Author's Note: Well, sorry it took me a while. As some of you might know, my internet sucks. Plus my computer broke down, so I'll have to buy a new one. And all of you, ALL OF YOU know how freakin' expensive a computer is. So in the mean time, I'll be using my cousin's computer...which she only lets me use for thirty minutes. Not enough time to make an awesome chapter, but enough to update.

Second Chapter:
Life and Difficulties: Inuzuka Kiba

Updated: 04/11/06

By: Shanghai Honey


Jiraiya kicked the soda machine frantically, frustrated with his results.

"DAMN SODA! LET ME DRINK YOU!" he shouted with fury.

Orochimaru watched the pathetic scene from across the room and crossed his arms. I mean, why waste all that effort when the drinking fountain is right next to him? He would never come to understand how Jiraiya's brain works...or how it's even alive for that matter.

Jiraiya kicked the machine again and stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"Dangit." he cursed under his breath. "Oro, do you have a dollar?" he finally sucked up his pride and asked. Orochimaru simply gave him the 'stare'.

"And what if I do?" he raised an eyebrow.

"And what if I know what you really do in the boy's locker room?" Jiraiya looked smug.

Orochimaru instantly reached for something in his pockets. "I'll never hear the end of this." he muttered and threw something to Jiraiya. The white haired man looked pretty satisfied with himself and tossed the coin in the air.

"Thanks." he smirked. "Tsunade refused to lend me any money, thinking I'll just spend it on porn." he rolled his eyes.

"Wouldn't you?" Orochimaru looked un-interested.

"Of course." said Jiraiya. "But I only want to buy a soda." he honestly replied. "Dangit." nothing appeared out of the soda machine. "Can I borrow another?" he pleaded.

Orochimaru scoffed. "If I give you a dollar...," he held a dollar bill in the air for EVERYONE to see. "Will you promise not to be stupid?" he quirked an eyebrow.

Jiraiya shrugged. "I will try."

"And you have to be evil, we can't forget about evil." Orochimaru smirked, EVILY!

Jiraiya sighed. "Fine," he rolled his eyes, erratically. "I'll try to be evil for your sake." he tried grabbing the dollar from out of Oro's hand.

"Here you go." Orochimaru threw the dollar on the floor, watching Jiraiya foolishly go for it like it was a million dollar bill. "I will see you again soon." he laughed EVILY.

POOF!

The roomfell silent for a while now.

"What was that all about?" Jiraiya looked confused.

Orochimaru cupped his chin. "Hmm, that didn't go quite as I hoped." he muttered.

"What were you tyring to do?" asked Jiraiya.

Orochimaru gave him an honest answer. "Disappear in a cloud of smoke. Evil people do it all the time." he said. Jiraiya shrugged. He never understood how Orochimaru's mind worked. Evil this, evil that. What was wrong with the guy? He'll never know. "I'll try again."

"You go ahead and do that." Jiraiya threw him an odd look.

POOF!

The room fell into an awkward silence...again.

"Huh. Guess that didn't go well either...," Jiraiya looked bored.

"Nope." said Orochimaru. "Guess you'll have to watch me walk awayin an EVIL manner?" he shrugged and attempted to walk away, EVILY.

Jiraiya cringed. "Trust me, Oro. I do not wanna watch you walk away AT ALL." he looked disgusted. "Unless you were some hot, naked chick. But honestly? What are the chances of that?" he nearly choked from laughter.

Orochimaru threw him a dirty glare. "You'll regret saying that. I will have my revenge!"

POOF!

VERY awkward silence.

"You should really work on that." Jiraiya patted him sternly on the shoulder.


Sakura gracefully turned the page to her newest Victoria's Secret catalog and her eyes widened. It was the usual, day four, in Sharingan High School. Students threw paper airplanes across the room and she'd ignore it.

It was useless to teach a class like this. All they do is ignore you, doing nothing...nothing at all. She once consulted this with the principal, but he ALSO ignored her. They ALL ignored her. So she'll just ignore them...yeah, that's right. SHE'LL IGNORE THEM ALL!

"I can't believe they made Anko wear that!" Sakura nodded her head and continued to look at the catalog. Naruto looked over her shoulder and drooled.

"That girl is HOT." Naruto continued to drool.

Sakura simply rolled her eyes. "That is the sickest thing I have ever heard of." she spat.

"What?" Naruto shrugged. "Do you know her?"

Sakura imitated a shrug. "What's it to you?"

"Can you hook me up-,"

"EW!" Sakura slapped his head.

