Well I got one review, thank you guest! XD. I sound like a retard... But anyway I wanted to know what you guys think about this story? Should I make it like AS LOOOOOOOONG as possible?
The rest of the family had gotten over Tsume's recent death pretty quickly, several weeks had passed and it seemed the only people who had noticed she was gone was their accountant who was at a loss of words as the Inuzuka income had plummeted slightly but was swiftly regained as made a deal with several other companies to compensate for the lack of income his lover's corpse could provide.
The other person to dwell on the subject of their family's missing piece was Kiba, The male cried himself to sleep each night. Knowing the fact that his mother would never be able to cheer him on at his football games, to start a standing ovation at his violin recital, that he didn't want to be at and his father never bothered to show his face at even though it was him who had forced the small boy to practice nonstop on the goal of becoming a violinist. 'Nothing' His mother could attend nothing, no award days at his elementary schools, and nothing other than when he joined his mother in heaven.
Following his mother's funeral he'd and probably Hana noticed the even more prolonged absence of their father, one parent had died, and the other just seemed to given up on them all together. The small brunette sighed deeply before walking over to his bedroom window. Placing his elbows where his toys were set in the window sloppily. Of course they were sloppy he was only five years old next month, and he had yet to learn the basics of organizing. After all, that was Rose's job was it not?
The years following the incident hadn't been smooth sailing but none the less traveled by quickly. The remaining Inuzuka family had changed drastically from their former selves, that was an understatement in anyone's opinion. Kiba was in his fourth and final year of high school, if he didn't have a plummet of his motivation towards his school work, like in previous years. He had grown taller, stronger and looked like a young man that a young woman would be proud to bring home to her parents. But unfortunately Kiba's personality wasn't nearly as perfect as his sculpted body. He was heinous, perverted, and narcissistic Not to mention he knew he could use his perfect body to his advantage, which added overconfident to the list of imperfection and flaws to the Brunette's otherwise perfect being. Not that his father had noticed the boy's achievements, when his father was home he had always praised his ever so PERFECT sister, Hana. She too had grown, not as tall or muscular than Kiba had, but she wasn't an average slacker like her brother. She had gotten straight A's in every course, with additional courses for trying to live up to her dead mother's expectations to be a doctor. She was close too, she was on her second year of medical school at KU. If she didn't get the full-ride scholarship she'd gotten her father would have bought her the university anyway.
Hana's achievements not only irked her younger brother, but the adding of Hana flaunting her knowledge like it was some sort of gossip. Needless to say who Kiba constantly glared at as she walked through the penthouse door, talking on the phone to one of her college friends. 'And the way she yells "Hi Kiba" Her voice makes me sick' The brunette thought as he slammed his fork down in anger. No response was made by the action considering Hana was out with her perfect boyfriend, Kiba rolled his eyes at the thought of anyone going daring to go out with that, thing he called a sister. Rose, the only other person at the table seemed to be unfazed at the abrupt breaking of silence at the table. Kiba seethed that Rose seemed so used to his anger and frustration and offered no help. "I don't see how breaking the fork, solves your sister problem" She said quietly, finally taking her stare of the large television that was implanted in the kitchen wall. Kiba picked the fork back up and stabbed lightly at the meal. Rose had prepared it of course, Chicken Alfredo from Leon's restaurant 'An old family friend' She stated over and over as every Friday as she took the food out of the brown paper bag with "Leon's" name printed on the front. Kiba looked over at the ebony woman as she gracefully pulled the fork into her mouth in a constant repetitive movement, He looked at her hand which he had noticed had grown thinner and more wrinkly that had came with the silver hair that was tied neatly behind her round shaped head.
