Shikamaru played by DeadAngel.
Kiba played by whiterose20021.

Neither of us own Naruto.







Shikamaru sighed as he sat back on the soft patch of grass thinking of nothing in particular as he watched the clouds go by. Closing his eyes gently he started to dream. The dream was his normal dream, the one of Kiba. Kiba was holding his hand now and kissing Shikamaru's cheek gently. Surprised of the dream Shikamaru's eyes popped open and looked around. No one was near him at all. Sighing he layed back down.

Kiba and Akamaru were taking a break by the river after training for several hours straight."Man,what a work out,huh Akamaru?"Kiba asked looking down at the pup.He looked up at yipped happily."Maybe later we'll go out and get something to eat.How about ramen?I've been hearing Naruto rave about it for about three months straight."He then laughed."Maybe because he was dragged off to another mission before he could even go and get a bowl."He leaned back on the tree they sat under.He let out a half content sigh as he let his mind wander for a while.

Looking up at the clouds again Shikamaru sighed again. "Where is Kiba?" He whispered. Kiba was his best friend and all but for some reason or another he never knew where he was...or maybe he zoned out again. Sighing out "Troublesome" He closed his eyes gently and started to drift off in his own daydream.

"So,your Shikamaru?"A woman's voice said curiously from a tree right by him."Your sensei said I'd find you here."She said jumping down from the tree.Her long black hair was let down to flow lightly without sound,unsual white highlights running from the roots to the tips of her hair.A single white feather hung from her left ear and an unusual fang hung from a cord necklace around her neck.Her eyes glinted playfully behind her violet irises,it was apparent that she was atleast one of the high ranking jounin from the green vest she wore open with a tight black tanktop under it.She dusted off her baggy shorts a bit."He did say it would be a pain finding you,but I need you for a mission.Well,now that I found you,I need to find Kiba and Akamaru.Wanna help?I would ask Naruto,but he's off with his group on a week long mission."She sighed.She looked to be in her early or mid-twenties like Kakashi.

Shikamaru looked up at her lazily irritated that he was woken from his dream. "Troublesome." He rolled to his side slowly and finally stood up. "I know where he might be...troublesome mutt." Sighing he started to walk off into the forest not caring if she fallowed or not. He came to a river soon and looked around. "KIBA YOU TROUBLESOME MUTT GET OUT HERE NOW!" He yelled rather loudly and unexpectedly to himself it made him jump slightly. He looked down at the foot prints and paw prints and fallowed them slowly.

"By the way,my name is Sonta Misoki,doubt if you've ever heard of me though.Not like I really stand out now a days."She said with a shrug as she followed after him..

Kiba and Akamaru were almost to the ramen shop when Kiba caught scent of someone new in the village,but thought nothing of it since they get a lot of visitors ever day.

Shikamaru cursed under his breath when he was lead out of the forest. "Troublesome mutt." He kept walking on waiting for someone to cross his path that knows where the mutts were. His mind started to go to thoughts of said mutt. He pictured Kiba with his shirt off all hot and sweaty showing his abs which made shikamaru blush and shake the thoughts away. He turned a couple of streets and went to the ramen shop.

Sonta smirked a bit.'Just like his old man.'She thought with a quiet chuckled as they headed into the village now."How's your old man doing?"She asked lightly.

"So what kinda of ramen do you want,Akamaru?"Kiba asked as he set Akamaru down on the stool next to him.Akamaru barked a bit."I'll take two chicken teriaki ramen,please."He said to the chef.HE nodded and started preparing the food.

He didn't hear the woman over all of his grumbling and mumbling. Sighing he walked into the shop sighing as he saw the kid. "You troublesome mutt..." He sat down and laid his head down waiting for the woman to talk to him. The chef set some ramen in front of him and he ate slowely.

"Shikamaru!"Kiba said looking at him."What are you doing here and why are you eating Akamaru's ramen?"He asked as Akamaru growled and barked at Shikamaru grouchfully.

Sonta looked at Kiba and Akamaru with a smirk."So you must be Kiba and Akamaru,right?Your mom and sister talk about you alot."She chuckled as she took a seat.

"And who are you?"Kiba asked looking at her.

"My name is Sonta Misoki,and Lord Hokage has assigned you two to me for a mission."She said lightly.

"Huh?Well,I got nothing better to do."Kiba said before glancing over at Shikamaru.'Talk about your freakky coinscidence.He thought,thinking about the dream he had the other night.

Shikamaru looked over at the dog and smiled taking another bite then putting it on the ground for the dog. Sighing he looked up at Kiba who was looking like his normal sexy self. 'I am not suppose to be thinking these things...' Shikamaru thought blushing but shook his head and looked at the woman. "When do we start and what's the job?" He asked in a rather bored expression. sighing he looked at the chef. "The normal." He said looking over at the two again. Finally his came and he gave Akamaru the amount he ate from the puppies bowl and started eating again.

"Long story short,we've been assigned a search and rescue mission level A."Sonta said lightly as she munched a some narutos that sat out."I guess a nobelman's daughter was kidnapped just the other day from what I've gathered."She nodded.

Kiba smirked now."We're your three guys to help then."He chuckled."With Mine and akamaru's noses and Shikamaru's intelligence,we're going to find that girl in no time flat."He nodded before taking a bite of his ramen.Akamaru barked proudly up at Sonta before digging into his bowl of ramen.

