Hinata and Shino ate quietly while Kiba argued with Hana.
"We were outnumbered! We took 'em out eventually!" Kiba shouted, teeth gritting. Hinata and Shino gave one another a knowing look.
"Who cares? I can't believe an Inuzuka would let another dog user get the best of them!" Hana barked, eyes squinted at Kiba.
"You two need to stop. Now," Tsume growled, hands gripping the edge of the table.
"You baby him, mama!" Hana growled back, nose scrunching. "He needs to hear it when he's screwed up! Look at Akamaru!" Akamaru whined from the corner with a bandaged foot.
"He's fine! You're just a hag!" Kiba shot to his feet and Shino sighed. Hinata grabbed Kiba's forearm, forcefully.
"Kiba. Stop." Kiba softened at Hinata's beckoning, eyes locked with Hana who had also gotten to her feet.
"Better listen to your little princess, Kiba," Hana mocked, drumming her fingers.
"Hana, back down," Tsume hissed, eyeing her daughter. "Kiba, apologize. Now."
"Kiba…" Shino huffed, gaze bouncing between him and Hana. Kiba relaxed his muscles in Hinata's grip, and her grip loosened, as well. "Apologize to your sister. Your words are unbecoming."
"Shit, Shino!" Kiba snapped, frowning.
"Your team has more sense than you, boy," Tsume grumbled, sitting back down as the tension eased.
"Kiba, please," Hinata pleaded, and Kiba smirked down at her. Hana rolled her eyes.
"Whipped, eh." Hana sat back down. Kiba shot his eyes back up.
"TAKE IT BACK!" Kiba shouted, leaping over the table. Hinata and Shino frowned at one another, deep sighs escaping as they both lifted to grab Kiba, Tsume straddling Hana.
"You two need to go to the training ground, now." Tsume's voice was serious, and the two wiggled out of the grips of their respective captors.
"Let's go, bitch," Hana growled.
"See you there, asshole," Kiba snapped back.
"Keep an eye on them, will you?" Tsume looked at Hinata and Shino.
Both bowed and replied before taking off, "Ms. Tsume."
