Chapter 10?

"I don't like this."Naruto whispered to the blank faced Raven who 'hn'ed at him,"This is the guy, who hired those men to stalk me and Kiba; now we are at the party hosted by his boss?"

'Coincidence? I think not!'

"But the invitation arrived months ago, before Sasuke and you started dating." Itachi muttered in response to Naruto who turned to the older Uchiha and blinked,"I don't think we can say anything definitively."

"Yeah, but don't think it's weird that they took Kabuto's name and he turned out to be Orochimaru's secretary?"

"Certainly."Itachi agreed and Sasuke snorted.

"Doesn't matter who he is,"Sasuke barked,"You don't have to worry babe, I will kill them for you."

Itachi made a made at the confession and looked at his future bother-in-law in disbelief as he gazed back at Sasuke adoringly and flattered? 'What?'

"If you killed him, I will help you hide the body."Naruto promised stroking Sasuke cheeks with both of his hands affectionately.

Sasuke smirked back at him and Itachi decided it was his time to leave the deranged couple alone with their morbid conversation.

"Why are we doing this again?" Shino asked flatly as he and Kiba walked to the nearby convenience store holding hands.

"Doing what?" Kiba asked absentmindedly.

"This!" Shino emphasized holding up their joined hands and the other gesturing to the surrounding land which was all trees and no civilization in sight.

"It's been a while since I've been out at night, coz' I was cravin' popsicles."The brunette answered without stopping,"And this,"Kiba gestured to their linked hands,"Is your fault for making me watch that horrid movie. Consequences!"

Shino sighed, "It's still not safe, couldn't we have taken the car?"

"What kind of douche goes to a convenience store 15 minutes away, in a Limo?"

"Point."

"Besides,"Kiba continued, "I know Naruto is paranoid after what happened, sometimes he looks at me like something gonna' happen' while he's not with me. And although I know his concerns is not unfounded, I can't stay in Uchiha house forever, I have a job and Shikamaru will murder me, before those people who are after us, if I take any more days off."

"Are you telling me that you are thinking of leaving?"Shino kept his voice flat as dread started to creep inside of him as he thought of this idiot out on his own.

"I have to,"Kiba let go of Shino's hand and started walking again,"It's not weird for Naruto to stay here, this is his boyfriends family, but fuck! I can't stay here forever! I do like the Uchiha's,"Kiba paused,"Actually I only like Itachi and Mikoto-san." He corrected.

Kiba turned with a grin on his face and saw Shino had not moved from when he let go of his hand, he didn't seem amused and the brunette rolled his eyes went back and took Shino's clenched fist in his hand and proceeded to drag him towards the convenience store.

The walk to convenience store was just a couple of feet away and was complete silent, Kiba chewed his lips worriedly as Shino was more silent than his usual self, they have become good friends and if he reacted the way he did he could only imagine what Itachi, oh bloody hell even worse , how Naruto would react when he would tell him he was going back home where he- no they were attacked, he could only imagine the chaos and objection, he should probably break the news to them tomorrow after they had all slept off their exhaustion from the party.

Suddenly it was Shino who was shoving him and covering the few steps left between them and the store and Kiba confused let himself be man-handled,"Shino wha-"

"Get inside."The man in back hissed, as they entered the store which was mostly empty Shino locked the the main door from inside.

The lazy employee immediately objected in his half asleep state,"Dude! Whatya doin'?"

Both the employee and Kiba paled as Shino took out his handgun.

"Hide." Shino whispered harshly to Kiba and then turned to the pale shaking boy behind the counter,"Turn the lights off and hide behind the counter, no matter what you hear don't move."

"Shit. Shit!"Kiba hissed he pulled out his phone turned down the brightness and called Itachi, and cursed loudly when he didn't pick up on the first ring.

"Kiba!, I told you to hide!"Shino barked from the front of the store and Kiba snorted.

Yeah right.

Kiba knew Naruto was bad at phones, proof of which was that he left his phone at home and Sasuke preferred to text, he called the only person he knew would definitely pick up his phone and swore he would regret it later.

"My my, to what do i owe this pleasure?"

Kiba cursed every deity for his life to every make sense again.

Mikoto watched fondly as her youngest and his boyfriend were standing outside holding hands, she took out her camera and took some photos of them together,it was late almost 1 in the morning, the breeze felt cool and she smiled as the people passing by complimented her, it was good choice to wear red as Kiba had suggested, she had earned compliments left and right and it's been a while she felt so appreciated by her peers.

Not including her loving husband, she saw him waiting impatiently for Itachi to say goodbye to Mr. Johnson's daughter so they could leave, as she approached him, his phone rang.

Hearing a chuckle she looked up at his husband who had an amused and pleased smirk on his face, she raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes as his smirk widened.

"My my, to what do i owe this pleasure?"

She knew who it was, but her smile vanished along with his husbands disappearing smirk whose face turned grave and then his expression turned thunderous.

"Stay where you are! don't move-"

Both Itachi and Sasuke's head snapped to their father so fast, she was surprised they didn't break their necks.

What made them all pale was the gun shot loud enough to be heard though the phone and followed by what they assumed was Kiba's blood curing scream.

He dropped his phone as he saw Shino go down after the gunshot, he knew that Shino had phoned the house and help should be coming in less than five minutes,but...

But.

'Come on, come on give me a sign.'

A whimper escaped Shino's lips and Kiba dashed forward from where he was hiding behind the canned soup display and quickly picked up Shino who protested and dragged him with himself to the back of the store to the broom closet.

