Love Wouldn't Be Love Without Obstacles

Part 13: I Guess This Is Goodbye

"It's okay" the brunette shinobi smiled. "Do you have any engagement rings?" he asked the old woman with a determined smile on his face.

"Yes! We do!" the woman responded with a warm smile. She walked over to a shelf and took out a metal suitcase. Inside the suitcase were 40, perfect, rings, each being shinier and prettier than the other. Kiba's eyes were shining, he wanted all of them.

"Hmm…" he looked at the rings, trying to pick one. "How much does that one cost?" he asked, pointing at a simple, golden ring. "10" the woman said. "What? Only 10?" Kiba was thinking to himself, getting excited. "-thousand" the old, gray haired lady continued. "What?" the brunette said in a confused tone. "It costs 10,000" she added, smiling.

Kiba walked out of the store with a disappointed face. "Ugh… 10,000? I can't afford that much…" he said, sighing. "Our 1 month anniversary is in 3 days" he added, looking down. Yes, it was only their first month being together but they both lived through so much crazy shit that Kiba was sure that Naruto was the person he wanted to spend his entire life with.

He walked passed a bulletin board but quickly ran back to it. "What? Hiring?" he said, looking at all the posters and ad's on the board. "2000 ryo? 1800? 5000?" Kiba was saying, looking at the rewards for some tasks. "Oh yeah! I'm getting that engagement ring, even it kills me!" he shouted, jumping into the air from excitement.

Meanwhile Naruto was waiting for Kiba to return. He was sitting at the table, the food getting colder. "I'm going to kill that bastard" the blond quietly said with an angry expression, looking at the clock.

The Inuzuka boy came to Naruto's apartment somewhere during the night, finding a sleeping Naruto on the couch, the plates with their lunch still on the table, the blonds' plate being empty. He stepped to the couch and gently bumped the blond, trying to wake him up.

"Naruto… Naruto wake up." Kiba said with a soft voice. "Wake up, sleepy head." He added.

The blond slowly opened his tightly shut eyes and saw his lover, kneeling in front of him. "Kiba-kun?" he said in confusion as he was still half asleep. He sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes with his hand. "What time is it?"

"It's 9:53pm" the brunette responded, smiling. He patted Naruto on his head, pecking him on the cheek. "Were you waiting for me, babe?"

"Don't 'babe' me" Naruto said, removing Kiba's hand from his head. He walked to his room and shut the door, locking it. "You can sleep on the couch tonight."

Kiba didn't understand anything. Why was Naruto so angry? "What's the matter with you?" he asked, trying to open the door.

"You can sleep on the couch tonight!" Naruto shouted, ignoring Kiba's question. He took off his pants and socks and went to bed, covering himself with the cold sheets, going into a fetal position.

"Hey, Naruto! Naruto!" the brunette was shouting, trying to open the locked door, without much success. He eventually gave up and sat on the couch, resting his hands on his thighs. "Is he mad because I didn't come back so quickly?" Kiba was wondering to himself. Damn Kiba, you're fast.

He stood up and turned off the light. He picked up a blanket that was lying on the couch, lied down and covered himself with it. It wasn't much but it would at least keep a little warm, just enough to get through the night.

The next morning Kiba woke up pretty early. He slowly stood up and walked over to the door leading to Naruto's room. He checked if it's still locked; it was. He let out a long, disappointing sigh and walked into the kitchen. The brunette made himself some coffee and walked over to window in the living room. He opened it and looked outside; it was raining. "The fuck? It's raining again?" he said to himself in anger. "But this can't stop me, I have to get the money!" Kiba was thinking, taking a sip of the fresh and warm coffee.

Later he walked out of the apartment, taking an umbrella with him, trying to get more money for the engagement ring. Even though he was making sure to close the front door quietly, Naruto still woke up in that moment.

He rolled over to the window and saw that it was raining again. The blond stood up and slowly walked over the door, unlocking it. He looked around the apartment to find Kiba and talk to him but he wasn't anywhere. But Kiba did leave something behind, a note. Naruto picked up the note and read it;

Hey angel,

I had some important things to do. Not sure when I'll be coming back, please don't wait again for me like yesterday.

