A/N Sorry about my bad updating skills, some shit went on, and well, I'm trying to update, I will update two today and a few tomorrow! Hopefully!

Kiba watched Shino, as he stared down at him. "You are lying. Why?" Shino either thought he was lying about being sick, or clawing himself and being unable to tell him. Kiba shrugged and Shino sighed, "Go home Kiba, I can't believe I worried. Baka." Kiba cringed, not expecting anything else, he flew out the window, walking slowly home, feeling sick, he collapsed at his door, coughing he swore he saw a lung come out. "Heh." He muttered opening the door; he fell inside stomach attaching him from the inside he felt as if spurs were bursting out from his stomach.

Kiba sighed, crawling to the living room, and pulling himself onto the couch. He closed his eyes exhausted. "People can't just kill me conventionally?" Kiba groaned as he heard people stop on the roof. Akamaru was nowhere to be seen. "Off with his girlfriend." Kiba carefully stood up, eying his window, he heard footsteps approach his window, sniffing the air, Kiba growled he recognized the scent. Kiba stumbled towards the door, "It's in my head." He muttered, coughing forcefully, he hoped it was just the odd illusions that had been assaulting him.

He opened the door, and his knees grew weak, it was the rogues. Kiba growled, stumbling back, "Get away!" He coughed falling to the ground. "We're here for the last test." Kiba tried to duck away, when one of them hit him with a numbing toxin. He flinched, "Now let's see how much pain it will take to kill you." Kiba's eyes widened, "Any last words before we begin?" Kiba's lax lips smiled crookedly, "At least I know Shino really hates me, I have a slight crush on a sinister bug man!" He laughed. They all laughed at that, and Kiba realized it was true. He chuckled softly as a punch landed to his stomach, Kiba felt odd, it seemed as if blood vessels were turning to ice and shattering.

Kiba flinched; it felt as if millions of splinters were coursing through his system. Bruises appeared everywhere, Kiba stared wide eyed at them, and they smirked stepping on his arm, the arm cracked as if a twig. Kiba screamed, the numbing agent vanishing, he squirmed but every move, every bone began splintering apart inside him, as if it was a chemical reaction occurring. Kiba screamed in agony, they watched as he writhed in pain, every movement assaulting him inside out.

The laughter drove him insane, he screamed, "Just kill me!" He begged, and they smirked, "You're almost dead." Kiba screamed as another kick landed right at his lungs. Kiba's eyes widened he heard a crack as if a huge slab of cement had just cracked inside him, and he could no longer breath in, or out , his eyes widened blood bubbling up. Kiba fell against the floor, not realizing he had begun to stand up. His eyes were wide, and he was unable to scream in agony or fear, he was really going to die.

His vision began fading, he saw stars the air seemed to die, and Kiba watched in slow motion as everything froze. Suddenly Shino was there, insects everywhere, the guys vanished, maybe they were an illusion? Kiba didn't know, everything was fading, he was unsure if death was supposed to be so agonizingly painful. Shino was suddenly next to him, "Kiba?" He muttered, seeming shocked. Kiba smiled faintly, falling into the darkness, he could hear his heart slowing, he felt the numbness, Death, how simple, now all the pain was gone, and it felt as if he was floating for hours, not a thought entering his head.

Suddenly all the pain returned, Kiba screamed, no sound was heard. Kiba fell into a painful darkness, he cracked his eyes open, and Shino was holding his hands to Kiba's chest, Kiba felt insects in his lungs; he chocked blood pouring from his mouth. Kiba coughed weakly, drowning in his own blood. Shino stared at him, lifting him up, his blood flowed out. Kiba felt a scream, every part of him was broken, he screamed in agony, and Shino stared at him, clapping a hand over Kiba's mouth. "Shut up." Kiba almost laughed, he was dying and his team mate wanted him to shut up.