Shino breathing was labored and unsteady,"Ki-a, ru-nn. Ple-se lea-ve an-d ru-uun."

"I will if you don't shut up."Kiba growled, trying to sound tough even though he was very close to screaming bloody murder as he heard what were definite foot steps approaching closer, "Fuck! Fucking cunt flappers! Shit! Balls!"

Despite it all Shino let out a soft chuckle.

They entered the closet and Kiba locked it from inside took off his jacket and blocked out the bottom of the door so the light won't get out and turned to Shino worriedly.

"Don' w-arry 'ts fne,"Shino gasped out,"J'st a fle-h wond."

"Fuck!" Kiba took off his t-shirt to wrap it around the bodyguards' bleeding upper arm," Shit, man. Max Payne takes a lot of bullets, but he doesn't shit!"He cursed as the blood immediately soaked his t-shirt red,"Even in the movies, Arnold and Stallone! Shit I am not ready for you to die!"Kiba yelled hysterical and an involuntary laugh escaped Shino's lips causing him to gasp in pain. The time seem to slow down.

The sound of tires screeching outside causes both of them to pause, they both held their breathes and waited, not knowing who had just arrived,"I hope that's backup."Kiba muttered.

"Must be."The injured man replied,"it' was st-pid of them to a-tack so cl-se to Ucha' ho-use."

"Search the whole area there must be here."A familiar voice yelled, a voice Shino realized belonged to Kurenai.

"K-ba, tha's Kurenaai,"Shino slurred was it him was the small space spinning? It was spinning. Oh god.

Kiba wrenched the door open viciously,"Here! We're here, help! Shino's in trouble, he's injured." Kiba's frantic voice followed by hurried foot steps towards them was the last thing Shino heard before everything went dark.

The ride to their destination was filled with silence and violation of many traffic rules as Itachi drove like a madman, Fugaku sat in the passenger seat impassively but his eyes were menacing, in the back Naruto was seated between Sasuke who held his left hand in a tight grip while Mikoto held his right, close to her breast, like a lifeline; like if they let go Naruto would jump out of the car in order to reach to his best friend faster.

Naruto kept silent as thousand of thoughts ran through his mind, he imagined with dread Kiba hurt, Kiba hurt and unable to call help, Kiba kidnapped and tortured, Kiba calling helplessly for Naruto to help him, for someone to help him; but the worst was Kiba's motionless body on the ground in a pool of his own blood as Naruto begged him to wake up and not leave me him alone.

He took a shuddering breath at that thought, suddenly Fugaku's phone rang and they all held their breaths as he whipped his phone out ,"What happened?" He demanded.

The phone on speaker they could all heard the person the the other line hesitating before replying,"Inuzuka-san and Aburame, both have been recovered successfully, Inuzuka-san is fine while Aburame has suffered some slight grazing from gun firing which caused him to loose a lot of blood, but Inuzuka-san was able to pull him out before they took him out and was able to stop some of the bleeding, right now we have returned to the main house where doctors are now treating Aburame."

Naruto let out a deep breath, Kiba alive and safe.

"Have you located-"

"No sir."

Itachi almost crashed the car into the nearest telephone phone, nearly killing them all,"Are you serious?"

"Itachi."Mikoto said sternly,"We are almost there, drive safely."

"We'll handle this matter personally." Sasuke whispered to his brother who remained silent but his grip on the steering wheel tightened painfully.

Kiba took a breathe of relief when doctors assured him Shino would be fine,"God, when I asked for adventure from my daily desk job this was not what I had in mind." He told no one in particular.

Oh god, Naruto would be inconsolable, Kiba groaned, maybe he should go to sleep and the confrontation, the sobs and declarations of love could be avoided, this is what he get for wanting to eat popsicles when blood thirsty nut jobs are after him.

"They're back."

Kiba considered running back to his room and pretend to be asleep but that would require him to take a bath and change the clothes while he still had glasses man's blood on them, so he waited wrapped up in a blanket they keep putting on him and blood stained scooby-doo pajama bottoms.

As heard the hurried steps he waited as a crying Naruto came running and tackled him to the floor,"KIBA!"

"Oww!Naru, babe calm down!"Kiba consoled the hysterical blond who clung to him like a octopus and refused to let go.

"Fuck you."was his only reply as his best friend refused to let go, Kiba felt his eyes filling with involuntary tears, this is why he hated this, now instead of Naruto in his lap, it was Kiba who tried to cling back to the blond, folding in his arms like a child.

This was the first time someone was shot in front of him. Shot because of him.

He let out a string of curses as he clung to the blond trembling in his lap as Naruto ran his hand soothingly down his back,"Shhh...It's okay, babe, it's okay."

"Fuck, I thought Shino was going to die,"He confessed into Naruto's wet chest,"Hell, I thought I was going to die too; I was out of my mind with the thought that me craving ice cream was the reason we were going to die."

"This is gone far enough."Both jumped at Fugaku's voice, forgetting they had an audience, Kiba's wet eyes met Itachi's, the look on Itachi's face was hard to decipher, but Kiba felt shame and embarrassment crawl up his face he tried to rub of the evidence of his weakness from his face.

"This was fun at first,"Fugaku admitted, Kiba knew the man was a lunatic,"But to go this far, enough is enough."

Fugaku turned to his eldest who looked like he had not blinked since he had laid his eyes on Inuzuka. His expression didn't give anything but he knew his son was trying to hold himself back..

Just friends. Right.

He turned to his youngest who was already looking at him and nodded,"It's time to call Kakashi in."
