Rain
The rain had fallen hard and fast that afternoon, sheeting down from the sky.
They'd been caught out in it finding a ledge of rocks which barely covered the three of them.
It hadn't lasted long but the steam it left behind after washing away the day's heat lingered.
So had the puddles.
Akamaru smelled…good…like a wet, clean dog should smell.
He shook furiously, wanting to share with his teammates.
Hinata laughed, even though she was soaking herself she still tried to dodge the drops.
Kiba took her hand and they ran to his house splashing through puddles, racing Akamaru.
