At this Sakura rolled her eyes, "I could have told you that just as easy. That's just common sense-- it's got nothing to do with your sense of smell or whatever. Here let me see." She sniffs the air for dramatic affect, "My senses are telling me he's getting miso ramen. See, I can do this too!"
When things returned to her once again, however, her confident air rolled away. Was it always this warm in here? Well yes of course but could it have gotten warmer? "Well, that's..." She swallowed, taking a casual sidestep that she knew Kiba would accept. "I've been his teammate for years and we've sparred too many times to keep track of. It's hard to avoid that stench, you know?" This was mostly true but in the back of her mind she remembered when they were just genin and Naruto's feet always ended up laying right on her face when they were camped out-- how whenever they would train Naruto would kick off his sandals and sit as close to her as possible. Sasuke always thought they were so weird. She never stood a chance and that scent would constantly haunt her.

"I could actually tell you what ramen he's getting with my senses, too. My sense of smell--not just the sense I get from knowing him well," Kiba argued, only slightly annoyed that she wasn't taking his sense of smell more seriously when it had just narrowed probably a hundred ointments down to two. "I guess your sense isn't terrible, but it's still not as accurate as mine!" he insisted, despite the fact that Naruto was, in fact, getting miso ramen. But she didn't need to know that. Clearly she was already too cocky in this field and he wasn't about to help her continue.
"I guess that's true," Kiba shrugged. "Obviously I haven't been on as many missions with him as you and I still know what you mean. I don't know if he's got terrible hygiene or he just naturally smells that terrible, but camping with him was terrible! I don't know why I didn't expect him to fart in his sleep," he sighed, shaking his head sadly before looking up to meet Sakura's eyes. "I'm still not sure how you knew which ointment it was without even taking a whiff of them to guarantee it was the right one unless you knew it smelled like Naruto's feet."

"Yeah, yeah," Sakura said plainly, waving him off with the back of her hand. She knew what a strong nose Kiba had and, admittedly, she was quite impressed most of the time. However she was not impressed that he was wasting it on something that could be easily solved with common knowledge and quick guesswork. Maybe it was because she didn't have any special skills or a bloodline jutsu that she felt this way, but it felt incredibly silly regardless of her reasoning.
"That is a mystery," she commented dryly, "granted it's improved over the years but it still gets to me. You'd think I'd be used to it by now." She shot him a side-eyed glare, "I thought we've established already that I know exactly what they smell like, can we move on with our lives?"

"Yeah, yeah," Kiba repeated, teasing her in turn and tilting his head to the side knowingly. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she'd come looking for a medicine that she knew to smell like Naruto's feet, and that was really all that mattered--even if he was going to let it slide for now. He knew, and she knew he knew, and that was enough. "Do you need the whole thing? Although, I don't really want you to open it to take what you need--it's strong enough smelling capped. What does it actually do, by the way?" he asked, wondering what sort of injury he had to avoid to keep from ever having to use the ointment himself.
"Oh," he frowned, suddenly realizing that now that she had the ointment, she'd probably be going, and Kiba and Akamaru would be back to napping in front of the fan until his mother confiscated it again. "So what did you need that for? Probably something at the hospital, huh--probably have to go deliver it and all now, right?"

"No, but it would make things easier if I could take it and return it later!" She said, already tucking the small jar away. "Oh, it's for an elderly patient of mine. She hasn't been eating very well, so hopefully this will help stimulate her appetite. Doesn't smell very stimulating though, does it?"
Her shifts at the hospital as of late had been very long and tiring and she jumped at any chance to make use of her time off. Going back to work on an off day didn't sound like much of a treat. "She's strong though-- she won't be needing me for at least a few hours if at all today. I guess that means I'm free for once!"

"Stimulate her appetite, huh? So it's wormwood then, right?" he asked, recognizing the scent now that she'd applied it's medicinal meaning to it. Hana had spent ages teaching him herbal remedies, insisting that if he couldn't do medical jutsu it was the next best thing, and she was right--it had saved him before when he'd had to stab himself on the mission for Sasuke. After that, he'd taken Hana's lessons a bit more seriously, and while he still wasn't anywhere near being a medic, he still knew enough to keep himself safe.
"Yeah?" Kiba asked, a bit eager to actually spend time with one of his friends for once instead of sleeping in front of a fan. "Well I'd have to see if I can fit you into my packed schedule of sleeping in front of a fan and being yelled at by my mom, but I think I can free up some time if you wanna do something," he laughed, smiling as Akamaru added an eager bark and nudged his face against Sakura's side.

"Yeah, that's right," Sakura responded, sounding a bit more chipper than she probably should have. It was nice talking to someone who had a clue about what you were saying. She wanted to ask if Hana had been teaching him a thing or two, but didn't in favor of the light conversation ahead.
"Oh, I didn't realize how busy you were. In that case I'd better get going," she said with a wave of her hand and a step in the direction of the door.

