Whew, sorry guys, this one is a little tardy. But finally establishes where they actually stand. Oh just for a little warning, pretty sure the next chapter will be lemony, not sure how much but there's gonna be something gonna on. Hope you guys don't have a problem with that. Enjoy this chapter though. Again I don't own the characters.
Kankuro reluctantly reached the guest room. He quickly got his ninja clothing on and realized he really didn't have much to pick up and pack besides the dirty clothes he had just changed. Instead of grabbing his things, he decided just to sit down on the bed. He didn't really want to leave, but he figured at this point it was for the best. Guess I'll just have to find someone else after all. The sand ninja frowned at the thought. The truth was he really didn't want anyone else. He then remembered how Kiba had referred to what had happened last night. Liked my method better, huh? His lips curled to a weak smile Maybe I do have a chance with him. He then resumed frowning after recalling how upset the dog ninja was Or at least I did. Kankuro let out a stressed sigh as his back collapsed against the mattress. "Maybe I'll just lay here for a few more minutes." he whispered out loud after yawning. His eyelids were growing heavy and before he knew it they had shut.
A sudden weight pressed against the sand ninja's stomach and thighs. "I thought you were going to leave." Kiba's voice boomed. Kankuro opened his eyes to the dog ninja, who was right above him. He then inspected the situation further. Kiba was currently straddling him and wearing a smirk on his face. This sight quickly sent the puppeteer's mind straight to the gutter. Dirty images and actions swirled throughout his head. No. stop thinking about that the sand ninja jerked out of his thoughts and snapped at the Inuzuka. "What the fuck are you doing on top of me!?" Kankuro shouted while barely squirming his lower half, trying to convince the dog ninja that he was not enjoying this position at all. "Hmm" Kiba uttered as he placed his palms down at Kankuro's sides and leaned closer "You're not fooling me, I know you like this. That's why you hesitated before scolding me. Isn't it?" Kiba accused the pinned down puppet master with his cocky attitude. Kankuro felt like he was sweating bullets but he managed to remain calm "Whoa now, Don't flattered yourself. I just woke up to you on top of me. I needed a few seconds to figure out what exactly was going on." the sand ninja stated with a somewhat condescending tone that irked Kiba. "Whatever, admit that you actually do want to stay another night." the dog ninja demanded while leaning closer, which pressed their bodies together. Kiba noticed that Kankuro's eyes widened for a quick second and then constricted back to normal before he responded. "Could have fooled me, it seems you're the one who wants me to stay." the puppeteer continued with that condescending tone that pissed the Inuzuka off. It was true that Kiba did want him to stay, but there's no way in hell he would beg the bastard to stay. In the moments those thoughts circulated through Kiba, Kankuro wrapped his arms around him. He then proceeded to forcefully flip the Inuzuka over. In doing so, he had lost his hat, but at that moment it did not matter. The roles were now reversed, the puppeteer was now on top of the dog ninja. "So is it true, do you want me to stay?" the sand ninja smirked at the man beneath him. Kiba's cheeks had already flushed red "You bastard, just get off of me!" he spat and to his surprise the puppeteer removed himself and had stood up.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now then. I'll just find some other person to escort me to the Hokage's residence." Kankuro reached for his bag and began to position it on his shoulders "Oh but I need to apply my face paint, so I'll be using your bathroom." the puppet master took a step forward only to find himself halted by a grab at his clothing.
"You don't have to go to an inn, they're so expensive." Kiba tried an excuse.
"I don't mind paying the price, if it's too much, I'll just go back home." the puppeteer stated. "But the storms are going to be rolling in still!" the dog ninja tried another excuse, although this one was true, he was running out of options. "Look, Kiba." Kankuro broke free of the Inuzuka's grasp and turned around to face him "I'll stay only if you-" before the puppeteer could finish his sentence it was abruptly cut off by Kiba's lips. The dog ninja quickly pulled away without a hint of regret "Does that work for you then?" Kiba questioned the shocked Kankuro. After a moment of silence he finally spoke "I can't believe you just kissed me, just like that." he said with disbelief. Kiba chuckled at the puppet master's statement. "Agh what's so funny!?" Kankuro responded, slightly angered by the dog ninja's laughter. "What are you mad that I made the first move, because you were too chicken to do it yourself?" Kiba stated mockingly as he finished with another chuckle. Kankuro flushed red this time but did not bother denying it "How long have you known?" he asked while making eye contact. "You're so obvious about it, when did I not know? Besides even if you did manage not to show it through your gestures and emotions, I could still sense the fluxuation in your pheromones every time I got close to you." Kiba finished his explanation. "Damn, I'm such a dumb ass. Of course you would be able to sense that sooner or later." Kankuro said with a sigh. "So, you'll stay and I will escort you to the Hokage's?" Kiba instigated. "Yes, I'll stay the night here, but before we take off to the Hokage's…" Kankuro leaned in and planted an assertive kiss on Kiba. The dog ninja kissed back but the puppeteer soon parted with the Inuzuka's lips "Your first kiss was way too much of a tease, I liked that one way better. Now I still got to get my face paint on too." He headed out of the room, towards the bathroom. "No, that was a tease!" Kiba protested while following the sand ninja "Why don't you just leave it off for today?" the dog ninja questioned. "Because I am representing the sand village and this is how I look when I am on my missions." the puppeteer scolded. "Well I think you look fine without it and without this. I should just give it to Akamaru." Kiba held up the sand ninja's hat. Kankuro glanced behind to see it and made a quick lunge, only for the action to turn up fruitless. "Ugh fine, I won't apply any face paint today, just don't do anything to my hat." Kankuro gave in easily. "Okay, I'll just keep it in my pocket for now." The Inuzuka said as he stuffed the hat in his left pocket. The two headed for the front door and put there shoes on. "Come on, Akamaru. We're leaving!" Kiba shouted. The dog barked a few times and raced up to meet the two as they were heading out the door.
