The follow up to this shall be Kiba/Hinata! Because snow child yukiko-chan likes Kiba/Hinata and so do I. And this idea is fun.

Nerve -- in which Akamaru is a total pest

It was her birthday again. And this year, he was determined to give her something. He'd even found the perfect thing. At least, he'd thought so when he'd bought it. Now he'd taken to worrying taht it wasn't good enough for her. It was just a simple little silver bracelet. Nothing special. A week ago he'd had a plan, now he didn't have the nerve to go through with it. Kiba sighed and looked around. Now where had Akamaru gone?

The pup was digging around in a dresser drawer.

"Akamaru, what are you doing?"

A soft bark-whine was the only response. A minute later he popped out of the drawer, a small box in his mouth.

"Akamaru, put that back."

Instead, Akamaru hopped out of the drawer and trotted over to the door.

"Hey, get back here."

The dog growled.

"What do you mean 'no'? Where do you think you're going?"

Akamaru had started out the door, but at that he stopped, set the box down and barked.

"What do you mean you're going to find Hinata? Akamaru!"

Too late. Akamaru had bolted out the door with the box. And in the direction of Hinata's favorite clearing, no less. Kiba cursed silently and followed. That damned dog was going to make him give Hinata the present. Akamaru had some nerve.
