Hi Guy's sorry for the long delay. Life has been a pain in the arse! Anyways Chapter 29 :-) Enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: SAME AS FIRST CHAPTER!

It was mid-morning before the two lovers decided to head towards the mission office, laughing at each others jokes, basically goofing around. As they drew nearer to the mission office Kiba started to notice the strange stares, his ears twitched everytime someone whispered his name. Naruto on the other hand didn't pay any attention to the villagers, he was just happy to have Kiba living with him.

'Finally the future is looking brighter now I have someone to love.' he thought waiting for Hinako to say something, but it never came. Then he remembered what he done, a frown formed;

'I'm going have to confront her sooner or later...It's not going to be pretty.'

"Hey Naruto, you there?" asked Kiba while waving his hand infront of the blonds face.

"Hmm, sorry Kiba got lost in my own thoughts. Did you want me for something?" answered the teen sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah I did, we're at the mission office." informed the brunette pointing at the building. "If I didn't stop you, you would of continued walking to Kami know where." turning he walked into the building, dragging the embarrassed boy with him.

The mission room was pretty busy for that time of morning a lot of Genin's getting their D-ranks, something both boys are glad they don't have to do anymore, unless they royally piss of the Hokage. Walking through the room's once lively chatter dead in a second flat, all eyes were on them. Naruto fidgeted nervously, their eyes told more than what their faces didn't. Noticing the looks of disgust and curiosity, Kiba moved closer to the younger boy offering some comfort to him.

A pair of smoky brown eyes looked up from his work, surprised to see to see his two friends together after what happened last night. Ino came up to him this morning going on about how Kiba was exiled because he refused to leave Naruto.

'Man what a drag' thought the lazy Jōnin. He didn't care about gossip which spread around the village like wildfire, he knew both of them well enough that if they had something to tell them then they will.

"Naruto, Kiba." getting the attention of the teens, relief flashed across their uncertain faces walking up to the Nara. Before the boys got to his desk the older teen shot everyone a piercing look saying: 'Don't you have things to do.' kind of look, getting the message the mission room filled with chatter once again.

"What was all that about?" asked a frowning Naruto, looking around the office. The other two brunette's sighed as they both knew what it was all about. Shikamaru shared a silent conversation with Kiba, taking a deep breath Kiba turned to frowning boy and explained to him why everyone was acting the way they were;

"Naruto, do you have any idea why they watched us the way they did?" the whiskered teen shock his head. "It seemed last night after I was exiled the Elders decided to make it know that I was no longer an Inuzuka. Also they seemed to 'accidentally' let slip that your my mate." explained the taller Chūnin watching the various emotions flash across his lovers face. As the information sieved through the blonds mind, he looked up, his eyes meeting the hazel ones. Before he could say anything, Kiba raised his hand.

"Don't you dare say anything Naruto, I don't care about those old bags I chose you and I don't regret it. Not for one moment." stated the older boy with a authoritative tone, daring the blond to argue with him. Naruto turned his head away, folding his arms and pouted, mumbling about insufferable mutts.

Turning back to the lazy Brunette, Kiba smirked while Shikamaru rolled his eyes. Remembering why they went there Naruto strolled up to the desk standing next to the tattooed teen.

"Hey Shika any missions for a two man cell?" he asked enthusiastically eyeing all the scroll around the Jōnin.

"Troublesome." was all he muttered as he handed them their mission scroll. Catching it effortlessly Naruto untied the document, and began to scan its context. Once done he handed it to his partner;

"Where are the files we're supposed to deliver to the Winds Daimyo?" inquired the blond. All ready anticipating the what he was going to say, a sealed scroll laid on the table: Red and Blue ribbons tied the scroll shut.

"Anything else that we need to know before we leave?" probed Kiba, his gut telling him that something wasn't right.

"There is one more thing, Tsunade-sama asked me to give you this note." handing him a folded piece of paper. The brunette tentatively took the note and proceeded to read it, a slight smirk spread across his face as his he absorbed the text. Curiosity was getting the better of Naruto so he tried to have a peak at what the note said.

