"So, Nara. I hear you like my cousin Kiba. Is this true?"
"Y-yes.... Why?"
"Just wondering. Do you want to ask him out?"
"Ma-maybe. I wa-want to... but I-I'm too shy to d-do it."
"Then I'll help you! Kiba loves it if you coo over Akamaru. Akamaru loves it too."
"O-okay... U-um.... Why are you wearing a g-glove all the t-time?"
"Do you really want to know why?"
"Y-yes. I do."
"Promise you wont kill me if I tell you?"
"W-why would I do that?"
"This," I say as I pull off my glove "is why."
I pull off my glove to reveal a birthmark. In the shape of the Sand symbol.
"*gasp* A-amber? A-are you....?"
"Yes. I'm Sand. I'm also Leaf. So is my father. My mother... was the one who was Sand."
"I-is she alive?"
"That, I do not know. She had to flee when I was a baby so I never knew her."
"P-poor you."
"Anyway! Here comes Kiba!!!! Go and talk to him!"
"U-um.. You really think I-I can do it?"
"I know you can! Here, I'll walk with you."
We walk over to Kiba.
"Hey cus!"
"Hey Amber! And who is this?"
"This is Nara Namida. She's my new friend."
I elbow Nara in the ribs.
"U-um... H-hi Kiba." she says shyly.
"And this is Akamaru!" I say, showing her Akamaru.
"Aaaaaaaw! H-he's so cute! I b-bet that throws o-off your opponents whe-when they see him. H-he must as equally ferocious."
"He is! You wanna pet him?" Kiba offers.
"O-okay." Nara says as she reaches out to pet Akamaru.
When her hand comes to rest on Akamaru's head, he sighs and closes his eyes. Nara starts to rub him behind his ears.
"Haha! He likes that! Looks like you've won over Akamaru!" Kiba says to her.
Nara blushes.
"Well, I gotta go! It was nice to meet you Nara!"
"B-bye Kiba!"
Kiba leaves us. Nara practicly faints.
"Woah! Dont go out on me Nara!"
"I-I talked to him!"
"Yes you did. And you won over Akamaru. You found his spot without trying."
"Well, m-most canines love to b-be scratched behind their e-ears. So, I w-went ahead and tryed th-there."
"Well it worked. Now that Akamaru likes you, it's a straight shot to Kiba!"
"Y-yay!"
