"Akamaru! You take that side, i'll take the guy side!" Kiba said, running into the bath house.

"Hey! You no pay!" a lady scolded at the two.

Dosu stood there, infront of the door. He diecided he needed to relax, after looking after Zaku and Kin for so long. He stopped and wondered how the two were doing. It was noon now, and they might have woken up and went to look for Dosu.

Nah.

Dosu thought of the likley hood that a handicapped Zaku, and a fever struck Kin would go out and look for him.

Their probably waking up right now. Kin would be saying how i'm missing, and Zaku would say somthing like 'forget him.' and go back to sleep. Their so predictable.

(Yawn)

"Morning already?"

"It's noon Zaku."

"Sure it is."

(Sigh)

"Hey, wait. Where's Dosu? Zaku, Dosu's not here!"

"Aw, forget him."

(sigh)

Dosu walked in. He looked around the men side of the bath house, and spoted Kiba on all fours loking for Hinata.

"What makes you think she'll be on this side of the bath house?"

Kiba looked up.

"Dammit! Why didn't I think of that! Akamaru, how you doing over there!" Kiba yelled over the wall.

"Akamaru! Answer me!"

"I didn't think i'd have to come to this." Kiba pulled out a blond curly wig out of no where. He sat the thing on Dosu's head.

"Now get in there!"

Dosu threw the wig in Kiba's face. He ran away timidlly, into a bath.

Kiba sighed and adjusted the wig. As he walked to the other side (still on all fours) his hand smushed a purplish lipstick on the floor, infront of the female entry.

"Perfect!" Kiba shook the thing, wondering how to apply it.

"Here. Let me help you."

Kiba looked up, to find Haku staring down at him. He picked up the lipstick, and passed it onto Kiba's lips.

"There. Now you can be proud of your gender."

"Hey! Wait a minute lady! Iain't gay!"

"Of course your not." Haku chuckled.

Kiba fumed.

"I'm very aware of that. Your trying to sneak over to this side now aren't you? I found it very easy."

Kiba looked up at him confused.

"I'm a boy. They threw me in here, confusing me with a female. I'm going over to the other side now."

Haku walked into the male side.

What the hell just happened? Kiba thought.

"Hey Kin. I'm hungry. Kin? Hellooo?"

(snore)

"Nooooooo! I have to eat moldy bread!" Zaku looked over at a peice of bread lying next to him.

"I see I have company."

Dosu looked up. He noticed Haku walk in.

He..that boy..from the woods.

Dosu sighed in relief, as Haku had jumped into the water still fully clothed.

I see your still in your clothing as well."

"yeah." Dosu remebered that he had jumped in the water to get away from Kiba like that.

Haku let himself sink into the water, to his lips.

Dosu stared at him.

Why is he so...intresting? I never thought...I would wonder so much of a boy like him.

Haku's long eylashes met, closing into a shallow darkness.

Dosu smiled. He couldn't help it.

When i'm around him, all I want to do is smile. There's something about him, that makes me feel so..warm.

wait, no, maybe that's the water...

Dosu looked down, then back up.

No, it's definatlly him.

Kiba walked around for a while. He found Akamaru was the only one in there, doing the doggy paddle in the bath.

"Hey! No dog in water!" The same lady as before scolded.

Kiba and Akamaru flew out of the door, landing hard on the dirt floor. Kiba had gotten thrown further, and colided into a wall of the building infront.

Kiba layed there in pain. His body was stiff, and he noticed he had small scratches.

"K-kiba? Kiba! A-are you okay?"

Kiba opened his eyes to find Hinata staring into his face, their noses almost touching.

"h-huh?"

"Ah! I-i'm sorry." Hinata blushed and backed away, noticing how close there faces were.

Hinata helped him to his feet. Kiba walked over and picked up Akamaru, who was whinning on the floor.

"I was looking for you."

"Y-you were?"

He...he was looking for...ME? B-but why? Why would he care so much about me? Oh Kiba. You're so...so--

"Yeah. Kurenai was looking for you."

