“I think I smell someone!”
“Kiba-kun! Onegai (please), slow down!”
Hyuga Hinata ran after her teammate, Inuzaka Kiba and his dog, Akamaru.
Aburame Shino, who completed the three man team, followed both of them. He sent several fleas he summoned to temporarily manifest themselves on Kiba and Akamaru, who stopped in their tracks and started scratching like mad.
Kiba howled in agony and yelled at Shino.
“What did you do that for?!”
“You two were going too fast.”
“You-”
Kiba looked like he was about to attack Shino. Hinata ran up to him and held him back.
“Kiba-kun! We're on a mission. You shouldn't attack Shino-kun.”
The scent of lilacs and jasmine slowly wafted into Kiba's sensitive nose. He closed his eyes in contentment and stopped struggling against Hinata's gentle grip.
Wh-what's that amazing smell…? It's laced with the coppery, metallic scent of blood. It's that girl we were tracking!
Kiba ripped himself away from Hinata's hold and took off towards the smell. His team and dogmate (Akamaru) followed him.
The four reached a grassy clearing. Inside it were two people battling. One was an onyx-haired and onyx-eyed boy. The other was a girl with long raven hair and wearing priestess robes. Currently, the boy was on the top of the girl with a kunai to her neck and the girl's sword was pointed at the boy's heart.
Kiba stepped forward.
“Are you Higurashi Kagome?”
She answered without taking her eyes away from the boy she was fighting.
“What does it matter to you?”
Kiba stepped closer to the two fighters.
“Like it or not, you're our mission.”
He turned his gaze to the boy the girl was fighting and his eyes widened.
“Uchiha Sasuke! Aren't you supposed to be training with your team? What are you doing here?”
“None of your business Inuzaka. Now if you don't mind, Kagome and I were in the middle of a fight.”
Kagome shot a smirk at Sasuke from her position.
“And I was winning.”
Sasuke pressed his kunai closer to Kagome's neck and narrowed his eyes. He brought his face close to hers. Kagome could feel his hot breath on her face.
“You don't mind if we continue this later, do you?”
Kiba felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
What did that…Uchiha think he was doing?!
“Of course not Sasuke.”
Both of them sheathed their weapons. Sasuke stood up first. He put out a hand to help Kagome up. She willingly took it and stood up with Sasuke's help.
“Arigato Sasuke.”
“No problem Kagome-chan.”
Who does that Uchiha think she is…
“Oy! We're still here you know?!”
Kagome turned to look at the yelling Kiba for the first time. A thought fleetingly raced through her mind.
Inuyasha…
Tears prickled her eyes, and she quickly averted her face from Kiba and the rest of Team 8.
Why does this boy remind me so much of Inuyasha? Is he his reincarnation in this era?
Ignoring everyone and everything around him, Akamaru ran up to Kagome, yapping all the while. He whined at Kagome and pawed at her leg, beckoning her to pick him up. Kagome eyes softened at the cute look on Akamaru's face. Gently scratching his head, she bent down to pick him up and cradled him in her arms.
“Where did you come from?”
Akamaru yapped at Kiba from the cradle of Kagome's arms.
Kagome turned to face Kiba again.
So he's his dog. I never knew “Inuyasha” would adopt a puppy.
“Who are you?”
Sasuke smoothly cut in, all the while glaring at Team 8 for interrupting his training with Kagome.
“He is Inuzaka Kiba, who's obsessed with dogs. IF you see a white dog with him that yaps annoyingly, it's name is Akamaru. The girl next to him is Hyuga Hinata, the heiress to the Hyuga clan. The last one with the sunglasses is Aburame Shino, the bug user.”
Kagome gave each of them a warm yet guarded smile.
“It's nice to meet you all. Kiba, I was wondering why you seem so attached to dogs.”
Surprise shown on Kiba's face as he answered Kagome.
“My whole family, the Inuzakas, have always been attacked to dogs. They're a huge part of our family and we use them in battle. Our smell and our other senses are highly attuned, much like those of dogs.”
“That still doesn't explain why you have fangs.”
Kiba gave Kagome a dashing grin which showed off his fangs.
“It makes me look good doesn't it?”
Sasuke turned away in disgust, but not before chucking a kunai at Kiba.
“Shut your mouth.”
Kiba narrowly dodged the kunai hurtling towards him and shot a dirty look at Sasuke.
“What did you do that for?!”
“You don't ever talk that way to Kagome. Your arrogance is going to be the ruin of you one day. But you're a dog, so it's understandable.”
Hinata gasped.
