Chapter Two: The Date

I stood outside Naruto's door, feeling unusually nervous. My sister had somehow guessed that I was going on a date tonight, and since I'd gone home in a shirt branded with a ramen bowl – and the fact that I'd probably smelt of Naruto – she'd managed to guess who my date was with. I'd asked Akamaru to stay at home that evening, promising to take him on a nice long walk the next day to make up for it.

My nerves became worse when I heard footsteps on the other side of the door, and then the door opened to reveal Naruto, dressed in a simple white shirt and black jeans. I looked him over without thinking. As my eyes met his, I saw the smirk on his face and I blushed slightly, busying myself in smoothing out my dark red shirt.

"Hi." I muttered. I quickly remembered the gift I'd picked up for him, and pulled it from my pocket and held it out. "I, err… got this for you."

"What is it?" Naruto asked, taking it from me. He tore open the bag it was in and grinned at the newest flavour of ramen. "Ramen! Kiba you're the best!" I was rewarded with a tackle-hug and a quick kiss, which certainly settled my nerves.

"Yeah well, it was just a last minute thing…" I was not about to tell him that I'd gone to every store that sold ramen just to find that new flavour. "You all ready to go?" Naruto put the ramen on a table in the hallway and closed the door to his apartment. When he didn't lock it, I lifted an eyebrow in question.

"Well… I kinda broke the lock when I kicked the door in last night…" He said sheepishly. I caught sight of his neck and smirked. There was a large red mark upon his skin, where I'd bitten him the previous night. He realized what I was staring at and scowled. "If you have to bite me, do it elsewhere, okay?"

"Alright, I'll try." I laughed. "Let's go." It felt nice to walk beside Naruto in relative quiet for once. We exchanged a little conversation about the events since our parting that morning. I was a little concerned when he mentioned his visit to the Hokage, especially when he told me about Tsunade-sama talking to Iruka and Kakashi alone. I suddenly remembered what Akamaru had told me that morning. "Oi, Naruto?"

"What?"

"I don't think our little… affair, last night, is much of a secret." I said to him. "Akamaru told me that Kakashi-sensei and Iruka-sensei saw us in bed together." Naruto stopped walking and blushed.

"They saw us?" He exclaimed. I nodded. "Wait… together? They're spending a lot of time together recently. And guess what! I heard Kakashi-sensei call Iruka-sensei 'Iru-kun' today!" I couldn't help but smile at Naruto's naivety.

"Naruto, the reason they're always together is because… well… they're like us." I said with a grin. Naruto frowned.

"They're in heat too?" Cue sweat-drop.

"No, no… they're kind of… together." I explained. Naruto continued to frown for a moment before it began to sink in, and he gasped.

"What! Kaka-sensei… and Iruka-sensei… EWW!" He suddenly yelled. "That's NOT an image I want in my head! That's like… picturing your parents doing… well, THAT." I cringed visibly, and tried to think of something else quickly. "He's perverted my Iruka, I know it!"

"Naru-chan, calm down…" I laughed slightly. "Iruka likes Kakashi, and Kakashi likes him. They're both adults. They can do what they want." I could see that this new piece of information would be on his mind all night, and I wished I'd left it until the end of the date. "Hey look – ramen!" I said quickly, spotting Ichiraku and using it as a diversion.

"Ramen!" He grinned, racing towards the ramen stand. Laughing, I followed a little less hurriedly. When I caught up with him, he was just sitting down, and I took a seat next to him. Teuchi smiled at Naruto.

"Ah, my favourite customer! What will it be tonight then?" His eyes cast over me and his smile became sly. "Brought along a friend, have we?"

"Actually, it's his treat!" Naruto corrected. "We're on a date." It was weird to hear it said out loud like that, but I didn't exactly dislike it. As Teuchi's eyebrows lifted, I smiled and nodded agreement.

"Well then, everything is half price for you! Not often we get love-struck couples in here." From the look on Naruto's face, he was planning to take full advantage of that offer. This was going to be a long night.

Two hours later

"I'm stuffed." Naruto announced, finishing off his umpteenth bowl of ramen. I studied the mass of dishes in front of him and grinned. Typical Naruto.

"Me too." My stack of dishes wasn't far off his. After all, the two of us were very much alike in many aspects. Naruto returned my grin and leant over, resting his head on my shoulder. "Come on, I'll pay and we can head off, yeah?" He nodded and I handed Teuchi the money, thankful that my last mission had been a well-paid one. Once the ramen was paid for, we left Ichiraku, thanking Teuchi again for the half-price offer he'd given us.

"Thanks for that, Kiba." Naruto said with a smile as we walked through Konoha. "I enjoyed tonight."



"Same. Watching you eat that many bowls was certainly entertaining for me." I laughed. There was a moment where we simply walked in silence. It had gotten dark by now, and I looked up at the stars. I felt something knock my hand and I looked down, spotting Naruto's hand edging closer and closer to mine. Reading the gesture instantly, I linked our fingers together.

"I'm glad we're both in heat together." Naruto said quietly. "Cause… now that I think about it, I've kinda always had a… thing for you. I guess I never realized it before because I was always so hung up on Sakura-Chan… but after that night… I just don't want our time together to end." I smiled at his words because they were the exact words I was thinking.

"This is going to sound so cliché, but… I feel the same, Naruto. I missed you, ya know. Konoha was quiet without you, and it just wasn't right." I told him. He squeezed my hand lightly.

