After my shower I insisted on leaving to which Kiba didn't stop, which he couldn't even if he wanted too as I was very serious about leaving.

The longer I stayed around him was the more it hurt, and the worse part is he acted like he didn't even care.

Despite that, he did follow me to the bus stop though.

He was dressed like it was cold outside when the Sun was literally burning my scalp. He wore a white sneakers, a black pair of shorts and a black hoodie with a pair of black sunglasses.

I didn't question it as I tried my best not to converse with him.

"I'm sorry you didn't get to meet my family this weekend."

"It's fine."

"Maybe next time."

"..." I didn't answer, especially since that was the same thing he said to me last night.

"..."

"I'm bummed we won't get to head to the rave later on together. It would've been cool to go shop for some stuff on the way there."

"Yeah."

"Do you wanna meet up later and maybe we could go before we head down there?"

"No."

"How come?"

"Because I just don't want too."

"Am I troubling you, Kit?"

"Why would you think that?"

"You've been kind of giving me the cold shoulder since this morning. Like I would've went back to your house with you, but I have things I need sort of here at home, but I don't think you'd even want me too."

"Oh, I hadn't realized."

"I know there's something wrong with you but-"

"Kiba, I don't really wanna hear it, okay? If everything is fine with you then it's fine with me too cause after all nothing happened between us for there to be any animosity, right?"

"..."

"Fantastic, and as your friend if there was anything wrong then we'd tell each other, right?"

"..."

"Awesome! So for the tenth time, everything is good."

"Then why won't you come to the party?"

"I'll be busy."

"With what? If you don't mind me asking."

"Homework, we do have school tomorrow."

"You never mentioned anything about homework since Friday."

"Yeah, well I must've miscalculated."

(A/N: Okay Azula 🥴 also I'm literally in love with Azula. This isn't the first time but I love me a villainous female character, don't even get me started on BlackFire from Teen Titans)

"..."

"How long before the bus gets here?" I asked as I was losing my patience.

"In a bout five minutes."

"Feels like an hour."

"It's a slow day."

"No kidding." I replied, rolling my eyes in irritation.

"You know, I still haven't gotten your number after all this time."

"Really..." I replied, acting shocked.

"Yeah, maybe you could give it to me now and I'll text you the location in case you change your mind?"

"..."

"Just if you change your mind..."

I sighed in frustration as I turned my backpack around on my shoulder and dug through it for a pen. Once I found it I took it out and took Kiba's hand while swiftly writing my number and letting go of him.

"Do you need mine as well?" He asked with a smile.

"I guess so, in case I change mind." I replied, while holding out my for him to tell me his number so I could write it down.

"Can I?" He asked as he reached for the pen.

He held my hand firmly while scribbling his number down on my palm, it tickled a little bit but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of making me smile, not this time around.

"Finished." He stated, just then the bus had turned the corner and I fanned it down immediately, not wasting another second.

It stopped and I took a step on without any hesitation.

"Kit?"

"..."

"Maybe next week could try again?"

"I don't think there's going to be a next week."

"What...What do you mean?"

"Kiba...you know what forget it! There's nothing more to say." I decided as I walked up into the bus, but stopped on the top step and looked down at him. "You really are representing what it is to be a true man."

He stood there speechless. If it wasn't for his glasses then maybe I would've seen the true effect of what my words had on him, but right now, I didn't care.

I knew it was a low blow because I knew he was sensitive as it came to his family and the pressure his dad places on him. But if he didn't care for my feelings then why should I care for his?

I paid and took my seat on the bus while he just watched on. The bus doors closed and it began driving off, I kept my straight until I was at the top of the road and looked back only to see that he was already gone about his way.

I looked at his number in my palm and rubbed it away, I didn't want to be reminded of him. If this was the end of our story then so be it.

I'd much rather it ended here rather than in the lies that we would have had to keep up in order to maintain it.

•••

Later that day while I laid aimlessly in bed. I couldn't shake the thoughts of Kiba from my mind, it's been two hours already since I got home and it's just been him.

Over.

And over.

And over again.

It's driving me insane.

