Naruto was excited. He was going to be able to see Hinata, but more importantly he would get to see how Kiba acted around Rakuria when he was training. Would he act like she wasn't there? Or would he try to show off like any other guy in-front of their crush? He had told Sakura of his plan. She thought they would look adorable together. So, together they came up with this plan to have their teams train together.
Kiba was excited, scared, nervous, and…were those butterflies in his stomach? Why did Rakuria do this to him? No other girl caused him to lose his confidence like she did. He felt like everything he did wasn't good enough. Every time he caught her scent, he could barely control himself. And now he was going to train with her. Oh god what was he going to do. He could barely control himself as it is. He really needs to talk to his dad about this; his instincts were screaming at him to show her who's alpha.
As he walked next to Hinata and Shino, his stomach started flipping, and his blood became hot in his veins. He groaned internally. What was he going to do?
Rakuria couldn't shake the feeling that she was missing something. Sometimes, the aura Naruto emits when Kiba was around really scared her. Oh how she wished she could see his face, then she would know, kind of, what was going on. She felt Raikou nuzzle her head slightly, trying to comfort her alpha. Three sets of footsteps sent waves of white though her body, letting her know the other team had arrived.
Her stomach began to feel…funny when she realized it was Kiba's team. He was okay. She has only hung out with him with Naruto though. Although, she is cautious of him because Daichi doesn't seem to like him that much.
"Oi! You guys ready to get your butts kicked?!" Naruto yell asked while punching the air. Rakuria flattened her ears, but she didn't cringe like she use to.
She heard Kiba scoff as if it was the funniest thing he heard. "Yeah, right! You are going down!" Rakuria scoffed herself. Like that will happen, she thought.
"Alright the first match is Kiba versus Rakuria!" Kakashi announced. Rakuria got a smirk, knowing she and Raikou were going to shock everyone. On the other hand, Kiba's eyes widened. He was going to have to fight her? Would he be able to control his instincts? Akamaru barked at him in reassurance. He could do this, but he is so talking to his dad later. He watched as she walked to the center of the clearing looking completely bored. Her hips swayed with every step, causing Kiba to gulp. Her wolf 'pup' just glanced at him and Akamaru like they were nothing. Akamaru growled in response.
Kiba got into his fighting stance while Rakuria shifted her stance to a defensive one. Kiba smirked thinking she was scared of him. Finally, he thought, I'll show her I'm good enough. He pulled out a kuni and threw it at her.
His small movement sent a white wave of knowledge to Rakuria showing her which way to shift to avoid the kuni being thrown. She felt the whoosh of air as the kuni flew passed her arm. Pulling out her own, she jumped to the left. Letting them fly, she created a distraction for Raikou to sneak away. Raikou being able to transform came in handy sometimes.
Kiba caught the kuni thrown at him. He charged at her, Akamaru right behind him. He went to punch her. Her arm blocked his and she twisted to kick him. He caught her ankle and flung her to his left.
"Akamaru. Now!" Kiba yelled. Rakuria smirked. She was right in-front of Raikou. She saw in white waves as the dog bounded towards her. She crouched just as Akamaru jumped in the air to pounce on her. She heard Naruto and Sakura gasp in surprise. She brought her head slightly down, giving Raikou the signal.
Kiba watched as Akamaru jumped towards Rakuria. She would give up that easily, he wondered. Then the next thing he knew, a wolf a little bit smaller than Akamaru was above her head and lightning was coming off of its Ookami tattoo. The wolf went straight for Akamaru, tackling him to the ground. Kiba felt a sharp pain in his legs as he watched Akamaru get pinned to the ground. He crumpled to the ground. A heavy weight settled on his chest; he looked up just in time to see Rakuria put a kuni to his throat. A low growl escaped his lips, stating his distaste on their position. Her smirk just grew.
A yelp made its way to the two struggling canines. Their heads turned to see Raikou being tackled by Akamaru, his teeth sinking into her shoulder. She yelped in response. Akamaru immediately assigned to himself the role of alpha as he put Raikou into a submissive position.
"Raikou!" Rakuria yelled as she pushed off of Kiba to get to her wolf. Kiba smirked as she got off of him, allowing him to move again. He raced to get in front of her, effectively blocking her route to help out her pack mate. Her body tensed as she 'saw' this. She crouched into an attack position, her eyes becoming sharper, more golden, in rage. The pale yellow hues of her eyes becoming, molding, swirling into a fierce gold. She blinked rapidly as she adjusted to actually seeing again, before her lips pulled back in a vicious growl as her ears laid flat on her head.
The growl sent ripples of pleasure and anticipation through Kiba. He watched as her claws sharpened. In a blur she was before him, swiping her claws his way, aiming for his neck. He backed up with each of her swipes. With a flicker of his eyes, Kiba saw that Rakuria's wolf was starting to put up a bigger fight now that her alpha was fighting for her.
How dare He! How dare this Inuzuka think he can dominate her! She was her own alpha! And his damn dog was just as bad as him. I'm coming Raikou, don't you worry. Her thoughts were jumbled and sporadic. She couldn't focus on anything but the fact that she needed to get to Raikou and the dog was standing in her way. He needed to move.
