"Why would you?" a voice spoke behind him. Kiba just kept quiet as he continued looking at the dead man. Closing his eyes again, the man in his arms broke apart into thousands of black beetles. It caught him off guard as they flew past him into the man standing behind. He turned to see Shino standing there. Kiba's toothy grin came over this face as he jumped from his place to run to the man for a hug.

Everyone was watching this crazed man hug another in the midst of the ruined building making Shino pause. He thought of what they'd say but the sobbing man holding onto his large green coat made his mind change. He didn't worry about they'd say, he only worried about what would happen if he let this slip away. He draped his long arms over the fuzzy coat of Kiba and hugged him. Hinata stood in the crowd and stepped forward holding Himwari's hand.

"Shino, Kiba."

They turned to look at her. She couldn't help but to smile at the two. She knew too well that Kiba forced himself to like women, and she knew that Shino loved her and Kiba. But now she was happy they found their way to each other. She had come to get her daughter jut before the classes let out but she was glad to have made it there as the two stood there. Kiba wiped his wet cheeks with the back of his hand and smiled at her as well.

Shino contemplated on what he was going to say to Kiba, he wanted to continue that dinner he had planned many days ago.

"Kiba?" His deep quiet voice broke the silence of smiles. Hinata gave a giggle holding onto her daughter's hand as she walked away to give the two room.

"Would you like to eat with me? Because-"

"I'd love to." Kiba broke out of the hug as other school professionals came to Shino. "Guess I should let you finish up with work, huh?"

Shino gave him a nod and turned back to Iruka who came out holding his one piece of the favourite items from his office. Kiba knew Shino would have to explain alot about the destruction of the school that was so close to being completed. Kiba gave one more turn around to see Shino looking at him through the crowd. Kiba set off towards his home to get cleaned up and change his outfit for something more classy for his classy date.

First he had to visit Akamaru. He came closer to his home and kept running to the backyard. There the under kept grave marker stood.

I'm sorry Akamaru. I shouldn't have left... Kiba crouched next to the stone. Guess what? I got a date with Shino... Guess you were right the whole time, Akamaru. Kiba stood up and placed a hand on the grave. Once Akamaru left his life at his side, Shino seemed to have taken his place. Kiba couldn't help to smile as he gave a kiss to the stone like he would if Akamaru were alive.

Kiba took his leave and went into his house, thankfully, now a shower was in every home, well almost every home. Shino didn't have away to wash up, aside from the pond outside. Fact Kiba didn't know how Shino did get clean, he must go to the bathhouse like they used to as kids. Kiba laughed at remembering the times they'd go to the hot springs and all the bugs would come out of Shino's body.

Kiba grabbed new everything and the attire he wore once. The blue jacket with white trim. It was his for the wedding. The pink headband that went with it.

"Hell with it." He grabbed the entire outfit from the wedding, chains and all. It was the only nice outfit he had. He tossed them to the floor and turned the shower on. The thoughts of ramen with Shino turned to a more shady side. Sex with Shino will be new... Kiba thought and entered the hot water. It flattened his hair as he stood thinking of it.

At least he doesn't have bugs all over him. Kiba grabbed the bar of soap and washed. I bet he's still toned...Kiba thought and dropped his bar, he had to bend to get it. He felt his own as he bent jab into his stomach.

"Damn it, Shino. Even from a distance you can turn me on..." Kiba said picking the bar up. He thought more of the after events if Shino wanted to do that. Kiba figured Shino may initiate the act, maybe I should just touch him instead of take him... Hell I wouldn't mind being taken by him instead.

"As long as he doesn't have a larvae stuck to him there again." Kiba couldn't help but to speak aloud like he used to with Akamaru, he still couldn't get over the loss of his companion.

I have to get these thoughts out of my mind! Kiba didn't want to scare the man he'd hurt before again by forcing him to have sex.

Ah forget it, I can't fight this he thought and reached down to grab himself. He knew he wasn't the biggest but it still got the job done, he could still see the size of Shino's the last time they went to the bathhouse, it had been over 10 years though.

He gave himself a little squeeze and shut his eyes. He couldn't do this standing, he could fall over. So he came to sit on the warm tile of the shower floor with the water cascading onto him.

OoOo

Shio had finished his paper work he had to fill out after his stunt with his Summoning jutsu went a little out of hand. He left his desk just in time for dinner. He was starved, not just for food but starved for Kiba's lips again.

He didn't want to miss any second of hanging out with Kiba, so he turned his papers to Anko and left the building.

The sun gave an orange glow to all the buildings in it's light. He walked down the dirt street once more to Kiba's house. He figured he'd meet Kiba there and they'd like go eat. He would have liked to have his different eye cover on but there was no time.