And just then, Sasuke Uchiha, big man on campus, walked in.A disgusted look was plastered on his face, was he watched Naruto fool around with the new teacher. It literally burned his eyes, seeing the two bond with a, somewhat, resepcted student, teacher relationship.

"Chouji, will you stop chopping onions for at least one second!" Sasuke snapped.

"But I need them for my onion sandwhich!" Chouhi whinned frantically.

Sasuke wiped the tears from his eye sockets. "I hate everything." he muttered.

"That's the spirit!" Orochimaru suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

POOF!

He disappeared...

Or tried to...

"Dammit." he cursed and walked out of the room like a NORMAL evil person.

Meanwhile, when Sakura hadn't even noticed Orochimaru's humiliating non disappearing act, she watched Kiba talking to himself in a very evil manner. Oro would've been proud.

"Akamaru, you idiot, why did you have to go and-,"

"Kiba, are you talking to yourself?" Sakura appeared behind him.

Kiba nearly jumped out of his seat, and panted. "What are you-,"

"ACHOO!" Sakura sneezed. "What the...," she sneezed again.

Kiba looked nervous and tried to shield something away from the crazy sneezing teacher. 'Oh no, she's allergic to dogs...,' he began to sweat.

"Ah...ah...ACHOO!" she wiped the drops of tears that made its way in her eyes. "What's happening to me?" she sneezed non stop.

"Maybe I should go-,"

"NO! STAY!" she dragged him down.

"Arf!" something in his bag barked.

There was a silent pause.

"What was that?"

"NOTHING!" Kiba quickly replied. "Um, I think you're just imagining things...heh...," he laughed nervously.

Sakura quirked an eyebrow.

"I DID NOT BRING A DOG INTO THIS CLASS!" he roared.

Sakura stepped back."You did what?"

"I said I did not bring a dog into this class."

"Where is this dog?" Sakura began to panick.

"Did you not hear me right?" Kiba rolled his eyes. "I said I did not bring a dog into class. With the italic word not and everything!" he threw his arms in the air.

"Hey, you mentioned it. Not me." Sakura backed away. "Get the dog out-,"

"I can't!" he growled.

"Why not? It's simple-,"

"No." Kiba pressed his fingers against his bag. "I can't because...," he gulped.

Sakura leaned in closer. With each passing minute, she grew curious.

"I need your help." he muttered.

"Well I-," Sakura snapped out of her angered moment. "You said what?"

Kiba rolled his eyes. "I need your help." he repeated a little louder.

Sakura along with almost everyone else in the room gaped.

"Idiot, don't ask help from a teacher." Sasuke scowled."She'll just make things worse-,"

"Well who else am I supposed to ask?" Kiba put on a lovely display of his sharp, very sharp teeth. Sasuke sneered at the pathetic loser, in his opinion, and snorted. "So what?" he faced Sakura. "Are you gonna help me or not?"

Sakura, looking too flattered to even speak. Sheopened her mouth to say something. "I...," she started. "Sure." she shrugged.

"Meet me after school." he said, almost regretting for asking. "In Konoha's biggest park." he said, and then went on with his business, pretending he never had a conversation with her in the first place.

Sakura looked bewildered.


"Took you long enough." Kiba snorted.

"Sorry," Sakura gave him a sheepish look. "I had to get my allergy shots...and Naruto wanted to come along." she sighed.

"So where's the party!" He pranced around the field.

"And you wonder why people dislike you so much?" Kiba muttered.

Naruto and Sakura ignored his sour attitude. "So what's the problem?" she asked.

Kiba had a look of terror on his face. This must be serious. "Well you see...," he stared off completely frightened to death."Lately, Akamaru's been acting very strange."

Naruto quirked an eyebrow. "You mean the dog?"

"Yes, I mean the dog." Kiba twitched. "I finally realize what's been going on. For the past four weeks, he's been avoiding me, and visiting other people's houses. Very disturbing seeing how he is MY dog." he pointed out clearly. "He just wouldn't talk to me." he looked depressed.

This would've qualified as one of those 'sad moments'. But Naruto and Sakura looked quite disturbed. They were speachless. Well? Sakura was speachless, Naruto wanted to laugh.

"So I followed him...," his face turned into a sour one. "And I found out he was having an affair!" he threw everyone a deadly look. "AN AFFAIR!" he barked.

Sakura coughed nervously. "Okaaay," she watched Naruto rolling on the ground, laughing his butt off. "Continue." she gestured him on. Quite eager to hear the rest of the story.

