The dog and the fox
He scared her.
She always thought it was strange. The qualities in Kiba that scared her were the same qualities that she loved in Naruto.
A dog and a fox.
She thought about them, not with any purpose, not thinking about she liked Naruto, not making up wonderful scenarios in which he would declare his love for her. Nothing like that. She thought about them unconsciously, hardly even thinking really. They were just there in her mind, as she was falling asleep.
In every detail they stood there in her mind, paper dolls. And yet, and yet, they were fuzzy. Like half forgotten memories. That was what kept her awake, when she was falling asleep and she thought she was forgetting him. She sat up and concentrate on him, make him clear in her mind. And then she would sleep.
But the other one, he was always there and he was loud and sharp and clear.
Because no matter how much he scared her, she still wished she could be more like him.
Chibi Tetra: I luff you too.
FQEB: i shortened your name because I'm lazy. I like Kiba too. I didn't really before, but then I did because he's so adorable with his puppy.
MKRA: Thanks. I'm trying not to write her too quiet and depressed as some people seem to. But she's so shy...
