Hey! This is chapter 3! Yay~ I know it's been a while since I worked on this story, so I will work on it now! So, let's get going, ne? Welcome back to The Unusual Betrothal!~

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The next day went too quickly for Kiba's taste. His breakfast and training went by too fast. He went out with his teammates and the other Rookie 9 as well, this time just to walk around. He would have to tell them about the time change, and how it's likely they wouldn't be able to come support him in the meeting.

"Hey," he said, turning to the others, "The time of the meeting has been moved to this afternoon. His family has made good time. They also want us to meet in private. It looks like you can't come, after all." He looked around to see everyone nodding. He bowed his head and ruffled his hair. "Anyway… I should probably get going. I don't want to be late, mom will kill me if I'm late to meet this guy." He waved goodbye and parted ways with his friends, then headed to his house.

When he got there, it was relatively quiet, save for the cooking his mom was doing in the kitchen. Good, that meant he wasn't here, yet. "Mom!" he said as he walked in the living room, "I'm home!" He placed Akamaru on the couch, petting the small dog as his mom came into the room.

"Good," she said with a smile, "They'll be here soon. Why don't you go wash up, Kiba? I'm sure you had a hard day." She then went back into the kitchen. She smiled and Kiba heard her add, "Don't take too long. You don't want to keep your fiancé waiting."

Kiba stiffed. It was in that moment it finally hit him, even harder than before. This boy was his fiancé. The person he was gong to marry. He walked upstairs to wash up, attempting to ignore the raising warmth in his face. 'Fiancé, fiancé, fiancé,' was all that was running through his mind. He was going to marry this… boy… He splashed as much warm water on his face as possible, trying to make the red in his face look like using water that was too hot when he washed up.

He came downstairs much more composed then when he came up. However, that practically melted when he saw who was there. His gaze automatically turned to a little blond-haired boy with blue eyes sitting next to a woman with the same hair and eye color. Kiba turned a bright red.

Kiba's fiancé was definitely not what he expected. He had shoulder-length, bright blond hair and bright baby-blue eyes. Kiba could tell he was timid right away by the way he held himself. Having someone like Hinata on his team helped Kiba know how to pinpoint that. From the stairs, the boy looked almost like a doll. He was slender, with porcelain pale skin.

Kiba's face automatically turned several shades of red. This was his fiancé? He couldn't tear his gaze away as he walked downstairs. 'Mom made a serious understatement when she called him cute,' Kiba thought, feeling the blush dominating his features. It got worse when he actually got close to the boy. He noticed the boy's eyes were actually an unnoticeable mix of baby blue and a light green. He automatically turned his head when he noticed he was staring right into the boy's eyes, however.

"Ah, Kiba!" Kiba's mother said with a smile, "I'm sure you've already determined who this is." She smiled and pat the little blond boy on his head, "This is your fiancé, Miko." She smiled as the boy ducked behind her, already several shades of red Kiba didn't even know existed. "I told you he was cute! "

Kiba staved off the urge to tell his mother how much of an understatement the word cute was for this boy, but thought better of it. "A doll," he said, matter-of-factly as he looked over to the boy. It was only after he had finally realized what he said, and how his mother was grinning from ear to ear that he turned a slight shade of pink.

"Anyway," his mother said, "Miko has come to discuss some details of the engagement." She smiled, "Let's hear what he has to say." She looked towards Miko, who finally stepped from behind her, his bright reds finally controlled down to a light pink. "A-ano, Kiba-kun…" he said, fidgeting, "I was.. Well…. You see, here's what I want t-to happen during the engagement." He paused a little, fidgeting again before continuing, "Y-you don't have to accept, these are just s-small terms." he paused again, "I… I w-want to stay h-here with you during the engagement," Kiba then turned from pink to red, "I w-would like t-to share a room with y-you… if you'd let me," Kiba's red escalated, "a-and finally, K-Kiba-kun… I want to, erm, s-seal the engagement w-with a k-k-k-k-kiss…" At that, Miko turned a bright red, and ducked behind a taller, brown-haired boy Kiba took to most likely be his older brother.

Kiba turned a bright red, himself. He would be living in the same house, and sharing the same room, as Miko? He would never be able to keep himself composed. 'W-well… we are getting married,' he thought. That was true. He could just thing of the engagement as a sort of 'practice' to get ready for being married to Miko. After thinking that, Kiba nodded. How bad could that be? However, his face turned a slight shade of red as Miko walked up to him and clung onto the sleeve of his jacket. 'C-c-c-c-cute… cute.. T-too cute…' he thought, trying to keep himself from blushing.

"O-okay, then," Miko said, blushing, "Sh-sh-sh-sh-shall we s-seal the e-e-e-engagement, then?" He turned a bright shade of red, along with Kiba, whom had forgotten that little bit, but nodded all the same. Miko fidgeted a little before getting on his tip-toes(he was little, too) to grab around Kiba's neck.

Due to Miko's slight hesitation, it was Kiba whom had gently laid the kiss on his fiancé's lips, still turning a bright shade of red. Kiba turned a slight red when the kiss finished. Even Miko's kisses were feminine. Kiba couldn't believe that he had just let this happen. It's not like he had a choice in the matter, but still. He could have resisted a little. That blond-haired, blue-eyed little boy was going to have Kiba wrapped around his little finger at this point.

Kiba's mom smiled. "Well," she said, "it's official, now. Congratulations, Kiba, Miko, you two are now officially engaged!" She pat both Kiba, and Miko(who was currently clinging behind Kiba), then turned to the others with a smile.

'Officially..' Kiba felt a blush rise to his face as he thought of that. He was now engaged to Miko. This was something he wasn't really expecting. This was… unusual, to say the least.
