Konoha's Fox and Hound
Chapter Eight: Return from Suna
Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto franchise.
My Note: The eighth chapter of my rp with the wonderous Naruto-Desu-ka from Tumblr. Of course this takes place in the KV Universe and happens around three days after the seventh chapter. I hope you enjoy our work and it would be cool if you could leave a review.
The KV Universe - The KV universe is largely the same as the canon universe, the one different being that the Shinobi powers are greatly reduced ie: strength, speed, agility.
Naruto walked in the gates of Konoha, being thankful to be home. He kept walking hoping not to see anyone not wanting to explain the reason he was sporting a huge black eye just yet. The blonde arrived home throwing his bag on the floor, thankful that his apartment was empty.
As he flopped onto the couch, he found a lot of white dog hairs he smiled to himself thinking of the Inuzuka and how much he had missed him over the past week.
Kiba was sitting on a wooden bench at the sides of one of Konoha's larger parks; having taken Akamaru there for a nice long day outside since there didn't seem to be any important missions to do. He wasn't alone however as Ino sat beside him, leaning against his muscular frame as she talked about her work at the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
It seemed to be getting late in the afternoon, the sky tracking orange instead of the light blue from earlier. With a sigh, Kiba and Ino both climbed off the bench, fetched Akamaru and walked out of the park.
Strolling along the streets, Kiba hugged Ino goodbye and noticed she once again held onto him for a few seconds too long. She and Kiba had been growing closer over the week as she hadn't been able to go with the rest of her team on their mission, the very same mission that would have them meet up with Naruto.
Naruto…
Naruto…
"Fuck!" Kiba exclaimed at the top of his lungs, shocking a few passer-by's.
Kiba broke off into a run, Akamaru at his heels and barking loudly. He couldn't believe that he had forgotten about today. Today of all days, he had forgotten. His sense of time over the week had become skewed, forgetting that today was exactly one week from when Naruto left to go to Suna and that he was due to get back any moment now.
Running up the stairs and skidding to a halt in front of Naruto's front door, Kiba reached for the handle and found it to be unlocked. With a grin, Kiba opened the door and walked into the apartment.
"Naruto?" Kiba called out, looking into the bedroom and bathroom before making it into the living room. He spotted Naruto lying on the couch, features obscured due to the dim lighting. "Naruto!"
The blonde was half asleep, napping after the huge mission he had just returned from. The thought that Kiba must have been busy the blonde had been thinking of Kiba all week missing him, he hoped that Kiba had been thinking the same of him.
Naruto heard the door open and sat up on the couch, reaching over and turning on the lamp beside the couch completely forgetting about the black eye. "Hey stranger I missed you." Naruto said smiling happily at the Inuzuka.
Kiba stopped dead as the light switched on. He stared at Naruto. Or rather he stared at Naruto's face, at the black mark that marked his skin. Akamaru whimpered slightly at his side before bounding up to the blonde and jumping on the couch, attempting to lick at the bruise.
"Naruto what happened," Kiba asked, stepping forward slightly but not moving to the couch. "Did a bandit do that?"
Naruto braced himself as the large white dog landed on him licking his face; at that point he remembered the tender bruise. "It's okay Akamaru…" He said wincing slightly.
"Uhh not exactly…" Naruto said looking back at Kiba, "I'm happy to be home." He said with a smile.
"Akamaru, get off him," Kiba told the dog who obeyed and jumped back down to the floor. Kiba walked to the couch and sat, bouncing slightly as his rear hit the cushion. "Sorry I didn't come around sooner."
The blonde smiled "That's okay; I'm sure that where doing something important." Naruto wrapped his arms around Kiba on the couch burying his face into the Inuzuka's neck and breathing deeply "Mmm I missed you." he mumbled happily, trying not bump his eye against the brunette.
Kiba inhaled Naruto's scent as they embraced. He enjoyed the familiar smell of Ramen and the boy's natural scent that he had gotten so used to but there seemed to be a hint of something else.
