Etched in Stone: The Shinobi Chronicles

Disclaimer: Me no own. Simple as that.

Warning: Shounen-ai, yaoi, vulgar language (it's Kiba and Naruto so, obviously).

Author's Babble: We're back! Or at least I am (Sin). Anyway, this is the first challenge fic we've finished and hopefully not the last. I want to appologize for not only the lateness of this chapter (this collection is so overdue for an update), but also the slight "jumpy" quality of the writing. This was originally a roleplay Scorn and I did via aim. I cleaned it up as best as I possibly could, but there may be some slight bumps in the flow of the entire story. Sorry about that. Anyway, please review and throw us some more challenges.

Enjoy!

Challenger: Suiton
Howl
Kiba & Naruto

"That's it for today, Akamaru” Kiba said panting, his posture doubled over from exhaustion.

The eighteen-year-old stood in the middle of the village training ground, his canine companion standing opposite him in a similar state of fatigue. His legs suddenly buckled beneath his weight and he flopped onto his back. Training, that was all there was for the young ninja to do right now. Hinata and Shino were off on some sort of recognisance mission –Kiba wasn’t privy to the details, which was standard protocol- leaving him behind due to injuries that, at the time, had him hospitalize.

"I think we got everything covered for the day, eh pal?" Kiba said to the large white beast that was seated to his right. "How about we go find dinner?"

Akamaru barked and wagged his tail energetically in agreement.

Kiba stood, brushing the dirt absently off of his trousers before starting down the path that led from the Leaf training grounds to downtown Konoha, Akamaru in step with his partner. They were both too exerted from training to move any faster than a leisurely stroll so the walk back into the village was a long one. Raising his arms the Inuzuka rested them on the back of his neck, interlocking his fingers to secure the position. It was his favourite part of the day, Kiba noticed as his gaze flicked upwards. Late enough for families to gather in their homes for the night, but the sun had yet to set.

"So, what'd ya think?" Kiba asked, turning to his furry companion. "Ramen sound good to you? It does to me." Akamaru barked, which Kiba took as a sign of consent. He chuckled. "Right! Ichiraku's it is then."

Upon entering the popular shop the brunet wasn't surprised to see familiar faces; the best ramen in town was served here and everyone knew it. Kiba greeted those he knew with a nod of his head and took a seat at the counter beside a familiar orange clad male.

"Here again, eh Naruto?" he said grinning. "Or have you not left since we passed by this morning" he smirked ordering two pork ramen for himself and Akamaru who sat on the ground beside him, the canine’s large size allowing him to peer over the counter. Pets were not normally allowed, especially ones as big as Akamaru had become, but the owner made an exception for Kiba. They had been coming here for years; not nearly as long as Naruto, but long enough to establish a good relationship with Ayame and her Father.

"Shut up "Naruto growled, but it was more friendly then angry.

"Wow childish much? No better come back then that? You really are a dumb blond aren’t you?" Kiba said, a cocky smirk settling on his face.

This sort of behaviour had long since become commonplace between the two Chuunins, even reaching a point where no one questioned when the two began verbally digging at each other in public anymore. It was as natural as breathing now and neither teen would have it any other way. In reply Naruto took a gulp from his glass of water before casually pitching the liquid to his right, smirking when he saw the attack connect out of the corner of his eye. Half a glass of water hit Kiba square in the face and the resulting sputter of indignation from the brunet made Naruto smirk.

"Bite me, Mutt" he said before requesting a refill from the stand's owner.

Kiba growled and wiped his face on his sleeve.

‘Bastard, I’ll show you’ he thought maliciously. Grabbing Naruto’s wrist, Kiba savagely closed his jaws on to the blonde’s forearm. Akamaru nudged Naruto’s other side (double team bitch!) knocking him off his chair as Kiba released his arm. A grin curled the Inuzuka’s lips as he watched the blond fall to the ground between the two stools.

"Don't tempt me" he said. The owner took that moment to return with Kiba's order and Naruto’s water, which the brunet promptly took and dumped on Naruto’s head.

