I assure you all that I did not die! It's complicated and the main point is that I'm back! And whatever. Anyway, here's the technical first chapter of…THE MATING MOON! I hope you enjoy it! REGULAR PV!

Kiba felt sick to his stomach when Shino took a seat next to him. He almost thought he was going to throw up right there so he bolted up from his seat and started to run down the aisles of desks, past Iruka, and out of the room. Naruto sat stunned and when he tried to get up and go after Kiba, Shino put a hand on his shoulder and stood up instead. He walked up slowly to the front and out the door. Iruka blinked a few times as the door closed. Sasuke looked at his blond and smirked a little, but Naruto turned away, unable to look at Sasuke. The Uchiha looked forward as Iruka cleared his throat a little, turning an expecting glance towards the duo.

" Kiba isn't feeling well." Naruto said, a tint coming to his cheeks. " Shino went to see if he's alright, and probably drive him home if he's sick."

Iruka nodded, completely satisfied with the answer and turned towards the white board, grabbing a red marker from the tray.

Kiba ran into the bathroom, the door slamming behind him as he rushed up to the mirror. He was hyperventilating as he opened up the collar of his white uniform shirt to look at his shoulder. It was pulsing painfully against his skin and seemed to become red with irritation. He turned on the cold water and pushed his hand under the water so it would become cold enough to soothe his aching shoulder. He splashed the water upwards, and his shoulder seized with pain and his knees bucked underneath him. He placed his head against the counter and closed his eyes for a second but that's when he heard footfalls behind him. He glanced up at the mirror and saw Shino standing behind him, his hand slithering upwards and slowly placing itself on his shoulder.

" Let me help you…" Shino said as he started to pulled Kiba from the ground. The brunette was in so much pain that he didn't care what the supposed werewolf was doing. Shino began to gently move his fingers around the bite mark, and almost as quickly as the pain came, it disappeared. Kiba felt a warmth in the pit of his stomach from Shino's hands.

Shino's hands were surprisingly warm, almost hot but not sweaty at all. The heat was very soothing on his skin and made him relax completely into the body that started to press into him. Shino pushed him forward slightly so he was standing straight up, but Kiba's head moved back and started to rest on the chest behind him. His eyes were slightly glazed over with a haze of pain but Shino didn't mind, he knew the mark was a powerful and couldn't only be soothed by the wolf who gave it to them. He started to move his other hand so it came to rest on Kiba's hip, massaging the skin with his fingers. He did the same on the smaller man's shoulder, and a soft moan escaped his lips, making Shino twitch with arousal.

He could smell Kiba's arousal, even if he would never admit it out loud. It was filling the air around him and making him dizzy with lust. He took a deep sniff of Kiba's hair, savoring how the mixture of arousal and his normal scent of Axe body wash lingered in his nostrils. The urge to bite him a second time was becoming almost too difficult to resist. He wanted the virus to spread more quickly in Kiba's system so he wouldn't be so fragile, so completely and hopelessly human. Kiba's body would be able to handle him much better when the virus finally gripped onto him and turned him into a wolf. Shino smirked a little to himself as he thought of how much fun he could have with Kiba one the transformation was complete.

He removed his hand from Kiba's shoulder and moved his head down. He gave him an experimental lick. Shino received a whimper in return and so he continued to lick and kiss at Kiba's shoulder, making the smaller body shake with pleasure. It was only when he started to suck that Kiba started to loose himself in the hazy bliss he was feeling. He let out a throaty moan and Shino started to ache with need. He pawed at Kiba's shirt more, pulling it down so his chest was more exposed. He moved his lips up and started to suck gently on his neck, teasing it with his slightly dulled fangs.

But as soon as Shino began to play with the brunette's already hard nipples did Kiba finally snap out of his stupor and push the other man away from him. He took a deep breath, a dark red blush staining his cheeks as he regained his senses again. Shino growled with annoyance at being rejected and tried to recapture Kiba in his arms, only to be shoved again.

" STOP!" He yelled, backing up into the counter where the sink was still on full blast. " Shino, get away from me."

" Humans…" Shino began looking at Kiba through the tops of his shades. " Are so much more arousing when they're frightened." The brunette blushed even darker as Shino grabbed his face and pulled him forward. Kiba pulled away and fisted his hands in Shino's shirt, gaining the upper hand and pushing him back into the stalls behind them.

They rattled but then shook even more when Shino let out a howl that was so powerful it knocked Kiba back onto the counter. He moaned as his body shattered the mirror behind him. Speckles and shards of glass started to rain down on Kiba's hair and clothes, making him sparkle and glisten in the light.

He felt sick to his stomach as Shino approached him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, shaking the glass from his body. It fell to the floor around them like sharp flakes of glitter. Shino pulled Kiba close to his body and cradled his head, forcing his lips onto his.

Kiba whimpered into the kiss as he felt fangs nibble at his bottom lip. He gasped unwillingly and Shino's tongue slipped into the soft, warm cavern. Kiba was so light headed from being kissed and thrown into the mirror that he barely notice that he Shino was pushing him back up onto the counter. His legs and hands were dragging through the glass, making cuts and gashes, all oozing with blood.

