Disclaimer: I don't and will probably never own Naruto. I sure wish I did though.

A/N: Sorry for the late update. Enjoy…

Kurenai and Kiba were already in the midst of their training ground but have yet to catch Shino and Hinata in their view.

"So how was your mission sensei?"Kiba questioned to break an uncertain silence surrounding both teacher and student.

"It was nothing special Kiba. I, once again, was only used to knock out the enemy with my genjutsu while my teammates had the fun of actually fighting back," Kurenai answered but in a more sly tone. Her brunette student looked up at her with an innocent looking smile and she returned it.

"Really sensei? Well I think that you deserve more credit that what you're getting," Kiba added with a playful wink. Both Kurenai and Kiba haven't had many moments in solitude to actually bond but despite that, they naturally connect with one another.

"You really think so Kiba?" Her pupil nodded to reassure her and even the white pup Akamaru barked in agreement to his master's comment.

"Thank you Kiba. It means a lot to me that you feel that way," Kurenai said and she feels proud that her student obviously looks up to her almost like a parent.

"So what are we going to do today sensei?"Kiba asked now placing his hands in his pockets.

"You guys are going to demonstrate your jutsus and then you guys will face me and try to somehow dodge my genjutsus."

"We'll beat you this time sensei. I'm sure of it," The dog lover said in with a playful grin. It's been a common training practice. Kurenai hides while all three shinobi track her down. Then the battle rages to dodging her genjutsu and if they fall for it then the objective changes to try and escape with the techniques Kurenai taught them herself. It's fun for all three of them and it builds up their bonds of friendship.

"I'll keep bugging you on that Kiba," Kurenai mocked. Soon though the two shinobi could see the Aburame and Hyuuga in the distance waiting patiently for them both.

"Hey Shino, Hinata!!"The brunette called out waving his right arm in the air.

The bug user lifted his head slightly and nodded at his teammate to confirm he heard him. Hinata lifted her own arm and waved back with the usual red blush on her cheeks. It wasn't long though for the Aburame's and Hyuuga's eyes to shift to the seemingly glowing white tattoo marks on their brunette teammate. Shino's eyebrows tightened slightly with curiosity and Hinata only took quick glances. The Hyuga doesn't want to seem rude and get caught staring at the new color of her friend's cheeks. Shino though, having his black eyewear, can stare at them without being found out (easily).

"Thank you Shino and Hinata for being patient and waiting for me and Kiba to arrive. Now...today you guys will demonstrate your jutsus to me and then you will try to catch me like we've done before. Any questions?"Kurenai explained so quickly it had her students stare at her with uneasy looking expressions. Hinata gently raised her hand and said," Can you um......repeat that a little slower sensei?"

The jonin nodded her head and repeated her explanation more slowly. While Kurenai was explaining the day's activities, Kiba had been looking at the sky in hopes to entertain himself but he felt like he was being watched. When the dog lover looked at his teammates, the brunet easily realized it was his insect using friend. He looked straight into Shino's glasses and the bug user had noted that he's been found out. It shamed him that he was actually discovered but then he heard the Inuzuka whisper,

"What are you staring at me for?" quietly enough so Kurenai won't hear but audible enough for him to understand. The Aburame didn't respond and it aggravated his teammate.

"Alright, now that everyone understands. Shino, you're to demonstrate your jutsus on that tree," Kiba and Shino suddenly heard Kurenai say. The bug user followed his sensei's hand and found the tree she was pointing at. He walked over to it and spread his arms out and gave his insects access to the outside with his sensei watching carefully.

While that was occurring, Kiba looked over at Hinata and smiled at her. In return she blushed and smiled slightly. In the brink of the moment Hinata is curious as to why her teammate has a bright mood today. Or why his clan tattoos are suddenly white. She considers it rude to ask but her curiosity is eating at her mind with all the questions.

She reached out her right hand in a gesture to poke her teammate on the shoulder but he took a glance at her way and noticed her hand about to touch him.

"Anything I can help you with Hinata?"

The Hyuuga's cheeks flushed a bright red.

"I'm just…curious as to why your tattoos are white. Did your mother change their color?"

The Inuzuka blinked a few times. The Hyuga has questioned him about his cheeks. She's never been one to ask so bluntly.

"I don't know Hinata. I woke up this morning with them white. So, they just turned white by themselves," The brunette answered in a whisper to make sure Kurenai and Shino didn't hear. The pale eyed girl lowered her arm and quickly turned her head to look at her sensei and Shino. Embarrassment is crawling up her spine for asking. May it be a small situation; she wishes not to waste anyone's time.

In minutes Shino had completely obliterated the plant and stood in front of it with his insects returning to him.

"Nicely done Shino," Kurenai said."I give you an A for that uncommon and certainly unexpected use of your insects. Now let's see your jutsus Hinata."

