Enjoy the story :-)
A high moon covered Earth country in an eerie glow, black shadows streaked through the valleys. The pack of ninja dogs felt the approaching shadows, a shiver rippled down their spines making all their hair stand on end.
"What's going on Pakkun?" groaned out Kakashi as he unsteadily sat up. The pack gathered around him ready for his orders, none were given. Pakkun walked up to the Jōnin, watching him closely;
"Something is moving, the balance of nature is tipping." gravely stated the pug they all could feel the shift in nature. Something was going to happen. "You seem to know what I'm talking about, but how?"
"I've been having images flashing across my mind, some of them making no sense while others clear as day." Closing his onyx eye he was getting ready to speak when a icy chill plagued the cave. The pack spun around in attacking positions growling lowly, five black wolves emerged from the shadows walking infront of a figure. Kakashi shakily stood up getting ready to fight if it came to it, which seemed more than likely. Closer the wolves grew their teeth bare growling at the ninja dogs, who too ready themselves to fight. Manic laughter filled the cave sending a chill down their spins, the Jōnin turned his attention to the figure entering the gave. A long black cloak covered the persons body from head to toe. Gliding across the floor the figure drew closer to the only source of light in the gave, then stopped just behind the black beast. A stare off between the five black wolves and the eight ninja dogs, the ex-ANBU drew his kunai ready to fight along side his companions.
"Now now boys be nice to each other." stated a women scratching the back off the lead wolfs ear. "Is this anyway to treat our guest?" in a mock caring voice, the wolves growled lower than before. Tension was running high, muscles coiled ready to spring into action. "Kill them. But I want Kakashi alive if possible."
With a howl both sides collided, the raw animistic nature of the beast emerged. Biting, scratching and gauging, Pukkun got chucked aside colliding with the adjacent wall as if he weighed nothing. Kakashi couldn't move some how he was bond, all he could do was watch his comrades battle against they're aggressors.
"We can't have you helping them now can we." he felt the sharp edge of a blade against his throat. Blood was smeared everywhere tufts of fur decorating the floor, the odds seemed in favour with the dogs but the wolves where far stronger than they looked. Both sides were at each others throats, the sounds of barking, growling and the occasional whimper of a wounded canine. Minutes past as the beast fought slowly one by one the ninja dogs were thrown down in defeat, the pit bull was the past one standing. It's breathing staggered deep wound glistening in the warm glow given of by the fire, the five demon wolves etched forward pushing the pit bull into a wall. Their soulless eyes narrowing in the split second they launched themselves onto the trapped dog, Kakashi closed his onyx eye but the sound resonated around the cave making it seem there were more than there was. The large canine was brought down snapping their jaws around his legs puncturing the skin causing him agonizing pain, struggling against their hold. Tighter their jaws gripped the animals legs, the lead wolf lunged at the dogs neck biting and twisting a howl of pain pierced the Jōnin's ears opening his eye he watched as the blood ran down the black fur.
"Well now they're out of the way, it's time to get the main attraction underway." the cloaked figure stated excitedly jabbing the of Kakashi's neck rendering him unconscious. "Come we have things to do." the wolves walked up to the cloaked figure holding an unconscious Kakashi. In a blink of an eye they were gone leaving the corpses and a still crackling fire.
The Cloaked reappeared in a small encampment soldiers bowing lowly to the figure.
"Is everything ready?" inquired the female passing the still unconscious Jōnin onto the soldiers.
"Everything has been prepare liked you've asked" bowing his head when talking to her.
"Good, see to it that Kakashi Hatake is made...comfortable."she said before disappearing into a tent leaving the soldiers to get on with their orders.
Kiba and Akamaru walked towards the main gate where they were meeting the rest of his team, they had a B-rank to complete in three days. Kurenai motioned for them to hurry up which they did, both Shino and Hinata greeted the pair putting on a happy face he returned their greeting.
"Right lets move out." instructed the Jōnin instructor taking point the three students walking behind. As they made their way down the path they bumped into Naruto returning from his eighth mission in two days, that's how long it's been two long days since Kiba last saw his blond.
"Hello Kurenai-Sensie, Hinata, Shino, Akamaru..." his blue eyes met brown. "Dog-Breath" the older teen noticed the once azure eyes full of life were dead, his aching heart clenched at the site of the whiskered teens eyes.
