"Heya Hinata!" Kiba smiled. "Oh...hey...um...Kiba." Hinata replied, turning red, fiddling
with her fingers. "Where ya headed?" Kiba asked, trailing along beside her.
"Oh...uhh..Neji summoned me." She answered. KIba growled, "That low life scum I'll
teach HIM a thing or two!" He snarled, rolling up his sleeves. "No! Please!
Kiba...he's...ok." HInata defended. "But he said ALL those terrible things about you! About
how you ran away from yourself, and that you were a coward and"
"Kiba...please." She pleaded, "Just...stay calm... can you do that? ...For me?" Kiba
blushed, unrolling his sleeves, "Ok...for you." He said, playfully punching her shoulder.
Hinata smiled at him and started to walk ahead, giggling. KIba ran after her, "Aw!
C'mon! Wait for me!!!" He shouted, laughing.
When they arrived at Neji's, they noticed Neji, waiting patiently at the front gate, "We
need to talk." He said, pulling Hinata inside. He stopped abruptly after noticing Kiba, "I
told you to come alone Hinata. These are serious matters."
"I'm sorry Neji..." Hinata said, disgracefully lowering her head. Kiba walked in front of
her, "Hey! Lay off! I just wanted to tag along!" Neji stepped forward angrily, " Well then
tag AWAY. I said these were serious matters and can not be heard of by anyone other
than Hinata." Kiba growled, "NO. What's so important that I can't hear?" Neji glared at
him, "You can NOT come in."
"Please Kiba... Just wait outside."
Kiba turned, "Alright Hinata. I'll wait out here"
"Come on then Hinata. We have much to do." Neji said, pulling her away again.
Kiba waved, "I'll be here waiting Hinata! Don't make me stay here too long!" He laughed.
"Now then. Hinata?" Neji asked.
"Yes...Neji?" She replied.
"The Hokage wishes for an appearance with you. I'll take you to him right away"
"When"
"Now." Neji answered, pushing Hinata into the door.
"Ah, there you are Hinata." The Hokage stated.
