Warning for this chapter: Some Kiba, Shino fluff.

Chapter 6

"What are they talking about? Did you hear anything?"

"Shut up already, and no, Naruto's being stupid – as always, and the Uchiha is annoyed, as always."

"Something's happened Shino, I know it, but I can't remember what."

"Why don't you just go and ask them then?"

"Because if they wanted to tell me, they would have."

"Then but out. Now are we on our date or not?" Shino lowered his glasses to stare pointedly at Kiba.

The bug boy and Kiba had hit it off only weeks after Naruto's and Kiba's break up, for over a year now.

"We're on a date." Kiba looked at his food then sighed.

"What's bothering you Kiba?" Shino's mid night black eyes connected with Kiba's chocolate brown ones, prodding for a true answer.

"Its just that…" Kiba sighed once more, "I wasn't feeling right, and I can't recall what I did. Mom told me to stay away from them, especially Naruto, and I don't know why. I just remember waking up in the hospital. Sakura was sniffing and then she turned away from me. I know I did something wrong Shino."

It hurt Shino to see Kiba so upset and unlike his loud self.

"Do you want me to let the bug follow them? They're bound to mention it sooner or later."

"You'd do that? That would be awesome."

"Now cheer up." Shino leaned across the two seater table and pecked his lover's lips.

The Inuzuka smiled devilishly. "Maybe one more of that just might do the trick."

Shino burned red under the high collar of his jacket and dark glasses.

(-_-) (-_-)

"Mmm, this is good." Naruto commented, licking at his finger tips slowly.

Sasuke only watched in mild interest,

"Want some?"

Sasuke was about to deny, but found one of Naruto's barbecue coated fingers at his mouth. He rose a brow then moved to take the finger in his mouth.

The blonde's throat went dry at the contact. He had only meant it as a joke, but this was making him hot, the temperature rose several degrees. "S-Sasuke, stop." He pulled his hand away quickly, then looked at his middle finger. Heat pooled in areas making him slightly uncomfortable. He looked away his cheeks bright. In the background, he heard some hoots.

"You're such a dobe." But Sasuke felt it too. He wanted his blonde, all of him.

As if reading his mind, Naruto smiled then said, "I'm glad I gave myself to you."

Sasuke smiled softly, the lights in the restaurant were dim, and it enhanced the rare beauty of his smile. "Me too."

After dinner was finished, the couple headed for desert – ramen. Sasuke really wanted to protest, but he loved seeing Naruto so happy, so he obliged. In truth, he was stuffed.

"Ne, Sasuke?"

"Hn?"

"What about Nabi?"

"What's that?"

"A name for the baby."

"No." The Uchiha stiffened, "Why that?" he burned with inner jealousy. Both he and Naruto had agreed to adopt babies along the line, both knowing neither wanted to impregnate a woman. Sasuke wanted his clan revived, but Kiba beat him to an heir. Kiba was lesser than him, a puppy – whisperer, why should his precious Naruto, the Rokudaime to be have such a pathetic man's baby?"

"Yeah, that was random." Naruto snorted. As usual, he was oblivious to the Uchiha's tension. "Any suggestions yet?"

"Naru, we have another eight and a half months to decide; lets just take it one step at a time."

A small bug on the side of Naruto's sandal relayed the information to its master.

"A baby, they're adopting? That was quick." Kiba was petting Shino's hair as the dark haired shinobi lay on his chest.

"Maybe we should stop prying now." He suggested wearily. He knew things were going to be said that he didn't wish to hear.

"Not until I know, Shino-chan." Kiba kissed him on his swollen lips affectionately, distracting Shino enough so he just sighed contentedly and huddled closer to his warmth

(-_-) (-_-)

"Had enough?"

"One more, please?" The blonde had seven bowls piled on each other and he was sweating from the heat.

"No more. You said that four bowls ago." Sasuke quickly stood up, then growled when his pockets would be empty after this date.

"Fine – fine, be a bastard about it." The blonde got up then stretched. He wriggled a bit to get comfortable, "let's go home, I'm thirsty. I want ginger ale."

Sasuke sweat dropped in his head – no one could see it in real life. "You're eating way too much." He muttered under his breath.

"So?"

"I wont be surprised when you triple your size." It was meant as a playful jab.

Naruto never responded. Sasuje smirked on the inside at that.

The walk home was silent, "Dobe?"

"Don't talk to me."

"Why not?"

"You want me to be fat," the blonde approached the door speedily, "so you and everybody else can laugh at me."

"When did I say that?"

"Don't play smart ass with me." Naruto hit the door, "Open it!"

Sasuke sighed then opened it. Naruto stormed to his room. Sasuke grimaced, this wasn't their first fight, but it was the only one he had lost. Something told him it wouldn't be his fist loss for a long time to come.
