"Kiba, are you feeling alright?" Shino asked as he ceased his movement "you seem distracted" Shino continued halting his attack on the Inuzuka

"Y-Yeah" Kiba said, fleeing from Shino's attacks before stopping his movement and panting loudly, sweat dripping down his cheeks as he stood still, slightly hunched over.

"Are you sure? Would you like to stop for today?" Shino asked, slightly concerned, even though his voice didn't show it.

"N-No, I-Im fine" Kiba stuttered as he stood back up properly. He wasn't fine, not in the slightest, the thought of Naruto and what could happen later, lingered in his mind, even throughout the sparring session, it stayed there, etched into his memory. His anxiety grew more violent and harsh with every thought that possessed his mind. He was so overwhelmed with what could go wrong that his mind wouldn't even try to think about what could happen if Naruto reciprocated his feelings towards Kiba. All he could do was think of the damage it could cause to their relationship...

"Kiba"

"Kiba"

"Kiba!"

"W-What!?" Kiba asked as he returned back to reality not knowing that he had drifted back into his thoughts

"I Think we should leave it here for today" Shino sighed as he looked over at Hinata, she nodded in agreement

"A-Are you sure?" Kiba asked, stuttering as the words began to leave his mouth "I-I Can still practice"

"No, just go home and get some rest" Shino spoke, shaking his head as he walked past Kiba and approached Hinata "We should go" Shino continued, Hinata replied to Shino with a nod, before they both faced Kiba, Shino saying "We'll see you later" Before they both left the training grounds to return to their homes, Akamaru let out a whine as they did so. "Bye Akamaru" Hinata spoke, stroking the ninja pup, before she left, cheering him up slightly in the process.

Kiba stood motionless in the training Grounds as his vision dropped to the damaged concrete floor. Tears fell from the Inuzuka's eyes, passing the the sweat that plastered his face.

"Why..."

"Why!?" Kiba shouted, hunching his body over, slamming the concrete with his fist in frustration

"WHY!?" Kiba continued, raising his voice. He dropped to the ground, landing on his knees as tears continued to drop from his cheeks, onto the concrete, pooling into the cracks and dents of the worn ground. "Why..." The word escaped his now hoarse throat as he placed his still clenched fist against the concrete. Tears continuing to fall from his eyes, spilling down his cheeks and landing onto the ground.

Akamaru whimpered as he witnessed the sight of his owner collapsed against the ground, crying.

Kiba continued to cry as his vision stayed attached to the concrete. Seconds passed as Kiba stayed locked in the same emotional state. The Inuzaka wiped his eyes, deciding to open his mouth to say "Let's go Akamaru" in a low voice, the words leaving his damaged throat. Kiba got up from his downed position against the concrete, wiping the remaining tears off of his cheeks as he stood up, turning to Akamaru to reveal his reddened eyes and the expression of sorrow that was plastered across his face. Kiba approached the ninja pup, passing him to go and leave the training grounds, Akamaru let out another low whimper as he saw his emotional owner pass him and leave, Akamaru got up from where he was laying to follow Kiba back home.

As the pair were walking down the street Akamaru noticed tears slowing trickling down his face, Akamaru eager to cheer him up rubbed his head up against his side and let out a playful ruff trying to get his owners attention, Kiba didn't pay him any attention. They continued to walk through the streets. Tears continued to slowly fall from his eyes as he continued to walk through the streets, staring at the ground with an emotionless look plastered across his face. Akamaru tried again, pushing his side harder and ruffing louder to try and get his attention. This time after Akamaru did it Kiba stood in the street, motionless, his expresionless face still locked onto the ground, the tears stopped flowing...

...

...

...

'Ruff!'

Akamaru let out a final loud ruff, snapping Kiba out of his state, Kiba shook his head trying to regain his composure as his eyes darted towards his dog.

"T-Thanks boy" Kiba spoke in a low tone as he rubbed Akamaru's head, earning a smile and a happy woof from the dog.

...

Kiba and Akamaru soon arrived back home, Kiba opened the door once again to find his older sister in the kitchen unpacking groceries. Kiba quietly closed the door after entering back into their home, he kicked off his sandals and rushed back towards his room. His sister noticing her brothers return greeted him as he approached his bedroom

"Welcome back Kiba" She spoke with a smile, turning her head towards her younger brother as she did so. Kiba ignored his sisters words and made his way into his bedroom, closing the door before Akamaru could join him, he whined as the door closed in his face. Hana stared at the door in confusion, wondering what was wrong with her Brother. As Kiba sat back down on the familiar surface of his bed, he moved his eyes over to the wall, examining the clock that was positioned on it, Kiba stared at the clock, the time being imprinted into his mind 5:07. His face fell down, now staring at the wooden floor, both clean and dirty clothes laid on the floor, sparsely covering the wooden boards.

The same repetitive thoughts plaguing his mind, tarnishing his thoughts, not allowing him to think straight. "Damn it!" Kiba yelled out, punching the dresser that was positioned next to his bed. Kiba re-positioned himself, his head now hung in the embrace of his hands as his vision locked onto his bed sheets, unable to shift as his hands locked his head in place.

"Why?"

"Why does it have to be like this!?" The Inuzuka yelled, his screams muffled by the constraints of his forearms and the bed that laid below his face.

"WHY!?" Tears seeped from his eyes, rolling down his nose, tracing his cheeks before falling and pooling at his chin, slowly trickling down and soaking into the dirty bed sheets that he was sitting on. Tears continued to fall in the same pattern. Minutes, or what rather felt like hours upon hours of torment passed before Kiba finally released his head from the embrace of his hands and slowly ran his fingers across his cheeks, wiping them of as he did so. Kiba sniffled as he got up from the tear soaked bed that he had been sitting on, wiping the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes as he did so. He opened his door to find his sister approaching him.

"D-Dinners ready" Hana stated, taken back by her brother emerging from his room with eyes as red as their clans mark.

Kiba just replying with a simple "O-Okay" In a low tone as he closed his door and headed for the dining room.

Kiba darted his head over towards the clock that hung in the living room as he approached the dining room. 5:13. Kiba let out a small sigh as he moved his head back to its original position.

As the younger Inuzuka entered the dining room the smell of curry filled his nostrils as he approached the table, sitting down in a chair opposite from Hana

"Dinner's early" Kiba mumbled to himself taking a seat,

"Well, Mom's away on a mission and i figured you'd be hungry from training so i decided to do it early" Hana spoke with a smile, trying to cheer her younger brother up slightly, Kiba didn't take any notice and instead pointed his head towards the his dinner that laid before him. He started to eat, loading a spoon up with rice and curry before putting it into his mouth.

Hana looked at her brother, a concerned look plastered across her face as she did so.

"Kiba..."

"Is there something bothering you? You've been acting strange lately"

"Are you okay?" Hana spoke in a compassionate tone, worried with what was going on with her brother.

"Im fine" Kiba spoke in a harsh tone, continuing to eat as his sister stared at him

"You're not! Whats going on with you!?" Hana raised her voice in concern and worry

"It's none of your buisness!" Kiba yelled, slamming his spoon against the table, causing Hana to back off.

"I'm Fine" Kiba spoke, lowering his voice before getting up and retreating back into his room

'Kiba... Whats going on?'
