Thank you!

"Why are you here?" Kaira asked, wondering how he knew where she lived. Kiba opened his mouth to speak, but noticed Kaira carrying a lot of bags, so he ran over to her.
"Need help with that?" Kiba asked, pointing down at the bags.
I'd rather die than ask for help from an Inuzuka. Kaira thought, but painted a smile at him. "If you want to." She said. He took most of the bags and walked with her to her house.
"Oh, and I'm here because my mom dropped me off here." Kiba sighed like it was a lot of trouble. Kaira opened her door and walked straight to her kitchen.
"Is that so? How nice of her." Kaira said through her teeth.
"I know, I'd do anything rather than being inside a cat's house." Kiba shrugged, not meaning to make Kaira angry. I guess it just comes naturally for him. "She saw the scratch on my cheek." He finally said when they put the bags on her table. "Actually, Iruka-sensei told her about our fight in class today." Kiba muttered.
"Oh, do you want anything to drink?" Kaira randomly asked. Kiba gave her a confused look. The whole time he was talking, she was wondering what you usually do when someone you don't like is a guest at your house, but she ended up treating him like a regular guest. She cocked her head to the side, when he didn't answer. "Were you talking?"
"Ruff!" Akamaru barked, startling Kaira. Kiba pointed at her and started laughing.
"Shut it, dog." Kaira snarled.
"As I was saying…"
"Don't ignore me!" Kaira made a fist, ready to swing it at him, but…
"Point is, they want us to make a pact." Kiba cut her off and she let her fist go and stared, dumbfounded, at him. "Do you know what a pact is?" He talked to her like she was a child.
"Yes I do!" She rolled her eyes and bent down and looked at Akamaru, who was wagging his tail at her. She held out her hand and he sniffed it and barked lightly. "What do you think, Akamaru?" Kiba was on edge, watching his enemy touch this precious Akamaru. "A pact…"
"Mom wasn't pleased when she found out that you gave me this cut." Kiba added, touching his cheek and recalling how his mom yelled at him and told him that next time a cat tries to scratch him, to just knock her out. Then a few minutes later how she yelled at him for getting into a fight and to never fight with an alley again.
"I can agree to it as long as you are no where near me." Kaira smiled and Kiba swore he saw flowers surrounding her. "Unless we're in the same squad like we're expected to be."
"Expected?" Kiba repeated, drawing attention to Kaira's slip. So she talks about me when I'm not around. "By who?"
"Oh! Uh…" She started blushing from embarrassment and picked up Akamaru and petted him vigorously, "I'll agree to the pact!" Kaira rushed out.
"You agree?" Kiba asked, making sure she wasn't doing it in jest. "All the pact is showing we won't physically fight again."
"Doesn't sound too hard." Kaira said, her head spinning for some reason. "As long as I can verbally insult you daily, it's all good."
"Hey, um, your stomach, is it okay?" Kiba asked, putting his hand behind his head.
"That was a lame pact, you know?" Kaira half-smiled.
"Stomach." Kiba repeated.
"Yeah, I think I'm fine." Kaira tried.
"You don't look so well." Kiba stated.
"Meoww." Mei budded in, rubbing against Kiba's leg. Kiba smiled down at Mei. He has no problem with her, just her owner.
"I think I'm suffocating." Kaira huffed, falling to her knees and letting Akamaru down. He faced her a whimpered. Kiba ran over to her and bent down towards her.
"Kaira!" Kiba said her name so smoothly and naturally. She was shocked by the worry in his tone.
"I'm suffocating from dogs, can you get out?" Kaira ruined their first touching moment. Kiba glared down at her and picked up Akamaru.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going." Kiba said, walking for the door. He opened the door and looked back into the kitchen. "See you tomorrow, Kaira." Then he shut the door and left. Kaira didn't hear him because she was busy looking at Mei. After hearing the door close, Kaira sat up on the floor and stretched.
"A pact, huh." Kaira muttered, staring at the floor. "Our first, and last physical fight…" She smiled and felt warm. Then she stood up and slammed her fist on the table, "Well, that sucks!"
"Meow?"
"I was hoping to knock some more sense into him." Kaira said in a angry manner. "Oh well, nothing to do now." She shrugged and started unloading her groceries.
"Meow!"
"I know your opinion, Mei." Kaira turned away from her cat and took out a bowl. "Here, why don't you have some milk?"
.:The Next Day:.
The next day was like and unlike many other. First off, Kaira and Mei was to school extra earlier, which is like other days, but a bit strange since it's the final two days, so many students start slacking about this time around.
Then, when Kiba and Akamaru came, Kaira stayed silent and so did Kiba, so this is their first day without fighting and it went by totally noticed, so of course, Iruka-sensei drew attention to them and made the whole class give them a round of applause, like it wasn't fuel on the fire.
As conclusion for the day, the students were quizzed in a separate room and if they passed, they get their headband and were officially a genin! Of course, Kaira had no problem with the test and she got her headband. Most all of the class passed, so Iruka told them the next day they would be put into squads, and dismissed the class, but not before looking at the calm Kaira and Kiba.
