Disclaimer: I do not own the Anime/Manga Naruto. If I did... well... Sasuke wouldn't be so emo, Sakura wouldn't be so useless, There would be a lot more Itachi and killing, and Naruto would have a better catch-phrase than "Believe it!" in the English version. Not sure what it would be though. ;; Oh, and SonGoten760111 would be the voice of Naruto for the English version. nod nod

Anyways, this is my first FanFict... so yeah. It's going to be a Sasuke and Hinata FanFict (stupid, I know. But there aren't a lot of good Sasuke/Hinata ficts, so I thought I'd make one). Sorry if it sucks or whatever. I really enjoyed writing this, even though it's just the first chapter. I'm not really sure where this is going, but I sort of have an idea for an ending... or... yeah. I sort of have a sequel in mind for it too. Even though I have no idea what is going to happen in the story. Smart huh? Anyways, I'm trying not to put a lot of OOCness in this FanFict. A lot of FanFict's I read, have a lot of OOCness to it, I enjoy reading them, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense, since that's not how the actual character's would act. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

It was past midnight, a few miles away from the Hidden Rain Village. 3 Shinobi set up camp for the day (Or what was left of it). They have been traveling since 6:00am from the Hidden Leaf Village, on a C-Rank mission to deliver a scroll to one of the villages elders. The 3 Shinobi are Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga. And with Kiba, as always, is Akamaru.

Kiba, Shino and Akamaru all sat around the fire staring at nothing. Hinata excused herself from the group 50 minutes ago. Both Shino and Kiba were wondering what she was doing that was taking so long. Though Shino and Kiba were friends/team- mates, they really didn't have that much to talk about, so they normally would sit in silence when Hinata wasn't around. She was the one who would start up all the conversations, and would make them laugh. Well Kiba would laugh, Shino would sort of chuckle. After a few more minutes of silence, and staring into nothing, Kiba got up from his seat and stretched.

"I'm going to see what's taking Hinata so long. " Kiba said with his hands behind his head.

" Hn. Try finding her soon. It's going to rain in a few minutes. "

" Heh, that's the down side to this mission, it's alway's raining around here. "

" Hn. "

" Ready Akamaru? " the little white puppy gave his normal cute bark, then Akamaru and Kiba started down the path that Hinata went in. Kiba hoped she didn't wander to far from their camp site. He wanted to find her as soon as possible, before it started to rain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not that far from the camp site, a 12 year-old girl with short midnight-blue hair was in a fighting stance panting heavily. Any chance the girl got, she would train her hardest, so that one day, she could prove she isn't as weak as every one thought she was. Also, maybe her crush would notice her. Oh how she wished he would notice her... sort of. She was always embarrassed when ever he would look at her. She would turn her head away from him every time she had to talk to him. And of course, she always had a blush on her face, every time she saw him.
The young girl decided it was time for a break. If she kept on training, her body would give out on her, then Kiba and Shino would have to take care of her, and she would put them through a lot of worrying. Plus, it meant that they would have to hold off on their mission for a few days. They wanted to get this mission over with already!

She got out of her fighting stance, sat down, and leaned back on her elbows, trying to look up at the stars, but failed 'cause the sky was covered in thick gray clouds. With an annoyed sigh, she started scanning the sky, in hopes that she would find at least one star that was bright enough to shine through the dark rain clouds. But sadly there wasn't. As a few more minutes passed of searching, the clouds started to lighten a little, and the moon started to show in all it's glory. At the sight of the moon, the girl smiled. Even though her team-mates weren't that far away, she started to feel as if she was alone. When she wasn't around anyone for some time, she would start to feel lonely. Though she likes being alone some times, she doesn't like being alone for very long.

Whenever she started feeling that way, she would look up at the sky to see the white clouds, or the stars and moon. She started to relax a little more, at the sight of the moon. Then off in the distance, a barking could be heard. She smiled knowing who the bark belong to. Shortly after she heard the bark, a little white puppy came running up to her, and licked her face. She started laughing as the puppy was tickling her with his licks. Kiba walked towards the girl, bent down, and started petting the puppy that was tickling the girl.

" Heh, Me and Akamaru got worried about you Hinata-Chan. We wanted to see if you were alright. "

" Gomenasai, Kiba-Kun. I must of lost track of time. " Hinata said while pushing her index fingers together like she always does when she gets embarrassed, or nervous.

" Don't worry 'bout it Hinata-Chan! " Kiba sat down next to Hinata. " Sooo... been training huh? "

" Mhmm. "

" You know Hinata-Chan, you really shouldn't be pushing your self too hard. I mean, it's great that you want to prove everyone wrong, but-- "
" It's not just that Kiba-kun! " Hinata blushed by her sudden outburst. " I-I want to get stronger, n-not because of them, but for my own self, a-and b-because... " Her blush she got from her out burst had deepen with color. Just thinking about a certain blonde-headed boy got her got her heart to be fast, she became shy and nervous. She started playing with her thumbs, trying to get her blush under control before Kiba noticed she was blushing more.