On one hand, I'm happy I stood up for myself, kind of and did what I felt like was the right thing to do instead of sitting there and be played like a fiddle. But on the other hand, I really did think of him as a great guy and a good friend.

I guess I was wrong.

"Naruto?" I heard Naruko call as she knocked on my door.

"Go away!"

"Are you changing?"

"Yes! I'm completely naked."

"Menma!" She complained, just as I heard the door opening.

"I said move, Naruko. We both have the same dick it's okay if I see it." Menma stated as he opened the door and just stared at me as if he was waiting for something.

"What?" I asked.

"You're not naked." Naruko glared.

"What do you mean what? Why aren't you change?" Menma asked.

"Changed for?"

"Change for?" He mocked me. "The rave party, don't play dumb."

"I'm not playing anything."

"Then why aren't you dressed?" Naruko asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm not going anywhere." I replied.

"What? Why?" The said in unison. "Jinx! You owe me a grape soda!"

"Jinx!"

"Jinx!"

"Double Jinx, HA!" Menma laughed.

"Infinity jinx." Naruko retaliated as she proudly walked over to me. "I don't lose that game, and make it a cherry soda."

"So what's up with you now?" She asked as she sat on my bed and ruffled my hair.

Menma came shortly after her and sat laid on the other side of the bed behind me. It wasn't very often that you catch all of us in one of our bedrooms, it was like a special occasion every since we were young.

It always made me emotional, because that's exactly what it was. We felt each other's pain and so to ease it we provided each other with our company.

But how could I get comfort from them if I couldn't tell them about the situation.

"I just don't feel well." I kind of lied.

"Feeling sick? Depressed? Male hormones got you down?" She asked, earning a snicker from Menma and I.

"You laughed bro, so it can't be that you're ill."

"Sick people can laugh too." I replied.

"Not that type of sick." Menma pointed out.

"So what's the reasoning then?" Naruko asked.

"It wouldn't make sense for me to go."

"Why? Did you have a falling out with someone?"

"Yeah, kind of."

"Was it Kiba?" She asked, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Yeah..."

"Oh so Mister Perfect, has flaws." Menma teased.

"Tsk, Kiba was never perfect, Menma. He just wanted to be nice to mom and dad. It's called being respectful." Naruko corrected him.

"I know, I was just messing with you. I know he's a good guy." Menma smiled.

"Hm, yeah right."

"Well what was the falling out about, Naruto?"

"Can't really talk about it."

"It was that bad."

"More than you both can imagine."

"Well, not much we can do right there."

"But that still doesn't mean you should stay home all by yourself."

"It wouldn't make sense for me to be around all his friends if him and I weren't on good terms."

"Yes it would! Because we're not just his friends, we're also your siblings."

"Yeah, and our friends are your friends."

"That's like one of the triplets rule."

"Haha we don't exactly share the same interests among each other."

"True, but with how large our friend group is there has to be someone that you get along with, cause like I'm not too fond of Kauri and TenTen doesn't really like Temari, but that's fine because we don't have to be besties with them, we're just friends with their boyfriends."

"Yeah, and I fuck with Kankuro but I don't fuck with Gaara in the slightest."

"Gaara seems so cool though."

"Haha Menma doesn't like Gaara because he made him eat weed cakes."

"Haha oh yeah! That was from the time we had to lock him in his room cause he kept swinging on the staircase. I remember that!"

"Ha ha ha very funny."

"Haha it is funny. Cause that cake wasn't even meant for you, you just got greedy."

"Whatever! He should've at least put Kankuro's name on it if he didn't want anyone to eat it."

"It did have his name on it. You literally bit the tag with his name on it and just threw it away."

"How is that my fault?"

"You're right. Haha Gaara should've known better than to assume you could read."

"Whatever! Naruto bro, just get up and let's go to this party and get wasted!"

"You mean have fun!"

"That's the same thing."

"I don't know... I still don't feel like it."

"Look, if you're upset about something then you need to surround yourself with things to distract yourself and even though Kiba is going to be there. You still have us, so whatever disagreement you have with him, just ignore it and stick to us like glue."

"Right! We got your back."

"Thanks guys. I really need this." I replied as I sat up and hugged both of them.

