Chapter 3 - The Gun


"So, what do you think will happen now?" Woody asked me, moving his hat to uncover his face.

I glared up at the stars, and rammed my boot onto the roof of the building we were on. "No idea." I said, sneering. "I just hope it has nothing to do with me and Tenten."

"That Neji fella scares you huh?"

I grumbled and turned on my side, my back to him. "Does it matter? I heard he doesn't have a gun, so if he pulls anything I'll pull something out on him."

Woody smirked at my sullen mood and sat up. "Dude, I have a serious question for you, now."

I looked at him and saw his staring right back at me. Whatever was bothering him must have been important, because his face as locked into stone lines. "What is it?"

Woody sighed and looked up at the stars. "You see…I had this dream…and I want you to tell me what it means." He sighed again and smiled sadly at me. I was starting to get really worried, since it seemed to effect him a lot. This couldn't be good.

"What happened?"

"I had this dream….a-and…" he sighed and rubbed his hand on his shirt. "I think…"

"Just tell me what happened in the dream."

"Well……I heard more and more about the girl cowboys last night, and I remembered Pinky and Tenten chick…and I thought that maybe…." He paused for a moment, looking at me seriously. "I had a dream I fell in love with a cowgirl."

My face fell for a moment. I couldn't really understand what he meant, but then it hit me. I sat up quickly and looked at him with wide eyes. "You like Pinky?!"

"What?!"

--

I groaned as I pulled myself up from the ground. I was near the side of the rode and the sun was just rising. I tried remembering what had happened last night, but when I did there was a huge throbbing in my skull. It was like the Indians were trying to ram their way out of my brain. It hurt…

After helplessly laying there for a while, glaring at the town's people that dared to look at me. I know I looked liked an idiot, laying on the floor, my arms and legs sprawled out, and a permanent frown on my face. But hey, it at least I remembered what happened at last!

Last Night~~~

"WHAT?"

"I can't believe you like PINKY!" Kiba doubled over laughing, rolling on the ground back and forth. "She has got to be the most guyish girl I've ever seen!"

Woody blushed furiously, shaking his head and standing up. "I don't like her at all, you idiot! I meant I might like a cowgirl! I just don't know which one!"

Kiba stopped laughing and looked at his friend seriously again. "So what your saying is…you like her with black hair?"

WHAM!

Woody's foot connected his Kiba's stomach with an echoing hollow sound. Kiba coughed and rolled, half his body off the building, half on. Woody's eyes widened as Kiba's body turned more towards falling off. Woody took a step forward and reached out for him.

He sighed when Kiba's body rolled back onto the roof. He chuckled lightly when Kiba groaned in pain. Suddenly, Kiba sneezed, making him roll and fall on the front of the roof. "Kiba!" Woody stopped...turned...and slowly walked away. "He was here alone, I was at home, and if he has bruises, it was the squirrels."

End Flashback~~~

I growled lowly in my throat, glaring at the sky. Next time I see Woody, I'm going to rip his head off and feed it to the squirrels. Which for some reason, live way out here in the desert. Stupid Cactus Squirrels are the craziest thing you will ever see.

I sat up slowly, ignoring the pain that shot through my spine. Oh well, I'd been through worse so this couldn't be any different. I shook my head, ridding my hair of the dirt that had gathered there from the midnight and morning winds and carriages driving down the busy rode.

Just as I stopped shaking my head, a speeding carriage drove down the road, heading straight for me. "Shit!" I yelled, jumping out of its way. It swerved a bit, brushing up a gust of new dirt that land all over me. I growled as I stood up and did a full body shake, dirt flying even which way from my body, hair, and clothes. I usually wasn't this dirty, though my mind usually was.

I growled to myself and stomped down the road, determined to figure out who almost killed me and why! Before I got there, a blonde chick in a blue dress stumbled out of the carriage, landing on her face and staying there. Oh well…guess she passed or of something. I walked past her and went right up to the drives seat, hopping up on it. "Hey! I dont know who you think you a-…"

There in the front seat was a kid about my age. He was wearing a green plaid shirt, worn out blue jeans, and black boots with a rose on the toe. His hair was up in a huge spikey pony tail, and he looked calm enough. Oh yea, and he was asleep.

Well that explains the wild driving…

I rolled my eyes and took out my rifle, firing a single shot into the air.

The kid shot up, jumped up, tripped, and fell flat on his face. I chuckled a bit, but stopped when he glared at me. "What the hell as that for?" he sounded mad but…he didn't…he sounded bored at the same time.

I glared back. "Oh, I dunno, maybe for running me over!" I screamed, aiming my rifle at him.

