Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Here is chapter 2 thank you all for the reviews and sorry for this taking so long but you know, I was actually extremely discouraged after the first chapter and was going to attempt to rewrite it over again but then I decided I would just make the story more to something I could be satisfied with before I posted it.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Beginning of an Addiction

Two weeks before chapter 1

VAVAVAVAV

Two Years ago a mistake was made.

No one really talked about it because the parties involved were making amends for it and because if they talked about it, then they would also remember what that mistake had cost them.

"Sarutobi-sensei….." Tsunade muttered under her breath before sighing.

The wind blew leaves around the memorial before lifting them up to the mountain where the previous Hokage's head had been carved.

Though, even if you didn't talk about it, it was hard to forget.

AVAVAVAVA

Kankuro's expression said it all.

Furrowed brow, pouting lips, a gleam of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and all Temari could do was twitch.

"STOP SULKING!" The blonde shouted as the turned around to bash her brother with her fan.

"I'm not sulking." Kankuro muttered as he dodged the attack, "I just don't see why we keep traveling from one village to another."

"Orders are orders." Temari sighed as she placed her hands on her hip.

Sure, he wasn't sulking, she though with an agitated smirk. Why did she have to be the oldest?

They had already just gotten back from their stay at Konoha, and now were being told that they were going to be heading back to Konoha in some time. And it sounded like it would be a longer stay too.

It wasn't like they didn't like going to the leaf, but they felt that there was something else they could do to help the sand.

Though going to the leaf and helping them out after the attack was probably helping the sand out the most, the two sand-nin were just a tad bit stubborn. Only a littly insy winsy bit.

VAVAVAVAVA

Kiba ran.

Kiba ran fast.

See Kiba run really fast.

"INUZUKA!" The voiced echoed throughout the whole village.

Kiba froze as he felt the hairs on the back of his neck raise up. His gaze stuck on the glare he was receiving from two red eyes.

"Kurenai-sensei…." Kiba smiled before turning a bit.

Kurenai sighed as she grabbed the dog boys sweater. "I know you just got back from one of your chunin missions but," Kurenai's glare deepened, "I believe you can find something better to do then try and sneak into the Hyuuga household to peep on Hinata."

Kiba's face turned red, "I swear that wasn't what I was trying to do!"

Kurenai smirked, "I know I know, you just happened to find yourself in her bathhouse."

Kiba gave a toothy grin. He was just taking a short cut to the Hokage's tower, which happened to be through the Hyuuga grounds.

Kiba had thought about taking a quick stop to see Hinata but decided he would just catch her later. He had just innocently running across the room when he saw something that looked like a hot spring.

Kiba nonchalantly thought went that direction just to see if indeed it was a hotspring not realizing that someone could be in it.

To his surprise Hinata had decided to stand up at the moment with he towel slipping off a little bit. He didn't mean to stare honestly.

If it wasn't for the small fit of wind causing Hinata to look up to get her hair out of her face she probably wouldn't have screamed.

And Neji wouldn't have showed up causing her to scream louder.

And Akamaru wouldn't have had to transform into Kiba's clone so that Kiba could run in another direction.

He was just an innocent bystander, so why did he have to run?

"You're drooling." Kurenai hit Kiba over the head.

AVAVAVAVA

Shikamaru was never one to get in the middle of things unless absolutely needed.

Ino was never one to lose.

Temari was never one to let someone get in her way.

She smirked at the other blond in front of her and look at Shikamaru. "Hey Shikamaru-kun, babysitting are we?"

Ino blushed in anger, "Well I guess someone as old as you would view me as a child, hag."

Not that Temari being three years older than the Ino actually meant she was a hag, but the insult was there.

And the challenge was accepted.

Kankuro just rolled his eyes and grabbed his bag. It was going to be a long trip.

VAVAVAVAVA

Kiba, Neji, and Hinata all stared at the ground as Hiashi and Kurenai sighed.

"Ano…." Hinata blushed as she looked up at her father, "I don't think Kiba would have…"

Kiba shot his head up shaking it furiously.

"How dare you!" Neji glared over at Kiba getting prepared to hit the other teen before Kurenai grabbed his arm glaring at him.

"Ano…."

"Why did you run if you were innocent?" Hiashi gave Kiba a stern look.