“S-Sasuke-kun…I don't think you should have.”
Kiba growled angrily at Sasuke and bared his fangs at him.
“Uchiha! Let's settle this, once and for all!”
He lunged at Sasuke but was blocked by Kagome running in front of his and splaying her arms out.
“Kiba! If you fights Sasuke now, he'll kill you. I've been training with him and he's gotten stronger.”
“I don't care. That bastard deserves what's coming to him.
Kiba attempted to punch Sasuke.
There's only one thing to do. I hope this works.
Kagome grabbed Kiba's face in her soft hands and kissed him, scratching gently behind his ears. He immediately deflated and wrapped his arms around her waist possessively.
After several minutes of kissing, they finally pulled away from each other. Kiba rested his chin against Kagome's sweaty forehead.
“What was that for?”
“I really wanted to do that. Plus it was the only way to stop you from attacking Sasuke.”
Kib adopted a hurt look on his face.
“Kagome, that hurts.”
She giggled and scratched him behind his ears again. Akamaru nudged Kagome's leg, wanting a scratch too. Warningly, Kiba growled at Akamaru. The dog back off, whining, and jumped into Hinata's arms.
Kagome took her hand away from Kiba's head and frowned at him.
“Kiba! What did you do that for?!”
“He wanted to get close to you while it was my tur!”
“KIBA!”
He turned away and pouted childishly. His lower lips stuck out as he closed his eyes.
“Feh.”
That one word brought Kagome tumbling down from heaven to hell.
He's so much like Inuyasha…I bet he's already in love with someone.
Kagome turned away from Kiba, ready to run. Luckily, Kiba smelled hear tears and caught her by her wrist. Struggling, Kagome tried to pull her wrist from Kiba's firm grip. But as strong as Kagome was, Kiba was stronger, having the strength of a well-trained ninja, as well as that of a canine. His senses were finely tuned and his reflexes had been well-honed.
Kiba growled and pulled Kagome towards him none too gently, She ended up with her hands splayed flat across his chest. One of Kiba's arms was on Kagome's back while the other anchored her to him. His nose was buried into her soft hair.
“Kami, you smell amazing Kagome.”
She tensed in his arms. The feeling of comfort soon overwhelmed everything and she gave in. Kiba felt her relaxing and a gentle growl erupt from his chest. Kagome felt the vibrations and sighed in contentment.
“Kiba…”
Her stomach growled loudly and she blushed.
Sasuke rushed over to Kagome. He kicked Kiba off of Kagome and held her close to his chest.
“You haven't eaten at all today! You should have been more responsible Kagome! What kind of ninja are you?”
Kagome lowered her head so it rested gently on Sasuke's chest.
“G-gomen (S-sorry) Sasuke-kun.”
Sasuke sighed and picked Kagome up bridal-style. He passed Team 8 without another glance at them.
“C'mon, let's get you something to eat.”
Kiba growled at Sasuke's retreating back.
How dare he…how dare he ignore me and take Kagome?!
“Sh-Shino-kun? K-Kiba-kun? Should we go get some lunch too?”
“Hai Hinata-chan.”
Shino jammed his hands deeper into his pockets and walked off.
“Sh-Shino-kun! Wait! Kiba-kun, are you coming?”
Kiba glared off into the direction Sasuke and Kagome went and nodded to Hinata.
“Hai.”
Sasuke took Kagome to a tailor shop, amidst Kagome's confused looks.
The owner looked up as soon as he heard the chime on the door ring.
“Ah, Sasuke-san. What may I do for you today?”
Sasuke pushed a completely baffled Kagome in front of the tailor. He walked up to the tailor and whispered into his ear.
“Take her measurements and make her the most beautiful gown ever.
The tailor nodded. A million questions were running through his head, but it was not his place to ask questions.
“Hai Sasuke-san. When would you like it by?”
“Seven o'clock today.”
“Sasuke-san, that's not a lot of time.”
“But you can do it, can't you?”
The tailor nodded his head.
“Hai, Sasuke-san. Any particular color or style?”
“Whatever would fit best with her.”
“Hai.”
“Arigato Toshiko-san. And just so you're wondering, she will not be going out with me.”
Toshiko-san, the tailor, quickly took Kagome's measurements then nodded at Sasuke.
“She's ready to go.”
“Sasuke, what was that all about?”
Sasuke gently pushed Kagome out of the door and onto the street. He picked her up again and raced off towards her house.
“I will be delivering something to your house at seven thirty sharp and then we're going out. Be ready.”
“Matte (wait) Sasuke-kun! Where are we going?”
