Apparently Kiba loved scary movies... a lot... after Scream I and II and III we did Saw I. I'm never, EVER answering the phone when I'm alone again. This always happened when I watched horror, but in about an hour after the movies I'd be right as rain again. Just as it was reaching a climax-

'BANG'

"Holy shit!"

"AHHHHHHH!"

"Oh my GOD!" We both shrieked jumping about 3 feet into the air before tumbling off the bed, the scream of the girl being attacked rung throughout the room. It was completely unmanly to say the least.

"Afternoon Kiba, what's up?" The girl who'd 'rescued' Kiba from my house a few days prior stated, looking completely relaxed as she leant against the door frame - completely unaware of how close we both where to having a heart attack.

"Hana! The hell, are you trying to kill us!? You scared the shit out of me!" Kiba hollered as he struggled to untangle himself from the blanket, pillows, shirts and myself; Hana just laughed at our futile struggles to separate ourselves from our imprisonment.

"You look ridiculous you know that right?"

"Yeah thanks, now stop standing there and come help us out." Kiba muttered darkly, as I continued to remove the pillows and shirts still trapping him. Easier if I just didn't say anything at this point and just helped him out of the mess he'd got himself into.

"Nah, don't think I will... So you must be one of Kiba's sporting friends." She stated turning to me, I cracked into laughter at that, causing Hana to jump out of her skin and take a few steps back with a look that I'd gotten so many times already. That, 'oh-wow-another-psychopathic-friend-better-call-th e-insane-asylum.' Same thing every-time, after the first one you just laugh at the look and attempt to grin innocently at them (never works but they don't call the asylum).

"Seriously, you think I'm one of those knuckle headed idiots? Please! I'm Kankuro Sabaku, Kiba's biology partner and outside of sports friend." I stated still chuckling at the thought of me being one of his sporting friends.

"Really!? So that means you'd have to be part of Solana's and Moonshadow's group of boys then? Wow, Kiba's never brought one of you round before. I'm surprised the girls even let you near him. Kiba has been... mean, to them before. Not on purpose of course, he was lead astray by his other friends and a really mean guy called Sai. The bastard used to have the hots so bad for Kiba, always touching him, trying to get him to go on a date with him. Turned out he was switching between him and Naruto. Good thing he left school the year before last otherwise I'm sure Kiba would've smashed that guys face in. Oh, he's not usually violent but Sai had been getting on his nerves for ages, so it was expected. I hope he's being attempting to make amends with you guys... Wait you're the boy I picked Kiba up from earlier." Finally it seemed to be sinking in as we sat staring at her through her ramblings. "Wait a minute you're THAT Kankuro, the one that Kiba says is eighteen turning nineteen, with his own car. The one he wants to-"

"Alright, time for you to leave. Thank you for telling him EVERYTHING!" Kiba gushed pushing his sister out the door, as I just sat blinking up at him from the floor. He leant against the closed door with a heart wrenching sigh. "God, somedays she just gets going and doesn't shut up. So embarrassing..."

"The one you want to what? Kiba?" I asked, sauntering over to him, intrigued to the point of curiosity killing the cat.

"N-n-nothing, just something silly. It's fine. It's nothing." Kiba gushed, face burning red as he avoided making eye contact with me.

"Come on puppy, you can tell me anything." I breathed into his ear, watching as he shivered, nibbling on the ridge gently.

"Just that I wanted, to maybe, if you wanted to, perhaps during the holidays, I wanted to date you."

"That doesn't work in the sentence she was setting up little one. Come on, I'm curious now, tell me."

"The one I wanted to fuck me." I started laughing softly, enjoying how my previous assumption was correct.

"Good boy, see now, telling me isn't so hard. Good attempt though, I knew you'd say that." Kiba went red and his brows furrowed, it was the cutest look of infuriation I'd ever seen.

"WAIT! You knew and you made me say it out loud!"

"Pretty much..." I snickered, Kiba snarled and tackled me to the floor. The play fighting never really hurt and me and Gaara did it all the time, but the dog was injured and I didn't want to aggravate the wounds. A trickle of blood ran down his side as we struggled making me freeze and pin him to the floor by his wrists as I stopped him from opening any of the other ones.

"Bastard!" He growled wiggling to get free, as I just tightened my hold on him so he couldn't move at all. "Let me go!"

"No! You're going to open your wounds, you've already done it to one, I don't need to watch you start bleeding again." He stilled fully and glanced down at the cut closest to his shoulder on the left side - the one dripping a sloping red line of blood.

"Damn... sorry. I'll be careful, promise. No more wrestling." I smiled softly and kissed his nose gently, leaning down and licking up the trail of blood. The copper taste something I didn't really mind as I cleaned up the cut and added a slight pressure to help stem the flow.

"Now... no more ruff and tumble, tonight you are delicate and fragile. So behave yourself." I muttered standing up to pull the dog back onto the bed.

"Aren't you staying?" He asked, calming down once more.

"Course I am, you can't get rid of me. But I'm going to need to pop home to grab some things and make sure everything's good on their end."

"Yeah, of course. I'll go help Hana with dinner and explain things to her while you do that." Smiling softly I brushed a kiss across his forehead and walked out of the house to the car. Hana waved me off from where she was feeding the dogs in the front yard.
