Third Person's POV

Ashley blinks a few times, allowing her eyes to adjust to the light as she stares straight ahead, brows furrowed. She slowly leans forwards, one hand carefully touching her cheek, fingertips just below her eye. She tilts her head from side to side, watching as her long blonde hair tumbles over her shoulder.

Kiba stands behind the girl, watching in faint amusement as Ashley really studies herself in the mirror, acting as though she doesn't recognise the person she sees before her.

“I don't remember myself being so pale” Ashley eventually sighs, briefly closing her eyes and sighing as she straightens up. “I look like a ghost....”

Kiba can't help laughing at this, to which Ashley's fuchsia eyes pop back open and she glances at the Inuzuka in her mirror, watching him intently.

“You've always been that pale” Kiba chuckles, reaching up and running a hand through his hair as he sends Ashley an affectionate grin. “You look pretty like that though, kinda like a doll or something.”

Ashley's smirks at that, to which Kiba shrugs and shoves his hands in his pockets. He watches silently as the blonde girl slowly turns around and walks over to him, her head tilted back slightly to stare at Kiba's face. She says nothing, though her eyes run over the Inuzuka quickly, as if searching for something.

“What's up?” Kiba asks, holding back another laugh. His entertainment soon fades however, as Ashley's now half lidded eyes flick back up to his face, sparkling. She smiles warmly at Kiba and suddenly wraps her arms around his waist, almost knocking the tall male over. He flails his arms in a panic for a moment, trying to regain his balance as Ashley closes her eyes and begins to laugh cutely.

“I'm just happy I can see you again!” she chirps, sending Kiba a closed eye grin. “My eyes are getting better every day now!”

“........” Kiba blinks, before hooding his eyes and smiling down at Ashley, placing one hand under her chin to tilt the girl's head up. “I'm glad I get to see your eyes again. They're beautiful.”

The blonde's eyes widen a little, blushing as she hurriedly steps back from Kiba and crosses her arms. She scowls adorably, pretending to be unimpressed with the male's compliment.

“They're my Mother's” Ashley mutters, glancing at Kiba from the corner of her eyes. “Of course they're nice.”

“And there's that Uchiha arrogance I just love too” Kiba scoffs, playfully rolling his eyes as Ashley jabs a hand in his directions.

“Hey, you're not an Uchiha” she states flatly, “So what's your excuse?”

“I'm not arrogant” Kiba corrects, raising an eyebrow at Ashley. “I'm awesome and I know it. It's called confidence Angel.”

“Darling” Aki croons, poking his head into the room, sapphire eyes glistening, “I don't mean to intrude, but I couldn't help overhearing the sound of you sidestepping a compliment. Do you not realise that compliments lead to other things?”

Kiba and Ashley both send Aki deadpan looks, to which the Wolf responds with a dazzling closed eye smile.

“Just get to the lounge and make sure Tiez isn't harassing Akamaru” Ashley commands bluntly, to which Aki's smile fades and his eyes open, though they remain hooded. He turns his head, ears laying back.
