Shino Aburame was complimented by their instructor; in fact, she was in awe of the boy's newly made "masterpiece", and coaxed the whole class to give him a round of applause. The young boy blushed and fidgeted very much like his teammate Hinata, Kiba rolled his eyes in disgust.
Shino had a penchant for older women.
The thought made Kiba stuck his tongue out as if he was to vomit, apparently, their team was made of love struck loons, including him. But then, Shino wasn't monogamous.
He set his eyes on Sakura who was told that she needed improvement; he could almost see the pink-haired girl glaring at Shino. Inuzuka could only raise an eyebrow.
When the class ended, the Konoha genins would hang out for a while, talking. Everyone needed a conversation once in a while.
"Haruno, if you see Sasuke and Naruto, tell them to try Flower Arrangement!" Lee cheered, holding both Sakura's hands and holding them to his chest.
"Uhhm…O-okay, I'll try talking them into it." What she said seemed impossible. Shino heard of this and quickly forced himself between the two.
"Please make them take the lessons, especially Naruto…Kiba will be very happy to see him."
Kiba, who was eating curry bread choked on his food and turned blue. He was taken to a nearby clinic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto's POV
"Damn you Sasuke! Don't tell people things this serious!" I couldn't concentrate anymore, I couldn't think straight even if I wanted to.
That Uchiha bastard! Who the hell does he think he is saying things like that? I closed the windows and plopped down my bed, forcing myself to sleep. I knew sleeping couldn't solve anything, I knew that sleeping will never help come up with an answer.
Confessing like some lovesick moron. The stupid Sasuke, that stupid,stupid Sasuke! I got up and pulled the blanket up to my head, tossing and turning.
All thanks to Sasuke.
All thanks to that arrogant, insensitive, know-it-all dope. Saying that he likes me, what the hell does he like about me anyway?! The words he said to me were the words Sakura-chan wanted to hear!
God, I hate him so much. I hate him so much, I hate him for making my heart skip a beat every now and then, uncertain of what I should do whenever he's around, and it's something I shouldn't be feeling for another boy.
WE'RE BOTH GUYS!
I can't say I love him back, I can't say it.
My life is complicated as it is, I must not let someone like Sasuke make it worse.
But then, was I selfish? Or was I throwing my happiness right out the window?
I slapped myself.
"Naruto! Do you even know what you're saying?! Sasuke is not your happiness!"
Although, having Sasuke with me gave me a reason to become a better person, I strived to change myself no matter what it took.
All thanks to Sasuke.
I held on to my pillow tight, and before I knew it, I was crying.
I was crying because loving Sasuke back will only hurt someone else. Loving Sasuke will hurt Sakura. And I can never become selfish enough to do that, because I liked Sakura, didn't I?
Didn't I?

"So, how are you?"
"Pretty much okay, I think…"
It was in the middle of the
Two figures sat, eating in a ramen cart. One was a young boy wearing a dull, grey jacket, Kiba Inuzuka and the other was a silver-haired man who always kept his other eye hidden, the man called Kakashi-sensei.
Kiba was, as usual, with his loyal pet Akamaru and enjoying two servings of sweet potato cake. The older man however treated himself to a nice bottle of rice wine. There they sat with contentment. Then the boy began to talk.
"Listen, I spent two weeks of my allowance on this."
"Go on."
'I risked myself getting caught by adults to get this."
"Very noble, If I say so myself"
Kiba, with his hands trembling, reached with in his coat, fingers prying within. Kakshi breathed heavily, nervous as well, his heart thumping at an incredible pace.
"Please take it! This is what I am willing to do so that you may bridge the gap between me and Naruto!" Kiba declared like a noble warrior of love, Kakashi's eyes shone.
"T-That's the—the—" Kakashi almost fell from his seat., stuttering with his words as he took a closer look at the said object.
"The Best of Icha Icha Paradise, fully illustrated, and in mint condition. It costs fifteen thousand yen but it's yours for free, Kakashi-sensei."
The jounin thought he was going to fall down on his knees, here he was, in the presence of something so divine. What Kiba had in his hands was a limited collector's item that was drawn by one of the best artists of Konoha.
