Rain Fall

"Hinata!" A young rowdy boy with brown ruffled hair and red triangles on his cheeks called out. "Don't hide in such high places, Akamaru can't climb." He huffed, glaring with mischievous brown eyes up into a tree.

"B-but he always s-sits on yo-ur head Kiba." A small pale girl with lavender eyes, short indigo hair and pale lavender cloths giggled down at him.

Still the boy huffed and pouted. "But still."

Hinata looked sadly down at him and started to climb off her perch in the tree. "So-sorry Kiba!" She called and ran to him wrapping him in hug, but not forgetting his small white furry puppy on his head where she leaned up on tiptoe to kiss his wet nose.

Kiba laughed with his wide grin and tagged her on the shoulder. "I win!"

Realizing she had been played Hinata blushed red from embarrassment, but not one to get angry at her friends just silently pouted.

"N-not nice Kiba!" She scolded.

He grinned. "But I wanted to win a game. You always win at hide-and-seek because you hide in places I can't reach, or smell you in."

She giggled happily. "That's t-he point."

"Hmm." He furrowed his little face in confusion. "I don't like the point." He turned around and laughed again. "And mommy's ganna kill me! Look at my hole in my new jacket!" He heaved up his elbow to show the gaping hole in the gray jacket baring his skin underneath.

"Oopps." Hinata patted him sympathetically and grinned. Akamaru barked.

"Oh yeah!" Kiba smiled again and turned away. "Let's head back, my mommy is cooking today."

"O-okay." They trotted back hand in hand while Akamaru remained in his perch happily on Kiba's head.

Hinata and Kiba's family were at the Hyuuga vacation house for summer. Hinata was now turning six and her dad said she could choose a friend to invite to the vacation house. Of course being Hinata, shy as she is, she didn't talk to many people. Just Kiba and Shino. Shino because he was quiet to, easy to get along with and not scary, plus they sat next to each other all the time at daycare through pre-school. Kiba was a rowdy boy but he had a major soft spot for the quiet girl. Didn't like seeing her all alone there when Shino wasn't around.

So Kiba made friendly and the three had been best of buds ever since. Sadly, to the three friends, Shino couldn't come because he had a fever. Hinata though promised him a piece of cake and some small goodies.

"Kiba," Hinata stopped and look up at the dark sky, "a-are we l-l-lost?" She whispered quietly.

Kiba sniffed the air and looked around. "Nah. We can't have gone that far." He turned to his friend and smiled. Hinata let out a small blush. To the amusement of the parents, apparently the two had a childhood crush going on.

Kiba looked around and Akamaru jumped off to smell the ground, searching for their previous track.

"K-Kiba." Hinata shivered and wrapped her arms around herself. "I d-don't want to be l-lost. It's s-scary."

"Don't be scared. I'll get you home, okay?"

"Promise?"

"Promise." He looked around again and at the dark rain clouds hovering through the now menacing green tangle of trees. "Just pretend it's a giant game of hide and go seek, only we are look for the house." He laughed and hugged his friend, patting her back. Truthfully, the small boy was frightened.

"Okay Kiba." She hugged him back and rubbed his ear with one hand -just the way he and Akamaru liked- to calm him down.

Akamaru barked and pointed his nose to the ground. "See! He found it! Good boy Akamaru!" Kiba jumped for joy and Hinata hugged the small puppy.

"Okay, lead the way." He paused and turned to Hinata. "I got a gift for you, I just remembered."

"Kiba," she moaned, "n-not now, pl-please." She pointed the sky.

"But I don't want to forget again!"

"O-okay." She gave in with a normal red blush and a shy glance to the ground. Kiba grinned.

"Hold out your hand." Hinata complied and stuck her hand out. He smiled happily that she did as he had said and placed something small, smooth and a little sharp in it. "K, now look."

Again, Hinata complied and pulled out a small chain necklace from her hand that dangled a little precious tooth. "Kiba?" She asked confused.

"It's my tooth!" He grinned wide and for the first time Hinata noticed one of his canines were missing. There was a little black gap where it once had been. "It fell out and so I thought that with that I'd always be your protector!" He howled out and danced a little jig.

Hinata grinned and grabbed the boy in a hug. "Thank y-you Kiba!" She stepped back and placed it over her head and on her throat. She then leaned up and kissed the boy on his triangle cheeks which bloomed pink, a sad foreshadow to her now red rose face. Akamaru barked out and danced between the two in happy joy.

"Friends forever?" He asked, looking to is eyes which such a serious look, you could have sworn him older than six. "You'll always be with me?" He placed a hand on the small tooth that now hung just over her heart. "Like," He thought it over, scrunching up his nose. "Like we'll be married when we're older and have little kids, mommy told me all you have to do is order for one, and a bunch of puppies, and we'll always be together." Hinata was now full on red. But he had such an earnest and heartfelt look on his face. She would not deny him an answer.

"Y-yes Kiba." He smiled and the fabricade of an older him was gone replaced by the kid he was once again. Warping her in his arms, he yelled out for joy and once again Akamaru proceeded his own happy jump.

"Love you so much Hinata, wait till we tell our mommy's and daddy's we're married!"

Hinata laughed as he jumped about. "I d-don't think t-that's h-ow it works."

He stooped and once again looked confused, tilting his head to the side. "Oh. Then we'll ask."

A clap of thunder sounded above their heads before Hinata could answer him. The dark could sent a cascade of water spilling down on them in hard force.

"Akamaru in my jacket!" The frightened boy cried out as his little puppy jumped in shivering. He zipped up his jacket and grabbed Hinata's hand, trying to thing of the best thing to do. But the only thing that the two kids could think of, was to run home were safety was with their parents.

"T-this way!" Hinata had to yell to be heard from the crashing of rain and the suddenly monstrous winds and thunder.

"Okay!" The two ran, jumping and dodging and tripping in the dense woods. But none the more closer to home.

Thunder banged above them and lightning flickered on and off, casting frightening shadows on the trees. The rain was harsh and cold, pelting them like rocks and the two were entirely lost. Scared. Cold. Tired and crying.

"K-Kiba!" Hinata slowed down in her fast pace, tripping over the wet ground and her tired feet, holding desperately to Kiba's hand. Akamaru barked from time to time. "I c-can't!" She sobbed, tears blending in with the rain.

"Okay," Kiba puffed, out of breath as well. "Okay, we'll rest." He looked back, his eyes water logged from tears as well. The two sat with a huff on a log, trying to stay under the tree as much as possible, but the rain wasn't in their favor and fell down harder.
By now, the two kids were cuts and bruised from many falls. Tired, hungry and scared, and beyond all things, lost. So they clung to each other and could feel Akamaru shivering between them.

"It's o-okay H-Hinata." Kiba shuddered in the cold. "I'll g-get us h-h-home."

"K-Kiba." She sobbed into his shoulder. "I-I-I'm s-scared."They sobbed again and held each other tighter.

Crack! "D-did you h-hear th-that?" Hinata asked, clutching the soaked Kiba.

"Y-yeah." He shivered and stood up a little with his fist unskillfully in front of them. "Who's t-there?" Akamaru barked out a warning to Kiba. The ground beneath their feet was falling.

"H-Hinata." He managed out before the ground fell our beneath them, weak from the water, sending them pummeling down a steep cliff.

Hinata screamed and Kiba hollered out grabbing at the loose mud. Deciding that he couldn't find a good hold, he grabbed Hinata to him and held her close while they rolled down the hill. The two young kids landed with a sickening crack thorough more trees and bushes, down to the ground below.
