Max: Uh, hope you enjoy.

Grayson: We do not own anything.

The clouds lightly covered the moon causing it to look misty and unfocused. A figure watched the moon contently, a toothy grin gracing his face. He stole a glance at his comrades who had fallen into a deep rest, their breathing calm and slow. His eyes traveled to his closest companion, who was an abnormally large dog, who had also fallen into the calming bliss of the dream realm. His furry legs would twitch every once and awhile, small grunt and snorts filled the night air. He turned his attention back toward the blurred moon. A small smile danced across his face, oh how he loved the moon.

"Kaiba-kun.", a small timid voice whispered his name from behind. Turning towards the owner of the voice Kaiba's eyes met those of his female teammate and friend.

"Hey Hinata,", Kaiba whispered in return, "what are you doing up?"

Hinata quietly pushed her way through the tall dewy grass of the meadow the had decided to rest on. She tried not to disturb the greenery, for if an enemy ninja had seen they surely would be attacked. Finally Hinata sat down gently next to the wolfish Inuzuka.

"I should be asking you that.", she returned finally adding a soft, timid, but still genuine smile.

"Just admiring the moon.", he replied, turning his attention back to the giant glowing orb that danced in the night sky. They sat in a companionable silence, both staring at the beautiful night sky. Kaiba had decided why he loved the moon so much. It wasn't because of his dog-like instincts. No, it was because it reminded him of Hinata's beautiful eyes. Ironically the moon always followed the sun, much like how Hinata's eyes followed a certain blonde-haired shinobi back in Khonoa. Kaiba bit back a sigh, no need to worry his female companion.

"Kaiba-kun," Hinata whispered breathlessly, catching Kaiba's attention immediately, "it truly is beautiful."

Her eyes sparkled with happiness and amazement as she stared at the star-scattered sky.

"I agree, Hinata." Kaiba confirmed, giving her a toothy grin.

A small smile danced across her pale face. They soon went back into a comfortable silence, both admiring the sky. Every once and a while Kaiba would steal a glance at Hinata. When he had started feeling this way toward the shy Hyuuga he would never know. It started out as a brotherly love, but as time passed he found himself becoming more possessive. He had claimed that it was just his instinct, that it was only because she was apart of his 'pack'. But he soon found that it was no longer a plausible excuse. He found himself sneaking glances at her when he was sure she could not catch him. Kaiba had refrained himself from making a move on her because the blonde-haired shinobi had finally turned some of his attentions on her.

Though he sensed no romantic feelings coming from the whiskered male toward his crush, he could not interfere. He would not be the one to break her heart, he promised himself that he would only repair it. Though, sometimes, he wished that he could be her sun and she could be his moon. They heard a small rustle from the grasses behind. They both turned slowly. Their muscles tensed ready to fight, more out of habit than anything. Their bug-loving leader had also come to join their small moon-gazing group.

"Shino.", Hinata greeted, smiling with relief.

"Shino.", Kaiba grunted his greeting also.

Shino only nodded in reply, for he was a man of few words. Shino quietly walked over and sat on the other side of Hinata. Kaiba restrained a growl. Really, he had no reason to be jealous. Or perhaps he was a little disappointed that his 'Hinata time' had been interrupted? Whatever the reason, Kaiba decided not to worry about it. Their small group silently watched the night sky.
