Authors Notes: Hello everyone!! Waz up? This is a KibaHina story that starts out with a little NaruHina. Sooo yeah... Oh and all the characters are about 18 years old. And Akamaru is very big.
Disclaimer: Yeah, I don't own Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru or anyone else. I only own Tsukiko, Akamaru's girl.
Chapter one- I Promise
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else . . .
Kiba lay on the branch of a strong tree with Akamaru, his dog. He lay facing the wind, feeling the warm breeze dance through his wavy brown hair. He opened his eyes slightly, to see Akamaru's big mouth open in a loud yawn. Kiba chuckled and closed his eyes again. They stayed like that until Kiba felt Akamaru's attention turn quickly to a twig cracking to his left and whimpered. Annoyed that someone was disturbing him, Kiba sat up to see where the source of the noise was.
It was Hinata. She looked horrible. The Hyuga was covered in blood and her left wrist was twisted to a difficult angle. She was trying to walk, or rather limp, without feinting. As soon as Kiba saw her his anger disappeared. He leaped of the tree and ran to his friend with Akamaru in tow.
"Hinata! Oh man! What happened to you?" Kiba yaelled. He touched her tenderly on a blood stained cheek, and feeling her shaking, looked into her purple-white eyes.
"K-Kiba-kun. I was f-fighting with Neji-nii-san (?) a-and my father again. I-I lost." Hinata stuttered in a quiet voice. She looked shamefully at the ground. Each word was so hard to say; she was so tired. "Kiba-kun…"
A small tear trickled down her cheek as she lost consciousness. Kiba caught her before she fell and cradled his friend in his arms gently. Akamaru moved next to him and allowed him to place the unconscious girl on his strong back.
"Come on; let's take her to our apartment." Kiba said to his dog, sadness strong in his voice. Akamaru barked softly in agreement.

Kiba laid the unconscious woman on his bed. He had managed to get her under the covers, with the help of Akamaru. Kiba took her shoes and jacket and walked over to the small kitchen, down the hall from his bedroom. The hallway was covered in dog toys, clothes, and candy rappers. Kiba, in a vain attempt to make his home look clean, shoved everything into a closet while Akamaru went to the living room to sit on the couch and fall asleep. He barked a "thanks" when Kiba threw him a doggy treat from the kitchen. Kiba placed Hinata's stuff on an empty chair taking care not to let the jacket touch the dirty floor.
Kiba went to the sink and took out a hot, damp towel. He walked to Hinata and taking a seat next to her, began to wipe the blood off her face and arms. The crimson liquid came off easily, to show pale white skin. Her dark blue long hair lay in disarray on the pillow and Kiba quickly fixed it for her. The male ninja sighed.
"This isn't the first time you've been like this." He thought as he cleaned her dirty arms. "As we get older, Neji gets angrier…… and my love for you grows stronger." He saw the weird angle Hinata's wrist was in and, slowly getting up, went to get bandages from a kitchen cabinet. When he returned with the wrappings and scissors, Hinata was weakly sitting up in his bed.
"N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata said drowsily. Kiba frowned at the mention of Hinata's boyfriend. Naruto. Its not that Kiba hated Naruto, far from it, he was close friends with the demon carrier, its just that he is Hinata's boyfriend.
"Ummm…Hey Hinata." Kiba said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He felt the green monster of jealousy take hold of his heart.
"Kiba-kun! W-Where am I?" said Hinata. Kiba laughed at her puzzled expression. He walked over to her and took a seat beside her, placing the stuff in his arms on the wooden floor.
"Don't worry, you're in my apartment. You've broken you're wrist, but I can fix it for you." Kiba's heart fluttered when he saw a smile appear on the woman's lips.
"Thanks Kiba-kun, you're a good friend." Hinata said in her quiet voice. Kiba felt a light blush rise to his face. on. Let's get you're hand fixed now." Kiba took Hinata's small soft hand delicately into his big ruff hands. He snapped the dislocated wrist back into its place with only a whimper from Hinata. "There……..Better?" Kiba asked as he wrapped bandages around her wrist.
"Y-Yes Kiba-kun. Thank you very much." Hinata smiled and looked at her hand. Kiba had finished wrapping her wrist and was holding her hand. Hinata's smile widened slightly and blushed. Kiba quickly let go of her hand and stood up hastily, trying to hide how red his face had gotten.
"Would you like something to eat? I'm good at making chicken noodle soup if you're hungry." Kiba said, embarrassed.
"Yes, please. That would be nice." replied Hinata settling into the covers.
"Okay, just wait five minutes. Go ahead and get comfortable." Kiba left the room with his heart pounding. "Damn, why does being around her always do that to me, as if I ran a freakin' marathon!?' Kiba kicked a few stray items to the side as he walked down the hall. He caught a glimpse of a sleeping Akamaru lying on the couch as he entered the kitchen. Laughing, he took out the ingredients for the soup and began cooking.