The girl walked ever so slowly towards her teacher and Kurenai pointed to another nearby tree. Hinata knows what she's supposed to do, so walking right in front of it; she activated her Byakugan and readied herself for Kurenai's order. "Begin," Kurenai said and the Hyuuga unleashed her fury.

The Aburame made his way next to the Inuzuka who is observing Hinata's performance on the tree. Standing next to Kiba, both boys watched Hinata attack the tree mercilessly. Both boys raised their eyebrows in awe at her rough attacks and they couldn't help but feel proud of their teammate. Always having to hide behind Shino and Kiba is discouraging and fills the boys with pity for her but watching her power in display changes those feelings.

"Why are your clan tattoos white Kiba?"The Aburame suddenly questioned. Kiba glanced over at the bug user quickly and turned back to observing Hinata.

"They were white when I woke up sooo…I don't know."

To the boys' surprise, Hinata had finished off the tree already and in less than a minute. Kiba's eyes widened slightly and he looked over at his sensei and wasn't shocked to see Kurenai clapping.

"Good job Hinata! I'm very impressed with your progress. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll grow up to be a great ninja," Kurenai said cheerfully with the number of claps decreasing until she halted altogether.

"Okay, now that you're done Hinata. All that leaves is you Kiba," Kurenai said. "Now demonstrate your attacks on that large log for me."

Kiba didn't hesitate and he quickly walked over to the abnormally large log that is, somehow, off the ground and on its side. Akamaru jumped off his master's head and when he landed on the ground the pup was enveloped in a cloud of smoke containing a Kiba clone.

"Alright then, begin!" Kurenai instructed firmly.

In a quick leap, both Kibas spun straight toward the log and there were no surprises to see the log being ripped to shreds as soon as the first blow hit.

Shino and Hinata both distracted themselves with the sky and its wonders but quickly turned their heads back to Kiba when there was a large earthquake like tremor. Their eyes landed on a new technique they've never seen Kiba use.

A large, white, two headed canine was standing proud over the few remains of the log and when the large canine leaped in the air to spin, the wind the attack caused was breathtaking. Shino and Hinata found it hard to breathe and to add to their discomfort, the wind seemed to slice their clothing. As soon as the large animal spun for thirty seconds, it disappeared in a cloud of smoke and Kiba, with Akamaru in his arms, reappeared.

Kurenai stood with her right hand on her hip, her crimson eyes on the dog lover and said," That was impressive Kiba. It showed excellent control and power. You just need to control it a little more because I think you may have left my outfit a bit sliced here and there."

The Inuzuka looked at his sensei's clothing and indeed there were slices. Then he glanced at his teammates and their clothing seemed sliced too. The brunette's face grew slightly red from disappointment. He quickly placed Akamaru back on his head and walked to his teammates with his hands in his pants pocket.

"Okay, now that I've taken a look at your jutsus. Let's see if you guys can catch me this time without falling prey to my genjutsu," Kurenai said walking closer to her students. "You guys know the procedure so, on the count of three." The three shinobi readied to leap into the trees.

"One…two…THREE!"

In an instant Kurenai vanished in thin air. The three shinobi knew it was time. They leaped into the trees and began searching for their sensei.

Naruto

Walking next to his sensei, the blonde Naruto Uzumaki is running through his thoughts again; still locked on the subject of his ex-lover. Perhaps he can make a deal with Kiba to get him to talk to him or perhaps bribe him…but that's not the right way to. How will he get the brunette to forgive him for the rape and for cheating? The situation doesn't look like it's on his favor and as if to make it worse, what could that dream he had possible have meant?

Does Shino really have a chance with Kiba? That is if the bug user swings that way. Now that the whiskered male thinks about it, it's highly unlikely Shino Aburame is that way. It's also questionable if he will ever get involved in a relationship with his silent/solitude attitude.

Being lost in thought, he didn't realize that Kakashi had already brought him to the bridge where Team Seven often meets. Still walking forward, his pink haired friend called out his name and placed her hand on his shoulder to stop his walking.

The blonde looked up and still couldn't register his setting.

"Hello? Naruto? Are you alright? You looked like a robot just now, walking while I kept calling out your name. By any chance did you lose your brain on the way here?" Sakura said and questioned in a mocking tone.

The blonde is beginning to realize the kunoichi's attitude towards him and it's not the very kind Sakura he used to dream about that he wished was his girlfriend. The two are friends but Sakura's attitude is a major obstacle to go through to meet the gentle kind Sakura.

Without realization, the cerulean eyes met with the dark ones of Sasuke's when he turned his head to the Uchiha leaning on the wooden bar on the edge. Naruto's eyebrows tightened to form a frown and Sasuke kept his eyes empty with no readable expression. The blonde locked himself in a glare at the raven haired boy. Anger directed at the Uchiha for the incident that caused his breakup. Silence shrouded the whiskered boy.

