Chapter Two: Sleepless nights.
After that night, Hinata didnt see Naruto for 7 weeks. he was very busy with his new ANBU missions and was always out of the village. she worried about him all the time.
hinata went out to take some fresh air. she went to Konoha central park there where she met Kiba. "hey kiba! can I join you?" said hinata with her innocent smile on her face. "hinata! it has been so long!" said Kiba exited as ever. Kiba always had a crush on Hinata and it killed him everyday to see her suffer because of her love to nartuo and it killed him to see that naruto never noticed hinata and how beautiful she was and how she loved him unconditionally. kiba never had the courage or guts to tell hinata that he loved her, he didnt want to ruin their friendship.
they walked calmly around the park. Kiba picked a purple tulip from the bushes and gave it to hinata. her cheeks turned slight pink color. "Ano, Hinata, how have you been? I mean with naruto always out of the village? he is so busy we dont even see him around anymore, it has been so long. i heard that we will be sent to suna and will not return anytime soon, not as ANBU of course. they never talk about their missions. but i heard that it was something for the two villages" Hinata's eyes grew wide for a moment when she heard that naruto wont be here. "im fine kiba, thanks. but who told you about this?"
kiba told her that he heard it from sakura when she was talking to tenten at the practice ground where they spent some time training all together. Hinata was very sad but she didnt show it, instead she faked a smile to change the topic and not show that she was hurt. even after all these years nothing really changed. it was always the same. he didnt notice her love towards him.
she remembered the two days they spent together, a tear was going to escape from her eyes but she forced herself not to cry, especially in front of kiba who is very caring to her and she knew that he hated naruto for doing this to her.
it was not too long when they came to notice that they were walking and they ended up in the forest outside the village. they didnt notice where they were going.
"ne Hina-chan where are we?!" said kiba looking around not understanding how did they end up there. "oh umm we must have walked and not notice where did we go, we should go back kiba, by the time we reach the park it will be late already"
they walked back, suddenly kiba took hinata's hand which made her blush and surprised. "Hinata, I hate naruto for making you suffer so much, you can lie to yourself but you can never lie to me. i see it in your eyes. you are so hurt." Kiba said that and his face expressions were showing how sad he was for hinata and hurt he was looking at here suffer and he cant do anything. his eye were sparkling and showing all the love he had. Hinata could easily read his eyes, she saw how loving his look was. how his eye were full of love and hurt at the same time. his expression very calming. Kiba leaned over Hinat slowly and placed a soft gently kiss on Hinata's lips tasting them, feeling them. *so soft and gentle* was everything kiba thinking of at that moment. Hinata's eyes grew wide in shock. she didnt know what to do. Kiba noticed that Hinata didnt give in when he was kissing her, she stood there still, not moving an inch. he broke the kiss and looked her in the eyes. "Hinata, you are so beautiful, I never want to see you suffer, i hate that you are so madly and hopelessly in love with naruto. i hate that he doesnt pay any attention to you! Hinata it kills me every day to see you work so hard and yet, he never gave in! HINATA I LOVE YOU!" kiba said it, he finally did. * I said it! I finally told her! i dont really care about anything anymore, i told the only girl i loved that i cared for her. her lips so gentle and soft. they taste like cherries no better than that it was like heaven* Hinata never expected that from kiba. she stood there in silence. she didnt know what to do, her best friend kissed her and told her that he loved her more than a friend. she was confused and scared she only wanted to crawl under her blanket and sleep and wake up from the weird and vivid dream that she had. Hinata told him to take her home. she didnt give him any answer other than that. Kiba realized what he did but he felt happy, he felt like his heart is finally beating again. he dropped her home and before she went it he grabbed her gently and placed a kiss on her forehead "Hinata, I'm sorry if i scared you and im sorry if i hurt you in any way. just know that i love you and i will always be there for you, even if you still choose naruto over me. i just want to see you happy. i dont want to see you cry anymore. take care of yourself, good night" he gave her a tight hug and let her go.
That night hinata couldnt sleep. she kept touching her lips thinking about what happened earlier. she thought about naruto and kiba. she kept thinking about how her first kiss wasnt naruto. she sighed and tried to sleep. but she never did that night.
Hinata didnt get out of her room after that incident. she preferred to stay home so that nothing more will happen to her. from that day, the day placed his own lips on hers. Hinata coudnt sleep, she couldnt think straight. she waited for naruto at her room to come back. every night counting the stars and tears falling from her lavender eyes.
her heart ached so badly. Hinata sat there waiting and waiting in the dark, waiting for her sunshine her naruto. she dreamed about his sky blue eyes which sparkled every time she looked at them. his golden locks that took her breathe away. his voice which could make her smile. she smiles on the thought of him, but every time she remembered that he was far away and that she didnt know if he felt anything towards her, tears would fall and her heart ached so bad that she felt like her soul was separating from her body, she would cry and gasp for air. her vision blurry from tears, her voice calling his name, "naruto... naruto.. naruto please come back to me I.. I... I need you!" Hinata would cry and call out his name to the skies hoping that anyone anywhere will hear her and take her to him or bring him to her. and like that Hinata cried herself to sleep every night.
