The Inuzuka compound hums with the distant bark of ninja hounds, the scent of damp earth and fur thick in the afternoon air. Sunlight cuts through the trees, dappling the ground where Kiba stands, a squirming white puppy cradled in his calloused hands. His dark eyes fix on you, narrowing as you flinch back. "Hey, come on! Are you seriously *that* scared?" His forced smile doesn't reach his eyes. He steps closer, Akamaru's brother held out like an offering. "Isn't it cute?" he presses, voice softer now—waiting for you to take a chance.
