Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto…but I wish I did lol.

Angel of Sincerity: I hope you all enjoy this new story of mine. I’ve always loved Kiba and I believe he’s misunderstood but I think he’d go rather nicely with Sakura so here’s my first ever Kiba x Sakura Fic

You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven.”

“Stop fidgeting! Let me finish dressing that wound,” Sakura snapped as she glared at her patient, Inuzuka Kiba.

“You don’t even know what you’re doing, do you?” he muttered as his eyes narrowed and he snatched his arm away once more. “Besides I didn’t even ask for your help!” he retorted as he winced from the pain.

Noticing this Sakura smirked and started to pack up her medic-nin supplies “No, but I was the only medic in the hospital who was available because of your little prank on the Konoha,” She started as she sighed. “But I guess you can wait…Hmm about 4 hours or so until all the fatal injuries are dealt with by one of my medic-nin. Then maybe one of them can dress your wound on your arm, since you’re so concerned about my abilities,” she finished coldly as she turned back to face him for a moment before leaving the room, “Oh and it’ll probably be infected by then too,” She added sweetly.

Kiba’s eyes widened. “Wait! Come back!” he yelled as he jumped to his feet.

Her jade eyes flicked back to meet the worried Jonin’s face. “Now we have that settled you better do as I say and stay still this time,” she replied with a smirk knowing that he would’ve never agreed without her tricking him into it, as there really was no chance of infection and there was plenty of other medics who could’ve dressed his wound if he wished.

‘CHA! One point for me!’ Inner Sakura exclaimed as she smiled wildly, ‘Let’s see Dog-man outsmart me now!’

Slouching he walked back over to the bed he sat on moments earlier, as he grumbled something about ‘stupid Shikamaru and his great ideas.’

Seeing the discontent in his troubled eyes Sakura looked away and started to unpack her supplies once more. “Why did you do that nasty prank Kiba? A lot of people got hurt you know, and as a Jonin you should be more responsible than to pull pranks like that, and you’re also heir to your clan so that makes what you did even worse. I mean even Naruto isn’t going to be happy with you, and not just because he’s the Hokag-”

“Do you think I don’t get that?” He snapped, cutting her sentence short as he turned to look over his shoulder at her. “Besides I wouldn’t be heir to the clan if my sister hadn’t decided to retire at the god forsaken age of 24! They didn’t even choose me I was just next in line. They don’t even know my abilities as a Shinobi!” he continued as his eyes shook dangerously.

Sakura looked at him questioningly. “Well no one knows when you constantly go around pulling stupid little pranks with Shikamaru on the Konoha all the time. You’re acting as childish as Naruto used to!” she snapped back.

“Hn” he grumbled as he dropped his gaze, suddenly finding the pristine white tiles of the hospital floor far more interesting than the topic at hand.

Sakura failed to suppress a saddened sigh as she started to stitch up the deep wound in his left arm, “Kiba…”

“Hn?” he grumbled once more, his eyes not meeting her own as he listened intently.

Dropping her head Sakura sighed and tied a knot in the thread she was using. “I’m…s-sorry for snapping at you,” she replied hesitantly as she bandaged his arm.

A surprised look crossed Kiba’s features as he looked back at her. The Sakura he knew wasn’t one to apologise for stating to truth, she said it like it is and even he knew she was right. Well, most of the time anyway.

“I never realised you hated your new role as heir to the Inuzuka clan so much…” she trailed as she packed up her supplies and looked up at him.

Kiba’s face trembled as creases formed across his forehead. “How could anyone actually like it? The training I have to go though is hell in itself,” he growled. “There are a lot of things you don’t know about me, and there are a lot of things I don’t know about you. So how about we leave it like that…” he added as he jumped off the bed.

The room fell silent as Sakura watched him start to leave. “Wolves,” she muttered.

His eyebrows rose as he turned to face her once more. “Excuse me?” he asked daringly thinking that she was insulting his clan.

“I love dogs and have a fascination with wolves,” she stated calmly, not raising her voice in the slightest. “You said you knew nothing about me. Now that isn’t true,” she finished as she picked up her medic-nin supplies and walked through the door right past him.

Blinking Kiba stood there for a moment. ‘Sakura likes wolves? As in wild dogs? How can Sakura like wolves!’ he wondered. ‘I always thought of her as a cute and cuddly animal lover. Wow, she has good taste in animals,’ he noted mentally as he spun around as he watched her walking up the hallway, “Nuts!” he yelled.

Sakura stopped in her tracks as a soft smile broke out onto her face a she turned to face him.

“I’m allergic to Nuts,” he continued as she cocked her head to the right and nodded slightly as she turned around and walked off. Kiba grinned as he folded his arms behind his neck, ‘hmm I still can’t believe she’s a dog person, and likes wolves!’ he thought as he walked out of the hospital to be greeted by Shikamaru who’s arm was in a sling and Akamaru, who launched himself at Kiba knocking him over due to his size and sheer strength.

Shikamaru smirked, “I bet that hurt.”

Quickly getting to his feet Kiba gave Shikamaru a shove, “Yeah no thanks to you and your brilliant ideas!”

“Excuse me you’re the one who actually did most of it. You could’ve chickened out you know,” was the quick response as Shikamaru’s eyebrows furrowed.

Kiba opened his mouth to reply but then shut it as an uncontrollable smirk spread across his lips as Ino stormed over to them. “Seems like your wife has found out,” he said with amusement evident in his voice.

Shikamaru’s eyes widened as the hairs on the back of his neck stood on their ends, slowly turning his gaze to the road he noticed Ino storming over towards them, he knew instantly he was in for an earful, ‘How troublesome.’
