Pairing: KibaXOC

Muhaahaha

Chapter one: the mutt and the bimbo

"What the fuck do you want, you mutt-bastard?!"

"Nothing from you, red-haired bimbo!"

"Asshole!"

"Whore!"

"Man slut!"

"She-male!"

"Transvestite!"

"Stripper bitch!"

"At least I don't get off with partners of the same sex!"

The dog boy's eyes widened in fury, but alas, he could think of nothing better to come back with. The girl's lips curved into a victorious smirk.

"I am not gay!" Kiba yelled, seeing red, and about to charge, only for something to hold him back by his hood.

"Lemme go, Shino! She crossed the line!" Shino just sighed.

"She is your teammate... try to get along." Shino said in an exasperated tone.

"She called me gay!" Kiba protested.

"And what's wrong with being gay, Kiba? Are you being offensive to Naruto-kun and Sasuke-nii-chan?" the redheaded girl smiled demurely, and Kiba glared even harder.

"Shut it, Hotaru! You know what I mean, you billboard of a female!!"

"Wanna say that again, Mutt?!"

Shino and Hinata both just watched as the fight escalated, Kiba preparing to set Akamaru on Hotaru, and Hotaru performing the hand sign that made her eyes glow with a white light and the grass around her feet singe and burn.

"Hotaru, Kiba, that's enough." the group's teacher, Yuhi Kurenai, ordered, appearing out of nowhere and stepping between them, pulling them apart. "You should be past this by now!"

"Gomen, KurenaI-sensei..." the pair both said, both looking at their feet.

Kurenai frowned. They're both so stubborn and loud and both like to lead... I fear they'll never be able to work together...

Kurenai refocused on the two, who were now already giving each other dirty looks. She sighed. She just did not understand it. She had asked Hinata and Shino and even some of the other Genin about it, but apparently they had always been like this. No apparent history, they just didn't get along.

And she had already tried trapping them in a Genjutsu until they worked it out, all that happened was that they argued so much that Kurenai could hear it in her mind, and she ended up having to release the jutsu after only five minutes.

"Well, anyway, today our mission is..."

"Agh, well done Inuzuka-teme, congrats on getting in the way!" Hotaru exclaimed sourly as another unconscious enemy shinobi fell, singed and unconscious, at her feet.

Kiba bristled.

"Me?! It was you who burned me on purpose with your jutsu!" he yelled.

"No way! My Hikarigan has a one-hundred percent accuracy rating! It only missed because you got your fat head in the way! It was your fault!" she shouted, shaking a clenched fist.

"Was not! You're the one with-"

"Kiba! Hotaru! Quit arguing for five seconds and help us! There's a new wave of them coming! Work together to protect Usagi-san!" Kurenai ordered, and the two Genin wrinkled their noses in disgust.

"Me?! Work with that thing?! Not in a million years!" Kiba yelled.

"Yeah, I don't need his help! I can do it all by myself! It wouldn't make much difference!" Hotaru shouted.

"Are you saying I'm weak?!" Kiba started to see red for the sixth time that day.

"My three-year-old cousin could beat you in a fight! Weak is an understatement!!!" Hotaru clenched her fist, expression challenging.

The pair's bickering was interrupted by a gasp of "Kurenai-sensei!" from Hinata, and they span around with a gasp, seeing their teacher, with a large wound in her side. She had taken the hit that was meant for the client. The hit that would not have been a threat if Kiba and Hotaru had done as they were told.

"Kurenai-sensei!" somehow working together while ignoring each other, Kiba and Hotaru took out the remaining enemy shinobi, while Shino and Hinata saw to Kurenai. The pair equally felt immense guilt, as they rushed to their sensei's side.

"Kurenai-sensei! I'm so sorry!" they both said frantically, as the brunette woman gave them a stern look.

"Let this be a lesson to you... I don't care how much you argue in your free time, but-" Kurenai cut off with a wince and she gripped her side. "leave it off of the mission grounds. You have to be able to work as a team!"

Hotaru bit back a snide comment, thinking that starting up another argument with the pain in the ass Inuzuka would not be ideal right now.

"Kiba, Hotaru, you two stay and finish protecting the client. Hinata, you come with me to escort Kurenai-sensei back to the village." Shino said.

"What?! No way! I'm not staying with him/her!!" Kiba and Hotaru both yelled, pointing to the other.

"The chances are, you're going to run into more enemies. You two have the most power at short range, the most speed, and are both good at sensing enemies, so are more suited to protecting the client." Shino's shaded eyes stared the pair down before they could argue. "However, me and Hinata have good sensory capabilities with Hinata's byakugan, and better long-range attacks, so better for preventing enemies from getting close enough to inflict more damage on Kurenai-sensei."

The argumentative pair drooped. They both knew Shino was right.

Kurenai smiled.

"Well done, Shino." then she looked to the other three, along with the client.

"Shino's right. What he said is the best plan of action."

"Damn..." Hotaru muttered. "Just don't don't get in my way, mutt."

Then she turned away, and went and started walking with the client. Kiba glared at her back.

"Hey! Don't just leave me behind like that!" he yelled, running to catch up. The other three sighed simultaneously as they disappeared into the trees.

"Will they be able to work together, do you think?" Hinata asked quietly, and Shino smirked, in confidence that noone would see it because of his collar.

"Better than you might think..." he muttered, and then they started the long journey back to Konoha.

"Ugh... I still can't believe I'm stuck with you for the next three days, mutt-bastard..." Hotaru muttered as she set up the campfire.

"Yeah well if you think I'm enjoying this you're wrong, bimbo." Kiba growled, de-scaling some fish they'd caught earlier.

Hotaru held her hands out in front of the unlit wood.

"Ka!" the wood caught fire instantly, "as I said, stay away from me, and nobody gets hurt."

"Che, whatever." Kiba said, staking the fish, and Hotaru stalked away, to collect water. The white-haired man that was their client spoke up once she had gone.

"You like that girl, don't you?" he said, his lavender eyes watching carefully as the dog boy stiffened, then whipped around.

"Hell no! Me like her?! Not in a million years!!" he yelled, and Usagi just smiled slightly, as if he knew something the inu didn't.

"Of course."