“YOU BASTARD!" Naruto yelled, instantly jumping to his feet as his expression burned with furry. His eyes shot to his injured arm, blood was seeping into the orange fabric of his jacket. "Did ya have to break the skin? Asshole! Now I gotta get tested for rabies!" Eighteen years had granted Naruto a distinct height advantage over most other shinobi, Kiba included, and he was certainly using it now. Towering over the Inuzuka, Naruto was staring daggers, his eyes practically red with anger and indignation.

Kiba raised an eyebrow. "Calm down Blondie. Why’re you overreacting so much? You know as well as I do I didn't bite any harder then usual. Anyway, your wounds heal exceptionally fast so quit bitching.” Kiba glared up at Naruto, Akamaru growling his disapproval. “And I don't have rabies, if anything I should get tested for aids or something now, who knows what’s flowing through that blood of yours!"

Naruto didn't usually fly off the handle like this; Akamaru sensed something amiss with the blonde Chuunin.

"If you want me to make it feel better" he said snatching Naruto’s wrist once more. It was a basic action, one which Kiba had inadvertently picked up from Akamaru and one which was fairly normal in the animal kingdom. Pushing up the sleeve, he dragged his tongue over the already healing wounds, cleaning Naruto’s arm of blood. "Now calm down and shut the hell up! I'm hungry and I would like to eat ya moron."

Naruto flushed. His skin was suddenly hot and tingled like an electric current was coursing through his muscles. He sighed, frustrated, and slumped down onto his stool. With his eyes closed he turned to face the bar, determined to ignore Kyuubi's excited rumble of [“Claim him! Sink you teeth into his fresh meat!”] in his head. It was, unfortunately, that time of the season once again, or more specifically, that time for his resident demon.

Mating season.

The thought made Naruto shiver. It only happen once every decade or so, which was why Kyuubi constantly reminded him not to pass up the chance, and since Naruto had finally reached an age where he was susceptible to the "call" -Kyuubi's term not his- he couldn't ignore it. But that didn't mean he wasn't going to fucking try!

Naruto sighed inwardly. The more time passed, the harder it was becoming to resist his... urges. No, wait! Kyuubi's urges! Naruto couldn't possibly want to get some ass this badly, and he certainly cared where he got it from. He refused to slam anybody; man, woman, friend or foe. In his mental exhaustion, Naruto slumped forward, resting his face in his folded arms.

‘Wake me when mating season's over’ he thought miserably as he rested his headband clad forehead on the smooth surface of the bar.

Kiba began to eat his meal, putting Akamaru’s dish on the floor. He glanced sideways at Naruto, who, he noticed, was acting strange even for him. "Oi Naruto," Kiba said, a mouthful of noodles suspended, almost forgotten, over his bowl. "You okay? You seem a bit distracted." Had he gone too far and hurt the blond? It was possible if his friend was like normal people, but he knew Naruto was much more resilient than that.

"Hey, how about I order you a bowl of ramen on me?" he offered, saying the magic words he knew to always get Naruto’s attention; he could never turn down a free bowl of ramen.

[“I want more than a bowl of ramen on you Kiba-kun. That's for sure.”]

Naruto screwed up his face in disgust as Kyuubi's voice resounded loudly in his skull, though his expression remained hidden with his face buried in his arms. He had to get a grip! He, Naruto, was in control here, not Kyuubi! And no sex crazed fox in his head was going to make him jump into bed with anyone! Especially not Kiba of all people!

"Oi, Naruto?"

The blond started, realizing Kiba was talking to him. "Huh, what? Oh, sorry, Kiba but I think I'll skip it tonight. I'm tired; I think I'll just head home and go to bed." He stood up from his seat quickly, his movements reinforced by Kyuubi's urgent protests and more sexual comments. Turning on his heel, Naruto headed out.

"Later, Kiba" he called over his shoulder, making sure not to turn around.

Kiba blinked and looked at Akamaru, who shared his concerned expression. "You head home when you’re done, okay?" he said, sliding out of his stool and putting his bowl on the floor beside Akamaru’s first helping; he hadn't eaten more then half of it. “I gotta go check something out.”

"Hey, Naruto wait up!" the canine boy called as he ran to catch up with the blond. Naruto didn’t slow down, or acknowledge that he even heard his call, which only helped to worry Kiba more. Despite all their arguing and problems, Kiba still considered Naruto a good friend. "You’re sure your feeling alright?” he asked when he finally caught up with his friend. “Is there anything I can do?"

