Hi guys! This is my first fic, so please be gentle. Okay, I do have a pairing that I like more than the others, so, this, I am afraid to announce to you Kiba/Hinata haters that this is a Kiba/Hinata fic, there's a fair bit of GaaSaku in it, too, so… I'm starting out small guys, this will be a one-shot, unless you would like me to continue it, and if you would like me to continue it, or you like it, please review.

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! A MAN OWNS IT, NOT ME, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I'M COMPLETELY BROKE, AND AM THEREFORE UNABLE TO OWN EVEN A CANDY BAR, IF I DID, I WOULDN'T HAVE THAT CANDY BAR LONG ENOUGH TO SAY THAT I ACTUALLY OWN IT, BUT THAT'S ESIDES THE POINT, AND THIS DISCLAIMER IS GETTING TOO LONG.

On with the fic…

Hinata collapsed, exhausted, in a heap.

Kiba walks over to her, falling into a sitting position.

"Hey, Hinata…You can't possibly be…tired…yet…" Kiba says jokingly, breathing hard himself.

"Hai, Kiba-kun." Hinata replies, returning his grin with one of her own, somewhat weaker, smiles.

"Come on, we gotta get it together now, Gaara and friends are coming to the country for a few months, we can't be looking like we just came from hell, and just took a bath in Akamaru's turds, can we?" Kiba jokes, standing up, holding his hand out for Hinata.

Akamaru whines at Kiba's joke.

Laughing, Hinata takes his hand, allowing him to pull her up.

"Yeah, we can't, can we, Gaara-san may take it personally." Hinata says, pulling her hair out of the ponytail, revealing its waist-long length.

"Eh, that's right…Everyone'll be there, and I wouldn't want to see Gaara's expression when Lee gives his 'The Return of Youth' speech. Though, Temari might be scarier." Kiba says, grimacing at the thought.

Hinata grins. "I don't even want to be around for the return of youth speech." Kiba adds.

"I still remember how long it went on for when Naruto-kun came back after being gone only a month, remember your 'Return of Youth' speech, Kiba? It went on forever…When Lee-san finished, you tried to walk away, but you keeled over." Hinata smiles. She had gotten over Naruto a year ago, when she and the rest of the rookie nine were 17 years old.

"Yes. But as I recall, there was a major event that day, and when Lee gave me the 'Return of Youth' speech, you were stationed at the sake bowl. A waiter plowed through you and you got a face full of sake. You were tipsy for the whole day." Hinata laughs at the memory.

"At least Gaara wasn't there for that."

"Alright Hinata, you and I better get this show on the road, or else we might get caught late, like Kakashi, then everyone would assume we were reading Icha Icha Paradise and are perverts." Kiba says in mock fright.

"Not me." Hinata says. "I don't know about you, don't you already read those books?"

"It was one page on a DARE!" Kiba yells after the retreating Hinata.

"Bye Kiba!" Hinata yells over her shoulder.

"See ya at the Hokage Monument, Hinata!" Kiba yells.

"Not if I see you first!" Hinata laughs.

Kiba sighs good heartedly and continues in the direction of his own home.

Sakura slips her usual clothing, glancing over at the mirror.

'Gaara-kun…' Sakura thinks. Shaking her head, she stops herself.

'Whoa, where did that come from? Well, I haven't seen him for a while, and today I get to see him for the first time in a few years.' Sakura reasons. 'No way could that have come right out of the blue just like that.'

Its cause you like him.

'Oh my god, who the hell was that?' Sakura thinks frantically.

I'M BAAAACK! Inner Sakura cackles.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Sakura screams out loud.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"Naruto yells, opening the door to Sakura's screaming.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Sakura screams.

"Jeez Sakura, you scared me." Naruto mumbles.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sakura screams.

"Oh, hey Naruto." Sakura blushes in embarrassment.

"Come on, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari are going to be at the monument at any second." Naruto says.

Sakura blushes more. "Okay."

Hell YEAH! Inner Sakura yells.

"Hinata, we're there already." Kiba says.

"Really… Huh, time really does pass qu- Temari-san!" Hinata cries, hopping off Akamaru, and running the rest of the way.

Akamaru, carrying Kiba, trots up to the two girls.

Sakura and Naruto walk up to the five people (…and Akamaru).

Sakura immeditally freezes after spotting Gaara.

"Ga-Gaara-kun!" Sakura yells.

Gaara turns towards Sakura, and raises his eyebrows.

"Gaara-kun!" Sakura runs up to him and hugs him.

Gaara freezes, looking at anybody for advice or help, which nobody gives him.(Those bastards:) )

"Uh, nice to see…you too…Sakura…" Gaara says patting her on the back uncertainly.

Oh yeah, that's right Sakura, a pat on the back. NICE. He LOVES you! Inner Sakura yells.

"Shut up." Sakura mumbles out loud to Inner Sakura.

" Uh… okay?" Gaara says, bewildered.

Sakura was about to say 'No, not you! My inner voice!' but, that sounded alittle on the insane side, and she was pretty sure Gaara didn't 'dig' insane girls…or did he?

"Oh no, Gaara, look out, it's Lee… He'll KILL you." Kiba says.

"What? Really?" Gaara asks, wide eyed, watching Lee bounce ever closer to him.

" Not literally, but, yeah, he'll kill your insides with his speech, run, Gaara, run. Run far away." Kiba says.

" But I just got here." Gaara says, Sakura still squeezing the life out of him.

"It doesn't matter, run FAR away, run as fast as you can…" Kiba says dramatically.

"RUN GAARA, RUN!" Hinata screams in mock horror. (GASP! I used the same word TWICE in my story! Starts screaming bloody murder)

ENDCHAPTER!

Alright guys, now here are some details, for the story: The Rookie 9 are all 18, Team Gai is 19, Gaara is 18, Kankuro is 19, Temari is 20 (?) Now Akamaru is a big a large two (perhaps three, if its possible) seater motercycle by now folks, so, no problem that Hinata and Kiba were riding him. If he was smaller, Kiba and Hinata would probably smash Akamaru, which would suck for all of them, but mostly Akamaru.

Now guys review, I like em, you probably like em, so, review, please. Tell me if you want me to continue, but, if I get a good idea for this, I'm gonna continue it.

So, merry happiness to you guys!

Remember guys, red rum!

Bye!
