The Beast and the Dog

Part I - Best Things Are Ruff
Chapter Four: “Guess He Wants To Play”


Kiba moaned as the hot water hit his body and soothed his aching muscles, happy to be home at the moment. He’d seen TenTen and she had offered to see him that night, but he hadn’t been able to take her up on the offer, his mind was filled with images of a certain redhead he’d had to leave in Suna. Man that guy smelt fuckin’ fantastic, and now that he’d stolen a kiss Kiba knew he tasted and felt fuckin’ great too. He groaned, it wasn’t really fair and he wasn’t sure how it had gone so wrong so quickly. He’d resisted doing what his baser instincts told him to when concerning that man for ten years, and in one damn night he’d blown it all out of the water.

Kiba sank lower in the water until just his nose and up were peeking out of it pouting, something he never ever did. He heard the door open and close and then his sister came into view. Before she could remove her towel he closed his eyes, he did not want to see any of that.

“Little brother, you look like you’ve seen better days.” Hana commented as she sunk into the hot springs.

It was good and bad that their family had there own hot springs, good because you never had to wait or pay to get in, bad because other family members could come in, both sexes, and bathe together. When he was younger it hadn’t fazed him, well except when old people came in, but now it bothered him that his older sister was naked in the water with him. His mother had no shame either, as there she was walking into the room.

“What’s wrong Kiba, you’re smell is off.” His mother commented as she stepped into the water.

He carefully kept his eyes averted, “maybe because my mother and sister are in the fuckin’ water with me.”

“Oh stop being such a prude.” His sister shot back splashing water onto his head.

“It’s not a big deal, we’re all family and the Inuzuka clan. Our bodies are beautiful and there is no reason why we should be ashamed of them.” His mother added finally seated.

“Unless of coarse you have a small dick.”

Kiba growled, “fuck you Hana.”

Truth be told he still didn’t care when other women came into the baths, didn’t matter that they were cousins either. He wasn’t attracted to them by any means they were just naked bodies, but when his sister saw him when he’d stood up… well it had not been a fun day. To top it off his mother had howled with laughter. Bitches, both of them.

“So Kiba, what’s with your sour mood.” His mother asked again.

He sighed, “I am attracted to someone.”

His sister snorted, “yeah all the time Kiba you’re a horn dog.”

He shot Hana a glare, “TenTen offered me a night on the town and well, I told her no.”

Most people would find it odd that he was sharing such info with his mother and sister. They would be highly embarrassed if they were to share the same kind of info with their own, but his family was once again very different. Sex, food, and the human physic were just apart of life and was always welcome in his family.

“You turned her down? I thought you liked to have fun with her.”

He shrugged, “well yeah I do, but I couldn’t go through with it because of this other person I totally want.”

“Just fuck the person then.”

“I would, but one he doesn’t want it, and two I don’t think it would solve anything it would only make it worse.”

“Wait, wait, did I just hear that my brother wants another man?” She paused and Kiba nodded then she busted into hardy laughter, “My brother’s a poof!”

Unlike her usual self his mother shoved Hana into the water instead of joining her in riotous laughter. She was very seriously looking at Kiba and it was making him uncomfortable.

“It’s a man that you want.”

Kiba nodded, not really sure he liked where this was going. Was his mother against gays? He’d never really thought about it, as sex was sex at least he’d thought so.

“Does he have lots of power?”

“Well yeah, loads of it.”

“His sent, tell me about it.”

Now that made him uncomfortable, scents were very sacred to the Inuzuka clan, just as the wild out doors. To speak of such things was identical to other families discussing the birds and the bees. Kiba looked away, really was his mother going to ask such a question? About that time Hana came up for air, and glared at their mother only to see the seriousness of the moment.

“Mom you can’t really mean for me to tell you.” He whined, something he hadn’t done for years.

“I want to know what he smells like to you.”

“Mom! Are you serious?” Hana exclaimed her cheeks going red.

“Completely, now Kiba?”

Kiba felt himself start to squirm under her gaze and he carefully kept his averted. Biting the inside of his cheek, he felt his cheeks go red at the thought of the other man and the way he smelt. Even the thought of it made him tingle.

“He gives off two different distinct smells.” He started.

A nod and now his sister was riveted, as if she were reading, hearing, or watching something erotic, and for the dog clan it very much so was.

“He gives off this smell of,” he swallowed hard he couldn’t believe he was being made to do this. “Power, the kind that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Rage, there’s a lot of that too and it makes your gut twist up, and then there’s the fact that it always smells like a fresh kill. You know warm blood where the scent of fear still cloys at your nostrils.”

Hana groaned, and then bit her lip suddenly looking ashamed, a feeling he’d never thought his sister could feel. Served her right, getting off on his scent that he’d found.

“Continue you said there was two distinct smells.” His mother said, so calm it was aggravating.

How could she just sit there and be so calm about such a thing? Unbelievable, he whined again and she gave him one of her best stern looks. Kiba’s face turned into a pout, this was so humiliating.