Images of his stupid relationship with Sasuke began emerging with each image more…graphic…than the other. His stomach turned and tensed as if trying to avoid vomiting. The horrid images of him and Sasuke are unbearable now; they've lost their appeal now that Kiba isn't with him. But why would they lose their appeal now that Kiba isn't his boyfriend? Maybe the thought that he wouldn't get caught kept repeating itself in his head and that he would still be with Kiba, only using the Uchiha for the sexual needs Kiba couldn't satisfy yet with his abstinence.

That very thought though brought malice directed at his emotions for thinking so selfishly.

Two minutes have passed and Sakura was getting impatient with her teammate's glaring match so raised her arm and took a sharp smack on Naruto's head. With a groan, Naruto looked another way and ended his staring match with Sasuke.

Rubbing his head where Sakura's palm him, he looked over at Sakura and said, "What was that for Sakura-Chan?"

"You were glaring at Sasuke-kun and that's rude."

Kakashi rolled his visible eye at their typical behavior; the usual Sakura defending Sasuke and slapping Naruto with the daily rivalry of the Uchiha and whiskered boy.

"Now now you guys. We have been assigned some missions today by Tsunade and I don't want her to get mad if you guys are unable to accomplish them correctly," Kakashi said walking closer to the group. "These missions are simple and should be finished quickly if Naruto isn't as stubborn as he usually is and knows when to ask for help when he needs it."

"HEY!!" Naruto yelled in protest. The reputation of often making mistakes is a heavy burden especially when pointed out.

"Relax Naruto, I didn't mean to offend," Kakashi said. "But please try to follow instructions and do the job right. Alright then, here are the missions for the day that Tsunade had specifically assigned to our squad."

Kakashi reached into his right pocket and he took out a scroll with Tsunade's hand writing. When Kakashi unrolled it, it had a clear list of missions already set for them and the time the missions should be completed.

The first mission: Help the animal shelter train the animals and it's to be completed ten minutes from now.

Team Seven began their walk to the address on the scroll and their walk was unnaturally silent…

Team Eight

"Have you found her yet Hinata?" Kiba whispered to his teammate. Hinata and Kiba are hidden in the bushes, currently working on locating Kurenai and she's being surprisingly sneakier. Kurenai had already caught Shino in a genjutsu. That leaves the Hyuga and Inuzuka alone to find her and avoid her tricks.

With her Byakugan activated, the Hyuga searches every crevice and corner for her sensei but with no success.

"Have you caught her scent Kiba-kun?"

"I'm afraid not…I wonder why Kurenai is sneakier than she usually is today," Kiba whispered. "And how's Shino? Has he woken up yet?"

"Not yet…"

There was silence. No sign of life or any human presence in the current area. Growing weary, the Inuzuka focused on his nose to increase the chances of him catching his teacher's scent and the Hyuga continuing her current task.

For many silent moments nothing was found. Not a trace of their teacher was located and in result, discouraged the Hyuga and Inuzuka. But before the Inuzuka could call it quits, a faint sound was heard.

"Did you hear that?" Kiba questioned Hinata.

"…No…I didn't hear anything."

The sound came once again and Akamaru began growling towards the direction he had heard it.

"You heard it too Akamaru. Whoever this is, I don't think it's Kurenai or I would've caught her scent by now."

"Are you sure about that Kiba?"

Those words were unexpected and it made the dog lover stand up with worry. When he attempted to move he realized his ankles are wrapped with tree vines and concluded that Kurenai had caught them. Hinata deactivated her Byakugan and looked down at her teammate's feet and trembled when she saw the plant.

Both Kiba and Hinata have experienced this jutsu but they've never expected for Kurenai to use it today-or ever again. The jonin has only been known to use it to punish or give a very important lesson. One such occasion occurred when Kiba behaved immaturely towards Shino. The Inuzuka had beaten Shino on a sparring match and his cocky attitude grew over Kurenai's comfort zone.

In doing so, Kurenai insisted Kiba try beating her. The dog lover's attitude blinded him and he accepted the challenge only to be humiliated greatly and his teammates witnessed the whole match. The worst of the experience for the Inuzuka was the torturous display of genjutsu Kurenai shot his way when she trapped the boy with her tree vines. The white pup Akamaru was spared the terrifying images of death and war his master viewed and from then on, the Inuzuka has kept his cocky attitude away from Kurenai.

Looking at the tree vines constricting his ankles, the Inuzuka wonders what he could've done to deserve the experience again. In silence a large tree showed itself to the Inuzuka and Hyuga. Both looked at the plant with anxiety showing in their eyes and wonder of what Kurenai will do next.

The next second, Kurenai's body slowly appeared out of the tree and to Kiba's and Hinata's surprise, Kurenai's lips curved into a playful smirk.

