Word from Starry: Gomen about the lateness of this chapter. Had a few family trips and such. Thanks to those who have reviewed. Enjoy!

I warn you that some chapters will contian Shounen-ai, so if you don't like to read those kind of stories, then don't read mine. I don't want flames or anything. I know some characters might be OOC, but it's fanfiction, so leave me alone. Arigatou.

Counseling – Hinata x Kiba

"So, Miss Hyuuga, what happened last night?" The white beard, man asked the pale dark haired heiress sitting across from him in the La-Z-Boy.

Her light lavender eyes moved to the coffee table in front of her and she noticed that the tea cup was chipped and the table had a few grains of sand. When she looked down at the sofa, she noticed grease stains on it.

"Miss Hyuuga, did you not hear me?" Mr. Minatare looked at the eldest Hyuuga with an expressionless face. His voice flat with no emotion.

"A-ano, y-yes, I heard you," Hinata looked down at her hands as she answered, embarrassed for her late reply.

"Could you tell me what happened last night?" The man looked at the girl for a few seconds before going back to his notebook.

"Y-Yes," the shy girl started. "E-eto, Kiba-kun loves dogs." Her voice was soft and Mr. Minatare had to really lean in to try and hear her. "A-and Akamaru got out of the house last month and brought home a girlfriend." At the word girlfriend, Hinata blushed a bit before pressing her index fingers together.

"Is that the problem? Akamaru has a girlfriend? I believe Akamaru is the dog, correct?"

"Y-Yes, Akamaru is Kiba-kun's dog." Hinata glanced up to see Mr. Minatare writing. When he looked up, she went back to look down at her hands. "W-well, the problem is that Akamaru's girlfriend had puppies. L-lots of puppies… a-and now they're running around the house and Kiba-kun is very fond of them." Hinata closed her eyes and sighed.

Mr. Minatare nodded, listening to what the shy girl was saying. He had been writing down as she spoke, so he briefly paused to turn the page before resuming. "Go on," he said, his gaze on the notebook.

Hinata nodded slowly. "I-I don't want to tell Kiba-kun that it bother's me, b-because it really doesn't. B-but I'm tired of having to clean up the dogs droppings every second." The dark haired girl's face turned beet red at this and her index fingers were now pressing against each other very hard. "I-I don't want to hurt his feelings or Akamaru's. W-what should I do?" Hinata slowly looked up at Mr. Minatare, the blush slowly receding.

After that long time of not speaking, Mr. Minatare finished writing and looked up at the troubled girl. "Perhaps you should get closer to the dogs and make your husband see that you love dogs as much as you love him. That will really clear the problem up."

"E-eto, the problem is with the dogs, not really with Kiba-kun-" Hinata couldn't finish, Mr. Minatare raised a hand signaling her to be quiet and Hinata did was she was told.

"I know the problem is with the dogs, but you need to show your husband you love him. You should go home and right before bed, pick up a dog and kiss it. Nuzzle it and show your husband how much you care for the little animals. You say Kiba likes dogs, correct?"

Hinata nodded.

"Then there you have it, the key to success. Licking the dog and kissing it will make him see how important your relationship is to you." Mr. Minatare almost smiled at Hinata but it was forgotten when he looked down to write once more.

"A-ano, a dog is an animal… I-I don't lick animals…" Hinata now had a puzzled expression evident on her face.

"Hinata, Hinata, are you forgetting? You're doing this for your future. Now, all you do is go home and before bed you just lick the dog and smile at your husband and tell him how fun it is to cuddle with the little puppies."

"A-Ano…"

"Now, will I be seeing you next week?" Mr. Minatare looked up from his notebook and gave a stern look to Hinata.

All the girl did was blush and get up from the comfortable seat before bowing down and slowly walking out of the office. How was she going to do this? She asked herself, as she walked out of the building. She continued to walk a few feet away from the place before turning around to stare at the sign. It just hung there by one of the hinges and slowly rocked back and forth due to the wind.

The sign just stared at her. "Couples Counseling! Hooray!" It was as if it was just smiling at her.

"Hinata! How'd it go?"

Hinata turned her attention to Sakura who ran towards her, a smile on her face.

"E-eto, Sakura-chan, a-ano, it was alright." She lied, but she didn't want to hurt Sakura's feeling. After all, it had been her who had recommended this place after seeing Hinata being pulled into the river by the 15 puppies she had on a leash.

"Good, I'm glad to hear that! Well, I'll be off now. Ja ne!" Sakura waved her hand to Hinata before turning around and walking away.

Hinata waved back slowly, lowering her hand after realizing that Sakura was long gone. Now to go home and figure out how she was going to do what Mr. Minatare had told her. The girl sighed before beginning her way back home.

(Next Day)

"So, Mister Inuzuka, how was last night?" Mr. Minatare sat in his all familiar chair, staring at the young man wearing a coat with his hood up.

Kiba shrugged before lifting his legs up and putting them on the coffee table in front of him. Frankly, he didn't care if this was rude or not. The old geezer had told him he could do anything, as long as he talked and shared his relationship problems.

"It was weird," he said, scratching his head hard. "Hinata changed in a few hours. I had never seen her like that! Ever, and it was a bit… scary…"

"Really now?" The older man began writing and after two minutes or so, he looked up from his notebook and stared at Kiba. "What did Hinata do?"

Kiba's eyes widened for a brief moment before going back to their normal state. "She licked the dogs…" Kiba sat up and rested his hands on his lap. "Who licks dogs? Then she wanted to kiss me! Of course her cute face was red but she was determined."

"Did you let her kiss you?"

"No. She KISSED the dogs! I don't kiss anyone who's kissed dogs. That's gross. Do you know what dogs do with their mouths?" Kiba raised an eyebrow at Mr. Minatare and waited for him to reply.

"No, Mister Inuzuka, I don't know where the dogs mouths have been. Do you?" He began writing once more, keeping his eyes on Kiba.

"YES! And you don't want to know." Kiba crossed his arms over his chest. "Now, what do I do? I don't want to break up with her because of her kissing dogs… but I don't want to be with her if she prefers that kind of kinky stuff." He stared at the older man with a vision that said, 'Help me or you don't get paid.'

The man with the glasses nodded and put his notebook down, face down. "That is why I am here, Mister Inuzuka, to help." He lifted a leg and crossed it over the other one, placing his hands on the upper knee cap. "I believe that Hinata is doing this because she wants you to love her like a dog loves his master. She gets the puppies and licks them because she wants to lick you like that. She is telling you in her own little language that she wants you to love her. Since you are around dogs, she figures you'll be the same."

Kiba listened as the old man spoke and nodded. He was a bit confused though, why would Hinata want Kiba to act like an animal? Then it clicked in his head, a big smile appearing on his face. "So this means she wants me to be 'wild' with her in bed?" Kiba sat back in his chair and rubbed his hands together.

They hadn't done anything too passionate, but the things they had done had been sweet, gentle and easy going. Kiba had wanted to be a bit rougher but he'd figured that Hinata wasn't that type. But now, hearing this from Mr. Minatare was like striking gold! Hinata wanted him to be a man!

"Yes, Mister Inuzuka, she wants you to be rougher with her. Handle her as the woman she wants you to make her." Once more the notebook was picked up and he began to write in it, his expression showing no emotion. "Will that be all Mister Inuzuka or is there something else?"

When Minatare looked up, he found the comfortable La-Z-Boy empty and the door closing.