“We're going to Le Café de L'Amour. Be dressed accordingly.”
He leaped away from her house to find Team 8.
That's the most expensive restaurant in Konoha! Why would he want to take me there? Unless it's a date…no. Sasuke-kun doesn't like me that way. But why else?
Sasuke quickly found Team 8 eating at the Ichiraku Ramen shop. Hyuga Hinata was situated in between her two teammates and blushing at the loud and boisterous Uzumaki Naruto. Inuzaka Kiba was shoveling food into his mouth while Aburame Shino looked on. Rock Lee was staring dreamily at a freaked out Haruno Sakura.
“Yo.”
Everyone looked up to see Sasuke. All of their reactions were different.
“My other rival! You seem more youthful today!”
“S-Sasuke-kun! Have you come to see me?”
“Are you here for ramen?! Ramen ramen ramen ramen!!!”
“UCHIHA!”
“O-Ohayo Sasuke-kun…it's nice meeting you again.”
“Hmph.”
“Ohayo minna (everyone). Hinata-san, Shino-san, may I talk to you for a minute? In private?”
“H-Hai.”
The two followed Sasuke out of the stasll and onto the roof of the adjacent building.
“Am I the only one who's noticed, but does Kiba like Kagome?”
Hinata and Shino nodded together.
“I told Kagome I'd get her at seven thirty to go to L'Amour. I never told her I'd be going with her. Do you get my drift?”
Shino inclined his head in understanding and jumped off the roof.
I'm hungry…
Hinata bowed to Sasuke and left also.
Shino grabbed Kiba's upper arm.
“Kiba, do you have anything suitable to wear? Hinata and I were planning to go to L'Amour today with you.”
“What?! Again?!”
“Do you or do you not?”
“Yeah yeah Shino…just remember I picked up the bill last time.”
Kiba went back to his ramen.
Kami, what is up with him today?! His bugs not listening to him or something? And that hurt…
He unconsciously bent down to rub Akamaru's head.
Ding-dong!
“Coming!”
Kagome ran and opened the door to find Sasuke with a long bag in his hands.
“Sasuke! You're an hour early.”
“Here, you need to get ready.”
He gave her the bag and walked inside to situate himself on his favorite couch.
Kagome rolled her eyes and walked past Sasuke to lightly punch him on the shoulder. She walked into her room. After locking the door, Kagome took the dress out of the bag. Her breath caught in her throat.
The dress was exquisite. It was a spaghetti-strap sparking ivory-white dress. The straps were lined with diamonds and the dress hugged her figure perfectly, or it would if she was zipped up.
She heard a knock on the door and opened it to peek out.
“Sasuke! Why did you get me this dress? It seems so expensive!”
“Kagome, we're going out to L'Amour remember? And I wanted to do something nice for you. You've been helping me train so much these past days.”
“Oh. Thank you so much! Umm…can you…zip me up?”
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and went to zip Kagome zipper up.
“How's that?”
“That's perfect. Thank you so much Sasuke.”
She wrapped her arms around Sasuke and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
He smiled at her and took a black box from his pocket. Oening it, he showed it to Kagome.
“Here. This was my mother's, and I want to give it to you.”
The pendant was a pink zirconia framed by tiny black diamonds on the sides. The chain was thin and elegant, just right for a woman.
“Mother wanted to give this to her daughter, but since she has none, here you go. I've come to think of you as my imouto (sister). Will you accept this necklace, Kagome-chan?”
“Yes Sasuke, yes!”
She put the pendant on her desk and looked at it appreciatively.
“I'm glad. Come on, we're going to be late.”
Sasuke picked Kagome up bridal style for the third time that day and ran to Le Café de L'Amour.
He popped his head inside and saw a lonely Kiba looking uncomfortable in his suit.
Serves him right.
“Kagome, the reason I took you here was for you to go on a date with Inuzaka Kiba. As much as I hate him, it seems like you and him like each other. All I want is your happiness imouto.”
“Sasuke…arigato gozaimasu aniki (thank you so much brother)!!!”
He held her and kissed her forehead.
“Now go in there and get him Kagome-chan.”
Kagome nodded and picked up her dress. She walked gracefully into Café de L'Amour.
“Kiba-kun!”
Kiba stopped fidgeting in his suit and turned around to see an angel.
“K-Kagome…what are you doing here?”
“Sasuke set us up. So what do you say? Do you want to hang out tonight?”
Stupid Shino…stupid Hinata…lying to me. But here's my chance to get close with Kagome.
“Okay. I've been waiting for this chance.”
Kagome giggled and wrapped her arms around Kiba's neck.