It was a faint smell but Kiba picked it up nonetheless, it smelt slightly of sand which was expected but there also seemed to be something that Kiba just couldn't put his finger on. It smelt like oil or something... maybe an ink... or it could have been paint of some sort.
Kiba wore a puzzled look for a moment but shook his head to clear his mind, rubbing his chin along Naruto's blonde hair.
"I missed you too Naruto..." Kiba murmured slowly, enjoying his presence and being back in his home.
Naruto smiled keeping Kiba close to him "What have you been up to while I have been gone? I hope you haven't gotten into too much trouble" The blonde joked planting small kisses down Kiba's neck and burying his face into Kiba's chest. He could smell flowers; the blonde shrugged off the scent and just rested listening to the brunette's heartbeat.
"Me and Akamaru spent the day at the park." Kiba informed. "We'd been on a whole tonne of missions ever since you left... And I've been hanging out with Ino for a while. She was kinda bummed since she couldn't end up going on that mission with Shikamaru and Choji."
Naruto smiled pulling back and looking at Kiba "That's why you smell like flowers… At least I don't have to worry about you cheating on me with Ino." Naruto said ignoring the dull pain around his eye.
"Oh? Why's that?" Kiba grinned cockily.
Moving back slightly so he could look into Naruto's eyes, Kiba shifted the pair so Naruto sat with a leg on either side of Kiba's own. Kiba raised a hand, gingerly running a single finger along Naruto's black eye and watched as the blonde winced.
"I've got big muscles," Kiba smiled playfully and flexed, pushing his chest forward. "I've got good looks and a big dick. I'm a fucking stud."
Naruto happily moved onto Kiba's lap, wincing when he touched the tender bruise. His hand raised to Kiba's softly putting his hand on the Inuzuka's.
"Too bad you like men; all the girls can do is swoon…" Naruto smiled one hand training down Kiba's flexed muscles and over his chest.
Slowly, Kiba raised his free hand and grasped Naruto's wondering hand tightly. He looked into the other's pure blue eyes for a moment, confusion on his face,
"Naruto… You know I don't just like guys, right?" Kiba asked slowly, not knowing if the blonde had just been joking or not. "I mean yeah, I dated Kankuro for some time and now there's this with you but… I've dated women to. Didn't you know that?"
Naruto stared while Kiba talked "N-no… I did not know that." The blonde mumbled looking away "You didn't tell me that the Suna ninja you dated was Kankuro either…" Naruto said dropping his hands in his lap and staring at them instead of Kiba.
"I didn't really think it mattered," Kiba shrugged but then ducked his head to try to meet Naruto's gaze. "I mean... It isn't like there is anything between us anymore. He's moved on and I've moved on too. I have you."
"Well he has a pretty mean right hook…" Naruto said meeting Kiba's eyes "I told Gaara about us, and Gaara was really happy that I found someone. He told Kankuro who found me and proceeded to kick the crap out of me." Naruto mumbled the last part "I had no idea what was going on, Gaara pulled him off me with his sand." Naruto looked down at his hands once more; he didn't want to lie to the Inuzuka.
Kiba sat silently all of a sudden, head down and glaring at nothing. Slowly his grip on the blonde's hands began to tighten, unintentionally hurting him with the tightness.
"That... That piece of shit," Kiba growled darkly, claws digging into the back of Naruto's hands. He bit his lip with his sharp canines, wounding himself and causing blood to run down to his chin. "Even now he..."
Kiba pushed Naruto off him, to the side so he landed on the couch. He clenched his fists tightly, claws digging into the palms of his hands and making them bleed, four cuts on each hand. In his anger, Kiba punched the wall, creating a dent but not going all the way through.
"Even now! After so FUCKING long!" Kiba roared, enraged. "He goes ahead and thinks he has an opinion! Thinks that he can go and BEAT my partner!"
The blonde stared wide eyed as he felt Kiba's hands tighten around his "ouch…" He mumbled. He was soon pushed back onto the couch and stared at Kiba, he stood watching the brunette pace and yell in anger. Naruto looked at him sympathetically. Slowly the blonde walked to Kiba and wrapped his arms around the Inuzuka who was shaking with anger. "You still haven't kissed me yet…" Naruto said attempting to distract him and kissing his cheek tenderly.
