-1Puppy Buddies

Today was a nice pretty day in the Leaf Village. Sakura was just waking up when she noticed something.

'hm? White, fluffy, and.. Tiny?' thought Sakura with a very confused look on her face. All of a sudden Sakura screamed.

"AHHHH!!! NO WAY!!! It's a bunny!!!" said Sakura. She was smiling very big and was squealing really high. Sakura got up and started to get dressed.

"Aw man! I got to hurry!! I want to catch that bunny!" shouted Sakura running out the door.

About 5 min. later… Sakura was at the park.

'ah, so the bunny lives at the park huh?…' Sakura was looking for the bunny when…

" Ah ha!!! I got you bunny!!" yelled Sakura triumphantly. She turned her body so she could see the bunny fully. All of a sudden out of nowhere she heard a " woof woof!!!"

"Huh?" Sakura turned around and saw… Akamaru.

"Ah! Hi Akamaru!" she went and picked up Akamaru and started petting him.

"Hey Sakura!"

Sakura turned around so she could see the person.

'Hey! I recognize that voice…'

"Kiba!! Hey!!" yelled Sakura waving. She was still holding Akamaru.

"Eh sorry about Akamaru Sakura." said Kiba scratching his head sheepishly.

"Na, it's nothing!" said Sakura smiling.

"Sooo, how are you Kiba? I haven't seen you for a while!"

"Meh, I'm okay." Kiba replied a little sadly.

"Oh, is something wrong?" asked Sakura curiously.

"Well sorta…" started Kiba.

'should I tell her what's wrong… I mean, what if she is like Hinata, just worried about the guy she likes.' thought Kiba sadly. Kiba started to frown.

"Uh, Kiba? What's wrong? It's okay, you can tell me. don't worry, I'll listen." replied Sakura kindly.

Kiba stared at her suspiciously.

"How do I know I can trust you?" said Kiba with a smirk.

"Hm, well, just ask Akamaru if you can trust me. I bet you he will say yes. After all, who else plays with Akamaru besides you?" replied Sakura with a smirk of her own.

Kiba was surprised. He looked at Akamaru, and Akamaru barked happily as a response.

"Aww. Okay I belive you." said Kiba while doing a cute little pout.

" He he!! Good." replied Sakura smiling in a childish manner.

"Well, I have been feeling kinda neglected lately. Nobody really talks to me. Some think that I am weird because I always hang out with Akamaru. They call me 'Dog Boy Wonder' and a bunch of other stuff. Well of course you know me, I always have awesome little comebacks!" declared Kiba proudly while doing a little pose.

Sakura giggled at his little act. 'He reminds me a lot of Naruto!' Then he calmed down and started to talk again.

"Even though I tried to block out what they said, it never worked. I would think about it and realize they were right, I only have Akamaru. It hurt when I realized that, I looked at every one and they all have someone who is they're friend, even Sasuke and Neji have friends." answered Kiba looking really depressed.

All of a sudden he felt something holding him.

'Huh? What's going on?' Kiba felt a tear drop on his skin (remember he wears his jacket a little open ).

He looked over and saw Sakura hugging him.

"Aww, I'm sorry Kiba. I was too busy to even notice that one of my closest friends was hurting." Sakura told him.

"I feel really bad, and guilty."

Okay, Kiba had a lot of suprises today, but so far this was the biggest one.

'Wow, I didn't know that Sakura even acknowleged that she KNEW me. Much less a close friend. I guess I was to worried about what Naruto and all the academy people thought, that he didn't even look around him to notice Sakura.

'She really is nice.' thought Kiba.

He turned to Sakura.

" Thanks Sakura!!" said Kiba cheerfully.

Sakura was confused.

"Huh? What for?"

"For telling me that you thought of me as a friend."

"Ahh, no problem Kiba!!" spoke Sakura softly.

" Soo…" started Kiba.

"You were the one who took care of Akamaru when he was wounded and bored?" asked Kiba curiously.

"Mmhm" said Sakura nodding up and down.

" Heh, thanks!" said Kiba.

" No problem Kiba! It was fun, Akamaru even helped me train!!" said Sakura joyfully.

"Hey, want to play with Akamaru for a bit?" asked Sakura.

"Eh, why not? Akamaru must be bored from watching all the mushy gunk." Kiba giggled out. Sakura started giggling too.

They both looked at Akamaru and started laughing, then started rolling on the ground from the laughing.

There on the ground was Akamaru sleeping peacefully. Sakura and Kiba wiped they're tears from they're eyes.

"Hey Akamaru…" whispered Sakura softly to wake him up. She nudged him, he woke up and barked happily.

"WOW. You are the first person to wake him up without getting a bite mark on you. He loves sleeping, some times I think he is Shikamaru in disguise!!" exclaimed Kiba cheerfully.

"He he, what can I say, I'm good with animals!! Anyways come on Akamaru, FETCH!!!"

Sakura and Kiba played fetch and other puppy games until it was too late out.
