((((((((Hunting))))))))
Kiba stretched out his legs to get his muscles limber and ready for a run. He started jumping on his feet while rotating his shoulders around and made sure that Crimson Fang was attached to his belt. He casually walked towards the forest before taking out some headphones so he could listen to music on his run. Until he felt something nudge against his thigh and moan.
"Nnn...nnn...nnn"
He looked down and saw a massive dog with white fur standing by his side while whimpering sadly. Kiba kneeled down by the dog's face, "Hey Akamaru, what's wrong buddy?"
The dog's ears fell and he let out another whimper.
Kiba shrugged his shoulders, "What? I'm not gonna be gone for long. I'm going on a quick run through the forest and then I'll be back and we can play with everybody else. What's the big deal?"
Akamaru growled.
"Well duh Missy and Sprinkles are gonna act all pompous, they're cats. That's their thing."
Akamaru let out a quick bark.
"Well that's a good thing you stopped them from eating Zephyr and Icarus. They gotta know that we don't eat each other here."
"Rarh."
"Hey, c'mon." Kiba started scratching behind the dog's ears and smiled, "You're the boss of the kennel now buddy. This is the job passed on to the next big guy in charge. It's gonna be tough but I'm gonna be by your side to help."
"Grrrrrrr."
Kiba looked to the side in guilt, "Okay, until I go off to Beacon, but that's still a few months away. And you know I'm gonna come back home as soon as I can to see you guys again. So please don't be mad."
Akamaru's face fell and he whimpered a little while nudging closer to Kiba and sniffing his chest. Kiba felt just as sad to leave Akamaru, his family, and everybody else at the kennel to go study at Beacon next semester. Even though he felt grateful for being accepted and unbelievably happy to go to the school of his dreams to follow in his family's footsteps, he still didn't like the idea of leaving everyone behind.
Kiba smiled and patted his friend's head, "Hey...since I'll be leaving soon, let's start making up for the time I'll be gone. Wanna come running?"
Akamaru cheered up and started panting happily before barking in excitement.
"All right!" Kiba stood up and pounded his fist, "Then let's go!"
He and Akarmaru stood besides each other on the edge of the forest as he stretched his arms, "Okay, when I say go, we start sprinting, and the first one-"
Akamaru immediately darted along the ground and left Kiba in the dust.
The tattooed boy staggered for a moment before chasing after his dog, "Hey! I didn't mean go yet you jerk! Cheater!"
Kiba started sprinting as fast as he possibly could and tried to catch up to his canine partner. After a few moments of running, he could see Akamaru's butt and tail wag while he serpentine around the trees. Kiba smirked as he watched the friend he had been growing up with for years start overtaking him in the race.
But no way in hell it was gonna stick that way.
Kiba felt the sensation of his body becoming stronger and more agile as his Feral Semblance started to kick in. His sprinting speed increased 2 fold and he started catching up to the white dog. He decided to make this more fun for himself and jumped off the tree trunk towards the branches.
Akamaru happily ran through the forest before he noticed leaves fall around him and the rustling of tree branches. He looked up to see Kiba quickly jump from one branch to another on his hands and feet. The wild boy smiled down at his dog, "I'm gonna win!"
Akamaru barked before he started running even faster. He and Kiba started crossing around each other as the dog started jumping off lower branches for speed while Kiba started running along the ground. The two partners continued their race until Akamaru jumped off a tree and barreled into Kiba's back as the boy yelped and they both rolled along the ground.
They landed in the dirt with Akamaru happily lying on Kiba's body while he laid facedown in the ground. The boy started squirming under the dog's weight, "Okay! Okay! You win! Get off me!"
Akamaru crawled off Kiba while the young man sat up and rubbed his back tenderly. Kiba frowned before chuckling and patting the dog's head, "I don't even know why you're worried about me leaving. You're gonna be just fine here and I'm sure I won't face anyone nearly as tough as you."
Akamaru barked happily while he leaned into Kiba's hand to encourage him to pet more. Until the dog's eyes opened and he started growling menacingly and lowered himself in a offensive manner, focused in one direction.
Kiba blinked in confusion before his enhanced senses started kicking in and he noticed what the dog was growling at. Kiba slowly turned his head around to see a set of Beowolves start to emerge from the bushes. Their red eyes were set solely on the human boy and started to grow deeply, "Grrrrrrrrr."
Akamaru slid in front of Kiba protectively and started growling in return, "Grrrrrrrrrr."
Kiba stood back up and looked around as Beowolves started emerging from the forest on all sides. He nudged Akamaru's side, "Get ready buddy, I think we have some work to do before we get back."
The Grimm all started to slowly creep towards the pair as Akamaru snarled his teeth and Kiba slowly pulled out his tonfa. The dog and hunter-in-training stood besides each other as a pack of Grimm started blocking all sides. Kiba's eyes panned back and forth before a grin came over his face.