"KIBA! What the hell, kiddo! Get down and put that thing away!"

I sighed and jumped off the carriage, strapping my rifle back onto my back. The kid got up and followed my gaze down the road. My Uncle, that Hyuuga dude, Tenten, Hinata, Pinky, and Neji were all running over to us. Hyuuga with that nice pistol out and Pinky out with a gun of her own.

Tenten ran over to the guy and hugged him. "Shika! When did you get here? Kiba-kun didn't hurt you did he?"

I felt my eye twitch. Kun?

My uncle appeared behind me, smacking me upside the head and glaring at me. "Why you firing off random shots boy?! You could'a hit someone!"

"Your boy obviously doesn't care for anyone but himself." That Hyuuga guy said. He was standing there, glaring at me with his arms crosses over his head. Neji was standing next to him, doing the exact same thing. OK, what the hell? Now I have to deal with two of them?

I bowed my head to the taller freak, "Sorry, Mr. Hyuuga. I saw him recklessly driving through the streets, nearly killing my in the process, so I needed a good way to wake him up in time. Before anyone else could get hurt."

'Shika' scoffed under his breath and muttered something about being troublesome. Sakura looked at him with raised eye brows and stood there for a moment. Then her eyes widened, darting in every which direction. "Shika! Weren't you driving Ino here?!"

On queue, a groan floated through the air from behind me. I gasped slightly and ran over to the now sitting blonde on the floor with Sakura and 'Shika' hot on my tail. I kneeled next her and grinned slightly. "You alright, hun?"

The girl looked up at me and blushed.

'Shika' smacked my head and helped the girl up. I glared at him and stood up too. Sakura hugged the girl and patted the dirt off her clothes. "Ino, are you alright? Shika! You fell asleep while you were driving again, didn't you?!"

Shika shrugged and stuck his pinky in his ear. "Whatever."

Wow……this kid was getting on my nerves.

Ino hugged her friend back and kissed Shika's cheek. "I'm fine, I know my Shika-kun wouldn't want to hurt me!"

"Get off me woman!" he yelled, pushing her off and back onto the dirt road, walking off while muttering his 'troublesome' line again.

Ino giggled and got up, turning to me. "Hi! I'm Ino! That's Shikamaru, my future husband!"

"I'm not your future anything, woman!"

"We'll see about that!" she responded.

Tenten broke through the noise and jumped into my arms, startling everyone. I stole a glance at Hinata, and saw her slightly glaring at Tenten. Jealousy, Maybe? Ooooo, fun! I wrapped my arms around her waist and grinned at her, "Hey, babe."

Hinata flushed in anger and turned away, hands clenched at her sides. Sweeeeeet.

Tenten also blushed, burying her face in the crook of my neck. "You do care!"

Someone (or, someones) cleared their throat. We both looked at Sakura, Ino, and Shikamaru all staring at us with their eye brows up to their hairlines. A look of 'What the hell?' on their faces. I shrugged and let go of Tenten. "She's cool."

Shikamaru shrugged and climbed into the carriage, for what I assume would be a nap. Sakura dragged Ino away from the carriage, heading towards the town hotel. Probably telling her about the town, Me, my Uncle, and the stuff going down right now. Hinata slowly walked back over to Neji and her father, looking down the whole way.

Neji, was giving me the worst glare I have ever gotten. I shiver ran down my spine when I met his eyes. This...was not good, at all. Tenten giggled at her place beside me. "Shaking are you, Kiba? Do I make you nervous?"

I responded in the usual way. Pulling her flush against my body, one hand on her waist, the others holding her two wrists together over her heart. I pulled her face closer to mine and leaned in, "Are you sure it's you that's making me nervous?"

She gulped.

Neji glared along with Hinata.

Uncle grinned at me and gave me thumbs up.

--

I was sitting in the saloon, taking a sip of a tequila bottle when Woody walked in. He looked around, spotted me at the counter, than ran over waving. "Kiba! Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?!" he yelled.

I sighed when I saw all the eyes in the room turn and look at me. This couldn't end well, I knew it. "You got a girlfriend, Kiba-baby?"

I looked and saw Sasha, the town's saloon girl. She was holding two mugs of beer in each hand, all over-flowing with foam, and was wearing the usual uniform. A short red and black puffy dress, black heels, fishnet leggings, a head dress, and a red corset holding up her bust. She was at least 10 years older than me, and was sorta like my mom...if that made any sense. I grinned at her and scratched my cheek. "Sorta, well yea I guess. But I don't really know how it happened. Thanks for the tequila, by the way."

Woody sat down to me and grinned at her. "Yea, can I have one of those?"