"Anytime."

"Group hug!" Menma cheered as he jumped up and engulfed us both in a big hug, putting a lot of pressure on Naruko and causing her to fall over with me and Menma.

"Menma you idiot!" We laughed in unison.

"You both are light weights." He chuckled as he laid on top of us as she struggled to get him off as we were also laughing.

///

After the conversation I decided that it was worth a shot for me to go the party.

I really couldn't have let this opportunity slide even if Kiba was going to be there and we weren't currently on the best terms.

So I got dressed up and left the house with my siblings and we got picked up by Gaara who drove us all down to where we needed to the location. Thankfully it didn't take long to get there and I'm hoping it doesn't take all night cause we really didn't have that option.

We all exited the car and made our way up to the building. They walked hand in hand, Naruko with Gaara and Menma with Hinata while I just followed behind them, and for the first time in my life.

I actually felt left out.

It wasn't that I was jealous or anything, but I didn't normally go out with them so I've never experienced what it felt like to be a third wheel, or a fifth wheel in this case.

The music got louder as we got closer. There was a security guard that made me feel a bit nervous about at first but seeing Menma and Naruko greeting him as if they were long time pals eased that tension.

"Aye Juugo!" Menma cheered as he hugged the big, tall and buff ginger haired man.

"Well if it isn't my favorite duo." Juugo smiled as he looked at all of them and I just kind of stood in the back.

"Well it should be favorite trio now, as you can see." Naruko pointed out as they all turned to look at me and I nervously waved.

"Oh shit! There really is three of you?! I thought you were bluffing." He laughed. "I owe Temari money now."

"Hm, I told you not to make bets with Temari, she doesn't gamble unless she wins." Gaara informed him.

"No shit." He sighed. "But hey, go on in there and have fun, alright? I gotta make sure nobody slips past and does any weird shit."

"You know if everyone has made it yet?" Naruko asked.

"Yeah definitely! Everyone is here, except Kiba."

"Huh?" Hinata asked. "He's not here?"

"Maybe he's running late?" Juugo suggested.

"That isn't like him though." She replied. "I should call him."

If it wasn't like him then why wasn't he here? Not that I want him to be here, but it's better he was here than me.

"Hina, just chill out. Maybe he's just running a little late. Give him at least fifteen minutes before you call, okay?" Naruko suggested.

"Yeah, he isn't a baby after all." Menma added.

"Okay..." Hinata agreed, attempting to put her phone away until Menma took it from her.

"Hey!"

"I know that look. Please just try and have some fun for me, okay?" Menma asked as he threw his arm over her shoulders and pressed his face against her cheek.

"Haha stop it Meme."

MEME? Was he a poodle?

I looked at Naruko at the mention of Menma's pet name that was unknown to me until now and she just gave me a knowing look and gestured to me that she thought it was absolutely hilarious as well.

Juugo encouraged us to enjoy the party and the moment we stepped in, I was blinded by the flashing lights that changed color on every beat drop. It was exactly like how I'd seen them on TV.

Crowds filled with people, some were grinding on each other, lounging at the bar, drinking it up at the sitting area and just chilling with their friends.

It was like so surreal to me. I was now really excited to spend this time with my siblings who had my back no matter what.

However, that seems to not include friends of theirs in the slightest.

"Is that Ino over there?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah, she's already ordering drinks for us, come on!" Naruko squealed as she dragged Hinata along with her.

"What about-" Hinata tried but was already being pulled away too quickly.

"Menma..." I trailed, watching as the girls ran off.

"OI KANKURO!" Menma yelled. "SAVE SOME FOR ME!"

Without even glancing in my direction he was gone too, to make matters even worse I don't even know where Gaara went as I looked all around me and he was nowhere to be seen.

Damn it.

I contemplated on whether I should just head back out and wait for them on the outside, but that wasn't going to help clear my mind from Kiba. I needed to be distracted and in the best way possible.

And what other way can I do that other than being surrounded by flashing neon lights, drinks, possibly some drugs and a crowd filled with people, most of which, I hardly even knew.

