"Ten of 'em!" Kiba snorted.
"Eh?" Shikamaru looked over bored-ly from his leaning position against the wall.
"That was the tenth one!"
"Who was number 10?" Chouji asked, coming out from the mission report room, a paper in his hand.
Kiba waved at their friend distantly, his face drawn into an annoyed frown. Chouji raised an eyebrow at Shikamaru, who just shrugged and rolled his eyes. As the Akimichi met up with them, the other two pushed off and fell into step with him. Shikamaru fiddled with his hitae-ate irritably.
"That was the tenth guy to see Naruto with that dreamy look on his face!" Kiba fumed, "I swear, if I get any indication whatsoever that they've even made a pass at him, I'll ..."
"Kiba, it's fine," the Akimichi smiled and shook his head in fond exasperation.
Kiba was always on about something recently – to the great amusement (and irritation) of many.
"Give it a rest, Kiba," Shikamaru sighed. "Nothing's gonna happen. Iruka-sensei and Neji are in there with him, what could any one do? What would anyone want to do?"
"Bunshin themselves into me? – I don't know!"
"Please. Who would want to be you?"
"Someone trying to get to the Hokage! He hasn't exactly been secretive about our relationship."
"You're annoying and making a big deal out of nothing. Naruto wouldn't let anyone do anything to him, anyway. ... Unless he wanted you to be jealous for make-up sex later."
"Shikamaru! You're not helping!"
"But he's right," Chouji chimed in, "Let it be. Naruto only looks at you, anyway. He's not gonna go off kissing other people."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still doesn't help." Kiba sighed. They turned a corner ... and stopped in shock. Standing in the hallway was Naruto ... kissing ...
"SHINO!" Kiba growled loudly and stalked over to the two, ripping his former teammate off of the blonde and ... blinking in shock as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. A kage bunshin. "Uzumaki!" the Inuzuka whirled on his mate.
The blonde grinned unrepentantly. Kiba grabbed him up and dragged him off before anything else could be said, leaving Shikamaru and Chouji behind to puzzle out for themselves what had just happened. The taller man sighed.
"How troublesome. I told him that Naruto was trying to make him jealous."
