Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Shino would be shirtless, Gaara would be in love with Ino, and Sasuke would enjoy wearing pink… Oh, and Haku would finally admit he's a girl!

Summary: Sometimes, you just have to feel pity for poor Kiba…

Reality Check

By, Vitoria-Chan

Shino Aburame must pay…

"Hey dog brains!"

Shino Aburame must pay!

"Yo! Idiot, I'm talking to you!"

Shino Aburame WILL pay!

"Come on! I want RAMEN!"

…And while I'm at it, I might hurt Naruto as well…

"Will you answer me already!"

"Naruto! Will you shut up! I'm trying to think evil thoughts…"

"Oh… Is that why you were sulking in that dark corner?"

Hey! I was not sulking…Sulking isn't manly.

"I was not sulking! I had something in my eyes!"

"So is that why you went around town screaming 'Why did you betray me Hinata!' all morning?"

…Note to self: After revenge on Shino Aburame is complete, kill Naruto…

"And is that why you spent the whole afternoon smashing your head against that tree in the park?"

…Actually, I take that back. I must first destroy Uzumaki Naruto… Shino will simply have to wait for his turn…

"And, is that why you're obviously suffering from obsessive attention compulsion disorder and should see a psychologist?"

…Did Naruto just say something smart…OMG! It's the end of the world! RUN!

"Or… At least that's what Shikamaru said…"

…That's it! Note to self: After destroying Naruto and Shino, prepare evil plan to take down Shikamaru…

"… Oh, and he also thinks you need to take a bath…"

…Evil Plan of Doom must include my sister's 'borrowed' pink dress…

"Plus, he thinks you should leave Hinata alone… She's obviously happy."

…And while I'm at it… My plan shall also include ribbons… Lot's and lot's of ribbons.

"Plus, he thinks you should leave Shino alone, it's not his fault he's in love…"

I hope Shikamaru likes lipstick…

"Plus, he said that if you ever try to sabotage another one of their dates, he will personally get Choji to kick your behind."

…Does EVERYONE hate me?

"Pretty much."

"Was I thinking out loud again?"

"Yep…"

"…"

"So, can we go get ramen now?"

"Naruto…"

"Ya Kiba?"

"Shut up."
