Chapter 10: Who is it?
Naruto and Kiba stood hand in hand on top of a hill. The two shinobi were standing under the pale shadow of the moon, overlooking the entire village of Konoha. Naruto gazed into the brunette's kind eyes and found nothing but love for the dog-nin. Kiba held onto his soft hands firmly, passion heating the moment. As they gazed into each other's eyes, their faces drew nearer and nearer. Naruto could feel the brunette's sweet, warm breath against his cold skin. In a matter of seconds, their lips had made contact and Naruto found himself in a beautiful, tender kiss. Kiba drew Naruto closer to his body while slipping his tongue into the blonde's succulent mouth. Their tongues caressed each other as the heat of the moment drove them into a fury of romance. Pleasure fuelled their bodies as the ninja's were locked in an epic battle of passion. And then, as quickly as it had begun, it was all over. The shinobi parted their lips and gasped deeply for breath, as they brought their bodies into a close embrace. Naruto felt as if his life were complete; all he wanted to do was be with Kiba.
Naruto held his brunette tightly before allowing his voice to be heard. "Kiba?"
The dog-nin playfully stroked the blonde's hair. "Yeah Naruto?"
"I-I love you Kiba." Naruto confessed, as they slowly pulled apart.
Kiba's eyes were filled with joy. "Naruto, th-there's something I need to tell you?"
"Yes Kiba?" He asked dreamingly, staring deeply into his lover's eyes.
The brunette smiled wildly. "I'm a werewolf."
"Oh that's so – Wait what!?" Naruto shrieked.
Kiba backed away from the blonde and immersed himself under the light of the full moon. His body began to shake and crack, as it quickly began to expand. Naruto watched as Kiba's clothes were ripped from his expanding girth. Dark hair rapidly spread all over his skin and soon the blonde was staring at a fully grown werewolf. Slowly, the creature edged its way towards the shinobi, flaring 10 sharp claws in the process. Panic spread throughout Naruto's entire body as the monster placed its paw on his shoulder.
"LOVE ME NARUTO! LOVE ME LIKE NO TOMORROW!"
"Hey, wake up you slacker! What do you think I'm running here, a hotel!?"
The blonde was hurled out of his nightmare and thrust back into reality. He awoke on a couch in the living room where Tsume was rigorously shaking him out of his slumber. Naruto opened his eyes, gasping for breath as he overcame the realisation of his dream. He scanned the area. Thank goodness no werewolves. All he found was an angered Tsume, wearing a fiery red apron that read: "Ninja Momma Wants Blood!"
"How could you take a nap at a time like this!? Our guests will be here in less than half an hour and you haven't even cleaned up yet!" She screamed, waving a ladle in midair.
Ever since Kiba left on his mission, Naruto found Tsume treating him more and more like a member of the family. He enjoyed getting some love and attention from the wild mother, but he dreaded the moments where her anger would flair up. This was one of those moments.
"Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night." He replied, trying to hide the nightmare he had just had.
Tsume looked at him sceptically. "Well, you better hurry up and get changed. I'll handle the cooking and cleaning, but you've gotta hurry." As the last of her words escaped her mouth, something exploded in the kitchen. Tsume turned frantically in the direction of the noise, anger in her eyes once again. "Damnit! That was my ice-cream!"
The mom ran off to continue her cooking, while Naruto was left momentarily bewildered. How do you manage to blow up ice-cream!?, he thought. However, time was of the essence, so Naruto swiftly dashed through the house, towards the upstairs bathroom. Before entering, the blonde came up with a brilliant idea to help the mom. He placed his hands in front of his chest and formed a seal.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" He shouted and was instantly surrounded by a dozen helpers. "Ok you guys, you're all in charge of cleaning up while I get ready for the party. So let's do it!"
The clones cheered in unison, spreading throughout the house and cleaning away. Naruto was left with a satisfied grin as he went into the bathroom. The ninja stripped off his orange tracksuit (and purple briefs :P) before turning on the shower's tap. He stood under the warm streams of water, finally getting some time to think about his nightmare.
What does it all mean? He thought solemnly. Why would I dream about Kiba becoming a monster? That's just weird, but what if it's an omen? Maybe something bad happened to Kiba and the others? They may need my help! Naruto lowered his head at the thoughts. I shouldn't even be thinking like this. I placed my trust in Kiba and I guess I'm gonna have to rely on that. You can do it Kiba, wherever you are...
The burly sunset began to descend upon the area. Clouds completely blocked off the magnificent colours that should have befallen the sky. Kiba and Yamato had been moving non-stop for the past 24 hours, tracing a scent that the dogs had finally discovered. The dog-nin's expression was tense as the animals led him towards his sister's whereabouts. He and the Captain hadn't spoken the entire journey. They had to keep themselves hidden, unbeknownst to their enemies. That was their mission.
She's gotta be here, she just has to be... Kiba thought, repeating the phrase multiple times. We're so close to her, I can feel it! Just a little further, then I'm sure we'll find her. The brunette looked at Akamaru who was still right by his side. At least I have you to keep me company buddy, unlike that captain over there. Kiba peered around only to see a thick mass of branches hurling towards him.
