Author's Note – Nothing much to say for this chapter…

(Previously)

"Kiba, wake up you lazy bu-" Hana started as she opened the door, but stopped when she looked in the room and saw Kiba running around the room in his boxers, and someone else in the bed, obviously naked, and obviously a guy. "K-Kiba?"

"Hana, I can explain!"

(Now)

"I-It's not what it looks like!" Kiba said franticly, glancing over at Kankuro, who was now out of the bed with a sheet wrapped around his waist.

"Yes it is," Kankuro said calmly, earning a glare from Kiba. "Hey, don't look at me like that, she would've found out eventually… or heard, considering how loud you are during se-"

"Don't even finish that sentence, I DON'T want to know," Hana yelled, clamping her hands over her ears.

"Ok, ok, fine, I won't say it." Kankuro said, watching Hana pull her hands away from her ears.

"Ok, Kiba explain, now… and you…" Hana said, pointing at Kankuro, "Go sit over there."

"Ok, fine," Kankuro said, rolling his eyes, "but I don't see what there is to explain…" He finished, shrugging as he sat down on the bed.

"Who is that?" Hana asked Kiba, pointing a finger at Kankuro.

"His name is Kankuro."

"And why is he in your room naked?" Hana asked, looking at Kiba, waiting for an answer.

"Because we're playing a game called 'Let's see who can take of their clothes the fastest'… Why do you think I'm naked?!" Kankuro said from his position on the bed, earning a "Shut it" from Hana.

"Ok I'll just say it… Kankuro is my boyfriend and I really like him and he makes me happy, so please, please, please don't be mad and PLEASE don't tell mom!" Kiba pleaded, almost to the point of tears.

"Calm down, I'm not mad…just…surprised I guess, and I won't tell mom."

"Oh thank god!"

"I'm not going to tell mom because you're going to tell her," Hana said with a seriousness Kiba had never heard from her.

"But… I don't want to tell her,"

"Well you have to."

"B-but-," Kiba started, then stopped when Kankuro started to speak.



"Don't worry Kiba, everything will be fine, and when you tell your mom I'll be right by your side for comfort and to help." Kankuro said walking over to Kiba and putting his hands on the younger boy's shoulders.

"You haven't been much help so far…" Kiba mumbled.

"Hey, I was just stating the obvious." Kankuro said, "But next time I'll be more cautious with what I say."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"Good," Kiba said as he turned around and kissed the older boy, nibbling on his lower lip briefly before pulling away. "Now get dressed, we still have to get groceries today."

"Oooh, I'll go with you two," Hana said cheerily, "and I'll drive."

Once Kankuro was dressed the three walked back downstairs, and Kiba ran to the kitchen to get the grocery list, then they walked outside and got into Hana's car.

"I hope you like country Kankuro, 'cause that's what we're going to listen to." Hana said, putting a cd in and going through the songs, "this one is perfect," Hana said as 'International Harvester'(1) started to play.

"Noooo, I hate this song, can't we listen to something else," Kiba groaned.

"I don't see what's so bad about it, it doesn't seem like a bad song," Kankuro said glancing over at Kiba.

"You'll see…" Kiba said.

(1 Minute later)

Kankuro sat in the car with a facial expression of both shock and disgust as he stared off into space, "This song is probably… the most… retarded song… I have ever heard…"

"I TOLD YOU! Now pleeaaase change it Hana!" Kiba pleaded.

"Not gonna happen," She said with a smile.

When Hana pulled into the grocery store parking lot and parked, both boys jumped out of the car and shut the door, sighing with relief.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to country music again…" Kankuro said.

"Oh hush, now let's go," Hana said, stepping out of the car. They walked into the store and walked around for a few minutes as Kiba grabbed a few things off the list, and then Hana decided she wanted to ask some questions. "So, Kankuro, since you're dating my brother I want to know some things about you… Like, what's your favorite color? Favorite food? Type of music? Do you do drugs? Have you ever been arrested?" She kept asking questions, barely giving time for Kankuro to answer; he glanced over at Kiba with pleading eyes and mouthed "Help me" but Kiba just smiled and turned back to the grocery list.

"Are there any things you two want?" Kiba asked after he had gotten all of the things off of the list.

"I could go for some pudding(2)… or maybe some chips…" Kankuro said.

"Get whatever you want."

"I'm going to go get some ramen noodles and some rotisserie chicken," Hana said before taking off through the store.

When Hana and Kankuro got back from getting the things they wanted the three headed to the cash registers to wait in line.

"Your total is 89.50," The cashier said as he rang up the last of the groceries.

"Ok," Kiba said, handing the man a 100 bill.

"You change is 10.50, Have a nice day and thank you for shopping at 'Cost Cutter'," The cashier said, giving Kiba the change. The three grabbed the bags of groceries and carried them to the car, and then Hana sat in the driver's seat and Kiba and Kankuro sat in the back. The drive back to the house was relatively quiet, Hana decided not to turn on the radio because she didn't want to hear Kiba and Kankuro complain, and the two boys just sat in the back and made out the duration of the ride home.

"We're here, now break it up and help me carry the stuff in," Hana said.

The two got out and grabbed some of the bags and carried them into the house, then set them down and went to get more. After making more trips back and forth to get the rest of the bags, they started putting the groceries up. After a few minutes they had everything put away.

"Wow, it's already seven, I should get going," Hana said as she glanced at the clock. "Bye Kiba, bye Kankuro, it was nice meeting you."

"Bye," They both said as they watched Hana walk out the door.

"I should get going too, I'll see you at school tomorrow," Kankuro said.

"Ok, bye," Kiba said hugging Kankuro and kissing him briefly before the older boy walked out the door.

After the two were gone Kiba fed Akamaru and played fetch with him. After he was finished he brushed his teeth, took a quick shower, then went to bed. 'Aaah, life is good,' Kiba thought as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Note – Ugh, once again I feel like this chapter wasn't very good. I need to stop being such an emo worrywart…

– Ok, I can't stand the song 'International Harvester' In my opinion it has the dumbest lyrics in the world… (Sorry country fans)

– I really like pudding… and happened to be eating it at the time I wrote that sentence.

Please review! Ciao!
