Disclaimer: I of course do not own Naruto. Not a single character and I sure wished that I owned Kiba Inuzuka.
A/N: I am so happy about the last chapter. Everyone who reviewed deserves a second chapter. Here it is so enjoy…
Kiba
Kiba slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight piercing through his bedroom window shone on his face. Kiba's eyes twitched slightly from the bright intrusion. Slowly the dog-boy's eyes adjusted to the light and he sat up on his bed. The Inuzuka looked to his left and found his white furred companion still wrapped up in a ball asleep. The brunette smiled warmly at how cute his comrade looks. The dog lover gently slid off the bed so he won't disturb the pup's sleep. Kiba walked to his door and gently opened and closed it.
The boy walked to the bathroom and from there he brushed his teeth and took a warm shower. The boy walked out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist when he finished his morning routine. Kiba felt more cheerful than he has yesterday but the pain over Naruto's actions is still there. Kiba walked into his room and found his best friend chewing on the sheets of the bed.
"Akamaru…how many times do I have to tell you not to chew on the sheets?"Kiba joked. Akamaru halted his chewing and looked in the direction of the door where his master stood. The pup shot his master a puppy smile and let go of the sheets that were in his mouth. Kiba smirked at his dog.
"Next time if you want to chew on something go chew Hana's shoes."Kiba joked again. Akamaru barked happily at his master. The pup is confused at the sudden mood change of his master. One day he's depressed than the next day he's all cheerful.
"You're sure happy today."The dog commented. Kiba shot his dog a glare then moved to his closet to collect some fresh clean clothing.
"I'm trying to forget about that blonde whore. I want to at least have a smile on my face. I'm not going to get all depressed and negative over it."Kiba told his dog. Of course Kiba is still struggling, but he told himself that if he's going to feel pain, then might as well disguise it with a smile. Kiba had collected his clothing and dressed quickly in his usual attire. The Inuzuka felt like his old self again. His outfit yesterday was comfortable and made him feel handsome but he felt dirty sense it was all for the whiskered boy. The Inuzuka was now fully dressed with his shoes and all. Kiba walked to Akamaru and lifted him off the bed then placed the pup inside his jacket against his chest. Then Kiba picked up his backpack and packed some clothing just in case the mission would take days. He placed the backpack on his bed after packing his supplies and clothes.
"Now for a little breakfast and then we leave for the mission." Akamaru barked from excitement.
The dog-boy walked out of his room and downstairs towards the kitchen to serve himself some cereal. While walking downstairs, he sniffed what smelled like pancakes. When he walked into the kitchen, he found Hana at the stove with an apron and she had a spatula in her hand. Kiba looked around and found a plate on the table with two pancakes and a glass of milk next to it.
"You're finally awake."Hana commented with a smile.
"Good morning Hana. Whose pancakes are those?"Kiba asked pointing at the plate. Hana giggled.
"Why they're for you little brother. Sit down and enjoy."Hana answered with a smile. Kiba hesitantly walked to the chair. He sat down, picked up his fork, and started eating slowly.
"So how was your day yesterday?"Hana asked after some moments.
"It was fine I guess. Nothing special."Kiba lied. He doesn't want to tell his family about his sexuality or Naruto yet. Hana finished with the final pancake and she turned off the stove.
"Then why were you crying yesterday?"Kiba froze when she asked this. He didn't think anyone would notice.
"I was just…happy that I have a new mission."Hana didn't believe a single word. She knows Kiba isn't very smart when it comes to making up lies. This leads to miserable attempts and very absurd stories. Hana sighed and placed the pot she made the pancakes with in the sink while the other pancakes she made are on a plate on the countertop. She turned to her brother. She looked at his plate and noticed it spotless.
Kiba drank his milk in seconds then stood up.
"I got to go Hana. I have a mission today. I don't know how long I'll be gone but I think it'll be a few days or so."Kiba quickly went up to his room for his backpack and as soon as he had it on his back he ran downstairs.
