Kiba chapter 21: Revelations of Past and Present
Katsumi was surprised by Tsume's remark and asked, "What do you mean by your husband's clan? Isn't he an Inuzuka like you?" Tsume laughed at her question but then stopped. She answered, "No. My husband was not part of the Inuzuka clan. What I am about to tell you is something that only a few Inuzuka know. The Inuzuka clan was not the only ninken clan in the Hidden Leaf at one time. There was also the Kyotakeda clan, who were known to use dark colored nin-wolves as their companions. They differentiated themselves from the Inuzuka by having their fang markings face upwards. I remember when I first met him… Kenta and his black nin-wolf Tsukimi. Kiba is the spitting image of his father, except Kenta had a beard and scars from numerous battles."
Katsumi took all of this information in and asked, "Why did Kiba's father leave? How does no one else know about this other ninken clan?" Tsume looked away and replied with sorrow in her tough voice, "It was because of their wolves. For an unknown reason, the Kyotakeda ninken started attacking villagers. The Third Hokage had the wolves put down and ordered the Kyotakeda clan to leave the village. It broke my heart when Kenta left us. I used the façade that my wild behavior had scared him off to hide Kiba from the truth. Hana found out a few years ago and I made her swear to never let him know. When I went to the house, I saw your ninken, Kurami. She bears a striking resemblance to Tsukimi."
Katsumi said, "So that it is why my clan lived near the Land of Waterfalls, away from Konoha. I think that I might have seen your husband near my village after I left. I was walking down through a mountain pass and I saw a shinobi accompanied by a nin-wolf on top of a ridge. I did not think anything of it at the time, but Kurami barked happily at the nin-wolf as if she was greeting a relative." Tsume said, "So Kenta is still alive after all these years…" Katsumi said, "Mrs. Inuzuka… there is something that I need to tell you… about me and Kiba…"
At that moment, Kiba burst through the hospital door and asked, "Katsumi, are you okay? Hinata told me that she took you to the hospital. I was worried." Then Kiba noticed his mother Tsume in the room. He said, "Mom, I'm surprised to see you here. I want to introduce you to Katsumi. She is my girlfriend." Tsume barked at him, "I know that, Kiba. Hana told me after I came in the house and found a torn bra with bite marks." Kiba and Katsumi both looked away out of embarrassment. Tsume continued to speak: "Despite my anger for you not telling me, I am willing to approve of this relationship. Katsumi seems like a strong kunoichi who will be able to control your hot temper. After all, she stood up to me without batting an eye. I will see you both at home." Tsume then left the room and Kiba climbed into the hospital bed with Katsumi.
Katsumi felt Kiba's arms wrap around her and pull her close to him. Katsumi said, "I'm all right, Kiba. I'm sorry that I made you worry." Kiba replied, "It's okay. Just let me know if something is bothering you next time." Katsumi decided that it was time for Kiba to know the truth. She grasped his hand and asked, "Do you remember that night by the waterfall?" Kiba answered, "Of course I do. I'll never forget the look of your beautiful bodu in the moonlight." Katsumi moved his hand to her stomach and said, "Kiba… I have a surprise for you. I am pregnant!" She waited to see Kiba's reaction to the news.
Kiba asked, "Are you sure, Katsumi? We only had that one night together…" Katsumi nodded her head and told him that Hana had confirmed her pregnancy with a special jutsu. Kiba kissed Katsumi repeatedly and saying, "I'm going to be a father! I can't believe it! I do everything that I can to help you and the baby." Katsumi smiled and said, "You mean babies, Kiba." She held up two fingers to show him that they were having twins. Kiba's face lit up with pride and he smiled at the news.