She glared at him and walked around the counter, heading off towards a table of 4 drunk guys. "You know I can't do that! New law passed last month says that kids cant drink!"

Woody gaped at her like a fish and pointed at me. "You gave him one?"

"Oh well I can always bend the rules for my lil Pup!" she grinned at me, ruffling my hair and returning to the counter. "Now tell me about this girl, Pup."

I groaned at her nickname for me. "Her names Tenten, she's got…well, weird hair really. Looks like that white bear in China."

"Panda?"

"That's the one. Well she came here with these two other girls, and another one came today. But don't worry, its not serious. Just using her."

"Kiba Inuzuka!" she screamed, taking my bottle away and hitting me with it. Thank god it didn't break. "How dare you! Didn't I teach you anything when you were growing up?! Never mistreat a woman! It'll come back to haunt you!"

Woody laughed in his seat next to me. "Well, Sash, it's not like he can do much! There's a killer trying to get him for taking his women!"

"Women? How many girls like you now?!" she asked, raising her brows and looking at me like I was a freak. True, but come on, there wasn't anyone el-........oh yea....

"Uh, just this girl Hinata. She's the one I really want. I'm using Tenten to get Hinata jealous. The thing is, this guy Neji is a total bastard. He hates me cause he likes Tenten too, so he's probably gonna try and kill me. I'm just glad he doesn't have a gun. I think that's what keeps him at bay."

Sasha sighed and held her head in her hand, resting her elbow on the counter. I saw Woody leaning over the counter, getting a look down her front. "Kiba-baby, you really shouldn't mess with another guys girl! You should know not to listen to your Uncle! The mans daft! Hold on…"

She raised the same bottle over her head and slammed it into Woody's face, breaking it and making him fall out of his chair, unconscious. "There we go, lil perv. Now Kiba~"

She continued to lecture me, but I tuned it out. I was laughing at Woody, and also wondering why I was using Tenten. She was pretty, seemed kinda smart (probably more so than me), and was a damn good kisser. But Hinata, she was so…innocent. It was like I wanted to break that innocence. Oh well, I'll check her hand for a purity ring later...

"~and that's why aliens don't exist." Sasha said.

I looked at her weird, but she just grinned. "Uh, thanks Sash, but I have to go. I have to get to work on Hyuuga's farm soon." I said, getting off my stool and looking down at the pile of useless meat on the floor. "Want me to get him out of here?"

"Na, I'll get Bruce to do it later."

"Kay." I was going to step over him and leave, but then I remembered something. This bastard kicked me off the roof last night... "No Sash, I'll take care of his right now for ya."

"Cool, thanks Kiba!"

I walked outside and grabbed a rope off of Lightning, and tied it to the hook hanging off her saddle. I walked back inside the saloon and tied the other end through Woody's belt loops. I winked at Sasha before running outside, and jumping on Lightning. She started running to the direction of the Hyuuga farm immediately, dragging Woody out of the saloon and right behind us.

"Kiba! Kiba stop! I'm sorry!" I heard a voice say from behind me, but I just sped up, going full speed now. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

I laughed and took the knife out of my back pocket, cutting the rope. I turned and saw Woody spinning and rolling to a stop, not moving and probably knocked out again. I laughed and rode on to the ranch. "Come on Lightning! I got a 'girlfriend' to piss off and a girl to flirt with! Lets go!"

Lightning did her little horse sound and ran on.

--

I groaned as another pain shot through my arm. I was so being over worked. Not only did the Hyuuga bastard want to me build a barbed wire fence, he wanted to dig a trench around his house so that run off from his grass wouldn't be lost!

I had long since then abandoned my vest, shirt, holster, and belt, which where all now laying on the porch of the large house. I wondered what I looked like right now, seeing as all four girls were sitting on chairs on the same porch, sipping lemonade and chatting. My shirt off, me sweating all over, and my pants hanging loosely around my hips. Now image that in your head!

I glared in their direction, but grinned when I saw Tenten wave over at me. I flung the dirt onto the floor with my shovel and started jogging over to them. When I got closer, I saw a distinct blush on Tenten's face, a fire blazing on Hinata's, Sakura slightly lookin' red and trying to avoid looking at me, and Ino practically drooling.

Time to piss off my 'girlfriend'…

I stopped at the steps to the porch and stuck my chest out, making sure to flex my abs. "You called, Babe?"

Tenten blushed more and handed me a glass of water. "We figured you must be thirsty after that hard work you've been doing..." slowly, her eyes left mine and drifted to my chest, "so we figured you could use this.... to... cool off from the....heat you know..."

I smirked at her and leaned down to kiss her cheek, but before I got there, someone squealed.