"You guys did great. Not your best efforts but it was fun."

Kurenai stepped out of the tree and undid her jutsu, resulting in the tree's and vines' disappearance.

Kiba sighed from relief that no genjutsu would be performed on him. Hinata stood up and had her right hand near her lips in her timid manner. It was seconds from then the Inuzuka noticed that he hadn't caught Kurenai's scent when she spoke.

Kiba looked up at Kurenai and said, "Hey sensei, how were you able to keep me from catching your scent? I didn't get a whiff of it when you talked." Kurenai giggled and looked at him with the most motherly face both Kiba and the Hyuga have ever seen.

"I did that by simply surrounding my body with my chakra. It took me a bit to master how to do so and I wasn't sure it would work but after today, I see that it does."

The brunette couldn't believe his ears. He can no longer expect to catch Kurenai with his nose; perhaps Kurenai won't use it in ALL of their sparring matches if he's lucky. Hinata looked at her teacher with little envy because of her intelligence. It wasn't the jonin's new ability to avoid being tracked down by Kiba but also her Byakugan. How on Earth did her teacher escape the Byakugan? Did Kurenai learn a new technique for that too? Was it luck? Or maybe Hinata has been losing skill and her training has been useless. Then a startling thought came to Hinata.

Maybe she knows of the Byakugan's blind spot!!

Such knowledge is frightening. The secret of the Byakugan's blind spot was to be kept secret and if Kurenai knows it, she would be in trouble should her father find out. But it's just a possibility. She needs to make sure. Raising her head to look up, she said, "Um…Kurenai sensei…how did you avoid detection from my Byakugan?"

"I think I did that by going underground Hinata. I'm not sure but I think that's one place you didn't expect for me to be did you?" Her teacher replied with a motherly voice. With a relieved sigh Hinata nodded.

"Now that we're done for today, can you two go and release Shino from the genjutsu? It surprises me that he hasn't released himself," The jonin asked her motherly voice and face gone.

Both her students nodded and walked over to their insect using teammate that's just a few meters away from them. The Hyuga and Inuzuka both looked down at their teammate when they reached his unconscious body.

"How do we do this again Hinata?" Kiba asked having trouble remembering how to undo a genjutsu.

"We just have to send a small harmless burst of chakra through his body and that should bring him back," Hinata replied.

Both shinobi placed their hands on the bug user's shoulders and both nodded at each other before waking up the Aburame.

Shino stood up bluntly seconds later without a groan or sigh and he looked over at his teammates and teacher.

"…that was a rather unpleasant experience…" Shino muttered.

"It's alright Shino. You shouldn't feel ashamed if that's what you're feeling. It's just a harmless little game remember?" Kurenai said with her motherly smile returning.

The Aburame didn't look amused but nodded in agreement.

"Alright. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the same time, same place. Bye…" Kurenai waved her right arm and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

The jonin's students were left slightly confused and unsure of what to do to kill time. There was silence for a moment before Akamaru barked to alert the three genin.

"Soooo… let's go back to training. I need to practice that new jutsu I tried earlier," Kiba said.

The Hyuga and Aburame agreed and they walked to their favorite training spot. When they reached it the three didn't hesitate to going to their normal training routine: Hinata practicing on a large log, Shino looking for new specimens, and Kiba jumping up in the trees with Akamaru.

But during the training, the Inuzuka started feeling chills in his body. He shrugged them off at first but the chills slowly progressed to cold and then to freezing. The cold temperatures made him lose focus and miss the branch he was about to land on, making him fall on his bottom on the ground.

"Damn it…Why is it getting colder?" Kiba hissed with his arms wrapped around himself at an attempt for warmth.

Hinata and Shino halted their tasks and walked over to their dog loving teammate when they heard him moan in pain.

"Are you alright Kiba-kun?" Hinata asked looking down on him.

"Not really…I just feel cold…" Kiba hissed again now rubbing his hands up and down his arms.

"Let me see what's wrong with you," Shino suggested kneeling down and leaning forward closer to Kiba.

The Inuzuka leaned back slightly with slight discomfort. Having Shino get close to him is something Kiba has never considered or thought was possible. But the cold is making him light headed. The bug user leaned closer to the brunette and shoved his hand under Kiba's headband to check his temperature. The Aburame quickly figured that Kiba's forehead is abnormally colder than it should be. The insect lover leaned even closer to look at his teammate's eyes but this time a few of his insects joining in to investigate the brunette's condition too.

Kiba wonders why his teammate is getting so close but he's welcoming it. The dog lover may not admit it, but he has a small crush on the bug user because of how mysterious he is. Thoughts of how the Aburame's body looks under that large coat have been the most erotic Kiba has ever had of his teammate but nothing too graphic. How close Shino is reddened the Inuzuka's cheeks. Unfortunately for Kiba, the white tattoo marks made the blush visible for anyone to see.

