Chapter 7: Stranger

"Hey, sorry I got distracted!" Ino told the dog like teen. "It's fine," he replied quietly. Ino immediately noticed something was wrong with Kiba. He wasn't his usual self this morning, he was never this quiet. She shrugged the thought off and the two headed off. "So I was thinking… Do you want to come over sometime this weekend? My Dad has to work all week so it's kind of boring at home," she told him. "I-I can't, my grandparents are staying for the weekend, and Mum finds it rude if I leave the house when we have family over," he replied.

He felt bad for lying to her but it was for his own good. He couldn't be around Ino that much now or else his feelings for her would grow even stronger. He hated the thought of choosing between the two girls, but he had no choice. "Oh really? Maybe another time then..." she trailed off. 'What's up with Kiba? He's acting so different today,' she observed for the second time, regaining the thoughts she had before. They walked the rest of the way to school in silence.

"Ino, Kiba!" a girl's voice called out. They both turned around and spotted Sakura and Naruto by the entrance. "Hey guys," Ino smiled. "Ino, let's go for a walk, I have to tell you something," she told her, pulling her arm. The two girls walked away from the two boys until they were out of sight. "What's up? Is something wrong?" Ino questioned in a concerned tone. "Nothing! I just wanted to ditch Naruto, he's been annoying me all morning! He won't shut up about how much he loves ramen and it was getting on my nerves," She explained, rolling her eyes. "Ino laughed until the bell rang.

"Well since we're in the same homeroom class, let's walk up together," Sakura said with a friendly tone. Ino agreed and headed for their classroom. As she walked in, she noticed that Kiba's seat was empty. "I wonder where he is," she murmured to herself. She sat down and waited for the teacher to mark the roll. "Sorry everyone I'll be right back! I forgot to collect the roll," the teacher apologised, leaving in a hurry closing the classroom door in the way.

"Someone lock the door!" Naruto yelled out mischievously. "You do it Naruto, I dare you!" Choji called out to the prankster. "Alright fine, but only if you shout me Ramen!" Naruto told the chubby teen. "Deal". Naruto jumped out of chair but as he was about to lock the door, Ino stopped him. "Naruto what If you lock out Kiba? " "Don't worry I'll let him in if he comes." He said calmly. Ino moved herself out of the way and walked back to her desk. Before she reached her desk, she heard someone knocking on the door. 'Kiba?' She turned around hoping it was him, but she wasn't even close. To make things even more confusing she couldn't even recognise the face of the person. It wasn't even Iruka-sensei.

"Naruto you idiot let Sasuke in!" She yelled. "Fine," Naruto replied, unlocking the door. 'That's Sasuke?' She thought to herself'. He had fair skin and onyx eyes. His black hair was spiky in the back with bangs on the side. "Beat it, loser," he told Naruto in a serious tone. "Hey Sasuke!" Sakura chirped. He realised that he was supposed to sit next to Sakura but he couldn't stand her one bit. He then noticed that Iruka-sensei wasn't in the room, so he decided to sit in the other empty desk. 'Why isn't he going to sit next to Sakura? Oh no please don't tell me he's going to sit next to me' Ino thought as she witnessed Sasuke walking towards the empty desk next to her.

"Um excuse me but that seat is for Kiba," she told the raven haired boy. "I rather sit here than- wait. Who the hell are you?" Sasuke questioned, not seeing Ino's face before. Sasuke glanced at the girl next to her. 'I know this is not something I'd usually say, but she's really hot' he thought to himself, noticing her good looks. "Um my name is Ino, I only came here last week."

(Yeah I know it seems like it has been like 3 days, but it has been 2 weeks. Anyways back to the story)

'Ino, remember what Sakura told you? He's bad news! Don't associate with him!' she warned herself. While Ino was being distracted, Kiba walked in.

Before Homeroom- Kiba POV

"I'll be back I need to do something," he told Naruto. "Okay, cya!" he replied. 'What am I going to do? I can't avoid Ino all day, she's in all of my classes for god sakes! Think Kiba think! Wait what if I fake sick and miss homeroom? That's the only class where there he has to sit next to her. Or I could just fake sick? Eh I'll give it a shot,' he thought to himself, heading towards the nurses office.

"Nope you seem fine. Sorry I can't send you home unless you're really sick. Just have a drink of water and return to your class" nurse Shizune advised him. 'Well that didn't work out well. At least I'll be late for homeroom, I think I'll should be okay,' Kiba told himself. As he walked in his classroom, he noticed that his seat was taken. "What the- oh great looks like Sasuke's back" he muttered to himself. Kiba couldn't stand Sasuke one bit. And now he was starting to become jealous. He was trying to avoid Ino and compress his feelings for her, but if when he saw her with Sasuke, he became extremely jealous. He knew he had to try and stay away from Ino, but this was the only exception.

"Oi Uchiha! That's my seat get off!" he told Sasuke, in a very serious tone. "No, get lost Inuzuka," he retailed.

"That's enough both of you! Sasuke get back to your allocated seat!" Iruka-sensei instructed him. "Sensei, how did you get in?" Naruto asked confused.

(Hey sorry again, I didn't say it earlier, but Naruto unlocked the door for Kiba then locked it again)

"I carry a key with me at all times, and I'm assuming you're the one who locked the door am I right Naruto?" Iruka smirked at the blonde kid. "Hey where were you?" Ino asked. "Don't worry," he replied with a blank expression. Her heart crumbled. Kiba was acting like she was some kind of stranger to him, and she had no idea why.

Throughout the day, Kiba sat with other people avoiding Ino. Ino was wondering what she did wrong.

After they finished their last class, Kiba left the classroom first, leaving the school as fast as he could so he wouldn't have to walk with Ino home.

"Kiba wait!" she sprinted to him. "What is it?" he slurred. "Nothing? Don't you want to walk home together?" She asked with confusion. He didn't answer. "What's wrong Kiba? Why are you all of a sudden acting like this?" She asked trying to sort things out. "WILL YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?" He yelled at innocent girl's face. She immediately froze. She had no idea how to react, all she felt like was crying. Her eyes started to water.

Cliff-hanger! Will update very soon xx