All he had to do was set up the two, Naruto and Kiba. Give Kiba the chance to confess to his blonde student. It was all he had to do.
"Fine then, I'll do anything you want."
Kiba's face beamed, he could feel the world celebrating with him. He could feel victory right ahead. By the time Kiba gave the book to Kakashi, the two squealed and giggled like teenage girls.
The ramen cart owner complained, the two were too noisy and disturbed the other residents. The two simply ignored him.
Kakashi placed his arm around Kiba and dragged his beside him.
"Give us two bottles of sake!"
The owner frowned. "I'm sorry to tell you this but that young boy isn't old enough to drink, sir."
Kiba's eyes turned, furious. He grabbed the owner by the collar and pulled him viciously till they were face to face.
"I'm old enough to kick you ass though."
The owner gladly gave the rice wine, a smile pasted on his face.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good Morning Sunshine!"
It was 10 a.m, the sun and the light covered the village of Konoha. Everything was at peace.
But Naruto wasn't.
"K-Kakashi-sensei?! What are you doing here?!!"
His teacher pulled the blanket away, opened the curtains and windows. "This is another day for you to become closer to your goal!" Naruto trembled.
"You sound like Gai-sensei."
The words stabbed Kakashi straight through the heart. He paused for a moment, his backed turned to avoid Naruto's suspicious glare.
"Ah well, you see… I found the perfect sparing partner for you." Kakashi reasoned out, right after collecting the courage to face the young boy.
"Really?"
"Yes! Really! Now take a nice warm bath and go down to meet him! Wear something nice! He's young, agile, smart, good-looking…his clan has been rather well known here. I'm hinting you the fact that he's absolutely rich!" Instead of sounding like a convincing teacher, Kakashi sounded more like a mother who was forcing her daughter to marry someone she didn't know.
"Kakashi-sensei what you said hardly describes this guy as a good fighter."
"He's strong!"
"Oh, okay…you have my consent, Kakashi-sensei."
The older man sighed in relief when Naruto went inside the bathroom on his free will. He looked out on the window to see Kiba picking up some twigs for Akamaru to chase after.
He sighed again and took out the divine gift he received form the said boy, holding it to his chest with a dreamy look.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiba picked up another twig, Akamaru seemed bored since Kiba really didn't give enough effort to throw the darn little things hard enough and far enough. The young genin realized this, he closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He swung his arm back, the twig firmly in his hands.
"HERE!" He threw the twig with all his effort, Akamaru barked happily as he ran after the said twig that was still flying through the air.
"Ouch! Who the hell threw this stick at me!?!"
Kiba decided to open his eyes slowly, curious at to whom it was he accidentally hit. What he was to surprise him. Sasuke Uchiha held the twig in the palms of his hand, waiting for Akamaru to reach him.
The dog did indeed reach him, Akamaru wagged his tail excitedly, as if begging Sasuke to hand the stick to him. Uchiha could only smirk, he held the twig tighter and brought up his other hand to hold on to the other edge. He smiled wider at the innocent Akamaru clinging to his leg.
Sasuke Uchiha, bended the twig down and broke it into half, and broke it once more till there were four broken bits. The snapping sound seemed to echo throughout the Konoha village.
He gathered them in his hand, and like sand, allowed them to fall before the poor dog's eyes. He laughed maniacally in triumph, pointing the stunned Kiba and Akamaru.
Kiba and his dog growled.
"And here I thought you were one of those frigid, cold bastards, Sasuke. You're crazier than I thought."
"Compared to you Kiba, I'm fairly normal."
Akamaru tackled Sasuke down to the ground, exposing his sharp fangs at boy. Sasuke tried to push him away because the dog looked like it was ready to tear his face apart.
"Arrghhh! Damn mutt!"
Kiba wore a sadistic, evil grin while watching Sasuke struggling away from "the mutt". But that grin soon wore off when Sasuke succeeded in throwing Akamaru away from him.
Sasuke, busy trying to get up didn't notice that Kiba was already behind him, and was preparing for the final blow. His dark eyes grew wide, and his mind began to send and automatic response.
Sasuke kicked something that both he and Kiba treasured as men, their manhood.