He reached back and grabbed Akamaru before throwing him at the Grimm, "Akamaru! Attack!"
The massive white dog curled up tightly and slammed into a Beowolf's chest so strongly that it blew the monster back. Akamaru landed on his paws and started swerving around while biting into another Beowolf's leg and pulling it out from underneath. One of the Grimm swiped at the large dog but Akamaru jumped over the claw and gave the massive monster a staggering headbutt. The dog barked loudly before charging forward and tackling another Beowolf to the ground.
Kiba turned around and started spinning Crimson Fang's grip in his hands with a confident smirk, his hair and teeth spiked to indicate that Feral was still in affect. One Beowolf started charging at him and Kiba smacked its head with the far end of his weapon. Kiba then stepped close and and started smacking the monster's body with each spin of his weapons. The monster's body jerked around rapidly as Kiba's arms started to blur and he made each hit count to damage the Grimm.
Kiba flipped and kicked off the Grimm's chest and slammed into another Beowolf behind him. He held out his arms and started firing rounds into the beasts that surrounded him. He jumped and kicked two of them in the head before blasting another in the chest. A larger one came charging in and slammed into the boy's chest as he blocked the attack with his sturdy tonfa. Kiba flew through the air before sliding against the ground and snarling his teeth while twirling his weapon by its grip.
Akamaru spun through the air and tackled a Beowolf before ripping its chest up with his claws. He barked and continued to bounce off the Grimm while slashing across their chests.
It wasn't uncommon for him and Kiba to fight besides each other when they needed to. Their parents had been teaching them how to fight and work with each other for as long as they could remember. And while the Grimm didn't seem the least bit interested in the dog, they were always lurking towards Kiba for a meal. And to Akamaru, that was just as bad as them trying to eat him.
While the two fought, an Ursa and Boarbatusks started following the noise and came to attack as well. The boar Grimm spun on the ground and propelled themselves forward as Akamaru charged and bounced them off his head. The dog stumbled back in pain before the Ursa walked up behind him and prepared for the kill. But Kiba charged in from the side and slammed his tonfa into its ribs before planting it into the ground and slamming his rocket-powered fist into its head.
The two partners stood between each other and protected their backs. Kiba punched through the chests of the Grimm while Akamaru pounced and ripped through their necks. The boy ducked underneath their attacks before punching up and sending several of them high into the air. Akamaru jumped and spun through the air, knocking several of them back and away from the duo.
Kiba finally flipped through the air and landed on Akamaru's back as the white dog howled. Akamaru dashed around the trees and formed a perimeter the Grimm could not escape from as Kiba started unloading round after round to the center where they were all gathered together. The monsters let out dying roars and shrieks as they were pelted with bullets from the boy riding his dog.
The last set of them were struggling on their feet before Kiba and Akamaru came barreling in and blasted them away. Kiba jumped off his dog and they separated before standing besides each other ready for another attack. Except there were none to be seen. Only smoking trees and destroyed earth along with the corpses of all the Grimm they had just slain.
Kiba and Akamaru quickly looked around and noticed the mess they had caused. Kiba clicked his tongue in worry before pocketing his weapon and kneeling besides his dog, "Akamaru...we can't tell anyone about this, okay? Mom and Sis would have our asses if they find out."
Akamaru shook in worry at the thought of being punished by the two fierce women before he barked in agreement.
Kiba nodded, "Good."
Kiba stood up before he beckoned for his partner to follow, "We should probably get out of here...like right now."
Akamaru barked happily and followed after him.
"Hey do you think mom's done cooking dinner yet? I'm starving!"
"Bark bark!"
"Woah! No way! You did a good job but you ain't getting part of my steak! I'm hungry!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrr!"
"Hey don't growl at me! Look, if you want some, how about we race for it? Ready, se-SEE YA LATER SUCKER!"
"BARK!"
Kiba darted off and got a head start as Akamaru chased after him, barking furiously at the cheap move. In a race to see who would win the right to eat the delicious steak they got to eat once a week at their house.

Done
Like I would make a version of Kiba that didn't have Akamaru. Pa-lease.
So, that's it. The manga is done. A few more chapters in 2015 but essentially that's it. Good run. Ups and downs but overall that series will stick with me forever.
Thank you Naruto. For 15 years.
On another note, what do you guys think is gonna be the next huge anime/manga to take its place? Naruto stands as the most purchased and well known Japanese series in mainstream America. And it's also hands down the most popular category in the anime sections of fanfic. Do you think it's still got a long ways to go before teetering off? Or are other series gonna start picking up the slack?
Personally I hope One Piece picks up more over here and people will look past the bad rep it got under the 4kids dub.
Interesting to see.
Me...I've got work to do.
