Wedding march plays.
Kiba glanced over to the entrance of the Hokage tower hall.
A beautiful Hyuuga dressed in a snow white dress stood elegantly at the edge of the magnificent blazing red carpet. Her gown reached all the way to the ground and her smooth complexion was somewhat hidden beneath the veil. However, the lavender pearl like eyes of hers still looked captivating even from behind the white veil.
Kiba was amazed and petrified. The Hyuuga heiress looked perfect. 'Purer than anything even imaginable! An ethereal angel!'
Kiba watched the bride gracefully glide down the aisle. Everyone present was obviously amazed by the aura the Hyuuga was giving out.
As soon as the Hyuuga, accompanied by her dad who seemed to be overshadowed by his daughter's elegance, reached the groom, Kiba's heart tightened along with his fists.
Hinata released her dad's arms and held onto her future husband's arm.
Yes... Her future husband was standing there dressed in a black tuxedo. It was something that looked so out of the ordinary considering that the groom usually dressed casually on a daily basis.
As Tsunade began reciting some passage about husband and wifehood, the blond, blue-eyed groom whispered into his about-to-be wife's ears.
Kiba was too heartbroken to witness this holy matrimony any further. Best man or no best man, Kiba couldn't stand the sight of seeing the lady he loves marry another man. Not even for another second.
Kiba quickly attempted to slip out of the ceremony as subtly as he could. Unfortunately, a pink haired lady grabbed Kiba's right arm the minute he was one step out of the entrance.
'There goes my chance of exiting subtly...' Kiba thought and sighed.
"Where are you going? Its Hinata's wedding! You as the best man should see it to the end!" Sakura whispered loud enough for Kiba to hear but not enough to disrupt the wedding.
"I can't. I'm sure Naruto knows how to wed properly right? I don't need to be around to see to it that he does. Besides, I really need to use the bathroom. Nature calls."
"Can't you hold it? It's about to be the best part!"
"So what?! You want me to pee in my pants while they get married? Sure! I'll stay and stink up the whole hall!"
"Ok, ok. Go, go. Just don't come crying back asking them to exchange the vows, wedding rings and kisses all over again!"
Kiba brushed Sakura's hand away and left as quickly as he could and whispered to himself, "Heh. As if I would..."
He headed for the bathroom, leaned against the sink and splashed his face a couple of times before looking at his pathetic reflection in the mirror. His eyes were already red and the water stains on his face had a hint of salty smell.
"Why? Why? WHY?! What went wrong?! Why am I not the one standing there?! Hinata! Hinata!!!" Kiba cried as he gripped his fist and punched against the wall just beneath the mirror. The tiles cracked and injured Kiba's knuckles but the pain in his heart was far more excruciating.
Kiba bit his lower lips in frustration and anger. What went wrong?
Just then, Kiba heard the door of the bathroom creak and an elderly man entered.
The man patted Kiba on the back and tried to console him.
"Are these tears of joy or sorrow? Why are you shedding tears in the bathroom? That is just so unmanly..."
Kiba was not in the mood for jokes at that moment. "Leave, Jiraiya! I don't need your pity! Aren't you happy now that Naruto, your successful student, is being blessed with Hinata?! Just go away and get to the wedding already!"
"Kiba..."
"Just go!" Kiba yelled and hurled the nearest flower pot from the sink towards Jiraiya.
Jiraiya dodged the flower pot easily but his side knocked against the sink.
"Oooh... That hurts... Must have been my lack of judgement... Guess I'm getting old..." Jiraiya exclaimed.
Kiba paid no heed and left without another word.
'If Jiraiya wouldn't leave, I will! In fact, I'll leave this village and cool down! Yeah! I'll forget everything and everyone here!' Kiba thought to himself. Then, an image of Hinata flashed across his mind. "Heh... How could I ever forget her?"
Suddenly, Kiba heard sounds of running footsteps from behind him.
Kiba turned around and saw Jiraiya bounding over towards him.
"What the hell do you want from me?!"
"Relax, relax, Kiba! I'm just here to offer you a chance with Hinata."
"What the hell are you talking about?! Hinata's in that wedding with Naruto as we speak!!! Just leave, would you?"
"Kiba, I'm letting you in on a little secret. Truth is, I recently learnt a forbidden time travelling jutsu. It sends a person back in time. Unfortunately the one performing the jutsu doesn't get to travel back in time. He just gets to send another person back in time."
"Huh? So why are you helping me again? You do know that your best and favourite student is the blond guy in there right?" Kiba said while gesturing towards the hall.
