Chapter Music: New World by Back-On
Kankuro was all giddy and excited as he made his way to the lunch table that his friends were currently occupying. They just took one look at the smug look on his face and knew that something Kiba-related had happened. Kankuro told them that Kiba had invited him over and hinted at having a romantic evening (He left out the whole blowjob bit, he didn't want all his business aired out just yet).
"Yay for Kanky!" Ino applauded. When she noticed that the rest of their friends weren't clapping, she smiled but with a glare and uttered, "Everybody clap!" (Yes, I did just make a Siwon reference…). The boys gave half-hearted claps, but Kankuro knew that they were happy for him.
"Thanks. Everything is happening so fast, but in a good way I guess," Kankuro admitted, taking a bite of his lunch.
"That's how it all starts, fast. Then the next thing you know he doesn't call you in the morning and totally blows you off in the hallways and acts like you're just a little speck of nothingness that can be wiped off the table at any mome-" Sasuke started.
"Yes, yes, we get it! You're all hung up on Naruto. Maybe you should try, Iunno, talking to him?" Neji interjected.
Sasuke shot a pitiful glare at Neji, but sighed knowing that the Hyuuga was right like always. Ino rolled her eyes, "As much as I love talking about Sasuke's messed up life, we must focus attention on Kankuro-darling!"
"Hmm? Wha?" Kankuro uttered, taken aback.
"Yes! We must discuss outfit choice, cologne choice, hair style, EVERYTHING!" Ino said with stars in her eyes.
"Um, how about no? I'm just gonna be myself," Kankuro explained.
"Where's the fun in that?" Ino asked.
"In his pants apparently," Neji quietly uttered. The whole table erupted in snickers, earning weird glances for surrounding tables.
"But no really, you have to be all drop dead sexy so that Kiba will fall in love with you and never want to let you go," Ino chattered on.
"How about I just use my charm and natural dashing good looks?" Kankuro asked in all seriousness.
"… So yes, sexy outfit and a perfect 'come hither' look ," Ino continued, ignoring Kankuro's comments.
"Why am I friends with you again?" Kankuro questioned.
"Because you love me and I love you and we just click," Ino explained.
"I thought it was because you stalked him because you wanted him to teach you to paint so you could get Sai's attention," Sasuke interjected.
"Nope, I'm pretty sure it was cause we instantly clicked," Ino said a bit too quickly.
"No, cause I remember you were all 'Kankuro, please teach me to paint! Sai loves girls that can paint! Oh please oh please oh ple-'," Sasuke started, but Ino cut in.
"Oh my, looks like Naruto is in line to get more food. Maybe I should invite him over. Oh Nartuo!~" Ino called out to the blonde that was piling up a tray with junk food.
"Ahh!" Sasuke screamed and hid under the table just as Naruto looked over at the group at the mention of his name.
"Yes Ino?" Naruto asked.
"Oh nothing, just saying hi," Ino smiled wickedly.
"Oh um, hi," he said before paying for his snacks and heading back to his table.
Once he had left, Ino looked under the table. "Hiding under the table, Sasuke? That is very un-Uchiha like," Ino tsked the raved haired boy.
'"Shut up Ino! That was totally un-called for!" Sasuke shouted as he came up from hiding.
"You brought it on yourself, duck butt," Ino snickered.
Sasuke just mumbled angrily under his breath. Kankuro tried to stay as inconspicuous as possible so as to not draw attention to himself and his situation. Thankfully lunch was about to end so he murmured a quick goodbye to Neji and Chouji before stealthily sneaking away. As usual he was the first one to arrive at the classroom. Kankuro leaned against the wall next to the door and just loitered around. His thoughts drifted to Kiba, and he could feel himself grinning like a fool. He was still beaming when the teacher came and unlocked the room. He entered and took his usual seat and waited for the rest of the class (Or more, for a certain boy) to arrive.
