A/N: Hey guys I had some free time so I decided to write another chapter! XOXO

Chapter 2:

Perspective: Akemi

I continued to stare at him in shock as I watched him walk over and pick up little "Akamaru" apparently the dog's name. "How-" I began asking until he put his hand up as a motion to stop.

"No, I didn't find you. It was all thanks to this little guy." He petted Akamaru's head. "In fact, I was hoping we would see each other again." He smirked. "What's your name?"

I felt my cheeks flush a light pink and quickly put my head down. "Oh, Akemi. I wanted to see you again too. That is, I just wanted to repay you or Akamaru for before." I said quickly ending with the last part.

"Well Akemi, call me Kiba. Why don't we head over to the pet store." He already turned and began walking down the road.

Kiba. I thought, as I stared at the back of his fur coat. What a nice name. I quickly hurried after him.

"Hello, welcome to Pet World. Please ask if you need any assistance." The lady at the front said.

We headed over to the dog aisle as Akamaru was running a few feet ahead of us already knowing where the dog treats were. I laughed as I watched him drool and pound on the glass looking at the square and circle dog treats in awe. I grabbed a few bags and bought them at the cashier. Kiba was looking at other things when I told him I got the treats, he smiled and called Akamaru over and we left the store.

"Here you go. Dog treats for little Akamaru." I handed the bags over to Kiba and gave one to Akamaru who devoured the square treat in seconds. He happily wagged his tail and looked up at me.

"Well he forgives you now and I think he likes you." Kiba watched as Akamaru did laps around my feet. He looked up straight into my eyes and quickly looked away. I thought I caught him being a bit shy at that moment but the suspicion went away when he jokingly looked and the bags and made a face.

"So no treats for me?" He pouted while licking his lips.

I grew a bright red and grabbed Vanilla candy out of my bag and threw it at him. "Y-you can have those." I turned and marched away heading back home in embarrassment.

I could hear the sound of his howl like laughter as he plopped one of the candies in his mouth while running after me with Akamaru right beside him.

As I turned to the gate of my house I looked behind me. Kiba and Akamaru were still standing there as both of them were munching on their treats.

"You don't have someplace to be?" I questioned looking at them still standing there motionless.

"I live right there" He pointed to a two-story house on the other side of the road directly opposite from mine. "moved in about a week ago."

My mouth dropped down in shock, I couldn't believe his words. He lives this close to me?

"Well I guess I'll see you around, neighbor." He walked over to his house as Akamaru gave a little bark and followed close behind him.