Shino grabbed Kiba's arm, pulled it up and began to kiss at the cuts, sucking the blood off his hand and twirling his tongue around Kiba's fingers, teasing him seductively. " But I'm not gay." Came Kiba's bleak response.

" Really?" Shino asked, sarcasm dancing in his tone. He reached down and grabbed Kiba's already painful erection and gave it a squeeze. " Because this tells me you want to be my mate."

" Shino please…" Kiba said, grabbing onto the front of his shirt, tears stinging the corners of his eyes. " I don't want this, I don't….Let me go."

" It's already too late." Shino replied with a shrug. " Once you're bitten by a werewolf, it's over. The virus for lycanthropy is carried in our saliva and we transfer it through bites, and that's how we mate. We find someone suitable to bear the mark." He said shoving his hands into his pockets but not before fixing his sunglasses. " You should count yourself lucky that the virus didn't kill you. It kills one out of every fifteen people."

" Was that supposed to make me swoon? Because it didn't work." Kiba snapped back at Shino, who smirked a little.

" I suggest, Kiba, that you accept your fate as my mate. It is going to happen, whether you want it to or not." Shino said as he walked to the bathroom door, holding it open. " Oh by the way, that was supposed to make you swoon." The brunette glared at Shino and moved from the counter wincing as a shard of glass cut through his leg. Kiba used the wall as leverage as he examined the cut on his leg. He grabbed the shard embedded in his leg and gave a little gasp when he pulled it out. He threw it on the ground and started to limp towards the door. Shino was at his side in an instant. " I'll escort you home, Kiba."

" Home? But I can just go to the nurse and finish school…" Shino growled a little as he grabbed Kiba's hand and attempted to drag him all the way down through the empty hallways of the school. " Isn't Iruka going to be wondering where we went?"

" I'm sure Naruto and Sasuke have that covered, I mean you did suddenly bolt up from your seat, so he probably assumed you were sick. And when I left, he most likely thought I was going to check on you. We are friends after all."

" Yes, exactly! Friends, Shino, just friends."

" Friends don't do what we just did in the bathroom."

Kiba blushed again but then the color was trained from his face when he saw the blood starting to soak through his black jeans and drip down his leg, making a trail of crimson against the white and black speckled linoleum. He felt a sudden rush of lightheadedness and that's when everything went black.

Shino sighed as he grabbed the smaller male from the floor. Maybe he should have done something about his injury before making him try to leave. He shrugged, slinging Kiba over his shoulder. Something he would have never allowed him to do if he was conscious. He walked out the front door and to the royal blue Lamborghini Sasuke got him for the ten year reunion of the day when he was accepted into the pack. A day he cursed almost as much as when he was turned.

He frowned as he opened the passenger door and slid Kiba inside. He walked around the car and got in on his side. His engine roared to life and he smiled a little. He may of hated that day but he would make an exception if he got another nice present like this. From many weeks of experience, Shino drove down the all to familiar path to Kiba's house. He knew right now that his parents weren't home, and neither was his sister. Getting him into the house would be simple enough. Now getting around Kiba's dogs would be the problem. Though Shino liked that Kiba's family adored dogs, dogs don't like him. The scent of a werewolf frightens them into a frenzy. He thought about intimidating them individually or to take out their alpha. Shino rolled his eyes; he didn't think his mate would appreciate cleaning up the remains of one of his pets.

He turned up into Kiba's driveway and parked the car. He could already hear the dogs stirring and barking inside. They could already smell him. He smirked a little to himself as he grabbed Kiba from the passenger seat. Some of his blood had smeared on the black leather interior but he just stared at it. Shino's head started to ache as he tried to shake the memories from his mind. Now was not the time to have his brain start going off on tangents. He tensed as he took a deep breath. His top half turned to look out of the car and sure enough there was a man standing there. No, there wasn't just one, there was someone with him. Shino's eyes widened when he saw another head attached to his neck. He could only assume the bitch mother who gave birth to him was an alpha female who mated with a male of lesser status or virility. He smelled the air again and that's when he noticed that the dogs in Kiba's house weren't barking at him, they were barking at the other male. Shino's eyes narrowed as he turned to fully look out of his car.

" Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?" Shino asked in a tone that was dripping with a warning. The other wolf looked up at, his dark gray hair shining slightly bluish in the sun. His lips were a strange teal color and he could only assume how the virus was affecting his system. Being bitten was one thing, but born into lycanthropy was completely different. Most litters of six pups would have at the most three survivors, who wouldn't usually see the light of their twentieth birthday.

" Who I am is currently unimportant; as for why I'm here…I think you can speculate that answer yourself, don't you?" Shino's eyebrow twitched with annoyance. It was one thing to be insulted, but to be insulted on your pack's turf by a rival or a rogue was the equivalent of slapping a pregnant woman in the face.

" You're trespassing on Uchiha territory and I'm a second to Uchiha Sasuke. I have authority for which you could only hope to accomplish. So I'll ask you again, who are you?"