"Akamaru has a girlfriend, A GIRLFRIEND!" the louder he got, the harder Naruto's laughter was heard. "And he's thinking about having sex with that stupid, evil puppy! I need you to talk to him-,"

"You mean...Akamaru?" she gulped.

Kiba nodded his head. "Yeah. Tell him it's wrong to have sex at two years old!"

Sakura remained calm...or tried to. "Isn't he a little older in dog years?"

"It's still pretty young."

"True." Sakura shrugged.

"So, will you help?" Kiba had the most pleading look in his eyes.

Sakura, being the generous person she most likely is, groaned. "Fine." she almost looked unsure of herself. "But I can't speak to a dog! Only weirdo's do that!" she pouted.

"I do it all the time." mentioned Kiba.

Sakura paused. "Like I said, only weirdo's do that."

"Well you promised to help, so you have to whether you like it or not!" Kiba lectured her. "Now, I toldAkamaru to meet us at the park an hour ago, he'll be here any second-,"

"Arf!" a bark was heard from behind.

Naruto finally got over his laughter. "Hey, I think we got company." he pointed at the dog next to him.

"Akamaru!" Kiba almost hid behind Sakura. "Heh, I told you we were having a few guest over, remember?"

Akamaru barked a few times.

"That's not true! Of course I tell you EVERYTHING! You're the one who tells me NOTHIING!" Kiba pointed an acusing finger at the dog infront of him.

"Arf! Arf!"

"Don't you judge me, Akamaru. Don't you dare judge me!" Kiba snapped his attention directly towards Sakura and crossed his arms.

Naruto and Sakura stood there, looking as confused as ever.

Ok, Sakura looked confused. Naruto wanted to laugh.

"Go ahead, Haruno-sensei. Give him the talk." Kiba winked twice.

Sakura had no idea what that meant, but decided it would be better not to ask. "Um...Akamaru-chan." she bent down to the dogs level, or tried to. "I hear...you've been thinking of having...well...that certain kind of dance." she shrugged, completely confused by her words.

Akamaru tilted his head to the right.

"You know? The dance." Sakura whispered.

Akamaru barked.

"That's not true, Akamaru! I never did such a thing!" Kiba spat.

Akamaru growled.

"You shouldn't be following my lead anyway!" Kiba snapped.

Akamaru barked non stop.

"WHAT!" Kiba attempted to throw himself on Akamaru. But Naruto held him back, despite his utter disgust of doing so.

"Okaaay." said Sakura. "Now, Akamaru." she patted his head gently. "I think the wise thing to do is wait. Wait till you're a little order...how about a year from now?" she suggested.

Akamaru barked.

"I have no idea what that means." Sakura sighed.

"Arf! Arf!" a seemingly different bark came from behind.

Everyone turned their backs to see a smaller version of Akamaru, but with black fur.

"Hell no." Kiba's eyes widened.

Sakura gasped and picked the dog up in her hands. "So cute!" she squealed and squeezed the little thing to death.

"No wonder Akamaru wants to get some." said Naruto.

Kiba cringed. "That is the sickest thing I have ever heard of." he nearly gagged.

"So this is Akamaru's girlfriend." Sakura smiled.

"Arf!" Akamaru jumped happily in the air.

Kiba scoffed. "She's not his girlfriend!"

"What's her name?" Sakura continued to squeeze the dog with her arms.

Kiba frowned. "She doesn't have a name."

"Really?" Naruto grew a little too excited. "Can I name her then?"

"Whatever." said Kiba.

"Nuh uh! I'm naming her." said Sakura.

Naruto pouted. "No, I wanna name her! Kiba, who gets to name her?" asked Naruto, shoving Sakura's face away with his hand.

"Hey!" Sakura nearly bit it off. "Choose once and for all! Then I can teach her some doggy tricks!"

"I don't care." Kiba replied with less enthusiasm. "Give her a name that'll go with her. Like...Dumb Mutt? Or maybe Super Bitch. I don't know, something like that." Naruto and Sakura threw him odd looks. "Something that'll suit her." he replied casually.

"Yes, we're gonna teach her lots of tricks once we get her a name." Sakura jumped excitingly.

"Oh, I have a name! What about Cornus?" said Naruto.

Kiba looked bored. "I said to give her a name. Not a stupid one." he crossed his arms. "Although...," Kiba thought about it.

"Oh, and we can teach her some gymnastics...," everyone ignored Sakura.

"Ooo! I know! What about Furryballina?" asked Naruto.

Kiba groaned. "Sure, than maybe she could kill herself afterwards..,"

"And I'll teach her to sing, and play dead-,"

"Let's just hope she stays dead." muttered Kiba.

