Ch.3 Just Friends...?
2 weeks later...
"Here we are! My house!" Kiba says.
Sakura's mouth is in o formation. Why? Because the house is huge.
"You never told me you lived in a mansion!"
"Don't feel bad. I didn't tell anyone!" Kiba says shyly rubbing the back of his head.
"You've done a great job hiding the fact that your filthy stinking rich!" Sakura is still in shock
"I have, haven't I?" Kiba fumbles with his keys and sticks a key into the lock.
You can say that again! Sakura thinks to herself.
Kiba pushes the door open.
"Welcome to my home."
Sakura steps in.
"Wooow." She whispers to herself as she looks around.
"Come on dinner will be starting soon. Let's head to the kitchen." Kiba says holding Sakura's hand and leading the way.
"Ok."
"My mom is usually in the kitchen cooking around these times. I'd like you to meet her."
"Sure why not?"
As they enter the kitchen Kiba calls out...
"Mooom! I'm home!"
"Hello Kiba! How was your day?" Kiba's mother replies who is by the sink washing up dishes.
Kiba pulls out a chair for Sakura and she sits. He sits beside her in another chair around the kitchen table.
"It was great. I brought a friend over for dinner. I hope you don't mind."
"Mind? Never! I'm so glad you finally decided to bring a friend to the house!"
Kiba's mother turns around.
"Nice to meet you!" She says smiling widely. She wipes her hands in her apron then stretches her hand out to Sakura.
Sakura shakes her hand.
"It's nice to meet you to . I'm Sakura Haruno." Sakura says shaking Kiba's mothers hand and smiling.
"Oh no dear, I'm just 'Miss' now."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's fine." Kiba's mother turns back around and finishes washing the dishes.
"You kids go into the dining room. I'll bring the food out in just a minute." Kiba's mother orders them.
They get up to leave.
"Kiba, just a minute." Says .
"Yea mom, what's up?"
"Is she your girlfriend?" Asks Kiba's mother wiht a sly grin.
"No mom we are just friends." Kiba says blushing.
"Just friends? Are you sure?"
"Mooom"
"Ok, ok. I'll back off."
Kiba joins Sakura in the dining room.
"Your mom is really nice." Sakura says as she takes a seat around the dinner table.
"She really is." Kiba says.
Later that night after dinner Kiba and Sakura are sitting on the swings in Kiba's backyard.
"These swings are so cool!"
"My dad had them built for me when I was younger." Kiba says looking up at the sky.
"I see. You must have really loved your dad."
"I did, a whole lot and more but things didn't work out between him and my mom. My mom divorced him and I never heard from him again."
"Awww I'm sorry." Sakura says.
"It's okay. Umm...Sakura I was wondering if you, you know..."
"What is it Kiba?"
"I was just wondering if you'd like to be my girlfriend." Kiba looks Sakura dead in the eyes. For once Sakura doesn't look away.
Sakura smiles and holds Kiba's hand.
"I would love to." She says quietly.
Kiba smiles at her.
A cricket chirps and Akamaru's barking is heard coming from inside the house.
Sakura leans closer to Kiba, Kiba leans closer to her.
"Kiba!" Calls Kiba's mother.
"Mooom!" Whines Kiba.
"Oh I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?"
Kiba shakes his head. "Mothers..." He mumbles. "Kind of!"
"Sorry! I'll just leave you two alone." Says his mother in a sweet voice.
Sakura giggles. Kiba turns back to her.
"Now where were we?" He asks.
"I think I remember." Says Sakura as she leans toward him.
He leans toward her, and their lips meet, and Sakura knew she had finally found her immortal love.