"See you later Hana." Kiba called out and Akamaru barked before they bolted out the door. Hana stared at the door dumbfounded. Kiba sure acted differently today. Hana sighed.
"I hope you're not going insane Kiba."Hana commented and walked back into the kitchen. She wondered if Kiba may have had a nightmare and cried in his sleep. This may be unlikely but it does happen. Hana hoped it was this. Tsume walked down from her room towards the kitchen when she heard Kiba leave.
"So what did he say?"Tsume asked Hana her arms crossed and sitting down on a chair at the table.
"He said he cried because he was happy he has a new mission."Tsume laughed at this.
"That has got to be the stupidest reason to cry. My son sure is a horrible liar."Tsume laughed. Hana shook her head from disappointment at her mother. Why didn't her mother take this seriously she asked herself.
Naruto
The blonde is seated on a chair at his table eating some of his ramen. Naruto woke up early to look for his Kiba and explain to him the situation. The blonde actually had a good sleep tonight even with the guilt in him. His dream was haunted by the dog-boy on this particular night. Last night his dream involved a naked Kiba and a naked Naruto. The blonde blushed when he remembered the dream. Naruto has only done that with Sasuke. Of course he deeply regretted doing that but he wondered what it would feel like with Kiba. When he finished his ramen he put on his shoes and ran out the door to go find Kiba hopefully alone.
Kiba
The Inuzuka walked on the streets towards the gate of Konoha. He stared up at the sky every now and again which led to his thoughts of the blonde. He wondered where the blonde is or what the blonde was doing. He hopes that this mission will get him to forget the whiskered boy.
Naruto
Naruto leaped from rooftop to rooftop on his search for the Inuzuka boy. In minutes his eyes caught sight of a brunette boy walking in the direction of the gate. He jumped off the roof he was standing on and ran after the boy. In seconds he could see that it was the Inuzuka boy.
"Now's your chance to try and talk to him alone."Kyuubi told Naruto. The blonde hopes that Kiba will give him some time.
Kiba walked lost in his thoughts. He is thinking of what Naruto could be doing right now. These thoughts were interrupted when he caught a whiff of his ex-lover's scent. The brunette looked behind him only to find the whiskered boy running towards him. Kiba groaned from anger but his heart was doing back flips to see the blonde coming for him.
"KIBA!!!"Naruto yelled out. The brunette ignored him and continued walking. Naruto caught up with Kiba and walked next to the dog-boy.
"Kiba…Kiba…can we talk?"Naruto panted. Kiba still ignored him.
"Look…I know you're mad at me but please understand that it was all a mistake."Kiba still ignored him. Naruto doesn't like being ignored and right now he needs Kiba to listen.
"Kiba please listen to me!"Naruto pleaded. The blonde walked in front of the brunette to stop his advances.
"Get out of my way Naruto."Kiba growled. Naruto shot the brunette a sad look and it seemed to have an effect. Kiba now had a red blush developing. Naruto smirked when he noticed it.
"Naruto…get-out-of-my-way."Kiba said boringly. Kiba's heart was racing. He wants to be with Naruto again but after what the blonde did makes him question if the whiskered boy will remain loyal. His anger is still in his mind telling him to hate the blonde boy and his heart is constantly telling him to forgive and to give one last chance. Kiba was now lost in thought while Naruto kept his gaze on him.
"Kiba…"Naruto could tell Kiba was in his trance and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. Naruto walked closer to Kiba and when he was mere inches from Kiba's face, he whispered the Inuzuka's name. The brunette snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his name and when he took notice of how close Naruto is, his blush reddened tenfold. Naruto was enjoying this and he thought that now would be a good time to be Kiba's first kiss. Unlike Naruto who has already had his first kiss thanks to Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba hasn't had anyone claim his lips. Naruto will make sure that he is the only one to claim those lips for him only. Naruto leaned on Kiba and Akamaru was barking at the blonde. Naruto leaned to Kiba's right ear.
"Maybe now I can give you your first kiss Kiba."Naruto whispered seductively. Kiba's heart was just about ready to explode. He wanted to kiss him, he wanted to be with him, but his mind kept refusing to give in. Without thinking, the brunette pushed the blonde. Naruto was caught off guard by this and fell to the ground on his bottom.
