Naruto woke up to the feeling of something furry under him which was strange to him. Still with his eyes closed he tried to remember what happened that obviously caused him to pass out. The blond vaguely remembered tripping on a then invisible string after lecturing Kiba about sticking to their mission.

‘Oh great, I probably triggered a trap or something that left me unconscious. Darn, I probably made an ass of myself in front of dog breath’ He sighed deeply involuntarily causing hair to come into his mouth.

The blond instantly sat up spitting out the hairs in his mouth as he heard barking and laughter. He peered his eyes open for the first time since he came into and noted he was riding on Akamaru. ‘How did this happen?’

“Finally woke up from your beauty sleep I see” Said Kiba to his right trying and failing to suppress his laughter. Akamaru stopped walking and Naruto was quick to dismount him.

“Well whatever, thanks for you concern” voiced Naruto with palpable sarcasm.

Kiba decided to overlook it and opted to remain playful. “You really scared me there you know. I thought you blew up into well, um… pieces!” He exclaimed making hand gestures with one hand of something blowing up while placing his other hand on Naruto’s shoulder. A hand that was immediately shrugged off.

The agitated blond locked eyes with Kiba somewhat intimidating the brunet. “Well I’m fine now as you can see so there’s no need for false worry.” After breaking eye contact he took a step ahead and completely loss his balance. Thankfully Kiba was quick to react and grabbed him before he could hit the ground.

“Whoa there, take it easy!” said the Inuzuka while he steadied Naruto up. “You just came out without a scratch of something that would have killed pretty much anyone else.”

“Well lucky for me I ain’t like anybody else am I?” shot back Naruto with disdain as he pulled away from Kiba’s hold.

Kiba, visibly upset by Naruto’s antagonism, frowned and dropped his shoulders in defeat. “Look Naruto, I’m just trying to be a pal here.” He tried to catch the blond’s gaze before continuing but only succeeded in making himself more flustered. “I’m already aware of why you are a fast healer but I also know you need rest to do it.”

“Hmp” was the jinchuriki’s only reply as he raised his chin up obviously not willing to conceive in any weakness. But then when he looked down on himself he noticed how burned and completely battered up his clothes were, and that he was missing a shoe. Then he watched Kiba with corner of his eye and sighed loudly. ‘Guess I kinda owe him for not leaving me behind back there’

“Fine, I see your point. What is it that you propose we do?” said Naruto loosing the sting in his voice.

Consequently Kiba’s mood brightened once again. “I knew you’d come around” he said with an instant grin plastered on his face. This only made Naruto “tsk” in return yet it did not deter the Inuzuka. “I was thinking you should probably ride Akamaru here till we get home. He won’t mind.”

Naruto quickly studied mentioned dog and it definitely looked like he indeed minded. The blond inwardly snickered when he caught the look Kiba gave his canine companion nonverbally telling it he had no choice in the matter.

“Alright, but only until we get close to the village. I’m sure I’ll be at a 100 percent once we get there.” said the whiskered teen as he mounted Akamaru once again unapologetically. After all, he always thought he deserved to be treated like royalty and it’s not like he cared if he was liked by anyone anymore.

Akamaru was very displeased with the arrangement. He really didn’t feel like carrying around what he labeled as a ‘blond bitch’. But it was his master’s wish and Naruto was injured so he guessed he’ll put up with it for now. Of course, that didn’t mean he was going to be a good sport about it. ‘Naruto better keep his eyes open because this is going to be a bumpy ride’ he thought. Now it was Akamaru’s turn to snicker inwardly.

Meanwhile Kiba was busy having thoughts of his own. It was true that he was perfectly aware of the blonde’s rapid recovery issues. Half a year before before Naruto came back from his training with Jiraiya the Hokage summoned the remaining members of his graduating class right after the last of them made chunnin. She thoroughly explained the kyuubi situation to them and the dangers following Naruto like the Akatsuki

Tsunade knew it was more than likely that they would find themselves involved because of their familiarity with Naruto. Basically she felt she owed it to them to let them know exactly what they would be dealing with now that they moved up in their ninja ranks. She had also sent word of it to Gai’s team for the same basic principal.

At the time everyone was left stunned, shocked and confused about the revelation. But no one seemed to take it worst than Sakura. She was openly beating herself up for the way she treated Naruto and how oblivious she was to her teammates’ suffering. Not able to control her tears she outright demanded more answers from the Hokage. She wanted to know everything about both her teammates and undoubtedly refused to be left in the dark any longer.