‘Shit!’ Naruto thought. The teen's presence made his skin burn and Kyuubi's demands for satisfaction louder and more difficult to ignore. "Nah, I'm fine. Tired is all. When the Hell did you give a rats ass how I'm doin'?" Naruto forced a chuckle and a smirk. "Gettin' sentimental on me, eh? Kiba?"

"You wish" Kiba grinned, his fangs gleaming slightly in the dying sunlight. "No, actually it's more like I wanted to see you walk into a pole or something, why miss a chance to see you humiliated eh?" He slung an arm over Naruto’s shoulders, "That and I didn't want the blame to somehow come back on me, so, once your home safe I'll leave you be. Also, this way your girlfriend Sasuke can't get mad at me for mistreating his property."

Kiba loved to tease Naruto about his friendship with Sasuke. He knew there was nothing there, but the point was to tease Naruto and get a rise out of him, which was always easier when he brought Konoha’s ex-traitor into the conversation.

Naruto flushed and averted his eyes from Kiba. Touching... touching was very bad. The blond was sweating slightly and his heart was pounding, fit to burst, against his ribcage. Blood was speeding to areas that should only be used in private. Correction, touching was very, VERY bad!

"Get off" Naruto said, shoving the brunet off in what he hoped was a playful, friendly way. "And if Sasuke was my lover don't you think he wouldn't be so uptight all the time?" he added, trying to sound as ‘Naruto-ish’ as he possibly could at the moment.

"Yeah, maybe, or maybe you’re just not doing it right. Anyway, Sasuke acts as if he has a stick up his ass all the time; I just figured that would be your doing" Kiba returned smirking and lightly shoved Naruto back in a playful manner.

He hadn’t picked up on Naruto’s shift in mood, but he did catch the scent of arousal in the air around him. It was faint, but unmistakably present. Was Naruto actually with Sasuke, in that way? Did talking about it embarrass or arouse Naruto?

Kiba chuckled deep in his throat at this thought. "So does he scream like a girl while you’re throwing it to him?" he asked as a mischievous gleam appeared behind his sharp brown eyes. He made his voice higher, more feminine and spouted moans of fake pleasure. "Oh, Naruto harder" he teased, not caring that the street was crowded and that people were giving them reproachful stares.

Naruto felt his flush go, if possible, an even richer shade of red. "Yeah, yeah" he said, his voice shaking slightly despite how hard he tried to steady it. "But I think I like you on your knees better, Kiba. Doggy-style, you know? That's right up you're alley." The words escaped his mouth before he could stop himself. He gulped, well if that didn't sound provocative?

"Oh, you wouldn’t believe the kind of pleasure you ca have when you’re having sex with the beast man,” Kiba said, playing along with what he believed to be Naruto’s joke and jabbing his thumb into his chest. “Doggy-style’s the only way to go, man. But I'm not a taker, this male is the alpha and no girl’s complained yet.

"So, you’re seriously slamming Sasuke? Dude that’s fucked up,” Kiba said, “but next time take some pictures so I can black mail him later."

‘That and it would be so incredibly hot to look at' the Inuzuka grinned as the thought crossed his mind. Oh yeah, Kiba was bisexual and although he was proud of it he didn't advertise it to the world, nor did he regularly take men to bed with him. However, if a cute guy was offering who was he to decline their desires? ‘I bet having sex with Naruto would be hot and rough.’

He let his mind wander as he laced his fingers behind his neck once more and looked to the sky. ‘We could really touch something unique; reach something on the primal level…’

Kiba shook himself mentally. Naruto would never be into something like that, especially if he was with Sasuke already and he’d never try to come between them. ‘I valued my balls way to much for that.’ Kiba shuddered and try not to imagine what Sasuke might do to him if he ever caught the Inuzuka moving in on his territory.

"Hell no!" Naruto turned to the Inuzuka, hoping his expression screamed, “Are you crazy?” He wasn't fucking Sasuke! That Ice Prince had a flock of rabid fan girls at his heels so dangerous that Naruto believed Tsunade should classify them as S-Class predators. "Why the Hell would I even want to be fucking him? I mean, that's way beyond flirting with danger, it's damn near suicidal!"

