"Thank you Mayumi-san! I feel much better now!" Mayumi smiled down at her patient. "You're welcome. You should get going before your parents get worried" he nodded happily and jumped of the examining table. "Don't worry about me! You should get home to." A blush grew across the young genin's cheeks. "Maybe I can walk you…" Mayumi shook her head no. "I still have a lot of work here." The young genin nodded sadly and left the hospital with a loud good-bye.
Mayumi sighed "Even if I wanted, I can't go home to my parents" "Why not?" said a voice behind her. Mayumi jumped ten feet "Whoa! Sorry to startle you Mayumi-chan!" Mayumi turned slowly to welcome the surprise visitor. "K-ki-Kiba" her blood rushed to her face as she took in his appearance. He was topless his jacket and shirt thrown over a nearby chair where Akamaru sat.
"What's up, Mayu-chan! Sorry to ask; but… can you fix me up?" He turned around to show a huge gash on his back. "Kiba-kun! What happened?" Mayumi gasped as she rushed to treat his wound. "You know your regular B rank mission." She finished the first step easily and the wound stopped bleeding. She rushed to the nearby cabinets and took out some supplies to clean his wounds.
"Take a sit" she said indicating towards the hard examining table. Kiba crossed the small room and sat on the table while facing the faded green wall. He didn't see Mayumi approaching him from behind till he felt her small hands on his back. Mayumi fought back a blush as she cleaned the wound, and was failing miserably at it. Once the wound was cleaned she did a couple hand signs and placed her hands on Kiba's tanned back.
Her small, pale hands looked out of place against his broad back. She watched as he muscles flexed under her fingertips and the light green glow emitting from her hands. After about five minutes she removed her hands and quickly turned back towards the cabinets so to hide her blush that now covered her entire face.
She listened as Kiba jumped of the table and put his shirt and jacket back on. "Thanks a lot Mayumi! I feel better than I have in a while!" She murmured a low 'welcome' and continued cleaning the cleaning supplies and throwing away the supplies that were not reusable. "Hey Mayumi?"
Mayumi jumped in surprise. I thought he had left! She thought as she slowly turned to face him. Kiba saw that a small blush covered her cheeks and chuckled slightly. She's exactly like Hinata. He remembered why he had called Mayumi and brought his eyes to look into her pink ones. "Let me treat you to dinner! As a thank you!" he practically yelled.
Dinner! Like a date?! I can't! I'll die of embarrassment! But I like Kiba-kun so much… What do I do? Kiba watched as Mayumi seemed to battle with herself whether she should go or not. He quickly became impatient and decided for her by grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the hospital before she had a chance to react. Mayumi snapped back to reality by the sound of Kiba telling Akamaru to go home since he was now too big to go to the with them.
She felt something soft and warm around her hand and looked down to see Kiba's hand around her. Her face turned as red as a tomato. "Uh, Kiba-kun" she muttered and Kiba returned his attention to her. He followed her gaze and saw that he was still holding her hand. He quickly let go, instantly missing the warmth it gave. His cheeks were decorated by a slight blush as he started walking towards the Barbeque place with Mayumi in tow.
Mayumi's blush didn't leave her face for one minute as they walked into the more crowed part of town. If anything it grew as they passed some of their friends. "Well, here we are" Mayumi looked up to see Kiba had led her to Barbeque place where Choji's group often frequented. I hope they aren't here tonight. What will they say if they see us together? Mayumi looked down, not able to meet Kiba's black eyes, and followed him into the restaurant.
"What you want? You can have anything you like!" He said, once they'd been seated. "I-i-i-I'll have what you have Kiba-kun" she stuttered. Kiba gave her a wide smile and other two mixed sets. "So, why can't you go home?" Mayumi looked at Kiba with confusion. "When I came in; you were saying you couldn't go home." She nodded, remembering his sudden appearance.
"It's not that I can't go home. It's that I can't go home to them…" she trailed off. "Them?" asked Kiba "My parents" she answered as her eyes filled with un-spilled tears. Kiba nodded but didn't question it any father seeing as how it was a delicate topic.
"It's getting pretty late I should get home. Thank you for everything Kiba-kun" She said as they stepped out of the restaurant. He shook his head. "It's too late for you to go home by yourself. Some guy might want to hurt a pretty girl like you! I'll walk with you!" Mayumi's face became cherry red He called me pretty! She hadn't heard much after that and nodded her head absently.
Kiba grinned as he took Mayumi small hand in his and started walking towards her house. He didn't know the exact location; but he knew the general direction. Mayumi was quite for a long time; Kiba looked out of the corner of his eye too see that her pink eyes were fixed on their connected hands. "You know" he got her attention since she turned her gaze to the back of his head "You're a lot like Hinata"
Kiba saw as Mayumi's blush left and her usual smile turned into a frown. "You like her a lot don't you? Miss Hinata?" Kiba realized his mistake and quickly turned around to correct his statement. He let go of her hand and she took that opportunity to run. I refuse to let my heart be broken again! She thought as she let silent tears wet her fair cheeks.
Kiba ran after her, surprised at her speed. He couldn't catch her; she was always just outside his reach. She didn't stop till she reached the door to her apartment and quickly took out her keys to open the door. A tanned hand stopped her and she turned slightly to see an out-of-breath Kiba behind her. "Mayumi" she didn't let him finish.
"Please. Don't worry about it. I have always been alone. Ever since my parents died. I wouldn't want you to think it's your fault. I'm used to i-" She was caught of by Kiba's strong lips on her soft, pink ones. She was startled and couldn't do anything other then stand there.
Her brain registered what was happening and she shyly kissed back. Kiba parted from her and brought her into a hug. "It's not Hinata I like. It's you. You don't have to be alone any more." Kiba felt her go limp in his arms and looked down to see that she had fainted! "Mayumi?! Mayumi!" He started shaking her not knowing what else to do.
Mayumi opened her eyes slowly "Kiba-kun?" Kiba stopped shaking her and put and arm around her waist to support her weight, one she didn't notice. "Thank you" she whispered "For what?" she had confused him "For caring" she finished. He chuckled and she felt it shake his body and noticed his arm on her waist for the first time; making her faint all over again. "Mayumi? Ahh! Mayumi, wake up!"