"I-I c-can't talk right now. I-I have a-a mission."Kiba stuttered. He was about to give in until Akamaru bit his shirt and that's when Kiba pushed Naruto. Kiba then ran off to stop anymore advances. Naruto was a bit pissed when he heard Kiba mention he has a mission but he wondered if he could go on that same mission with Kiba. With that in mind he ran as fast as he could towards the Hokage's office to request Tsunade to join Kiba.
Kiba
The brunette ran to the gate of Konoha. His feelings are getting unbearable. He was just about to give into his desires but his dog saved him. Kiba looked down at his dog and petted him softly on the head.
"Thanks boy. You really saved my butt back there."Akamaru barked happily up at his master. The pup could tell his master was about to give into that unfaithful boy and he is proud of himself for stopping the advances. Minutes later the Inuzuka could already see the gate and not surprisingly his teammates are there waiting patiently for him.
"How are you this morning Kiba-kun?"Hinata asked when Kiba reached them.
"I've felt better b-but I'm alright."Kiba's moment with the blonde has made his body shiver slightly from anxiousness. The brunette's body is still shivering and it is slightly noticeable to his teammates.
"Are you alright Kiba? Your body seems anxious about something."Shino asked and commented.
"Who me? Of course I'm fine. You have nothing to worry about, now let's just get this mission over with."Kiba said nervously then started walking out of the gates. Hinata looked at Shino with a worried look and her right hand at her lips nervously.
"I'm getting worried for Kiba. Do you think that maybe Naruto got to him Shino?"Shino wondered what it could be that made Kiba shiver and it instantly struck him, his insects just caught traces of Naruto's scent and chakra on the brunette. Shino frowned at this. What is Naruto's scent doing on Kiba and what could the blonde have done to the brunette? Shino questioned in his mind.
"Perhaps Hinata. Right now we should help Kiba forget about him."Shino said in his usual monotone voice. The pair soon followed their brunette teammate out of the village.
Naruto
"Aw come on. Please let me join Kiba on his mission!"Naruto pleaded to the Hokage who is working on her paperwork.
"I said no Naruto. It's just a simple delivery mission that doesn't require a squad of four. They've probably left by now so I doubt you'll catch up to them. Why do you want to go with them anyway?"
"I just want to resolve a little problem I have with Kiba and I can't if Kiba is away."Naruto said now smashing his palms on Tsunade's desk. The Hokage was a bit agitated by this but kept her cool.
"How many times do I have to say no?"She asked in a deep scary voice. Naruto was fearful when he heard her speak to him like that but he came up with a plan. Naruto looked at the Hokage with puppy dog eyes and had his hands in front of him in a begging manner. Tsunade took one look at him and fell prey to the fox-boy's look. The Hokage sighed from defeat.
"If I let you go then will you leave me alone?"She asked exhaustingly. Naruto nodded with a wide grin.
"Then you may go but you better hurry. You don't know how far they've gone." Naruto shot the Hokage a smile then ran out the door. Tsunade sighed from annoyance.
"Sometimes I wonder why I endure that kid."Tsunade told herself.
The blonde didn't waste any time chasing after squad eight. He didn't even go to his apartment to pack some supplies for clothing, he simply ran towards the gate.
"I guess now you have more time with dog-boy but be cautious around him. If the bug-boy and pale eyed girl are with him, they won't let you go near him."Kyuubi told Naruto. Right now the blonde doesn't care what Shino or Hinata would do to him. He wants Kiba back and from the brunette's reaction to his presence earlier makes it clear to the blonde that Kiba wants him back too. Now all he has to do is prove that it was all a mistake and that who he really wants is the Inuzuka boy. "Now I'll just have to persuade Kiba to come back to me."Naruto thought aloud with a smirk. He reached the gates and ran out into the clearing to get his lover back.
