Blood or Love?

Chapter 3- First Friend

(Kiba POV)

"So why are we going there?" I asked Akuma. "Special reasons...." Akuma replied, looking slightly embarrassed.

'Is she thinking about what I did earlier...? My body moved on its own...' I thought, calling myself names mentally.

Akamaru whined. "What?" I almost shouted. Akuma looked at both of us. "Whats wrong?" "Akamaru said thats he's just really tired..." I replied, lying.

Akuma nodded in understanding as Akamaru yawned to play along. I felt bad for lying since I had just earned her trust, but I didn't want her thinking that we were using her or collecting intellect about her for the Hokage....Which we were actually doing...

Flashback....

Kiba, I'm giving you a mission. The Third Hokage said. "Yes?" "You know that girl...Akuma Hatake? The Bloodthirsty Demon?"

A chill went down my spine. "Y-Yes..." "Kiba, I want you to spy or befriend her...Just for a little while. And gather intel for us. This mission is secret-You shall tell nobody. I trust you will give me some information before this day ends..." the Third Hokage said, leaning back on his chair.

I nodded. "And bring Akamaru with you. I've heard that he can sense the amount of ninja's chakra." "Yes, that is correct."

The Third Hokage was silent for a while. "Kiba, I know everyone fears her, but I know you can do this mission...Though you also feel the same..." I nodded slowly.

"But I have a feeling you will succeed...Now go, we're wasting precious time" the Third Hokage dismissied me.

"I will do my best, Lord Hokage" I replied as I walked out of his office and closed the door.

'Why me...?'

End of Flashback...

'Her chakra is the same amount as the Kazekage- Gaara of the Sand. Amazing.'

"Hey, Kiba...." Akuma started to say. "Yeah?" "Just thought you should know but...You're actually my first friend" she said.

I felt guiltly now, but I wasn't surprised. "Really?"

She nodded. "I'm getting soft" I heard her mutter.

'Why does the Third Hokage want intellect about her anyway?' I couldn't seem to answer that question.

I saw the forest turn into a dessert the closer we were to the sand village.

The wind was calm, thankfully, and the sand crunched under our feet. We were silent, as I eyed Akuma, trying to read her, to see her reactions to anything.

'She looks like Kakashi' and that was it. She was pretty hard to read. Her face remained emotionless as she carried her sword in her hand.

'Looks like she doesn't like being seperated from her sword...' I also concluded.

"Akuma, how did you get that sword?" I asked her. She seemed to flinch. "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to" she replied coldly.

'...I might even like my mission. She's full of mysteries.'

(AU: I know it takes at least three days from Leaf to sand, but I dont't want to write any extra chapters)

We came across the gates of the Sand Village. " You can go now..." Akuma ordered. "But-""I insist!" she spat.

"Alright, see you later?" I asked. She didn't reply. 'Already so cold hearted. Damn...' I thought as I walked away.

Akamaru whined "I know, we still gotta follow her. I have a idea, dont worry."

I'm sorry I had Kiba turn from: No intention to spy on Akuma to A spy on the Demon, but I didn't like my old idea. He had no real purpose to follow her in my old idea.
