Okay wow, I know this took a long time and it isn't that long but I have been having major family issues.

I apologize alot for the time you all have waited. I will try to get the next chapter out sooner than this one.


"What did he just say?!" Temari yelled looking at the two of them. Kiba looked at Gaara and Temari and tried to pull away from Kankurou again. Kankurou however was still focused on Kiba, ignoring his siblings.

"Kiba, it was before us." Kankurou answered. "I was with her the first night I came to you, before I knew my feelings for you." Kankurou placed his hand on Kiba's cheek making him look at him. "I love you and only you Kiba." He leaned forward and kissed Kiba gently.

"What the hell is going on! Someone start talking!" Temari yelled walking into the room more followed by a silent Gaara. "Who is pregnant and did you just say you loved Kiba?"

"I got a shinobi pregnant about five months ago." Kankurou said still looking at Kiba. He then turned and looked at his siblings. "Kiba and I have been dating for a while, about four months."

"You hypocritical jack ass! How dare you be with a Konoha Shinobi after telling me how weak they all are! After telling me that they are all worthless! After giving me so much crap about dating one of them, you go and screw one and a man at that! How long has this been going on!"

"I told you four months." Kankurou turned and looked at Temari. "I don't really want to discuss this with you Temari!" Kankurou turned to look back at Kiba who had walked out the door and unknown to everyone else ran into Shikamaru. The two men stood there listening to the argument inside.

"I can't believe you! Even after you lectured me about our differences you went and slept with someone from Konoha!" Yelled Temari.

"Yes Temari and it was different! We are different from them! They accepted me, they accepted our relationship!"

"We would accept it to if you weren't such an ass!"

"I came home! I didn't let it affect my missions! Unlike you I was able to walk away and continue with my duties!"

"That's because you don't have a heart! You have never had to deal with half the shit I've dealt with!"

"No because my boyfriend isn't a lazy ass who thinks everything is to troublesome! Kiba actually fought to be with me!" Outside the door Kiba gave Shikamaru a look of apology for Kankurou's rudeness.

"How dare you! Shikamaru is a kind person who loves me and because of you I refused him! I broke it off with him because per your words people from different hidden villages can't be together! It would never work, right!"

"I couldn't sit by and watch you make a mistake and screw up your life!"

"Go to hell Kankurou, and for once take your own advice! You have to decide what you're going to do about the 'mistake' walking around Suna! Not to mention how you screwed up your life by sleeping with every whore in Suna!"

"I didn't sleep with every whore! You're the biggest whore in Suna and you're my sister, that would be fucking wrong!"

"No what is fucking wrong is you fucking another man!"

"At least Kiba puts some effort into it! Unlike your lazy ass ex-boyfriend!"

"ENOUGH!" Gaara had heard enough of these two arguing, and was sick of it. The two elder siblings looked at Gaara in silence. Kankurou looked at Temari then Gaara once more before opening the door to two very pissed Konoha Shinobi. Kankurou couldn't think of anything to say he just pushed the door open more to reveal them to Temari.

"What….what are you doing here?" She asked her voice cracking a bit as she tried to fight back the tears at seeing Shikamaru.

"Well this is troublesome. I just came with Kiba and when he didn't come back to the hotel this morning I decided to look for him. I figured the first place to look would be his boyfriends house." Shikamaru looked at Kiba and sighed. "You want to head back now?"

"Kankurou…." Kiba began but was cut off by Kankurou pulling him toward him.

"I'm an ass, I'm sorry." Kankurou opened his hand revealing the necklace Kiba had 'given' him. "I warned you about my temper when we started this. Please don't leave me now."

"I need to think…I have to go." He turned and walked away leaving Kankurou standing there, heart breaking. Shikamaru looked at Temari then at Kiba who was heading toward the gates to Suna.

"This is troublesome." He mumbled before following after Kiba. Nothing resolved between the couples. Kankurou no longer able to stand had fallen to the ground clutching the necklace, one hell of a birthday this was turning out to be. Gaara came up silently behind him and placed his hand on his shoulder not saying a word. Temari came running out of the house in tears, heading the opposite direction.

Gaara placed his hand on Kankurou's shoulder, standing there for a moment then began walking in the direction the two Konoha Shinobi had gone. Kankurou watched with tear filled eyes as Kiba disappeared. Not knowing what to do, he then watched as Gaara left in the same direction.

Gaara was soon beside Shikamaru, who was following Kiba. Shikamaru looked at Gaara.

"The Hokage sent me here for him." Gaara nodded.

"I am in need of assistance, my shinobi numbers are lower than normal."

"You are planning on sending a request to Konoha for help?"

"Yes, and since the two of you are here…" Kiba had stopped, hearing the conversation. He turned and looked at Gaara and Shikamaru. Shikamaru looked at Gaara then to Kiba.

"It would be troublesome to leave…Just to turn around and come back. Can we stay here pending the Hokage's answer?"

"Your welcome to stay at my home or at one of our inns." Gaara stated.

"Where's the nearest inn?" Kiba asked, before Shikamaru could get a chance to respond.

