Shino ran to the window, looking everywhere, 'NO! Where are they! I've got to save him!' His body began quaking, "What do I do!? I want to save him but I'm scared, I know I'll always lose to Zetsu.' Shino remembered Kiba's words, "Zetsu wont come near us, don't worry!" If Kiba could say that I MUST try! Zetsu's voice was in his head saying, "Don't even try my pet, your wolf is about to get tamed, you have a mission! If, big if, you find the Kyuubi in three days, I'll release your wolf, if and only if you swear to serve me and have nothing to do with the wolf. Agreed?" 'Yes!' Shino swiftly agreed, 'But don't touch him! At all or I swear I will kill your Kyuubi!' "Heh, we'll see." Shino leapt up and went in search of the Kyuubi.

(Now mainly Kiba yay! For simpler transition Kiba will always be asleep for Shino's POV)

Kiba looked around, seeing Akamaru sleeping in his coat, "Hey, wake up, were going to need a plan." He whispered to Akamaru. He pulled out his insect and woke her/him up gently, "Hell! Can you talk to Shino from way over here?" Having no clue where 'Here' was, Kiba was totally lost. He was in a cave, with no exits, but it glowed? Slowly Kiba glanced around, to see glowing insects. (Anyone notice how the more he got to respecting bugs the more he slowly said insects? If you did you are very smart!)

"Hey Hell? Were these insects already here?" 'No' he heard a faint voice in his head say. "What the? Hell?" 'I'm here' the voice sounded like a person learning Japanese. (Yes it's in Japan so Japanese!) Kiba glanced around, looking a Hell. He pointed to her, "You?" Hell fluttered its wings, Kiba felt faint, 'I'm talking to an insect!?' "Ok… um why are these other insects here?" 'They you sensed.' "They sensed me? How come you can talk, but you can't speak clearly?" 'It's unless hard Aburame. I've around you been enough talk to.' "You just said that it's hard unless it's an Aburame, and you've been around me enough to talk?" 'Yes' the voice still sounded like a whisper. "Ok, before I forget lets get some questions out of the way. Are you a girl or a boy? Does Shino deal with millions of your voices in his head? Where are we? What do you mean they sensed me? Why is Shino so sensitive?" "Girl, no, missions times on, at cave, no clue, you've been Shino around.' "O from being close to Shino?" 'Yes' (Hell just said she is a girl, Shino blocks out the voices except on missions when he needs to and she has no right to discuss her master aka no clue. Kiba was around Shino so bugs trust him LOL Sorry I know it's hard to understand her speaking ; so I will translate kk?) "So do you like your name or do you have a different one?" 'No, name works.' "You're getting slightly better." 'Tired, night.' Kiba placed her back inside her jar and stared at the walls, "Thank you." He said to the glowing insects. 'Guess I need to get over my repulsion of bugs more if I want to be with Shino.' Hell flew out of her jar, 'Boss, Shino after Kyuubi save Kiba deal never again Kiba see!' "What! He made a deal to catch Naruto!? But he has to never see me again?! NO! BAD!" Kiba ran around in panic, finding no exit, "O ask the glows, how they got in!?" Hell flew up asking, 'They came in when he closed the rock over there.' Hell paused between each word so as to not mix them up. She landed on a wall. "Ok. Akamaru!" They doubled then did rawuza (The twisty whirl wind one sorry if spelling is wrong) the rock crumbled under the attack

A gleeful Zetsu stared at the duo, "Ready for fun my temporary toy?" he said. Kiba growled, and charged, both still in half dog half human form. They charged from both sides, doing the twisting move again (That's what I will call it ok!). Zetsu dodged right as they hit over and over again. Tiring, both paused, getting caught in a vine trap. Akamaru had turned back into a pup as Zetsu through him against a tree! "Akamaru!" The pup got up ready to help his friend "NO" Go to the time!" That was a code he used to tell him to find Shino, if he ever got stuck he used it.

Before Zetsu could grab him, Akamaru had disappeared, Kiba sighed in relieved knowing no one was as fast as Akamaru! Slowly Zetsu's vines came back, empty. "Well your pup is free and left you, awell more fun this way anyways." Kiba hoped Akamaru would find Shino, stopping him from bringing Naruto. 'I hate the bastard, but I won't let Shino help a rogue Nin! He could get sentenced to death!' Using the little chakra he had left, he sent it to Akamaru, to lay in a pattern on his back, Shino's insects will read the message. 'Boss? Help?' Using a kunai, Kiba cracked the jar enough for Hell to land by his head. "Hell, just hide, I'll tell you when to help. What ever you do, don't let Zetsu find you ok? No matter what he does to me, don't do anything, please?" Kiba whispered.

