Well guys, It's about time for another chapter, right? I have mixed feelings about this one, but I hope you guys enjoy and whatnot. It's starts off kinda funny but then ends-whoops going to spoil it, well here ya go anyway!
"Ugh, is that guy still sleeping!?" an irritated voice from a distance pierced through Kankuro's slumber. As he stirred, a savory scent filled his nostrils. "Akamaru, why don't you go give him a friendly awakening?" Kiba laughed as an overly enthusiastic bark responded to the command. The sound of clicking nails were rapidly approaching, before Kankuro had time to react the door was forced opened. "I'm up already!" Kankuro threw the covers off of his body and jumped to the floor before Akamaru had the chance to leave a slobbery lick across his face. The dog seemed to be smiling as he let out a few barks. "Okay, Akamaru as long as he's out of bed." The dog took that as his cue to leave the room. Kiba then continued on "Kankuro, Get your ass out here. Breakfast is ready!" The sand ninja's stomach growled, he placed his hand over his stomach Guess I am rather hungry. But just as he thought that he looked down at his hand and was instantly reminded of last night. Nervous questions circulated in his brain but a few were ferociously nagging Does he remember what happened last night? Were we still together when he woke up? How does he even- "Kankuro!" Kiba's pissed off tone was closer now. Kankuro glanced up to find the Inuzuka standing in the doorway with one hand perched on his hip and the other threatening him with a spatula.
"What the hell are you doing!? The food is getting cold!" The man scolded, still waving the kitchen utensil like it was a weapon. Kankuro couldn't help but smirk at the sight before answering, "Whoa now, calm down, Mr. Kitchen Samurai." the sand ninja's statement ended with a confident chuckle. "Oh, what!? You're in no position to be making wisecracks!" Kiba stated mockingly with a smug look. Kankuro's face became flustered and angered by his expression and statement. "What's that suppose to mean!?" Kankuro reached for the collar of Kiba's shirt to properly threaten the dog ninja, only to be stopped by Kiba's free hand. The Inuzuka lightly clenched the puppeteer's wrist. "Nevermind, the food is getting cold" he began pulling the sand ninja in the direction of the table. Kankuro could have easily freed his hand from the dog ninja's grip, but he was still contemplating what Kiba meant by his earlier sentence.
The two had finally arrived at the table "Now sit down and enjoy." Kiba commanded as he released the puppeteer's wrist. Kankuro unwillingly obeyed his command and sat down in the chair that was closest to him. Kiba quickly prepared a dish and placed it in front of him. The sand ninja began examining the plate, cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon that was perfectly crisped at the edges, a few lightly charred sausage links and two pieces of golden browned buttered toast. Whoa this looks amazing he thought to himself. He glanced up at Kiba, who had just prepared another plate "Here you go, boy!" He placed the plate at Akamaru's feet and had grabbed another plate for himself. The Inuzuka had finally sat down at the table across from Kankuro. He looked up to find out that the puppet master had yet to touch a single thing on his plate "What the hell, dude!? I make all of this food and you-" "I find it courteous" Kankuro interrupted "to wait to eat until everybody has their food." Kankuro finished as he picked up his fork. "Heh, of course you do." Kiba began eating soon after his sentence. The two sat there in an awkward state, only filling the air with sounds of metallic clicks, until Kiba spoke up. "You know, my sister usually slaps me across the face when I'm having nightmares, but I like your method a hell of a lot better than hers, it seemed way more effective." Kiba finished his sentence and looked up to observe Kankuro's reaction. The puppeteer had frozen and his heart started racing his sister slaps him awake? That solution would have been simple enough. he thought to himself. Okay, so he knows about the embracing and he's alright with it? Now what the hell do I say? Butterflies began to take over his stomach as he searched for a cool, nonchalant response. "Ah no problem, it's not like it meant anything else, we were both clothed anyway." Kankuro managed to spit out but soon regretted the last statement he had made and had received a very quizzical look from Kiba. Oh no. That was stupid, now that I said that, he's going to suspect something. I'm such an idiot. Now all Kankuro wanted to do was to take the attention off of that sentence before Kiba made any remarks. "Why do you have those nightmares anyway?" The question immediately changed Kiba's expression into a sadder one. "Well you see, I'm just afraid of thunderstorms, simple as that." he stuttered and glanced up shyly at Kankuro. "You're lying." Kankuro accused as he met the dog ninja's eyes. "Ah whatever man, just drop it." Kiba jumped up and frantically grabbed his dishes to toss them in the nearby sink "I'm going to go take a nap." he said while bolting towards his room. 'Eeesh that really struck a nerve.' Just as Kankuro thought that, he was nudged in the thigh by a whining Akamaru. "What you want me to go apologize? I didn't do anything wrong!" he snapped while staring at the dog. After a minute or two, Kankuro's guilt began taking over "Agh fine, I'll go say something."
The sand ninja made his way to Kiba's closed door "Go away! I don't want to talk right now!" a muffled voice sounded. Kankuro didn't bother to respond as he pushed the door open. Kiba was laying face down in a pillow. "What are you doing in here! Get out!" The dog ninja had jerked up and thrown the pillow at Kankuro. The puppeteer just let it hit him without showing any emotion towards the hostile action. He paced closer to the dog ninja, still not uttering a single word. "Get the hell out!" Kiba screamed as he rose up from his bed to violently push Kankuro to the door. The sand ninja had seen the film of water coating Kiba's eyes just as the Inuzuka's palms forcefully met his chest. Before Kiba could repeat the action again, Kankuro had wrapped his arms around the dog ninja "Look, I didn't know that it would upset you this much. I'm sorry." Those words surprised Kiba and had calmed him down. Now Kiba just wanted to continue hugging Kankuro but before he was able to embrace him back, the puppet master broke it off. "Thank you for the breakfast. I'll go pack my stuff now, I'm sure there's an inn that has a room available now." The puppeteer turned around and quickly left the room.
