Kiba: is it better then the last?

`K.S.': SHUT UP KIBA!

Sakura: hahahaha I think it is better.

`K.S.': thanks Sakura, I forgive you Kiba.

Kiba: Hn, ya sure, ok I'm getting bored. TO THE CHAPTER! KibaSaku owns nothing but this plot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 2

Kiba waltzed into the tower, it smelled like a hospital to him. He looked around him to see that no one was there; he climbed the stairs of the high building to a door that had a leaf on it. He opened it so he could see through the small crack. He didn't see Tsunade, but a kunoichi. She was about at his chin, maybe taller, she had cherry pink hair that was shoulder length or so, she was wearing a long sleeve light purple shirt with jeans and a pink belt was around her waist. The girl was sitting on the ground surrounded by medical scrolls, she groaned as he opened the door wider.

``Haruno, long time, no see!'' he said laughing at her as she looked at him with her bangs in her face. ``look at you all grown up, I haven't seen you all summer!'' he smiled at her the way he always did while he helped her up.

``Inuzuka, right back at you!'' She laughed back at him, he pulled his hair a little till he whined, ``but I wish you wouldn't call me by my last name all the time!'' she snapped.

``ok, ok calm down Sakura!'' he shouted sarcastically. ``So what have you been doing lately?''

``Don't act like you care'' she said pushing him a little she laughed at how he pretended to get hurt

``well, what did you learn from Tsunade?'' He really did care, he wondered how his best friends have been doing since he never saw them considering how busy he was. He and Sakura have known each other forever; she was the first girl he met out of his clan.

``well I guess I could show you, but not now, so why are you here?''

``I'm here to report to Tsunade about my single mission this morning.''

``okay, I'll go get her, wait here Kiba-san''

He nodded, `wait, did she call me Kiba-san?' oh well he thought, he leaned against the wall, how would school be once it started. `There probably going to have a back to school dance, he sighed, and I'll just have to ask Naruto all about it.' No girl would say yes to him, even Sakura. `WAIT, did I just consider asking Sakura Haruno out, NO WAY' he ignored her presence in his mind and looked himself over. His favorite pants were torn at the knees and the edges, his shirt was ripped and his leather jacket was scuffed up completely.

``Kiba, quick, put everything you were snooping through away, we're coming in!'' he heard Sakura's voice from the otherside of the door.

``What makes you think I was snooping!'' he smirked at her as she walked in.

``Oh because you're first name is Kiba and you're last name is Inuzuka, there for that makes you mischievous and full of yourself.'' She smirked back at him.

``Now now you two.'' Tsunade followed Sakura into the room; she had a green and purple kimono on with low pigtails. ``Kiba, back already, you need to learn not to push yourself so hard. Look at you!''

``No need to worry Tsunade-san, I'm fine.'' Kiba stated

``Sorry Kiba, but I don't believe you. Sakura after we are done here, I want you to look Kiba over would you?

``Yes ma'am, Tsunade-sama'' Kiba blushed, but Sakura couldn't tell, all she could see on his face was two red upside down triangles tattooed on his cheeks.

An hour later Kiba walked out of the door with the leaf carved into it. He saw the kunoichi waiting there for him.

``it's about time Kiba'' she smirked at him gently, ``I even had enough time to go get something, someone.''

Kiba tilted his head to the side slightly and blinked, he didn't understand what she ment at all, but he didn't want her to know that.

``Kiba if you have no idea what I'm talking about you can just say it, it's only me.'' She looked irritated, but she wasn't angry at the paranoid shinobi, she knew that was the attitude he possessed. All he did was nod; he should have seen that coming from her. Before he could say anything she pulled a small white and gray dog from her messenger bag, it wagged its tail at him.

``Akamaru!'' he shouted. The small dog jumped off of Sakura and on to the brunette's head still wagging wildly. The puppy hung its head over the boy's and licked his nose then barked. ``I haven't seen you since this morning!'' Kiba said still yelling. Sakura laughed at the way the animal and her friend played together as if they haven't seen each other in a long while. Suddenly Akamaru jumped onto Kiba's right arm and Sakura heard a small *crack*.

``YOW!'' Kiba yelped.

``Oh I forgot, I'm supposed to check you over!''

``It's ok I'm alright Sakura.''

``It doesn't sound like it,'' Sakura said looking at him a bit of worry in her emerald eyes, ``come with me'' she showed him to a room filled with scrolls and books. He looked around the room and sat down on a table. She sat down next to him and looked him over again. She put a type of ointment on his cut he had on the side of his eye, then she cleaned the dirt out of the wound on his shoulder and stitched it up.

``Ouch, Sakura-san that HURTS!''

``Well I knew you weren't gonna wanna take a pain pill so I just did it.''

``Is that it, are you done?''

``yep, you can leave now.'' She waved him away, patted Akamaru's head and walked out the door.

Sakura was strolling pleasantly down the road from the Hokage's tower, heading towards her own home when she heard a ninja's presence, following behind her; she quickly turned around pulling a kunai out of her bag.

``Sakura, wait up!'' an annoying voice called her; it was Kiba no doubt, running full speed towards her.

``Kiba you scared me, I thought you were-'' she stopped startled, he was fast, he was about one foot away from her already. She stepped back, blushing, from the frightening and slightly handsome encounter by the Chunin. He blushed back at her, seeing her eyes flash in the moonlight gave him butterflies.

``So, uhh, w- what do you want n- now?'' she asked stuttering like Hinata would around Naruto.

Kiba regained his pride so he wouldn't stutter, ``You said you would show me what you learned over the summer, there is only a week left until school starts up again and I wanted you to show me now, in case we don't see each other.''

``Oh'' Sakura replied obviously embarrassed, but Kiba couldn't tell, she quickly regained herself ``ok follow me'' she dragged him along again to a field surrounded by trees and a stream was at the Far East side, there were different flowers all around them. Akamaru, still with them, snapped at the Salmon flowing in the stream.

``Why are we here?'' Kiba asked, a questioning look across his face.

``Why not?'' she replied, you could tell by his face he wasn't amused, with her mind game. Sakura sighed, ``we're here because it calms me down, idiot.'' She smirked at him. ``Now, hold out your arm.''

Kiba held out his arm and rolled up his tattered jacket sleeve, she grabbed his hand which made him blush a little. She put her other hand over the gash in the inside of his elbow, where she heard it crack. She closed her eyes and seemed to be focused on the wound. With her chakra came a green light that Kiba saw matched her eyes perfectly. A few seconds later she removed her hand and the gash had vanished, effortlessly. All the boy did was stare in amazement at how much she had improved, but he was also staring at her.

`She looks beautiful in the moonlight' he thought, not worrying about her being in his mind at all.

She giggled at him and his dog's reaction, ``Okay I'll see you guys in a week.'' She smiled and walked away through the dark brush of the trees.

All Kiba could do was whisper ``Wow, I guess we'll be seeing her, huh Akamaru?''

``ARK ARK!''