Kiba
The trio known as squad eight walked slowly towards their destination. It was silent besides the sound of the wind blowing and some wildlife in the trees. Kiba enjoys these kinds of noises. The sounds of nature relax him. Hinata looked at the corner of her eye to her left at the brunette and smiled when she saw the dog-boy relaxed. Shino also felt happy for this. Maybe this mission will help Kiba forget about the damn fox-boy and help him move on to another. Shino blushed when he thought about that. Why would he suddenly want Kiba to move on so quickly? Why would he want Kiba to get another lover? His thoughts suddenly pictured if Kiba was his lover. Shino's face now reddened horribly from such thoughts. Kiba could smell the bug user's change in mood and wondered what it could be.
"You alright Shino? Your scent has suddenly changed."Kiba asked curiously. Shino shook his head to signal him nothing was wrong.
"Of course I'm alright Kiba. I just feel a little light headed is all."Shino answered in his monotone voice. Kiba thought for a minute of how Shino answered and it was in his usual voice so the Inuzuka shrugged it off. The trio walked in peace and harmony for minutes until soon the brunette caught whiff of a familiar blonde's scent. Kiba's breathing started getting rapid and his heart rate increased again.
"G-guys…it looks like we have company."Kiba said his voice cracking. Shino soon knew who it was from his insects. How he hated that whiskered blonde. What could he possibly want and what is he doing following them?
"Hinata, Naruto is on his way here. We need to protect Kiba now."Shino told Hinata who nodded at his words. Shino and Hinata walked closer to Kiba on both of his sides, Shino being on the brunette's left and the Hyuuga on his right. Seconds later footsteps could be heard and the Hyuuga could see the orange color of the whiskered boy's outfit.
"KIBA!!" The trio heard from the incoming figure. Kiba's heart sped up and his teammates waited to see what the blonde wanted. The whiskered male reached them in seconds and he stood across from them panting.
"State your business."Shino demanded sternly. Kiba frowned at the orange clothed boy and Hinata looked at him with a bit of pity.
"I…I'm here…to join… you guys… on… your mission."The fox-boy panted. Kiba and Shino frowned while Hinata gasped.
"Prove it then."Kiba demanded quickly. Naruto's heart dropped at that question. He doesn't have anything to prove he is included in this mission now too.
"Well…I don't have proof but when we return you could ask Tsunade. Oh and If you torture me, all I'll have to do is let Tsunade know what you guys did and she'll have your heads." Naruto stated with a cocky grin. Team eight sighed from being defeated so easily. The trio knows that Tsunade is very fond of Naruto and if they do him harm then it will mean certain death.
"Fine…"Shino hissed with venom.
"But remember…don't go anywhere near Kiba or me and Hinata will have to get a hold of you."Shino reminded the whiskered boy angrily. The blonde nodded with a serious look and then walked up to them so that he was walking next to Hinata. Shino kept glancing at the fox-boy to make sure he wouldn't do anything funny. Hinata blushed having the blonde next to her but reminded herself that he's gay. Kiba felt really uncomfortable with the blonde joining them. Just when he thought he could have some time without the blonde around it turns out he's joining his team on their delivery mission. The dog lover's body shook every passing second and he didn't know why. Soon Kiba couldn't take it anymore and he decided to end it his own way.
Kiba ran ahead of the path without acknowledging his teammates.
"Where are you going Kiba-kun?"Hinata yelled out as loud as she could.
"Why don't we have a small race just to get there faster?"Kiba yelled back still running. Naruto saw this as his opportunity and ran ahead instantly when Kiba finished his sentence. Shino and Hinata's jaw dropped at the situation. They simply cannot allow Naruto to get to Kiba. The Aburame and Hyuuga soon followed after the blonde.
Kiba was running to tire himself out and to get rid of the shivers that result from being near Naruto. In seconds he could hear footsteps behind him. When the brunette looked behind him, he felt butterflies in his stomach and yet powerful fury when he saw it to be his ex-lover chasing after him. Kiba sprinted as fast as he could but the blonde still caught up with him and was now running next to him.
"Get away Naruto!"Kiba yelled at his right where the fox-boy ran.
