Ok, ok… It's been forever since I updated, so here ya go! Hope ya likeys!

Kiba and Naruto walked down the main street of Konohagakure. It was dusk, and the blonde had his head resting cutely on the taller boy's shoulder. Walking as such, also with their fingers entwined, they made quite the adorable couple. The residents of the village could hardly fail to notice this, and so the pair elicited several cries of admiration from passers-by as they made their way towards the area in which lived the members of the Inuzuka clan.

As they passed through the main gate, Kiba and Naruto came upon Akamaru, who was waiting for them.

Welcome back, Kiba-kun! said the dog with a grin.

"Eh? You must be Akamaru!" replied the blonde, "Kiba warned me about you."

So, that would make him your precious Naruto, then, right? Damn, nice hips on that one! It's a shame he's not a girl.

"Hey! I resent that!" shouted Naruto.

Kiba nearly fainted.

"You can understand him?"

He can understand me?

"Well, yeah. Why? Can't everyone?"

Usually, no. Ah well… I still think you should be a girl.

"Why you! Ooh, wait. Kiba told me how to deal with you! Take this!" exclaimed Naruto as he launched toward Akamaru. He then launched into a vicious ear-scratching attack.

Mmm… I like this one. Good catch, Kiba!

"Glad you like," said Kiba with a roll of his eyes, "come on, koi! You've got parents to meet."

With that, Kiba grabbed a hold of the blonde's wrist and pulled his mate down the road with him. Fortunately, Naruto managed not to drop the dog he was carrying. None too thrilled with the jostling, Akamaru jumped to his usual spot atop Kiba's head. It wasn't long before the three of them came upon Kiba's sister standing outside the house door.

"Ah! Is this your precious little mate, otouto-chan?" smirked Hana, causing Kiba's face to match its markings for the second time in as many days.

"Howmanytimesdoihavetotellyoutostopcallingmethat?" mumbled the brunette, turning away.

"Um, hello! M-my name is Uzumaki Naruto." The blonde stepped forward and nervously offered the hand Kiba wasn't holding on to for dear life. Ignoring it, Hana began to walk around the frightened boy.

"Yeah yeah, nice to meet you. Mine's Hana. Now, let me get a look at you. My! You've got excellent hips!" Hana traced a finger down the kid's frame. "Are you sure you're not a girl?"

"Um... Yes…" was all Naruto could think of to say as his face took on a tone to match the dog-nin's and he subconsciously took a step toward his mate.

Satisfied, Hana opened the door and walked inside. "Come on in! Kick your shoes off, stay a while!"

The two boys looked at each other, gulped in unison, and entered. Naruto had the distinct feeling that he was entering a wolves' den, about which, in essence, he was correct. Well, he was half correct; it was actually a living room.

Kiba's mother had been sitting in a chair, looking over several scrolls.

"Oka-san! I present to you Lord Kiba, and his mate!" announced Hana, loving the drama of the moment.

Kiba's mother stood and pointed at the blonde. "You! Here! Now!"

"Oh. All right." replied Naruto meekly. With what he hoped was not a last look at his mate, he stepped forward, alone. Much like her daughter had, Mrs. Inuzuka walked around the boy in a circle.

"Well, he's got nice hips, at least. It really is a shame he was born a male. But, who am I to question love? Ah, the innocent! Always tearing down the walls of convention!"

Kiba began to suspect that his mother's dramatic monologue, which sounded more than a little scripted, would continue forever. Fortunately, the elder Inuzuka child decided to interrupt at that moment.

"Master! Dinner is prepared!"

"Ah!" said Mrs. Inuzuka, "Excellent. Given the circumstances, I think formal dress is to be optional."

With that, the group sauntered into the dining room.

"A toast," announced Mr. Inuzuka, who had arrived shortly after dinner began, "to absent friends."

Naruto looked down at his plate. They were having the rarest steaks the blonde had ever seen.

"You're lucky." whispered Kiba with a smile. "I got mom to cook yours."

"Oh, thanks." said Naruto through gritted teeth.

"Well!" said Mrs. Inuzuka. ""Kiba, your father and I have been talking, and we approve. You will move into the empty house across the street. No, you have no say in the matter." she added at Kiba's protesting glance. "We've already sent a team and moved your things in."

"And," added Hana, "I've added a little something to celebrate your glorious union." And for once, she spoke with no sarcasm.

With the awkwardness broken, the rest of the evening was highly enjoyable. There was much joking and laughter, and after dinner they played charades. Charades, by the way, is a much, much more fun game when you incorporate the use of genjutsu. After everyone had become tired, the two boys took their leave, walking across the street to their new home.

It was a small house, with only three rooms in its two stories.

"Wow!" remarked the blonde. "This is really nice!"

"I gotta say, I agree. Looks like we've got a living room and a kitchen." A kitchen with a dog bed. added Kiba in his mind, appreciating the fact that Akamaru wouldn't be around for some of his more… intimate moments with his mate."

"So the bedroom must be upstairs. Let's check it out. I'm tired."

"Okay, okay" replied the brunette before shooting Akamaru a glance that clearly said Stay down here tonight.

Upstairs, they found a large bedroom with an adjoining bath. However, the biggest surprise was sitting near the far wall.

"No way."

"I'm gonna kill her."

Kiba's sister had added a large canopy bed with satin curtains and frilly sheets, surrounded by burning, chocolate-scented candles.

Oh yeah! That bed idea came to me in a dream! And to anyone who gets my not-so subtle reference… I LOVE YOU!!!

Remember, reviews make the Angel happy, and happy Angel means more chappys.

Also.. I'm announcing a poll! Should I have a graphic scene somewhere? Not smut, just graphic.