Kiba chuckled. "Oh, so you aren't hmm? Then maybe you have some class after all." The canine ninja grinned and smirked at Naruto dangerously. This was even better; maybe he could have his way with the blond after all. If Naruto wasn't dating Sasuke then things wouldn't be so dangerous. That is, unless the blond was with someone else. Kiba may be a horn dog of sorts, but he was a man of strict morals. He never tried to break up a couple, erotically come between them sure, but never forced a person’s relationship to end, or ask someone to cheat.

"So if you aren't humping Sasuke then who are you?" his voice was low and suggestive with a soft growl rumbling deep in his throat.

[“Very shortly you, my pet.”]

Sweat rolled down Naruto's back as Kyuubi's accursed voice spoke to him in an almost irresistibly husky voice. Why did this always have to happen to him? Damn Kyuubi! Damn Kiba! Damn this entire fucking season! Damn them all straight to Hell!

Naruto didn't like the tone behind Kiba's voice. Why was he so curious? Although it wasn't uncommon for guys to discuss their sex lives, gossip and brag about the more sweaty details of their latest fuck, there was something about Kiba's behaviour that suggested that the Inuzuka might have ulterior motives this time. And those motives were NOT what Naruto wanted or needed right now. All this talk about sex, humping, moaning and who Naruto was doing it to increased the blood flow inside his body. His pants suddenly weren't fitting properly around the crotch and he had to subtly shift his windbreaker to keep it from Kiba's roaming eyes.

Realizing Kiba was expecting an answer Naruto sighed inwardly. "No one at the moment," he replied tightly as Kyuubi mentally interjected with “Soon, pet, very soon...” "I mean no one seriously. I've slept with Sakura-chan off and on, but that's only after Sasuke rejects her latest scheme to seduce him."

Kiba laughed, "She should have given up years ago, man." He smiled as if in deep thought, "Hmm, I bet she's a nice lay and probably very... vocal. That’s good thing if you like that sorta thing. Do you like you’re chicks loud?" It was an innocent question, voiced out of curiosity because, frankly, Kiba realized how little he knew about Naruto’s personal life. Sure they were friends, but he didn't know the blond nearly as much as he knew Hinata and Shino. Then again, Hinata and Shino were like family, so that was a different story.

[“Do YOU like it loud?”]

Naruto ignored Kyuubi, he was getting really good at it over the course of this experience.

"She should have," the blond agreed, ignoring Kiba's later question. "But, I guess when you really want something you can't just give up after a few hundred rejections."

[“My sentiments exactly.”]

"Okay that’s cool, but you didn't answer my question" Kiba replied. "Come out with it already."

Naruto shifted uncomfortably, ever more aware of the rising tension between his legs. "She's... Sakura-chan's loud. It's kinda hot, but she usually ends up calling out Sasuke's name in the middle of it." The blond smiled thoughtfully. "I know she doesn't mean to, but, like I said, you can't lie to yourself when it comes to what you truly want in your heart."

"Whatever you say, Naruto. I've never been in love but I still never get the name wrong of whomever I'm having sex with. Then again, I never say their names either. What about you? Do you end up calling out the name of someone special?" Kiba was teasing and eyeing the young man beside him accordingly. The scent of arousal was much stronger, he noticed, and he was now able to determine that it was coming from Naruto.

"I haven't," Naruto began as the realization dawned on him. The pair, without realizing it, were very close to the blond's apartment. Dangerously close... Naruto could fee that Kyuubi was getting restless. The Nine Tails was thrashing in his prison, rattling the cage bars as if determined to charge through. It was growling low and huskily with a sense of urgency and hunger. Yes, Naruto could feel it... those emotions infecting his body, seeping into his system like poison.

"I haven't," Naruto repeated with a renewed sense of determination in his voice. Kyuubi would not win, he couldn't let that happen! "I don't remember ever calling out someone's name in the heat of the moment. Sakura-chan's really been the only person I've ever slept with, believe it or not. And hearing Sasuke's name in the middle of it sorta ruins the moment if you know what I mean. What about you?" All this talk about sex had perked Naruto's curiosity. What was Kiba's sex life like? Somehow it was hard to believe that the wild Inuzuka had any less than a handful of lovers he could go to when that notorious itch needed a good scratching. The "bad boy" appeal was just too hard for women to ignore. "What's your sex life like?"

