Disclamer: I'm already bidding the producers for rights on Naruto. Borderline – Epilogue

The moment he woke up he knew this day would suck. Not because he had sleepy eyes or bed hair – he'd kept that for today, looking cute also had its advantages – but because his intuition told him the others would be back today.

He arrived early to practice, Shino came only a little later and they stood opposite each other before Shino bent down to kiss him gently. They'd continued to do that until Hinata arrived and fainted a the sight of them. Akamaru had shown a similar reaction last night when he had come in on Kiba taking a shower and saw the hickeys that Shino had left on him. He didn't faint, but had wanted to alarm the whole house that his owner was hurt. Kiba had to explain the whole story to him and the – now recovered – dog was laying in the grass sleeping.

Kurenai – Sensei arrived shortly after Hinata, who was back on her feet again.

"How was the training ?"

"Exhausting", Kiba groaned.

"I guessed as much, what did you do ?"

Kiba looked embarrased to the side.

"Speed improvement", was all Shino said in his monotone voice.

"He chased be all the way to the Borderline", Kiba added.

"Hm…", Kurenai – Sensei exclaimed, "Is that a hickey ?" She pointed to Kibas neck.

Kiba blushed. Shino just stood there. Hinata fainted.

That was it.