Both his team and the members of Ino’s team got together that night. All six shared their takes, thoughts, worries, fears and sympathies with each other. It proved to be a long night but in the end they all agreed to not dwell on the situation any longer and to just take things as they came. Yet sometime later, right before Asuma’s death, Shikamaru made it clear to his sensei that he wanted to be more involve in everything that concerned the Akatsuki.

They also agreed not to treat Naruto any different for it because they knew it wasn’t his fault all this was happening so they wouldn’t put the blame on him. Of course back then Kiba thought it would be easy as he had yet to see how undeniably hot the jinchuriki had become.

To wrap it up it still amazed Kiba all the advantages the demon fox gave Naruto but he didn’t envy in the least the high cost those advantages came with. Turning his gaze back to Naruto’s roughen up body he couldn’t help but to blush when his mind provided dirty images better saved for the night of what he could be doing right now with his mission partner. But then another thought came to mind which brought a mischievous smile on his face.

Naruto on the other hand wasn’t feeling particularly upbeat after having to duck yet another tree branch. He swore Akamaru was trying to throw him off on purpose but was determined not to give the dog the satisfaction. He was about to complain to Kiba about how badly trained he thought the nin-dog was but stopped when he noticed the ever growing grin on the brunet.

“What’s wrong with you and what the hell do you find so funny?” asked Naruto a little irritated by the way Kiba was staring at him. Kiba chuckled and said something about irony. Naruto didn’t get it and asked the brunet to explain while politely demanding Kiba to stop staring ‘cause it was starting to creep him out.

Kiba looked away and his smile faltered a little but it was still present. “Oi Naruto, do you remember the last thing you said to me before you passed out?”

The whiskered teen took a minute to reflect on it and when he did he sighed hard for the umpteenth time that day. He messed his hair up in annoyance as he clearly remembered his precise words. ‘I don’t need you to finish the mission and I won’t let you slow me down’

Now it turns out that Naruto was the one slowing them down and that he needed help from Kiba. “Karma you bitch” he muttered to himself but was loud enough for Kiba to hear.

“Oh relax” He said while putting a hand on the blonde’s shoulder only to be shrugged off again. “Just accept that you were wrong so we can kiss and make up” said the brunet jockingly… but was he?

A stubborn Naruto glared in return. “Sorry to burst your bubble but I wasn’t wrong at the time.” Kiba opened his mouth for a comeback but Naruto beat him to it. “BUT, and this is a very big but, I will say thanks for not being an ass about it and leave me for dead.”

Although the blond wasn’t saying much, and he really wasn’t in all honesty he just said it to shut Kiba up, for the brunet it spoke volumes. ‘Finally making progress with Naruto’ he thought.

The idea of it made Kiba’s grin even wider than before as he couldn’t suppress his emotions so he let them out. “Yahoo!” he exclaimed while dashing down to the village. Akamaru, confusing this for a race, gave a happy bark and ran after his master completely forgetting Naruto was still on his back almost making the blond fall off once again by the unexpected turn of events.

“Damn it Kiba!” yelled Naruto hardening his grip on the beast. ‘Are all Inuzukas this crazy and random or is it just you??’

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

“…and that’s all that happened.” Finished Naruto recounting the events of the mission to Tsunade leaving out what happened after they secured the chest. Of course she was suspicious since his worn out attire told a different story but with Kiba consenting to everything Naruto said, she was in no position to question it.

“And where’s the item?” she asked instead. At this Kiba stepped forward and placed the chest a little too hard on the desk causing it to open. Glancing at the contents inside, Kiba began backtracking looking completely flushed. “What the hell is this?”

Kiba’s reaction made Naruto curious so he stood up on his tippy toes to get a better glimpse at the item and immediately scowled and become agitated by what he saw. “What gives? You send us elite shinobi to collect your lingerie?”

“Shut up twerp! If you must know the man I send you after was a debt collector who thought he could get rich off selling mementos from the Hokages and obviously took things a little too far when I refused by stealing my personals.” ‘And besides’ she thought ‘if anyone is going to get their money’s worth of this get rich quick scheme it’s going to be me. Heehee, I could almost taste the sake.’

By the smirk on her face both chunnins could pretty much tell where her train of thought was leading to. While Naruto scoffed at the prospect, Kiba saw this as an opportunity to pay her back with the same coin for what she did to them that morning.

“Strange, I don’t know anyone who would buy that scam.” He said eying the bra. “I, as I’m sure everyone else in Konoha, thought you were always naked under that robe.” He finished shamelessly.

Of course that got an angry response from the Hokage. “OUT!!” And both Naruto and Kiba ran for their lives after ducking a chair before Tsunade could land a hit on them.