"I'm just going to ask you if we could make a deal. If I win this race then you are mine again." The blonde stated with a grin. Kiba had a blush developing but soon was replaced with a frown.
"Fat chance! I regret having been with you Naruto. In fact, all of it meant nothing."Kiba said flatly. Naruto's heart ached when he heard those words and Kiba honestly hated himself for stating such a lie. Kiba instantly halted his running and Naruto copied his actions. Kiba was behind Naruto by a few feet and soon Shino and Hinata caught up with them. Hinata looked at the whiskered boy then at the brunette and noticed both boys staring deeply into each other's eyes. Hinata noticed that the blonde's seemed to have pain while Kiba's looked emotionless.
"Don't run off like that again."Shino commented. Kiba nodded and walked next to Hinata's right. Naruto walked slowly towards Shino who scowled at him. The next hours of walking were completely silent except for the sound of their footsteps. The whole time Naruto kept running Kiba's words in his head. They have made quite an impact on him. Soon the sun started to set and Shino stopped walking.
"The sun is starting to set. We should set up camp now." Shino commented. The dog lover and Hyuuga nodded at his words and set their backpacks down. Naruto looked at his back and soon took notice that he has nothing with him. The blonde turned to the trio with a nervous smile while his left hand was scratching the back of his head.
"I came here in such a rush I forgot to pack any stuff or a tent."Naruto laughed nervously. Kiba rolled his eyes at the fox-boy's stupidity and the other two shinobi sighed.
"You can share my tent Naruto-kun."Hinata commented with a bright blush. Naruto thought about his choices. Shino would definitely kill him and Kiba wouldn't even look him in the eye with the spark he found when the two were together and sleeping outside wouldn't be good.
"Alright Hinata. Are you sure it's no trouble?"Naruto asked with a grin.
"Not at all Naruto."Hinata said with a small smile. Hinata hoped she could talk to the blonde about his and the brunette's relationship. She wanted to see if Kiba is having the wrong idea about the fox-boy. In minutes everyone besides Naruto had their own tent up. Shino quietly entered his without a word and Kiba crawled into his shortly after. In seconds that left the whiskered boy and Hyuuga. The two crawled inside the Hyuuga's tent with a bit discomfort from the small amount of space. Both their backs were touching. Hinata remained silent for a few moments before bringing up the courage to speak.
"W-why did you do that…to Kiba-kun?"Hinata asked quietly. Naruto shifted a bit but spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"Why…did you cheat on Kiba?"Hinata asked again. Naruto thought about it and he didn't even know why he slept with the damn Uchiha.
"I…don't know Hinata. But please understand…I want to be with Kiba again."
"Naruto…how could you do such a thing?"Hinata whispered with a hint of pain.
"I don't know Hinata I just… wasn't thinking right…and now I regret hurting Kiba like that. I want him to come back to me."Hinata heard Naruto's voice crack slightly when he said those words. Honestly, Naruto's eyes are watering. The words Kiba said about their relationship not meaning anything really struck his heart.
"I'm really sorry Hinata. I'm really sorry for hurting Kiba like I did. I just want him in my arms."Naruto's eyes let go of the water droplets. Hinata thought about what he said and thought maybe he does mean it. Perhaps Naruto does regret what he did and wants to apologize to Kiba for his mistake. These thoughts lightened her view on the blonde and she wanted to see him happy too. Hinata knows now that it'll be best if the two boys ended up together again. She knows it would make both boys happy. Hinata now had to decide if she wants to help Kiba avoid the blonde or help Naruto get Kiba back for his happiness. She doesn't like hearing the blonde's voice with sorrow or pain. Hinata thought about it and soon she came up with a decision. The Hyuuga closed her eyes and waited for tomorrow.
Kiba in his own tent was having trouble getting to sleep. His companion Akamaru is laying on the right side of Kiba who is laying on his right side looking directly at his puppy. The pup couldn't get any sleep either from his master's stress. It worried the pup too much. Eventually Kiba shook his puppy to wake him up if he was asleep.