Ino clapped her hands over her mouth and looked at us apologetically. "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt, but that was just too cute! And hot! Mostly hot!"

I smirked at her and took a drink from the cup being held out to me, drinking half of it. "Yea, I know. I get that a lot. Especially from Hinata other there."

Hinata and Tenten gasped a the same time. Tenten turned and glared at Hinata, and when Hinata saw it, and the fire behind it, she gulped and got up, quickly running into the huge home, her face on fire.

I grinned, but Sakura stood up and slapped me. "You bastard!" she yelled, growling at me and stepping through the door and looking around. "Hinata, where are you?!"

Tenten shot up and slapped me too. I rolled my eyes when I cheek started to burn. "You are a bastard! Good day!" and then walked inside the house.

Ino, the last person that I thought would do this, also stood up and slapped me across the face. I flexed my jaw and stared at her. "You Prick!" she screamed, running through the door way. But she stopped, turned to me, and said in a whisper, "Doesn't work out with Tenten, then call me!" She winked and walked through the doorway, slamming it.

I sat there on the porch, trying to process what the hell had just happened, but my face kinda fucking hurt.

And so, sitting on the wooden porch in pain, I couldn't stop one thought from slipping through my head.

...

Did I have a girlfriend or not?!

--

Finally the sun was setting and I got a chance to slip away from the farm when no one was looking. You know, someone should really make someone to enforce the laws of a town. Someone to make sure crimes don't happen. Oh wait...that's my Uncle, for the moment. And where is he? Well he is currently passed out in front of the saloon while it is currently being robbed. I know this, how? Oh yea, causee I'm standing in front of it right now!

"Johnny, I got the goods! Let's go!" I heard a deep voice say from inside. Out came an idiot. Dressed in all back, with a red hat. He does know that even if he gets away we could find him in the desert like a tiger in the ocean, right?

Another guy came out and stood next to him, Sasha tossed over his shoulder like a bag. "And I got the girl, let's hit it!" This one, though, had a bright green hat.

I cleared my throat and looked at the with a very...passive face. "Really, and you guys idiots?"

Sir Red Hat stepped out, carrying a bag full of what I presume to be money, over his shoulder. He raised a pistol to me and grinned. His teeth were worse that Uncle's... "Listen kid, we don't want no one to get hurt, so shut up and move."

Green laughed loudly and moved to a black horse. He tossed Sasha over the end of the saddle and climbed on. "Lets go, Tommy. We have to go!"

Red just rolled his eyes and cocked his pistol at me. "Try to follow us, and you're dead!"

On que, Sasha groaned, causing both the guys to look over at her. I took this as my chance and ran towards Red, tackling him to the ground. "Get off me, kid!" he yelled. I did, rolling off him, standing up and kicking his gun away. I raised my fists and glared at him. He got up and smirked at me. "What kid, you wanna fight?"

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, idiot, let's just go!" I yelled, lunging at him. He pulled back his fist, going for the right of my face. I side stepped up, smirked up at him, and brought my knee up to his stomach. He groaned and leaned forward. Far enough so that I could ram my elbow onto the back of his neck, making him fall.

"Boss!" Green called out, but I ignored him. Red rolled over and coughed up blood, then glared at me, finally rolling onto his back. "Get up Boss!"

"Shut up, you're making it worse!"

"Oh just sleep already!" I yelled, kicking the side of his face to that he rolled again and stayed there.

By now people from the saloon had come out to watch. A lot of them gave me approving looks, which was weird. But I focused my attention on the guy with Sasha over the back of his horse.

He met my eyes and gulped, turning the horse around. "I'm out of here!" he yelled, and with that he rode away.

Before he could get anyway really, a voice rang out. "Give us back your chick, dick!"

Woody swung from the roof of the corner of the saloon and kicked Green off his horse and onto the floor. Woody landed on his ass. But it was a nice landing, really, it was! Points for effort.

Green groaned on the floor, but Woody just walked over to him and kicked his face like I had Red, knocking him out too. He lifted Sasha off the horse and back to the ground. "Woody! Thank you boy, thank you!" she screamed, kissing both his cheeks and hugging him. She then ran over to me and hugged me too. "Thank you Kiba, you're such a big help!" she said, hugging me and kissing my cheeks.

The crowd behind up started clapping and moving inward towards me, patting my back and ruffling my hair. I rolled my eyes and laughed with them, but out of the corner of my eye, something shining caught my attention.

It was a shiny silver pistol, and Neji was holding it. He met my gaze and smirked evilly at me, pointing the gun and faking firing it at me. But, I still cringed anyway.

I'm

So

Fucked!

Me: I have a feeling that came out kind of awkward…