"Kiba, Kiba! I'm single and I'm growing old as it is and I would like to offer my assistance to any guy who needs it! Even more so if the guy has a beautiful sister!"
"HANDS OFF HANA!!!" Kiba yelled being the overprotective little brother he has always been.
"Haha! Glad to see that you have gained back your spunky attitude. Don't worry. She's not my type. I prefer loud, busty ladies with super human strength."
"The person you're talking about is obviously Tsunade... But seriously, why are you helping me?"
Jiraiya regained a serious expression and answered, "Cause I don't want both my favourite students to make the biggest mistake of their lives..."
Kiba was pretty sure Jiraiya meant Naruto since Naruto was the only student Jiraiya trained after the 4th Hokage's team, but what did Jiraiya mean when he said that he didn't want both his favourite students to make the biggest mistake of their lives? Did Jiraiya really say students? Who was the other one?
Just as Kiba was about to ask Jiraiya what he meant, Jiraiya did some hand signs and a gust of wind engulfed Kiba.
"OI!!! STOP IT!!! LET ME GO!!! I DIDN'T AGREE!!!! OI!!!"
"Oh yeah! A word of caution, this jutsu has a time limit and a condition! You'll have to have a passionate night with Hinata in the past to change the future, Kiba! You'll only have a month to do so or you'll be pulled back to this time and everything you've done in the past will be forgotten! Seize this chance and change your future Kiba! Change it!"
That was all Kiba heard before the cyclone in which he was in robbed him of his hearing and oxygen.
Kiba's lungs begged for air and his ears were tortured with loud and screeching sound waves. He felt as if his soul was being pulled right out of his body.
Kiba couldn't take any more of it. A few minutes which seemed to last for hours or even days passed. That was when the torturous, screeching sound finally ended and everything went black.
Kiba held his head and slowly opened his eyes. He blinked several times before his eyes adjusted to the light. The room he was in was really dim and it took several minutes before his eyes finally got used to the dark surroundings.
"Where am I? Argh! My body hurts all over!"
Kiba rubbed his head, arms and legs several times. It felt as if he was bruised from head to toe.
"Oh, right! That's it! That Jiraiya! He must have failed the jutsu and instead of sending me back into the past, he sent me back home with ten thousand bruises!"
Kiba noticed that his own voice seemed somewhat different but shook the thought out of his hurting head and took several glances around the place in which he was in. 'Wait... This isn't my room... In fact, this place looks somewhat familiar and yet at the same time it doesn't seem familiar at all!'
"Damn that Jiraiya! He even brought me to the wrong house! Sheesh! Where is this place?"
Kiba slowly stood up, still wobbly and glanced around. "Oh well, if I get out of this place, I might get a hint of which country Jiraiya has left me in!" Kiba reasoned with himself. Surely that old sannin isn't as senile as he seemed?
Kiba turned the knob and found himself walking out of an apartment building.
"Ok... an apartment? Jiraiya is definitely senile! Of all the places! Did Jiraiya leave me in an old abandoned apartment just to get me far away from Hinata?! Guess he really meant Naruto as his favourite student and his stupid sentence was just a result of his brain damage! Tch! Thinking he had more than a student! Who else besides Naruto and the 4th Hokage could stand him?! Who would be so dumb to actually follow his teaching?!" Kiba raged on and on. After awhile, he calmed down, sighed and took another glance around.
"Is this even Konoha?"
When he caught sight of the ninja academy, Kiba was certain of one thing.
"Yeah... Guess I'm still in Konoha..."
Kiba's heart sank. "For a minute there, I really hoped that Jiraiya left me in another village. Then I could forget... Hinata..."
Kiba shook his head and grasp his fist. "Argh! This is no time to get depressed! I need to straighten myself up and live my life! I need to get on with life!"
Taking in a deep breath, Kiba walked down a flight of stairs and headed towards team 8's old training ground.
'Heh! We used to train here when we were young. She was the most determined kunoichi in all of Konoha. She would pick herself up even after falling ten thousand times! She was better than every other kunoichi in the village. Yes! She was the best! In the world...'
Kiba cursed himself for being so weak. He felt as if he had formed an 'angel' and a 'devil' form of himself. Two voices argued about his actions.
Angel Kiba: You know you love her... But you know that she'll be happier with the person she has always admired ever since childhood years.... You should just move on...
Devil Kiba: So what? Your love for her is way deeper than Naruto's feeling of infatuation for her. She'll suffer if she realises that he loves ramen more than her! Besides, there's always the question of Sakura being in the picture...
Angel Kiba: Bad, bad demon! Go! Shoo, Shoo! Kiba, don't listen to him! They're married! It's not like you can do anything!