"Sensie you go ahead I'll catch up with you after I ask Naruto something." he said silently pleading his teacher to go ahead.
"Don't be long, you have twenty minutes to meet us at the river." stated the genjutsu user, with that she disappeared into the trees his teammates following. Turning around he faced the younger teen his body language clearly stated he doesn't want to talk, taking a deep breath he moved closer to the boy who backed away in turn. A sinking feeling entered his stomach, gazing at the floor feeling completely helpless, time seemed to stand still having enough of just standing there the boy began to walk away. Instinctively grabbing hold of the blonds arm he pulled him into a hug, feeling a warm hand grab his arm and the sudden movement he collided with the hard body. The moment he collided with the body he brought his knee up into Kiba's crotch, causing the brunette to double over in complete pain. The large white dog whimpered at the site of his master clutching his privates. Tears of pain emerged at the corner of the tattooed teens eyes, cracking a eye open he noticed the still dead look in Naruto's ocean blue eyes.
"Touch me again like that Inuzuka and I'll won't hesitate to cause you more pain." threatened the blond meaning what he said. "Actually don't bother to come near me again ever. I thought you were different, I thought that my heart was safe in your hands, but obviously I don't mean anything to you." Kiba tried to speak but he couldn't. "What did you thought I'll get the demon to fall in love with me, and then fuck him. Huh was that it? To get the demon to think that he has finally found someone and then go and break it's heart?" shouted the teen, anger merging with his words. Shakily getting up Kiba looked straight at the boy infront of him.
"It's not like that Naruto and you know it."
"How is it then Kiba? You completely forgot to tell me about the law concerning us having sex while being outside the clan. If you did fucking love me you would of told me, but it just shows that they were empty words and I was just an easy shag." spat out the blond his anger boiling beneath the surface.
"I do love you Naruto why can't you see that? I know I should of told you but I wasn't expecting it to happen that day." reassured the teen, but the younger boy shock his head and turned and walked away not even glancing back. Kiba stared after him rooted to the spot, for once he didn't know what to do.
"I do love you with all my heart." whispered Kiba, taking one last glance at the retreating boy he took off into the trees. Sensing the pair disappearing into the trees Tsunade emerged from her hiding spot going over what she just witness;
'It seems I'm going to have a word with Tsume about this.' she thought disappearing in a swirl of leaves. Arriving at the mission office ahead of the knucklehead well what's left of his original personality, it was as if he destroyed it and became cold hearted. Hearing the door opening she looked up and was greeted by a stone faced Naruto. He merely walked up to her handing over his report not saying a word to here, she skimmed over it's contents.
"Very good Naruto, you can have tomorrow off to recuperate no arguing with me Uzumaki." stated Tsunade sternly, daring him to back chat her. He just stood there waiting to be dismissed, the Fifth took a deep breath. "Your pay will be deposited into your account like normal." taking that as his dismissal he bowed his head to her then left.
'This has to be sorted before damage to both of them is permanent' with a tap off her finger a ANBU kneeled before her.
"Get Tsume Inuzuka to meet me in my office asap!" barked the Fifth watching the ANBU carry out their order. "The room is all your Shizune." receiving conformation that her apprentice heard her she left.
Tsume was in the kitchen when the ANBU appeared, it wasn't often a ANBU member would personally come and give her missions on the Hokage's orders.
"The Fifth as summoned you to her office asap." relaid the masked ninja before disappearing in a plum of smoke.
"What do you think the Hokage wants with you?" asked the old dog walking into the kitchen.
"I don't know maybe it's a mission she needs to have done. What ever it is we're gonna find out." stated the Matriarch leaving for the Hokage Mansion. The duo arrived in excellent time bowing to their leader who's back was turned to them.
"You summoned me Hokage-Sama?" she asked confidently expecting the women infront of her to started briefing her on a mission.
"I did Tsume we have a lot to talk about." facing the clan head sitting in her chair. The medi-nin's face remained neutral. Tsume was getting the feeling it wasn't to do with a mission.
