Chapter 2: What am I supposed to say?

Well, to say Kiba was relieved that the mission was over would be a major understatement. He was almost jumping for joy when he found out the cat had managed to find it's way home. On the walk back home, Kiba thought over the talk he and Shino had had the other night. It had been awkward, yet a surprisingly short conversation.

FLASHBACK

"So, you ready to tell me whats been going on with you yet?" Shino said monotonously

Kiba started to fidget at this point. "Well…um…do you know anything about dogs?"

Shino was alittle annoyed that Kiba wouldn't get to the point, but decided to go along with it anyways. "Yeah, I know stuff about dogs. One thing I know about dogs is that at a certain point in their lives they go into heat."

He said so plainly, Kiba couldn't help but laugh. "Hehe…yeah. That's sorta what I wanted to talk about. Uh, you know the Inuzuka clan, we have dog senses, right?"

Shino replied simply "Yes."

"Well…that's not the only thing we share with dogs. I only found out a few days before the mission that we also go into heat at acertain age."

"Alright. Are you gonna try to keep it secret?"

"YES!! I'm not gonna go around tellin' people I'm in heat!" Kiba almost yelled it out before covering his mouth.

" sigh…that's not what I meant. I meant are you gonna tell Naruto."

"Wh…why w-would I tell h-him?…" Kiba started blushing madly at this point.

"Lets get some sleep." With that, Shino turned out their light and And turned over. "Oh, and try not to say his name in your sleep again, okay?"

END FLASHBACK

Kiba almost started blushing at remembering that last part. Well, at least he knew he could trust Shino.
