In the mood for a oneshot, decided to write it, and now you know the history of the story. I just want you guys to know that I must have rewritten this thing at least five times. Please tell me that it's ok!
Tick...tock... tick...tock... tick... tock...
Kiba was laid out on his bed, staring at the ceiling. A small ball of fur that was Akamaru was on the Inuzuka's stomach, getting some seep as he was stroked by his restless master.
There was a cool evening breeze that blew in through the open window, causing his curtains to lift off the ground, looking like the window was a super hero and the curtains were its cape.
Tick...tock...tick...tock...tick ...tock...
'That clock is getting really annoying' thought Kiba. It was the only thing in the room making noise other than the wind, and it seemed really loud.
Normally, none of these things bothered him at all, but right now, he wasn't in the mood. He hadn't exactly had the best day.
He sat up, an annoyed expression on his face. Akamaru had rolled over to Kiba's legs when he fell off his stomach. As you can imagine, the little puppy was anything but happy.
"Sorry boy." He said. He really wasn't focused on what he was doing. The only thing that was going through his mind was what had happened during today's training...
Kiba flew through the air with Akamaru as they looked around for different bugs. Hinata and Kiba had decided to help Shino look from some new bugs today since Tsunade didn't have a mission for them.
While the two looked in the trees, Shino and Hinata were on the ground. Hinata activated her Byakugan and began to look around.
'Harder! I have to concentrate harder!' She focused her chakra and began to scan the vegetation. Unfortunately, she wasn't seeing anything that Shino described that he wanted.
She gave a small sigh, but she wasn't giving up. She looked through the trees and on every leaf on every bush. Still nothing.
However, she did see something moving. It was a small human, obviously a child. He looked like he was trying to stay hidden, and doing a very bad job at it. The top of his hair was sticking out of the top of the bush, plus he wouldn't stop fidgeting so the leave continued to rustle.
She decided to go check it out herself.
"Hey guys, I'll be right back." She said. She relaxed her eyes, letting them return to normal. Shino gave her an approving nod and she went off. Kiba however, wasn't going to let her go off on her own. He kept his distance and followed her from the tree tops.
She wasn't going far, and when she reached her location, she tapped the head of the person sticking out of the bush.
A small head popped out, rubbing his scalp, looking up to fins the person who had tapped him. It was a little boy, and Hinata knew him immediately.
"Konohamaru-kun!" she said, "what are you doing here?" Konohamaru looked up at Hinata and smiled.
"You must have been the one that the boss was talking about." He said, climbing out of the shrub he was hiding in.
"What do you mean?" Hinata asked, beginning to blush, "what would Naruto-kun want with me?"
The grandson of the Third Hokage reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. He handed it to Hinata.
"The boss said that I had to give this to the girl who was madly in love with him. He said she'd be passing by here today."
Hinata held her face in her hands and blushed a deep shade of red. Naruto knew that she loved him? Was it that obvious?
"T-thank you Konohamaru-kun..." she said. Konohamaru gave a smile, then held his stomach.
"And you came just in time too! I have to go to the bathroom! Bye!" With that, the young boy sped off, trying to hold it in before he could get to a toilet.
From above, Kiba had observed the whole scene. He had heard everything too. What WOULD Naruto want with Hinata? Could it be that Naruto was in love with Hinata? But...he wasn't the only one...
He watched as Hinata unfolded the note. She read it intently, and by the time she had reached the end, her whole body had turned red. Kiba frowned. It was obvious that Naruto had given Hinata a love letter. He was getting pretty annoyed about it too.
He decided that enough was enough. Kiba jumped down off the branch to the ground, Akamaru following closely behind. A startled Hinata crumpled the note by accident, since she wasn't expecting someone to come out of the trees.
"Ah! Kiba-kun! W-what are you doing here?" she asked. Her whole body was shaking.
"I just came looking for you. C'mon, Shino found some new bugs. We can go home now."
Hinata nodded and they started heading back on the way to her house, there seemed to be an extra spring in her step. He walked her home and then headed to his. He really didn't feel like doing anything right now...
A few minutes after they left, Sakura came through the area, looking around.
"Why the hell did Naruto tell me to come here? There's no one else besides me!"
She growled loudly and turned heel, muttering about how she was going to kill Naruto the next time that she saw him.