As soon as Kiba entered, Kankuro was glowing with passion and worship for the younger teen. Kiba gave a little nod at Kankuro and the older male practically flailed in bliss on the inside. But on the outside he was all composted and gave the boy a little wave of his hand. Kiba sat down in his seat and Kankuro melted in his own. He spent the entire time in class drawing little hearts in his notebook. He'd scribble down Kiba's name then his own, but get too embarrassed and quickly erased it. He was startled by the sound of the last bell. His classmates were already packed and heading to the door. Kankuro blushed and hurriedly collected his belongings and shoved them into his bag. He darted out of the room and was surprised to see Kiba standing next to the door.
"Ready?" he asked Kankuro.
"Oh um, yeah…. You didn't have to wait for me," Kankuro uttered.
"No, no I didn't," was all Kiba said with a smile. Kankuro smiled as well and the two boys headed to the parking lot. "Do you know the way to my house?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah, I've had to drop Gaara off at your place a few times so I know," Kankuro said, though on the inside he felt like a stalker for knowing.
"Awesome, I'm bad at giving directions. I just stick to my instincts and they always seem to lead me to where I need to go, but when it comes to giving them to other people… Well, I'd probably drive them off a cliff," Kiba chuckled.
"Are you killing people to collect their insurance policies again?" Kankuro asked jokingly.
"Haha, well damn. Guess I've been caught," Kiba said continuing the joke.
"Do you need to get rid of me because I know too much?" Kankuro said.
"Hmm, well I could either do that or kidnap you and keep you chained up in my basement. And I'd only let you go when I need sexual release," Kiba said with a laugh. Kankuro was left a bit speechless after that last statement and all he could do was stare at the younger boy. Kiba noticed this and his cheeks darkened a bit. "Too far?" he asked.
"Not really, just a bit surprising," Kankuro finally said.
"What do you mean?" Kiba questioned.
"I just didn't take you for the S&M type," Kankuro stated as the two boys arrived at their cars (which were suspiciously parked next to each other).
"I-I'm not!" Kiba barked. His face was red from embarrassment. "We-well, I might like my hands tied up every now and then, but that's it!" Kiba said in all honesty.
All Kankuro could do was snicker at how precious and adorable Kiba looked. It warmed his heart to see this side of Kiba. "I'll have to remember that," Kankuro snickered out. Kiba puffed out his cheeks to signify he was pouting. "Hmm, well don't you just look cute," Kankuro said with a slightly perverted smirk.
"D-Don't call me cute!" Kiba stammered, his face turning even redder.
"But you are cute, Kiba," Kankuro said slyly. He moved a bit closer to Kiba and lightly touched his cheek. He smiled as the heated flesh warmed his fingers. He smiled even more when Kiba didn't pull away, but rather leaned his face into Kankuro. If anyone were to walk by, they might have thought the two were a couple. As the thought occurred, a wave of panic ran through Kankuro's body and he quickly pulled his hand back. Kiba probably didn't want to other people to know about what they had been doing with each other. It was totally understandable, Kiba was supposed to be straight and Kankuro had made him do very un-straight things! (Even though Kiba asked him too, Kankuro thinks too highly of the boy to say that the dirty acts were set into motion by Kiba xD ).
"What's wrong?" Kiba asked a bit alarmed at Kankuro's sudden withdrawal.
"No-nothing, I just think we should each be heading home. I have chores to do before heading over to your place," Kankuro half-lied. He didn't want to make any more trouble for Kiba.
"I see, well then I guess I'll see you later today," Kiba said a bit more cheerily as he headed to the driver's side of his car.
"Later," Kankuro said doing the same. He opened his door and slid into the seat. He waited for Kiba to pull out first and gave a chaste wave which was reciprocated with a beep of Kiba's horn. Kankuro watched as the younger teen drove off and as soon as he was out of the parking lot, Kankuro gently laid his head against the steering wheel. "Ahhh, Kiba~" Kankuro dreamily sighed out. He was in an ecstasy that no pleasure could even dream to obtain. Kankuro was so very smitten at this moment that he didn't even notice the strange looks he got from a couple passersby. After recovering from his Kiba induced braingasm Kankuro finally drove off. When he arrived home, he was greeted by his brother and a certain blonde idiot.
