DISCLAIMER: Obviously I don't own Naruto, or any of its characters. The plot of this story however, is my own.

As you know, this was my first story. While I do have the sequel in the works after many of you demanded it, I decided I couldn't leave this story be as it was. The writing was childish and poorly done, therefore I'm redoing it.

This is a Prologue I created. I took the first two chapters, ripped them apart, and created a prologue and a new chapter one. I will slowly begin updating the chapters when I have a chance. Hope you enjoy.

Prologue

It was a warm sunny afternoon in the village hidden in the leaves, where Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha`s number one knucklehead ninja, sat in a large leafy tree. He watched the sun shimmer on the surface of the clear lake a short distance away.

For the first time in two and a half years, the blond was relaxing and enjoying himself after his time away training, though he couldn't help but feel a little out of sorts at being so idle for so long.

He perked up at the sound of two familiar voices approaching below, and glanced down at the path winding through the trees directly beneath him. As the voices drew closer, he could easily distinguish the chatter to be two of his good friends and comrades, Inuzuka Kiba, and Nara Shikamaru. The last news Naruto had heard was that both shinobi were on a mission to Suna, but it seemed they were back early.

The two friends were walking along peaceably, chatting away, unaware of the spy hidden above them.

Suddenly, Kiba's ninken, Akamaru, veered in front of his master startling the ninja and causing the young chunin to trip, stumbling into his friend. Completely oblivious to the awkward situation he had just caused, the canine continued his merry chase, his jaws snapping playfully at a poor, helpless butterfly.

Shikamaru was the unlucky one to land on his back, his breath forced from his lungs as he hit the hard dirt road.

Flailing wildly, Kiba tried desperately to steady himself, but unfortunately was unable to prevent the inevitable as he fell on the Nara. His attempts were not completely in vain, as he managed to prevent any injury as he fell on the younger boy.

The shadow nin found himself in an awkward position, sprawled flat on his back, legs slightly apart, and palms flat on the ground. He stared wide eyes at the Inuzuka straddling his slender hips, their groins pressed uncomfortably against each other.

One of the dog nin's hands was resting beside the raven's head, propping his body up slightly on an elbow. The other tanned hand was on Shikamaru's chest, wedged between the two warm bodies.

With their noses almost touching, they gazed into each other eyes, their own shock reflected back. Both teens could feel the warm breath of the other caress their face as they continued to stare in embarrassment, cheeks slightly flushed.

"Ah, heh," Kiba smirked, finally breaking the awkward silence that had settle over them. "You don't want a date first, eh, Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru scowled up at his friend. "Just get off me," he muttered, shoving at the hard chest.

Kiba shifted, intent on following the others' request, but that came to a grinding halt as they both gasped and froze. A sudden shiver of pleasure ran through their bodies as quickly rising erections came into contact, the hardened lengths grinding together.

Licking his dry lips, the dog nin stared hungrily down at his captive. The shock wore off rather quickly as the feral teen took a deep breath through his highly sensitive nose. Much to his surprise, he could smell the arousal on his friend as he lowered his head to Shikamaru's pale throat and inhaled deeply. The sweet musk was rolling off his body in waves and the Inuzuka found it intoxicating.

Shikamaru's eyes widened in horror as the elder boy leaned forward and smelled him. He could tell by the glazed over look in his friends eyes, that the animal in the Inuzuka was taking over. He struggled to push the boy off, but Kiba pressed harder against him, causing the both of them to groan again. Dark eyes rolled back as the Nara tried to process what was going on and formulate a plan of action.

Kiba's head came down again, his tongue running down the struggling teens jaw, tasting the salty skin of the Nara. He moaned in Shikamaru's ear, the action sending shivers down the lazy nin's spine. The Inuzuka could taste his partners need and want, and while Kiba had been with his fair share of bed partners, he had never found one he truly wanted, or one that wanted him just as bad. As instincts clouded his mind, the brunette pushed forward, intent on not letting this opportunity pass him by.

Shikamaru flailed, but the tracker didn't budge. "Shit! Kiba, snap out of it!" the normally laidback nin cried desperately. He couldn't believe he was in this situation, Kiba wasn't in his right mind anymore, and the Nara had to find a way to free himself before something happened that they would both regret. It was an extremely awkward position to be in, especially with a very close friend. With every ounce of strength he had, he shoved his friend away from his body and screamed. "Get the hell off of me you stupid troublesome mutt! What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

Kiba snapped out of his daze, slowly blinking as awareness crept into his mind. He saw the terror in his friend's chocolate brown eyes, and realized what had been about to happen. He rolled off Shikamaru, his face reddening. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean... I couldn't... I-I-I..." he stuttered as he lay in the dirt, struggling to understand the feelings and the meaning behind what had just taken place.

"You stupid dog! What the hell were you doing?" The Nara was just as red as the dog nin, and could still feel his erection straining against the rough material of his pants. With a quick glance over at the panting Kiba, he could clearly see the large bulge of his friends pants proving his theory that the other boy was just as bad off as him.

"It's not my fault!" Kiba growled. "You should have pushed me off sooner!" He sat up and turned away from the teen still lying on the forest path.

"How!" the raven snapped. "You were pinning me down!"

"I couldn't help it; I could smell that you were aroused!" the Inuzuka yelled turning back and pointing an accusing finger at the lazy nin. "You wanted me!" What truly scared the teen though, was that he wanted the Nara just as much.

"I did not, so just stay away from me!"

"Gladly!" Kiba leapt to his feet, and stalked off, leaving Shikamaru to sort through his own muddled thoughts and feelings. "Get back here Akamaru," the brunette called angrily into the surrounding woods. "We're leaving, now!"

Naruto scratched his head as he watched his two friends stalking off in opposite directions. Out of everything he had ever witnessed, that was definitely one of the stranger occurrences.

Well? How was that? Better? I think so. I took it out of the first chapter, and turned it into the prologue instead of being a flashback.

Please review and let me know if have succeeded in making this better.
