Chapter Text
You were pissed, you were hot, you were bothered. Around twice a year, you went into heat because apparently being a dog user with dog related justu was enough to make the whole Inuzuka clan go into heat.
"Fucking hell" you whimpered into your pillow while you tossed and turned in your bed. It was the late afternoon, and of course your heat starts acting up.
"Hey get out of bed already, we have to meet up with everyone soon-" Kiba, your twin brother, walks into your room. However, his voice quickly trails off after taking in your scent, your "in heat" scent that was very prominent among the clan when one was in heat. It altered your scent completely. "Woah hey what the hell"
"Shut up, I know" you groaned, pulling at the edge of your pillow in discomfort.
"I don't think you're going to be able to hang out today" Kiba says, you just shoot a glare at him.
"I'm going."
"We're going to the fucking bathhouse, how much of a good idea do you think it is to go to a public bath while you're in heat??"
"It's not like it's a mixed bath" You pout, crossing your arms as you sit up in the criss-cross leg position. Kiba rubs his eyes in frustration, seeing that you're not going to budge.
"Fine, whatever" he says after moments of silence and with that he walks straight out of your room so you can get ready. You dress in your usual outfit, your ninja under-shirt with a light grey shirt over it and you left your zip up dark grey jacket open. Then your usual black pants.
You look in the mirror, taking in your appearance as you run a finger down the red marks on your cheeks. "At least I don't look like shit" You take your meds, which are prescribed by Princess Tsunade herself to help with your heats, then you walk out to meet Kiba so you can both meet up with your friends.
____________________
There was more people than you thought would be coming, but it was still a nice group of friends. Neji, Naruto, Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, and Shino were there, along with Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten.
You began to quicken your pace to catch up with Kiba, who had picked up his pace to meet the group sooner. You felt a slight pang in your stomach, and a heat ran through your body. Were your meds even working?
Kiba noticed you slow down a bit, shooting you a look and you could tell what he was trying to signal at. Did you forget to take your meds? Are you sure it's going to be ok?
You shoot him a cocky look, along with a scoff to go with it. Yes I did take then, of course I'm going to be fine.
He rolls his eyes. Whatever you say.
The group walks into the baths, separating into their respective baths and get undressed to start cleaning up and relaxing.
"It's nice to be able to hang out like this every once in a while" Ino says, slipping her skirt off.
"For sure, especially being able to have more girls time like this" Sakura chimes in as she wraps her towel around her.
You all nod in agreement, making your way to wash up and soak up in the warm bath. You had all never had too much freetime. You were all just 15 years old, yet had been loaded with work and such. Tsunade knew how to keep everyone on their toes.
"This feels amazing on the muscles, so good for tense muscles" Tenten sighs, Sakura and Ino laugh.
"You sound like an old man" Ino pipes, and Tenten just laughs. Hinata was busy trying to keep her abnormally large cleavage from floating up, and you were busy trying to concentrate on the conversation. It was hard trying to concentrate when your body was so hot and uncomfortable.
The conversation continues, and you lost track of where the talking was going until you heard your name.
"Isn't it kind of obvious that Y/n likes Shino though?" You perk your head at Sakura, who had been the one to say that.
"Wh-what" your face flushes red, red with embarrassment.
"Well you kind of are obvious about it" Hinata chimes in and you can feel the room getting hotter.
"I…" You trailed off, not really sure how to respond. You did like Shino, you had liked him for a while now.
"Do tell" Ino says, and all the girls have their eye on you now.
"We're all women here, it's alright" Tenten encourages, smirking a bit, "I promise this will be our little secret"
"I m-mean I do…" You trailed off again, and you could feel your heart ache a bit. You weren't sure if it was because you were thinking about Shino or because of your heat.
"ooo" they all say, and you just playfully splash water towards then as you all laugh.
"Th-that being said, I don't really think anything will happen" You nervously force a laugh, picking at the sides of your nails as you keep your gaze down.
"Why not?" Tenten asks.
"I think he likes you" Sakura adds, and Ino nods along.
"I think so too, he always looks at you so… alluringly" Ino says. You can feel yourself blushing, thinking about all the time you and Shino had made eye contact and all the interactions you had during missions.
"One time when we were on a mission, you were laughing and telling us stories and he-" Hinata starts talking about signs she's seen during missions. You try to focus on her voice but your body tunes out all the noise around you. Your body feels hot, your sex is dripping, and not from the water. The only thing in the air right now is arousal, and talking about Shino was not helping your situation at all.
Was it your meds? You were sure you took them, but they weren't helping for some reason. Did you even take the right medication?
You think back to when you popped the pill in your mouth, the color of it was… white.
Oh shit… white was definitely not the right pill. Yours were blue. White was a painkiller, which would do absolutely nothing to help you during your heat.
Your eyes were droopy, and your breathing became labored. All of the sudden, everything became blurry and you couldn't hear anything, everything was muffled. You heard the girls should your name a few times, and you tried to respond, you couldn't.
On the other side of the wall, was the boys side. Kiba was enjoying his bath listening to Lee rant about his recent training. The girls side was getting louder, which was weird because usually it was the boys side that was getting rowdy. Maybe they were having typical girl talk.
"It's getting rowdy over there" Neji says, and the boys go a bit quiet to listen to whats going on. They sound distressed, and it doesn't hit Kiba until he hears his twin sister's name being repeated over and over again in a frantic manner, along with distressed talk among the girls.
"Why is she breathing so heavily?"