Hell's look was furious, 'but angry be you if help needed can't go!' "Ok, code for help me will be, 'Hell is where I'm going ok?" She nodded friendly again. 'Shesh bugs!' Zetsu had reached a hole in the ground. After descending they were in a dungeon area. Kiba glanced around noting it was very clean? 'Why would a dungeon be clean!?' "Heh, wondering why it's clean? Each time someone is tortured, the mess is impossible to clean up so we have to make a new one." Kiba was slightly worried.

He was chained to a wall, legs and arms shackled together, both sets were chakra draining, so jutsu would be near impossible. Zetsu watched his thoughtful face. "Escape is impossible, but if my pet cares enough, you'll soon be free. Kiba hoped Shino would get is message fast! Zetsu approached him, drawing his hand across Kiba's face. "Well, you do have looks, but what about you keeps causing my pet to rebel?" "Heh for a pet, you seem more like one to me." Kiba fearlessly said, making Zetsu furious. "Humph! I may keep you as a pet also, just not like Shino! Heh, you'll need some taming first!" "Heh, taming me? Good luck with that." He sarcastically commented. Zetsu was infuriated by the insolence from a captive no less! "I'll plan, but while I'm gone…" he cast a sleeping jutsu, Kiba slowly fell asleep.

TO SHINO

While wandering the village he ran over a brown lump on the road, "Akamaru?!" Shino whispered as the pup whined. "Where'd you come from? Where's Kiba!?" His insects were fighting to come out, meaning Kiba sent a message! He let them come out and where is insects landed he read, "Hey Shino! Don't look for Kyuubi, let Akamaru rest for a day, then he'll find me, I have a plan, don't worry!" Then in a flowery scribble was, Love Kiba, P.S, see you in thee days! After his insects returned, Shino picked up Akamaru, and took him home, trusting Kiba. 'But what if his plan fails?' Shino thought, 'It won't once Kiba makes a plan, even though he rarely does, it always works!' But then he thought, 'unless he underestimates the opponent!' Then his nice thoughts thought, 'But Kiba can't, his nose smells these things!' "But, he has been wrong before.' Shino shook his head, he would find Kyuubi; just not grab him, yet.

He ran right into Naruto, noting he was sad, "Naruto, having problems?" Shino said, while helping the orange ninja up. "Shino," Naruto sighed, "Your insects heal even mortal wounds right?" "Yes" "Well what if you wanted to die? Is there a way to stop them?" "No, if you order them not to, they may, just because if you die they die." Naruto nodded glaring at the ground, "Naruto, why did you ask?" "Well I have something that always heals me, but I don't want it to." Shino glanced at Naruto thinking, 'found him! This explains why the insects always want his chakra.' "So." "Nothing Shino, you were helpful, have you seen Kiba?" The look in his eye worried Shino, "Family outing." He replied. Naruto nodded, "See yah." With that Naruto left, leaving a happy Shino with a hidden Akamaru. (His insects were carrying Akamaru, so they were above both ninja) Akamaru fell into his hands as he carried him home. He found some chicken, and fed it to the exhausted dog. After eating he lifted Akamaru onto his bed, letting the pup sleep. 'Well, guess I just wait.'

Back to Kiba

He woke with a killer headache wondering what had happened. 'Boss, morning' "Hey Hell, what happened?" He whispered. 'Ninja sleeping jutsu you' Oh ok, so did he leave or what?" 'No, next room' "K we need a plan. Alright I have a plan!" 'What?' "Well, if he decided to 'tame' me like Shino, I want you to find the key on him and get it, can you do that?" 'Sure. Lose don't!' "I won't trust me!"