"Ano…"

"And get in a fight with that?" Kiba yelled as he pointed at Neji causing the long haired boy to smirk.

"Ano…." Everyone looked over at Hinata as she did a small bow, "I'm sorry to have trouble everyone like this. If you please excuse me."

With that the quiet girl turned around, flipping her longer hair and ran out of the room. Kurenai glared at the guys before following after the girl.

"Its not like she wont be able to get married now…." Kiba sighed before he felt two pairs of eyes glaring at him. "Hinata, wait a bit!" and with that the dog boy followed after his previous sensei.

Geez, Kiba thought as he turned the corner.

Hinata had grown well in the past two years, the dog boy had to admit even though it wasn't helping the small infatuation he had developed for her over the genin years.

"Hinata it's okay." Kiba heard Kurenai talk to the girl.

"I just don't like everyone getting mad at Kiba." Hinata spoke softly. She always spoke softly as if her words were so fragile even the sound of the sun setting could break it.

Kurenai made an agitated sound before she looked over at the door. "Kiba."

Kiba made his way in and gave Hinata a toothy grin. "Gomen ne…. I honestly didn't mean to peep on you but I…"

"Pervert." Kiba jumped in the air at the sudden voice behind him.

"Shino!" Kiba glared, "You're against me too?" Kiba made a hurt face before he heard a small laugh.

"No no" Hinata smiled. "Shino was going to come with me to the gate to see who all has arrived back from their missions today."

"Oh you mean Naruto." Kiba spoke before Kurenai hit him over the head and Hinata blushed.

"Ano, we should be going, no?" Hinata stood up and smiled at Kiba.

Kiba felt his chest hurt again as he watched her walk away with Shino. Even with the Blonde brat being gone she still waited for him?

It hurt more than he thought it would.

"I bet she would be happy if you went with them." Kurenai smiled at her stupid student.

Kiba just nodded before he went after them.

"Hey lets spar afterwards!"

AVAVAVAVAVA

Kankuro frowned at the gates in front of him. They were already back at Konoha.

It almost seemed as if the weather wanted to help him enjoy his stay by starting the rain of bitter joy.

"Ah, Temari you know where to go ne?" Shikamaru glared at the clouds before looking at the older blonde.

"Jan e, Shikamaru-kun." Temari smirked before she turned in another direction and headed towards their new apartment.

Kankuro watch her go before he followed behind remember he should get his tools out of the rain.

The apartment wasn't anything special. Two rooms with individual bathrooms, a kitchent, a hallway, and a living room area.

Temari had already gotten her stuff in the first room making Kankuro click his tongue as he went down the hall to the second room.

Home sweet home.

(In case some of you haven't noticed. This chapter is slowing moving up to chapter one. This part right here is where chapter one finally meets chapter two, so if you don't remember how Kiba got here, then remember it was raining and he wanted to train.)

(the previous not was because my sister didn not understand what was going on)

Kankuro opened the door so see the rain still pouring in the street.

Temari had already left to go out with Shikamaru or something like that. Poor guy, Kankuro thought with a smirk.

The puppeteer stuck his hands in his pockets and walked out remembering to grab his key just in case Temari locked the door on him again.

It was long until he found himself in the training ground. Flat land surrounded by trees in just enough space to have a decent battle.

He smirked a bit before he found a tree that had good enough coverage for him to not have to worry about sitting in mudd. Kankuro took in a deep breath as he watched the threatening clouds move over the ground with malice.

The sand-nin became aware of a distant visitor approaching as he heard the puddles splash. Maybe if he was lucky they would just pass by.

Kankuro turned a bit, not that he was interested but, he stopped as he stared at the familiar figure panting in the rain.

Kiba's hoodie had fallen off his head causing the boys hair to curl and stick to his face because of the moisture. Water dripped down one of the strands and landed on his lip causing the puppeteer to blush as he realized he was staring.

Kankuro couldn't think of why Kiba seemed different to him. They had spent time together every now and then whenever the puppeteer was at the Leaf but for some reason…

Kiba smirked as he stretched up in the rain staring inetently at the clouds.

Kankuro let his breath go as he gazed at Kiba's eyes. Heat slowly rising in his body giving him goosebumps.

"Bark!" Kankuro looked down to see Akamaru at the ground and smirked ignoring where his previous thoughts were going.

"Oi."
