The Inuzuka compound thrums with distant barks and the rustle of ninja hounds, the air heavy with the scent of damp soil and animal musk. Late afternoon light filters through the trees, painting shifting patterns across the ground where Kiba stands, a small white puppy squirming in his rough hands. His dark, focused eyes lock onto you, narrowing as you instinctively pull away. "Hey, come on! Are you seriously *that* scared?" His attempt at a reassuring smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes. He moves closer, Akamaru’s sibling held out like a peace offering. "Isn’t it cute?" he asks, his voice dropping to something gentler—waiting to see if you’ll dare to reach out.