"Your body's temperature is lower than normal. It's not too low that it's a danger but it's still abnormal for this to happen," Shino said ignoring Kiba's blush. The bug user's insects returned in seconds after exiting and only found an unfamiliar scent. Shino shrugged off the possibilities of illness. Perhaps this is puberty for an Inuzuka, Shino thought.

The bug user stood up and took a few steps back from the Inuzuka.

"I'm not sure what's wrong with you. But one thing's for sure, your temperature is lower than normal," the Aburame explained.

Way to state the obvious Shino, Kiba thought slightly annoyed he didn't gain an answer. I'll have to get warmer somehow…

Kiba stood up and picked up Akamaru to hold the pup in his arms. He started walking away to the field of flowers to think about these sudden freezing temperatures. The Inuzuka's pride won't let him inform Tsume about this until later and he can't think of anywhere else to go. He turned his head to his friends and smiled before saying," I'll be leaving then. I don't wanna interrupt your training by making you worry about me."

The Inuzuka started walking away and left his teammates alone.

Hinata stared at Kiba's back for a moment. Worry over her teammate's condition shrouds her mind. The Aburame quickly looked away and returned to training. But this is an attempt to regain his focus. Having been so close to Kiba made him blush. The reason for the blush is unknown and he doesn't want to think about the experience. Soon enough, Hinata too went back to her own training.

Team Seven

"DAMN IT NARUTO!!!" An angry Sakura screamed that Naruto ruined a simple mission of assembling items in a storage house.

"You have got to be the BIGGEST IDIOT, I HAVE EVER SEEN!! You can't do anything right…" The pink haired kunoichi ranted and the blonde ignored every word. Over time he's learned it's better to just let it go and move on.

Kakashi sighed. What is he going to do to bring down that temper? Sasuke kept his eyes closed and kept to himself.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry Sakura it was just a mistake…I didn't mean to-"

"You didn't mean to!! How could you not know which box held flowers and the other fish!!?? How could you mix those up??!!"

Naruto quit speaking when Sakura didn't lower her voice. He can't stand her constant yelling anymore. Knowing that Sakura isn't very alert during her rants, Naruto started walking away towards the forest in hopes that the kunoichi won't find him there.

When he began walking, Kakashi sent him a questioning look. Naruto mouthed with his lips, I'm going to the forest to get away from Sakura-chan, to Kakashi. Kakashi understood clearly and nodded. There's no reason to hold the whiskered male any longer now that there's two missions left and he's sure that Sakura and Sasuke are more than enough help to accomplish them.

Among reaching the large number of trees, he looked around for anywhere to hide just to be safe incase Sakura should track him down.

While he walked, Naruto noticed the trees were thinner than usual and there seemed to be a hill of some sort meters ahead. He ignored the new sights and continued walking. The setting and sounds of wildlife gave the blonde a sense of security and he began to think about his ex-boyfriend.

How he longs to touch the dog lover's body, to feel those soft lips against his own, to have the boy in his arms and cuddle. Naruto was unaware of where he was going from thinking and he regained his focus when the sunlight seemed to warm his face.

Then he looked around and found why. He is no longer in the forest, but out on a large, wide-spread, shining, field of flowers.

He looked over the horizon and the flowers didn't seem to end. He looked back to see the large trees of the forest. The large plants dwarfed the small flowers below and the border between the two areas is completely visible.

"Hmm…I never noticed this place before," Naruto said to himself.

He sat down and enjoyed the view, no longer worrying if Sakura would come after him for leaving. Spreading his legs out and both palms on either side of him, he began enjoying the view and thoughts of Kiba emerged again.

"Come on Akamaru, we're just going to stay here until I can think of what to do with the cold chills I'm having," Naruto heard and it didn't sound from afar. He turned his head to look back and…walking towards the field of flowers is his ex-lover Kiba Inuzuka.

Naruto began to panic. He anxiously turned his head left and right to look for a good place to hide. It took a few seconds later for him to realize that the wide field is perfectly clean with only the colorful flowers covering it. With no options, the blonde lied down on the ground on his stomach to use the flowers for cover.

He kept his eyes on the brunette, who only walked closer. Then he noticed the white tattoo marks on his cheeks. What the? I don't remember him having white tattoos, thought Naruto. His eyes fixed on the white marks, sweat coming down his forehead from fear. When will Kiba find his scent and leave? What will Kiba do if/when he sniffs him out?

Surprisingly, Kiba doesn't show sign of knowing his presence. Is Kiba ignoring his scent? Or is he really hiding that well? Deciding to observe, the blonde kept his lips closed to make sure his company is unknown.

"Damn…why is it so cold Akamaru?" the dog lover asked his companion. The pup responded with a whimper of worry and that only annoyed the Inuzuka. He might not get an answer to this condition. Maybe Tsume was going to tell him about the white tattoos. If only Kurenai had come five minutes later, he might've known this was coming.