A vibration in Kiba' pocket had taken him from his observation of his old caretaker. His face warmed up slightly upon reading it. "Going out?" Rose asked knowingly as she did an out of character act of scraping her fork against her teeth. The brunette nodded slightly, not moving his head enough to compromise his view on the lit up screen. "I'll see you later Rose" He mumbled before picking up the half eaten plate of Chicken Alfredo and forking it down the drain whilst running steaming water over it. Kiba could hear the woman starting to get ready to have a heated 'Discussion' with the Inuzuka heir. Kiba sighed and walked over to the coat rack that had been more and more accessible as he grew older, it was polished in black and silver paints and metals. It fit elegantly with the rest of the suite.
The brunette grabbed the leather jacket and held it over one shoulder with one hand while trying to get out of the door with the other. "I'll see you around" Rose called from behind him, the tone in her voice was a mixture of disappointment and abandonment. After all the years of high school partying that Kiba had been through the tone of voice always struck a nerve in him. Not that he'd tell her so, it made him feel guilty every time she said it. Like he'd just stolen another cookie from the cookie jar.
Kiba sighed, not taking his eyes off of his escape, also known as the door. The teen walked out of the wooden door, leaving behind Rose who had the look of betrayal, something more. But Kiba didn't even have to look back at her to know betrayal was the main glimmer in her dark eyes.
Rose shut the door the teen left open, with a shallow sigh escaping her set of lips she leaned against it locked one of the several bolts had installed in the Penthouse, considering Kiba was probably just going to get drunk and crash. 'At least he's responsible enough not to drive' Rose mused darkly before turning off the dim light that hung above her with the flick of a switch. She could already tell from the rut she found herself in that it was going to be one of those nights where she'd watch a recorded show from Animal Planet, about Bears and fall asleep on the couch then mysteriously wake up in her queen sized bed thanks to Hana. Rose's lips quirked into a thin smile. 'This week was Polar Bears' She let out another sigh, a relaxing sigh. With the dim smile plastered on her thinning face she grabbed the remote off of the dark red mahogany table in front of the leather couch. The ebony woman snuggled into a light blue blanket she'd had since Hana was born. She looked around the room thinking of all the memories, That had accumulated in her long time of living and taking care of the Inuzuka children. She passed the commercial time after the introduction to look at the pictures that were standing on the mantle below the Television.
She smiled fondly at the blurry photos before quickly adverting her attention to the female voice that was commenting on the Bear's movements and stating random facts about the species.
Kiba climbed into one of his families many fine, glossy black cars. Taking the driver's seat and pulling the over head flap down and waited for a set of keys to the car to land in his hand. When they did he quickly shoved them in the ignition and turned it until the roar of the engine was clearly audible in the echoing cavern of the parking garage.
He smiled at the nice purr of the sports car before pushing the lever into reverse and drove out of the parking area. Quickly shifting into drive when he made his turn and sped down the street with no hesitation that a certain flower named woman would be missing did, in fact it hadn't crossed his mind once since he left her behind.
Crossing each intersection, that fortunately turned green for the teen, he made his way to a large, very decorated yard. Where the party was supposed to be. Judging by the sound of the bass shaking the windows and the party people with red plastic cups, he assumed he was in the right place. Kiba parked the black car near a few of the others, more drifted from the entrance was hidden from the front door by a very large and groomed hedge.
Walking up to the front door of the mansion and pushed one of the two matching brown wooden doors open to reveal the life of the party, the majority of it anyway. The entrance hall seemed very cramped b the shocking amount of people clustered into it, Talking and drinking from their cups occasionally. The teen managed to squeeze through the party and was quickly bombarded with another room full of party goers. He let out a sigh, but quickly pulled on a smile as the song changed into a techno tune and one drunk person started grinding another drunk person. The display quickly caught attention and other drunks started to collide their backsides to guys' crotches. Even the newcomer did, Kiba looked down at the dim blonde hair that was frizzing against his chest. He smiled before getting into the groove and rolled his hips against her. But that didn't last too long as she turned around and glared at Kiba's face.
