I know that Naruto is supposed to be away because I know I said at the beginning of the first chapter that that was the time this story was set in. It's just when I said that akamaru was hurt because of a recent attempt to find Sasuke, well in my story I would of imagined Naruto's return to be a little different and meeting Sasuke a lot sooner I shall explain what happened with that in future chaps

Kiba watched as melody slowly breathed in and out, breathlessly laying in his arms. Slowly but surely he shifted her weight off of him and carefully placed her head on the ground, Watching to make sure that he didn't move her too quickly. As she was calmly placed on the floor in front of him her skin as soft as fur and as smooth as silk grazed against his own, running a small shiver up his spine. Not just because of her skin against his being so wonderful, but the fact that it was indeed freezing cold and her skin now as pale as snow.

He gazed at her perfect features taking in her scent, pineapple. He then crouched down to her level, removing her headband. He didn't believe that she would be taken kindly to if when he took her back to the village, everyone knew her to be a rouge. Then standing and placing her headband safely in his weapons pouch, he performed several hand signs then lightly biting his thumb smacking it onto the ground and then in a puff of smoke a small dog immediately appeared shocked to have been summoned at such a time as this.

/yes Kiba knows the summoning juitsu. Since kakashi didn't have anyone to train recently he thought he'd help out a fellow dog lover in dog summoning /

Kiba knew that Pakkun would be with kakashi today so summoning him; Kiba felt was the right thing to do.

As soon as Pakkun regained his bearings, he realised that Kiba was indeed the one who had summoned him.

"Hi Pakkun, I may need some help here" Kiba stated rubbing the back of his head.

"What is it Kiba? Why have you summoned me, is something wrong?"

Kiba just pointed behind the dog motioning for him to turn round. Immediately Pakkun yelped in surprise as to how close he was to an injured figure. Then slowly looking around Pakkun could see that she wasn't the only being there, there were two more seemingly dead beings not too far away. The whole clearing was torn apart as if a full scale battle had taken place. There were kunai everywhere and blood splattered on nearly every tree.

"What happened?" Pakkun managed to get out, after taking a deep breath.

"I don't know I just followed the sounds of a battle, got almost killed then saw her collapse here in front of me. As for the actual battle, normally I wouldn't think that she would be able to take those two out, but there is something about her that makes me think that she did" as Kiba said this, he once again moved to her side moving her carefully onto his lap once again.

"How can you be sure?"Kiba then thought back to her headband feeling it resting in his pouch against his thigh.

"I just have a hunch, and besides who knows what village she's from the other shinobi both have the symbol of the wave and considering they are both from the same village I doubt they would attack each other. Plus I have already checked the surroundings; no one else's scent is nearby" Kiba said hiding the main part of the truth that because of what now lay inside his pouch, he could safely say that she was a powerful shinobi indeed. Whilst Kiba said this his eyes didn't stray from the girl once.

Pakkun didn't question him from here on instead he just followed Kiba's instructions to go back to kakashi and inform him of the situation so that he could immediately send out a team to scour for evidence. (Kiba had already made sure that any evidence of her being a rouge was thoroughly taken care of first, not that there was much to hide anyway.) Kiba said he would be the one to take melody to the hospital wing to ensure that she had immediate attention.

Then as soon as Pakkun was gone Kiba just wanted to check she was safe to travel without emergency help at that present time.

He had not thought of it before, for he was too caught up in her beauty to check for wounds but as soon as he did so he could easily see that there were just gentle bruises here and there that were not life threatening. However one of the bruises also seemed to be on her head so just to be on the safe side he took her to the hospital anyway.

Once they arrived at the hospital melody was immediately taken off Kiba and into an emergency room. He was told to wait outside while they examined her but at every moment through it all he was at the door waiting for permission to enter. Some how he felt that he was responsible for her no matter that it wasn't his fault that she was in that state.

"Kiba?" Sakura asked interrupting Kiba's thoughts.

"How is she?" he replied

"She will be fine."Kiba let out a breath he didn't realise that he was holding. He started to head in but Sakura stopped him. "I'm just warning you that she's still not responding and we don't know when she will wake up. Yes I said that she is fine but she may not be able to remember anything when she wakes up. She seems to have used an enormous amount of chakra, she may have even have had as much as Naruto to begin with."

This shocked Kiba knowing that Naruto had the most amount of chakra that he had ever known from anyone he had met.

He ignored all of the retorts in his head not to enter the room, his stubbornness getting the best of him; he opened the door and stumbled in.