Kiba sighed and sat down with his legs crossed and arms wrapped around his body. Then he looked up at the sun as if it would have the answer to his freezing problem.

"Damn it…I thought the sun might've been able to help but it isn't doing much," Kiba muttered angrily. Akamaru having been on the ground staring up at his master came up with an idea.

The pup transformed into a Kiba clone and when the cloud of smoke dispersed, Kiba had a curious look on his face.

"What are you doing Akamaru?" questioned the Inuzuka with a bored tone.

The clone didn't respond but sat behind Kiba with his legs spread out and then wrapped its arms around the dog-boy's waist and pulled the boy closer to his body. Kiba resisted at first. The gesture seemed like a gesture for lovers. Until he reminded himself that it's his best friend and no one else, so there can be no harm in this right?

For a few seconds the two brunettes sat together, sharing their warmth. It was only a few minutes later that Kiba had tired of sitting and watching the flowers. He leaned back and the clone followed. Both were lying down on the flowers and they watched the sky.

The moment is perfect for Kiba. He has his best friend with him, sharing his warmth for the cold, he's in the field of flowers, and for a brief second, he felt almost loved by Akamaru. Not the love friends share but a stronger one. A feeling that is unfamiliar but it seemed like love.

Naruto kept watching. He's confused at this point as to why neither Kiba nor Akamaru have discovered him yet. He's about two meters away so his scent should've been whiffed.

While Naruto ran through his thoughts, Kyuubi had caught an invisible scent, a scent that only he can catch.

"He he he…I never thought Kiba would have that condition. It's a good thing he's having this right now. This will happen only once in his life and I will make sure to take full advantage of it. I just need some warmth to help with dog-boy's chills and the rest shall be up to Naruto," Kyuubi thought aloud.

Silently, Kyuubi released an extremely small amount of pheromones in Naruto's body, enough to only urge Naruto to talk to Kiba. He remained silent for Naruto to make his move for phase one.

Naruto kept watching, making sure to remain unseen. But watching the clone cuddle his mate suddenly filled him with envy. Not tolerating the sight any longer, he stood up and made his presence known when he said, "Hey Kiba...what are you doing?"

The hugging pair jumped instantly from shock at the sudden appearance of the blonde. Kiba sat up and the clone stood up behind the brunette, both looking directly at Naruto.

"What do you want Naruto?" Kiba asked almost sleepily with the clone growling in anger.

"I was just hoping if you could…just let me explain what happened. I just want to let you know what happened and that's it!! Please," Naruto said.

Kiba is finally tired of having Naruto go after him. With the freezing temperatures his body is facing he can't possibly think of fighting. Maybe letting the blonde explain himself will get him off his back. That should benefit them both.

Raising a hand up, Kiba signaled the clone to stop his growling and protective stance.

"It's alright Akamaru…he only came here to talk…and there's nothing wrong with that," Kiba almost growled. The clone made one more growl before a cloud of smoke enveloped it. Akamaru emerged seconds later and jumped in his master's lap.

"Alright then…start explaining and then we're done," Kiba added petting his companion.

"But…but I don't want our relationship to end Kiba. Please, give me another chance. I didn't mean to-"

"Here you go again with the, 'it was all a mistake' and 'I didn't meat to' and 'I really regret doing it'…You can't come up with anything new can you? Just accept that we're over. I won't forgive you for what you did. All I want is an explanation for WHY you did that," Kiba said cutting off the fox-boy.

"I…I don't know okay!!! All I know is that…I was tired of waiting for you to be ready for intimate contact. I started having dreams about you. Dreams where we…we…"

Kiba's eyes widened. Naruto never told him what his dreams at night were. Hearing this had him wondering what else the blonde has been dreaming of.

"So what? I bet you were dreaming about Sasuke too," Kiba replied unable to keep the harsh edge away.

"NO!! I never had a dream about that asshole!!"

"Then why did you sleep with him huh?" Kiba spat again.

"I…I don't know!! I just know I regret doing that! I'm sorry! Really, really sorry," Naruto said now walking closer to the brunette. Akamaru began to bark to make sure the blonde keeps his distance only to be ignored. Kiba nudged the white pup to stop the barks and he whimpered an apology.

"Why don't you go Akamaru, I can take care of myself if he tries anything," Kiba whispered to his dog.

Akamaru whimpered in worry, thinking the blonde might hurt his master again. But he trusts Kiba and he has to follow his commands. Upsettingly, the pup hopped out of Kiba's lap and began making his way to the Inuzuka compound.

"I already told you, we're over and I'm not forgiving you for cheating on me. And now I have another reason to hate you. YOU FUCKING RAPED ME!!" Kiba yelled with fury.

