Chapter Three: Tsunade's Visit

I woke up when Akamaru jumped onto my chest and began licking furiously at my face. After pushing him away with a grin, I realized that for the second time that month, my body was on fire.

"Oh god… not again." I groaned. I threw off my covers and lay sprawled on my bed for a moment. "I am not going to get used to this at all." Akamaru whined at me and I sighed. "Oh yeah, I promised you a walk, didn't I?" I sat up and grimaced at the sweat that was already starting to coat my skin. "I don't think I should go out like this buddy, I might jump on Shikamaru or something." I groaned as a new wave of heat swept over me. Akamaru whined again. "Oh jeez, fine. But I'm blaming you if I get broken into pieces by Neji or someone."

I managed to get out of bed and to the bathroom, where I ran a long, cold shower. I had to cool down before I even thought about going outside. Looks like I'm paying Naruto a visit…I smiled as I thought about Naruto. I'd really enjoyed last night. Perhaps next time we could go somewhere more romantic…

Akamaru was barking and scratching at the bathroom door, so I turned off the water and grabbed a towel to dry myself off with. I left my hair wet in the hopes that it would attract a slight chill that would keep me cool for a little while longer. I wandered back to my room in just the towel, and looked through my clothes.

"Right, definitely no black today." I murmured, looking at the array of black leather I had hanging up in my closet. "Hmm…" I eyed the white shirt I had on the floor. Did I want to wear something in public that was so obviously Naruto's? "Of course I do." I answered myself. Smiling, I pulled it on. "I hope he won't mind…" I found a pair of brown shorts and pulled them on, tossing the towel aside. "Come on then, buddy." I grinned at Akamaru as I put my headband on around my neck, somewhat like a collar. I pulled on my shoes at the door and stepped out into the fresh air, closing my eyes and breathing it in deeply. "Ahh, nice and cool out today. That's good." Akamaru barked agreement and jumped outside with me. We passed Hana as we made our way out of the Inuzuka District and she smirked at my shirt, but said nothing.

Walking through Konoha was certainly interesting. People were eyeing my shirt and giving each other questioning looks. I knew some of our friends recognized the shirt as Naruto's. I ran into Ino, Sakura and TenTen, who all lifted their eyebrows at my shirt and smiled.

"Good morning Kiba," Sakura grinned. "Does Naruto know you've stolen his shirt?" I fought down a blush and shrugged it off.

"Yeah, he knows. He did give it to me after all." I wasn't going to hide anything. I was proud to be Naruto's boyfriend. It certainly felt nice to think of him that way. His boyfriend. Never thought I'd ever call myself that.

"Oh, well… okay then." It was worth it all to see the look on Ino's face. I grinned.

"Yeah. Hey, if you see him, can you tell him I'm looking for him?" I asked them. They nodded and I went on my way, Akamaru bounding ahead of me to chase some butterflies. It was nice to see him still acting like a puppy. I wondered what Naruto was doing at that moment, and if he was hot and frustrated too. Knowing us, he probably would be. Or would that be too convenient? I shook that thought out of my mind. Naruto and I wouldn't just have sex for the sake of keeping our hormones at bay. Maybe that's what it started out as, but now there was something more between us.

So lost was I in my thoughts, I didn't notice the Hokage ahead of me until I almost ran into her.

"Ah! Hokage-sama! I… didn't see you there." I stammered sheepishly. Tsunade simply rolled her eyes at me.

"Clearly." She shrugged one shoulder. "I'm here for a reason, Kiba."

"A mission?" It was my natural assumption. The Hokage never needed me for anything else.

"No. Well, actually, you can see it as a mission if you like." Tsunade smirked at my confused expression. "I want you to keep an eye on Naruto. Make sure he doesn't do anything too strenuous or dangerous."

"Why?" I couldn't help asking.

"Just a few reasons which I am not going to discuss with you… yet." She stared at me, hard. "Do you accept the mission, Kiba?"

"I, uh… yeah… but why me?" I frowned. "Why not Sakura, or… Kakashi?"

"Sakura and Kakashi have more important things to be thinking about right now." Tsunade responded. "And you're more likely to spending the most time with him. Now, that's sorted. If he injures himself, the blame is on you." With that said, she vanished quickly, leaving me standing there staring into space like an idiot.

"Why?" I asked the air. "Looks like I'd better go see Naruto right away…" I called to Akamaru and headed off in the other direction. I was curious as to why Tsunade had suddenly dumped this on me. Why couldn't Naruto do strenuous things? Was there something wrong with him? Fear gripped my heart. Was he alright? Was he sick or had he already done himself some serious harm? I became aware that my strides had become quicker and longer, a product of me becoming more and more anxious to see Naruto and make sure that he was okay.

"Kiba!" I turned, startled, at the sound of Naruto's voice. I turned just in time, because in the next second I had a blonde ninja attached to my waist. "Sakura said you were looking for me." I pulled back and looked him over quickly. No obvious injuries… and he certainly didn't look sick. "What? What's wrong?" I wondered whether I should tell him about the mission Tsunade had given me. I decided against it, knowing just how he'd react. Tsunade wouldn't appreciate Naruto storming into her office this early in the morning.

"Nothing." I smiled. "Just wanted to look at you." He grinned at me, which assured me that he was, in fact, alright. Nothing was physically wrong with him. Mentally, however…

"You're wearing my shirt." I felt the heat rise up around the back of my neck as it sank in. I'd forgotten I was wearing it.