Kiba bit forcefully on his lip, almost laughing that his jaw was the only thing that wasn't broken. "Kiba what the hell happened?" Kiba opened his mouth but only a whimper escaped he bit back down fighting a whimper, it didn't matter he would die, he wanted to. Shino seemed to read his thoughts "Stop it!" He ordered and he focused more insects wiggled inside Kiba. "If you told me my insects could take the poison." Kiba managed a dry chuckle, coughing weakly. His eyes closed, he welcomed the darkness.

When he awoke again, everything felt numb, Kiba tried to sit up, when he realized he couldn't move at all. Staring at the ceiling, he wondered what was going on. Shino's sunglasses were suddenly above him. "Kiba." Shino said calmly, and Kiba would have nodded, if he could move. "My insects numbed you while they work, now talk." Kiba glared, "Why didn't you let me die?!" He coughed unable to do more than growl pitifully.

Shino stared at him, "Why would I do that?" He almost seemed genuinely curious. Kiba sighed, "Whatever, I'll die soon anyway." Shino sighed, "Kiba." Kiba just closed his eyes ignoring Shino; at least things were staying, no more flickering of reality. He suddenly wondered why Shino was there. "Why are you here?" He remembered his lungs had cracked and he was dying, then Shino had suddenly appeared in his room. Shino responded, "You were sick, so I made sure you were ok." Kiba laughed faintly at that. "Kiba. What is wrong?" Kiba smiled faintly, "Since when do you care Shino?" The question caught in his throat as he remembered his last words to the men. Shino really was an amazing Shinobi, he hated Kiba yet he helped him…

Kiba sighed, he could become a rogue ninja, and after all he didn't deserve to be here. He clenched remembering his inability to struggle against them, Shino watched as Kiba seemed to be upset. "Kiba, what happened to you?" Kiba ignored him, planning Different ways to end his existence; he was a worthless piece of dog. Shino watched him calmly.

"Kiba." Shino stated getting the other ninja's attention. "What do you want?" Shino read something in Kiba's eyes, Kiba guessed his thoughts were shining through, "Your insects off so I can leave." Kiba said softly. Shino raised his eyebrow, "To go where?" Kiba smiled sadly, "The cheerful river." Kiba chose drowning, simpler way to die. Shino raised an eyebrow at that, "I'll let you, I'll help, if you tell me why, and I agree with your reason."

Kiba raised his eyes to meet Shino's, "Why would you care?" Shino sighed, and remained silent, "Tell me, let me decide why or why not to care." Shino stated, staring at Kiba, Kiba wasn't quite sure, but he thought Shino was sitting on him. Kiba sighed, and began the story, starting with Shino and Hinata vanishing, and the deal with the rogues, and what happened there, He froze after the drugs, not wanting his weakness to show, he almost skipped it, but Shino looked him in the eyes, and said, "Continue…" And Kiba said exactly what it was that happened, no sugar coating, tears fell from Kiba's eyes, at his weakness. He finished with his discussion with Shino, and then the attack. Shino stared at him for a while, Kiba skipped the whole crush part, but he winced, so Shino may or may not have noticed. "You skipped your last words…" Kiba mentally cursed, "They were unimportant." Kiba smiled faintly, and always unfulfilled…

Shino gazed at him, "Ok." Kiba looked at him hopefully, but Shino continued, "That was not worth your death." Kiba glared, "Shino… You promised!" Shino shook his head, "If I agree with your reason, so far you just feel incredibly weak, which can be fixed by training." Kiba stared at him… "Not everything can be fixed by training Shino…" Kiba said defeated, his crush, could never be fixed like that without smashing it to bits first… "Kiba, you are not telling me something." Kiba smiled faintly, "Sometimes there's nothing to tell Shino." Kiba smiled, and closed his eyes, forcing the tears back, a few fell into the corners, but he kept his lids tightly sealed.

"Kiba." Shino stated in a warning tone, Kiba sighed, "What?" He said bitterly, Shino always talked down to him, no matter what he did.

A/N what will Shino say?! Anyone think in bleach Rukia's brother and Ichigo would make a hot yaoi couple?!
