I DO NOT OWN NARUTO
"You WHAT?" Kiba's mother yelled at him.
"I made love to Hinata last night." Kiba mumbled. He hung his head down and snuck a peek at her face. It was red and she was breathing hard. Not good, not good, he thought to himself. Jumping ahead in hopes of heading off the explosion he knew was coming he said, "We fell asleep watching the puppies, and she woke up crying and asking me why no one loved her. I couldn't help myself, I just blurted out how I felt about her, and the next thing I knew I was kissing her, and it was great…" his explanations trailed off at the dangerous gleam in her eye.
"Kiba, did you and Hinata use protection, and if not, did you come inside her?" She asked seriously with a slight blush on her face.
"Mom, that is personal! I am not giving you details, y-you pervert!" he yelled at her. She smacked him across the back of his head, and looked him dead in the eye.
"This isn't about being perverted, I have a good reason for asking. Now answer the question!" she commanded him sternly.
"No we didn't, and yes. Why does THAT matter? I've messed up my relationship with her because I couldn't be patient. What am I going to do?" He groaned into his hands.
He watched as his mother jumped to her feet and paced back and forth across the living room. She was pulling on her already disheveled hair and muttering to herself under her breath. The puppies were greatly entertained by her actions, and were taking delight in following her, biting playfully at her ankles. After several minutes of this, Tsume walked back over to the couch and sat down, facing Kiba.
"You know, your father has a lot to answer for. Didn't he ever tell you about what happens during the first mating?" she asked in disgust.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Kiba asked.
"Babies, babies is what I am talking about!" she yelled.
"B-b-babies?" Kiba stuttered.
"I don't know if it would work the same way for Hinata being as she is a Hyuuga, but for every woman of this clan, the first unprotected joining with a true mate results in a baby." She looked at him worriedly.
Kiba looked at his mother thunderstruck by the idea that he might have gotten Hinata pregnant last night. She has got to be saying this to keep us from having unprotected sex again. He starred intently into her face, searching for clues that she was just trying to scare him, but he realized that she was completely serious. Wow- and baby with Hinata! Sure he had thought about what it would be like to be a father one day, but it was always an abstract, something that would happen in the future. A grin formed on his face as he imagined a little boy with his looks and Hinata's eyes.
Tsume got even more worried when she saw the grin form on Kiba's face. I don't think that the seriousness of the situation is getting through to the kid, she thought to herself in disgust. I will just have to tell him straight up what can happen here. He needs to be prepared.
"Have you thought about what her father is going to say or do if she comes up pregnant? Hinata's clan is highly respected and powerful. There is a chance her father already has a marriage contract in place for her, which you just rendered null and void. Think the Hyuuga are going to take that lying down?" she yelled at him. Finally, she got a reaction out of him.
"I don't care what that man has planned, Hinata is MINE!" he growled.

Kiba waited at the training grounds for Shino. This was going to be another hard discussion, and he fully expected his best friend to attack him. Then again, Shino had always been unpredictable. He did have a large soft spot for Hinata, however, so regardless of his reaction this was going to be hard. He lifted his hand in greeting as Shino came into view. He was nervous about how his friend was going to react. Shino sat down beside him and waited patiently for Kiba to speak.
"I made love to Hinata last night." He stated baldly. An angry buzz in his ear was the only warning he received. In just a few seconds, his body was covered in thousands of chakra sucking beetles. Akamaru crouched down and began growling at Shino, ready to attack if necessary.
"It is not what you are thinking…she's my mate." He wheezed out as he lost consciousness.

Kiba woke up slowly. Beside him, Akamaru whined and licked his face. He looked up into Shino's face and wondered if he was imagining the apologetic expression on his face. Shino was always hard to read since he never lowered his collar or removed his sunglasses.
"Mate, eh? This does change things considerably. Why? Because it becomes a matter of need and not of selfish desire." Shino said, and this time Kiba was sure that he detected a hint of apology in his friend's voice.
"I always though that you two would be a good match. Your strengths and weaknesses compliment each other." He told Kiba encouragingly.
"Well, I really messed things up. She probably thinks I took advantage of her sorrow. I found her crying over Naruto and took her home with me, so that I could try and cheer her up. We fell asleep watching the puppies and she woke up all upset about no one loving her. I ended up confessing to her, and she started crying, so I kissed her to make her stop. It just went from there…I really didn't mean for things to go that far. I just wanted her to stop crying." Kiba moaned despairingly.
"Yes, it would have been much better if you could have exercised some self-control. This makes it more critical to proceed with caution. Because Hinata is so shy this has probably sent her into hiding." Shino said musingly.
"Shino what am I going to do? Mom says that first matings result in pregnancy! The idea of Hinata bearing my children makes me happy, but I am afraid of what her father may do to her!" Kiba exclaimed anxiously.
"Yes, that is a problem. Let me think." He starred off into the distance. Kiba waited impatiently, but didn't break the silence. Everyone gave Shikamaru the credit for being the genius of the Hidden Leaf village, but Shino was also a brilliant tactician. He was sure that Shino could come up with a plan to help him both win Hinata's affections and protect her at the same time. Almost an hour went by before Shino cleared his throat and turned to Kiba.
"This is what we will do. First, you must apologize to Hinata, then disappear." He stated matter-of-factly.
"WHAT? How is me disap-" Shino cut him off.
"One, Hinata will be too embarrassed around you to be objective, and two, she will need time to face and deal with her feelings towards you. The third reason, is to give her a chance to miss you." He said calmly. Kiba stopped to think about it. Wow, he really is brilliant, he thought to himself in admiration. Not that I would ever tell him that to his face. He is arrogant enough as it is.
"Also, I think that we should inform Kurenai-sensei of the situation. She will have to carefully watch over Hinata's training and mission levels just in case she is pregnant. You will also need her help to get assigned to a mission that will take you out of the village for at least two months." Shino added.
"Man Shino, I think you are right, but it is going to be almost as hard to admit to her what I have done as it was to tell Mom. She'll be really disappointed in me, and possibly violent. She is even more over protective of Hinata than we are." Kiba said ruefully. He got up slowly and walked back towards the village. He stopped and turned back to Shino.
"Hey, will you go with me? I may need protection." He grinned at his best friend beseechingly. Shino frowned slightly, thinking about how Hinata's father may react if he found out she was pregnant.
"On that note, you are not the only person that may need protection. I will have to dispatch my bugs to watch over Hinata. I think it is only prudent. The Hyuuga are a prideful clan that already disapprove of Hinata. Who knows what they may do to her if she becomes pregnant out of wedlock?" He said to Kiba.
"No one, and I mean NO ONE, better lay so much as a finger on my mate!" Kiba growled menacingly. Shino did not like the look of feral intent that was forming in Kiba's eyes.
"Let us go to Kurenai-sensei now." he said to distract his friend. The violent light in Kiba's eyes slowly dimmed as he thought of what his sensei would have to say to him. Although he often acted brash and uncaring around her, her opinion mattered to him almost as much as his mother's. Not to mention the fact that she had a tendency to get violent when she lost her temper….
