"Hinata!" Naruto called, as he saw the shy kunoichi. Hinata blushed, and waved. "I thought that your team was on a mission in the Sand Village."

"W-we were," Hinata poked her fingers together, "b-but um… we got back this morning."

"Oh, what were you doing?" asked Naruto.

"W-we were j-just helping out at the n-ninja academy. O-one of the t-teachers was sick, s-so my team helped teach the k-kids," replied Hinata.

"I haven't seen Kiba or Shino yet," Naruto told her. "And Kiba owes me a bowl of ramen. We had a bet on whether or not Kakashi-sensai would have Jiraya's new book the day before it came out. I said yes, he said no, and I won. The loser has to treat the winner to ramen."

"I-I could remind Kiba that h-he owes you r-ramen," offered Hinata.

"Okay, thanks Hinata. I've got to meet Sakura at the training grounds," Naruto smiled. "She won't admit it, but it's a date." He didn't notice Hinata's hurt expression. "See you!" Naruto started to sprint to the training grounds.

Hinata decided to stick to her word and tell Kiba that he owed Naruto ramen. Kiba would probably be taking his dog, Akamaru out right now, so Hinata ran to where Kiba normally ended his walks. She waited for about five minutes, and then Kiba shuffled up with Akamaru at his heels.

"Hey, Hinata! How are you?" questioned Kiba.

"F-fine," Hinata answered. "H-how are you?"

"Pretty good. Hey, do you want to go get some ramen or something?" Kiba suggested. "Or we could go see that new movie that just came out…"

"Um… I-I was talking to Naruto, and h-he said that you owed him ramen. I t-told him that I would remind you," stuttered Hinata. "B-but I think that it would be n-nice to go to a m-movie together."

"Like on a date?" Kiba knew that he was sort of going too far, but maybe Hinata did like him the same way he liked her.

"S-sure," consented Hinata. Kiba had not expected her to say yes; he thought that she only had eyes for Naruto. I should try to move on. Plus… Kiba is really cute. Hinata blushed, and Kiba smiled at her. Akamaru seemed happy as he yipped and ran around their feet.

"He's always energetic right after our walks," Kiba smiled at his dog. I can't believe that Hinata said yes!

"A-Akamaru is s-so cute," muttered Hinata.

"He really likes you," Kiba explained as Akamaru licked Hinata's toes. Hinata turned bright red and smiled at Kiba. He blushed less severely and smiled back at her.