“But you only met me today.”
“Exactly.”
Kiba put a hand behind her back and pulled her towards him. He brutally slashed his lips across hers.
“You're mine.”
After dinner and a glass of wine each, Kiba stood up. He helped Kagome up.
“So, is Uchiha picking up the tab?”
The waiter came up behind Kiba and tapped his shoulder.
“Inuzaka-san, that party over there said you would pick up their tabs and your own.”
“What party?!”
The waiter gestured to a table with a smirking Sasuke, a blushing Hinata, and an indifferent Shino.
“UCHIHA!”
Kagome hugged him from behind.
“Kiba-kun! I'll make Sasuke pay for it, don't worry.”
Kiba gave an exasperated sigh and took out his wallet.
“No, I'll take it. What kind of man would I be if I didn't treat my lady to dinner?”
He turned to the waiter with a credit card in-between his fingers.
Kagome smirked and wrapped her legs around Kiba's waist.
“Don't ignore me! PIGGYBACK!”
He just rolled his eyes at Kagome's antics. After giving Sasuke a glare, he left Le Café de Amour and took Kagome to his house.
“You didn't bring Akamaru with you? He's a really cute dog.”
“'Le Café de L'Amour' doesn't allow pets. What a stupid name for a restaurant.”
“Kiba! It means `the Café of Love” in French.”
“Ew. You mean…they served snails?!”
“If you mean escargot, yes.”
Kiba stuck his tongue out of his mouth in disgust.
“That's disgusting.”
“Keep an open mind. Otherwise, you'll never learn anything new.”
Kiba shook his head earnestly. He pushed her up against a shop wall and buried his head in between her neck.
“I don't care about learning new things. I have you Kagome. You can teach me those things. Kami you smell so good.”
“K-Kiba…when I first met you, you reminded me of my old love, Inuyasha. Now I can see you two are different.”
“Oh? How so?”
“You both are brash and act without thinking…”
Kagome held up a hand to silence any of Kiba's protests.
“But you're more loving and loveable. You care more about your friends than he does and you don't dwell in the past. I love you Kiba. You're the man any sane woman would want.”
Kiba's eyes and his lips smiled at Kagome.
“Then we both must be insane then. I love you and you love me.”
“K-Kiba…”
She kissed him on the forehead as he tenderly let her down.
“Why don't we spend the rest of our night stargazing?”
“I'd love to. Could you go on ahead? I need to…do something…”
Kiba smiled softly at Kagome.
“Call me when you're ready”
“Arigato Kiba.”
As soon as Kiba was out of sight, Kagome looked up to the top of the building. She smiled gently at a figure barely in sight.
“Sasuke-kun, I know you're here.”
Sasuke jumped down and landed next to Kagome.
“It see it was a success.”
Squealing, Kagome threw her arms around Sasuke's neck and showered his face with kisses.
“Yes yes yes it did! You're the greatest big brother ever!”
“Go meet Kiba now Kagome. This is your night with him. Don't waste any of it.”
“Oh Sasuke…”
She smiled at him and ran to where Kiba was waiting for her.
“Kiba!”
Kiba smiled at Kagome, swinging her around happily.
“You ready to go?”
“Hai Kiba! Where are we going to stargaze?”
“We might bother Nara Shikamaru, but this is our night. He'll have his privacy some other day.”
Kagome giggled at traced a slim finger down one of Kiba's stripes (on his face).
“I love you Kiba.”
“I love you too Kagome. Wh-why do you smell like Uchiha?”
“I had to talk to Sasuke. I had to thank him because he played matchmaker with us. He was the one who got us together.”
“Seems like I owe Uchiha one now.”
“We paid for the bill remember? I think you're even now. Look! A shooting star! Make a wish Kiba!”
She closed her eyes quickly and wished. A few minutes later, Kagome opened her eyes.
“What did you wish for?”
“If I told you, it wouldn't come true.”
“Hmph. Fine, be like that.”
Kiba ruffled her hair and swung her in his arms again.
“You know you love me.”
“I do Kiba.”
She leaned in to kiss his lips gently. He put his hand on the back of her head and gently licked her bottom lip. Kiba gently coaxed her to open her mouth.
“Will you two stop it?”
Nara Shikamaru lay reclining against the tree, looking at them.
“You're ruining the night for me.”
“This is our night. You can have a lot of other nights to yourself.”
He glared at them but stared up at the sky again.
Kagome and Kiba laughed it off and smiled at the sky, just enjoying each other's company. Both were thinking the same thing.
Arigato, Uchiha Sasuke.