Devil Kiba: Come on! Are you ancient? There's always such a thing called divorce... No prob! Just get a lawyer and get Naruto and Hinata to sign some papers and ta-da! You'll get babe in a white gown strolling down the aisle to you! Then you'd be with the lady you love side by side, on the grand wedding stage!
Angel Kiba: But he was by her side on her wedding day... As the best man...
Devil Kiba: Well, technically he was alongside Naruto. But yeah, like I said, if he finds a lawyer, and does things as I say, he'll get Hinata in a white dress, strolling down the aisle to his side! But this time... He'll be the groom!
Angel Kiba: Where's the lawyer?
Kiba stared angrily at where he imagined the 'angel Kiba' would be and said, "Weren't you supposed to be the goodie goodie two shoes?"
Angel Kiba shrugged and said, "Hey, I'm just a figment of your imagination..."
Kiba sighed and slapped his forehead as both the 'angel and devil' disappeared. He laid down on the grass and stared up into the starry skies of Konoha. 'So, it's a full moon...'
"... It's already night... Hinata and Naruto are probably..." Kiba stopped. He didn't want to finish his sentence. It was too painful. Kiba closed his eyes and wished that this was all just a nightmare. When he wakes up, everything would go back to normal.
Suddenly, Kiba heard a splash coming from the river of Konoha.
He quickly stood up and rushed towards the source of the splash.
Kiba partly hoped that he would bump into someone familiar. Then, maybe he could hang out with that person and get himself drunk with sake.
The moment he laid his eyes on the source of the splash, his hopes of being drunk with his 'old aquaintance' were shattered. He saw no one. Perhaps it was just a stone that fell into the river.
Kiba slowly turned to leave. He pretty much knew his way home from the river but home wasn't the place where he wanted to be at right now. However, he did not have much of a choice. Where else could he go?
Just as he was about to leave, he caught sight of a figure shielding itself behind a tree sneaking glances at him. He pretended as if he didn't notice the figure's presence. He casually walked away from the tree to lower his observer's guard. Then, quick as lightning, Kiba spun around, ran and apprehended the figure.
When Kiba saw that he was apprehending a girl, he immediately released his grip.
The girl's face was the one face in the whole of Konoha whom he least expected to see.
"HINATA!"
"Um... H-hi?" Hinata shyly replied.
"Huh? Hi? This is not the time to be hi-ing me! What are you doing here?"
Hinata shifted shyly and nervously tapped her fingers. "Ano... I was just... Um... Loo-ook-king aro-und..."
Kiba raised an eyebrow. 'She was looking around? What was she looking for? Her midnight snack in the river? Heck! Why the hell is she stuttering?'
"Hey, Hinata, I just wanna let you know... Well, probably all your guests this morning already told you this, but... Well... Um... You looked really beautiful... Not to say that you don't look beautiful now, I mean, um... How should I say it? Ah! I mean, you look beautiful all the time! Wait! That didn't come out right..."
A red faced Hinata was already lying face down on the ground the moment Kiba said '-you looked really beautiful''.
"Oi, Hinata?" Kiba called Hinata several times and at the same time wondered why Hinata was behaving really oddly towards him – her best friend. 'Sigh... Best friend...'
Kiba debated on where he should bring her back to.
'Her house? No! She's married! She doesn't live with Hiashi anymore! Naruto's house? Where was that again? My house? Sheesh! I'd be strolling right into temptation!'
Kiba cursed himself for behaving this way.
'I should be able to sniff Naruto out somehow. I'll bring her to him. Hey, wait! What's with my nose? I can't pick up anyone's scent! Come to think of it, I didn't notice that it was Hinata earlier. I mean, with my sharp sense of smell, I would've definitely been able to notice that it was Hinata right away! What's wrong with me? First, it was my voice and now, my nose?'
Kiba carried and gently laid Hinata down on a bench nearby.
'Guess I'll just wait with her till she comes around.' Kiba thought while turning to face Hinata.
Hinata's complexion was smooth and fair. The natural shades of red blush on her cheeks were not a bad touch either. Kiba sighed. He really needed to keep his composure before he loses control.
Kiba walked towards the river, cupped some water with his hands and brought it towards his face. Just as he was about to splash his face, he saw his reflection in the water. Instead of a brown haired, whisker-less, black eyed guy, he saw a blond haired, whiskered, blue eyed guy staring back at him in the reflection.
"WHAT THE HELL???!!!"
Author: How was it? Too weird? Just a word of caution though... This story may seem pretty confusing initially but that's how it is with time travelling jutsu... Haha!!! Arigato for reading! If you don't mind... Care to comment? Ja!