“My sex life?” Kiba asked and almost looked lost in thought for a moment before he replied, “it’s usually meaningless and over the next morning. Sometimes I take the same lover a few weeks later, if they left an impression, but I haven't really found someone that has captured my interest for more then one night’s worth.” He paused for a moment and scratched his head, “Let’s see. I like 'em loud, I like ‘em quiet, I like ‘em submissive, Hell I haven’t done anything sexual yet that I haven’t liked a little."

Naruto smirked. Kiba had been making the rounds, picking up ass wherever he saw an opportunity just as he suspected. It wasn't a bad thing, though. If Naruto had a calling list as extensive as Kiba's had to be, at least he would have been able to relieve his sexual frustration since he just couldn't rid himself of it alone, and boy had he tried! "So, who’s made it into your little black book? You gotta gimme details, man." Was that his curiosity or Kyuubi's? Naruto couldn't tell anymore.

“I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Although it would be a pity to put such a great body to waste," he lightly nudged Naruto’s elbow and winked. "So maybe if I told you, I’d have my way with you and then kill you, so you'd know what a good lay was before you die."

He was only half kidding this time. Kami he'd love to have Naruto beneath him, he was probably an amazing lover -kind and gentle at times and hard and savage at others. He also couldn’t shake the thought of have Naruto’s tanned, sculpted body beneath him, trembling and thrashing with pleasure, fucking him so thoroughly that the blond screams his name in the ecstasy of climax. The thought made Kiba blush faintly.

“Don't tempt me,” Kyuubi said, seizing control of the blond's vocal cords. However, the Nine Tails couldn't say anything further for two sets of teeth clamped down painfully on his tongue. Shit! When did Kyuubi learn to take control of his mouth? Naruto could feel his tongue wiggle of its own accord, desperate to free itself. Damn! Damn! DAMN! If he didn't get control back right away there was no telling where Kyuubi would take this!

Kiba was stunned at this and the blush grew a richer shade of pink. "Oh really?" he said, recovering slightly and looking at Naruto who seemed to be fighting himself. ‘So, he actually wants to?’

Naruto’s tongue broke free of his jaw. It was bleeding slightly from the pressure he had used to try and keep it trapped, but it finally escaped. SHIT!

“Yeah really,” Kyuubi said. Naruto sank his teeth into his bottom lip until he could taste blood.

The only reprieve Naruto had was that he still controlled his limbs. He stepped backwards; they were at his apartment now. If he could only get inside then he would be safe...

Kiba grinned wolfishly and pressed Naruto back up against the door. "Well, how about we skip the telling and killing part and go straight for the sex, ‘cause Naruto I will rock your world.” His hand ghosted down the Naruto’s body until he reached the front of his pants and lightly brushed his palm over the blond’s bulging erection.

Naruto forced back a moan. He was losing grip on himself, almost as if Kyuubi had squeezed his way behind the wheel of his body. Naruto closed his eyes as the vision of Kiba before him blurred.

‘Control... I must get... control... Calm, I must stay... calm...’

But it was too late. Naruto could feel his fingernails grow and sharpen into points as his canine teeth extended downward creating fangs. The hot touch of Kyuubi's chakra was now surging though his body, changing it slightly to better suit his needs.

It was over.

Kyuubi had won.

Naruto fell away into the dark abyss of his mind.

“I believe you're getting the wrong idea”, Kyuubi said as he opened his eyes to reveal blood stained irises. “I’m about to rock YOUR world.”

Extra Author's Note: Okay, so we ended it with a teaser. But I didn't know if Suiton, the person who requested this fic, would have wanted a lemon or not. Which is why I'd like to ask people that if they are going to issue a challenge please include if they want it to include lemon (i.e. a sex scene) or not. Also, if people would like me to continue this oneshot (i.e. the sex scene between Kiba and Naruto) PLEASE REVIEW and tell me. Otherwise, I'll label this story as "complete" and move on to another pairing. Thanks!