"Ino" He gasped quietly, she read his lips and smirked. "That's me honey". Ino Yamanaka, wasn't only a slightly older woman, she was a crazy slightly older woman. She had dated Kiba when he was a sophomore, but when he found a better catch he left her with great confidence. Reflecting her mistakes about how she was the one that turned Kiba into a party going man-slut, soon finding out that Kiba was the mistake that ruined the other's life not only did he not attempt to save her from her new found obsession with Witchcraft, or the fact that she cut her self and talking to crazy demons. He did the complete opposite and ignored her existence completely, acting oblivious to the fact that he indeed knew her.
"So what brings you here?" She asked sweetly, Kiba shrugged "Didn't have anybody else to do?" The brunette shook his head. "That's a first, from what I hear" The younger teen just shrugged his shoulders again. "I've got something I wanna show you Kiba" She whispered, even though the music was blaring and pounding his ear drums he could hear her clearly as if it was her voice coming from the speakers that were bouncing in the corners of the large room, But instead of the loud, monstrous sound the speakers produced, This sounded like a whisper, almost like a dream kind of whisper. He nodded, ignoring the obvious warning that his brain was sending to his legs.
The brunette followed the blonde woman slowly, making sure to keep an eye on her and keep his distance, just in case she went berserk and decided to pull out a magic wand and stab him or something. The brunette chuckled to himself as he thought about Ino trying to pull some harry potter crap.
Finding him and Ino alone out side the back of the house, sent a shiver down his spine, not only from the cool fall breeze that flowed through the fabric of his jacket and massaged his warm skin. The blonde smirked at his reaction. "Miss me Kiba?" She asked with a seductive tone, before turning around and walking slowly to the other, with one foot in front of the other as she tried her best to look the tone she was using. Kiba looked at what she was dressed in, not that he cared, just wanted to check for a gun, or a wand, or something a crazy person would use to harm someone. Scanning over the ripped material of the black dress that shined in the garden's flood lights. "Not really" He replied after deeming her clean of any harmful objects. "How 'bout now?" She asked as she climbed onto the teen, wrapping her thin, pale arms around his neck while doing the same things her exposed legs. "Nah" He replied with ease, the friction doing nothing to make him react. "Are you gay or something?" The teen shook his head, "I just like sex" He replied into her ear. She frowned and rolled her eyes before removing her form from his body.
A purple mist blocked the teens vision, a nearly undetectable chanting could be heard all around him. He looked left and right into the purple realm onto to see the scarred face of the woman that was previously placed onto his body trying to get a reaction. "Kiba..." "What's going on here!" He yelled into the swirling mist. "You've been a bad boy" The voices chanted from all around him, they all came from floating heads that resembled the first one. "What have I done?" He asked, trying to ignore the thoughts of what he'd actually done. A slide show of mental images coursed through his head. Forearms, all bloody and riddled with cuts. The sound of sobbing filled his ears, it was driving him crazy. He gripped his hair trying to hold onto his sanity as the screaming continued. "You remember Sarah Kiba? Huh? Do you!" She asked loudly, the brunette nodded as regained his composure of staring at the one of the heads of the crazy person. "Well I think it's time you get what has been coming to you for a long time" she hissed. "What did I do?" He asked again. The blonde clicked her tongue in disappointment.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to mess with a girls' feelings?" She asked, which made Kiba growl at the taunt. "Oh yeah, forgot, she's dead" She responded with a cackle, which only make the teen growl louder in the back of his throat as he clenched his hands into a fist. "My, My Kiba. You've gotten a lot bigger since we last saw each other" She said referring to the muscles that were now clenched from aggravation.
"Cut the crap!" He yelled, which only made Ino snicker. "Okay" she warned. The chanting started once more, it's tune louder and more intense. Kiba slammed his hands onto his ears trying to ignore the annoying tune that the blonde was chanting. All together the chanting stops. "Kiba, when this hours glass runs out, you'll be stuck in this form forever" "What form" He wanted to ask, but couldn't seem to make his vocals work. He looked down on his hands only to see shorter versions of what was, he no longer wore shoes and had very furry feet. "I bet you're thinking about what happened?" the other nodded his head. "Well if you're gonna sleep around like a dog, you're gonna be a dog" She explained following it up with a wicked cackle. "He faced the giant hour glass as it seeped sand. "Now, if you want to reverse the curse, you're going to have to get someone to love you, and mean it" she went on. "This hour glass, it only goes until Midnight. New years" She gleamed. "Now I don't think you want to carry this home so allow me to... Lighten the load" She smiled and shook her hands until the hour glass shrunk, opening her free hand appeared a red collar. She fastening the hourglass charm onto the collar before slipping it onto Kiba's neck.