"Akamaru…Akamaru…"The white pup turned his head slightly to look at his master.
"Yes…how can I help you Mr. Master?" Akamaru barked sarcastically.
"I don't know what to do. I want to hate Naruto…but I want to be with him again at the same time."Kiba whispered. The pup looked at his master with a bit of pity. The pup thought his master would probably be in this kind of situation.
"Just follow your heart."The dog barked then went back to his slumber.
"Everyone says that…"Kiba whispered a bit annoyed then closed his eyes for his own sleep.
The next morning
Kiba was the first to wake. He sat up in his tent and yawned. The dog lover looked to his puppy to find him still asleep.
"Oh well…I'll let him sleep for a bit longer. Besides, it seems too early for anyone to wake right now."Kiba thought. He crawled out of his tent and noticed no one has woken up yet. He sniffed the air and he realized that one teammate is awake but he doesn't care about that right now. Kiba then thought a quick soak would be good if he could sniff out a stream or lake. He stood up and sniffed around until he caught the scent of running water. He followed it quickly to make sure he'll be back before his teammates wake up.
Naruto
Naruto woke to the sounds of footsteps outside. Naruto gently sat up and peeked out of the tent through the slit at the entrance and saw Kiba fully awake. Naruto questioned what the dog-boy was doing up so early. Then in an instant Kiba made a run for it towards who knows where. The blonde crawled out of his tent and followed suit.
Kiba & Naruto
Kiba jogged at a steady pace towards the water scent and in seconds he found a small river, big enough for him to bathe in and small enough for the rapids to be weak so they wouldn't wash him away. Kiba unzipped his jacket and shrugged it off then pulled his shirt over his head to remove it. He folded them neatly and placed them on a large rock. He slid off his shoes and socks. Finally were his shorts. The dog lover walked slowly into the stream and allowed the water to ravish him. For the first time since two days ago he has been able to relax. Unknown to the dog-boy there was a peeping tom in the bushes.
The blonde was hiding in the bushes to make sure Kiba won't see him. Of course he will have to reveal his prescence pretty soon from the brunette's sense of smell. He heard the stream of water and soon he heard splashing. The whiskered male knows what's happening and he tried to stop himself from looking but curiosity got the best of him. Naruto peeked and saw most of Kiba's naked glory except that the brunette is wearing boxers.
Naruto nearly drooled when he laid eyes on Kiba's body. During their relationship the blonde never did see the brunette without clothing on and this was certainly more than he had expected. Kiba's perfectly balanced tanned skin, his brunette hair shining with the water, lean yet muscular arms, a nice round ass, strong looking chest and perfect sized Pecs too. The dog-boy's body seemed perfect. The blonde now wanted the boy more than he did at the park.
Kiba enjoyed splashing around the water. He was having some fun even if it's just him and in the morning. The brunette played with the fish that swam in the river and enjoyed the sound of the running water. The dog lover started to giggle a bit at his playful behavior. But he heard rumbling in the bushes. The Inuzuka stopped all movement when he heard these noises and looked in the direction it came from.
"Who's there?"Kiba demanded. The bushes started moving again and in seconds emerged the blonde whiskered boy named Naruto. Kiba frowned at him and turned his back on him.
"How are you Kiba?"Naruto asked politely. Kiba ignored him.
"Look I know you're mad and all but why won't you believe me when I say that it was all a mistake. I really want… you."Kiba chuckled at the pitiful words.
"If that were true you wouldn't have done that in the first place. Now stop acting like you want me back. You and I both know you're lying and that you're just acting. Now just leave me alone."Kiba explained flatly. Naruto felt water in his eyes but held it back. The dog-boy's words seemed like the ones he told him yesterday.
"How could you say what you did yesterday?"Naruto questioned to the brunette.
"Hmm…Let me think…Oh yeah…It's obvious that our relationship didn't mean anything to you if you slept with Sasuke."Kiba mocked turning to now look at the blonde. Kiba was leaning forward slightly and his index finger rose while the others are curled up to make him look smart.
