A/N: Hi, welcome to my second story. The idea for this one came from me listening to a song called Figure You Out by Nickleback. That first sentence is always gonna be there for my props to Nickleback... get used to it!

Here you guys go! Buh-bai.

Figure You Out

It didn't take very long. There had been nothing good on T.V. All the dogs were busy running around outside to care much. Kankuro hadn't done this in a long time and Kiba was, of course game. They both strolled back to Kiba's room, side-by-side. Akamaru sat in the den, waiting for them to return. When they reached the room, Kankuro glanced over at the Inuzuka.

"You know, I'm pretty rough. I won't go easy because it's our first time."

Kiba's lip curled into a half playful, half intimidating grin. "I wouldn't expect you to."

It didn't take two minutes before they were both outside, ready to spar. Kankuro quickly summoned Karasu; Akamaru crouched low to the ground while Kiba drew out a kunai. Weapons, Jutsu, food pills, it was an anything goes match. Just no killing.

Right off Kiba charged, feeling out how his opponent would react. Kankuro jumped back, sending Karasu to do the real fighting. Kiba made for the puppet while Akamaru leaped up and bit down on the Suna Nin's forearm sharply. Yelping in pain, Kankuro dropped Karasu to pry off the dog. He wasn't really trying to cause too much harm, but the bite was slowly leaking out blood and hurting like hell. Kankuro flicked the dog's nose as Kiba came up and tackled him off the tree and to the ground.

They landed with a soft grunt and a lot of dirt and dust. Kiba was about to claim a point as he readied his kunai at the older man's throat, only to be flipped on his back. Going to his first instinct, he bit something, which was the dark-haired man's left hand. Now one whole arm was out of commission. Kankuro loosened his grip and was flipped over. He quickly retaliated by swiftly sending a kick into the Inuzuka's stomach.

Said boy went flying several feet before Akamru caught him. A fraction of a second after he landed Karasu was flying full speed at him. Both jumped and landed on the roof of the house. From below them they could make out a scowl aimed at them from their opponent. THe team grinned and hopped down, Kiba making a "T" shape with his hands.

"Okay, I think that's enough. I really don't need to get your brother out to kill me." he chuckled to himself as Kankuro drew even with them.

The older man rolled his eyes. Glancing down at his wounds, he saw that stopping was the right thing to do, both bite marks were bleeding fairly decent amounts of blood and didn't show signs of slowing up on their own. So, the trio made their way back towards the house.

They sat in the living room while Kiba patched up the cuts his and Akamaru's teeth had caused. It didn't take long and as Kiba was cleaning up Kankuro had time to think.

There couldn't be too many girls around the area with sun-yellow hari and sky blue eyes like Koinu's friend had had. And if he ever saw her again, he'd know for sure. Also, while he had been asking questions his 'host' had been acting very odd, so had the dog come to think of it. Not to mention the blushing when ever he got close. He thought back to the lunch at the Dango Shop, Naruto's knowing smile, Kiba's reaction to being just inches from his face. But how would he pull off turning into a girl? As far as he knew, there was no jutsu that could work so efficiently. But, no sex? Maybe it wasn't as efficient as he had been thinking.

"Oi, what's with the spaced out look?" Kiba was standing over him, hands on hips, and a concerned look on his face.

Figuring that it'd be pointless to beat around the bush he came right out with it. "Do you know of a Jutsu that can change someone's gender, though maybe not flawlessly?"

The dog-nin's face fell. His eyes got wide and his jaw dropped. And there was that pink blush, creeping over his features. He began to stutter and not one word could be made out. The questioned boy took a step back, tripping over a chew toy. Kankuro laughed as he stood up and peered down at his temporary roommate.

"Well, I'm waiting for an answer." he said, smirking.

"N-no, why w-would I?" he answered weakly.

Obviously not convinced Kankuro squatted down next to the fallen Inuzuka. "Really? Then why so nervous?" Kiba didn't have an answer for that. Nor did he have any explanation for what happened next. Kankuro stated quickly, "Then I'll get my own answer." Then, without hesitation or further thought, he kissed Kiba, slipping his hand behind the smaller man's head. He couldn't help himself, it was just like when they kissed when he played the role of Koinu. He flung his arms around his broad shoulders and pulled him in slightly. Surprised, but triumphant, the Sand Shinobi deepened the kiss. Their tongue recited a familiar dance that started of a clash of tongues and ended with Kiba mimicking the other's movements, lightly sucking his lip occasionally. Finally, they separated. Kiba was instantly hit with a huge wave of guilt, embarrassment, and shame.

If Kankuro didn't kill him, Naruto would.

He began to hit himself on the forehead repeatedly. "Baka, baka, baka!" He then fell backwards so he was on his back. Kankuro stood and grinned jubilantly at his new resolution. 'Stupid, hot-ass jerk.'

"Well, you need to learn how to act better," he peered down at Kiba's red face, which was scowling up at him, "Koinu."

Kiba lifted his head slightly just to allow it to fall back to the floor. He'd been found out, meaning Naruto was close behind if not already. Their plan, ruined. Plus, now Kiba had to deal with Kankuro who knew just what Kiba had been doing at that club, seeing as it was to him they were being done. Without a word he plopped down to sit next to the younger, currently inwardly tortured boy. There were still some questions that needed answering. Getting right to the point would be no fun, so joking and entertainment at other's expenses it was.

"Koinu," Kiba instinctively glanced his way. Kankuro smiled at this. Blushing Kiba's face shot to the other side. "You have no creativity, you know."

"Nani?" Kiba was now sitting up and glaring at the man beside him.

"It means puppy, ne?" he peeked over at Akamaru who was facing the other way. "Now that I know it's you, there really wasn't much thought behind it was there?"

"Tojikomeru(1)! It was last minute!" he puffed up one cheek in annoyance.

Alright, alright." He waved a hand up and down. "But a strip club? Danshingu Taiga(2), no less? You really were strapped for cash huh?"

He grinned mockingly. Kiba simply glared his fluttering little heart out. The teasing continued until Kankuro got bored and decided to get to the point.

First question, the one he'd been wondering ever since the kiss. "Tell me something," he said casually. "Do you like me?" A beet red blush and he had his answer. He leaned in closer, so that Kiba could feel his hot breath on his face. "How much do you like me?"

He gulped and answered in a shaky voice he tried to make strong, "I think you know already."

He slowly grew closer to the shaken Dog-ninja. "I'm not quite positive I know the extent of you attraction. Mind complying with that last request I asked?" Kiba almost blacked out upon realizing just where this was going.

TBC...

Sorry to say but the next chapter is the last... short story, I know, but that's what it was intended to be.
