Author's Notes: YAY! I'm loving this story! Is it wrong to marry a story? Is it allowed? Is science ready for such a thing...? I don't know... Maybe when I'm a millionaire, I'll make some laws... Who knows...?

Disclaimer: So, I was told that I would be able to buy the deed to Naruto, but unfortunately they gave me a piece of paper with a drawing of a guy with all of my money... I should really work on my negotiating skills...

Chapter Two: Kiba? Akamaru? Hinata?

"Who the hell do you think you are just sitting on our territory?" The boy asked once again. Hinata could only stare at him in shock. "Well? Do you have an answer or not?"

"I-I..." She began, unsure of what to say. As she looked at his face, she could tell that he was irritated, it was like she was about to step on a landmine.

"Well?" He asked impatiently. "Are you going to do anything other than just mumble a bunch of things? And you had better hope that I like your answer!"

"I-I-I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to intrude, honestly...! I was just walking around and then... And then I followed-!" Hinata began as she glanced over at the white puppy, who was just sitting there, staring up at the boy as he wagged his tail.

The boy raised an eyebrow at the answer. "Eh...?" He asked, leaning in closer to her, a slight blush on her face at the sudden action. "You were following Akamaru...? And he let you...?"

Hinata blinked. "A-Akamaru...?" She asked.

"Uh, yeah... I thought that you were talking about Akamaru!" The boy replied.

"Um," Hinata started as sweat began to crawl down the side of her face. "I-Is Akamaru the name of... Your dog...?"

"Well, who else would I be talking about...?" He growled, Hinata squeaking in surprise. She just hoped that he wouldn't go in any closer. He seems dangerous... And he has a strange... Musk... About him, so to say...

Akamaru barked happily. Hinata stared at the dog for a moment in shock. She couldn't help but notice how calm he was about the whole situation. It was like he was trying to keep both her and the boy calm. However, the boy's attitude didn't help make things any easier.

"U-Um... Well I," She said after a short moment of silence. "I just wanted to say sorry once again... I really didn't mean to step in your territory... So, I'll just leave you be, if that's okay with you...!"

The boy scratched the back of his head. "Man, do you always apologize like this, or am I that intimidating...?" He asked.

"Um... Well I... You don't-I-I'm sorry!" Hinata replied.

The boy didn't look impressed as he listened to, yet again, another apology. He looked at Akamaru then to the sky and back to Hinata. He sighed and sniffed her like a dog, a chill running down her spine as he did so. He sighed as he stepped around to her side and used his sharp claws to free her ankle of the root that had caught her.

Hinata stared at him for a moment in surprise. "O-Oh! T-Thank you!" She said as the boy stood up.

The two stared at each other for a moment until the boy picked Hinata up bridal-style so suddenly.

"U-Um... What are you-?" She began until she was rudely interrupted.

"Don't ask questions!" The boy snapped. "Just so you know, I'm not doing this for you! Akamaru just seems to like you – for some reason – and it would be a shame for you to get eaten by, like, a bear, or something... That's my reason, so don't judge, got that?"

Hinata blinked as she tried to process what he just said. How it was for Akamaru... And also, she couldn't help but notice how rude it was when he had slipped in that 'for some reason' part.

He began walking with Akamaru following right beside him. His grip remained rough and tight, not something a kind gentleman would carry someone like. It was obvious to Hinata now that he must've really not have cared that much about her safety. She looked down at her own hands as she continuously pressed her fingers together. The boy must have seen her doing this.

"What's up with that weird fidgety thing you're doing with your fingers?" He asked, Hinata's face going red.

"U-Um... I just... Well I-!" Hinata tried to explain until she was once again interrupted.

"Is that one of those weird things some people do when they get nervous, or something...?" The interrupter asked.

Hinata just went quiet.

"Some people are just weird..." The boy muttered.

After she had cooled down a bit, she had finally gained the courage to talk again. "E-Excuse me, but... Where are you taking me, exactly...?" She asked.