"Hey Kankuro baby!" Naruto shouted from the couch as soon as the male walked in.
"Greetings Naruto. How lucky of us to be graced with your presence," Kankuro said sarcastically.
"Damn straight," Naruto called back cockily.
"Do you plan to eat us out of house and home, play video games, then go back to your own home again?" Kankuro asked slumping his bag onto a chair in the living room where Naruto and his brother were occupying.
"Nah, we're watching movies instead of gaming," Naruto retorted.
"Oh, my mistake," Kankuro replied rolling his eyes.
"Kankuro, soda," Gaara said all monotone.
Kankuro grumbled something about being a maid, but nonetheless he headed into the kitchen to grab his brother a soda. He grabbed two sodas (Cause heaven forbid if he didn't bring the idiot prince a drink) and a juice for himself before returning to the living room. He handed the two boys their sodas (which they didn't thank him for… Ingrates) and sat on the love seat with his juice. He then proceeded to kill time by watching the stupid movie that Naruto had brought over. Coincidently, the only one who was entertained by the movie was Naruto. Kankuro almost jumped for joy when the end credits appeared.
"Ahh, that was a good movie," Naruto said standing up, a few of his joints popping.
"Oh yeah, a real gut gripper," Kankuro commented as he and his brother exchanged looks of utter boredom.
Without a word, Naruto headed over to where Kankuro was sitting. Gaara followed the blonde with his eyes as he sat right next to Kankuro. The older boy raised an eyebrow at the blonde, "Um, hi?" Kankuro questioned.
"I have a question for you," Naruto said leaning in closer.
"…. What?" Kankuro asked not liking where this was going.
"What's up with Sasuke?" Naruto asked in a serious tone. At this, Gaara stood up and headed into the kitchen which made Kankuro feel just a bit uneasy.
"What do you mean?" Kankuro said.
"Like, does he have a boyfriend now or something?" the blonde said looking Kankuro straight in the eyes.
"Nope, unless you count his delusions," Kankuro said with a chuckle. When Naruto didn't laugh, he just felt uncomfortable.
"Does he…. Have anyone he likes?" Naruto asked, his deep blue eyes brimming with curiosity.
"I'm pretty sure he does, but he doesn't really talk about those kinds of things," Kankuro said looking away from Naruto, not wanting to get involved in the two's dysfunctional relationship.
"I see…" was all Naruto said before getting up and heading into the kitchen where Gaara was.
Kankuro blinked a few times, only slightly confused by the conversation. Maybe Sasuke still had a chance for love… But Kankuro didn't think about it anymore. He looked at the clock and decided that it was a good time to go meet with his own perplexing love life. He grabbed his key and called out to Gaara that he was heading out. When he didn't hear any response he just shrugged and left the house.
As Kankuro drove to Kiba's house, he grooved out to some of his favorite songs trying to calm his nerves. It was actually working up until he pulled into the driveway of Kiba's place. Nervousness and fear gripped at his insides and he contemplated driving off. But he couldn't do that to Kiba. That would most defiantly give the boy the wrong impression. Kankuro did as much as he could to delay getting out of his car. He did everything from turning his lights off, to adjusting his stereo, and even cleaning his windshield. Once every stalling technique had been played out and he had turned his car off, Kankuro gathered his courage and got out of his car.