" My, my, pretty cocky for someone who is under a Beta. Cocky, cocky little Gamma." He said with a slight 'tsk' at the end. Shino was starting to get really angry with this guy, but he knew he couldn't attack him unless the other wolf attacked first. One of the more annoying rules the Uchiha clan developed. " Have I shocked you into speechlessness? How fortunate for me. I have a little warning for you, Gamma. I'm going to take that boy away from you, and not you nor your Beta, nor your alpha can stop me. Let that fester awhile; I'll be back later."

Shino was about to lunge out of the car and completely rip the wolf to shreds when he morphed, in the middle of the morning, and took off running down the street. Shino growled angrily under his breath as Kiba started to moan, coming to his senses again. He looked down at his potential mate and sighed a little, completely thankful that Kiba hadn't heard or seen any of that exchange. It would only freak him out that much more.

" What the hell happened?" Kiba asked as Shino grabbed him. He blushed furiously as Shino lifted him up and pulled him out of the car. He started to beat on the wolf's shoulders and proceeded to only get growls in response. He began thinking that Shino wasn't going to do anything if he continued to hit him. But he was wrong…

Shino bit down on Kiba's arm, making him cry out with pain. But as quickly as the pain came, it dissipated just as fast. The wound was already starting to close up and stop dripping blood. Kiba stared at his arm in awe but Shino just smirked to himself. Soon the virus would be completely infused with his body, which was the most painful part of the transformation besides the first full moon.

" Kiba, I think you should stay home for the next few days. And if you go anywhere, go to Naruto. Sasuke has a group of Zetas watching him at all times. They'll protect you as well." Shino said suddenly. Kiba raised an eyebrow as he handed Shino the key to his door so they could get inside. He put the brunette down but he winced a little. The wound on his leg was still open.

" Why do is this wound still open? The one on my arm is healed! And why do I need more protection? Shouldn't that bite, mating thing, protect me?"

" Your leg is still injured because the virus hasn't worked its way completely through your system yet. It still in the upper half of your body, mostly clustered around your heart and slowly working through your blood. Eventually your body will start producing that bacterium like it produces new blood cells." Shino said as he opened the door, and helped a limping Kiba inside. He was surprised when the dogs didn't do anything to act against him, such as trying to bite him or barking. They just looked at him and wagged their tails. " And as for the mark; no, that's not what its designed to do. It is just a warning to other potential suitors that not only are you off the market, but that I'm protecting you, I guess you can say I'm important in the wolf sense, I'm the third in command for the Uchiha clan. When I introduce you to the pack, they call me Gamma far more than they call me Shino."

" Uh…Okay?" Kiba asked. " Does Naruto have to go through all this weirdness too?"

" Define weirdness…"

" Um, strange amounts of rules and names that don't really make sense to me." Shino smirked a little at that and then turned to Kiba. He started to walk up the stairs with Kiba and the brunette sighed a little. " Alright, he probably understands them way less than I do."

" He knows most of the mating laws, but I believe that is mostly Sasuke's fault." Shino said as he helped Kiba into his room. He walked out and into the bathroom, searching through it for the first aide kit he knew they had. He found it under the sink, the seal never broken, which was a slight surprise to him. One would assume with so many dogs there would be numerous amounts of rough playing and broken skin.

" Did you just indirectly tell me that Naruto and Sasuke are banging?" He said as the wolf walked back into the room. He smirked a little but then just shrugged.

" Perhaps I did. I'm not really allowed to say. Besides, it's much more fun asking Naruto in person. He gets so embarrassed and says some of the stupidest things." Kiba smiled a little at that. It was very too. Naruto was easily ruffle and flustered, especially when it came to sexual topics.

" Shino…You want me to stay home tomorrow, right?" Kiba asked as Shino started to sterilize and wrap up Kiba's leg. The wolf looked up and nodded. " If you stay with me, and give me all the answers I want, I'll stay home for as long as you want."

Shino was slightly stunned by that. He wasn't expecting Kiba to warm up to him so quickly after giving him the virus. But this was perfect for what was trying to be accomplished, and it would give Sasuke ample amounts of time to figure out who was stalking Kiba.

" Sounds good to me." Shino said finished up his wrap. " I'll come over when your parents leave tomorrow. Make sure to leave your window unlocked."
-

Dun, dun, dun, dun. Dun….Dun…Lol Anyway. So Kiba's being stalked by another male and Shino is gunna beat some ass!

Shino: I better beat some ass. I'ma be pissed if Sasuke is the only one who handles this
Me: Eh, don't worry Shino, I believe that this one has your name written all over it.
Kiba: -walks in- Name written on what?
Me: SHHHHHHH! This is the stuff you're not supposed to know about!
Shino: He's going to find out eventually…
Me: Yeah but the whole 'act surprised' thing doesn't work. I should know, I've done it before. No one believed I was surprised.
Kiba: Maybe that's because you're a terrible actress.
Me: …You're so lucky Shino's here, otherwise I'd kick you in the face! …This was Hitoko-sama.