He swallowed the lump in his throat, “er, the other scent is well… sweeter with a zing.”

“Kiba, don’t half ass your description.” his mother scolded.

“It’s like earthy, dark. Chocolate ya know, but without all that extra shit they add to it. Coco bean, fresh from the plant all natural and strong. Yet there’s this other more tangy cent that comes with it,” he paused feeling his cheeks redden more. “It’s so not something you’d think he would smell like, cuz of where he fuckin’ lives, but its just him.”

“Kiba…” his mother warned as he started to get off track.

“Sorry,” he mumbled before continuing. “Tangy, almost juicy really, like when you bite into an orange, and the taste of it wafts up to your nose from your mouth, prickling it a little. Yet it’s sweet to and quenches your thirst a bit. Smooth but with a bite, which really describes who he is rather well.”

“Holy shit…” his sister breathed.

“Yeah and that’s not including the smell of dry earth that’s just apart of that region or the smell of sweat if he’s been working out.”

His sister whimpered, he could tell that she wished it were her that had discovered it. To bad bitch, he thought to himself.

“He’s from Suna I take it.”

Kiba looked down at his hands in the water, “yeah…”

“I’ve gotten a whiff of that man a few times at meetings and such. He certainly does smell good. Not my kind of smell really, but apparently it’s yours.” His mother commented.

“Who are we talking about?” Hana asked looking between the two.

“The Kazekage,” his mother smirked.

Hana’s eyes practically popped out of her head.

“He’s quite dangerous, he could have single handedly brought down the village,” his mother mentioned while looking at her nails.

“Yeah.”

“The lone Uchiha doesn’t even mess with him you know,” Hana added.

Kiba nodded.

His mother, seemed amused but then her features softened, “I remember my first true scent.”

“Who was that mom?” Hana asked.

“Kiba’s father.”

They blinked at each other, his father was dead now but when he’d been around they had always been at each other’s throats. Arguing, fighting…other things that Kiba didn’t want to think about.

“I thought you hated dad.”

“What the hell ever gave you that idea?” his mother asked sounding affronted.

“Well mom you two were always fighting.”

A smirk crossed over her features, “yeah, I know.”

“Fuckin’ hell mom did you have to tell us that?” Kiba gagged.

“You asked for it. Anyway your father was it for me. I couldn’t have anyone else in my bed. Even today I can’t bring my self to be with anyone else. Once you stop fighting it, which I’m sure you’ve been doing, and you get a real taste for it then it’s all over son.”

“Wow, lil bro is going monogamous before me.”

In his family it wasn’t unreasonable for the pack leader, a woman, to have several men. Usually three and for whatever reason it was excepted and calmly executed. His mother had had four, and then one died which was when his father had stepped up and taken the reigns. Mother had gone from several men to just one, and nobody had really ever explained it to him or his sister. He hadn’t been around when there was more than his father, and had for quite a while believed that monogamy was what his clan did. Which wasn’t the case in the least, when he hit puberty his mother had taken him aside and had told him almost everything. Hana was next in line to rule over the Inuzuka clan, it sometimes paid to be a man in this family. Less responsibility, which was fuckin’ great.

It was rare for an Inuzuka to be monogamous, and Hana had always thought she would be the one. She loved her sex but she never went back a second time. She had said something about the scent being off, which had lead her to believe she would become a one man woman. Kiba had simply loved having sex, and had several women who enjoyed his company so he’d kept them all as lovers. They all knew of course that would have been wrong not to tell them, and now he couldn’t have anyone else.

“You’ve kissed him haven’t you.” His mother said.

He nodded even thought he didn’t need to.

“Then you won’t be able to have anyone else.”

“That’s not even right, he doesn’t want me.”

“Are you sure?”

Kiba thought about it, Gaara had never said he didn’t want him, just that he didn’t want to be another notch on the belt and that he wasn’t the safest to have a homosexual encounter with. Then there was that moment where the other man had told him he smelt good, not in those words but it meant the same thing. Looking back on it now, it seemed as though the redhead was purposely playing with him.

He frowned, “no I’m not anymore. He leaned in and smelt me…”

His mother’s and sister’s eyebrows rose up in surprise.

“He can smell too. The demon does it for him or something.”

“You found someone who can understand your gift then. Even better.”

“I guess.”

“He might have the same problem as you.”

“He told me that he wasn’t about to be another notch.”

“It’s settled then.” His mother announced.

“What is?”

“He’s just playing games with you hun. Sounds to me you’ve got yourself a bitch with a bite.”

Did his mother just call Gaara a….

“Yes Kiba a bitch, as in the one who gets fucked. Keep in mind though he could still very easily control the situation, which it sounds like he is, but I think he wants you to challenge him. He always struck me as that kind of man.”

Wow…

“You should go talk to Naruto, they’re close and have similar problems.”

Kiba nodded, that was a good idea but then he’d have to explain why. He groaned.

“Either get over it or be without sex the rest of your life.”

The prospect of no more fucking made it clear to him what needed to be done. The following day he was going to talk to Naruto.