'Phew, the first step is always the hardest,' Kankuro thought to himself as he closed his door. He then looked at the little pathway that lead to the front door. 'Though, all those steps look pretty hard as well…' he said internally as he felt the courage slipping away from his internal hands. Through some miracle, he started to walk towards the front of the house. His mind was thinking of all the scenarios that could happen from that moment onwards. He tried his best to focus on those so as not to think about arriving at his crush's house and being in his room and seeing where he ate and slept and jerked o-
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
'Shit!' Kankuro yelled internally as he arrived at the front door and knocked on it out of instincts. He didn't mean to do it, it just happened! Oh Gods what if he didn't answered the door? Oh Gods! What if he DID answer the door! Maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Maybe he could run back to his car and drive back home and cower in his room for the remainder of the night. Yeah, that's what he'd do. He'd just give Kiba an excuse as to why he couldn't show up! He could say that his stomach wasn't feeling good, that it might be cancer… Yeah, that'd work! (A/N: On that note, I'm not making fun of having cancer, I'm just using a line that was in Eyeshield 21. So no offence if offence was taken)
Kankuro was about to turn around and make a mad dash to his car, but the clicking noise made him stay glued to the spot. The door was opening and Kankuro was a nervous wreck. He stared straight ahead and almost toppled over when a woman appeared in front of him instead of Kiba. Kankuro assumed she was a relative of his seeing as she shared the same spiky hair as him, only a bit longer. Her features were almost identical to Kiba's and she even had the same triangle tattoo's on her cheeks.
"Whada'ya want?" came a harsh and shrill voice that made Kankuro think Temari was in front of him instead.
"U-um, here to see…. Kiba?" Kankuro mustered out.
"Ya here for Kiba?" the woman asked in the same voice.
"Y-yes! I'm Kankuro! Nice to meet you!" Kankuro somewhat shouted and bowed, though he wasn't quite sure why.
"Oh, you're Kankuro! Kiba has been talking about you for a few days now. Come right in," the woman said in a much softer and mellow voice.
Kankuro nodded and swiftly entered the house. He was scared of the woman's mood swings, having lived with Temari and Ino as a best friend he knew how quickly and easily woman could change. As he stepped into the house, he was hit with the smell of dog and food… And possibly dog food. The house looked worn out in a sense. Like lots of people (and animals) had lived there for a long time. This was all new to him seeing as he was used to his own house that sometimes looked like nobody lived in it. He stood in what looked to be a living room area and took in everything. The woman had closed the door and was making her way over to a staircase.
"Kiba! Your lil friend is here!" came the shrill voice of the woman again.
She then walked into the living room and plopped down on a couch. As soon as she sat down, a very large dog with only one eye walked past Kankuro. The dog looked up at him, as if sizing him up. He heard the dog grunt and it leapt onto the couch and sat besides the woman. She looked over at Kankuro, then back over at a TV that was on. She didn't really seem to mind Kankuro just standing there. Kankuro just looked around, waiting for his sexy boy to come and rescue him from awkwardness.
He could hear footsteps from above and some barking. Then there was laughter and more footsteps. Kankuro smiled to himself as he knew that laughter was coming from Kiba. He turned to look in the direction of the staircase and watched as Kiba jumped down at the bottom, followed by a large white dog.
"Hah, I beat you Akamaru," Kiba said patting the dog on the head. The younger boy then spotted Kankuro and ran over to him.
"Kankuro, you're here! I was thinking something came up," Kiba admitted.
"Ahehehe, no. I was just caught up watching a movie," Kankuro half lied.
"Well you're here and that's what matters. To my room!" Kiba said grabbing Kankuro's hand and pulling him up the stairs, the white dog in tow.
That'll be all for now. I was thinking about writing more, but I think this is a more appropriate ending. Besides you guys probably want this super bad….. At least you should want it bad….
Anyway! I hope you guys like this chapter. I know it took me forever to write but I've been preoccupied. I have a job now and responsibilities (not really) and a tumblr. And let me tell you, tumblrs are very high maintenance. I need to take care of it and…. Do stuff with it and….. Oh hell, I'm just lazy and I like using tumblr as my excuse for not getting shit done xD (If you'd like to follow me, my tumblr is .com )
And a special thanks to Barunka, who's recent review made me get off my lazy ass and finish writing this chapter. And a thanks to everyone who has read, reviewed, and favorite this story. It really means a lot! Thank you!