"No, no no," Kiba called out, taking a step with her as she moved closer to the door. "I clearly have nothing to do; I think at this point I'd be willing to go to the hospital with you and watch you rub wormwood ointment on an old woman. Okay, no, on second thought, I wouldn't--that's... gross." He frowned, growing distracted by the undesirable mental image he'd accidentally provided himself.
"But," he recovered, looking up at Sakura again. "I'd be willing to do whatever else? It's so hot in my house, Sakura, my mom has turned the fan into a motivational tool to get me out of the house and it's only a matter of time before she takes it away again."

"Yeah, that is pretty gross," she laughed at the mental image of Kiba staring intently at her while she tended to her patient, covering his nose all the while. And yet he was unable to leave because this was the only thing really going for him today. Considering that however, Sakura felt a small sense of responsibility for how the rest of his day would go.
She thought about it for a moment, her features contorting as she sorted through her mental map of the village. "Since it's so hot out maybe we could go to the river?" The growling of her stomach interrupted her train of thought. "And... maybe get something to eat..."

"Yeah," he grimaced, leading her back out of Hana's room and closing the door behind him--there as no point trying to make it look like they hadn't snooped there. If Hana returned from her mission soon enough, she'd be able to smell their presence, and trying to pretend otherwise would only get Kiba in more trouble. His sister may have been sharp-mouthed, but she wasn't as unreasonable as his mother was--he was sure that if he explained why he'd been there, she would be fine with it. If not, there wasn't much he could really do about it. He tried.
"Food sounds good," Kiba replied, chuckling at the sound of her stomach grumbling, although he definitely couldn't say he wasn't hungry as well. Tsume tended to monopolize the fridge, and the consequences of eating her food were just as bad as one would expect. "And with this heat, the river sounds amazing," Kiba added signalling for Akamaru to follow him as he lead them out of the house. "Mom! I'm going out!" he called over his shoulder, rolling his eyes as she delivered a snappy reply and closing the door behind him before offering a sheepish smile. "What first, food or river?"

Before following Kiba out of the room she put the ointment into her weapons pouch. It would be too troublesome to carry it around when they were supposed to be having a fun day out. He hadn't gone far, so it wasn't a challenge to find him once she had everything put away and ready to go.
"Yeah!" She agreed to the suggestion as she followed him to the entryway. When Kiba called to his mom then, Sakura snorted a laugh to herself when she called back to him. She couldn't help but think the way they interacted was hilarious and felt rather privileged to be witnessing it off to the side. Were she in the middle of things she wouldn't be laughing quite so much. It also seemed like she wouldn't be laughing so much when her stomach growled once again. Her features sunk as she looked away, "I think... food would be a good idea."

"Food it is," Kiba agreed, plenty content with the idea of getting a meal to fill his stomach, though grateful it wasn't as loud and impatient as Sakura's. It was a little less amusing when he thought back to how she'd been when she'd first shown up at his, how quickly she'd guzzled down the water he'd passed her. She must have been working herself to the bone at the hospital if she wasn't even drinking properly; Kiba wouldn't skimp out on cheap food.
"Where do you want to go?" he offered, leading them back away from his house and to the street, given that his home was a bit of a walk from the hustle and bustle of the village. "I'm good with whatever you want," he added, though if she tried to pick something that wasn't gonna fill her up, he'd be sure to interject.

Sakura ran through her mental map of the village, sorting through what was appealing and what wasn't. Honestly there wasn't a whole lot that she would pass up at this moment. It worried her a little how hungry she was-- and when was the last time she ate an actual meal? Finally she settled on a name that made her mouth water at the thought.
"We should go to--" She started to say it, but pressed her lips together in that same instant. What if it was too expensive? Maybe she should think of something else. Not that the place she had in mind was the priciest place in town, but it was enough to make one consider whether or not they really wanted to go. She peered away from him, "Whatever I want, huh?"

Kiba frowned at Sakura, unsure why she'd started a sentence only to stop it again. He might be able to smell people and find them from miles away, but tragically, the Inuzuka clan had yet to figure out how to go about reading minds. He had no idea what Sakura was even attempting to say anymore, but he wasn't about to start guessing to figure it out.
"Yeah, whatever you want, that's what I said," he affirmed, squinting at her uncertainly. Why would she even say it like that unless what she wanted was something terrible? He hoped she wasn't gonna drag him out for something gross, but to be honest, nothing excruciatingly gross even came to mind. He'd just have to trust her, he supposed. "What do you have in mind...?"

She was still looking away from him, mulling it over in her head. It couldn't hurt to just suggest it, right? Of course it wouldn't. If anything she could take it back and say she was joking. Swallowing her doubt, she responded, "Well, barbecue sounds pretty good..." Her gaze moved over to his feet, "Yakiniku is a pretty good place..."
This was it. Make it or break it time.