"I TOLD YOU IT WAS A MISTAKE!!"Naruto yelled tears of frustration coming down his whiskered face. Kiba felt pain from the blonde's emotional outburst but he wants Naruto to know pain as unbearable as he felt when he caught him with Sasuke.
"Sorry…but me and you ended two days ago."That instant Naruto ran straight towards the brunette. The dog lover didn't expect that and gasped when Naruto took hold of his shoulders and threw him at the riverbank. Then Naruto jumped on top of the brunette with his hands holding the dog lover's shoulders down and one leg on both sides of Kiba. Naruto looked down on him.
"Kiba please believe me that I regret doing that. I want to be with you again."Kiba looked at the blonde's face and frowned.
"YOU EXPECT ME TO COME BACK TO YOU AFTER WHAT YOU DID!!!"Kiba yelled some tears of his own falling.
"IF YOU ARE DISLOYAL ENOUGH TO DO THAT TO ME THEN I CAN'T TRUST YOU!!"Kiba's eyes soon lost trace of the tears and he smirked up at the fox-boy with an evil look in his eyes.
"Besides…I enjoy watching you suffer as much pain as I did when I caught you."Kiba's feelings were at war at this point. He doesn't like to watch the fox-boy in despair but his anger and frustration enjoyed the pain the blonde is feeling.
"Kiba…please…I'm sorry…"Naruto pleaded. Kiba soon realized the grip on him loosened and he instantly pushed the boy off of him. Naruto almost hit the water but barely missed it. Kiba walked over to the rock with his clothing and dressed quickly when he reached them.
"I'll see ya at camp."Kiba said before leaping off into the trees back to his teammates.
Hinata, Shino, and Akamaru…
Akamaru slowly opened his puppy eyes and stood up sleepily. The white pup looked at his side for his master only to find empty space. Akamaru's drowsiness was soon forgotten when he noticed this. The pup ran out of the tent and started barking. This woke up Shino and Hinata. The bug user and Hyuuga crawled out of their tents still a bit sleepy.
"What is it Akamaru?"Shino asked. The pup kept barking at open space. Hinata soon took notice that the blonde isn't in the tent asleep. Hinata stood up and looked worried.
"Naruto-kun isn't here."Hinata commented. Shino stood up too and walked to her.
"Naruto isn't with you? And where is Kiba?" The bug user just realized that Kiba is gone too. Akamaru barked for a few more seconds before stopping and shook his tail happily looking at the forest. Shino and Hinata looked in the direction the pup is looking and soon enough a certain dog-boy emerged from the shadows. When Kiba reached them he simply picked up Akamaru and started packing up his tent.
"Where were you?"Shino asked when Kiba had his tent in his backpack and had the backpack on his back ready to leave.
"I just left to go take a quick soak. I found a river nearby and there I washed off a bit."Kiba answered with a smile. Shino was a bit suspicious about Kiba but shrugged it off seeing as Kiba wouldn't lie to him…often.
"Come on Hinata. We have to pack up our tents too."Hinata nodded at Shino. In minutes the bug user and Hyuuga had their tents in their backpacks and had their packs on their backs. Hinata looked around and almost forgot that Naruto isn't with them.
"Hey…where's Naruto?"Hinata asked. In seconds the blonde walked out of the trees around them. Hinata waved at him but the blonde didn't respond. Shino glanced at the fox-boy then looked ahead of their path.
"Now let's continue on our mission."Shino said. Kiba and Hinata nodded. The blonde gave a fake smirk and smile. Then the four shinobi continued to their destination.
A/N: Well…here's chapter two. I'm so happy with the last chapter and I guess I have decided that I will continue this story. Although I still have to ask my readers if you would like Naruto and Kiba back together, if the majority of you want the two boys together than I will see what I can do. Please review. Big thanks to my reviewers. I will make chapter three in a while though but it'll be here. Again, please review to tell me what you think. Well…until next time. See Ya! Oh and one more thing…I'm terribly sorry if this wasn't such a good chapter, I will try harder in the next one. Okay…See Ya!