"Kiba what does Baa-chan want?" no longer able to control his curiosity, he tried to grab the piece of paper off his lover with little success. This lasted for a few minutes of Kiba keeping it out of the smaller boys reach, getting fed up with being teased Naruto formed his signature move;

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" three identical copies appeared, taking the older boy by surprise. Before he could form even a syllable he was tackled to the floor, two clones securing his legs while the original and the remaining clone grabbed his arms. Struggling against his captors, Kiba twist and turned as much as he could but the blond had him pinned.

"Naruto get off me now!" the brunette growled trying in vain to get out of the pin. "If you don't, you'll regret it big time." Naruto's eyes shone with mischief, a fox grin adding to his gleeful look.

"We could do this the hard way or the easy way, mutt. Your choose." eyeing the struggling teen. "I'm personally hoping you'll choose the hard way. That way I can kick your arse." stated the blond teen as he knelt down and pried the note out of Kiba's clutched hand. Eagerly he unfolded the scrunched up piece of paper, suddenly it spontaneously caught alight. In seconds the note turned into ash, leaving a wide eyed, speechless blond. Three puffs of smoke erupted freeing the detained brunette, seeing the boy in shock he got up off the floor while dusting himself down, grabbed Naruto around the waist, half carrying half dragging him out of the office.

Finally when Naruto snapped out of his shocked state he turned bright red at how he was getting escorted out of the room. Half of him wanted to stay in the some what awkward embrace, but the other half wanted to punch the brunette to a pulp for carrying him like he was. The violent side of the whiskered teen prevailed, grabbing the unsuspecting teens arm and launched him over his shoulder sending him onto the floor. In a matter of seconds Kiba's world was turned upside down everything went white as he connected to the floor harshly. Groaning Kiba cracked open an eyelid gazing at the pissed off teen standing menacingly over him.

"Pick me up like that infront of anyone again mutt, I will personally castrate you." threatened the blond, meaning every word. Not even waiting for an answer he walked off, not even giving the floored Chūnin a glance.

"Owww." groaned Kiba as he tried to lift his sore body of the tilled floor. All his muscles screaming for him to stay still. "Why the hell did he do that for?" rubbing his throbbing head. "Man it's like he turned into a pissed off Sakura." a shudder rippled down his spine, along with some disturbing of his blond swinging people around by their arms, and then launching them in in any direction.

'Oh, well best not keep him waiting any longer or I could end up hospitalised.' thought the brunette as he steadily got up ignoring the dull ache across his body. Giving the corridor a finale glance he felt.

Once Naruto left the office he took off jumping from one roof top to another, his mind swirling with disorganise thoughts, as soon as he grabbed hold of one, six more joined the chaotic whirlpool. An aggravated sign left his rose lips as he move towards Hokage Monument. Minutes passed by until he reached his favourite spot in the entire village, gazing out onto the world beyond the great walls which protected his home. Sitting on the dusty floor, he crossed his legs in the lotus position, taking deep breaths and then releasing them slowly. This happened a few more times until he went to his mindscape, the sound of dripping water greeted his senses as he became aware of his surroundings. Opening his eyes he got up and began his journey towards Kyuubi's cage, anxiety crept in as he drew nearer. Reaching the mouth of the corridor he was hit with a blast of K.I, something he has only experienced once. Naruto collapsed onto his knees gasping for breath, his instincts telling him to flee, but the foulness and the pure terror of it kept him where he was.

"You dare show yourself Uzumaki?" growled a demonic voice, blood red eyes shone through the darkness of the cage. An other flare of K.I added to the already suffocating amount, all the blond could do was to try and breath. "You thought I would be happy to see you, boy? Did you?" One of her tails shot out through the bars and smacked the teen with it launching him clear across the room.

A sickening smack echoed through out the room, as the dust and broken pipes cleared a small impact craters grew viable. A black shadow fell from the hole plummeting towards the water beneath, red eyes followed the falling object as it collided with the water.