So I took the initiative and made my way down the steps and towards the bar. My siblings were on either sides of the building hanging out with their respective friend groups at the moment, so maybe I'll just get something to drink until they all decide to hangout together.

Right?

Wouldn't be a great idea to surround myself with the girls, nor would it be great to surround myself with the boys, maybe being by myself was better for me.

Does that make me a narcissist?

"Uh hi! Can I have a water please?" I asked as I reached the bar, but the bartender paid no attention to me.

Most likely he can't hear me, which is understandable given the loud music.

"Hey?!" I tried again. "Bartender?!"

"Oi Suigetsu!" A guy who just sat next to me called, earning the bartenders attention. "I'll have a cider, with some ice maybe pour some monster in it, thanks!"

"..." I remained quiet as I looked over at him, diverting my gaze as he looked back at me.

"You're not a regular here, are you?" He asked.

"Huh?"

"I said-"

"I heard you. It's just how did you guess?"

"You asked for a water." He chuckled.

"That doesn't mean anything, maybe I'm opening my appetite."

"Ah, for what exactly?"

"Some more water."

"Hahah I like the honesty."

"Thank you."

"So I noticed you entering the building with the twins, you a friend of theirs?" He asked.

"Friend? More like their brother, so that doesn't make them twins."

"Oh, so you're the third one?" He asked.

"Haha yes, the finally piece to the family. Who might you be though?"

"Oh! I'm a friend of theirs. My name is Rock Lee, but you can call me Bushy Brows."

"Haha and why would I call you that?"

"Isn't it obvious?" He smiled as he wiggled he lifted his bangs and wiggled his enormous eyebrows for me.

"Crap! Those things are like caterpillars!" I gasped, almost falling off the stool as he began laughing at me.

"It's good of you to notice." He replied as he fixed his bangs back.

It was nice that I had gotten along with him, but it also felt kind of strange to me. It was almost like he was flirting with me if I was being honest, there was this almost too comfortable vibe about him and he seemed to just be sharing anything with me.

"So..."

"Hm?" He asked, waiting for me to continue.

"What made you come over and talk to me?"

"Why wouldn't I? You're a friend of ours now, right?"

"..."

"Kiba spoke a lot about you."

Of fucking course...

"He has?" I replied, turning uncomfortably in my seat.

"Yeah, he said you're a cool guy and I was eager to confirm that for myself." He explained. "It's been a while since we've had a new friend to the group so it's nice to see you aren't like the last."

"Hm? The last? Who's the last?"

"A guy named Sasuke."

"..."

"You heard of him?"

"Yeah I've heard about him a bit."

"A bit?"

"So what was Sasuke like as the last friend?" I asked, not that I really needed to know, but I wanted too and also I wanted to push the conversation forward.

"It's better you figure it out for yourself, unfortunately. I think everyone can say he's done something to them, all except the one he doesn't deserve."

"Who's that?"

"Sakura..."

"You two are close?"

"Me and Sakura? I wish. If only I had gotten to her first then I'd be able to cherish her with everything within me, but that brute beat me to her, or rather he cheated his way to her heart." He replied, taking a sip of his drink that the bartender brought back for him as well as one for me.

"I ordered one." Lee corrected.

"I assume you're all going to leave a tab, so I just made another for this guy your so friendly with." The bartender chuckled, making me laugh alongside Rock Lee.

At least now I know he wasn't flirting with me earlier.

Needless to say, I don't think I was thirsty or wanting to open up my appetite anymore.

"So how did did he steal Sakura from you?" I asked as I pushed the drink one side.

"Well, personally I believe he did it because-"

"Hey!" A voice greeted from behind us. "Naruto and Rock Lee? What are you two doing here?"

"..." Rock Lee didn't reply as he kept his gaze on his drink.

"Sasuke..." I gasped as he smiled at me, but glancing over Rock Lee's face, I don't think what he was about to tell me was something to smile about.

•••

OMG! Okay like I already planned to make this a dark KibaNaru story, but this chapter just gave Sasuke a more bigger part in the story. Like you guys and me are in for a wild story starting right now and I'm excited!

Also Rock Lee and Naruto's moment was really sweet so I get what the Rockuto shippers see now.

Yes I made up another word 💀
