Hinata's body jerked awake violently. Her breathing was rapid and uneven as her heart pounded in her ears. The dream seemed so realistic, as if the assassin could cause harm to her. The Hyuuga softly traced her cheek where Marluxia had touched her. She jumped as a loud knock came from the wood beside the sliding door.
"Ye-" Hinata's voice was cracked with the panic and fear from her dream. She cleared her throat so she sounded like the heiress she was. "Yes?"
"Milady, Kiba Inuzuka has arrived to escort you to Shino Aburame's welcome home party." The smooth voice of one of Hinata's ladies came through the paper door. Hinata's lavender eyes darted to the open balcony door, the sun just past its midpoint in the clear skies.
"What time is it?" She asked as the lady to the heiress opened the door silently. The young woman smiled at seeing the heiress, holding fresh clothes in her pale arms.
"It's just a little past noon milady." Hinata jumped out of her bed at the words 'past noon'. In record time the young heiress was dressed, groomed, and taking the steps two at a time. She flew past Neji and tried to stop at the door, only her momentum didn't allow it.
"Fudge!" Hinata yelped out as her head collided with the door. She fell backwards onto her well rounded end, sending a slight jolt of pain up her spine. The door opened quickly afterwards and Kiba's canine eyes looked down at his teammate. Akamaru peeked in behind his master, tilting his head to the side in confusion.
"Are you okay Hinata?" Kiba asked as he grabbed her hand. With a firm tug he was able to help the blushing Hyuuga to her feet.
"Yes Kiba, thank you." Hinata said with a soft smile as she slid her blue sandals on. Kiba's eyes went southward as she bent down to put them on. He grinned to himself before looking up, feeling someone watching him. A slight pink found its way onto his cheeks as Hinata stood and faced him.
"Anytime. Now let's go!" Kiba said while trying to cover up his blush as Akamaru stood from his sitting position. Hinata let out a short scream of surprise as the Inuzuka grabbed her by the waist and lifted her onto Akamaru's back. Kiba easily leap on his dog behind the Hyuuga. One arm wrapped around Hinata as the other held onto Akamaru. Hinata blushed a dark shade of red as she fisted the white fur just tight enough so she wouldn't fall off the giant dog.
As the trio sped through the bustling streets of Konoha, a few bystanders getting knocked aside if they didn't move out of the way fast enough, Hinata found herself drawn to the blossoming cherry trees. The soft, pink petals swam in the air with the gentle breeze. The young heiress narrowed her lavender eyes, their color reminding her of her dream and that assassin. The sooner they got to the Aburame Clan community the sooner she could forget it.
"Surprise!" The air was filled with shouts, some clan members already drunk by the slur of their words, and some barking from the giant dog in the middle of the throng. Brightly colored confetti splashed Shino in the face. He hid more in his coat to hide his smile at the antics of his clan. Most would never guess the cold Aburame Clan were social butterflies and party animals in the safety of their community walls.
Shino felt his body hit the ground roughly as Akamaru bathed his friend in his slobber. Hinata smiled as her silent teammate stood, after pushing Akamaru off and petting his head, only to be tackled to the ground by his best friend, Kiba. There was a loud roar of cheers as the music started and the sake that wasn't drunk by the more egger clan members was opened.
Hinata made her way over to Shino as he pulled away from Kiba and his brotherly hug. "Welcome home Shino." She said while softly wrapping her arms around his torso. Shino smiled under his collar as he returned the hug. As they parted an Aburame passed them, carrying a tray with many types of sake.
"Thank you Hinata," He said grabbing a cup from the passing tray. "It's good to be back." Hinata gave him a smile and bowed slightly before walking away. She didn't want to leave him just yet but her stomach was demanding food. She was thankful for the loud music because it drowned the sound of her roaring belly. Just as she went to grab a bowl of miso soup Kiba grabbed her by the hips and pulled her to the large, open dance floor.
"Conga!" He yelled earning cheers from the Aburames as the quickly joined in. Hinata gave a nervous laugh, tonight was going to be a long night. She reached out and grabbed a sake bottle from the same Aburame that passed her earlier. Might as well help the night along.
Hinata snorted in laughter as she leaned heavily on Kiba, who held her by the waist to make sure she didn't fall. Akamaru fallowed behind the couple, still not sure on why the Hyuuga was still laughing.
"And then he said," She couldn't finish her sentence as giggles escaped her, stopping in the walk back to the Hyuuga mansion. She looked up at Kiba with glazed eyes as she brought her hands up to trace the marks on his cheeks. "I had fun tonight. That and you're really hot." Hinata slurred causing Kiba to freeze. He was shocked at her words, having always liked her since the academy. But it was clear the shapely woman at his side was drunk off her rocker.
"You're d-"
"Kiss me." Now that shocked the Inuzuka, along with the tone of her voice. The beast inside him roared at him to do what she wanted but he wouldn't feel right if he did in this state.
"You don't know what you're asking for. Ask me when you're sober."
"But KiBA!" The last syllable of his name came out as a scream as Kiba threw her over his shoulder. Akamaru barked at his master's rough handling of the heiress but the Inuzuka gave his dog a grin.
"Let's get the little heiress home." He sang as he continued the walk back to the Hyuuga mansion. Hinata blushed darkly, from both the embarrassment of being carries and the alcohol.
The young heiress smiled up at the angled face of Kiba as he softly placed her on the covered of her futon. She let out a soft sigh as he placed a tender kiss on the crown of her head. As he stood to leave Hinata grabbed his sleeve.
"I love you." She spoke softly causing the Inuzuka to turn, a sad look in his black eyes. Kiba bent back down and placed his lips to her forehead.
"Love you two, Hinata. I really do." He whispered against her skin before giving her another tender kiss. Hinata watched him leave with lazy eyes. Her last thought before darkness consumed her was that Saukra better no start throwing herself at her Kiba.
