Chapter 2: Conversation Over Breakfast

"My head hurts," Kiba sat up in his bed. "I smell like shit. Damn, I must of over drank again, I can't remember a thing."

Knocking came from the door, and Shino walked in.

"Morning, Shino," he smiled.

"Good morning. I made some coffee; you should come get some," Shino looked at the ground.

"Sure! I'll be there in a minute."

"Ok," Shino left the room.

Did I do something wrong? He seemed odd. What happened last night while I was drunk? Kiba wondered as he left his room.

Hearing Kiba, Shino looked to see him sitting down at the table.

"I put some aspirin on the table for your headache," Shino said.

"Thanks, Shino," he swallowed the pills. "Ugh! I feel like an idiot. You always take such good care of me whenever I drink to much."

Shino placed a plate of food in front of the boy. "You're my friend, Kiba, of course I care about you. I think Hinata doesn't like you drinking so much though."

"I know…it's just…I haven't been doing so well with any of the girls I've gone out with. Drinking is all I know to do when I get dumped."

"Maybe if you get more missions, you wouldn't be so worried about getting a girlfriend."

"Yeah, but ever since Naruto became Hokage, there aren't that many missions anymore. I'm happy that there aren't hard missions, but it gives me nothing to do."

"You should go see Naruto. I'm sure he'd give you a mission if you asked for one."

"That's a good idea. Hey, hey! If I'm rejected, will you come drink with me tonight?" Kiba wondered.

"Kiba, you remember we're going to lunch with Hinata, right?" Shino questioned.

"Mhm…she should be here around noon."

"Ok, just making sure. You should go see Naruto. I'll be over at the Hokage's mansion probably before you're done. We'll wait for Hinata and go out to lunch from there."

"Yep! I feel much better now. Thanks, Shino. I'll see you later," Kiba smiled as he left.

Shino let out a sigh. "I guess he doesn't remember what happened between us last night."

A little sad, Shino begat to clean up the dishes used. Afterwards, he decided he would go for a short walk to clear his head of what had happened.
