Chapter 2: The Project
Lifted by his neck Kiba kept his eyes closed. "I'll teach you to mess with me new kid!" The jock pulled back his first and swung into Kiba's lip. The rowdy crowd died down to a silence as the jock drops Kiba onto his ass. "Welcome to Cliffs Edge High School". Everyone walked off as a busted lipped Kiba sat in the corner eyes still shut.
"Go on to class." A calm almost bored male voice said as a female responded with a nod and kiss goodbye. "Here…I'll take you to the nurse's office." The boy said again.
"I'm okay." Kiba was lifted to the boy's side his good arm placed around the boys shoulder.
"Still, this gets me out of class… work is too bothersome." The boy responded as they began to walk down the hallway. "How did you manage to break your arm?"
"I hurt myself not to long ago, accidentally fell down my stairs." Kiba sighed. "It wasn't a big fall just half way and I landed on my shoulder." The scene reenacted through his mind. "Kiba you had best know your place in this town I won't stand for you humiliating me again!"
The boy stopped them Kiba's eyes gently opened. It was him… the boy from the park. The dog boy blushed and turned his face from the lazy boy beside him. "I'm fine, I am sorry I made you late for your class…" Kiba suggested and opened the door.
"What is your name?" The boy stared at Kiba yawning and scratching his head.
"Kiba Inuzuka." He blushed wondering why he wanted to know his name. "W…what is your name?" He had begun to stutter becoming nervous of the other boys presence.
"Shikamaru Nara." The yawning boy mumbled. "Okay hope your lip gets better, I'll see you later." With that statement he had turned and walked off.
Therapist's Office
"Shikamaru Nara" Kiba repeated to himself as the therapist looks over calmly.
"So tell me what happened after you were hit." The therapist had her note pad ready smiling at Kiba.
"My mother came and got me after I was taken to the nurse's office." Kiba sighed.
"Kiba about yesterday, I wanted to tell you…" The therapist began just to be interrupted.
"What… that I'm wrong and need to change for my family's sake?" Kiba said with a hostile voice.
"No… I believe how you feel for a type of person will never change, and that there is nothing wrong with you." She smiled at him. "Your mother is just too worried about her own pride and self-image. So these sessions we have will just be to talk about your day. Is that fine Kiba-kun?"
"I'd like that…thanks" Kiba smiled getting up and putting on his jacket. "See you next week."
Day Two: School
"My sister once told me I was born into this family just to carry on the Inuzuka name." Kiba stepped off the bus and walked inside of the school. "So let's see my first period, Chemistry." Kiba looked around as he walked down the hall to the room numbered "214".
Stepping into the classroom students talked among themselves as Kiba took the closest chair at a lab table. At that moment Kurenai-sensei stepped into the room in a long lab coat. She said nothing and wrote names on the board.
"Everyone pair up with the name on the board this is your first group assignment of the year." The class groaned as the students went and sat at a table with there partners. "I've set the groups up boy, boy and girl, girl to reduce the risk of sticking you with your date and causing a lack of work."
Kiba remained at his table looking at his partners name written on the board. There it was staring right at him "Kiba Inuzuka – Shikamaru Nara" Shikamaru looked at Kiba and sat down. Kiba's face lightly turned pink as he felt his words twisting before he even spoke as if to plot against him.
"What a drag… we have the hardest teacher for this class and it's just the second day." The lazy Nara signed plopping down into the seat beside Kiba holding himself up with one palm on his cheek against the cool table.
"I…ya…this sucks…" Kiba began to stutter as he stopped himself by biting his lower lip to calm himself.
"How's your busted lip." Shikamaru redirected the conversation.
"Its okay now, thanks again for the help." Kiba was on weak standing with his words.
"Kiba right? Working this early is a drag…" Shikamaru yawned. "How about we work on this at your place after school today?"
"Okay, of course that would be great my mother wouldn't mind." Kiba looked over at the sleeping Nara.
Writing his number and address down Kiba placed it beside Shikamaru. Kiba stared at Shikamaru resting and let out a pleasurable sigh. Thinking to himself "He is the one I want." The class came to an end as Kiba walked out of the room thinking to himself "Tonight I'll setup a friendship." Kiba smiled. "Tonight"
