Chapter 15 - Trust & Goodbyes

Kankuro and Kiba. Two shinobis completly the opposite from each other. Any normal person, that met them in five minutes would say that they were alike, that they were both egocentric, proud, and got easily pissed off. But for those who knew the two shinobis for a long time, they would discribe them as incompatible.

Kankuro was reserved, Kiba was a loud mouth. Kankuro was anti-social, Kiba was friendly with almost everyone. Kankuro over-thought things, Kiba just let things flow. If Kankuro was discribed as dark, then Kiba was automatically light. The moon and the sun, water and fire, the yin and the yang. In short, they were polar opposites. Except in one little aspect. They were both interested in the same girl.

Both boys were in the waitting room of the hospital, waitting for Kaoru. The girl went there to remove her stitches, she was finally healed from her wounds, and Tsunade was now doing her job as a medical-nin and making sure Kaoru would be able to travel back to Suna next day.

As the two boys waitted, Kiba felt restless, since Kaoru told him she was going back to Suna. The boy sighed in sadness.

"Kankuro?"

"Hmm?" the puppeteer asnwered showing he was listening even though he was with his eyes closed.

"Can't you guys stay more time in here?" Kiba asked. He felt so miserable, now he had found a nice girl, she was going to leave, and god knows when she would come back.

Kankuro noticed how sad the younger boy's eyes were. He remembered Kaoru saying the day before that she was in love with the dog-boy. Maybe Kiba felt the same.

'Kiba makes Kaoru happy...

Maybe... I should stay out of the way.'

The thought was painful, but he sincerily meant it.

"Kiba... do you really like her?" he asked looking straight at the chunin's eyes. His voice tone was soft. Kiba looked at him and answered.

"Yes, I really like her... Do you like her?"

"It doesn't matter what I feel. She loves you, she told me that. I won't get in the way, just don't hurt her. Or I will beat you to bloody pulp." Kankuro said.

"I will never hurt her, I really care about Kaoru-chan." Kiba said. Kankuro gave him a trustfull smile. He knew Kiba could be trusted, and the fact he always treated Kaoru so well, it was proof enough. Kankuro looked away at the window of the waitting room. It was a sunny day, birds flying happily between trees.

'I'm sorry for giving up chacing you Kaoru,

but I never made you happy the way Kiba makes you.

I'm always here for you, loving you... but you don't belong to me.'

Kaoru was in pure ecstasy. Tsunade removed the stiches. Thanks for Konoha's medical herbs, her wounds healed very quickly, which meant NO MORE bandages! The only bad part, was that the scars would never fade way. If she was healed with chackra they would be gone in a day, but unfortunately that was not the case.

However, Kaoru felt great. Not having the bandages was enough to make her happy. She walked through the hallway along with Sakura. Then she paused halfway with a worried expression.

"Sakura-san, what about the medical bill? I assume it will be expensive considering that I'm an outer kunoichi." Kaoru asked politly but clearly concerned.

"Oh, well half of the bill was convered by the Inuzukas, since it was Kiba's fault. There's also the mission insurance, and the rest was paid by Kankuro-san."

"What?" Kaoru asked surprised. Kankuro hadn't told her anything about it.

"He asked us to not tell you, and that if you asked us about it, to lie to you and tell you that there was no bill." Sakura said.

"Why are you telling me then?" Kaoru asked Sakura.

"Because I think you should know that Kankuro-san does a lot of things for you. When you were hurt, he was worried... I think he has strong feelings for you." Sakura said smilling warmly. Kaoru didn't say anything.

'Kankuro has feelings for me?'

Of course the puppeteer cared about her enough to tell her, he wanted to kill the guy that hurt her. But strong feelings?

Kaoru and Sakura reached the boys in the waitting room. Kaoru glanced Kankuro, but the puppeteer didn't looked at her in the eye, instead he grabbed Sakura's arm and left somewhere with her.

'Feelings for me?

I guess it's more feelings for you, Sakura-san.'

Kaoru watched the two shinobis getting away. She didn't really knew why, but she felt an heavy weight in her shoulders. Kankuro paid for her medical bill, and she wasn't even able to thank him, because "she didn't knew anything".

"So..." Kiba broke her thoughts, "No more bandages?"

"No more bandages." Kaoru replied smiling.

