Shino stood, wincing. He brushed off his pants and shook his head in Kankurou's general direction, "He's not up yet. I got it, though." he walked over to Kiba and pulled him off of the couch. This was the test of Kiba's floor. Was it really that hard or were his knees just weak? He knew it was mean to pull Kiba off of the couch, but, it was one of the last things he could think of. He had another thing in mind, but, he didn't want Kankurou going anywhere near Kiba or the other way around. At least, not until he himself was done sorting out his own thoughts and emotions.
He let Kiba fall, but, he didn't let him fall at an angle that could hurt him, "If he wakes up, let me know. I have to change." Shino knew that Kiba had made his costume for him. He kept on calling and giving progress reports. Every five minutes even. Shino walked into Kiba's room and opened the other teens closet. He reached up to pull down the bag with his things in it when he accidentally pulled down a box with it. It came tumbling down on him, it's contents showering down. By the time the box got to Shino's head, it was empty. Shino sighed and dropped to the floor. He took the box off of his head to see a lot of pictures littering the floor.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of them and started sorting through them. He recognized almost all of them immediately. Various birthday pictures and such. He looked through more of them until he found one he hadn't seen before. He remembered Kiba jeering at him because there was one picture that he only made one copy of and he wouldn't let Shino see. Being the seven year old that he was, he was far too curious for his own good. But now, here it was in his hands. Shino looked at the picture. It was Kiba, Kankurou and himself. Now, Kankurou hadn't always acted so uncomfortable around Shino. He guessed that this was a time when he wouldn't fidget or go into another room whenever Shino came anywhere near him. He should have been used to it, but, it still stung.
Kiba was in the middle of the three of them, his arms wrapped around Shino and Kankurou's shoulders. A huge smile was on his face and...so was a small blush. Shino was on his left side looking slightly uncomfortable, but, he was giving a little smile. He had been the camera shy little boy who tried to hide from the camera. Kiba always found his ways to capture the other on film, though. And to the right of Kiba was Kankurou, grinning a little. His hand was on top of Kiba's head. From the look of it, Kiba was about to get a noogy. The three of them looked comfortable and content, yet, there was something not quite right about the picture. Some sort of off feeling about it all. Shino couldn't put his finger on it. He stared at the picture, trying to figure out what was wrong.

Kankuro sighed and watched Shino leave the room, then went and sat on the couch, carefully avoiding the fallen Kiba. He was tempted to rub his eyes, but then it would ruin his face paint, and that would just be plain annoying. He'd probably have to start it all over again. Eyeing Kiba a moment, he snagged the remote from the nearby vicinity of the floor and flipped the television on. He was really wondering how long Kiba was planning on being asleep...

Deidara grinned, flexing his hand. "Not at all, un! It stopped hurting a while ago!" He pushed his books back into his bag, laid down on the bed, and grabbed Gaara, pulling his down in a hug. Smirking, he kissed the smaller boy's forehead, and held him tightly before falling asleep.
Deidara woke up early the next morning, blue eyes flitting open sleepily. He sat up carefully, so as to not wake the sleeping redhead, and slid off the bed. Grabbing a plain pair of black pants, a fishnet shirt and a black shirt, he quickly dressed, and tugged on his sandals and those weird white leg warmer things Naruto had decided to give his character. Five minutes later, he was in front of the bathroom mirror, attemping to apply a layer of eyeliner. Hell, how did girls do this every morning? The blonde fussed with his hair until he managed to get it into that odd ponytail thing. He checked his nails (painted the night before) to make sure the dark purple nail polish hadn't chipped, and went back to find Gaara still slipping. Grinning, Deidara shook his shoulder. "Gaara-chan, get up, un! Or Temari-neechan's gonna have to beat you awake with that giant fan of hers, un! I saw it, it's scary..."
((Dark purple nail polish is the awesomeness XD I get it from Hot Topic and my nails are always painted like that. All Hail Akatsuki!! Plus I usually wear my hair in Dei's style too ^^ Though I have yet to wear my Akatsuki cloak to school, unless you count Hallowween...))

((Sorry guys. Mom was all making me tell her all about my day at school. And Dark that was low and mean! Very low and mean! Never ever ever ever (ever!) bring Jenjen into something like this again! Ever!!!))
Kiba groaned and slowly sat up. "oww..." he mubbled, rubbing his back. "What time is it?" He asked the other boy but before Knakuro could answer Kiba saw a clock and nearly balked. "Oh s**t!!" He stod up and ran upstairs to his room grabbed a few things from his desk and ran to the bathroom, not notceing Shino. He quickly changed and put on the face paint. He went into his sister's room to find his puppy and grinned at the dog who was trying to figt a teddy bear. "Come on Akamaru."
He walked back out and back to his room. "Shino? What are you looking at?" When he saw he paled slightly. "Hey! Didn't I say you couldn't look at that. That was my picture that was just for me!" He grabbed and folded it in half, right over his face. "Come on. Let's go."

