Sick

"What do you mean Yamanaka is dead!?" Danzo yelled out in outrage. Kiba flinched at his anger, but resigned nonetheless.

"She committed suicide on the mission, and she used a poison that has no cure, so she couldn't be saved." Kiba had shed many tears when Ino killed herself, especially since he had started to have special feelings for her. At first, he liked Hinata, but now he doesn't even know her.

of circling,

He kept going back and forth between his feelings for Hinata, and his feelings for Ino.

The same road.

But he was always with Hinata, and no matter what, he will always be with her, whether he had a choice or not.

And sick

'I can't do it anymore.' Kiba was reaching his limit.

of bearing,

"I'll give you one last chance." Kiba looked up in a flash at hearing Danzo's word. "This is only because we're running low on ninja that specialize with," Danzo gave a disgusted snort toward Akamaru outside his window before continuing, "dogs."

Kiba immediately bowed his head in thankfulness. "Thank you lord Hokage-sama."

The guilt.

"The pink kunoichi's escape and Yamanaka's death is of course hanging over your head, so I expect you to redeem yourself."

So open,

"Go now," Danzo demanded. "Hyuuga is coming and you need to track down the scum of the former seven." Kiba quickly bowed and disappeared out the window.

The windows
To cool off!

'I hate that motha fucker,' Kiba thought bitterly.

And hate,
pours in
Instead!

Akamaru growled underneath him in agreement. He always hated Danzo, ever since when he was a puppy; he has just wanted to rip his throat out. 'I hope Naruto's okay,' thought Akamaru.

Perfect in weakness

Kiba let his claws elongate at Akamaru's thought of Naruto. 'Don't bring him up.'

I'm only
perfect
in just your strength alone.

'Alright Kiba. I understand.' Akamaru put his eyes back forward. 'The smell is a little scarce, but I can track them.'

All,
my efforts
to clean me,

Kiba patted Akamaru on the side. "Atta boy. Go at top speed so as to catch them." Akamaru didn't want to. He wanted them to get away, but he has to for the loyalty to Kiba is above all else.

Leave me

'Kiba?' Kiba looked down slightly at Akamaru.

"Hm?" Akamaru debated with himself about whether or not he should ask, but Kiba was never a patient person. "Come on boy? What's wrong?"

'Do ever think about leaving Konoha?'

Putrid and filthy.

"No." Kiba's voice was low and in a growl, but against Akamaru's better judgment, he pushed on.

'Why?'

And how?

Kiba's claws started to elongate and his canines grew sharp. "Just shut up and move."

'They already started moving again, but why won't you answer me?'

Can you,

"I already broke all your fucking arms before, don't make me do it again," Kiba growled.

Look at me!?

Akamaru whimpered at the memory.

-.-*

"You son of a bitch!" Kiba landed another blow at Akamaru. They were chasing after Sasuke, but Sakon and Ukon had trapped them, and Kankuro had to come and save them. "We could have won!" Kiba kicked Akamaru again, sending Akamaru flying against the rock wall.

'Please, Kiba?' Akamaru whimpered, but his cries went unheard in the ears of Kiba.

When I,

Kiba walked over to Akamaru swiftly and harshly picked him up. "If it wasn't for you, then my family name wouldn't have been disgraced." Kiba sropped Akamaru again, but before he fell completely, Kiba kicked him again,

Guessed this

"I worked years and years to become a strong shinobi." Kiba came over to Akamaru and lifted him by the back of his neck.

Myself!

"I have always critiqued myself and others."

I've tried to be honest.

"It's a family value to be honest, so I even tell people what they don't want to hear, even if it is the truth." Kiba went up to Akamaru's left hind leg, and held it loosely.

I'm nobody.

"But still, nobody knows who I am." Kiba tightened his grip on Akamaru's leg.

'But what about the rookie nine?' Kiba scoffed.

"They're a bunch of nobodies as well."

Crack

Akamaru's howl of pain filled the entire forest in which they were in.

Perfect in weakness

"In the words of my mother, sister, and father," Kiba gripped the other hind leg of Akamaru.

I'm only
perfect in just your strength alone.

"I'm perfect for nothing."

Crack

Perfect in weakness

"Dude, the hell are you doing?!" Kiba turned around to see Kankuro standing at the edge of the forest in stunned disbelief.

Kiba quickly threw a smoke bomb at Kankuro. Kankuro instantly fell out and went under the influence of the drug. Kankuro wabbled some and fell to the ground into a drunken state. "Look at the pretty birdie!"

