Naruto woke up in lower spirits than ever and it showed. Yesterday was an emotional rollercoaster for the blond and it wore him down. Thoughts of Kiba ran through his head all night long. His devious smile that showed all his pointy sharp teeth, the way those red clan tattoos fitted his face so well, those predatory slit eyes that always shone with excitement.
Naruto had always wondered about those feral looking eyes. He thought that maybe it was a clan trait but Kiba’s sister had perfectly round eyes so that couldn’t be it. Besides those two he never met any other Inuzuka so Naruto couldn’t make any further conclusions.
He then thought about the way Kiba could so easily insult yet compliment someone at the same time. How the brunet pulled that off Naruto may never know but it was interesting to watch. He reminisced on the many times Kiba would snake an arm around his shoulders and was surprised to realize that Kiba has been doing it not just recently but ever since they were younger too.
It seemed that Kiba was always subconsciously looking for camaraderie in the blond. Naruto wondered how he never noticed before but guessed it was because he was always so focused on Sasuke and Sakura to care.
It’s a real shame though. Their personalities were so similar when they were younger that they could have totally hit it off. Yet none of that really mattered now. Kiba was gone for good and Naruto got to remain being the tool of war that he was.
Throughout the night Naruto managed to convince himself that things happened like fate had already written it down. He resigned that he was meant to be unhappy and there was nothing he could do about it.
It was better this way anyways. It saved him from the harder inevitable heartbreak that was surely bound to happen if he pursued a relationship with Kiba. Nothing that was good ever lasted. It was a sad truth but a reality nonetheless.
He met up with Sakura and Sai at the Hokage’s Office that morning. Team Kakashi, minus the jounin-sensei the team was actually named after, made their way to the front gate in awkward silence with Naruto taking the lead. Kakashi would show up two hours late like he usually did for minor missions.
Sakura and Sai kept exchanging glances at each other while they studied Naruto. Each one was urging the other to say something to the blond but to no avail. It was obvious from the moment they met up with Naruto that the blue eyed teen was walking around with a rain cloud over his head and they wanted to help. Yet all their efforts always proved to be futile and they just didn’t know what to do. Sai knew he should have rented more books.
Halfway to their destination they slowed down when they spotted someone they knew stomping the ground as she made her way to them.
Naruto watched as Ino came charging straight to him with a vengeance. He stopped walking as he waited in wonder for Ino to get within talking distance. What he didn’t expect was for her to bitch-slap him across the face as soon as she got at arms length from him. The sound of it seemed to echo throughout the village.
The jinchuriki rubbed the sore point of his face with one hand as he glared accusingly at the female before him.
Sakura, visibly thrown off by her rival’s actions started to scold the ponytailed kunoichi. “What gives Ino-Pig?! You can’t go around assaulting people like that!”
But Ino didn’t even spare the pink haired kunoichi a second glance. She was very pissed at Naruto right now so she tuned the other out in favor of giving Naruto a piece of her mind.
“How could you do something like that to Kiba?! Why did you play around with his feelings just to throw him out like yesterday’s trash? Was that just some sort of twisted game for you?! How dare you! Did you have your fun??? Answer me damn it!”
Yet Ino didn’t give Naruto a chance to do so as she continued her rant. “I can’t believe I convinced Kiba to ‘fess up for this! Do you know just how much he’d been going through just to be with you? He might be expelled from his clan! The clan means everything to him damn it! Arrrg why are you such a baka?!”
Naruto never fared well with having people scream to his face and this was no exception. So he did what was only natural and started to shout back.
“What I do or don’t do is not your freaking business! And why the heck do you care so much what happens between me and Kiba?!”
“Because I already wrote the toast I was going to give at your wedding that’s why!!!” Ino shot back.
That wasn’t at all what she meant to say but it proved effective in shutting the jinchuriki up. Not only was he now staring at her with wide eyes and his mouth open, Sakura was gapping at her too. Sai on the other had looked confused but entertained with the new development. Ino took it as her cue to keep speaking her mind out.
As Ino continued her rant Naruto little by little started to realize how stupid and self-centered he’d been acting. Through her words Naruto began to comprehend that he wasn’t only hurting himself with his withdrawal but he was also hurting the others. He never thought about the amount of pain he must have been putting Kiba through.
Now Naruto felt sick to his stomach. He couldn’t believe he ever considered giving up on something as precious as having a special someone. ‘Haku would be so disappointed in me. What the heck have I been thinking? I’m no tool. I’m freaking Naruto Uzumaki darn it and I make my own path!’
Naruto briefly wondered how he could have ever forgotten about that. He sure must have been stuck in depression for a real long time to let things get this far out of hand. ‘I got to make things right’
It was then that he glanced back at Ino who was still rambling none-stop. Sometimes all you ever need is an outsider’s point of view to see things clearly. For Naruto Ino proved to be just the outsider he needed.
