Naruto sighed and turned to Kiba, "Well, see ya!"
"uh uh. Your doing my math!" The other growled out.
"What! I don't even know how to set the equation up!"
"Well, you should have thought of that before you decided to play hide and seek!"
"Well excuse me for trying to liven up a school after noon!"
"You didn't even ask me if I wanted to play, you just yelled "I'll hide, you seek!" and took off."
"Shh! Duck-butt'll hear!" The blond looked quickly over the dog-lovers shoulder, at Sasukes' house.
Kiba rolled his eyes. "I'm going home. Akamaru needs a walk."

Naruto sighed and sat in the tire swing in front of his house, watching the retreating figure with sad eyes.
"You'll come back, right? Kiba?" The blond called.
"Yeah, yeah." Kiba said over his shoulder, making Naruto smile softly. His house was always empty, his Gordian always out on business.
