Black and White

It never dawned on Kiba that maybe Hinata love him back. Their relationship was in black and white for him, no grey. He loved Hinata and she loved Naruto.

So whenever he would see her and the Blond together, he would turn his head or make a joke to hide the pain. He would never allow the pain it cause him to bubble to the surface, though a certain Bug User knew better.

He would take peace in the fact that Naruto was still madly in love with Sakura and only seen Hinata as a friend. That was the only thing that kept him sane but he knew that could only last for so long. No one could continue to ignore such a beautiful girl such as Hinata. She was great! Yeah, she had her flaws like everyone else, but her flaws did not matter to him because she was able to out shine them all.

But like it was for so many years, everything was in black and white. No matter how great he thought she was, she would only have eyes for Naruto.

He thought that he would grow to be an old man without at least telling the love of his life how he felt. He imagine the feeling would be similar to holding your breath, never being able to let go of that air trapped in your lungs.

He lied in the arms of the woman he loved as she cried over his body, pleading with him not to die. He didn't think he would die in the war nor that she would cry over him like this.

"Save those tears for the man you love." He said trying to stay strong. He knew his time was limited and he wanted her to hear his last words. "Hinata, I thought this would be something that I would take to my grave as an old man, He laughed "But that is not the case anymore." She shook her head not wanting to hear this, but he slowly placed his bloody hand on her cheek.

"Please listen to what I have to say." She finally stopped shaking her head, but the tears still fell. Even in this state that she was in, she was still able to take his breath away. Maybe his luck wasn't so bad since she would be the last sight he sees.

"Since we was children I have always loved you." Hinata pale eyes widen as shock took over her.

She waited to hear what he had to say next, but Kiba lost the energy to talk. Darkness started to engulf his vision, as he could not hear her screams anymore. So he just stared at her as her tears became heavier. He soaked in the last of her beauty as he finally drifted off. His life didn't ended in the fashion he thought it would, but he couldn't asked for anything better.

Lying in the arms of the woman he loved more than anything in the world, with the last words that he read from her mouth being, "I have always loved you too Kiba."