"Do you know what's going on between your son and my godson?" asked the Fifth with a undertone of protectiveness of the teen. Kuromaru glanced at his partner wondering what she was going to say, they weren't just talking to the Hokage they were talking to Naruto's godmother who could be a lot more terrifying than just being Hokage. The villagers and some of the shinobi learnt that the hard way e.i shop owners having their shops reduced to rubble and hefty fines for seeing crap goods to the whiskered boy, and the shinobi well let just say intensive care was never so packed in one day.
"What do you mean Tsunade-Sama?" wondering what has happened since she last saw Naruto or son for that matter.
"I've noticed Naruto has become cold, constantly wanting missions no matter what they are. As well what I over heard while team eight and Naruto crossed paths." her eyes narrowing slightly. "I know they have had sex, but that's not the point. The point is that if something isn't done to rectify what damage has been done then they are the living dead, unable to love again closing their hearts of forever. Which could cause fatalities." concluded the blond watching Tsume.
"I'm the one who has caused the heartache between them." confessed the Jōnin diverting her gaze anywhere but infront.
"How" a spike of K.I and chakra slipped the godmother's control. Both felt the Hokage's anger, they both knew it was best to explain what happened. So taking a deep breath she explained what happened and how guilty she felt after she had a chance to calm down.
"You have two weeks rectify your mistake or heads will roll. Do I make myself clear." the fifth threatened, taking that as their dismissal they left.
Team eight arrived at their destination booking in for the night at a hotel. Kurenai gathered the teens in the foyer of the hotel.
"Right I want everyone to meet here at eight thirty tomorrow morning, until then you are free to explore but be careful." with that she left for the spar, Hinata went with her saying it's been a long time since she treated herself. And Shino said he was going to scout out the area in not so many words, just leaving Kiba and Akamaru.
"If you want buddy you can go explore the gardens and the lake which is in the centre of the gardens." suggested the teen, the canine wagged his tail at the thought. "But do not screw anything up boy please just behave." he added pleading with his companion not to do anything stupid. Now he was alone not knowing what to do he wondered around aimlessly, his mind full of thoughts of why his Naruto wouldn't want him near him.
"Can I help you sir?" he was taken out of his mind by a young waitress she looked around his age with blond hair tied in a tight bun with a pair of chop sticks crossing through her hair.
"Oh...yeah table for one please and can it be isolated as well." forcing a smile on his face, the young girl grabbed a menu and showed the Chūnin to a booth in the far corner. The room was full of couples some with children eating a late dinner or drinking and having a laugh. The mood in the room was relaxing, they reached his booth just as he asked it was out of the way. Sliding in and getting comfortable the blond haired waitress handed him the menu.
"Is there anything you would like to order?" professionally asked the girl waiting for his response while he looked over the menu contents.
"Yes I would like a large steak medium rare with potatoes and veg." he stated while licking his lips, she jotted down his order;
"Any drinks?" guessing what he was going to ask but she asked anyway.
"Sake?" he quietly ask while looking at her, she gave him a small smile and nodded. "Thanks" was all he could say. Taking the menu away for him she left to give the order to the kitchen staff, leaving the boy to his thoughts. Five minutes passed when she returned with a large bottle of sake and a cup matching the bottle, then left Kiba poured him some and downed it in one go ignoring the after taste.
Back in Konoha Naruto left his apartment and proceeded to walk to the Hokage monument, the night air was warm on his tanned skin. Thirty minutes passed until he made it on top of the of the monument, walking automatically to sit on the fourth's head. When ever he sat there he felt safer here than anywhere else except Kiba's arms, laying down on top of the stone face he looked up at the stars. The night sky was clear of any clouds and no moon, just hundred of thousands of stars shining brightly in the night sky.
'They look bright to night.'
Sensing two familiar chakra signatures approaching him, he closed his eyes to saver the moment. The got up and walked towards the pair which were approaching him, he didn't except to see Tsume and Kuromaru. When they meet an uncomfortable silence gripped them, Naruto was the first to speak;
"I take it that you wanted to see me?" his tone cold, his blue eyes hardened as he looked at the Jōnin infront of him.
"I wanted to talk to you about what happened two night ago." stated the fanged brunette.
Kiba sat there staring into his sake oblivious of what's going on around him, couples sat there talking to each other with smiles on their faces.
"And finally tonight's final performer singing 'Lover's Tears'." introduced a voice over the speakers, the lights dimmed and a lady walked into the spot light. She wore a rich purple kimono with white flowers embroiled onto the fabric. Couples took to the dance for ready to slow dance to he music.
