Would she feel the same?
Kiba sighed, for he already knew the answer.
Of course not!
He smacked his tired face. To do it, or not to do it, was the question. Forget all this 'to be or not to be' crap. He just didn't want to lose the precious friendship they have.
Do it…
Kiba approached the Yamanaka flower shop, hands in pockets. The bell rung when he entered. He immediately found the roses and selected the best one in stock, and brought it up to the register.
Ino plastered on a grin. "Hi! Welcome to the Yamana-"
He silenced her by slamming the money on the table and walking out.
It was late when he pulled together the courage to confess. He was in the woods, walking to the Hyuuga compound, when he heard thunder crack and it started to pour. To his amazement, he found her in a clearing.
"Hinata…are you alright?"
"Y-yes Kiba-kun…" She responded quietly.
"What are you doing out here?" He was now fiddling with the rose behind his back.
Immediately her face brightened up. "U-um I was about to t-tell Naruto-kun…That…That I…" She hid her face.
"That's great to hear, Hinata!" He forced a smile.
"D-do you think I have a chance?" She questioned nervously.
"Hinata…Any guy would be lucky to have you…You're sweet, kind, and gentle. And that's only some of your great qualities. No worries, you'll break quite a few hearts."
"Y-you mean it? Thanks you, Kiba-kun!" She laughed and hugged him, and then walked off. His blush slowly disappeared.
He looked up at the pouring rain. The droplets fell everywhere around him, glistening as they hit the ground. Her smiling face was everywhere in the sky.
Yes Hinata…You will break many hearts…including mine…
He turned and stalked off, and the only thing left was the rose, lying on the ground, sad and broken, as the silver drops fell upon it one by one.

Later, a certain kunoichi came running back with tears in her eyes. She was amazed to find a rose in the place of where Kiba and her were standing.
Kiba...I never knew...I'm sorry...
She then ran to find the one that's comforted her for all these years. Her real love, a certain someone called Inuzuka Kiba.