Flashes of white enveloped Kiba, his hands clinging unto his beloved manhood, mouth half open as he fell face down to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Something more horrific happened to Kiba, standing before him was Kakashi and—Naruto. And they had witnessed everything.
Inuzuka closed his eyes and fainted.
This was the second time this week that he would be taken to the clinic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiba awoke in a white room ever so familiar to him, he was comfortably laid down in a soft, fluffy king size bed. "W-What happened?" He asked himself, sitting up to have a better look at the place, fumbling about the blanket as he set his feet free from the cloth so he could sit comfortably.
'No need to worry you can still use it."
He shifted his head to the left and was shocked to see Naruto sitting by his side on a chair. The blonde wasn't in his usual ninja garb, instead, he had his head protector off and his outfit was composed of the trademark blue shirt and white pants.
"Use what?"
"Y-your….thing."
"What thing?"
Naruto blushed a bit as he pointed down at Kiba's groin. Kiba's face turned red not knowing what to say.
"T-that means I can use it Naruto! I can use it anytime I want! I can have sex whenever I want! "
Unfortunately he wasn't as sharp and smart as Sasuke, his answer sounded lewd and perverted, that's why Naruto punched him in the face, Kiba's nose was bleeding.
"Why would I want to use that with you?!"
"I-I mean….You misunderstood, what I actually meant was, well….That's great!"
Naruto moved away, looking for something to stop the bleeding. He luckily found himself a towel and damped on the bottom of Kiba's nose.
"I just wish you knew what you were saying."
Kiba's heart pounded, whenever Naruto would get dangerously close to him. He breathed harder and harder each time. To control himself was an achievement in it's own right.
"You took care of he before, it's only right I return the favor."
Naruto blurted out, unknowing of Kiba's self restraint. After finished wiping away the blood, Naruto leaned in to the farther side of the bed, pulling the blanket over Kiba's lower half of his body.
"Kakashi-sensei said that he'd contact Kurenai-sensei to take care of you."
It wasn't surprising that Kiba didn't think before he acted, in fact, at times it was his strong point. It made him cunning and unpredictable, very much like now.
"Nah, I'm actually enjoying myself with you taking care of me." He said, propping himself up with the use of both his elbows, he let out a sweet smile, Naruto chuckled, trying to hide his own shock.
"Yeah right, quit teasing."
"I'm not teasing! I'm being perfectly honest with you. I like you."
I like you. How could two people, namely Sasuke and Kiba say something so easily? Naruto wanted to whack his head upside down, but instead, he let out another laugh as he finished fixing the blanket.
Naruto took caution to keep his distance from Kiba and sat back on his chair, pouring hot tea into a wooden cup. "So then, What do you like so much about an idiot like me?"
"You're cute, you smile a lot, you aren't entirely useless and pretty much a nice person."
"That's not a good enough reason, Kiba. If you haven't noticed, I happen to be a guy." It was to fight off Kiba's direct honest feelings. Being a guy was a good enough reason why Kiba shouldn't like him. Just like Sasuke.
"And why should that matter?"
Naruto almost sprayed the hot tea out of his mouth if he hadn't controlled himself. Kiba frowned.
Uzumaki gulped the tea down, fast. His hands a bit shaky while placing it back to the table.
Inuzukas were passionate people, intense and focused on things they had their eyes on. They were aggressive and ferocious, possessive and obsessed. Kiba carried out these traits perfectly as a person.
"I-I have to go, Kiba."
But Kiba could never possibly allow that. The taller boy pulled Naruto down and his intense eyes forced the other look at his straight at the face. The blonde could on tremble in Kiba's arms.
Inuzuka brough his hands up to cup Naruto's face so that their eyes would meet. The taller boy lowered his head and darted on Naruto's neck. He opened his mouth, sucking on the milk white skin.
The moment lasted for a few minutes but it seemed eternity for the both of them. Kiba drew back, and what he left on Naruto's skin was a red, throbbing spot.
Kiba Inuzuka had marked the boy as his own.

Author's Notes: I see an insanely jealous Uchiha somewhere….hmm…the smell of jealously reeks within the village of Konoha! [laughs] Review please, I was afraid of writing this chapter. Believe it or not, I can't write a decent kissing scene to save my life. Arrggh, it's so hard. XP