"Follow me." Gaara said, taking them to the inn closest to his own home. He also informed the inn keeper that they were his guest. Once Shikamaru and Kiba got settled, Shikamaru looked over to Kiba who had his forehead against Akamaru's, holding onto the area behind his ears.

"You going to be okay?" Kiba pulled away slightly.

"How can I compete with that?" Kiba asked softly, "I don't know what to do. She is going to be around him…constantly!"

"Kiba…" Shikamaru was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Kiba, please…" Kankurou was on the other side of the door. "Listen, I know you are in there…open up." Kiba looked at Shikamaru who was reaching for the door handle. Then, he opened it.

"I think I will find Temari…" Shikamaru mumbled softly, walking out and brushing past Kankurou. Kankurou took a hold of his arm as he did this. He had a strange look in his eyes.

"I'm sorry…" he said, making Shikamaru look at him with bored eyes.

"Tell that to him," Shikamaru said, thrusting his thumb over his shoulder, showing confused looking Kiba. And on that note, he left the two alone. Kankurou turned and looked at Kiba.

"What are you doing her Kankurou?" Kiba asked standing. Akamaru looked between the two men and whined softly.

"Kiba I love you. I don't want anyone other than you."

"You don't need me anymore and I don't need you either." Kiba looked at Kankurou fighting back tears. "Now please leave."

Kankurou stood there a moment before walking into the room more shutting the door behind him. Kiba didn't move as Kankurou approached him. Kankurou grabbed Kibas arms and pulled him into a kiss which was short lived, Kiba pulled away and punched Kankurou. His punch landed on Kankurou's jaw. The tears that Kiba had been fighting back now came flowing out. Kankurou rubbed his now bleeding lip looked at Kiba.

"Your right Kiba I don't need you, I want you, it is a choice." Kankurou then turned and walked to the door. "I will wait for you." With that he walked out and headed to Gaara's office. He knocked on the door and waited.

"Come." Came Gaara's monotone voice. Kankurou walked in he looked at Gaara then dropped onto the couch.

"Gaara I screwed up big."

"Fix it."

"I don't think I can." Kankurou sat up more and looked at Gaara." Are you sickened by me?" Gaara looked over to Kankurou.

"Why would I be?" Gaara asked looking a bit confused by the question.

"Well, Kiba and I." Kankurou couldn't finish maybe Gaara didn't understand and he wasn't going to be the one to explain this.

"As long as what you do in your personal life doesn't affect how you deal with missions it doesn't affect how you deal with your missions it doesn't bother me." Gaara paused for a moment, and Kankurou could tell he was thinking. "Who did you get pregnant?"

"Azami." Gaara scowled slightly more at her name.

"She was the first to ask for leave, due to pregnancy."

"What are you implying?" Kankurou asked, raising a brow.

"My mission schedule."

"I only got one shinobi pregnant, not the others." Kankurou replied, shaking his head, "I'm going to change then start my shift." As he said this, he turned to leave. And Just as he was, Temari was on her way in. She glared at him, then looked at his now bruised lip.

"Kiba do that?"

"Yeah." Kankurou replied, touching the cut softly, "Tem, I'm sorry." He said in a quiet voice.

"Yeah… Me too." He replied softly, then went into Gaara's office.

Kankurou went and changed then headed back to the wall. When he got there, some of the other shinobi looked in his direction and stopped talking.

"Let's get to work, relieve the other shift." Kankurou ordered in his normal gruff tone. He couldn't let the other shinobi of Suna see any weakness in him, and by their reactions, they were still scared of him.

His shift was another long, and hot one. Kankurou started to leave. And as he was, he saw Kiba. He was sitting in the shade with Akamaru, a small smile played across his face as Kankurou headed toward him. As he approached, Kiba stood.

"Kiba…" Kankurou greeted and looked at Akamaru, "Akamaru…wanna go get a burger?" Akamaru barked happily as he wagged his tail. Kankurou turned to Kiba once more. "I have something to do…so how about I buy the burgers and…" he was cut off by the look of sadness that was in Kiba's brown eyes.

"You're going to go see her…" he said softly, which made Kankurou flinch slightly.

"I have to Kiba, or I might lose the baby. It isn't their fault." Kankurou calmed himself a bit, "You want to go with me?"

"Really…?" Kiba asked. Kankurou nodded.

"Yes, you are apart of my life. That is…if you still want me."

"Of course I do," Kankurou grabbed a hold of Kiba and kissed him without thinking. He then released him and blushed slightly. Kiba placed his hand on Kankurou's cheek and smiled.

"I love you Kankurou and that is all that matters." Kankurou smiled at Kiba's words.

"I love you too, Kiba. I am sorry that I hurt you." Kankurou held his hand out to Kiba. "Would you like to go to meet the mother of my child?"

Kiba looked at Kankurou for a moment contemplating whether or not he wanted to do this. He then shook his head in agreement and took Kankurou's hand.

"Yeah as long as you think it is okay."

"If I didn't I wouldn't have asked.."
