Chapter 29
Kiba sighed and stared at the stars, gathering what was left of his courage. She wrapped her arms around her chest and hugged herself, shivering from the cold. She was staring at something on the other side of the beach, and didn't notice that he had removed his coat until she felt it around her shoulders.
She snapped her head back to find that Kiba's face was right in front of hers, and that he was looking at her with his eyes, no sunglasses hiding the extremely light shade of brown. He wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her into his lap, running his fingers lightly along her cheek.
"I jumped after you because I love you." He stated, leaning forward and brushing his lips against hers. She froze, mind crumbling into a heap of stupidity. She managed to take in a gasp of air, and kissed him back, relaxing and seeming to fall into his kind embrace.
She barely registered that she was pushed onto her back. The sea water lapped at their feet. Kiba paused above her to gaze at her. He smiled and moved a few strands of hair out of her face.
"You're beautiful, Sheeva. You always have been." He whispered, kissing her again, a little more forceful and full.
He broke away and placed small, light kisses on her cheek, and then on her neck. His Kikaichu were buzzing and jittering with excitement, and he didn't bother trying to control them—he wanted to enjoy this moment as much as he could.
Even Naomi had risen from her long slumber to see what all the fuss was about with Sheeva—her host's body temperature was high, and her heartbeat elevated, but she wasn't in a battle or panicking. The adrenaline running through her veins held no hint of fear. Instead, it held hints of… passion. Naomi wanted to interfere, but remembered that she was supposed to be mad at Sheeva, so she slipped back into her "cave" and went back to sleep.
Sheeva hadn't realized Naomi's presence. She was now focused on the intensity of the feelings of Kiba's mouth against the skin of her neck, his lips, his tongue, the small but satisfying bite of his teeth…
He was enjoying each moment of this, from the soft, smooth skin writhing beneath him to the soft breaths of air she took. She giggled when he poked her in the side playfully, and rolled over, pinning him down. She kissed him lightly, and then took his hitai-ate off of his head, kissing his forehead.
"Your eyes are so cool. It's a shame that you hide them." She commented. He smiled.
"Just something my dad always does." He replied.
She kissed him again, intertwining their fingers and biting his ear. She kissed his neck as well, smirking. She laughed as a few kikaichu crept out to crawl on her, examining what had aroused the change in their master. He flipped her over, and held her hands above her head, kissing her passionately.
Something flashed in his eye, and he broke away from her, sitting up, staring at it. He held a hand to block out the light.
"What the hell are you doing to my daughter, Aburame?!" Kankuro's voice shouted out in the dark. Sheeva sat up, shocked.
"Dad? What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, standing quickly.
"I--I--we were just—I didn't mean to—
--I saw damn well what you meant to do!" He barked, shielding Sheeva from his view.
"STOP!" Sheeva shouted. Kankuro shined the light on her. The others came running, including the First Mate and Captain.
"Kiba wasn't trying to hurt me, ok?! We were talking, and things turned around a bit. Shut up and calm down!" She yelled at him. He stared at her, and then turned to Kiba.
"Is that what really happened?" He asked.
"Yes, sir." Kiba's voice cracked. Kankuro shot him an evil look and then turned around grumbling to himself about "perverted teenagers".
Sheeva helped Kiba stand, and brushed him off.
"Sorry. Dad can be mean sometimes." She stated. When Eva took a closer look, she noticed that Kiba's hair was ruffled, and Sheeva was wearing his coat. She began to laugh out loud, unable to control it. She clutched at her sides, and fell to the ground at her knees, rolling around on the beach.
"This is awesome! You got caught! You got caught! Ha Ha Ha!!" She yelled. Sheeva sighed and began to walk away. Baki smirked as she passed. She caught it, and shook her head, embarrassed.
He followed her, and strolled beside her.
"Took you two long enough." He sneered. She sighed.
"Go get laid, Baki." She retorted, running to find the boat.
He sighed and shook his head, snorting as he placed his hands on his hips.
"Whatever…" He watched as Kankuro passed, then Eva, smirking to herself.
"Nairobi." He called. She stopped and turned.
"Yeah?"
"Don't piss with Sheeva. She'll just tell you to go get laid." He warned. She held back a laugh, and nodded.
"Ok, sir." She smiled, and then left.
Baki caught Kiba as he walked by.
"Let's hope this doesn't happen again—Sheeva running away, I mean." He stated. Kiba nodded.
"It won't." He replied. Baki nodded, and slapped him on the back.
