Friends?
Kiba had long since finished training with Hinata. He was really scared that Shino would bug (ha ha, get it "bug"?") him about Gaara and stuff but hey, we're talking about Shino. He would never do that… would he? As Kiba was wandering around Konoha he bumped in to occasional people like Naruto and Ino. But he always began wondering where Shino was and hoped he dropped the subject. Of course he didn't love Gaara! I mean they were dudes and plus they weren't even that close. He didn't love Gaara. That closed the subject. Kiba stopped at the academy to visit Iruka. The school was so small to him now, he remembered how it used to seem so big. He walked to the roof and saw the faces of the past hokages. He stopped on the final face and began to think about Gaara. Whoa… why did Gaara keep coming in his mind today? " It's all Shino's fault… he started it" Kiba said aloud. " What exactly did I start?" Kiba jumped. He hadn't even sensed Shino come. " Oh, hey Shino…" " Kiba, if what I said earlier is bothering you please forget it. It's just… you changed after He attacked… There was no more plausible reason except for that-…" Kiba turned and walked away from Shino, " Shino what happened changed everyone not just me…" " But it seemed to have effect you the most…" Shino replied. Kiba continued walking. He hadn't talked to Gaara in almost three years, hadn't seen since…The Attack. But what did Kiba care? Gaara was just like a summer camp buddy. You promise to keep in touch yet you never bother to pick up the phone. Kiba sighed. Why was every thing so difficult all of a sudden? What did Kiba do to deserve this, this… awkwardness? " Well, at least I have you buddy" Kiba said to Akamaru. Just then Akamaru jumped off Kiba and began to run away. " What!?! Akamaru!!!! Come back!!!!!" Kiba shouted as he ran after his dog. " Baka !!! DOG!!!!!BAKA!!!!!" Kiba ran after the stupid dog. He knew he should have bought a leash.. Eventually he heard Akamaru stop barking and got really frightened. Kiba ran even faster. At first it was silent then Kiba could hear "Shoo doggy, shoo!" Why did that seem so familiar? " Please Shoo!" The voice pleaded once more. Déjà vu! Where did he remember this? It seemed so, so clear as if it had only happened a day before. Kiba rounded an alley and saw Akamaru standing staring at a boy. A boy with blood red hair and green eyes. " G-Gaara?" The boy looked up and gave Kiba an odd look. "Kiba?" Kiba smiled, exposing his full smile and his sharp four fang teeth. " Dude! How long has it been?" Kiba asked his "summer camp" friend. "Wow, you got… taller?" Gaara commented. Wow, Gaara looks hot? WHOA!!! Did I just think that?!? What's wrong with me? Kiba thought to himself. He shook his head. " Gaara, what are you doing here?" "Oh… I don't know… I was walking in Suna and … I just ended up here. Weird huh?" Kiba looked at Gaara, he looked somewhat paler than usual and his eyes looked weary. "Gaara, you ok? You look sick." Kiba stepped closer to Gaara. Gaara muttered, " Y-Yeah I'm fine…" Just then Gaara collapsed into Kiba's arms. ( He fainted in other words.) Kiba blushed. " Yeah… this is kinda awkward." Well, Kiba couldn't just leave Gaara lying there. So he picked Gaara up ( AWKWARD!!!) and carried him to his house. He put Gaara on his couch and spread a blanket over him. " Well… this is awkward… one of my best friends just fainted on me, now he's sleeping on my couch…Wait!! Can Gaara sleep?!? Is he allowed to ?!?" Kiba smacked his fore head. He grabbed Gaara by the shoulders and shook him. Gaara blinked. " WHOA!!" He shot up and looked around. " Where am I? Kiba? What am I doing here?" Immediately Gaara felt nauseous and laid back down. " Kiba… how did I get here?" Gaara asked slowly. " Ummm, you kind of fainted on me… so…" Gaara began feeling dizzy he felt as if he were about to puke so he got up and ran to the restroom dropping to the toilet. ( how he knew where everything was, who knows?) Kiba was worried. What the hell was he going to do? He had never taking care of any one sick before, except for Akamaru but this is different than taking care of a dog. After Gaara had finished his episode he just stayed by the toilet too weak to move, too embarrassed to show his face. Kiba rubbed the back of his head. After while he walked over to Gaara who was still at the toilet. He sat down next to him. " S-sorry Kiba…" Gaara said his face turning red. Kiba smiled. " Aw, its okay Gaara…so… how are you feeling now?" Gaara winced, " I feel horrible…" then he turned back to the toilet to throw up once again. Kiba sighed. " Maybe you have a virus or something… maybe I should call Ino… she's better at this stuff than I am… Maybe I should call your sister…" "NO!!" Gaara shot up then went back to the toilet. " Don't call Temari… she… she's busy…" Gaara said cautiously. " In others words you hate her… right." " sure you can say that…" Gaara replied. " Well… I'll call Ino then… here," Kiba put his hand to Gaara's forehead then to his cheek. " Umm… Kiba what are you doing?" " I checking if you have a fever retard… well your hot… burning up actually… stay here I'm calling Ino." Kiba got up and left, leaving Gaara puking his guts out. Great Gaara, now you have some one taking care of your sick a , how long have you known this guy. Like really know him? Yeah not to long, yet here you are puking in his toilet? Nice, real nice. Shut up, Shukaku, I'm sick… that's my explanation now leave me alone. Kiba soon came back , with Ino. " Hi Gaara, how you feeling?" Ino asked. " How does it look like I'm feeling Twit?" Gaara replied angrily. Ino's eyebrow twitched.( anime style.)
One hour later…" So she basically said that I'm sick… right?" Gaara asked Kiba. " Yeah you have the Flu." Kiba responded, as he put a wet cloth on Gaara's head. " You're gonna have to stay put for a while… you can stay here… I guess." Well, I guess this is gonna be an awkward visit…