.:The Next Day:.
The day started off all well, like yesterday, but Kaira and Kiba were tired of not talking, er, insulting one another, so they finally gave in.
"Why would you put your headband around your waist?" Kiba mocked her. Kaira looked down at her waist before reaching across and flicking his shiny headband on his forehead.
"At least I didn't shine my new headband. Too happy?" Kaira teased.
"At least my headband is on my forehead! Real ninjas wear it on their foreheads!" Kiba fought. Kaira laughed and signaled to their classmates, such as Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, and others.
"They aren't wearing it on their forehead. Are you insulting them as well?" Kaira smirked. Their classmates were thankful that today was the last day of all this fighting… hopefully.
"No, just you, cuz you look funny wearing one." Kiba grinned. Then they clashed again.
"Alright, class, for today, I will just announce the squads, then your parents are free to come and celebrate with you during lunch, but after lunch you will have to meet up with your squads and spend time bonding with your new teammates and new sensei." Iruka-sensei said, taking out a piece of paper. "I will now read the squads…" Everyone in the room was anxious to hear about their squads.
"Don't hold your squad down, cat." Kiba whispered to Kaira when Iruka started naming people in their class.
"Like heck I will." Kaira spat back. "Just make sure your squad doesn't get in the way of my squad." Kiba and Kaira shared a nice, long glare, seeing as this is the end of them sitting next to one another. Finally, they both turned away and directed their attention to Iruka-sensei.
"Squad 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha."
Kaira perked up when she heard Sasuke's name. That means she won't be in a squad with him…
"Squad 8: Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame."
Kaira quickly turned to Kiba just in time to see him smirk. Kiba then petted Akamaru and Kaira looked down. She was expected to be paired with Kiba, and if not, Kiba, then surely Sasuke. She was somewhat sad to not be in a squad with not only Sasuke, but Kiba too.
"Squad 9: Kaira Nekoosa," Kaira shot her head up to Iruka-sensei and she leaned forward, "Kimiko Kazumi, and Zai Kazumi."
"You're kidding!" A blonde girl in the front stood up. Iruka-sensei stopped reading his list and looked at the girl.
"Kimiko…" Iruka started. Oh, so the girl was Kaira's teammate, Kimiko Kazumi.
"Why am I with Zai in a squad! I'm with him everyday at home!" Kimiko whined. Then the person sitting next to her pulled her down and sighed.
"Kimi, quit complaining, at least you know your team…" The boy said.
"But, Shika-"
"Squad 10: Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Chouji Akimichi "
"Congrats, Shika, you're in a squad." Kimi cheered, patting the boy next to her, Shikamaru, on the back.
"That is the last of the squads, so please remember to meet up with your teammates after lunch and your team leaders, will meet up with you after awhile. I hope you all become successful ninja." Then Iruka left the room. Maybe to go cry? Neh, oh well.
"Meow."
"You ready to go eat, Mei? I'm hungry." Kaira said. She looked over at Kiba, who was petting Akamaru and smiling like crazy. "I guess this is the last time I'll be sitting by you, dog." Kaira said stubbornly. Kiba directed his attention towards her.
"I guess it will be." Kiba agreed. "Well, next time we meet, we'll be full ninjas." He said, looking around nervously. Kaira looked away. They were both wondering of ways to say bye. Wave? Too simple. Shake hands? No. Hug? Heck no.
"Hello~!" yelled a loud, annoying-ish voice, breaking their contact. The voice also hit Kaira's back, making Kaira tumbled forward and landing in Kiba's chest. Both of them took awhile to figure out their position, but when they did, they jumped away from each other so fast they couldn't be human. Then both their faces were redder than they ever were since they've been alive. Kimiko, the girl who pushed Kaira, playfully watched the two and smirked, her mind wondering.
"Uhm…" Kiba started. "Bye." He waved and quickly walked past her, she nodded and turned around after she made sure he was gone.
"I'm Kimiko Kazumi, but mostly everyone calls me Kimi; I'm your new teammate." Kimi giggled.
"N-Nice to meet you, Kimi. I'm-"
"Kaira Nekoosa, of the Nekoosa clan. It's a pleasure to meet you." Kimi smiled sweetly. "So tell me, you and Kiba, huh?" Kaira jumped and shook her head. "Hmm? I always found it strange that the two of you fight everyday."
"Kimi, don't pick on the poor girl." Her brother said, walking over to them. "My name is Zai Kazumi, Kimiko's older brother." Zai and Kimiko looked nothing alike, except maybe their eyes, but even those were different colors. Zai had shaggy black hair and light blue eyes that seemed almost white, whereas, Kimiko had long blonde hair that she put in pigtails, tied with blueish-purple ribbons, and bright green eyes.
"Older brother by two and a half minutes!" Kimiko growled. "Don't mind Zai, he's not the sharpest tool in the place where you keep tools." Kaira tried to smile. This was her new team?