"I missed Konoha. I missed Ichiraku. I missed Sakura-Chan and the others." He stopped walking and turned to face me. "And I missed you." With a gentle tug on my hand, he brought me forward and kissed me. Before he could pull away, I kissed back, hard. We remained locked together for a couple of minutes before the need for air arose, and we broke apart, breathing heavily.

I felt like we were being watched and I looked up at the Hokage's office, where I thought I saw Tsunade looking down at us. I shrugged it off and walked Naruto back to his apartment.

Naruto's POV

The date I shared with Kiba couldn't have gone better, I was so happy there, eating my favourite food half price, and finally realising it was Kiba who I liked most. It felt like I was bouncing of the air, I was that happy, Kiba had told me he liked me and had missed me, and I said the same to him, it was unreal. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the date I couldn't help but feel it was too short, I didn't want this perfect time to end just yet, even if I couldn't eat anymore without risking self-explosion, it would have been nice to spend more time in each other's company, even if we did practically see each other all the time, but it was time to go home, Kiba walking me to my apartment of course.

After arriving at my apartment, we said our goodbyes, me giving Kiba a kiss on the lips, which he returned, and thanked him again for the date. Kiba left and I shut the door, moving into the kitchen, sitting down at the table, and letting myself think about the events which have happened today. I still couldn't quite get over the fact that Kakashi and my Iruka are dating, I mean Kakashi is this perverted Jonin, and Iruka is this sweet loving father figure, they just don't go together, but after a while of thinking about it I'm glad I know who Iruka is going out with, I know what Kakashi-san is like, he won't hurt Iruka, and if he does he'll get something from me, believe it! I can't believe Iruka didn't tell me though, I thought he told me everything, why couldn't he tell me about him and Kakashi-san? Should I confront him about it, or wait till he tells me in his own time? I'll see if Iruka will tell me in his own time, I hope he does. I suddenly remembered what Kiba had said earlier, he said Kakashi and 

Iruka had seen us in bed together, so that's why Kakashi was all smug, and Iruka embarrassed, they knew all along. Bastards.

I suddenly realised Kiba's present was still in the hallway. I got up and got it before coming back into the kitchen, putting it into the appropriate place; I won't eat that just yet. I couldn't believe how much Kiba had changed; he's gotten pretty mature while I was gone, I was glad.

After Kiba had given me the ramen, I felt slightly guilty as I didn't get anything for him, so I vowed to myself next time I'll buy him something, something he'll like and will be special to him, I don't know what that will be, but I'll figure that out when it comes to it.

I looked up at the clock and realised I had been sat there, in the kitchen, thinking, for two hours. It was now 10 o'clock. I wasn't even tired though. I'm not going bed just yet.

I wonder what Kiba is doing right now? Is he doing the same as me, or is he sleeping like a normal person would be? I have no way of knowing, I miss him already. How sad am I? If Kakashi was to hear me, I'd surely get teased. Tomorrow I'm going to go see everyone, make a day out of it, I said to Kiba I had missed them, yet I haven't yet made the effort to see them in the last few days. I will see them tomorrow for sure.

My mind gradually wondered back to Kakashi and Iruka and them walking in on me and Kiba, what made them here anyway?

As I was thinking, it came to me, how many other people know about Kakashi-san and Iruka-kun? Am I really oblivious or did they hide it well? I hope I wasn't the only left one out. I might be a bit slow at times but I don't want to think I'm completely stupid. It also made me wonder; are there other ninjas like us? Other ninjas who like the same sex as themselves? For some reason it wouldn't surprise me, Neji's always looked a bit gay to me and Kotetsu and Izumo I'm pretty sure are an item, I mean they are always together, I mean they might as well be super glued to each other.

Maybe I'll be able to see Kiba tomorrow even if we haven't planned anything, but then maybe Kiba will get annoyed with me if I turn up unannounced, I'll wait, I don't want to do anything wrong, this is too good to just ruin.

I wonder if the mark on my neck has gone down. I got up and headed into my bathroom where the mirror was and looked into it, turning my head so my neck was facing the mirror, but so I could still see. It was still there, and didn't look like it would go anytime soon. I mentally cursed Kiba, although I did kind of like it there, and everyone will know I've had some sort of action, so everyone will know I'm not totally unlikable, which is a plus for me. I could imagine it now, the shocked look on Sakura's and Ino's faces, Chouji looking at it for a few seconds, before returning to his crisps, Rock Lee, exclaiming how youthful that is, and praising me, and questioning me on who was the lucky person. Ah, that would definitely be something to remember. How will I tell everyone though that it was Kiba? Will they understand, or will it just give them another reason to hate me? I hope not, but i shouldn't care, 

Kiba is all I need, that's right, if they can't accept it then they aren't worth it, I don't need them if they are like that. I'll tell them tomorrow, even Baa-Chan.

I went back to the kitchen and sat down again at the table, I didn't want to go to sleep just yet, even if it was probably late. I had lots of stuff to do tomorrow, I should really sleep, but since when did I ever listen to myself? Hardly ever.

I must have been sitting there for a pretty long time, because when I next looked up at the clock it was nearing 1 o'clock in the morning. I need to get to sleep; I have to wake up at 7. Heh like that will happen.

I stood up from the chair, realising I actually was pretty tired and headed into my bedroom, where I got into my bed clothes and promptly fell into bed and fell asleep, wishing for dreams of Kiba.