So now, here he was, sitting on his bed, still petting the puppy and thinking about how Hinata and Naruto were probably a couple by now. He knew that he should be happy for his best friend and the guy she loved, but the problem was...
He loved her too.
The thought of Hinata ending up with some other guy just pissed him off to no end.
Tick...tock...tick...tock...tick...
AND SO DID THAT DAMN CLOCK!
Kiba growled as he thought of having to live with the girl he loved in the arms of someone else. As he continued to think about all of these things, he heard a ding come from his doorbell.
Kiba was alone tonight since everyone else in his family was on a mission. Still annoyed, he stood up from his bed, and started walking downstairs. He looked back at his room, feeling like he forgot something.
Oh yeah.
Faster than human eyes could follow, Kiba took out a kunai knife and flung it straight at the clock face. As you can probably imagine, it was a direct hit.
He walked down the stairs, with no special interest in what would be on the other side of the door. Probably just someone trying to make him by something. There was another ding from the bell.
"Hold your horses I'm coming." He said, picking up the pace. He undid the latch on the door, ready to yell "We don't want any" to a salesman, but there was a problem.
On the other side of the door, it wasn't a salesman.
It was Hinata.
Kiba stood there, mouth agape, just staring at the girl outside his door. What the hell was she doing here? Upon taking a better look at her face, Kiba saw something that broke his heart.
Hinata had been crying.
He quickly snapped out of his little trance and asked "Hinata, what's wrong? What happened?"
More tears flowed from Hinata's eyes as she shook her head.
"Kiba-kun..." she said between sniffles. It was obvious she didn't want to talk right now. Kiba wrapped an arm around her shoulders and brought her upstairs to his room.
Hinata sat on the bed where she was immediately greeted by Akamaru, who took place on her lap, allowing her to pet him.
Kiba sat next to her, trying to help console her. What could have happened?
"Hinata, please tell me what happened." He said.
She seemed to freeze for a second, before her eyes dropped to the floor. A few more tears came down as she began to tell the story.
"Today, Konohamaru-kun gave me a note from Naruto-kun. It said: 'please meet me here tonight, from Naruto.'"
At the mention of Naruto's name, Kiba clenched his teeth, but made sure that they weren't visible to Hinata. She continued, not noticing the anger her friend was feeling.
"So, when I went tonight, Naruto-kun was there but..."
She began to choke a little as she began crying again. Kiba put is hand on her back and tried to calm her down. She covered her face with her hands and told the last part of the story.
"He did mean for me to get the note! Konohamaru-kun was suppose to give it to Sakura-san!"
She was bawling by now.
"I was so upset when he said that it was a mistake, I just started running, and I ended up here at your house Kiba-kun. I'm sorry..."
Kiba was filled with rage right now. How dare Naruto make Hinata cry! Hell, how dare he deny Hinata period? She loved him so much and he basically just slapped her in the face.
He put his whole arm around Hinata and brought her closer to him. She was still crying, but she was starting to calm down. He rested her head in the crook of his neck, trying to get her to stop completely.
"Hinata, it's ok. C'mon, cheer up! It's not the end of the world." She had become quiet, but now had a case of the hiccups. He got up, leaving her alone on the bed.
"I'll get you some water and a face towel, ok?"
She nodded and hiccupped again.
A few minutes later, Kiba returned with the water and towel. She dried her face, then began to drink the water, hoping that the hiccups would cease.
"Are you feeling better now?" he asked.
She nodded again.
"I'm sorry about this Kiba-kun," she said, "I really didn't mean to cause you so much trouble."
Kiba shook his head.
"No Hinata, it's no trouble at all."
She gave him a small smile before she took another sip from her cup. He laughed and said
"See? You're smiling already!"
Hinata began to blush, hiding her eyes behind her hair.
Kiba smiled and lifted her chin.
"Don't hide your face. It looks really nice."
She blushed a little more, but leaned on him, causing him to blush. Still, he managed to hold her like he did before, his arm around her shoulders.
"Thanks Kiba-kun."
Kiba smiled. This was exactly what he wanted. Who knows? Maybe this meant that Hinata liked him too.
"Um...Kiba-kun?" she asked shyly.
"What?"
She pointed over to the table where a broken mess lay.
"What happened to your clock?"
Lol, the only reason I added the whole thing with the clock was because I was trying to sleep the other night, and the only thing I could hear was my stupid clock "tick...tock...tick...tock...". so I broke it . Anyway, I hope you liked it!
