like it?" Shino hacked.

Kiba looked him over. A small smirked appeared in the corner of his mouth.

"What?"

"Guess you had to take off your jacket, huh?"