The boy looked down at her. "Our place. This is about when I'm about to go hunting anyway, so I don't have time to take you anywhere else... And I'm really hungry at the moment, so you should just be grateful that I'm not eating you!" He answered.

She was almost too scared to ask, but it just slipped out of her mouth...

"Hunting...? What do you hunt...?"

"Whatever I can find..." He replied. "Wow... You really are from a village or something...? You don't hunt for your food, do you? You just click your fingers and it'll be there handed to you along with a pile of gold, won't it?"

"N-No! It doesn't work like that, really!" Hinata told him. "We all still have to work really hard in order to get our food!"

"Tch! Sure..." The boy muttered as he shook his head.

They continued to walk in silence until they reached a small cave, nothing too unusual about it. Well, except for the sign out the front of it with 'BEWARE' carved into it along with a threatening looking Akamaru carving underneath.

The boy dropped Hinata onto the ground carelessly as they entered into the cave. Hinata rubbed her now throbbing head.

"Welcome to your hotel for the night, Princess...! If you have any complaints about our accommodation, please report to the nearest bear that you can find, and he'll handle your problem within a matter of seconds!" He stated.

"P-Princess?" Hinata asked. The boy shrugged.

"You smell like royalty or something like that anyway... So, you shall be called 'Princess' as of today!" He told her.

Hinata wondered if he had realized that she would only be staying for the night. "But, would you be able to call me by my name?" She asked.

The boy stared at her. "Depends, what's your name?" He asked.

"H-Hinata Hyuuga." She answered.

The two stared at each other before he replied with: "Nah... I'm going to be calling you Princess... It suits you better..."

"B-But I-!"

"That name 'Hinata', it means 'a sunny place', right? No offence or anything, but you don't seem too happy to me... I mean, I've known you for a matter of, what, fifteen minutes or so, and I already know that you turn red at every gesture, have zero confidence and that you have no idea as to what hunting is and you seem to be used to your village life... To me, you seem like a walking aura of gloom... Yet, you also smell like... I don't know, but you smell... Odd... Like... It's a..." The rambling boy stopped there as he strained his brain, trying to find the right words.

"W-What is it...?" She asked.

"GYAH! Forget it! You just smell like it, okay?" He yelled, silencing Hinata. He took in a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Look, I'm leaving Akamaru here with you, okay? There is a pile of fire-wood besides you... So, make yourself useful and start a fire for when I'm back with the grub... Just make sure you don't burn the whole place down..."

And then, he was gone...

Hinata sighed as Akamaru walked over to her, licking her hand. She smiled as she stroked the dog's head. She began doing as the boy said and began to make the fire, though she had only made a fire during some survival training and she usually was in a group, she did an alright job at making it by herself.

Once she had finished building the fire, she sighed and waited for the dog's owner to return. She began to think about what he had said. Had she really been that easy to see through…? She hadn't ever thought as herself being unhappy, but what he had said really seemed to hit her hard.

A few minutes later, Akamaru suddenly ran to the opening of the cave, wagging his tail, barking happily. Hinata blinked in confusion at the speed that he had come back from getting food. She had thought that it must've been a rabbit or something like that, but as soon as he walked through the cave entrance, what she saw astounded her.

"Yo! I'm back with the catch!" He shouted as it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"U-Um… Is that a… Bear?" Hinata asked. Kiba stared at her for a moment before dropping the medium sized bear onto the ground.

"U-Um… Is that a fire?" The boy asked in a squeaky voice, as close to Hinata's own voice as he could get it. He sighed and in his normal voice he said, "Seriously, you must be the brains of your village…"

…Great use of sarcasm…

"N-No! It's not that, but… How did you possibly catch a bear that big in such a short amount of time…?" Hinata asked.

"Well, It's not exactly that big of a deal, really… I just sniffed out the closest animal I could find and I killed it… Nothing else, really… Oh! Right, Village Princess!" He replied.

"I-I don't really like-"

"EH? Speak up! I can't hear ya!"

