Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Warning: Contains MILD boy/boy action and will hopefully rise in rating the more the story goes.

This is chapter 3, thanks to all those you reviewed for the last chapter. It helped me write this one which I actually think is the best so far. The story had a rough start but this chapter has shown me that I can actually feel good about something I write.

I hope you Enjoy!

UUUUUUUUUUUU

Chapter 3: Why?

UUUUUUUUUUUU

Kiba traced his lips with his finger as he stared at the ground. The rocks along the road seemed to have known he was coming and piled up along his path causing him to kick the pebbles farther down the path.

Akamaru whimpered lightly as he frowned, walking beside his obviously distraught master worried the poor dog.

The weather was hot and muggy, a sudden change from the cool rain it been giving out earlier that week. But that was to be expected by early fall weather. It had only been a week since Kiba had last seen Kankuro and yet he could think of nothing but the incident.

"Kiba-kun…..ano…" Kiba's head lifted as if suddenly realizing he wasn't the only on the path. Hinata gave him a worried look as she patted the waist size Akamaru, "Is there something wrong?"

Kiba blinked as he felt a sudden refreshing breeze fill the air causing Hinata to catch her hair from falling across her face. Kiba's short hair moving slightly before he ran the hand he had just had on his mouth through his hair.

"Something wrong?" Kiba let out a scoff as he smiled proudly showing his canines, "With me? Hinata I thought you knew me better than that."

"Hai." Hinata smiled as they continued walking.

"Geez Shino you too?" Kiba glared at the other teammate.

"…………" Shino just continued walking not even bothering entering the conversation causing Hinata to giggle.

Kankuro had ended up leaving him in the restroom naked and frozen. The puppeteer had, Kiba was sure, kissed him and then left him. Kankuro had even gone as far as leaving the apartment so that after Kiba had gotten out of the shower there was no way the dog boy could find the sand-nin.

"Kiba, what happened to your sweater?" Hinata asked her teammate as the Dog boy looked down at his cloths as if this is the first time he had considered what he was wearing this day.

He had left the hoodie lying on the floor of his room for the past week. Every time he saw it, the sweater would remind him of what happened the last day he wore it. Eventually Kiba just figured he would forget it all about it but until then he traded his genin outfit out for more black.

"WELL HINATA!" Kiba jumped in front of her as if to emphasize his point, "We are chunin now are we not?"

The girl just nodded waiting for an explanation.

"And as chunin we can not wear the same thing we wore in our school days." Kiba place his had on his hip and used the other to ruffle Akamaru's fur. "Isn't that right?"

Akamaru let out a happy bark.

Hinata just smiled as she continued walking.

UUUUUUUUUUUU

Asuma moved his cigarette from one side of his mouth to the other as he tiredly stared at his nephew in front of him. Konohamaru was apparently hiding from someone in such an obvious manner that the jounin wanted to go out there and hit the kid.

Konohamaru hadn't changed much in the time since Naruto had left. Maybe gotten a little taller but, Asuma took a death breath causing his cigarette to burn mildly quicker; the brat still had a lot of things to learn.

As for Konohamaru, he was scared.

Kankuro had been spotted around the village and Konohamaru knew that with his luck he would run into the sand-nin.

"Che." Slipped out of the little genins mouth before he moved from his current hiding spot. Why should he be afraid?

It's not like the sand-nin had tried any sort of bullying since the attack, and he had seen Kankuro around the village. Why should he think that Kankuro would be out to get him? It's not like the sand-nin would even remember who he was.

The last though somehow pissed Konohamaru off causing the genin to stomp off in the middle of the street not really paying attention.

Asuma almost felt like saying something but instead just watched as his nephew bumped into another ninja. Stupid brat.

"Ah! Gomen-na………" Konohamaru looked up and saw make-up. Different design but the same face was under it.

Kankuro looked down at the kid who had bumped into him and his frown deepened.

"You little brat." Kankuro spoke sharply as he reached for Konohamaru, who in returned turned tail and ran, the puppeteers hand only millimeters from the boys clothing before the boy was gone.

"Che." Kankuro formed his hand into a fist and glared at the general direction the kid had run off. If he had really cared he would have followed the brat and made him pay but since he didn't, the brat got another day to live.

Asuma just smirked, yawning a bit just as a breeze came in knocking his cigarette out of his mouth.

The jounin blinked as he watched his tobacco stick roll on the ground and frowned. He assumed that meant it was the end of his break and stood up, placing a tooth pick in his mouth and patted the back of his pants off.

Maybe he should go bother Shikamaru.

UUUUUUUUUUUU

"Kiba……ano…..gomen, but I can never return your feelings." Kiba eyes shot open as he stared at two blue orbs smiling down at him.

"You dirty bit-" Ino laughed as she dodged Kiba's punch rolling back into a standing stance while the dog boy jumped up from the ground he and Akamaru had just been laying on.

"My, my Kiba-kun. Watch your mouth in the presence of a lady." Ino smirked raising her hand slightly under her mouth before giving off her obnoxious laughter.

"I'm sure he would if there was one present." Came a deep voice walking up the hill causing Ino to frown.

"You piece of crap! Who asked for your opinion?" Ino yelled causing her face to flush.

Kankuro didn't even bother looking at her as he passed the now seething blonde. "Oi, I was looking for you."