"Look out Kiba!" Tenzou shouted, as his forested arm quickly grabbed the shinobi and his dog, before dropping them onto a nearby tree. The three other dogs landed next to them. Kiba pulled away from the mass of roots and screamed at the captain.
"What was that-"
"Shh!" The captain placed a finger over Kiba's mouth, pointing to the direction they were travelling in. The dog-nin followed his gaze and spotted a ninja camp. Tents were pitched up, explosive tags were in place and a mass of ninja were gathered in the centre of the clearing. Kiba could just faintly make out an Ame marking on one of the ninja's forehead protectors. His pulse began to race. These are the people that took Hana!
The ninja clenched his fist, but Yamato urged the young man to remain quiet. The men edged slightly closer along the branch of the tree, so that they were now in hearing distance of the enemy. Kiba watched as a middle aged man started shouting orders towards his subordinates.
"You there, start packing up! We don't want any other ninja finding us now, do we!? And you three, extinguish the fire immediately! We can't leave any trace behind!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. "And go ruff up our hostages a little bit; they've been acting up way too much! Especially that girl from Konoha! You might as well just kill that fucking bitch now and get it over with!
"How dare you say that about my sister!" Kiba screamed, losing control of himself, as he leaped down from the tree and knocked three ninja to the ground. "I'll fucking kill you!"
"For a boy, you clean up pretty well Naruto." Tsume complimented, eyeing the blonde up and down. The usually orange clad ninja was dressed in a smart pair of black pants, with a white shirt and tie to match.
Naruto gushed. "Thanks Tsume, it was really nice of you to lend me some of Kiba's clothes. They were both standing in the living room as they waited for Kakashi to finish getting ready.
"Kiba never wears them, so I'm just glad that someone can put them to good use." The mom replied, brushing her hand through her still messy hair. Tsume, herself, was also dressed to perfection. The mom wore a slimming purple kimono, decorated by sakura blossoms which made her look twenty years younger.
No wonder Kakashi's dating her, Naruto thought, maybe a bit too pervertly. What's taking him anyways? I know he's always late for everything, but this is just ridiculous!
"You mind if I go check what's taking Kakashi?" Naruto finally asked, folding his arms impatiently.
Tsume smiled. Guess he wants this night to go perfectly."Sure. That man needs to learn some time management anyways. Go right ahead Naruto."
"Thanks." The blonde walked down the hallway and stopped in front of Tsume's room. Naruto opened the door and let himself in. "Kaka-" His words were cut short. The door to Tsume's bathroom was left wide open and Naruto found himself staring at his naked sensei's muscular ass. The man stood in front of a mirror, humming the words to a strange song, while Naruto was given a free show of the man's amazing body. Naruto gazed at the jonin's tight calves, built shoulder blades and of course, his glorious ASS-ets. The blonde couldn't believe what was happening.
"Oh yeah, Kakashi you sly dog." The jonin smiled and winked while talking to his reflection. "Now how does that song go again? Oh yeah. Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella. You can stand under my umbrella – ella –ella..." He sang, while dancing terribly to his off key tune. Naruto almost began to laugh, but was too amazed by the tightening and expanding of Kakashi's magnificent thighs. The blonde felt himself drooling, before feeling another part of his body begin to ache.
Damnit, he thought. Ok, just close the door Naruto. Just close the door! "Hit me baby one more time!" That was it. Naruto slammed the door behind him, trying to forget that teasing slap sound. He calmed himself down, as he made his way back to the living room; his face red from embarrassment.
"Is he almost done Naruto?" Tsume asked innocently.
Naruto shook his tomato-like head. "I think he's still gonna be a while."
Tsume frowned. "Hm, that man..." She sighed, interrupted by the ring of the doorbell. The chime surprised both members of the room, but each of them was glad that their guests had finally started arriving.
Naruto quickly rushed to open the door. Standing outside was none other than Sakura and Sai; the blonde's own teammates. Sakura was dressed in a traditional red and black kimono, while the ravenette wore a black suit.
"Hey guys! Nice to see that you could make it!" Naruto greeted in delight with a broad grin across his lips.
Sakura smiled at the blonde. "You invited us silly, of course we would show up."
"Yes Naruto, it's right here in my book." Sai pulled out a small book from the back of his pants pocket. "If you are invited somewhere, one should always be polite and attend." He smiled innocently.
Naruto glared at the ninja with offense in his eyes. "So you didn't want to come then!?"
Sai realised the situation he had just put himself in. "N-N-No, it's just that I was too polite not to...not come?" Naruto didn't even know what that meant.
"Baka!" Sakura shouted and punched Sai over the head, causing him to faint in the process. The pink haired girl blushed at her own strength. "Um, may we come in Naruto?"
