{Prologue} {Chapter 1} {Chapter 2} {Chapter 3} Chapter 4
A/N: Well, while y'all enjoy reading this chapter, I’m going to try to ease back into writing. It’s been a while, but I should really start since I really don’t like giving late updates. So wish me luck! I really hope the next chapter won’t be sloppy… I’m very sorry the chapter is short!
She heard the familiar ding of the door opening. Someone was here. Kiba was giving a pup a bath at the moment so she peeked from the wired cage. She couldn’t see much from the enclosed cage so she settled to just giving Kiba a signal that someone was here. She was about to meow, but Kiba came out of the bathroom with a white fluffy towel over the golden retriever as he tried to dry him up. He looked up to notice the guest standing close to the doorway. Hinata saw him smile brightly as he put the puppy back in his cage. He went out to meet the person out there and Hinata closely listened to the conversation.
“Yo, Naruto! Good to see you man! It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” he greeted Naruto. She assumed that he brought the man into a hug since she could hear him patting his back.
“Good to see you too, Kiba! Man it has been a while since we’ve gone out. Maybe we can call up the guys and go out some time?” the man had a deep, husky voice with a few cracks. It soothed her ears and she dazedly crept to the far corner of the cage since she could hear their footsteps draw near her.
“Yea that would be a good idea… Well forget about that right now. Right now, you came to look around for a pet and hopefully adopt one right?”
“Yup!” The man seemed to be very cheerful.
“Let me show you the first one I have in mind. You know the cat that I was talking about on the phone? Yea well if you plan on adopting her then take care of her no matter what. She’s fragile.”
“Yea, yea Kiba. You just don’t seem to trust me with this cat. I’m a responsible adult ya know.”
She heard Kiba scoff at that.
“Besides if you’re so worried then why don’t ya just adopt the cat yourself?”
That intrigued her. She sat up and listened more attentively.
“You know that I’m more of a dog person. Besides… there’s something about her that tells me that I’m not the one that’s supposed to adopt her but someone else, which is why I didn’t name her…” he mysteriously said. She was sure that the man was now looking confusedly at him. She herself did not understand what he meant. But she waved it off when she saw their shoes right in front of her cage. She heard the slight creak as the cage opened and she scampered even further from the entrance and closer to the back of the cage.
She saw Kiba bend down on his knees as he reached his hand into her cage to pet her, to coax her to come out. She meowed and then purred into his hand. He was still very good at petting her. He reached out his other hand and gathered her in his arms. She closed her eyes, not wanting to scare the man with her daunting eyes.
“She shuts her eyes before meeting anyone new. I guess it’s because she knows their reactions if they see her eyes. Poor girl, she’s pretty smart too.” Kiba sadly sighed and scratched her under her chin. “I told you already how her eyes look like so Naruto you better not act like a jerk when you see them,” as Kiba said that he intensely glared at the man.
Her ears twitched as the man dropped to his knees and took her into his arms. She meowed in surprise when she felt strong and lean arms take her in and gently stroke her. His hand were rough with callouses but yet very gentle with her. “Wow,” she heard his husky voice whisper under his breath. With bated breath on what he would think of her, her eyes slowly fluttered open. She timidly looked up at him.
He was very attractive. He had a strong and chiseled jawline with three whisker marks, probably tattoos, on each cheek. His cerulean eyes reminded her of the times when she would look out to the ocean or a clear sky with no clouds. Blond spikes peeked out of the gray beanie. His smile was the thing that mostly drew her in. At the sight of her opening her eyes he goofily grinned down at her with his eyes closed, as if he was the Cheshire cat. She felt her heart warming up and fluttering as he broadly grinned down at her. She was captivated.
He smiled gently when he saw her eyes, not at all frightened. “Her eyes are actually very alluring. They remind me of the moon.”
‘The moon,’ she thought. No one has ever compared her eyes to the moon. They’ve always been the eyes that reminded people of a monster.
“Yea, that’s exactly what I thought, but apparently we’re only a minority. People get scared and I’m still very confused about that.” Kiba agreed with Naruto.
“Well I decided right now that I’m going to adopt her. With the way you praise her, I have to get her right now before you take her from me,” he teased the Inuzuka man.
“Alright well you’re going to have to wait for a few days because I have to get the adoption papers ready and I gotta teach you how to take care of her and what to buy for her etc etc.” Kiba slapped his back as he finished talking and got up to stretch his limbs. Naruto looked reluctantly at her cage and then at her. He was still gently coddling her.
He looked at Kiba and said, “Would she bite my head off if I kissed her?” Kiba looked thoughtful for a minute and shrugged. “I’ve never done that so I don’t know. But she’s never attacked me so really it’s your choice if you wanna risk it.”
Naruto looked down at her and just sat still for a minute, thinking if he should do it or not. He then smiled and leaned down to peck her nose. He then hesitantly put her back in the cage and shut the wired cage door. She watched as Kiba and Naruto left, with Naruto’s arm slung over Kiba’s shoulders, conversing on how to take care of her.
Even though he was very kind, she still could not bring herself to trust him. He could just get sick of her and throw her out later on.
Suddenly she felt a fluttering sensation around her and a bright light that blinded her for a second, but then it was gone as fast as it came, as if nothing actually happened. She thought that she might just be seeing things so she curled up and slept peacefully with a certain blond haired man plaguing her dreams.