"Yeah… I needed something cooler to wear than black or grey so… I mean, it was just lying there so I thought… I figured you… well, wouldn't mind." My embarrassment was amusing to him.

"It's fine. I like it on you." He shrugged. "Besides, I have a ton of them." The urge to sigh was very hard to resist. "Hey, actually… I was thinking… I woke up feeling a little uncomfortable today, y'know… with that time of the year still hanging around…" I smirked, knowing exactly what he was getting at. "And I wanted to know if you wanted to go on another date tonight? Just a little one, y'know… a nice long walk in the park or something…" I took his hand and smiled.

"Sure, I'd like that." With a quick tug I pulled him closer and bent my head so my lips were by his ear. "And then afterwards, maybe we can do something about this little problem of ours…" Naruto shivered with delight at the very thought, which made me grin.

"I can't wait." Naruto murmured. "Anyway… I have to go. Iruka wanted to see me at Ichiraku and then I've got some stuff to do…"

"I'll call by around 8." I grinned. "I have to finish Akamaru's walk anyway." We parted with a quick kiss and I watched him jump up onto the rooftops for a quicker way to get around Konoha. I contemplated going after him to make sure nothing happened to him, but I decided against it. If he caught me stalking him, I'd never hear the last of it. "Come on Akamaru, I'm sure he'll be okay for a few hours or so."

Naruto POV

I've been filling ill every time I wake up in the mornings. I just assumed I had eaten something bad, but if that's the case, it normally passes within a day. This has yet to pass. Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing serious. This morning though I could tell something was different. Not only did I feel sick, but I also had the same sort of feeling as I had when I was in heat the first time, although this time it wasn't as bad.

Not again... was my first thought. I walked over to my window and looked out; it was a bright day as usual, definitely not good for cooling down. I walked into my bathroom, splashing cold water onto my face before deciding I would be alright to go out for a couple of hours. I wanted to see Iruka today and buy Kiba a gift as I never got him one for our first date.

I stepped out of my apartment, finding it surprisingly cool outside, already on my way to see Iruka when Sakura came up to me, stopping me in my path.

"Oi, Naruto, Kiba was looking for you earlier; you better go look for him" Sakura said, already leaving, not even giving me a chance to say thanks or anything like that. Ugh, impatient girls.

I carried on walking, now searching for Kiba, I soon found him, he was walking Akamaru, and I quickly called his name before launching myself at him, curling my arms round his waist.

After a brief conversation, we had arranged another date and I went back on my way to see Iruka-sensei.

When I found Iruka-sensei, I was surprised to find Kaka-san wasn't with him today, Iruka said something, with a slight blush might I add, about how he'd gone out to get some supplies that they needed. It didn't bother me in the slightest; in fact I was rather glad Kaka-san wasn't there. It gave me a chance to get Iruka-sensei to buy me more ramen. I usually got less when Kaka-san was around, heh.

Something wasn't right today, for some reason Iruka-sensei was being oddly protective of me. He made sure my ramen was cool before I ate it, he wouldn't let me bounce in my seat as much as usual and he kept asking if I was ok. It wasn't unlike Iruka to be protective, but this much? I tried asking him why he was acting like this but he only told me it was nothing I need to worry about, but I couldn't shrug the feeling that something was wrong.

Time flew by and before I knew it, it was 4 o'clock. Iruka stood up, saying he had to get back and make sure everything was in order and see if Kakashi was back at his. I waved goodbye, still sitting on the stool, not wanting the time to end yet. I ran through the events that happened today and remembered I still had a present to buy.

So I got up and started wandering around the market and shops, trying to figure out what would be the best present for Kiba. I went into various shops searching and yet I still couldn't find anything that I thought was the 'perfect' present. As I was wandering I spotted Kakashi going into a shop that didn't have a name on it.

What was he doing? What's in that shop? I was curious so I followed him discreetly into the store and was shocked at what was inside. It was a sex shop, it was filled with various 'toys', 'costumes', dirty movies, books, everything you could think of was in there. I watched Kakashi look around and pick out things he especially liked, some of the things though, didn't look like they would be for him though.

I realised with a shock. They were for Iruka-sensei! These were the 'supplies'! I couldn't watch anymore, the thought disturbed me. I decided to have a look for myself and see what was actually in here. Looking around, I found various things that I took interest of, found various things that I found a bit gross and also found some things I didn't quite understand what they were for.

I wasn't sure what I was looking for but I carried on searching anyway. I had nearly looked round the whole shop when I saw it. I had almost walked straight passed it but I had seen it at the last split second. I backtracked a few steps, so I wasn't craning my neck to look at it, and I stared at it. Without even thinking about it, I bought it. This would be Kiba's present. I didn't even know why I bought it for him, but the opportunity looked too tempting to pass up.

After I purchased it, I jumped rooftops, urging myself to go as fast as I could, I didn't want to get caught with this on me, I didn't want unwanted questions. I didn't want anyone but Kiba to know what was inside this bag. Little did I know Kakashi had been watching me the whole time, snickering.

I arrived home in record time and began immediately getting ready for my date with Kiba; I had spent too long in that shop. When I was finally ready it was already 7:35, so I sat down and waited for Kiba to arrive. I didn't have to wait long; there was a knock on the door dead on eight. Well here we go, the moment of truth, will he like the present or won't he?
