I do not own Naruto. You'd think you'd know this by know but better safe than sorry I suppose.

Naruto pulled on some boxers and pants and dragged himself to his couch. He flinched as he tried to sit criss-cross. He could still hear Gaara washing his clothes.

Bzzzzz

Naruto looked down at his forgotten cell phone. It was buzzing in-between the cushions. He pulled it out slowly and flipped it open to see he had missed 5 calls and had 2 messages. They were all Kiba.

He opened one of the texts.

Naruto? Pick up! Why aren't you answering?

He went to the next one.

Naruto! Are you all right? Why won't you pick up? I'm coming over!

Naruto sighed and looked back past the kitchen towards the washing machine. Gaara was looking at him as if he knew who he was texting. Naruto flinched. He turned back to the text.

I'm alright. It's not the best time to come over.

Almost instantly,…

Why not?

Naruto sighed but caught himself. Gaara was still here.

I have company.

The phone went off.

So what? I'm already here.

Naruto shut his phone and jumped when he heard the doorbell. Oh no, oh no, oh no. He looked back to see Gaara calmly putting his shirt back on and go to the door.

Gaara opened the door and stared at Kiba. Neither of them said anything. Gaara looked back at Naruto and narrowed his eyes.

"I'll see you later Naruto." Gaara's tone was almost threatening. Naruto could only nod faintly, his eyes full of fear with a hint of anger.

Gaara stared for a moment longer before he walked through the door, not sparing Kiba another glance.

Kiba looked back as the red-head walked out of sight. When the brunette turned around his eyes were full of anger. He ran over to Naruto and bent down in front of the blonde, his hands gently touching the blonde's face, arms, sides, trying to see if he was really alright.

"Naruto, what happened? Why was he here?" Kiba stared intently into the blue eyes before him.

Naruto looked directly at Kiba but didn't say a word. Kiba would guess it anyway.

Kiba grinded his teeth in an attempt to control his anger.

"Try and stand up for me." Kiba pulled on Naruto's arms, bringing the blonde to his feet. Naruto hissed and shut his eyes . Kiba's face wavered between anger and worry.

"That bastard…" Kiba made Naruto sit down again. He sat down in front of the blonde, holding his hands. "Naruto, I want you to tell me the truth." Naruto looked up at Kiba, his eyes full of defiance. Kiba tightened his grip on the blonde's hands. "That man…is he a vampire?"

Naruto tensed up immediately and looked away from Kiba. Kiba's eyes were full of worry. He lifted his hand up to Naruto's chin and made the blonde look at him. "Is he?" Naruto remained silent. Kiba sighed and looked down at the floor. "I don't know if or why you're trying to protect this man after what he's done to you. I know what he is even if you won't say it out loud. Your silence is enough proof for me."

Kiba got on the couch and pulled Naruto's head into his chest.

"But don't you worry Naruto. I'll take care of him for you. Then you'll always be mine."

Naruto still said nothing. It wasn't like he was trying to protect Gaara he was just aware of how serious Kiba was when he was determined to do something.

Briiiiiing. Briiiiing.

Naruto stuffed his books into his locker, not feeling like doing any homework tonight. He shut it to find Kiba standing next to him.

"Kiba…what're you waiting for?"

"You." Kiba smiled. "Come on. Today we have band practice." He grabbed Naruto's hand and pulled the blonde behind him. Naruto couldn't help but smile a little and tighten his hold on Kiba's hand.

--

"So, we're gonna need a new singer," Kiba announced boldly. Everyone stared at him.

"WHAT!?" Sasuke bellowed. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE NEED A NEW SINGER!? WE ALREADY HAVE A GREAT ONE!"

"Mmm. See, here's the thing. I fired him for personal reasons." Kiba smirked.

Neji rolled his eyes. "You can't just fire someone because you don't like them," he said in his indifferent tone.

"Well, he was being an ass and I don't think he was good for the band." Kiba argued.

Sasuke stared at him. "Whatever man. It's your fault we just lost the key to our success. Since you fired him it's your job to find us an even better singer. You got that punk!?" Sasuke pointed his guitar at the brunette. Kiba raised his hands in front of him defensively.

"Yeah yeah. I'm already on that . It's no problem. It'll just be a couple of weeks, that's all."

Sasuke's eye twitched.

Naruto smiled faintly as he watched Sasuke chase the brunette around the room with his guitar. That guitar could really be an awful weapon when Sasuke was pissed.

I just wanted to get something in there for you lovely readers :D I hope you like where it's going. Don't worry, this is not a Kiba Naruto story. It's all Gaaranaru. But where's the story without the twist and conflict? :D