"What about Alanasas?" Naruto shrugged.

Kiba raised an eyebrow. "Where do you come up with all these stupid names?"

"And then I'll teach her to use a fork, a spoon, maybe even the toilet!" sakura snapped her fingeres.

Then something in Naruto's mind clicked. "What about Rugbutt?"

Sakura stopped talking and Kiba didn't look surprised at all.

"I'm not teaching anyone named Rugbutt anything...," muttered Sakura.

"Just a suggestion." Naruto shrugged.

Just then, Akamaru barked, something Naruto and Sakura would never understand.

Kiba had bubbles forming in his eyes. "Really? Akamaru, you'd wait another year for me?"

Akamaru barked happily.

"Oh, Akamaru!" Kiba ran towards the mutt.

"Arf!"

"Akamaru!"

"ARF!"

"AKAMARU!"

The two hugged into the sunset and Rugbutt stumbled across of Kiba's lap and licked his hand gently.

"Rugbutt, I guess having you around won't be so bad." Kiba placed a stern hand on her back.

Rugbutt barked and cuddled into his lap. Drops of tears made it's way in Sakura's eyes.

"That is so sweet." she sniffed.

Naruto crossed his arms. "This is the sappiest thing I've ever seen in my life." he muttered.

"Kiba-kun!" Sakura placed a hand on Kiba's shoulders.

Kiba flashed Sakura an appreciative grin. "Thanks, Haruno-sensei. For everything." he patted Akamaru's head to no end.

Sakura smiled and pulled something out of her bag."Congratulations, Inuzuka Kiba. You are officially invited onto my favorites list!" she cheered and threw confetti all over the place. Kiba looked confused.

"What?" he scrunched his nose.

"My favorites list." she threw something similar to a scroll, in Kiba's face.

He picked it up and saw the words

Favorites list

And Uzumaki's name written underneath. Kiba simply snorted. But gladly signed the piece of paper anyways. "This is stupid beyond reason." he chuckled.

"That's exactly what I thought!" said Naruto.

"IT'S NOT STUPID!" Sakura pounded both their heads into the ground...not literally.

"So Haruno-sensei-,"

"Sakura." she corrected.

Kiba smirked. "Sakura." he rolled his eyes. "Do I get special privileges or something?" he wiggled his eyebrows.

Sakura grins were frantic. "Well, you get to eat in class during lunch, if that's what you mean?"

"Alright!" Kiba and Naruto did a hi five. "The cafeteria stinks!"

"Of course it does. I wouldn't want my precious, most favorite students getting sick because of the cafeteria." smirked Sakura.

"YEA! I love being on the favorites list!" Kiba punched the air with his fist.

"I just don't wanna eat in the cafeteria!" Naruto punched his fist in the air as well.

Sakura laughed. "Come one! Cheeseburgers and fries on me!"

"WHOO!" Kiba and Naruto chanted.


"No fair! You cheated!" Naruto pointed a finger at Kiba.

"Nuh uh! Just because you SUCK at monopoly, doesn't mean you have to take it all out on me!" Kiba scoffed.

Sakura came inbetween the two. "You guys, monopoly is a game to be worshiped. Not to be fighting over." she said with much knowledge.

Naruto and Kiba threw eachother weird glances.

"I won't even pretend to know what that means." they muttered.

"Hey! Is that a fifty dollar bill you're hiding under your oversized jacket?" Naruto's eyes flamed red.

Kiba coughed nervously. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Naruto pulled something from his sleeve. "I KNEW IT!"

"It's not what it looks like!"

In a dark corner, was a red haired boy. He watched the sight infront of him and so did the rest of the class. Leaning on the walls, he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes with jealousy.

Sasuke watched the scene with the two idiots, and the lame teacher. It was a poor sight to his eyes. It burned...literally.

"Chouji, what did I tell you about chopping onions in my face?" Sasuke growled.

"Sorry." Chouji moved away.

Sasuke wiped the tears from his eyes and narrowed them towards Sakura. Kiba actaully asked for help. Something he would never do until she showed up. Naruto was actaully being...civil. Something he would never be until she showed up.

What was with her? Even Itachi, his older brother would praise her on rare occasions. It was a definite mystery to Sasuke, but he wouldn't dare stick around to find out. Never in his life, will he be civil with anyone.

"They look like they're having fun." Lee watched his teacher and the two loud mouths playing another round of monopoly.

Neji focused his eyes on Lee and glowered down at him. "Shut up." he muttered.

"Troublesome." yawned Shikamaru.

I wonder who Sakura's next victim is?
