Hey, I'm back.

I know it's been ages and unfortunately I lost that half-finished Chapter 3 but I'm back with a vengeance and keen as to finish this story. hyuugahinata247 thanks for your continued support. 3

"Why do you have to be so god damn stubborn?"

Sakura had never been a particularly patient person and Kiba's tough guy attitude wasn't the easiest thing in the world to deal with. Even Naruto with the way that he carried on as a genin hadn't ticked her off the way that this did.

"You think that I ended up the most powerful jounin in the village by being a pussy every time I got a scratch?"

He knew that it was an exaggeration, a big one considering it wasn't him sitting in the now defiled Hokage chair but something about impressing the girl beside him just felt right. It couldn't hurt if she thought he was a catch.

"You'll be weak as shit if you die from that wound, it should have healed by now with your Inuzuka healing abilities."

Again Kiba was impressed. He hadn't expected her to have had experience with the medical aspects of his clan's biology. Probably another reason she was being hailed as the best medic Nin alive.

"What's the worst that could come from getting the attention of a cute nurse like yourself?"

His smirk told her the whole story, he was laughing at her. He didn't take her seriously as a ninja. He thought he was just 'babysitting' her like he'd told Naruto.

Kiba of course wasn't doing this at all, he was just trying to make a joke but then again, this might have been why girls didn't tend to last long around him. He made jokes that gave the wrong impression, especially to girls who took themselves as seriously as Sakura. He still hadn't grasped that the female mind didn't operate the same as his. In his defence neither did guys minds, he was part dog in spirit after all.

He understood fighting however so the chakra fuelled slap coming for his face made sense made sense enough for him to move his head out of the way.

"Joke! I swear to god it was a joke. Please don't kill me."

This time his smirk seemed more playful than arrogant, Sakura let the matter drop with a low growl. Now that was something that Kiba understood. A little taken aback at how sexy it sounded he just pulled up his pant leg to expose the bandages that covered the wound.

Sakura moved closer and with delicate hands undid the bandage to look at the wound, this issue with this is that it placed her right under Kiba's nose and secondly, right next to the fairly sizable erection that he was sporting.

As she gently worked her way around the wound with trained hands, she trickled chakra into the cut. The reason behind the continued pain had been the deep tissue damage, the cut had come from a special earth style jutsu designed to tear tissue rather then cut like a regular blade.

"Why didn't you get this looked at sooner? It's pretty serious."

The concern was evident in her voice, breaking Kiba out of the trance her scent was sending him into.

"I did, some intern with a sparkling personality sorted me out before I went to see you and Naruto before the mission."

Sakura let out a pained sigh, "was she a large lady with a face like a dropped meat pie?"

"Come to think of it, yeah she was. That description is scary accurate by the way." Was the reply, along with a flash of his canine smile.

"It's no problem for me to heal, it's just I wanted to check who had looked at it. If it was one of the senior staff then they should have picked up on it and a jounin of your calibre should have been examined by a senior nurse."

"Well that sucks, I could have been looked after by you rather than the male nurses I've had to see all year."

Sakura knelt down next to Kiba's leg to get a closer look as she began flowing more chakra into the sealed cut, the bruised muscle slowly joining itself back together and recovering.

We're so close, just do it. Grab his junk, we've already seen his abs. you never know, he might want it.

Sakura wasn't the type to lose focus on the task at hand but with her task being Kiba inner Sakura was pretty keen on her hand on another task he might have. It was a bad idea to be so close to him she decided but when she finished and got to her feet she wasn't expecting Kiba to pull her onto his lap.

"Thanks for patching me up Doc."

Whispered into her ear the words sounded like an invitation, it was Kiba's turn to be surprised as he felt her soft lips on his. The scent he'd been crazy about was now right in his face and he kissed back with a passion.

He'd been kissed before, plenty of times, just a side effect of his personality, but this wasn't the same, and there was something else he didn't understand. Something just beneath the surface that he couldn't put his finger on.

Her arms found their place around his shoulders as Kiba held her closer, his strong embrace was not only comforting but also arousing. Spinning herself around to face him she felt the solidness of his erection up against her thigh, she felt his hands slide from her back down lower, and lower until he firmly cupped her ass with both hands. Sakura was enjoying the attention she was getting and committed herself to it, let go of the tension she'd been holding as well a breath. As she did so a small moan escaped from her lips.

That noise, with ears as good as his he couldn't miss it and man did it turn him on, he knew he needed to hear it again or he wouldn't be satisfied and neither would she. Alpha male to the core he knew what needed to be done and without scooped her up in his arms and headed for her tent.

Falling back onto Sakura's sleeping bag Kiba pushed their lips together again, pulling her onto him as he did so. His hands slipped under her shirt and began exploring the soft skin underneath, pulling off her vest and black shirt off in one go.

Sakura felt a slight chill with the removal of the layers and it caused her skin to prickle in a way that made her want him even more. She pushed him down and held him there with a kiss as she unzipped Kiba's own vest and pulled off his shirt, only breaking the kiss to get the material out of the way.

Kiba pushed himself halfway up to reach a hand down the back of Sakura's pants, pulling the troublesome garment down her thighs and all the way off, things were heating up in the tent but he didn't care, he wanted her.

Sakura's hands brushed against his muscular chest and made their way down to his abs and then even more slowly to the waistband of his own pants.

Kiba went limp, falling back onto the sleeping bag. "For fuck's sake."

"What is it? Did I do something wrong?" Sakura didn't have a huge amount of experience with this sort of thing and as such was more than a little self-conscious about if she was doing it right.

"Someone's coming. Don't you dare move a muscle, I want you to still be looking that sexy when I get back. This won't take long."

He slipped out from under her and his hand made a soft smack as it collided with her ass as he reached over to grab his clothes from where they lay beside her.

Sakura realised how hot and flushed she was and Kiba bring attention to it only made her blush harder. The cold air from outside brushed up against her legs before she could reply as Kiba strode out, pulling his shirt and vest on as he did so. While Kiba had told her to stay where she was there was no way that she was going to do it, she wouldn't be stood up by Kiba, and she didn't need to be looked after like those years in team 7.

The rain was cold on Kiba's face as he stepped outside, a stark contrast to the warm body of the kunoichi he'd left in the tent. A flash of chakra from Akamaru let him know where the giant dog way almost invisible high in the trees. He bit his lip to bring his focus to the task at hand rather than the smell of Sakura that had intoxicated his nose; it was one of his most valuable advantages in combat. With his mind back in the right space he reached out with his chakra to the area around him and with a few quick hand signs he melted into the leaves, invisible to all but sensory nin of extreme skill.

"He knows we're here, he's already hidden himself."

The rain made it harder to hear what his team mate had said but he knew what she'd said. Their quarry was ready for them, this would be a good chance to test his skills against a skilled enemy, it was go time.

He smiled to himself, this was going to be fun.

Hope I've made an adequate comeback, I know I've been gone a while. Feel free to review and critique my work. You guys keep me going. Hope you enjoyed.