He passed the closing shops of sweets and gifts. He didn't bring any money, he was hoping Kiba would have enough to eat out. He gently scratched the back of his head to avoid upsetting his hair. It took too long for him to bun his hair up everyday to mess it up.

His face lit up with the approach of the home, the grass grew taller since he'd been there. He gave a smile, at times Kiba could forget the rest of the world at times. Shino knocked on the door loudly. A rummaging happened on the other side and the door sung open . And there he was, Shino smiled making the shorter now cleaner man smile too.

"I see you shaved a little." Shino joshed as Kiba couldn't help but to blush. He knew he wasn't acting like he normally did but it was the side no one ever saw.

"Yeah, well I thought I needed a little change." it was shaved clean. He only grew his face out to make Tamaki happy, but now that she was gone he needed to forget the past.

They stood there for a time laughing at times. But Kiba broke the silence, "Want to get something to eat?" He brushed his hair back even though it was already brushed back. Shino gave a nod and Kiba shut his door and the two went off into town.

"Kiba." the taller man spoke just minutes after leaving the house. "Our families must not know of us."

"wha-why?" Kiba stopped putting hands out to stop the man.

"If my clan hears that I am... Not able to produce an heir they'd-"

"woah, they'd actually kick you out?" Kiba asked and started walking again. He saw a nod and felt bad. He wanted to let everyone know he was with Shino, the man he loves but he'd have to keep it swept under the rug. He knew the Aburame would gather on them like ants and pick them apart piece by piece.

They had made it to town, Kiba didn't know what he was hungry for, he was practically hungry for anything after getting off in the shower while thinking about none other but Shino Aburame.

Shino seemed to be going to a place he wanted, which was easier for Kiba. He stopped at the ramen shop, Kiba smiled. Of course he thought. He came to the usual table they sat in. The sign that said the specials off on food, Shino accidentally kicked the sign down making all the patrons eating to snap their heads at the two. Shino gave a nervous laugh while picking the sign up while Kiba beamed with pride at Shino.

They sat down in their chairs and a girl came to ask for what they wanted. They got two bowls of Miso ramen with ham and eggs.

They waited patiently. "Hey Shino. Look, um, I'm sorry. I...I messed up a lot. And I fucked up so badly. I didn't mean to hit you, I just didn't know what I wanted." the conversation was halted by two bowls of food being brought to the table.

"And, Shino, I have to ask. Why me?" the taller man looked down, the steam went up to the visor and fogged up the outer glass.

"I just knew. I knew what kind of a person you were deep down. We are right for each other. Why? Because we give the other what we need. You acknowledge me and in turn I treat you with kindness. You give me that as well, but you need it more than I."

"Ah, Shino...I don't know what to say."

"Plus, you do have a fine-"

"you got a fine ass as well, Shino. If that's what you were going to say." Kiba gave a wink and started to chow his food down. Shino gave a smile and waited for his cool down until he ate.

"Heck, I didn't think a guy like you would like a guy like me." Kiba said between swallows of food. All he got was a smile from the man opposite.

"Hey Shino, why do you wear that thing?" Kiba aksed taking a drink while nudging towards the visor. He saw him stop and think for minute.

"Why you ask, because-"

"Hey, there you are!" both men turned to see Konohamaru walking down to them from the end of the street. His students not too far behind him.

"who's this guy?" Kiba asked as Shino stood from his chair.

"Konohamaru Sensei, is there and issue?" Shino asked making Kiba look at the man, it certainly didn't look like Konohamaru anymore. He grew into his scarf.

"I just wanted to apologise for not filling the proper paperwork to have myself show the class a Summoning. Next time, I'll let you handle that." Konohamaru smiled and gave a thumbs up to Shino, who now stood dumbfounded. He gave a wave as Shino sat back down in his chair.

"Wait... You can summon?" Kiba spoke louder than usual but his excitement got the best of him.

"I can. But you can summon too."

"I can? You think."

"That's not what I meant, Kiba." and a devious smile came over the taller and usually more contained man. Kiba thought for a moment and realised Shino was talking of something in a sexual manner. He liked that Shino was secretly the hornier one out of the two. Kiba could make innuendos but Shino seemed he was harbouring pent up sexual feelings and he may take them out on Kiba in a good way. Which to the shorter man he didn't care. He liked to have that one day.

The two ate their ramen, "After this...would you like to come to my house?" Shino asked while taking a bite from the ham.

"If you're Inviting me, then I can't refuse."

"Good." Shino replied and smiled as he took a larger bite from the meat.

Only one more chapter to go (I had fun with this one) , plus the M stuff next chapter too. Oh I sure am going to miss doing the stories of these two. But I may continue in a new adventure or choose a new couple. I do have one in mind.

Tell me what you guys think of the story thus far. RR