Hinata just chose to keep her mouth shut. It didn't look like he was going to let her speak or let that name go so easily. So, she figured that there was no point trying to argue with someone like him. He was too stubborn and considering how many gashes were in that bear, she didn't want to get on his bad side.

The boy stuck a large stick through the bear, and put the stick over two stands that he placed on either side of the fire, and began to cook the large bear. He yawned as if he had done this thousands of times before.

Hinata stared sadly at the boy as she realized that she didn't even know the first thing about him – including his name.

"S-So," She began, getting the boy's attention, who looked as bored as ever. "How about we introduce ourselves properly…?"

"Eh…?" The boy asked.

Hinata squeaked. "U-Um, sorry! It was a bad idea…!"

"Nah… I just haven't had to do that sort of thing in… Well, I don't even know!" The boy explained. "So, how about you do it first? Sound good?"

"Oh um… O-Okay! M-My name is Hinata Hyuuga-"

"Also known as 'Little Miss Princess'!" The boy cut in.

"I um… I like cinnamon buns, but I don't like…" She paused for a moment. "Well, I-I don't feel like saying it at the moment… But, my hobbies are picking flowers and…" Another pause. The boy raised an eyebrow at her constant pauses. "Ninja training…"

The boy blinked and then burst out into a fit of laughter. Hinata stared at him in confusion.

"What is it…?" She asked.

The boy wiped a tear away from his eye and tried to hold in his laughter while talking. "It's hilarious! The Village Princess – training for something that isn't table manners!"

"B-But-!"

"Eh...? 'But' what...?" The boy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"One of my dreams for the future is to eventually be strong enough to protect those I care about... If I can accomplish that, then that's good enough for me..." Hinata finished.

There was a small, awkward pause until the brown-haired boy spoke up.

"That's quite a statement, Princess... Are you sure that someone like you is capable of something like that?" He asked with a large, toothy grin. "And you said it was one of your dreams for the future... What are the others...?"

Hinata went bright red and quickly pulled her legs in towards her chest tightly, clearly not able to talk about it.

The boy sighed. "Well, this is Akamaru!" He stated gesturing towards the dog, who barked in agreement. "But don't let 'im fool you... He's easily the strongest canine out there!"

Hinata's face returned to its normal pale colour as she tilted her head in confusion. "B-But... He looks so innocent..." She said.

The boy groaned. "See? Already you're underestimating him! That's a mistake!" He told her, Akamaru whimpering.

"I-I'm sorry!" Hinata replied.

"Anyway, the name's Kiba... I like hunting and my hobby is hunting... I guess that's pretty much all you need to know!"

"What about your future?" Hinata asked with curiosity in her voice.

"Eh? Do I look like a fortune teller to you?" Kiba asked. "The way I see it, you don't worry yourself over something that might never happen! After all, out here, you just try to survive another day and hope that you're not the one who gets eaten!"

Hinata stared at the ground. "T-That may be true but... Isn't an ambition the reason to survive...?" She asked.

"An ambition...?" Kiba said, tilting his head. "Well, when you put it like that, it sounds much cooler... But, I haven't thought about it..."

"Well, is there something that you've always wanted to do...?" Hinata asked as she looked back up at him.

Kiba stared at her for a moment. "What are you, a stalker?" He asked.

"N-No!" Hinata squeaked in embarrassment.

It was now Kiba's turn to stare at the ground, his face reddening slightly. Hinata swore that if she hadn't seen this sight with her own eyes, she wouldn't ever believe it. She was beginning to wonder if it was that embarrassing to say to her. It wasn't like she was going to tell anybody...

"Maybe... I want to..." Kiba began, muttering under his breath. "I kinda... Well..."

Hinata blinked. "Um... It's okay, Kiba... You don't have to tell me if you don't want to-"

"I WANT TO SEE YOUR VILLAGE!" Kiba said, obviously louder than intended. Hinata didn't even have enough time to process it before Kiba moved further away, drawing something on the ground with his finger in embarrassment, muttering to himself.