Instead of answering with words, Kiba pushed Naruto's arms off him. He then grabbed the blonde's hips, lifting his body and pushing it hard against the wall and pressed against it with his own.
Kiba forced his lips against Naruto's. Hard. The taste of blood was already soaking his lips as he passed it on to Naruto, biting his bottom lip to make him open his mouth before pushing his tongue in.
For now it was the safest release for the Inuzuka's anger and he could feel himself begin to calm down as he made out with Naruto, his anger turning to physical (if not slightly abusive) affection.
At first Naruto thought that Kiba was rejecting his affections, until he was grabbed and lifted against the wall he gasped slightly his eyes wide watching Kiba as his lips crashed against his own. He could taste the blood from Kiba's lip and opened his mouth allowing Kiba's tongue to explore his mouth. Naruto's eyes closed kissing Kiba back just as fiercely, his hands sliding up the Inuzuka's back one hand entwining fingers into his brunette locks.
"You have..." Kiba started, pulling back his head and beginning his assault of sucking, lightly biting and licking at the blonde's neck. "How much I've missed you Naruto..."
Something sparked at the back of Kiba's brain, a memory that was similar to this very moment. It was of his time back when he was with Kankuro, caught in almost the exact same position as this except Kiba was the one against the wall like Naruto was now, and Kankuro was the one in charge.
Kiba remembered what it had led to... how one moment they were against the wall making out... and the next moment Kankuro was on top of Kiba, thrusting into him even though he wasn't ready for it. Kiba recalled all the things Naruto had said in their relationship... about how he wasn't ready... about how they needed to slow things down... and as much as Kiba wanted this right here and right now... He didn't want to end up losing Naruto just so he could get his rocks off.
"We should... probably slow down a bit..." Kiba murmured, pulling away from Naruto's neck and getting progressively angrier at his sense of morals, the blushed look on Naruto's face calling to him. He would have gone straight back to it if the bruise of the black eye didn't remind him why he stopped.
Naruto moaned lightly having his neck exposed, he couldn't reject the Inuzuka now the forcefulness of his actions leaving him blushing and flustered. "I've missed you too…" Naruto mumbled his voice sounding fragile but urging.
The blonde felt Kiba pause, his gaze turned to the Inuzuka's "W-we should…" Naruto murmured still clinging to the Inuzuka, he didn't want to let go of the brunette it had been way too long since they had contact.
Kiba walked back from the wall, carrying Naruto with him. He carried the blonde to the kitchen and set him down on the counter, quickly kissing Naruto full on the lips but withdrawing with a sharp and annoyed sigh.
"I need to get some bandages," Kiba stated, holding up his hands and showing the puncture marks from his claws.
Naruto wrapped his arms around Kiba's neck as he was carried to the kitchen and placed on the counter kissing him back. He stared at the Inuzuka his eyes filled with worry as he took Kiba's hands in his and kissed the small deep marks. The blonde jumped off the counter and reached for the first aid kit under the sink, opening the box and retrieving some bandages.
Setting the box beside Kiba he stood close to the brunette taking one hand and bandaging his wounds, Naruto stood close to him kissing the bandage when he was done with one hand before silently starting on the other.
"My very own Nurse Naruto," Kiba chuckled at the thought, stopping as he pictured Naruto in nothing but a doctor's coat and then moving to a sexy nurse uniform but then shaking his head to remove the image. "Sorry about this…"
Naruto smiled and leaned in to kiss Kiba tenderly. "It's fine, I shouldn't have told you. I just didn't want to lie to you… You mean too much to me." He said pushing himself again the Inuzuka embracing him happily.
"So, can I stay here tonight?" Kiba asked as Naruto embraced him. "As much as I love the compound... here is just so much better."
"Of course you can stay; I want you to live with me…" Naruto said smiling happily. "Plus I missed you too much to let you go now." Naruto said his grip on Kiba tightening as he buried his face into the Inuzuka's chest still being wary of his tender eye. The blonde thought back to their conversation that Kiba was Bi not gay, this made Naruto heart drop smelling the flowers on Kiba's shirt once more and pulling his face away from Ino's scent.
