"Hope the pizza guy didn't get stuck out there..." muttered Kiba, his stomach growling loudly.

"Yeah, but you gotta give the poor guy credit. In this weather i'm surprised that they'd even deliver."

"Right..."

Akward-ish silence...

...well, akward for Kiba anyway. Naruto's eyes we glazed again and it was obvious that he had spaced out.

"He's turning into Shikamaru..." thought Kiba. Akamaru wondered by, having just woken up from a very nice nap. He stopped and stared at Naruto, as if just now realizing he was there.

"What the...?" wondered the pup. "When did the blonde one show up?" He walked over and jump up on the couch next to Kiba. "When did he get here?"

Kiba glanced down at Akamaru. "How did you not notice him before?"

"Ugh...maybe becuase i've been asleep all day. When did he get here?"

"Akamaru, you are a moron. He's been here for nearly a week now."

"Baka. I've been at you dad's all week, remember?"

"Oh yeah... I forgot."

"Again, baka. I'm gunna go eat now..." He jumped down and walked over to his food bowl.

"Akamaru you moron. I have got to stop letting you hang out with Shikamaru..." He looked up and noticed Naruto watching him. He stared back, waiting for the other to say something.

"Kiba?"

"Yes Naruto?"

"What were you two talking about?"

"Huh?"

"You and Akamaru, what were you talking about. You were saying something about me and then you switched from English into what ever you call that dog language."

"I did? I'm sorry Naruto. I don't even realize when I do that anymore."

"It's okay. I was just wondering what you were talking about anyway."

"Nothing really. Akamaru hadn't realized you where hear and he asked how long you had been here."

"He didn't know I was here?"

"Yeah, he's been getting kinda spacy since i started letting him hang out with Shikamaru."

"Oh, okay then."

Again with the akward silenece...

"Um...Kiba..."

"Yes Naruto..."

"I um...Well...I..." He choked out. "I just wanted to say...I really appriciate all you done for me. I know i've been mean and even evil to you before, and I'm really sorry for that, but I really thankful for everything you've done. You really are a great friend."

"Well Naruto, I enjoyed all those pranks and fights and stuff you used to do. Actually, I looked forward to them. They really were the best ways to spend the dat back then."

"Yeah, we sure had some fun times back then."

Nostolgic silence...

"Remeber that time I hid in the tree and poured ice water all over you?"

"Oh yeah, I remeber all to well. If it hadn't been hotter than hell that day I prolly would have killed you. Honestly, I was glad you did. I felt like I was gunna have a heat stroke."

"Well, if you hadn't always worn that coat of yours then you wouldn't have had that problem."

"Hey, leave my coat outta this. For that matter, I didn't have my coat yet! You can't rip on me for that."

"Hehehehe, I know you didn't have it yet. I was hoping you would catch that."

"Ha-ha. I'm smarter than that you bugger."

"I know. I just like to mess with you."

Kiba chuckled, "Little bugger. One of these days you're gunna say something really stupid and I'm gunna slap you."

"No you won't."

"Wanna bet?"

"Hey, remeber who kick you're ass in the Chunnin exams."

"That was along time ago. I've gotten strong since then."

"Yeah, but no where near as strong as me."

"Just wait untill the weather clears. Then we'll see who's stronger."

"You're on."

Knock

Knock

"And that will be the pizza..." said Kiba as he stood up and walked toward the door.

"Took him long enough..."