The piano opened the song with a few notes then the rest of the band came together when the singer started to sing. The music started to drifted it's way to Kiba's ears and the soft melody and meaningful words went to his heart. He listened to the words:
wei shen me yao dui ni diao yan lei
why must my tears fall for you?
ni nan dao bu ming bai wei liao ai
do you not understand that it is for love?
zhi you na you qin ren yan lei zui zhen gui
only the tears of that lover are they most precious
yi ke ke yan lei dou shi ai dou shi ai
every single drop of tear is love, is love
wei shen me yao dui ni diao yan lei
why must my tears fall for you?
ni nan dao bu ming bai wei liao ai
do you not understand that it is for love?
yao bu shi you qing lang gen wo yao fen kai
if it wasn't for my lover wanting to break up with me
wo de yan lei bu hui diao xia lai diao xia lai
my tears wouldn't fall, wouldn't fall
hao chun cai lai chun hua zheng kai
springtime just arrived, the flowers are blooming
ni zhen she de shuo zai hui
how do you bear to bide goodbye?
wo zai shen gui wang chuan qiu shui
within my room I anxiously pined
ni bu yao wang le wo qing shen shen ru hai
you wouldn't forget my love that is as deep as the sea
wei shen me yao dui ni diao yan lei
why must my tears fall for you?
ni nan dao bu ming bai wei liao ai
do you not understand that it is for love?
yao bu shi you qing lang gen wo yao fen kai
if it wasn't for my lover wanting to break up with me
wo de yan lei bu hui diao xia lai diao xia lai
my tears wouldn't fall, wouldn't fall
The trumpet took point doing a beautiful solo, the couples danced in time with the beat of the music. Tears were streaming down tattooed cheeks falling like rain onto the polished table underneath, his once rich chocolate brown eyes were no red and full of emotions. No matter how much he whipped at his eyes to get rid of the tears they still fell.
hao chun cai lai chun hua zheng kai
springtime just arrived, the flowers are blooming
ni zhen she de shuo zai hui
how do you bear to bide goodbye?
wo zai shen gui wang chuan qiu shui
within my room I anxiously pined
ni bu yao wang le wo qing shen shen ru hai
you wouldn't forget my love that is as deep as the sea
wei shen me yao dui ni diao yan lei
why must my tears fall for you?
ni nan dao bu ming bai wei liao ai

yao bu shi you qing lang gen wo yao fen kai
if it wasn't for my lover wanting to break up with me
wo de yan lei bu hui diao xia lai diao xia lai
my tears wouldn't fall, wouldn't fall
The music came together gracefully finishing the song, applause exploded from the rooms occupants all except from the Chūnin.
Hinata went looking for her loud-mouthed companion, she looked everywhere the last place she could think of was the bar. As the blue haired ninja walked towards the room music drifted through the double doors, she opened the doors and walked in. The first thing she noticed was the dance floor was full of people slow dancing together, her cheeks blushed slightly at the thought of her and Shino dancing together like that. The waitress which first served Kiba came over to the Heiress and greeted her, Hinata asked has she seen her teammate the blond haired girl nodded;
"He's sitting over there and hasn't moved for nearly two hours." she said sadly pointing out Kiba's booth to Hinata.
"Thank you for your help." replied Hinata bowing slightly and began to make her way over to the booth, the song finished as she made it there. She stopped dead when see got there, Kiba was had his head in his crossed arms his body shaking.
"Kiba what's up?" timidly asked Hinata looking at the boy. Upon hearing his teammates voice he lifted his head quickly whipping away his tears trying to make it look like he hasn't just cried. Sitting next to him her lavender eyes soften.
"What's up Kiba?" she repeated, the brunette shock his head saying;
"Nothings up Hinata, anyways I better be get to bed. G'night." and left without a second glance. Watching him leave she shocked her head and left herself.
In Konoha a certain blond laid on his bed staring out of his window looking up at the stars, his mind was on the conversation he had with Tsume that night.
'When he gets back I'm gonna have a talk to Kiba and apologies how I treated him. And if he would still have me as a lover.'
"I love you too Kiba and I'm sorry."
With that he climbed under his sheets and feel asleep with a small smile on his face.
