Headache

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but that's fine, I'm awesome without it

Hello beauties! This isn't off hiatus, but I needed a break from doing nothing. So don't expect anything for like, a week, or a month... Or a year, you know what, don't expect anything. There.

Two days later~

"What the hell do you mean it's my mark!" Kiba snarled at the people in front of him, more specifically, his mother, sister, and Gino, Mai's father. They all sat at a table together, and each one had their eyes on him. He had gotten some, shocking, or rather, depressing news, apparently, he had marked Mai! And obviously, in light of this news, he was going to bitch slap himself later.

"Well, exactly that Kiba, you and her are together now," Tsume, his mother said to him, in a excited voice, which was rare for her. "This is a good thing Kiba! You two are to be married anyway, and this is just another step to that." Tsume remarked happily. But the fact was, he didn't want to marry her, but every time he told his mother, she would get angry and quickly end the conversation. And she called him childish, not like he denied it, but still.

In reality he wanted to marry Sakura, but then again, what man wouldn't? Well except Shino and Shikamaru, but, that whole thing was just confusing, as he had finally come to the conclusion, there was no hole to stick it.

"But I don't feel all lovey-dovey!" Kiba slammed his fist down on the table as he said so, the table rattled with the impact. "Shouldn't I be fawning all over her or something?" He shouted, maybe not to them, but more to himself, it was, in a certain way, a way to convince himself that this wasn't happening. He couldn't marry that vampire, he didn't notice it before, but he had scratch marks all over his back, it look like he got mauled, that wasn't sexy! It turned him off even more when it came to her.

"It's unnatural for you not to feel different, but it should settle in, within a couple days." Hana told him softly. He hated what was happening, he hated how differently everyone was acting as well, Mai being even more annoying, Sakura ignoring him more, Akamaru becoming polite. It was madness! Madness in less than two days!

Kaemon could even smell it, though he didn't have any idea about what it meant, it still bugged Kiba, he didn't want him to know about it... He sighed and looked at them all, his mother looked so happy, so did Hana, he couldn't tell what Gino was feeling, but he assumed it was the same as the others.

"I'm going to get some air." Kiba mumbled and excused himself from the table, his head pounding. He stepped outside and in a second he felt better. Unfortunately it was only for that second he felt better.

"Kiba!" An annoying voice squealed from behind him. Feminine hands covered his eyes. "Guess who?" The voice said, not like he had to guess. There was only one other person who smelled like him, and at the same time made himself want bash his head against a tree until he died. But, he decided to humor himself, as, most likely some old man said, 'the best thing to do, is piss everyone else off while you laugh, you'll get slapped, but you can laugh through the tears'.

Chances are, he probably met that man at a bar, that's where all the good things happen to him after all. That's where good things happen to most people he believed.

"Sakura?" He said with fake enthusiasm, though he did secretly wish it were her.

"No!" The hands stopped covering his eyes, and instead pushed him forward. It caught him off guard, which was stupid, because he should have expected it, but instead he didn't, and because of it, he almost fell face first on the ground. "How dare you mistake me for that bitch!" Mai snapped as he regained his footing.

"She isn't a bitch..." He said weakly, unable to said it loudly, which confused him.

"Hmph! Whatever," Mai paused. "I came to talk to you about the wedding anyway." She crossed her arms and stared at him. His eyes seemed to stare right through him, maybe she had x-ray vision! 'Pervert'

He looked at her and sighed, he didn't want to do this right now. There was a moment of silence, he was unsure whether she wanted him to speak, or she was just badmouthing him in her twisted little mind. She was wearing her hair up in a bun, like she had been yesterday, and a purple dress that made her breasts seem bigger. Not like he was admiring them or anything...

"We need to go over our living details." She said, breaking the lovely silence. "You won't be bringing that thing with us will you?" She asked, talking about Akamaru, as if it were a totally reasonable question. "I really hope not." Which it totally wasn't.

Kibas eye twitch at the suggestion, of course he was bring Akamaru! How else could he survive living with her! He would rip his hair out and chances are he wouldn't even make it past forty if things kept following the same path!

"Of course I am!" He spat. "How could you even ask?!" He said, his hands clenched in a fist, shaking with anger, he wanted to hit her, he wanted to kick her, he wanted to kiss her...

"Don't speak to me in that tone!" She said as if she were offended, but it was he should have been offended, and he was! "Or are you forgetting?! You marked me!" She pouted. That's right, he did mark her, so why did it feel like she was becoming the alpha? "No other man could possibly want me now!" She dropped to her knees and quietly sobbed, he knew it was fake of course, it sounded more like evil laughter than crying. Why did he always attract crazy chicks?

Kiba wasn't so much surprised that she was pulling the fake cry card, but more so that her dress didn't rip. He swore, that thing must have been built to last. Kiba stared at her as she cried on the ground, even if he knew it was fake, it was still... Making him feel wrong, which in itself, made him feel even worse.

"Mai..." He bit his lip, why was he even talking. But it caught her attention, she stopped sobbing and looked up at him, her cheeks completely dry.

"Yes?" She said quietly.

"Don't... Cry" He whispered, he was really hating himself for this. He unconsciously reached out to touch her. He hand tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She stared up at him, her lips curved in a small smirk.

"Oh Kiba-kun, you're so kind to me!" She screamed as she jumped onto him. Almost forcing him to the ground. But that wasn't the problem, the problem was, he kind of enjoyed having her so close. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. Secretly smelling her hair, it smelt like strawberries, he liked that.

THE END

No, just kidding.

Like always read, review, get angry, cry, review again.