The large dog growled at her, which had no effect as she calmly snapped the plastic pieces together, and stood in front of Kiba. "Two months. And you're stuck like that... Think about it... You could be my pet, until you die" She cackled evilly and dispersed into the missed which quickly vanished, leaving an exhausted Kiba, who only wanted to go home. Trying to stand up on two legs the large dog fell onto his back. With a sigh he walked over to the water's edge and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw that he was indeed a dog, an almost wolf looking dog, with dark eyes and black fur. The teen gulped. 'This is just a bad dream Kiba, you just passed out at the party, just gotta wake yourself up, yeah yeah that'll do it' He reassured himself before dashing into the glass door that seemed much taller now.
The only effect the dash into the door gave him was probably a concussion, and a definite head ache. He looked at the doggy version of himself in the glass' reflection before trying the stunt again, which only consequently only made his headache worse. The teen released a edged breath from his muzzle before walking the side of the house, feet trudging through the piles of recently mowed grass, Which smelled fantastic -Not that he noticed before- in Kiba's opinion. He slipped through the thick hedges trying to get his body through without getting cut or trapped by any of the thick, leaf holding branches. 'Just gotta get to the car, and go home- Wait can't drive' He growled before turning his head away from where he parked his car and trotted down the street towards the main part of town in silence. Trying to avoid the kids that stared at him and tried running after him, only to be pulled back by older men in suits that were walking while talking on the phone.
Kiba turned into an alley at random, knowing it was a faster way to get to his home, and probably safer than walking through the streets at the risk of getting Kid-dog napped. The dark-haired dog tried to sneak down the alley in silence, still on his toes about the whole abduction thing and was ready to bolt if he heard anything strange.
He stopped at the sound of music coming further from the end of the alley, unfortunately curiosity got the best of the dog and decided to investigate further to see if he had to backtrack his way out of the alley. Kiba raised a none existent brow at the sight that was laid out in front of him, the music, which now sounded more freaky, and just plain weird; Something a tribe of Indians would worship in Kiba's opinion, not that it mattered. The large dog strolled through the alley quickly, only to be stopped by a rather taller looking male. Said male had dark blue eyes that stared into his dark ones with wide pupils that were dilated by the fire light from a burning metal barrel. His hair hung in small spikes in front of his eyes, part of it tucked behind one ear, the loose ends framed the tan skin of his face. "Well what are you doing out here little...ish guy?" The blonde asked as he bent down to rub the dog's back, but was quickly stopped cold in his tracks when the dog glared at him with his dark eyes that seeming to on fire by the way the actual fire reflected of his eyes, his feet spread to keep his balance and intimidating demeanor. The teen took his hand back and continued to stare at the dog's eyes until the disappeared under his legs.
The dog snickered slightly, sparing a glance at the sullen man who was resting under a fire escape, looking up at it longingly. Kiba looked forward again only to see the front of his apartment building. He smiled, a grin that only a happy canine could pull off. Looking across the street twice to see if any beams of light were coming to knock the light out of him. Surprisingly it was clear and he bolted to the twin glass doors up the steps of the building. "Can't... Open... Doors" He whimpered to himself. Finding it the perfect opportunity to use the blonde man that was settled behind him. The dog whipped around and ran over to the blonde man, that was twitching in his own grip. The dog wanted to ask him if something was wrong, but even without proper speaking skills, he knew something was wrong. He walked slowly over to the blonde and tugged at the orange t-shirt sleeve. Which made the other jolt up in shock, only calming down when he noticed the dog had returned.