Zetsu charged in ready to kill, "My new pet woke up! Guess the taming has begun!" Kiba laughed, but otherwise was silent, waiting for the plan. Zetsu formed a jutsu creating a genjutsu; He looked like Shino, "Heh, that won't fool me!" "Hum, then why did it work!?" Zetsu said from behind him, Kiba jerked away when spikes burrowed into his back, magically (By will of Zetsu) avoiding, narrowly, any vital organs. 'Shit! That hurts!' He grunted in pain as they burrowed in (Yes, Zetsu has an aphiliation (strong liking) of sharp objects!) "So, no more smart mouthed comments?" Zetsu inquired sarcastically. "Smart? Those were my worst ones, but thanks!" Kiba laughed as Zetsu glared, "Well let's see about this!" He pulled out needles, performing a jutsu, paralyzing him at every pressure point, while sending searing pain through out his body, "Well that's really scary Zetsu." Kiba said calmly. "I hope you know I'll kill you for what you did to Shino." "Like you can talk, you will soon be a broken shell of what you once were." "Ha, if you try you will lose." Zetsu growled as a response. Kiba watched him debate inwardly, "Fine I'll leave you a new friend!" He pulls out a sword, and places it over a fire, "I usually reserve this for the worst liars, but since I don't want info from you…" he slowly pulled it from the fire, watching the smoke with relish. He walked behind Kiba who was thinking, 'Shit! Been there seen that, but fuck it's going to hurt! Think like Shino, he would just think of fascinating insects! Recall Akamaru right after he was born!"

While Zetsu shoved the sword into his ass, (Through his pants) Kiba just smiled, remembering the horrors of house training. Zetsu glared at the cheerful face with anger. "I'll leave you that will hurt!" He (Zetsu) watched the smoke unfurl from his (Kiba) body. Kiba ignored the pain, remembering Naruto, 'I need to get revenge on him one day!' Zetsu left, Hell flew up carrying a key. 'I got it!' "Way to go Hell! Ok here's the plan…"

Hell laughed when he finished the plan, "Now first par, get Tobi!" (Yes! Shino had told about Tobi YAY!) Hell flew out, leaving Kiba to think of Shino, 'I know I shouldn't worry, but what if this ends up like the Naruto relationship…' He followed those thoughts for a while, until, in rushed Hell, followed by a confused Tobi. "What…Something was biting me? Where's Zetsu-sama?" Tobi continued running around in a circle. "Tobi-san" Kiba called. Tobi stopped and turned gasping as he saw Kiba, full of spikes and a smoking sword. "Are you alright? Tobi is a good boy! I'll get Zetsu-sama." "No!" Kiba stated as Tobi turned towards him, "Tobi are you aware that Zetsu-sama," pause, he said it nicely, "likes you?" "Yes, Tobi is Zetsu-sama's friend!" Kiba fought the urge to roll his eyes, "No Tobi-san, he has a crush on you." "On Tobi?" "Yes! So I have a request, are you in?" Tobi nodded, looking as if Kiba had made his day. After planning, they agreed to meet tomorrow, When Zetsu came the next morning Kiba was asleep.

Shino's turn

Akamaru woke up the next morning to a sleeping Shino. He pounced, waking the insect ninja. Shino hopped up in fighting stance, to realize it was just Akamaru. He sighed, "Alright, lead me to Kiba." Akamaru dashed, followed by the ninja. They continued to run.

And swiftly back to Kiba

Kiba awoke as Zetsu entered the door, waiting for the plan to begin. Zetsu walked behind him, yanking out the sword. Slowly Kiba breathed, as flesh, that had been seared to the sword was ripped out of him. 'Shit! That Fucking hurt!' Zetsu frowned at his silence. He placed a spiked metal rod over the fire (Where's the fire coming from O.o) Kiba glanced, but ignored it; he was soon to be free… Slowly Zetsu turned it, ensuring every side was equally hot. 'Shit! I have no skin and that's going in! Shit!' Kiba glared as Zetsu gently picked up the hot spiky rod. He walked slowly, waiting to see a reaction, other than a glare.

As he slowly shoved it in, joyous at Kiba's grunts of pain, in rushed Tobi. "Zetsu-sama! There was a…" he looked in horror as Zetsu pulled back, yanking the pole with him. Kiba swung swiftly, unlocking himself, grabbing Tobi and running. As they reached the exit, plants sprouted. Hell said, 'He is almost here' He whispered, knowing Akamaru could here; Akamaru sprinted too fast for Shino to catch up. (IF you've figured out the plan you are a genius!) Kiba shredded the plants, and dashed into a tree. "Stay!: he whispered to Tobi, as he sent a Tobi clone, into the Kiba clone (Akamaru YAY) the Kiba clone grabbed the Tobi clone and it looked like the real ones, they prepared to run. (Now Kiba and Tobi are controlling their clones, so I'm saying clone people with out clones kk)

'Kiba' turned towards Zetsu as he burst forward, 'Kiba' held a knife to 'Tobi's' throat. "Let him go wolf!" Zetsu ordered, "Why so you can kill us? At least you won't kill me if I have him!" "I'd never kill him!" Zetsu said. "Why?" 'Kiba' asked. "Zetsu-sama! Help! I, I love you Zetsu-sama! If I die please remember me?" 'Tobi' cried. In the blink of an eye, Zetsu was between 'Tobi' and 'Kiba', yanking 'Kiba' away from 'Tobi'. The real hidden Kiba sent Tobi in, destroying the clone, right as Tobi appeared. Zetsu began pummeling the 'injured' 'Kiba' Kiba whispered, "Be careful Akamaru!" The pup clone glanced to the tee and whined, 'Good Shino's here.'

