Chapter 1: Poetry

OOOOOOO

The forest was still, quiet. Hinata listened as the leaves danced in the wind, making a gentle hush sound. She stood for a second more, eyes closed, before she heard the first kunai being thrown. Opening her eyes, she summoned forth her Byakugan and used her own weapon to defend against the assault.

Breathing heavily, she allowed herself a small mile before the serenity of the forest was broken once more as she defended against an ambush of kunai. She defended herself easily, not breaking a sweat. On the third time, she felt a little worn, but continued on until finally, well after dark, Kiba and Shino stepped out from the bushes.

"Come on Hinata-chan, let's go get some food." Kiba smiled, tilting his head. Akamaru barked cheerfully in agreement from atop Inuzuka.

Hinata giggled and stepped forward to pat the dog. "Alright" She bonded after the two boy's excitedly, she a little exhausted from training.

As they were walking, Shino suddenly stopped, looking up as a formation of beetles passed by over head. "I must go," He spoke softly, following their movement with his eyes. "Those are the rare Yukirata beetles. This will be my only chance for another five years."

"Would you like for us to come?" Hinata questioned softly, also following the bugs with her gaze.

"You will scare them away…or slow me down." With that, Shino started off into the woods again, leaving behind the rest of team 8.

"Guess it's just the two of us?" Kiba smiled and took Hinata's hand in his own. "Come on, there's this really cool place I want to take you to, but it closes soon!"

Hinata blushed and looked at their connected hands as she was led through Konoha. "Kiba-kun," Her face heated up as Kiba glanced back at her after his hood fell.

"Yes?"

The sight took her breath away. She felt like she always did when ever Naruto was near her. "N-nothing," She stuttered and tripped over her feet.

A few seconds later, they arrived at a medium sized shop and they walked in together. On stage, there was someone reciting poetry and Hinata listened as she was led to the table. Once she sat down the man finished and instead of clapping, everyone snapped their fingers.

"Wow," Hinata breathed and watched as a woman this time summed up her courage and stood on stage. The woman spoke in soft tones, telling a story about a boy and girl in love, and Hinata was breath taken. When the woman finished, Hinata almost clapped, but caught herself and snapped her fingers instead. "I like this place-"

Kiba smiled and opened his mouth to make a remark; however, someone tapped his shoulder lightly. "Kiba-kun," It was a young boy. "It's your turn."

Kiba gulped and smiled again at Hinata. "I'll be right back."

She smiled softly and watched as he walked shakily to the stage. The young dog like boy stepped up to the microphone and in took a shaky breath before he spoke in a scared voice. "Sakura blossoms fall, kunai's are thrown. Divine she looks, standing there. Quiet and kind, gentle and sweet, she is my. Everything. Please, let her be my everything."

Finger's sapped and Kiba blushed bright before walking off stage, his hair glowing in the dark black light. "Did you like it?"

Hinata glanced down at Akamaru, who had chosen to fall asleep in her lap. "It was very nice Kiba-kun."

Kiba's cheeks flushed once more and he joined Hinata at the table once more. "So, what do you want to eat?"

OOOOOOO