Love you with all my heart and more!

Kiba

"Important things?" Naruto thought to himself. "What in the world could he be doing?"

The blond let out a sigh and grabbed a cup of coffee. He walked into the living room, turning on the television. He checked a movie channel where they played movies 24/7. Currently there was a movie about a teenage girl who just found out she was adopted. "This better be good…" he said with a bored, almost depressed voice.

Later when the movie was coming to an end, Naruto was crying his eyes out.

"Why did he have to go with that train? Why? He was the only one who loved her!" the blond was crying, looking at the television screen. The girl who found out she was adopted met a boy and they fell in love, but basically what happened is; he wanted to go visit his parents and went on a train which ended up exploding because a sick person planted a bomb in there.

"Naruto you idiot! Stop crying! It was just a movie" he was saying to himself, whipping away his tears with a tissue. He stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen to get another cup of coffee when he realized that it was already 1:30pm. Kiba was still somewhere, doing something with someone.

"What if he got bored with me and is now a prostitute?" Naruto was thinking in shock. "Or what if he is seeing someone else?" another thought came across his mind. "Or… what if he has some top secret double life and is actually a serial killer who is after me?" he kept on thinking. "Wait, what? What am I saying? Okay, I think I had enough coffee" Naruto said to himself and put the cup on the counter, walking into the living room.

Meanwhile, Kiba was working his ass off trying to get enough money to buy Naruto an engagement ring. He helped some older people who couldn't do much on their own. This went on the entire day.

Naruto was still waiting for Kiba to come back. It had been now at least 12 hours and he still wasn't back. "Stop worrying… Nothing's wrong… He loves you… Right?" the blond was thinking to himself, not sure what to believe.

"I should go to bed" he said, crawling into his cold bed. He missed the warmth of Kiba's body. This was the second night he cried himself to sleep.

Somewhere during the night the brunette came back to Naruto's apartment. He quietly snuck in, making sure not to wake his Naruto-kun up. When he opened the door of the bedroom he saw the blond sleeping but his pillow looked a little wet. "Did he… cry himself to sleep?" Kiba thought. This caused a big frown on his face. He quickly took off all of his clothes and gently joined Naruto in bed, trying to keep him asleep. He put his arm around the blond, pulling himself closer to him. "I love you so much" he added before he fell asleep.

The next morning Naruto woke up alone, again. "This is getting ridiculous…" he sighed. He turned his head to a note on Kiba's pillow. He picked it up and read it;

Hey love,

I still have some important work to do today. Please, don't be angry with me. I will make this all up to you tomorrow, I promise!

Million hugs and kisses, Kiba

"Tomorrow? Wait, isn't our first anniversary tomorrow?" Naruto thought. He threw the letter away from him and turned to the other side.

While he was having breakfast he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Sakushi-sensei. "Sakushi-sensei? What's up?" he asked in confusion.

"Me and the Hokage would like a word with you" the older man said in a serious tone, which was how he usually speaks thought.

Naruto got dressed and walked over the Hokage tower with Sakushi at his side. They walked into Tsunade's office.

"Ah, you're here" the blonde woman said. "Take a seat" she added.

"What's up Granny Tsunade?" the blond wondered. What could Tsunade and Sakushi want with him?

"As you know, those three men were sent by the Akatsuki. We had luck none of the group member showed up. If it weren't for Kiba and the others things could have turned out pretty ugly" Tsunade said in a calm voice.

"We know Jiraiya taught you a lot and you've gotten pretty strong but the Akatsuki has some pretty strong members" Sakushi added.

"This is why I want you to go train with Sakushi like you did with Jiraiya. He can teach you genjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu… whatever you want to."

"Wait a minute! You want me to replace The Pervy Sage with this guy? I barely know him!" Naruto shouted in anger.

"I'm not saying replacing… Well I guess I am but not replacing him in your heart… This would be really good for you. Give Sakushi a chance, he's a really powerful shinobi and he and Jiraiya were good friends" Tsunade continued.

"Really?" the blond asked. Jiraiya never said he knew Sakushi and they were travelling for almost 3 years.

"You have time until tomorrow. I'm leaving tomorrow with or without you. Meet me at the gate at 9.00pm" Sakushi said before walking out.