"I think she's hyperventilating"
"Her whole body is trembling, look how red her skin is"
"Holy- she's burning up… I think it's a fever" It finally hit Kiba. Only he knew it wasn't a fever, her heat was acting up.
"Fuck" Kiba said frantically, almost jumping out of the water as he wrapped the towel around his waist.
"Kiba? What's wrong?" Naruto asks, now all of the boys were looking at him.
"I knew she didn't take them" He was talking frantically, running into the changing room to dig through his stuff.
"It sounds like she just has a fever, Sakura's over there so she'll take care of her" Lee says as they all follow him in concern, and Kiba almost loses it right there.
"It's not a fucking fever," He can't find his pills, he always carries them with him. He must have forgotten them, which is horrible because he never forgets them.
"What's wrong?" Shikamaru asks.
"She's in heat" He finally says, and the boys are a little stunned.
"Heat?" Naruto asks.
"It makes sense," Shino says, and Naruto looks at him confused, "reason being the whole Inuzuka clan takes on many shared traits with dogs so of course experiencing heats would be expected"
"I don't need to hear any of your smart ass comments right now" Kiba is throwing on his clothes, and so is everyone else because they've become worried for him and you.
When Kiba steps outside of the changing room, you're leaning against the wall on the ground with the girls surrounding you. Yours eyes are glazed over, breathing abnormally, it made sense why the girls thought you had come down with a fever.
"Kiba- do you have any with you" you say weakly.
"I don't, I'll take you home and you can take it there" you just let out a frustrated groan.
"Is she going to be ok? I have something that might help…" Sakura asks, her medical ninja instincts kicking in.
"She'll be fine, I think we're done for the day" Kiba says while placing one of your arms over his shoulder, helping to prop you up, "We can't join you guys for barbeque, but have fun" Kiba smiles, then takes you home so you can take the proper pill for your heats.
____________________
"That was fucking humiliating" you say to Kiba. You both are in the kitchen, a glass of water in front of you as Kiba sits in front of you waiting for his instant ramen to warm up.
"You need to be more careful, I cannot believe you took WHITE painkillers-"
"-on accident"
"-instead of your BLUE hormone controllers" Kiba is a little frustrated right now, and so are you.
Last time you felt this shitty during a heat was the first time you had a heat, which was when you were 12. You had started to feel feverish during a mission, and it triggered Kiba's first heat as well. Kurenai Sensei sent you both home, informed your mother about the incident, and your mother immediately knew what was happening.
That was also the last time you felt so humiliated during your heat.
"Did anything trigger it? Like the hot water or like something that came up conversation?" Kiba asks, and you just shrug, "cause you looked shittier than usual. I don't think it was a 'normal' heat" you try to think back to the conversations you had with the girls. It started with how hot and stuffy the bath house was. You were talking about how much work Tsunade likes to pile on everyone, then the conversation shifted to…
"Shino" you say out loud, biting the sides of your nail while deep in thought.
"Shino?" you immediately regret what you just said. Your face flushes crimson, cheeks burning up with embarrassment. You move your head to lay in your propped hands, covering your whole face.
"Forget it"
"No no, I want to hear this. What about Shino?" Kiba pokes at your head, and you can almost see the childish grin on his face.
This is humiliating.
"We were… talking about h-him"
"And…?" Could Kiba ever take a fucking hint?
"And how I… how I l-like him" God, this was so embarrassing.
"So you finally admit it" You look up at him from your hands, Goddammit that stupid smug look on his face. "I kinda figured, but never would I think in a million years that you would tell anyone"
"The girls kinda got it out of me" Kiba lets out a satisfied hum, and it makes you want to decapitate him at the moment. "You can't tell-"
"I won't tell Shino, jeez, have a little faith in the amount of respect I have for you. I'm not a douche"
"Sometimes you are" you laugh, and Kiba just starts laughing too.
"Yea I sometimes am"
Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. You both look at each other, then Kiba stands up to check whos at the door. He rounds the corner, you see the shadow of the door opening.
"What's up, Shino?" Oh my god.
"I'm here to check on Y/n, reason being-" you smile to yourself.
"Yea yea who cares about the reason" Kiba interrupts him, and you can almost see the discontent look on Shino's face. "I was just about to go on a walk so why don't you go walk on in? She's in the kitchen" Yea right he was about to go on a walk, that fucking bastard. You hear Kiba slip his shoes on, and the door closes behind him within seconds.
Shino rounds the corner, walking into the kitchen to take a seat next to you at the table. He sits down, and it's dead silent for moments before he starts speaking.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine, just a little warm" He nods in response to you, god why was he so awkward?
"Glad you're doing better, is there anything I can do to help?" You think for a moment.
"Not really, I have medication but thats about it. I mean- actually nevermind" You were about to continue, but decided to stop due to how embarrassing the 2nd solution was.
"Is there another way? You seem to have an idea"
"W-well there is another way… b-but it's not very practical" Your face starts to flush red again and you begin to pick at the sides of your nails again. "You can't really help me with it"
"I'm sure I can accommodate"
"N-no you can't" you're starting to get nervous, why was he so persistent?
"My insects are sensing your discomfort, you need to tell me how I can help you" Goddammit, him and his stupid bugs.
"Well the other way is uhm…" you clear your throat, directing your gaze away from him, "intercourse… b-but that's not…" your voice trails off and for what seems like hours is a painful silence.
The light flickers a bit and it's not till a forever later that you hear him clear his throat.
"Would you be opposed to that solution?" his deep, baritone voice is clear, there's no mistaking what he just offered. "That is, my assistance?"