Naruto smiled at his long time friend. "Sure, my bad for not offering sooner." The two ninja dragged Sai into the house and closed the door behind them. Inside, Naruto dumped Sai onto the couch and watched as Tsume introduced herself to Sakura.
"Hello there, you probably don't know me, but I'm Kiba's mom. You can call me Tsume." The mom chided innocently.
"Nice to meet you." Sakura bowed. "I'm Naruto's teammate and Kakashi's student, Sakura Haruno."
Tsume smiled at the girl. "You're Lady Tsunade's apprentice right?"
"Yip. I've been studying under her for 3 years now." Sakura replied.
"You must be quite the prodigy." Tsume added. "Kakashi must be really proud of you. Speaking of which – KASHI! GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE AND GREET YOUR GRACIOUS STUDENT!" Tsume yelled at the top of her lungs.
Guess she really is Kiba's mom... Sakura thought, as Kakashi appeared seconds later in a pair of dark navy pants with a white shirt and matching tie. (Still wearing his mask of course) The top buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned and his tie hung loosely around his neck. The man quickly recomposed himself and greeted everyone in the room.
"Sorry I'm late everyone." He apologised.
"NO YOU'RE NOT!" Everyone screamed back, already knowing Kakashi's habits.
The man smiled awkwardly. "I'm sure my lovely MeMe has entertained you thoroughly though." He put an arm around Tsume while she rested her head on his shoulder. "Besides, I couldn't find a dry towel in the bathroom, so it took me a little longer to get changed."
Naruto was once again reminded of THAT scene. His mind became full of vulgar thoughts, but luckily the doorbell gave him an escape. "I'll get it!" He shouted and dashed out of the room to open the door.
Next to arrive was Shikamaru and Temari. The lazy ninja wore a simple white shirt and black pants, while his long time girlfriend wore a blue kimono from her village. "Great to see you guys!" Naruto cheered as he went to greet Shikamaru and Temari.
"You have no idea how much convincing it took to get him here." Temari replied as she bowed towards Naruto.
Shikamaru sighed. "I just agreed to come cause all your nagging was getting too troublesome." He replied flatly, shaking Naruto's outstretched hand.
Temari lightly punched her boyfriend in the arm and looked at Naruto. "He never changes..." She sighed.
Naruto smiled at the bickering couple. "You're right about that Temari."
The two shinobi laughed at Shikamaru's expense. The lazy ninja began blushing out of embarrassment. "Hey Naruto, is anyone else here yet?"
The blonde stopped laughing and smiled back at his friends, as he led them into the home. "Yeah, Sakura and Sai are already here, but Sai's lying unconscious on the couch."
"Why's Sai unconscious?" Shikamaru asked confusedly.
"Why else? He's Sai." Naruto responded seriously.
The three of them entered the living room and were greeted by warm welcomes. Once again Tsume introduced herself to the ninja, while Kakashi and Sakura happily exchanged words with the couple. Only two guests were still outstanding, Iruka and his mystery date?
"Kakashi?" Naruto asked inquisitively.
"Yes Naruto?" All heads turned towards the blonde.
"Do you know who Iruka might be bringing with tonight?" He asked, trying not to picture his sensei's earlier "Exhibition".
The jonin thought hard at the question. "Sorry Naruto can't say I do." He responded.
Damnit! The blonde thought. I have to know who it is! "Can't you think of anyone Kakashi-sensei?"
Sakura quickly thrust herself into the conversation. "Well, if I had to guess, I think he'd bring Shizune."
Shikamaru looked at the pink haired girl strangely. "Why would Iruka bring Shizune?"
Sakura looked offended. "Shizune is one of the nicest women in all of Konoha! Iruka would be the luckiest man alive if she came with him."
"But Iruka never talks to Shizune..." Shikamaru pointed out.
"He even speaks more with Tsunade than what he speaks with her." Temari agreed, latching onto her man's arm.
"WHAT! Iruka's coming with Tsunade-bachan!" Naruto screamed in confusion.
Tsume tried to calm him down. "No, no Naruto. Tsunade's much too old to be dating Iruka." She reassured.
"He does talk to her a lot though..." Kakashi pondered aloud.
Everyone in the room became buried in their thoughts, wondering just who their 6th guest was? They didn't have to think long though, as a final knock sounded from the front door. Like a herd of elephants, everyone stampeded towards the door, desperately wanting to uncover the truth. 5 hands grabbed the door knob, almost ripping the entrance off its hinges. The shinobi couldn't believe their eyes when they discovered who it was.
"I take my words back Naruto." Tsume said wide eyed. "Maybe she isn't too old for him."
"Hi everyone!" Tsunade screamed wildly!
What an ending hey? :)
We have some intense stuff going on by Kiba, while Naruto is just partying away. Wonder what's gonna happen? :) To summarise: Naruto had a bad omen about Kiba. Kiba found the Ame-nin. Tsume is a terrible cook. Kakashi is a crazy exhibionist who enjoys American Pop Music. And Iruka has shown up with...Tsunade?
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter :) Please lemme know in your reviews ;)