Kiba noticed the blonde's weird reaction to his shirt and grew confused. He admitted that it was an old shirt… and he hadn't washed it for a while… and there was a hole in the side… well a few…
"You don't like the shirt?" Kiba asked, seeing why he would but not the actual real reason.
Not caring, Kiba pulled away slightly and lifted his shirt over his head, revealing his muscular chest. Kiba smiled cockily and stared at the blonde.
"Is this better?"
"No I like the shirt, it looks well loved…" Naruto said "It just smells like… Uhh it just smells different." They had already been through too much for one night he didn't want to bring up the fact that he must have been close to Ino for her scent to be on his clothes and the fact that he also likes women.
"Much better…" The blonde said nodding and running his hands over Kiba's muscles.
"I thought you might like this better," Kiba smiled, kissing Naruto softly. "I've been on plenty of missions all week. Made quite a bit of money."
Naruto smiled his hands still tracing the muscle lines over Kiba's chest and arms. "This last mission got me quite a bit of a raise, Tsunade-sama paid me quite well." He grinned looking up at Kiba, "Maybe we should start looking for a place of our own?"
"Yeah…" Kiba nodded, placing a light kiss on Naruto's lips as he felt the blonde trace across his skin. "We may not end up with a perfect place… But we'll have our place."
Naruto smiled into the kiss, "Our place… That sounds good." Naruto said happy that the thought of the two of them living together had calmed down Kiba's rage about the bruise. "Akamaru wouldn't mind living with me too right?" He asked hoping that the canine would be okay with that.
"We could look for a small house instead of a apartment..." Kiba suggested, it would cost a bit more but it would be worth it. "That way Akamaru could have plenty of outside space and we wouldn't have to worry about other people walking past our door all the time... we wouldn't have to keep quiet."
Naruto was smiling like an idiot at the prospect of the two of them owning a house together. He was right it didn't need to be extravagant it would be theirs. "That sounds great, I am sure my neighbours know your name quite well by now…" Naruto said with a smirk.
"Yeah they do," Kiba laughed. "I reckon' they'll be sad to hear us go… they must have gotten used to the noise by now, right?"
"They'll defiantly notice when we are gone…" Naruto said laughing and leaning against Kiba's chest. "I can't wait to live with you." He said smiling up at Kiba.
"Hm, I pretty much already live here," Kiba laughed, putting his arms around Naruto's back. "Though I guess… I don't actually own anything here…"
"I don't mind if you wear my clothes, they show of your body more…" Naruto said with a grin.
"And I like you in no clothes…" Kiba smirked. "It really shows off your body."
Naruto laughed "Oh I know you do." The sun was down now, he hadn't realised how late it was until now. Akamaru was fast asleep on the couch and Naruto found himself yawning.
"I think you should get some sleep," Kiba smiled as he ran a hand through the blonde's hair. "You must be really exhausted."
Naruto mumbled incoherently "sleepy…" He liked having his hair played with; it had been a long day and a very long journey back to Konoha. He detached from the Inuzuka grabbing his hand and walking to the bedroom.
Kiba followed, smiling slightly at the sleepless affection Naruto was giving him through a simple gesture. Allowing himself to be lead, Kiba entered the bedroom behind Naruto, leaving the door open.
Naruto landed on the bed and pulled Kiba down with him, the blonde snuggled up close to the Inuzuka and buried himself into Kiba's chest and pulling himself against him.
Kiba happily accepted Naruto's warm body against his, pulling it closer and wrapping his arms around his back. Slowly he started to run a finger along Naruto's shirt, blankly drawing lines as his eyes remained open. He wasn't tired, but he enjoyed just being able to hold the blonde.
"Mmm I missed you…" He mumbled into Kiba's chest kissing his bare skin happily before slowly drifting to sleep in his arms feeling completely safe.
"I missed you too Naruto," Kiba murmured, lying quietly with the blonde until he too fell asleep.