"You should have seen the look on your face—it was priceless!" He sneered. Kiba said nothing and continued to walk away. He was trying to still the frantic beating of his heart, and trying to not shake at the same time. Baki stared at the moon for a little bit, sighing as he felt the familiar pain of loneliness. Everyone had someone they loved, except for him. He smiled as he thought of the Junín that he had met when he was training the Sand Siblings. Her red eyes had captivated him, and they stayed with him even now. He remembered her curvy hips, beautiful black wavy hair, and the big breasts. He frowned and shook it out of his head, and headed back to the boat.

Eva skipped across the deck, and stood by Sheeva, who was staring out at the ocean.
"What's up?" She chirped. Sheeva stared at her.
"You're unusually happy. What happened to you? Prozac?" She asked. Eva snorted.
"No. I'm just happy that you're not leaving anymore, and I still think it's funny that you and Kiba got caught. That was priceless." She laughed. Sheeva shot her a dirty look.
"Shut up, Eva." She walked away. Eva frowned.
She turned and tried to find what Sheeva had been searching for, but gave up after a good ten minutes. She checked her watch for the date. March 31. Her eyes lit up with mischief.
Tomorrow is April Fools! How'd she know about the Prozac? OH! I'm gonna get her! This is gonna be great!
She skipped across the deck to find Baki and Kankuro.
******************************************************************************
Sheeva stirred to the smell of bacon wafting through the bunks. She smiled and sat up, mouth watering.
"Who's the sinner that cooked bacon?" She asked, leaping out of the bunks and running to the kitchen, where Kankuro was cooking.
"Bacon and omelets, kid. That's a kick ass breakfast right there."
Eva butted in, popping up out of nowhere.
"Good morning! Coffee?" She asked, holding up a glass of coffee. Sheeva blinked and raised an eyebrow.
"Ok…" She muttered and took the coffee, sipping on it. She made a face.
"I need creamer and sugar. Lots of it." She demanded. Eva took the cup back and began to spoon sugar and creamer into it, stirring it around and handing it back. Sheeva sighed and took a drink. She sighed again.
"Wow. That's a good coffee. Thanks." She went to turn back around, and bumped into Baki. He nodded, and took a cup and poured himself a cup of coffee.
"All we need is Aburame, and we're a full house." He muttered. As if on cue, Kiba walked in and stretched, grabbing a cup and filling it with clean water. He downed it, and got another glass, downing it as well.
"Morning…" He walked away.
They stared, confused.
"What's with him?" Baki asked.
"Oh, he's probably just mad. I woke him up in the middle of the night—I accidentally stepped on his hand trying to get to the bathroom." Eva replied. Sheeva stared at her, mouth agape.
"What?"
"He was on the floor. He rolled out of the hammock he was in." Eva laughed. Sheeva shrugged.
"Whatever…" She finished off her coffee and walked out after him.
She found him in the crow's nest, hands in his pockets with his usual cold stare.
"What's up?" She asked. He looked at her, then went back to gazing at the sea.
"Something's wrong. Back at home. I don't know what it is, and that bothers me." He whispered.
She leaned against the railing.
"It'll be ok. We'll be home in a week or two." She stated. He took a deep breath.
"That's what's bugging me. Something about returning home." He muttered. She didn't catch it, and asked him to repeat himself. He told her to never mind, and left. She frowned and crossed her arms, staring out at the sea.
What is wrong with you? She pondered. She sat down in the chair on the crow's nest, and let the rocking of the boat rock her to sleep.
******************************************************************************
As they set foot on the beach, they breathed in the scent of the air, sighing in relief.
"I can't wait to get home… the sand, the greenhouse, and god, the heat! It's freezing here!" Eva smiled. Sheeva raced out to meet her, a large grin on her face.
"WHOOO HOOO!!! FREEDOM!!!" She screeched at the top of her lungs.
"What the hell did you do to her?" Kiba asked, rubbing his temples on the sides of his forehead. He stepped off the boat, and nearly tripped as he stood on the ground.
Kankuro stretched and laughed as he watched his daughter jumping around exstatically. Baki elbowed him.
"Have fun dealing with that later, you know?" He joked. Kankuro nodded.
"Yeah."
They started on their long journey towards Suna, trying to ignore the random outbursts from Sheeva. Eva cracked up when she finally told Sheeva and Kiba what the three of them had done. Kiba stared at them for a minute, then chuckled.
"That's not nice." He laughed.
He backed off as Sheeva ran past, screaming. He waited and grabbed her arms as she ran past, dragging her with him as he began walking back to Suna. Eva smiled and trailed behind, attempting to hold back Kankuro from murdering the poor boy. Baki just grinned.