Naruto halted his footsteps for a moment.

"I'm sorry Kiba…I really mean it…I regret all of it. I didn't mean to cheat on you, and I…I'm sorry for the rape…that wasn't me back there," Naruto's voice became softer. Pleading for forgiveness, the blonde kneeled down in front of the brunette. The distance between them gets shorter with the blonde's advances.

"Alright, NOW it is time for phase two." Kyuubi nearly yelled out.

Kyuubi's chakra made its way out of Naruto's body without disturbing him. The chakra was practically invisible. The blonde couldn't feel it and the Inuzuka didn't sense it until the chills in his body began to drift away. In less than a second, the chills were gone but his body began to heat up. His breaths heavy, his chest pounding, what's happening to him?

"Get away from me!" Kiba commanded but the blonde didn't listen.

"Please…forgive me Kiba…I'm really sorry…"

Kiba lied on his left side to expose his back to Naruto.

"You were an idiot. You acted like a damn whore," Kiba muttered.

"I know! I was an idiot! I was a whore!! But I regret it all!! Can you please…please…just forgive me?" Naruto leaned closer to Kiba's body.

The Inuzuka can't take Naruto's vulnerable state. He can't stand Naruto pleading him for forgiveness.

"ALRIGHT!!! Jeez…can you be more vulnerable than that? Just forget that ever happened…but we're still over," The Inuzuka yelled and ended in a whisper, fed up with the talk.

Naruto smiled. He has (somehow) gained his ex-lover's forgiveness. But he still craves the boy's affection and some unknown feeling is urging him to keep trying.

"Thank you Kiba…but can I ask you for something?" The blonde's voice became soft again.

Kiba sat up and became aware of how close their bodies are. He leaned back to make distance but the fox-boy leaned closer.

"What is it?"

"Can I…can I…kiss you?"

Kiba was outraged he would ask such a question. He rapes him and cheats on him but the blonde thinks he'll let him kiss him!!

Yet…his desire to be with the blonde is growing. The warmth in his body is growing. Does he really want the blonde to go away?

Kiba sighed and closed his eyes, thoughts of their whole relationship flooding him. This whole fight began because of Naruto cheating and now that he thinks about it, Naruto did seem to be sorry. Why did he let the problem escalate to heights it shouldn't have? The hatred and pain he had, replaced with guilt. Guilt he feels for letting the blonde suffer too much. Maybe their relationship is worth giving another chance…

"I'm not entirely sure," Kiba struggled to murmur with his cheeks turning red from warmth.

"Let me, make it up to you Kiba. I wanna give you a…a real kiss," Naruto said gently.

The blonde's right hand reached out and went under the brunette's chin. He gently raised the Inuzuka's head to face him. Leaning in, he closed his eyes and placed his left palm on the ground for support.

The warmth Kiba felt grew as the blonde drew closer. That warmth; it's addicting. His body began to beg for the warmth, to welcome the blonde's request. The Inuzuka accepted it. He'll let Naruto have his kiss and no more.

Their lips came together gently. Kiba supporting himself with both palms on the ground and Naruto with his left palm Kiba leaning back and Naruto leaning forward on his knees.

This kiss is more pleasurable. Kiba's body strained and twitched at the new sensation. Unlike the stolen kiss, this one is real, a real kiss that he's willing to give and have.

Naruto began moving his lips and the dog-boy instinctively moved his own. Kiba's temperature skyrocketed when he felt a hand touch his chest and slowly go down to his thigh.

The blonde grew confident when he felt Kiba shiver. His tongue slipped out and licked the Inuzuka's lips, asking for permission to enter. Kiba hesitated for a moment. Having to be inexperienced, it's unclear on how he should respond. It was when the whiskered male's tongue slipped its tip in between his lips did he understand.

Kiba parted his lips and the whiskered male's tongue explored the cave with hunger. The tongue almost seemed desperate, tossing, turning, flicking, and bumping against his. It was begging for his tongue to play along and it took a minute before he took the hint. Their tongues swirled around each other, flicking and touching hungrily.

The blonde's lust overcame him and the hand on the Inuzuka's thigh moved between the two tan legs.

The brunette gasped when he felt the hand rub up and down in between his crotch. The gasp broke the kiss and the blonde didn't hesitate to move to the Inuzuka's neck.

The brunette's palms slipped and his upper body fell to the ground with the blonde over him. The fox-boy licked and nipped at his neck with hunger.

"Ha ha ha…It worked perfectly. The warmth will make him want Naruto more. Now I just let the kit take over this situation," Kyuubi giggled and began to fade to his own business.

The blonde's lips kissed the other boy's neck softly while his hands went downward towards the brunette's clothing; his right undoing the zipper on Kiba's jacket and the left doing the same with Kiba's pants.

