Cat and Dog

Prologue

-

He was in senior class, and she was one year below him. They knew each other's name, seen the other around but they never talked.

She doesn't really care and neither does he.

He's not related to her, her life doesn't revolve around him so there was no connection what so ever between them or even their clans.

Except that they would never see eye to eye. She had never talked or discussed or argued anything with him to prove this point. It's just a known fact.

She and he were like oil and water. They can't mix together to make one solution.

If they were put together, they would be like two bombs in a can.

They don't have to become friends to figure out this, it was in their nature after all.

Like cats and dogs.

She's the cat and he's the dog.

She has a gray cat named Yue, and he has a white dog called Akamaru.

She's Maneki Tsubasa, and he's Inuzuka Kiba.

They're two worlds different.

But they were yin and yang.

They were fated to be together, no matter how different they were.

How did they got together, they couldn't really recall. The details were sketchy and somehow painful.

But it all started in the Academy. He was one of the troublemakers in his class, and she was the quiet one in hers.

They had never spoken a word to the other, they would just keep walking if they see the other pass by, pretending he or she wasn't there. She was fine with it and so was he.

It's not like he had a grudge against her and neither did she, but it was just how things were. Their clans had never worked together, they weren't fighting or anything, it's just…happened that way.

The Third Hokage did not do anything about it, not that he didn't care, but he knew it was for the best, best for himself, best for the two clans and best for their village.

Everyone knew about the Inuzuka and the Maneki clans. They didn't try to do anything about it; it's just in their nature.

So when one time the two of them had collide into each other, everyone knew it only meant trouble.

"Ittai" she said when she fell to the ground after the collision. He fell too, rubbing his sore behind. "Oi, watch where you're going," he said, without looking up.

Her ears shot up. "Excuse me? You're the one who ran into me,"

"Whatt?" he stared at her, "no I did not,"

She was quiet, yes, but that doesn't mean she's shy. Inside, she was a boiling volcano, waiting to erupt.

"Yes you did,"

"No I did not"

"You did"

"Did not"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"DID TOO!"

"DID NOT!"

"YES YOU DID!"

"NO I DID NOT!"

Dear God, they were only 6 and 5 years old back then.

They were standing in front of each other now, nose against nose. Her cheeks were flushed, his ears were red.

It was during lunch time when they had begun their first argument. Everyone had stopped eating to see what the commotion was all about. They surrounded the two boiling kids, who were sending each other death glares.

"Dog breath" she smirked.

"Stinky cat," he added.

"Alright alright, stop it both of you," the Academy teacher, Iruka came to the rescue after a concern student told him about the fight.

"He started it," she said, crossing her arms.

"Only after she begun it," he replied back.

"Shut up you"

"You shut up"

"Okay, okay, back to class everybody," Iruka clapped and shooed the children away. Then he turned to face them. "Kiba, you will follow me,"

"Hn," was his reply.

"And Tsubasa, she's waiting for you," Iruka pointed towards the female teacher standing a few feet away, hands on her hips.

"Honestly Kiba, I thought only Naruto makes problem, not you too," Iruka said as he walked with the Inuzuka boy.

"What has gotten into you, I've never seen you like this," was what Tsubasa had received on her other end.

They had never spoken since then. She last saw him in the Academy when he came to his genin's explanatory meeting and was assigned to a team. After that, she was left in the Academy for her final year.

A year afterwards she had become a genin too and was assigned into her own three-man group with two boys in her class; Kenji Tahara and Sho Kitai under a female jounin, Fumie Omura.

Then her life as a genin had begun. She had done her best in her missions and her training. She had mastered her family's jutsu, Cat's Claws and was working her way up to more jutsus with her beloved cat, Yue.

Tsubasa and Kiba had seen and passed each other during their genin time but they didn't care. He was just and outsider to her and vice versa. But apparently, her sensei and his sensei were friends and they were beginning to see the other more often.

But no words were spoken. It was just between their teachers. She would wave and said hello to his teammate, Hinata and that was all. He would grin and say hey to her teammates and that was the limit. After that he would talk to his team or play with his dog and she would do the same.

But during their little indirect meeting, he would study her quietly and so would she.

He still looked the same with his gray hooded jacket and his short. She had never seen him with his hood down and wondered how his real hair was like. He had the Inuzuka look; tanned, dog-slit eyes, two red triangle marks down his cheeks and fangs teeth.

And when Kiba played with Akamaru, he would steal glances towards her. Her black hair was always in a bun with chopsticks in them. And just like him, she had the Maneki look; pale skin, golden pair of eyes and a red cat's claws tattoo on her left arm.

She wore a white, short-sleeve zipped up body suit that reached her knee. From what he notices, her clothes were the clingy type and if only she had fully grown in the right places, he wondered how she would look in it.

And every time he came up with that thought, he would shake it away, disgusted that he would think that way about her and continued playing with his beloved dog.

He was thirteen then and she was twelve.

Their worlds were perfect without the other. Their clans could live without the help of the other and so can they.

The cold war between the two clans was still going on, neither anyone from their clans nor anybody outside of their clans tried to get the two clans together.

They had learned that putting the two clans together would be like putting two bombs in the same can, and for Konoha's safety they wouldn't want that to happen.

They had learned that oil doesn't mix with water.

They had learned that cats don't mix with dogs.

But all hell broke loose when the Fifth Hokage took place. She decided that the time for the cold war to end had come. She decided that it was time that cats and dogs live together in harmony.

That they were yin and yang.

Two opposites.

And putting two opposites together would make one good thing.

They would be perfect.

That was what the Hokage thought. She knew she can make it happen. She knew she can change the fate of the Inuzuka Clan and the Maneki Clan and put them together.

And she had decided to start it with Kiba and Tsubasa.

And they had never seen it coming until it hit them…

What do you think? Review!

'Just to let you know...'Maneki' comes from the words "Maneki Neko" which means Beckoning lucky cat. You know the cat figurine with one paw raised toits head, use to attract people into a store? Yeah that one. I didn't want to name the clan 'Maneki', because it only means Beckoning lucky, it doesn't even have the word 'neko' and the meaning 'cat' in it.But it doesn't sound nice if I changed it to 'Maneko' (and I don't even know what that means) . And my sister and I went through a terrible time looking around for Japanese name with 'Neko' in them..So finally we gave up and just decided to name it Maneki. At least it's the closest thing cat-related.

Okay that's all, you can review now!
