Note from the Author: I'm on a roll today. Deal with it.

Porny: Oh, my God. I wanted to destroy FF dot net. It took me forever to get the first chapter of "Surrender" up – and then it took me forever and a day to get "Different" up. I almost killed myself. -.- But on the bright side! You're the first to review! waves Porny flag and hugs you

Covering

Kiba liked Shino's coat.

Shino's coat hid the scars on Shino's arms.

The scars on Shino's arms reminded Kiba that he couldn't protect him.

Of course, Shino was a talented ninja and didn't need to be protected. But Kiba wanted to protect him – because that's what one does for any member of his pack.

Yes, Kiba considered Shino part of his pack – his mate even. So it killed him a little that he couldn't be there to save him.

Of course, he felt better after he'd voiced his worries and Shino had promised that all he wanted was for Kiba to lick his wounds.

Additional A/N: Random thing that popped into my head. It's not even well-written. I just liked the idea.