"Okay, here it is Hinata!" said Kiba laughing as he entered the bed room. Hinata smiled as Kiba handed her a steaming bowl of soup. "Be careful though, it's really hot." Kiba sat down at her side and watched her as eagerly as a child giving their parent a Christmas present they had made themselves.
Hinata's eyes widened as she took her first sip of the soup. "It's wonderful Kiba-kun!!"
"Really? You really like it?"
"Yeah! It tastes delicious!" Hinata said between gulps. In a matter of seconds the first bowl was gone and Hinata was asking for more.
"You can stay here for the night; since you're ankle is sprained, you should stay off of it for a little while." Kiba said to Hinata as she handed him another empty bowl.
Hinata's face lit up. "R-Really Kiba-kun? Would you do that for me? I don't want be a problem."
Kiba laughed loudly. "Of coarse you can stay! You are never a problem to me! Besides, you're old man would just go into a head-on yelling session if he saw you like this, plus its getting dark, you might get hurt." He scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Stay as long as you want. You can sleep in my bed and I'll crash on the couch. No big deal."
Kiba stood up as Hinata said," Thank you Kiba-kun, for everything. You're there for me, even when no one else is. Thank you."
A dash of pink splashed across Kiba's strong face. She motioned for a hug. Kiba gladly obeyed; kneeling down, he wrapped his muscular arms around her and breathed in the smell of flowers; her scent. "I will always be there for you, no matter what, I promise." He squeezed her slightly and wished he could stay in her arms forever. He moved backwards to look into her eyes. "I promise." She smiled as he released his grip and stood again.
With the empty bowls in his hand he left the room, a smile playing on his lips.

"Okay, you all set?" asked Kiba as he tucked her in. He practically drowned her in pillows and blankets, trying to make her feel at home. Hinata giggled.
"Yes! Don't worry! Go to sleep already!" Hinata smiled. "A-Are you sure you don't want me to sleep on the couch with Akamaru? I-I don't like kicking you out of your own bed."
Kiba laughed. "Of coarse I'm sure! You need your rest. I will be fine; I sleep on the couch with Akamaru all the time! Are you sure you're okay? Are you thirsty at all? I could get a glass of water for you."
"I'm fine Kiba-kun. T-Thank you."
"Okay, good night. Call if you need me." Kiba stepped out of the room and closed the door, leaving it open a crack.
"S-Sleep well Kiba-kun." Hinata called after him.

The next afternoon, Hinata left Kiba apartment in a rush.
"I really want to see N-Naruto-kun. We are going to go see a movie at nine, and I-I really want to go. B-Bye Kiba-kun! Thank you for your kindness!"
Hinata gave a shocked Kiba a quick hug and started to take fast strides in the direction of Naruto's apartment. Her jacket and clothes were clean, Kiba had put it in the wash while Hinata had taken her morning shower.
"Okay Hinata. B-Be careful on your ankle! Don't run!" Kiba stuttered. Hinata waved with her good arm good-bye and parted.
He sighed, feeling lonely. Akamaru was with his new girlfriend, Tsukiko, a wolf that lives in the forest, so he was all alone. He watched Hinata grow smaller as she walked farther away from him and towards Naruto.