I'm only
Running in just your strength alone.

Kiba turned back to Akamaru with a feral grin on his face. Akamaru was so scared, that he couldn't say anything. He wanted to run, but he couldn't. He wanted to fight back, but he was too weak.

"Time for your punishment, Akamaru." Kiba took out his kunai from his hoister and held it firmly with his right hand. Kiba walked over to Akamaru slowly. He crouched down before him and held the kunai to his throat. "Bye bye."

I tried to kill you.

Kiba thrust forward with the kunai, but he was pushed away before it made contact.

You tried to save me.

"Don't hurt Akamaru!" Kiba opened his eyes, which he closed at the impact, and looked up to see who was attacking him. The first thing he saw was a bright orange jacket and yellow hair. "Is he alright Kankuro?!" Kiba tilted his head and saw Kankuro in a tree inspecting and caring for Akamaru's wounds.

"Yeah, but we're going to need to take him to a vet." Kiba looked back at Naruto and glared daggers into his head. He tried to hit him, but his arms were being held down. He looked over and saw that his wrists had seals on to trap him down.

"Fuck you Naruto! Aren't you supposed to be saving your beloved fucking Sasuke!?" Naruto didn't pay any attention to what kiba was saying, but instead got off of him and went over to Akamaru and Kankuro.

You saved me!
You saved me!

Akamaru looked up weakly at the hovering Kankuro and Naruto. 'Thank you.' Even though only the Inuzuka clan could only hear him, he still felt like he needed to thank them.

Naruto put a hand on Akamaru's head. 'It's okay.' Akamaru was astonished that Naruto was able to understand him.

'He's not the only one,' commented Kankuro. Kankuro petted Akamaru softly. Naruto pushed forward some ointment and bandages.

"Grandma Tsunade gave me this ointment before we left. Use it for Akamaru." Kankuro nodded.

You saved me!
You saved me!

After that, Naruto poofed away, for it was only a clone that he left behind just in case. Kankuro had to knock Kiba out with a poisonous gas and made one of his puppets carry him, and he carried Akamaru in his arms. It turned out that Kankuro had a soft spot for animals; so on their way home, they actually became friends. It was funny because they kept on seeing each other over the years while going around Inuzuka security. After all these years, Kiba still hadn't figured out. Only one thing kept echoing in Akamaru's head now.

'If you need any help, or if you need someplace to go, come to me.'

-.-*

Now, their chasing after someone that had saved him, and that cares more about him than Kiba. Not only that, but the closer they seem to get, the farther they are. Now they're approaching the desert, so he knows where is it that they are heading.

Perfect in weakness

'I have to stop here.' Akamaru stopped at the edge of the forest. Kiba abruptly got off.

"What the hell do you mean you 'have' to stop here?!" Kiba snarled. Akamaru sat down and didn't budge, showing his defiance.

I'm only

'I'm only finally standing up for my self and doing what I believe is right.' Kiba's temper flared. He didn't feel like arguing with his 'damn dog,' as he put it, so he pulled out his kunai and charged at Akamaru.

perfect in just your strength alone.

Blood splattered the trees.

Perfect in weakness

"Gasp." Naruto could feel the cut in chakra, and he knew whom it was. Naruto saddened at it, but shook it off quickly for he had to focus on helping Sakura maintain her chakra supply to keep the chakra shield up. They were almost at the sand village, for they could see it in the distance, the sun rising behind them.

I'm only

They were at the gate, and two shinobi standing before the gate. As soon as they saw Naruto and Sakura, they were happy, but when they saw Sasuke, they stiffened into got loose so they could attack.

"Easy guys," Naruto said. "Sasuke and his team are with Sakura and me." The two sand shinobi relaxed a little, but still remained on guard. "Can you please get Gaara for us?"

Both shinobi nodded, but only one went to get the Kazekage while the other one stayed put.

The shinobi that stayed bowed deeply. "Great to have you back, Naruto-sama, Sakura-sama."

Naruto grabbed him by the shoulders and raised him up. "Remember, I don't need any honoring, maybe Sakura or Sasuke, but not me." The shinobi raised back up and smiled at Naruto.

"Well, as long as your happy." Sasuke didn't like that the man seemed so comforted by Naruto, but brushed it off. He knew with jow Naruto usually acted, he would always have his own fan-club. "Kazekage-sama will be here shortly."

As soon as he said that, a cloud of smoke appeared and Gaara stood there, standing tall.

Running in just your strength alone.

"Hey Gaara," Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura said.


When the next one comes out? Me no know.
