Kiba: It's so ordinary that peple put disclaimers like: "i dont own naruto."

Me: well, we have to put it in, right? so dont complain, kibs.

Kiba: why are you calling me that?

Me: my friend suggested it. so readers, please enjoy the story and ignore Kiba.

Kiba: heyyy!

"Please, pretty please? Just a day! Come on, have you ever been separated from Akamaru?" I asked Kiba, who would never let anyone 'borrow' his most beloved nin-dog.

"Never in 100 years. Oh, we'll be dead by then. So in other words, NO. And the only time I was separated from him was in battle. I panicked, and I don't want to go through that feeling again."

Akamaru yipped. Kiba frowned.

"So you want to stay with her? All day long? With Kaitlyn?"

Another yip. "Fine. Just one day. And if I find that there's anything wrong with Akamaru, I am seriously going to kill you."

"OK! Roger that! Leader-sempai." I smirked. He is kinda the leader of squad 8. But he still doesn't like me calling him that.

"One more thing: DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

I was already far away when he said, or rather yelled, that.

Flashback

I hate travelling. After all this time, I can't seriously think that I'll be accepted for who I am. Some dying clan making me the heiress was bad enough. Giving me a tiger (a rare white tiger, that is) is worse. Dragging my two loyal friends into this mess was another bad idea. Oh, and this particular clan was being hunted. The worst fact. Why? I have no idea why.

At least the tiger was a cub and couldn't oh, eat me? I did have a dream the night before all this happened. Some fuzzy, blur person could be seen in the distance. A voice, probably the person's, said: "We have chosen you to be our last member of our clan. Accept this. And beware: an enemy awaits you. Find one of the Inuzuka clan member. He/she can help. We have always, always, been loyal to each other. So that's when I ran from village to village till I found the Inuzuka clan member who was obviously Kiba and his family. And my friends were still there for me, though.

Of course, I hadn't always been in Squad 8. I had to go through the Academy, which I completed the course in just 3 months. My friends completed it in 4 months. They always said I was the slow one. But they finished it way later than me. When we graduated, we had a choice: form a new 3 man squad or join another existing one and make that squad a 4 man squad. We chose the latter. We decided that once we became skilled shinobi, we would then kinda 'quit' that squad and come together as one.

End of flashback.

I asked Kiba to lend me Akamaru for a day cause Vrin was pestering me to. She was like, "Omigosh, Akamaru is soooooooo cute!", "Please, please ask him for Akamaru" and of course, the threats. "I'm going to kill you if you don't manage to get Akamaru from Kiba."

Yes, it's typical of my friends to threaten to 'kill' me. I suppose it is kinda irritating but I just take it all calmly. I couldn't wait to surprise Vrin with Akamaru coming home with us for a day.

The next day, during training, Vrin appeared out of the blue.

"What gives? Training's not over, as you can see, so please run off to your Squad 7," Kiba said to Vrin.

"I want Akamaru."

"NO! NEVER IN MY SHORT LIFE!"

"How do you know that you'll live for a short while?" Shino enquired.

Kiba, still shouting, replied," I DON'T CARE AND IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

"K-Kiba, p-please stop shouting," Hinata pleaded.

"Yes, I agree. It's scaring all the birds away. So, please stop shouting," I said.

"I'M NOT SHOUTING! WHO SAID I WAS?"

"Just because you have the hypersentitive senses doen't mean we don't have any sense. Obviously, you are shouting because your voice is louder than usual," Shino continued. "Besides, Hinata asked you to stop and Kaitlyn agreed. I know you like them. A lot."

"Now, wait just a sec. Who said I liked them?"

"I'm hurt! You don't even like me as a friend?" Now I was just trying to annoy him.

"NO! Only as a friend. Shino, cut it shout. I mean, out."

Vrin snickered. "So, after all those nonsense of 'please don't shout' and then you accidentally say shout instead of out."

Just then Kurenai-sensei came to investigate what the noise was all about. "I see you have enough time to talk. Now, TRAIN."

"Ok, sensei." I said.

"No prob. As long as she-" Kiba pointed to Vrin," goes away. I simply have no peace while training while she's here."

Kurenai looked at Vrin. "How's your training going around with Naruto? I know he is troublesome."

"Nah, he's ok, except when it comes to missions. Can you belive that? Unbelieveable! He can get excited for even D-rank missions! Seriously, he is... extremely optimistic!"

We already started training when Vrin was saying... 'Nah...' because we were getting bored of hearing the conversation. We decided to do the chakra control exercise. Which was to... climb a tree. Yes, i know, Squad 7's style of training is rubbing off on us.

"Last one to the top is a rotten egg! But, if you are last Kaitlyn, I Wont lend you Akamaru!"

That got me really worked up.

Shino started counting "1,2,3..."

"Well, that does it! I'm going to be the first, I'm telling you, you just wait!" it's been a long time since I got angry like that.

In the end, i managed to get second, because I lost to Hinata. She can really control her chakra. Well, too bad for him, but Kiba got the 4th place.

So in the end (again) Kiba had to 'surrender' Akamaru to us (me and Vrin).

"Thank you and we will return him to you as good as new!"

"Yeah right..."

And we knew we were going to have so much fun...