Kiba looked at her with a confused look on his face. He was about to open his mouth to ask her what she was going to say before she stopped talking, but it started to thunder and sprinkle slightly, snapping Kiba out of what ever he was about to ask her.

" Oh yeah, Shino said it's about to rain, we should be heading back soon. "

" Alright. "

Hinata halfway un-zipped her jacket, picked Akamaru up, and put him in her jacket to shield him from the cold wind and rain. Kiba then wrapped one of his arms around Hinata's shoulders and pulled her closer to him. Hinata smiled at him. She knew they weren't going to make it back to the camp before it started raining hard, and Kiba wanted to keep her warm and dry.

Kiba and Hinata are closer than best friends. Kiba has a little crush on Hinata, but he knows she doesn't feel the same way, and he didn't want to risk telling her his feelings, and have her say that she wishes she felt the same way, but she doesn't, and every time they would see each other, it would become awkward between them. He would rather keep her as a good friend than risk loosing her altogether.

Hinata saw Kiba as a brother. Someone who was always there for her whenever she needed some one to talk to. She wasn't very close to her sister, because her father would always compare Hanabi against Hinata. Even though Hinata was the Heir of the Hyuuga family, her father always looked down upon her, always saying that her younger sister Hanabi was a lot stronger than her, and how Hanabi would be a much better Heir for the family. Kiba would be there for Hinata every time her father would leave her crying from all his yelling and lecturing her. Hinata looked up to Kiba as well. He was sort of like Naruto, always out-going, never backing down to anything and everyone.

Sure enough, by the time they made it back to their camp, they were completely soaked.

" Remind me never to take a mission for the Village Hidden In The Rain! " Kiba said in an angry, yet joking voice. Hinata giggled at Kiba as they ran into her tent. Kiba and Shino was sharing a tent while Hinata stayed in one alone, but since hers was closer, they both got in hers. Hinata un-zipped her jacket, and let Akamaru jump out of her jacket, and shake all the water off of him. She then went to her back pack, pulled out 2 towels, handed one to Kiba, then wrapped the other one around Akamaru to help him dry off.

Kiba walked over to Hinata, and put the towel she gave him over her head, and started drying her hair off.

"You need to take better care of your self, Hinata-Chan. " Kiba said with a smirk.

" D-don't worry about me, I'm fine Kiba-kun. " A small blush tinted her cheeks.

" I don't want you to catch a cold. "

" But honestly, I'm ok. " Hinata said as she pulled out another towel and handed it to Kiba.

" I know, but still. You worry about every one but your self Hinata-chan. But then again, I guess that's what makes you special. You have such a big heart. " Kiba gave Hinata a small smile. He was sad on the inside. He wanted to hug her, and tell her his feeling he had for her, but he knew he couldn't tell her.

" Well, it's getting late, we should get some rest. "

" O-okay. Good night, Kiba-kun, Akamaru-kun. Oh, can you tell Shino-kun I said 'sorry for taking so long, and good night.'? "

" I will. " He walked over to her and slightly kissed her on her forehead. " Good night Hinata-chan. " Kiba said softly. He then looked down to Akamaru. " Ready Akamaru? " The little puppy backed, and so they headed to their own tent.

Kiba left Hinata blushing. She never thought of Kiba more than a friend/brother, but every time some one kissed her (which was hardly never), she would blush. Slowly, Hinata made her way back to her back pack, pulled out a long black shirt that went to her knees, and long black pants that was a few inches above her ankles. She changed into them fast before Shino or Kiba went to her tent for some reason. She then went and laid down on her sleeping bag. Thoughts of her day, training, and what she was going to do tomorrow flooded her mind. Slowly, she closed her eye's, and let the sound of the rain take her over to her dream's.

Ok! So that's done with. Next chapter is going to be about Sasuke's night, or some crap like that. I haven't started writing anything down about it, but I have a few stuff floating around in my mind. Anyways! Sorry if it was long and/or boring. Like I said, this is my first time writing a FanFict, so please, no flaming on how sucky this is. If you do, I'll start crying (most likely), and end up not finishing the story. Ok... I will finish the story, but if you don't like this, then you don't have to read it. It's as simple as that nod nod. Anyways, I hope you did like it or whatever. It didn't take long to write, the only thing was, I wrote it on paper, and I ended up adding more stuff to it, so that's what took so long. Yeah so, anyways, I'm not sure when I'll have the next chapter up, but it'll be soon I hope.

Well, Ja Ne! From yours truly: FluffyPanties/Ariana.
