Prolouge - Trust In You

It had been along time now...since everything had happened after Orochimaru invaded...The land was in pure desolation and the Third Hokage was dead...No one ever smiled and everyone held back tears of pain. In a world that is ruined...how could anyone ever find love...between hate and pure pain...how could they...

Kiba rose up from his bed with a yawn. Looking out the window he gave a faint smile. The days had been long lately, helping the town be re-built. But he didn't care, he always had Akamaru to keep him company. The ninja looked into his heavy coat and saw Akamaru curled up into him, just as he thought. With weary steps, he made his way to the kitchen. It was empty...the war had taken his mother...

Shino carefully stood from his table. No one around but his small friends. He held his finger out and a tiny insect landed onto his nail. The lonliness would be crushing without them...anyone could see his pain...even through his over clothed body...

With a giant step, the two ninjas left their different homes, similar in the fact only that they were empty... They left to go help their fallen village. To maybe just make everything okay, like it used to... That's when the two ninjas first really noticed each other. They were helping move boards over to a requested location...when it happened...

Shino lifted a long board into the air and then turned, accidently smacking Kiba. Smacking him dead on in the nose. The dog ninja stepped back in pain as blood ran down his cheeck. Shino dropped the board and walked over to him. "I'm sorry..." explained Shino sadly. Kiba nodded and then moved close to him.

The boy had never noticed...how innocent Kiba looked. It had occured to him that, many ninja lost family, but Kiba had nothing...no one but his small dog. Shino was standing closer now. Kiba stepped into his arms. They both knew that they were lonely...the death count had been publicly announced...their parents...marked on the K.I.A stone, with great honor...

Kiba looked down at Shino, holding him between his arms gently. Then tears ran down his cheecks. They both knew what to do...to make the pain go away...