Shino charged in, shocked at the sight, Tobi was standing around dumbly, Kiba was bleeding everywhere and Zetsu was pummeling him! "NO!" Shino charged in, all previous fear forgotten. He summoned his insects, sending them in on Zetsu who balked, unable to form jutsu for a second, Shino used the time to summon all invisible insects to poison him, he formed a jutsu and the insects began to form together into a monster, pinning both hands away from each other. Kiba (real one) ran in, Akamaru poofed, hidden behind Shino. "Shino you did it!" Kiba cheered.

Shino was forming hand signs when Kiba stopped him. "Don't kill him! I promised a friend." Tobi had run to Zetsu, attempting to free him, Shino glared, but Kiba walked up to Zetsu, "Look here is a deal, we'll keep quiet, about ever meeting you, where you are etc. We never met you, but you release Shino and leave us alone, we won't kill you or lover boy, next time we meet, if we meet, will be our first meeting. Ok?" "Fine," Zetsu said after looking to the begging Tobi. He closed his eyes, and was silent for a minute when he opened his eyes Shino fell unconscious, the insects were about to go back but hell told them to stay. "What did you do!?" Kiba shouted. "I released him heh, but he won't wake up except to one thing." "What!" "I don't know, it's different with each, you never asked the side effects." He laughed evilly, "I developed it myself." "Grr!" Kiba through Shino over his back saying, "I'll tell the insects to release you in a second, when I'm sure were safe."

Kiba took off, telling Hell to tell them to let go in ten min. Hell caught up with the other bugs, landing on his shoulder. Shino twitched in pain as the insects returned. "Shino, he Shino! Wake up, please?" Kiba kissed him begging him to wake up, he tried everything from fairy tale he could remember. He gave up, 'Maybe he is on a subconscious journey?' "Hell, is he okay?" 'Yes, clue no on going?' "Hum, if you guys don't know, I guess we wait?" 'K, but if he doesn't awake, his chakra flow low.' "So?" 'Eat us all his chakra, die he will.' "Alright, then, if they get hungry, tell them my chakra is free game." Kiba mentally shivered at the thought, but waited, (While running with Akamaru leading) until Hell reported back. 'They out come few at time feed to.' "Your speaking is getting better… and Ok." Insects slowly drizzled out draining his chakra, when done, Kiba had to sit down. To Akamaru he said, "Shino must have one hell of a chakra supply to constantly feed them after battles." Akamaru whined in sympathy.

Kiba slowly stood up, placing Shino in his arms and sprinted home, falling out of trees, but landing safely (Thanks to Akamaru). When they reached the village he wobbled to Shino's house, sneaking in via window. He placed Shino on the bed and debated whether or not to fetch Tsunade, 'I swore not to tell though.' Kiba decided to rest until morning, and decide after resting. First he had to get home and shower. "Akamaru, guard Shino, unless it's me, kill them!" Kiba slowly hopped home, upon reaching it Kiba jumped in, took a shower, and pulled out the spikes, narrowly avoiding killing himself. He disposed of his shredded outfit, pulling on a new set.

As he headed to the kitchen, he ate a steak, rare, with peas and a glass of chocolate milk (I LOVE CHOCOLATE MILK! I know sigh what am I five? But pop/soda makes me too hyper FUN!) As he prepared a bag with the essentials to survive living at Shino shows, to care for his body (…pervs). He packed a few food items, chips, ribs, barbeque sauce stuff Shino would hopefully like. He prepared to leave, grabbing his bag, when he heard a rustle behind him.

He slowly turned, and his fears were confirmed, there stood Naruto Kiba whimpered as his menacing voice said, "Been avoiding me Kiba?" Naruto moved towards him. "I'm dating others Naruto! I'm not afraid of you!" "Heh, we'll see! No one steals my play toys!"