"Kiba-" She began.

"Just forget it!" He shouted.

"Kiba, it's fine... There's nothing to be embarrassed about..." Hinata told him reassuringly.

"JUST SO YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T MEAN IT HAD TO BE YOUR VILLAGE! GOT THAT, PRINCESS?" Kiba shouted, obviously not bothering to listen to her.

He sighed, calming himself down. "Can we just drop it now...?" He asked – no, it sounded more like a command...

"U-Um... Okay..." Hinata replied softly. It was at that moment, she smelt something burning and she guessed that Kiba did too with the way he reacted.

"Damn it!" Kiba growled as he made his way over to the burning meat. "Why weren't you watching it, Princess! It's all burnt now!"

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't know! Honest, Kiba!" Hinata defended.

So, the three of them had to deal with eating the burnt meat, as Kiba stated that it was important not to waste food, no matter how disgusting. It was slow eating the dreadful food, but Hinata was desperate... She really had no choice in the matter...

"So, is your ankle healed?" Kiba asked out of the blue, surprising Hinata with his odd behaviour.

"O-Oh! It wasn't hurt that bad, it was probably just a pulled muscle..." Hinata stated, trying not to be a burden by telling him the truth.

Kiba scratched his cheek with one finger. "So... That means you're leaving then...?" He asked, looking away from her eyes.

"Y-Yes... I don't want to bother you anymore... And besides, I have to prepare myself for the Genin Exam..." Hinata answered.

Kiba looked back at her. "So, that whole 'ninja training' thing wasn't just a terrible joke...?" He asked, Hinata swearing that she had heard concern in his voice.

"U-Um... No..." She replied.

Kiba sighed. "You're asking for death then... Don't you know that ninja die every day...?" He stated. Hinata blinked, hearing the concern more clearly now.

"Yes... But, if I didn't want to take that risk, I wouldn't have wanted to become stronger..." Hinata said.

"By the looks of things, you're too soft! Honestly, what kind of ninja would you be...?" Kiba asked.

...Now that one kind of hurt Hinata... It was like those words shot her right through the heart... It reminded her about her father... And Hanabi...

"I-I..." She didn't know how to answer that one... It was as if he had just stolen her dreams and crushed them right in front of her. She didn't even realize the tears that were crawling down her face.

Kiba flinched at the sudden sight, not knowing what to do. Akamaru whimpered beside him, as if to say to apologize. Kiba just rolled onto his side and closed his eyes. "G'night..." He mumbled.

"Mm..." Hinata hummed softly as she nodded – not that he would see it – and wiped the tears from her face. She also rolled onto her side, but the tears wouldn't stop – she couldn't stop thinking about those words... It hurt too much...

But in the end, she cried herself to sleep, somehow...

'Please say that you didn't mean that, Kiba...'

Author's notes:

Wow... I did not know that I was going to end it on a sad note until I wrote it down... I just thought that it was pretty good after I realized that I wrote it. Also, I'm more humour than sadness... So it was strange that it was so natural to write that last part. Huh. I must be an alien... I just haven't realized it yet...

Anyway, I was hoping to get more of a response for the first chapter, but whatever... It was the first one... And I know that people mainly ship Hinata with Naruto anyway... And that's fine! I do too! But, I also love this pairing too! Ugh! Whatever, I'm getting too anxious...

I would love it if I got some reviews... If you can, that is... You can even put one down for both of the chapters so far, if you want. I will love you forever if you will... You can even give me some constructive criticism too! I don't mind that! Just as long as it's not a flame! Because that will really bring me down and question my writing... Writing is like cake... Writing a review is like a cake topped with cheese – if you don't know this fact already, I love to mention cheese a lot, and you can tell mainly in my other Naruto story called 'Is this for Real?' which is my main story that I'm writing...

Yes, I just love advertising myself, don't I?

Anyway, once again, I would love to see some more reviews and stuff, guys! PLEASE! FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THINGS CHEESY! There, that should've gotten your attention...
