10. Tomato Juice (ShinoKiba... kind of)

Shino could only stare at the stinking mess in front of him, a hand holding his nose closed. If he had been anyone else, he would have been laughing, but he was himself, therefore he was just staring. For the moment, at least.

"Kiba," he paused to take a calming breath, "what happened here?"

With an apologetic grin, Kiba answered, "Well, you see, Akamaru was chasing a skunk and, being the most amazing dog ever, he caught it." He gave the dog a pat on its head. "Unfortunately the damn thing sprayed us both."

"Kiba," Shino started again, still staring at the boy and his dog, "How do you expect to keep our presence hidden from the sound nin?"

The brown haired chunin scoffed. "This is probably better cover than we've ever had before! They won't even think that there are ninja on their tails at all, maybe a homicidal skunk or two, but not a us."

Shino had to admit that Kiba's point was valid, however foul it might be, and he sighed. "Alright. Just, don't sleep too close to me. I think you could kill some of my bugs with that scent."

Kiba broke out laughing at this. "You'll get used to it after a while. I mean, look at me: I use chakra to enhance my sense of smell and this isn't effecting me at all!"

"You're probably lessening you sense of smell," Shino muttered, sitting down on the ground.

Completely ignoring Shino, Kiba continued, "Who knows, maybe I'll just stay like this. The whole having-your-scent-masked-for-eternity thing sounds pretty cool! I could start to raise skunks and annoy them every time I needed to go on a mission! That would be awesome!"

Shino glared at his friend. "No. I would never speak to you again."

"Awww! You're no fun!"

"Fine, I would talk to you, but you'd better watch out. Before you know it, I'll be putting tomato juice into your baths," Shino said, pulling his coat around him a little tighter.

Again, Kiba was laughing. "Jeez, Shino, I thought everyone knew that tomato juice never works!"

I'm sorry for the abrupt ending, but I really don't know what else to write. This is the first time I have ever written a ShinoKiba fic, and I really am not sure as to how they work. Sorry if it is completely wrong.

After writing this, I also found that I think that I could write a KibaHina fic with almost the same circumstances and make it much cuter.