Naruto thought everything was going great up until Kiba and Rakuria started going for each other's throat. How could this happen? Kiba liked her, right? Then why was he trying to kill her?
"Fucking dog! I said move!" Rakuria yelled as she sunk her claws into Kiba's face. She dragged them across his face; blood began to flow from the gashes. Rakuria jumped over him and headed towards Akamaru. Raikou started to struggle more, distracting Akamaru from her alpha.
Akamaru yelped as Rakuria slammed into him. Her claws enclosed around his throat as she knocked them to the ground. Her knees were jabbed into the dog's joints, causing him pain if he tried to move. An appreciated bark came from Raikou.
Kiba growled as he recovered. That bitch! She needs to learn her place! His claws and fangs lengthened at the thought. He spun around to see Rakuria tackle Akamaru off of Raikou. Raikou stood in his way as he stalked towards the Ookami on his dog. She bared her fangs at the male threatening her alpha. Kiba ignored the wolf as all his attention was focused on the bitch that wouldn't submit. He watched as Rakuria looked over her shoulder as another growl rumbled through his chest.
He smirked as her eyes narrowed. That's when he lounged.
Naruto couldn't believe it. He thought they liked each other, at least as a friend. But this…this was insane. They were practically almost killing each other. Something needed to be done before Kiba kills her.
"What's going on? I thought they were friends." Sakura said to no one in particular. She had never seen Kiba be so…vicious when fighting with a girl. Something was happening; she was sure of it.
Of course, Kakashi was the one to give an answer to the wide-eyed 16 year olds.
"They are both canines right?" Was all he asked. The group of teens looked at him with blank eyes, so he repeated himself.
"Yes. Rakuria is an Ookami and Kiba is an Inuzuka, so they come from different families." Shino replied.
"Not only are they from two different families, but she is a wolf and he is a dog. There is usually some…arguments between the two. It was amazing that this hasn't happened earlier. Although the weird thing is that this fight seems primarily about dominance." Kakashi supplied.
"Dominance?" Sakura asked as Rakuria clawed Kiba's face.
"Yes. Canines are pack animals. They follow the rules of their alpha and never question it. The males are dominate over the females. Although in wolf packs, Males have to fight for the dominance. While in dog packs the females usually just give males the dominance. That's probably why this fight has gotten so intense. Kiba is use to girls submitting to him, and she is used to fighting people who try to dominate her. So now this is a fight of instinct." Kakashi explained. I wonder how far this will go, he mused.
This is how she should be was the only thought that ran through Kiba's mind as he straddled Rakuria's stomach. His hands held her wrists to the ground effectively keeping her pinned. Her eyes had widened in surprise as he had pinned her, but now they narrowed in anger. Kiba inhaled her scent of vanilla. It was intoxicating. He leaned in, sniffing her neck, trying to inhale as much of her scent as he could.
Rakuria stiffened as he sniffed her neck. Wha… her thoughts were clouded and she knew this was wrong. As his nose grazed her pulse point, her thoughts cleared as if she was hit with cold water. Her lips pulled back in a snarl as a loud growl escaped her lips. His hands tightened around her wrists, so she did the only thing she could. She opened her mouth, exposing her sharp canines, and she sunk her fangs into his shoulder.
His head pulled away from her neck, his hands released her wrists, and his body jerked back giving Rakuria the momentum she needed to flip their positions. She pulled her fangs out of his shoulder and licked her lips free of his blood. Her knees dug into his elbows as she sat on his chest. She pulled out a kuni from her kuni pouch and brought it to his neck. Her eyes started to dull and her claws started to shorten. Her tail flicked back and forth tickling his stomach and teasing him. Kiba's body tensed as she leaned forward.
"I win," she said out of breath but a little too happy for his taste. She should be under him. They heard Kakashi say that Rakuria was the winner. Kiba watched as she put her hands on either side of his head, leaned slightly forward, then pushed to get up. Oh, he hoped she didn't feel the shudder she caused. He watched as she walked over to the wolf that had held its own against Akamaru.
Rakuria knelt before Raikou on one knee and pulled her into a congratulating hug.
"You did awesome Raikou," She whispered as she rubbed Raikou's ears. Raikou growled in a pleased way for both the rub and the praise from her alpha.
Sakura smiled. She had seen the way Kiba reacted to Rakuria when she was under him. He was almost begging at her to except him. He was sniffing Rakuria. Well at least she thought so. She knew canines had increased senses like smell. But she didn't know why he practically inhaled her neck. Maybe he did like her, and way more than both her and Naruto thought. And maybe…just maybe Rakuria liked him too.
"Oh yeah! Blind people can kick ass!" Naruto yelled, thrusting his fist into the air. He ran over to Rakuria as she stood up and patted her on the back. All Kiba could do was stare at her as he stood. She was blind? She was blind…yet she beat him? His instincts didn't like the fact that she beat him. They gave him oh so enticing images of what he could do to prove his status above her. Yet one thought occurred in his head that caused him to become almost giddy. She needed protecting…and he would be the person to protect her.