Naruto was so confused; he still had to register everything that just happened. Leave again? And especially now that he has Kiba? He would have to think about this really hard.

Later he walked back to his apartment. He threw himself on his bed and started to think about everything that happened in the last few days. "Should I leave? But what would Kiba say?"

He was so confused. If he stayed he could still be with Kiba but the Akatsuki might strike again, and this time with a bigger threat. And if he left he could become much more stronger but what about Kiba-kun? "Bwaah this is giving me a headache!" he cried.

"Sakushi-sensei is pretty strong and he could probably teach me a lot of powerful jutsu."

A few hours later Kiba came back home. "Yes! I finally have enough money!" he thought to himself smiling. "Naruto-kun! I'm home!" he shouted in a happy tone. The blond quickly came running to him. Kiba opened his arms waiting to put his arms around Naruto. "You idiot!" the blond shouted and kicked the brunette in the crotch.

"The fuck? What was that for?" he started crying.

"Where the hell do you go for the entire day?" Naruto asked in an upset tone. Someone's in trouble…

"Oh… about that… um… Look, it' all make sense tomorrow!" Kiba tried to calm his lover.

"We'll see about that" the blond whispered and walked away.

The couple spent the rest of the day cuddling and making out. "I missed having these kinds of lazy days with you" the blond smiled.

"Yeah, sorry but I've been really busy these days…" Kiba apologized kissing Naruto on his nose.

"By the way, I'll be sleeping at my house tonight" he added.

"What?" Naruto asked in a 'try to stay calm' way.

"It's just that I haven't slept there for a while and I miss Akamaru and my family."

"Well bring Akamaru over here!"

"Naruto, it's just one night. Trust me, everything will be so much better tomorrow!" Kiba laughed.

The blond stood up from Kiba's arms and walked away. "Fine" he said walking into his bedroom.

"Where are you going?" Kiba asked.

"To bed. See you tomorrow" Naruto said in a monotone voice. He closed the door and went directly to bed.

Kiba felt bad about this but he needed time to go buy the ring and make sure Naruto wouldn't find it before he gave it to him. "Goodnight my angel!" he said.

"Night" Naruto responded with zero emotions.

"I hope tomorrow comes quickly" he said. Kiba stood up and walked out of the apartment, heading for his own house.

The next morning Naruto was packing his stuff. Tears were flowing down his cheeks while he was putting his clothes in his backpack. He picked up a framed picture of him and Kiba and put it in the backpack with the picture facing down.

He walked out of the apartment and locked it. "Naruto? Where are you going?" a familiar voice asked.

"Oh, hi Sakura-chan" Naruto responded. "I'm leaving Konoha for a while to go train with Sakushi-sensei" he added in a monotone voice. He just walked past Sakura like she was nothing.

"What? But what about Kiba?" the kunoichi wondered.

"Tell him I love him" he added and kept walking.

He soon came to the gate where Sakushi was standing. "So I see you decided to come with me" the old man laughed.

"Yeah. Can we just go? I would like to go as soon as possible" the blond said.

Half an hour later Kiba was rushing to Naruto's apartment. He just bought the engagement ring and he still had some money left. "I can't wait to see Naruto's expression when I pop out this ring!" he was thinking.

On his way there he saw a sad Sakura sitting on a bench. "Sakura-chan? What's wrong? Are you okay?" the brunette asked.

"Don't you know yet? Naruto's leaving again. He and Sakushi left the village like half an hour ago" Sakura responded with a frown on her face.

"What? Are you fucking kidding me? No! This can't be happening!" Kiba shouted in anger and confusion. The ring fell out of his pocket and Sakura quickly took notice of it.

"Kiba? Why do you have an engagement ring in your pocket?" she asked with her eyes wide open.

"I wanted to propose to Naruto! How could he have done this to me?" the brunette started crying.

Sakura stood up and hugged her friend. "It's okay… Don't cry" she tried to calm down the Inuzuka teenager.

Meanwhile Naruto and Sakushi were walking through a grass field when the older man noticed the blond was crying. "Naruto? Are you okay?" he asked worried.

"I loved him… I really did…" the blond responded.