SPLASH!

Massive ripples rolled across the water lapping up against the sides of the walls, in seconds the object floated up to the unsettled surface. The crippled form of the blond drifted towards Kyuubi's cage, a snarl etched across the demons features.

"You are lucky human that I need you if I want to survive." a clawed hand picked up the limp body, bring it up to her eye level. "Until we meet again." with that Naruto was rejected from his mindscape.

All his senses were returning slowly, it was as if all of his senses were blocked for all of his life. And for the first time everything was opened to him; the light smell of the Cherry Blossom being carried down by a light warm breeze. His hearing seemed to have become more sensitive, the sounds of the forest filled his ears like soft music. Smiling slightly he tilted his head breathing in deeply, a familiar scent drifted up his nostrils. Each passing second it grew stronger until it completely enveloped him, the warm presence of his lover. Opening his ocean coloured eyes he was met by deep chocolate coloured once, full of worry.

"Hey." greeted Naruto, stretching all his sore muscles. Breathing out a content sigh as all his muscles and joints popped, peeking at the older boy, he noticed that he still worrying about something.

"Why are you so worried for?" inquired the whiskered teen.

"Why is your nose bleeding for?" pointed out the Kiba, while going through his pocket for a clean tissue. Frowning slightly Naruto brought his hand up to his nose;

"Ouch." as he pulled his hand away from his face. Tentatively he looked down at his hand and sure enough there was the rich ruby blood on his fingers. Flinching when he felt the the coarse texture of the tissue wiping up the red liquid. A faint blush spread across his scared cheeks as Kiba cleaned the flushing teen up.

"How did you get a nose bleed?" asked the older Chūnin as he finished of his task. "There." hazel eyes inspected his handy work, feeling please with himself. "Your evading my question Naruto." as he searched the boy infront of him.

"I...I err went to talk to Kyuubi." diverting his eyes finding the floor far more interesting than looking his lover in the eye. "And she was...sort of...unhappy to see me."

"That doesn't even come close how I felt." mumbled Hinako even though her host couldn't hear a word she said, which just pissed her off even more. "When you put the seal back how it was, I'm going to give you such a tongue lashing." every word promising what was threatened.

"Really?" asked Kiba sceptically eyeing the blond. "Why don't go you go back and try to make up with her?" Naruto's face went white as a sheet, pure and utter fear flashed across his stricken face. "I thought so. You really know how to piss people off Naruto." chuckled Kiba walking closer to his lover. Still smiling he lightly kissed the teens cheek before pulling back. "Come on we have a mission to complete." Shaking himself out of his oblivious state the blond run up to him and jumped on him, laughing loudly as Kiba stumbled about trying to find his balance.

"Come on!" shouted Naruto the million watt smile never fading. "To the East gate." pointing in the general direction of their destination. Playing alone with the bubbly Chūnin he made sure Naruto was secure before dashing off, his merriment merged with Naruto's as they laughed.

In a matter of minutes they reached the East gate, Akamaru was waiting there patiently next to the massive ninken two rucksacks sat. Spotting his best friend Kiba didn't watch where he was going, not seeing a random rock in his path. From there it went down hill, the moment he tripped Naruto went flying off him and he tumbled around the floor, kicking up a fair amount of dust. Akamaru rushed up to his companion making sure he was alright, hearing a groan from his master he bounded to where Naruto disappeared.

Shakily Kiba stood up and dusted himself down, glancing around he saw the stone and stared at it wishing it would burst into flames. A bark caught his attention knowing that bark anywhere he rushed off, in seconds he found Akamaru sitting next to a still blond. Anxiously he firmly took the boys shoulder and rolled him over, as he did sparking sapphire eyes looked up at him along with a huge grin showing his teeth. Seeing he was alright he held out a hand, taking the outstretched hand Naruto pulled himself up.

"Right, lets go!" shout Naruto while grabbing his bag and strolled out of the open gate. Kiba looking annoyed grabbed his rucksack and ran to catch up with the his teammate.