"Oh really?" he asked wrapping his arms around the girl. Kaoru nodded and Kiba leaned his head to Kaoru's, teasing her lips with his own.

"Then, I have the perfect day planned for us." with that Kiba kissed the girl in the most passionable way she could possibly be kissed.

Kaoru followed the chunin, not knowing where she was heading. His warm hand pulling her hand, fingers entwined. They walked through a forest, that she hadn't been before.

Konohagakure was surrounded by forests, giving that beautiful confortable ambient to the village. Unfortunatly, because of her injuries, Kaoru was not able to explore the village better, but it didn't matter, Kaoru wasn't concerned about where Kiba would take her. She trusted him. Maybe even loved him, he was her knight in a shiny armor. He was her savior from the life she had. A life that she had to go back to, the day after.

The pressure of enjoying every single moment she had left, clouded her mind. And Kiba was her solution, he would bring her the need she had. He was going to fullfill every single cell of her body, feeding her needs, her last moments of freedom.

They walked about 20 minutes within the forest, Kaoru noticed Kiba seemed to take her in to a particular place, once they arrived Kiba smilled to Kaoru.

It was a small lake, the water was blueish clear. Around the lake it was covered with grass and amazing colored flowers grew in random places.

"Let's go swim!" Kiba said pulling the girl's hand.

"What?" Kaoru couldn't believe the dog-boy's idea. She didn't even knew how to swim properly, it's not like she needed to.

"Come on!" Kiba said taking off his shoes and t-shirt, he grinned, "Now you can show off that body of yours."

Kaoru blushed, her body could be better from the ugly wounds but she was still unconfortable with her tattoed seals. Kiba noticed that.

"Kaoru-chan ,it's just us, no one ever comes here. You trust me right?" Kiba said tugging slightly her dark shirt.

"I trust you." Kiba smilled and took of her shirt. Leaving the girl in her black bra. Kiba ignored the seals, and took of his own pants, and Kaoru mimicked the boy taking hers. With both in their underware, Kiba pulled the girl in his arms and jumped into the lake. Kaoru gripped her arms around him.

"Kaoru-chan are you afraid of water?" Kiba asked laughting.

"I don't really swim very... well..." Kaoru said blushing in embarressement.

"Hmm... that's kind of good. I like you clinging that way to me." he said kissing the girl's wet neck. It felt good, for Kaoru to feel his bare chest in her body, even with the cold water, he was so warm...

Akamaru slept on the grass, ignoring the two shinobis in the water, making out. They stayed there for a while.

Kaoru shivered by the boy's touch, his hands traveling her bare back, it was heaven. Her skin felt so sensitive. She loved the sensation.

"Kaoru-chan let's go out of the water."

"Ok."

The two shinobis layed on the grass, Kiba didn't let her go. He passionatly kissed her lips, his tongue hungry for her's. The scent of wild fruits, hypnotized him, and he soon attacked her neck, leaving marks, but Kaoru couldn't care less, in that moment she wasn't able to think.

Kiba's hand slid the bra stripes down her tattoed shoulders, kissing the new exposed skin. His kisses trailed down to her clevage. Kaoru panted and moaned when Kiba's hand slided underneath the bra, toching and sqeezing her breast, while the free hand unhooked the bra and then throwed it aside next to the already piled clothes.

The boy's mouth took control over her breast, licking and nibbing every sensitive spot. Her moans were once again a song to his perky ears.

He kept going down to her stomach where she had the summoning seal. Kiba didn't say anything about it, he just kissed and licked her skin, driving Kaoru to pure bliss.

"Kaoru-chan, I want you to be my first." Kiba said sexily in her ear, licking it. The sensation was too much for the girl and she simply nodded. Kiba smirked and in less than a second both his boxers and her panties were gone. Kiba looked at her whole naked body, Kaoru blushing bright red and looking away.

"You're so hot, Kaoru-chan.", Kiba teased her. He searched something in his clothes on the floor, that were next to them, he took of a condom from the pocket of his pants.

'Wow, he actually came prepared...'

In the moment Kiba unwrapped with his teeth the silver package of the condom, Kaoru realized what was going to happen.

'Am I really going to do this?

I like him, I really like him.. but...'

Kaoru's heartbeat was so fast it almost hurt, it was her first time. She was going to have intercourse. It was also the boy's first time, and that somehow made her more confortable. She watched carefully the dog putting the condom, he sure was big. The kunoichi had seen the dog-boy's manhood and even felt it in her hands, but now in bright daylight seemed so much bigger. This was going to hurt her for sure.

