A/N: My first attempt at a Fanfiction. I hated when no one did a story that I wanted so I decided to make my own.
The story takes place near the beginning of Shippuden.
One had to confess. One had to realize. One will have to choose. Between the fox she's loved or the hound that's cared for her since the beginning.
The Fox and the Hound
In the heat of the afternoon day, Kiba quickly paced down the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village. He was confronted with a huge dilemma that had plagued him ever since he entered the academy. The object of his thoughts was a certain female ninja who had refused to leave his mind ever since he had first laid eyes on her.
'I've got to tell her soon,' he thought briskly as he continued to pace with no real destination in mind.
'But how? She loves that idiot, Naruto…And now that he returned I might never have my chance with her.' he sighed. 'He doesn't even notice her! And plus a guy like him doesn't deserve a girl like Hinata.'
'Well, I can't take the chance of letting anything happen between them. I need to confess before its to l-'
Kiba's thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he almost ran into someone. He quickly regained his composure to see who it was. A sharp gasp left his lips.
"Hello Kiba-kun." It was none other than Hinata herself standing before him. 'Speak of the devil,' Kiba thought, 'now I have my chance!'
"Hey Hinata-chan," He said, starting to blush. She smiled and walked up to her teammate
"Kiba-kun, we should go to the training field. Shino-kun said we should all get some training done," Hinata said.
But Kiba wasn't taking in her words. Her beauty kept him in awe.
'Now is a perfect time,' his thoughts continuously looped within his mind. 'No one else is around to mess it up!'
"H-Hinata, can I a-ask you something?" Kiba stuttered. Staying calm around her was proving to be quite difficult for him.
"Go ahead Kiba-kun," said Hinata curiously.
"H-Hinata, I w-wanted to let y-you know that I l-"
"HEY Hinata!" shouted an orange clad blonde-haired ninja who was none other than Konoha's #1 most unpredictable ninja Naruto.
"N-N-Naruto-kun?" stuttered Hinata as her face started to become red.
'Damn! Why did he have to show up now?' thought Kiba angrily.
At this point Akamaru, Kiba's dog, had turned to his owner sensing his distress.
"Hinata! I was wondering if you could come with me to help me find my something? I thought your Byakugan would be useful and Neji's training." said Naruto.
'Please say no!' thought Kiba, but he knew what her answer would be before she even said it.
"O-o-of course I'll h-help you N-Naruto-kun," stuttered Hinata as she grew a deep shade of pink at Naruto's sudden request.
"Great! Lets go then!" said Naruto as he grabbed her hand and rushed her away, leaving an angered Kiba behind.
'Damn him!' Kiba cursed to himself.
Akamaru barked and Kiba looked down at his dog.
"Don't worry Akamaru I will confess to Hinata and I will convince her to love me." Kiba vowed "She will be mine. I love her to much to let her go."

Hinata had spent a great time with Naruto trying to find his leaf headband which turned out to be in his back pocket the whole time. But after their laugh he had treated her to ramen. I mean who could resist those bright blue eyes?

"I'm stuffed!" said Naruto after his 14th bowl of ramen.
Hinata just sat their blushing at her love, until Naruto caught sight of her red face and asked what was wrong.
"D-don't w-worry Naruto-kun I'm f-fine," stuttered Hinata. 'Its just that you take my breath away,' she said inwardly
"Okay, well, it's getting kinda late. I guess I'll walk you home," He stated nobly. "Don't worry I'll protect you."
All Hinata could do was blush at Naruto's remark. He wanted to take her home! she was finally able to muster a nod.
So he walked her home. There was a silence between them, but it was a comfortable silence. But all too soon, to Hinata's disappointment, they arrived at the Hyuuga House. The moon was out and it lit up the early night. When they reached the front of the house they both turned to look each other in the face. In doing this, their eyes met. Hinata's deep lavender eyes shimmered in the moonlight as she stared into the pools of cerulean that were Naruto's eyes. Hinata's face turned a bright red.
"Well, see ya Hinata!" said Naruto with his trademark smile as he turned and ran off.
"B-bye Naruto-Kun." But before she was finished he was gone. She stood there smiling, never wanting to forget this moment she spent with him.
This day would have been perfect, until she remembered the conversation with her teammate a couple of hours ago.
'Oh,' Hinata thought, feeling a little ashamed for leaving Kiba behind like that. 'Kiba-kun wanted to ask me something.' She turned around and started running towards Kiba's house, wondering what he could possibly want to tell her.

Naruto was racing back to his apartment after he had just dropped Hinata off, but something was wrong. Something was on Naruto's mind.
'What was it that I felt?' thought Naruto. It was something he hadn't felt for a long time. Not since he left the village to train for a couple of years.
He knew he had felt something when he had looked into her eyes. Her beautiful lavender eyes. Naruto shook his head frantically. How could he think like that about Hinata? Beautiful beautiful Hinata.
"AHH!" shouted Naruto. Why was he thinking these things? Deep inside him he heard laughing.
(What's wrong kid?)
'Yo, Kyuubi make youself useful and tell me what's this I'm feeling,' Naruto said to the Kyuubi in his mind.
(HAHAH are you really that stupid?)
'Shut up! I didn't ask for your criticism. If you know what it is just tell me already.'
(No, I'll let you figure it out by yourself. I enjoy watching you squirm, but I will say something that might lead you to your answer kid.)
'That is?'
(Who was the only person who didn't shun you out? Who was the person that tried to befriend you? The answer to that question might open up your mind and make you realize something.)
'Cut the cryptic BS out! What does this have to do with anything?'
(Wow kid you really are as dumb as you look)
And with that Kyuubi broke the bond between their minds.
'Wow, thanks for nothing!'
Naruto reached his apartment and entered his bedroom and sat down on the bed. His mind was pondering. What was that feeling he felt being around Hinata? He was sure he never felt it before. He had felt a twiddling in his stomach and his hands had gotten sweaty after he had looked into her eyes. What was it? But Naruto shrugged it off and blamed it simply on the rotten milk he drank that morning and he quickly fell asleep.