"I'm just kidding. Well, yeah, she is, but...there's another reason why."

Your..so helpless, lying there in deep sleep. How...how I wish I could reach out to you...and hold you. To be able to take away that fever.

Take away the pain.

And fear.

Why did I have to be so...so pathetic?

I'm good for nothing.

Kin's eyes slowly opened, revealing her beautiful glossy eyes. She lokked into Zaku's.

"Thank you Zaku...for being here. It's...all I can ask for."

Zaku smiled.

Kin sat up slowly next to Zaku.

She felt dizzy sitting up so fast. Her head was throbbing, and the room seemed to spin. She fell to her side, into Zaku, knocking him onto his back, as Kin once again rested on his chest, lisstening to his heart. Feeling his warmth seep through his shirt, to meet Kin's face, making her feel warm all over.

Zaku layed there. He adjusted his head, his nose gently touching Kin's head, breathing in her sweet sent.

I love you.

I never once felt special in my entire life. Why? Why do you bring such pleasure? So much, that it makes you even more desireable. Dosu thought.

Dosu and Haku had walked out of the bath, their clothing soaking wet. They walked side by side, towards the warm hazzy sunset, looming infront of them.

"It was nice talking to you." Haku walked past Dosu.

Yes. There's somthing about you Dosu. Your so mysterious. It makes me want you more and more. I can not stop thinking of you, and you haunt my every waking thoguht. Why? Why is it that, I feel that I desire you, as much as I desire Zabuza? I know I can't have you both. But the fact is, I can't have any of you. We are abided by gender, making it impossible for any of the two of you to return any fellings whatsoever. But..it still makes me wonder. Is it just one sided love that i feel for these men? Or..do they feel the same way? Are they repolsed by the sickning thught, that I could ever fall in love, for them? Is it that I am to live with a lid shut tight on these feelings, locking them up in the darkest corner of my heart, my mind, and my soul?

Haku had stopped walking by now, as his head was thinking to much to conentrate on the road ahead of him.

Dosu had caught up to him.

At first, Dosu was reluctant to the idea. He had a odd feeling that he should turn and walk the other way, back to the apartment, but something inside of him, made him go to Haku. Haku was so desirable. Dosu felt as if Haku's warmth was pulling him towards him. He was sweeped away by curiousity, and desire. What he desired for was nothing he could discribe. He just couldn't stand being apart from him any further.

Does he feel the same way as I do? They thought in unison.

Haku turned around, a bewildered look on his face. His hand had caught the warm, yet cold grip of Dosu's hand.

"Please. Don't go."

Kiba looked at Hinata.

Why, why is it that, I have these strange feelings for you? I never had them before, but somehow, you make me feel so warm, so complete. Akamaru said, it was love. Could it be Hinata? That I, such a strange creature like me, could fall for such a flower, still waiting to bloom?

Kiba looked down at the floor.

Akamaru barked in the distance, leaving them a bit of space.

I know Akamaru, i know.

Hinata couldn't help but blush. SHe keept thinking on how, such a person as Kiba would want to tell her something.

Kiba. How can i tell you how I feel? I know, you may never want someone, so...so pathetic as me...but...I won't give in to my negative thoughts. Allthough...it's probably true. Someone like you...deserves so much more than me. So why---

Kiba hugged Hinata. Hinata hugged him back. As they held onto each other, they became bewildered. Blushes apeared on their faces, and they had finally gotten the answere they wanted, to that question that seeped through thier every thought.

They loved each other.

Kin still layed on Zaku.

I felt usless my entire life before I meet you Kin. You make me regret that.

Kin had finally regained some power, and had helped Zaku stand up. They stood next to each other, in akward silence.

Haku looked into Dosu's eyes. He couldn't help but think, that he had been wrong. It WAS possible, to get the same feeling back. To be loved.

Haku felt curious to what layed behind the bandages.

He lgently lifted the bandage that covered Dosu's lips.

He came closer.

Kin felt drawn to Zaku. They came closer. Both their minds ran wild, and they seemed to have no control on their bodies.

They came together, and locked lips.