"I was on an important mission." Kiba said almost braggingly. His teeth showing a little out of the grin.

Ino sighed, "Whatever! You were just escorting some brat to the village over." She folded her arms and was about to say something when she noticed both teens walking away from her as if she didn't say anything.

"Awwww." Ino's brow twitched at the familiarity of that voice. "Does little Ino-chan feel neglected?"

"What do you want?" Ino glared at Temari as the blonde jumped from the fan she was riding on.

UUUUUUUUUUUU

"HA! Told you so!" Kiba jumped on the sofa in his parents living room throwing his hands up in the hair and then bring them down, moving both arms in a circular motion as if he was doing some sort of cheesy victory dance.

Kankuro growled under his breath as he looked at the checker board. How did he lose to such an idiot in such a simple game?

Akamaru let out a happy bark before the over sized dog stood up and put its feet on the edge of the couch. Kankuro reached over to punch the jumping chunin when suddenly he felt like he was being pushed back.

A small whimper and a few seconds later caused both boys to realize Akamaru's weight had caused the couch to fall over and topple both the boys to the floor. Kiba was now on all fours laughing.

Kankuro glared as he rolled off his stomach and hit the dog boy.

"Piece of-" Kiba launched toward the puppeteer slamming the older teen to the ground before he felt pressure on his stomach realizing Kankuro was going to kick him off.

Kiba hit the wall with a hard thud knocking down one of the pictures that his mom had long decided to never frame since the accidents seemed to always happen in the house whenever her son was home. It seemed as quick Kiba had hit the wall Kankuro had pressed his arm on the smaller teens neck halting the Leaf chunins movements altogether.

"Aka-" Kankuro pressed harder stopping Kiba from calling his pet as the sand-nin heard the dog bark and leave the room.

"Traitor………." Kiba muttered as he saw his best friends disappearing form into the next room.

"He probably thinks you can handle yourself." Kankuro stated while pushing his arm up the wall dragging Kiba's body with it, causing the Leaf-nin to stand on his toes. "I don't know why since you obviously lost."

And that was when Kiba did the only thing he could out of desperation. Normally he wouldn't resort to this to such a good friend and all……then again it was Kankuro.

Kankuro watched in slow motion as Kiba struggled enough so that the dog boy could bite down on the puppeteers arm. It took him a few seconds to realize that the teeth were actually sinking into his skin before he moved his arm just enough that Kiba was able to use the wall for support and push himself on top of the puppeteer sending them both to the floor.

Kiba managed to straddle Kankuro's waist and pin the teen's arms down before he grinned wickedly.

"Ha!"

Kankuro just smirked before shifting his weight, catching Kiba off guard and switching the roles.

"I believe that 'ha' of yours was too soon." Kankuro stated matter of factly as he lean forward at Kiba.

"That's what you think! I'm just getting started!" Kiba declared as he tried to move his arms.

Kankuro sighed as he watched the dog boy wiggle under him. Letting one of Kiba's arms go he proceeded to flick Kiba in the forehead aggravating the younger teen more.

Kiba bit his lip as he managed to get his other arm beneath him, now only to push the floor and himself up he would be free. With sudden movement Kiba made the push not realizing that at the second Kankuro had shifted wait causing him to hit their heads together.

"Itie……" Kiba whimpered as he sat up before he felt a hand on the back of his head. He looked up to find himself pulled into a kiss with Kankuro.

It was just as quick as the first one but Kiba reacted quicker this time. With a quick leg movement he attempted to kick Kankuro in the side only to be surprised when the sand-nin caught it.

They both sat there in awkward silence before Kankuro finally looked Kiba in the eyes.

"I don't know." As if he was answering an unsaid question.

Kiba loosened up a bit and mouthed the same thing Kankuro had just said before he found Kankuro was once again attached to him.

This time it was longer, Kiba could feel force behind it and could actually taste something he knew wasn't his own. The dog boy's arms suddenly finding Kankuro's shoulders as he leaned forward into it.

It was different.

Kiba felt something against his lips.

It was weird.

Kankuro's hand found itself at Kiba's black vest, tugging at it. When the leaf-nin felt a cold hand move through the lose material and reach his skin suddenly he felt like something was wrong. His hands pushed Kankuro's shoulders causing the puppeteer to press his lips harder causing Kiba to gasp a bit at the small pain he received when Kankuro's other hand pushed him against the wall roughly.

If it wasn't for the sudden movement in the room next to them Kiba was sure Kankuro wouldn't have stopped.

Both boys separated panting and scooting away from each other as if both we the victims of the other's attacks.

"Kiba." A deep voice spoke from outside the entrance to the dog boy's house. Shino had said something about meeting up later.

Both parties still breathing slightly faster than normal stood, ignoring there flush faces as Kiba headed for the door. As he grabbed the handle he turned to say something but realized Kankuro was gone.

"Kiba?" Shino muttered again, slightly annoyed his friend still hadn't opened the door.

"Oh, yeah, HEY!" Kiba attempted a smile at his friend while Shino gave him a doubting look.

UUUUUUUUUUUU

If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them since I am always listening for some good advice.

Though don't ask for certain pairings in the side characters, I already have an idea of what I want going on in the background.

Please Review!

Have a nice weekend!