The Inuzuka felt angry. He was raped just yesterday and now the blonde wants to go that far now? The Inuzuka placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders to signal the blonde to stop.

"Stop it! Let me go you…you-," Kiba's outburst was silenced when Naruto removed his lips from Kiba's neck and looked at the other in the eye.

"I'm not going to hurt you Kiba…I promise," Naruto whispered softly to the confused dog lover.

Kiba's mouth failed him. He can't form words or protest against Naruto's actions. He lay on his back against the flowers and his arms wrapped around the other's neck. Naruto continued his work on Kiba's neck. The hand on Kiba's jacket finished and Naruto tapped on Kiba's shoulder for him to let the jacket fall. Kiba did as signaled and the fishnet shirt under was ripped off impatiently to leave his upper body exposed.

Naruto moved down to kiss over Kiba's chest and the brunette couldn't keep a moan from escaping him when the mouth played with his nipples.

He gasped when he felt hands slide his pants and boxers off. Kiba's eyes closed and he panted from the intense heat. His body began sweating and Naruto took advantage of it by massaging his thighs and chest with his palms.

Kiba turned his head to the side. The massage relaxed him. Then one hand was removed and Naruto began to rid himself of his clothing. Kiba felt the other hand move away to remove his headband.

Now fully exposed, Kiba opened his eyes slightly to look at Naruto. The fox-boy is naked and his erection is standing tall. Kiba's hands wanted to push Naruto off him but this desire, it's too strong. He looked down and noticed his own erect member.

"Wow Kiba…you have a beautiful body," Naruto said.

Naruto's hand wrapped around Kiba's shaft and he began pumping it. Kiba moaned when the pleasure surged though his body. While Naruto pumped Kiba, he leaned down and connected their lips in a lustful kiss. Tongues curling and flicking against one another while the blonde's hand pumped Kiba's member.

"Mmmm…Naruto…Please," Kiba panted. "This feels good. It feels so good."

"I know Kiba and I promise it will get better," Naruto replied.

Naruto's hand pumped faster. Kiba's body, having never experienced this, shot his white fluid on to Naruto's hand and abdomen. The orgasmic moan from Kiba aroused Naruto further.

He played with the sticky substance for a second before breaking their kiss and switching their positions.

Naruto lay on his back and positioned Kiba's ass on his manhood.

"I promise you Kiba, it won't hurt this time," Naruto panted.

He placed his hands on Kiba's hips and lifted him up slightly to lubricate his manhood with Kiba's seed. When he finished that, he sucked on three fingers for lubrication. He took them out when they were wet enough and positioned his fingers on Kiba's entrance.

"This will hurt and sting but it will subside," the blonde said.

Naruto quickly plunged his fingers in and Kiba whimpered from surprise. Tears slowly flooded Kiba's eyes and the tears flowed down his cheeks when Naruto moved his fingers in a scissoring motion.

"It hurts you bastard," Kiba grunted.

"Don't worry Kiba; the pain will be gone soon."

Surprisingly for Kiba he adjusted to the pain in a few seconds. Grunting, the brunette looked down at Naruto and glared.

"Get on with it damn it!" He commanded.

Naruto took hold of Kiba's hips and positioned the dog lover's ass over his member. He slowly pulled Kiba down on his erection. Both boys moaned when Naruto had buried himself in completely. Naruto's hands on Kiba's hips, he moved Kiba up and down his member. He moaned at how hot and tight the Inuzuka's insides are.

Kiba leaned down and kissed Naruto with his hands on both sides of Naruto's head.

"Harder Naruto…" Kiba moaned between kissing.

The fox-boy's hands rubbed Kiba's round ass and squeezed. Their sweat making their bodies shine in the sun.

Naruto's pace increased and Kiba benefited with his up and down motion on the blonde's shaft. Kiba's own shaft hardened again from the pleasure.

"Yeah…Oh yeah," Naruto moaned when he broke the kiss.

"Naruto…"

The up and down motion rubbed Kiba's erection against the blonde's abs and with Naruto's thrusts increasing, It brought Kiba over the edge.

"Damn it. Oh, oh, oh Naruto," Kiba moaned with his second seed spilling over both their chests. Naruto continued to pull Kiba up and down his member for a minute before the clamping muscles around his member was too much. With a sigh and a squeeze to Kiba's ass, Naruto released his own essence inside the dog lover.

"That was amazing wasn't it Kiba?" Naruto questioned placing kisses on Kiba's neck.

Kiba has his head hidden between Naruto's neck and shoulder, with the brunette's body over Naruto's.

"It was…indescribable," he panted.

Naruto relaxed and closed his eyes for a quick nap. Kiba remained awake.

His thoughts on what he had just done. Why did he let Naruto do this to him? What will be the outcome of this? Does this mean he's back together with Naruto?

Unsure of what to think for now, Kiba closed his own eyes and slept with his ex-lover.