Kiba continued to met the blonde's eyes, pleading for him to help him. The blonde only raised a skeptical brow, "What is it boy? Someone stuck in the well?" He asked with palpable amusement. The dog rolled his eyes and released the boy's shirt. Taking obvious note of the eye roll displayed in front of him, By a dog! "Can you understand me or something? Or are you just a sarcastic jerk?" Kiba smirked at the question before nodding his head. Which made the blonde light up. "I got a dog who can understand.. .Can you talk too!?" He asked excited. Which made the dog just shake his head before attaching his teeth onto the blonde's orange shirt again and tugging towards the alley's exit. "Want me to go with you or something?" The dog nodded, stopping in his jerking movements long enough to reply with his nod. The blonde gloomed down a bit, before looking up at the fire escape again. "...I guess he won't mind, I'm Naruto by the way" He smirked extending his small hand, which Kiba placed his paw reluctantly. The blonde just smiled brighter before lifting himself to his feet and walked side by side with the large black dog.
The couple walked across the creepily empty street, and up the few steps it took to get into arms length of the glass doors which Naruto held open while the dog walked in confidently. The dog strode up to the elaborately decorated elevator that was surrounded in bronze swirls that made it shine in the dim light from above, and probably blinded people with the reflection of sunlight from the windows in front of it. Naruto looked at the dog that stood on his hind legs trying to get the button for the elevator. Naruto giggled before running over the large lobby and pressed the button, which made the dog stop jumping.
Soon the doors dinged and opened the tiled elevator which the two of them walked into, Naruto looked down at the dog. "Which floor buddy?" He asked, looking closely at the dog for answers. Kiba tried to bark his answer which only got a raised brow from the blonde. The dog sighed and looked up at the ceiling to reply. "The top?" Naruto asked trying to look for an confirmation. The dog nodded, Naruto pushed the very top button with a slight effort as he tried to reach it. Kiba just snickered, which got a glare from the blonde. "What? Tall building... Lot of buttons" He used as an excuse.
The elevator doors closed and began to shake while it moved up, which amused Naruto very much when he watched the dog who was struggling to stay on his feet while the elevator moved. Soon enough the small room stopped and the doors opened with a ear pleasing ding. Kiba bolted out of the doors and walked to the last door of the corridor. Only to stop when he again realized the dog couldn't actually walk in with out any raised brows. He waited for the blonde to catch up. Which he did in a matter of moments, stopping in front of the door, to look down at the dog. "You live here? This is where Kiba lives... I didn't know he had a dog" The dog just raised his metaphorical eye brow. Did he know this person? He asked himself, but was cut from his thoughts when the blonde started knocking on the door.
Kiba could hear a sigh from the other side of the door as Rose got up from the couch and started to make her way to the door. Soon the latch snapped open to reveal the large dark woman, dressed in her Pajamas, and a blanket draped over her like a curtain on a window. "Can I help you cutie?" Rose asked, after clearing the knot in her throat from not speaking. 'Never calls me cutie' Kiba scoffed in his head. Naruto just smiled politely before looking down at the dog, "Umm... He kind of led me here... Does he belong to you?" The blonde asked nervously to see if the dog was just pulling his leg. The woman looked down at the dark fur that gleamed in the light from above him. She rubbed her throat in though. "I'll ask Kiba when he gets back, but I guess I'll keep him for now, Did you want to come in dear? Have some Chicken Alfredo? You looked starved" The blonde just looked at his feet, feeling slightly overwhelmed at the woman's kindness. "Umm... I" He spluttered out. Rose just took it as a 'Yes' before pulling his arm until he fell into the doorway. Who was quickly followed by Kiba, Who only ran to his bedroom door, which was slightly ajar. Pushed it open and jumped onto the bed before laying down. 'Please just be a bad dream' Kiba chanted to himself, pleading as he fell asleep.
End of Chapter 2