Kankuro blinked as Kiba got up, and shot off like a bullet. Standing, he folded the blanket that was still on the floor and rested it on the couch, then turned the TV off. "I'll meet you guys outside!" he called into the hallway, then went and grabbed his stuff by the door and exited the building.
Yawning, Kankuro stood by the door, waiting for the duo inside to finish up. He then spotted someone that looked familiar, yet different... "Oi, Haku! Is that your costume?" Kankuro shouted to the boy nearing him.
"Yeah. I see you are wearing yours." Haku replied, slowing to a stop as he got in front of Kankuro. "And you even got face paint. Impressive." he smiled slightly as he looked around them, then at Kiba's door. "Did you stay the night at...?" He inquired, recognising the address.
"Yeah. They made my costume for me, too." Kankuro replied, leaning against the front door to Kiba's house, not thinking that when someone opened the door, he would fall backwords...
"Newtons Law." Haku mumbled before someone did open the door, and wound up unbalancing Kankuro. He watched as the boy fell to the floor, and gave a slight smile.

Kiba blinked at the other boy on him. "Hey! Kan-kitty! Get offa me! You almost kill my puppy!" he pushed the other off and looked up. He eyes, grew wide. "Oh! Hey Haku! Nice costume. Hurry up SHino or you aren't geting breakfast!"

Kankuro blushed slightly as he had landed on Kiba. "Sorry.." He muttered as Kiba pushed him off of him.
"Thanks." Haku said, then offered his hands to both teens still on the ground. "Nice costume, yourself." He then said as he saw Kiba's costume more clearly. Helping the pair up, he looked at Akamaru. "What's his name?" He asked, bending down to pet the pup. "Or did you name him after the one Naruto drew for your character?" He looked up at Kiba.

"His name is Akamaru but the only reason he's named after the one in Naruto's manga is cause that idiot heard me telling NIna that I was going to name my first dog Akamaru. And he stole it." Kiba pouted but pet the dog in his arms. "Come on Kankuro. I need something to eat. We can go down the block and spilt something. Do you want anything Haku? Shino and his lazyself wil have to buy his own thing. And he can lock up."

"I see..." Haku murmered. "No, thanks. I ate before I left." Haku replied about the food. "You're bringing Akamaru to school? Good luck with keeping him there, if Iruka-sensei is in, today." He said. "Oh... and Orochimaru-sensei might feed him to his snake, if you get on his bad side..." His eyes shifted to the corners in thought as he listed some things off on his fingers. "And Kakashi-sensei might bring his dog, as well... Does Akamaru like other dogs?" He looked back to Kiba and the pup in question.
Just like Haku to think of all the disturbing problems anything might have... Kankuro thought, shoving his hands into his pocket. "Hey, Haku. Is Zabuza-san going to be dressing up today?" he asked, a bit curious if the adult was even still into dressing up on halloween.
"Well, I made him his costume... and he took it, so i'm hoping he will." Haku replied.

Shino heard the others talking. He quickly pulled off his clothes from the day before and pulled on his costume. He shoved the pictures back in the box and dashed down the stairs. Once outside, he shoved his hands in his pockets, "So, you were gonna ditch me, huh?" He sounded like he was just messing with the other guys, but, inwardly he was hurt that Kiba even considered leaving without him.

Kiba pouted. "You were taking sooooooolong. NAd I'm in major need of food." Kiba blinked and seemed to think about that for a second. "But not too much. Just a little. And I won't let anyone do anything to Akamaru! So stop saying stuff like that." He started to walk away after making sure he had closed and locked his door. He shrugged when he remembered all he had with him was a pen and his keys. Oh well. "Come on guys."

Shino reached out and grabbed Kiba's arm. He pulled him forward so he was just out of hearing range if he were whispering, "Kiba, you need to stop starving yourself. Why are you doing this?" Even though his eyes weren't visible, the concern in his voice could be heard.
(( I have to eat dinner. I'll be back soon.))

Kankuro wondered if the people at wherever Kiba was leading them to for food was even going to accept a bunch of weirdly-dressed boys into their shop, as he and Haku walked a little ahead from the two talking boys. "Mommy, look at that fat kid!" A little boy was heard shouting from across the street, and Kankuro froze. Fat? He didnt look across the street to see who said it, beacause that would only cause him to freak out the entire day. Instead, he looked down at himself, with a bit of a confused expression. It was a bit unnerving for him, as he truely couldnt see his toes. Nevermind the bag blocking the way, but that wasnt bothering him. What was bothering him was that it seemed the clothes he wore under the costume had bunched up somehow, and made him look like he'd gained several pounds over the course of the night. Or was that the Pizza? Kankuro remained staring down at what he could see of the ground with a sweatdrop expression. Was he really getting fat?
Haku chose to only smile slightly at the little boy's comment, and Kankuro's reaction. He stopped walking and stood next to the taller boy, with a look of interest, rather then pity. He waited, and wondered what the others' reaction would be to Kankuro's sudden examination of his weight...
((poor Kanky.... xD ))

Kiba glanced over to the dark haired boy next to him. He pulled his arm out of the other's hold. "What are you talking about? I'm not doing anything." He quickly glanced around and smiled. "Look, there's a coffeshop we can eat at." He turned around. "Come on Kan-kitty!" With that he dashed off to the shop across the street.

Shino frowned and walked forward. He put a hand on Kankurou's shoulder, "You aren't fat, Kankurou. Don't listen to the little brat. He's got more weight on him then you do." Why was Kiba acting like this? He never had kept anything from Shino. This only shoved Shino deeper into the depression that was forming behind his perfect mask. Did Kiba not trust him any longer? Did he feel like Shino was butting in? Or, had he been replaced? Each thought stung more than the last as he listed them in his mind.
