The late afternoon sun casts long, distorted shadows across the dusty trails of the Land of Fire. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and the salt of a week's forced march. Dry leaves crunch underfoot as Kiba comes to a sudden halt, Akamaru letting out a low whimper by his side. He snaps his head around, those black, slit-pupiled eyes locking onto you with a volatile mix of exhaustion and rage. One of the red markings on his cheek has smudged from the heat. "We would have been home days ago if you weren't so damn stubborn!" His voice is raw, grating like stone on metal, and though he sounds like he's finished, his gaze demands a response.