"well now that that's settled,we leave at midnight tonight."Sonta said with a bright smile."The ninja we're up against are from a very small village on the edge of the border between us and the Sand village.I think they're called the Solar ninjas.Most of their jutsus work only during the day so it be wise to strike at night,but their sister clan,the moonlight ninjas,are the only problem we have to face>Give you a guess what their jutsus are based on."She snickered.

Shikamaru looked up surprised. Kiba never said anything about his intelligence ever before which caught him off guard but he noticed and shut his mouth. "Why not strike at twilight?" He mumbled slightly. "That would make less of a chance for anyone to be on guard or out." he looked over at the woman waited for some type of answer when he finished his ramen putting the rest on the ground for Akamaru. He pet the puppy and scratched the back of his ear smiling at the dog.

"Well,if you pay attention to how far it is.It would take us about that long to get there."Sonta shrugged."Time is everything in this mission."She said lightly."They're threating to kill her if the nobleman can't pay ransom."She pointed out."So we're going to meet up at the western gate,alright?"

Akamaru looked up at him and barked happily as Shikamaru petted and scratched his ear.Kiba looked at Shikamaru and smiled a bit before shaking his head a bit."we'll be there,trust us."He said with a nod.

Sighing Shikamaru brought up the now empty bowl and looked at the two. "How Troublesome. Ya I'll be there." He sighed not wanting to move but knew he would need to if he wanted to take a shower and get things ready.

"Well,thats the best news I've heard all day."Sonta chuckled with a nod."See you guys at midnight then."She then got up,mock saluted them before heading off.Once around the corner,she stopped and looked at the book store with a soft smile before going in.On the front was a poster advertizing the release of the new Itchi-itchi novels.After a few minutes she walked out with a bag."Thankfully,I had this one of reserve.He would of never been back in time to get the last copy before they sold out."She chuckled to herself,glancing in the bag at the wrapped up book as she headed over to Kakashi's place to drop the wrapped book in his inbox before heading back to her home just outside of the hustle and bustle of the village.A home her parents had left her after they died,a huge home ment for two of their children to live in."If only they knew what had became of their youngest."She sighed softly as she admired the building for a minute before heading inside to prepare.

"I guess we have to get going to."Kiba said lightly before paying for the food."Now I know why Naruto always raved about this place."He chuckled before looking at Shikamaru."So,we'll see you tonight then,huh?"He asked as he stood up now.

Shikamaru looked up lazily at him. "Yea I guess." He then stood up slowly putting his hands behind his head and started walking off when he then turned around. "Put it on my tab I'll get it when I get back. Put Kiba's on it to." With that he left.

Kiba nodded before picking up Akamaru."Thanks,Shikamaru.I owe you one."He said with a smile before heading home,himself,to get ready.

(wanna skip to when they met up at the gate?I have a nice plot for this mission,^_^)

((SURE))

Grabbing his pack Shikamaru walked slowly to the gate. He was twenty minutes early so he decided to nap.

Sonta grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder.Light and small,perfect for this kind of mission.She looked at the time and thought it would be better if she took her time getting to the gate as she headed out.

Kiba looked at the time as he finished grabbing what he needed and packing it away in his sack."This should be enough,huh Amamkaru?"He asked looking at the puppy sitting on the bed.Akamaru barked as he wagged his tail."It is about time to head out anyway,don't want to be late,now."He picked up his bag as Akamaru jumped up ontp his shoulder and climbed into his jacket before they headed out.

Shikamaru was dreaming happily. He was sitting there watching Kiba and the others playing street hockey. Kiba on the shirtless'. Shikamaru couldn't help but smile as Kiba walked over to him and pull him off the ground and plant a big kiss on him before the game. After that Kiba's team won 10 to 4. Right when he was about to kiss kiba again he heard footsteps.

Kiba walked up to the gate before noticing Shikamaru off to the side sleeping.He smiled a bit,Shikamaru looked so peaceful sleeping like that,he couldn't help but imagine sleeping next to him.Akamaru barked a bit,getting Kiba's attention as Sonta walked up.

"I know I'm early,but I never thought you guys would beat me here so soon."Sonta chuckled as she stopped infront of Kiba.

Sighing and standing up Shikamaru stretched quietly. "What do you expect exactly?" He said shooting her a questioning look then popped his knuckles. "Troublesome woman....might as well leave now." He waited for some type of response.

"And here I thought,Naruto was the only arrogant genni."Sonta said looking over at Shikamaru with a patient look in her eyes and a content smirk."Here's hoping you're not as clumsy or troublesome as him."She chuckled as she walked towards the gate,that opened up for them.

Kiba raised an eyebrow at Shikamaru's remark before shaking his head and following after Sonta."look,he's not really that bad,just a little cranky if he doesn't get a full seventeen hours of sleep."He joked.

"I ddn't expect much,he is the striking resembulance to his father when he was younger."Sonta laughed."Lazy and smart at the same time.I still wonder how he puts up with his wife."She joked.

Shikamaru glared at the woman. "Troublesome!" He looked away and grabbed his stuff fallowing the two ninja not really paying attention to anything. "When are we attacking have you dicided?" He said thinking that she was still brewing over on it. He watched kiba smirking. He really loved how Kiba would unknowingly swing his hips making him even more attractive. Blushing he shook the thoughts away.