Kiba layed on top of her, between her legs. He gently kissed her.

"I'll be gentle.", he reassured the girl.

He slowly entered the girl, Kaoru shut her eyes tightly, she was right, it hurt like hell.

"Are you ok?" Kiba asked concerned kissing her neck, to make her forget about the pain.

"Yes, don't go fast." she asked.

Kiba thrusted her gently, trying to not lose control of himself and doing her hard. After a couple of minutes, he couldn't handle it anymore, he had to thrust deep.

"I'm sorry Kaoru-chan I can't keep going like this..." the boy trusted her deep, Kaoru moaned loud in pain, the boy said he would be gentle, but now it was the total opposite. Kaoru bared with the pain for a while, then that pain faded away, and as Kiba thrusted faster she started to feel pleasure. Her moans made Kiba increase the grip, sweating dripping from his body.

"You feel so good, so tight..." Kiba moaned. Kaoru brought his face to hers and kissed him, moaning in his mouth. Having sex felt so good, having Kiba inside her pleasuring her body from head to toe, it was so wonderful. She wished she could stay like this forever.

Something started to form inside her, like she was about to burst, Kiba nibbed her neck hard.

"Kaoru-chan... I'm not gonna last long... I'm gonna-", he couldn't speak anything else as he came right away, beneath him he could feel the girl tremble and she moaned loud, when she orgasmed, scratching his back harshly.

Kiba was in shock, he couldn't believe what he just heard. He looked down at Kaoru, and she smiled warmly to him, lifting her head and kissing the boy.

'She didn't notice it...'

After leaving Kiba and Kaoru in the hospital waitting room, Kankuro went with Sakura to her small office within the establishment.

"Kankuro-san, I'm sure you know that this information is confidential, even with your brother's approval, it's better for Kaoru-san not to know you have this." Sakura said giving the puppeteer Kaoru's medical file.

"I know. I will not tell her. I just want to know about her seals." Kankuro replied opening the files.

"Those cuts she had in her back... She had more scars underneath it. Tsunade-shisho said that some had years."

"Years?" Kankuro closed his eyes and breath deep, "Sakura, don't worry, I'm gonna find who did that."

Kankuro spoke a little bit more with Sakura about Kaoru's condition, and then left. Realizing that Kiba and Kaoru were long gone, he went to Kiba's place to pack for the next day. The day they were heading back to Suna. He couldn't wait for that. Suna was his home after all, and knowing that in Suna he would not see Kiba and Kaoru together was wonderful.

The two absent shinobis stayed out until night, when they came after dinner. Kankuro tried not to look pissed off, but it was harder than he thought.

He sat in the bed leaning against the headboard. Watching Kaoru packing for the next day, the girl had a weird smile in her face.

"Are you ok?" Kankuro asked, "You have a weird smile on your face."

Kaoru looked at the puppeteer, and kept smiling.

"I'm just happy, and sad at the same time." she closed her bag, and move to the bed she sat next to Kankuro.

"I never thought that Konoha was so amazing. It's so different from home." she said looking at Kankuro.

"Yeah, I know. Here everybody is happy, it's almost like they have no problems."

"Exactly." Kaoru smiled even more. It was a sad smile though. Kankuro pulled her into a hug.

"Don't worry, maybe I can convince Gaara for you to come back soon." he had no idea why he had said that, it pained him to see her with Kiba, but he just wanted her to be happy. Kaoru hugged him back.

"Thank you Kankuro-kun."

A cough was heard at the door. The sand nins broke the hug. It was Kiba at the door.

"Come Kaoru-chan it's our last night together, let's make the best of it." he said. While Kaoru was exiting the room, Kiba glared Kankuro with all his hate. Kankuro noticed it and frowned.

'What the fuck is wrong with him?'

Next day, the three shinobis were at the gate. Kaoru hugged Akamaru tightly, how much she loved that dog. The dog licked her bare hand, in return.

Then she kissed Kiba goodbye, which made Kankuro turn his head away.

"I'll try to comeback as soon as possible." she said hugging the boy.

"Ok, have a safe trip!" Kiba said, watching the two shinobis walking away. His face showing the deepest sickness he ever felt.

"Let's go home, Akamaru..."