So without further contemplation Ino was cut off mid-rant when Naruto suddenly pulled the shocked girl into a bone-crushing hug thanking her before speeding off to Kiba’s house.
Ino blushed at Naruto’s retreating back. She didn’t expect to get that kind of reaction out of him but it would be a lie if she said she didn’t enjoyed the physical contact. ‘Kiba you lucky dog’
A clearly perplexed Sakura tired of being left out of the big picture demanded to get some answers unknowingly asking the title question. “What the hell was that all about?!”
Ino gave her rival a sly smirk silently debating if she should spill or not. She finally decided to respond with a vague answer.
“That my good friend with the big forehead is what I like to call a happy ending in the making.” Then she turned to Sai and winked at him. ‘And now is time for me to get mine as well’
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Naruto ran across the village as fast as he could bumping into all sort of people sending quick apologies to all of them but not slowing down for any of them. Nothing mattered more than talking to Kiba. He still remembered where the brunet lived from when they were 13 and he hoped Kiba hadn’t moved out yet.
When he finally reached the Inuzuka Compound he stopped running suddenly feeling very nervous. ‘What am I going to say? Scratch that; will he even hear me out after what I did to him?’
Naruto dismissed the doubt in his mind by putting a strong determined front and marching up to Kiba’s doorstep. ‘He must hear me out cuz I ain’t going nowhere until he does!’
However before he could reach the front door he was sidestepped by a growling Akamaru who blocked the entrance with his huge body.
“Grrrr Arf Arf!”
Naruto backpedaled a few steps before a scowl covered his expression. Moving forward again he crunched down a little so their eyes could lock in a stare down.
“Look here you mangy mutt. I know full well that you can’t stand me but that’s okay ‘cause I don’t like you either. But I hurt someone we both care about and if you don’t let me in I won’t be able to make things right so step aside!”
Kiba’s dog growled unrelenting at Naruto’s face until he surprised the blond by licking his face. As Naruto remained temporarily dumbstruck, Akamaru stepped to the side opening the way for Naruto to do as he pleased. All the dog needed was for the blond to admit he cared for his master.
Akamaru doesn’t ask for much, he just wants what any dog wants and that’s for their owners to be safe and secured. Until now he didn’t feel Naruto could provide but now it was like he was looking at an entirely different person. One he had no problems accepting.
Shaking himself out of the daze, Naruto went ahead and entered the building nodding gratefully at Akamaru’s way. “Thanks pal!”
The dog only yawned in response sitting down in a napping position. Once inside the house it didn’t take long for Naruto to be confronted.
“Well well, I see you got passed Akamaru. Gotta handed to ya, I didn’t think you would be able to pull it off.”
Nauto’s eyes darted to the staircase where Kiba was making his way down with a look of indifference on his face. Once the brunet finished coming down the stairs he crossed his arms and turned to face the blond.
“What are you doing here anyways? I smelled you approaching a mile away. It looked like you were in a hurry.”
“K-Kiba! I, I came to apologize” said Naruto taking one step forward.
The Inuzuka only raised an eyebrow. “Oh, how so?”
“Listen, I know I shouldn’t have done what I did to you and I wish I could take back what I said.”
“That makes two of us.” stated Kiba harshly making Naruto wince. Staring to look amused by the situation the brunet advanced on the blond until he was standing right in front of him.
Naruto looked down at his feet feeling a lot less confident in what he was doing. “Ouch, I guess I deserved that. I know you probably hate me and everything but-” Naruto was silenced when Kiba placed one finger under his chin and brought up his face for a quick peck on the lips. “Kiba?”
“I could never hate you Naruto. I love you way too much for that.” said the brunet with a smile. “You came back for me didn’t you?”
“I- well- um you know. I did it just because.” Naruto shrugged feeling strangely hot all of the sudden after Kiba’s kiss.
“Because you wanted me too, right?” Naruto blushed at Kiba’s question and nodded making the Inuzuka grin even wider. “Good to know.”
With no further hesitation Kiba kissed Naruto full on the lips without any restrains. His hands held Naruto’s waist to bring their bodies closer. Naruto couldn’t resist but to wrap his arms around Kiba’s neck to deepen the kiss and return it with equal fervor.
It was then that Akamaru walked in the room. A big doggy grin plastered all over his face at the sight he saw. His master finally found someone he could spend the rest of his life with and Akamaru was glad for it. His smile faltered a little when Kiba pushed Naruto to the couch and they started to straddle each other. It completely dropped when their hands started to wonder and he completely left the building when Naruto moaned into the kiss. Akamaru definitely didn’t need to stay around for this. |
