Chapter 3
Broken Hearts and Bonds
Well I ended up telling Kiba I couldn't go because of a "family thing" which obviously was a lie but he bought it. Sasuke and I were held back after class because Iruka wanted to congratulate us for tying at being the top rookies of the year. Sasuke smirked and I cheered of joy, we greeted Iruka farewell as we ran towards home because he were late "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Dad is going to kill us!" I shouted. We raced back to the house, when we came into the Uchiha district, it was surprisingly empty. Absolutely no light, no people, no nothing. We saw a man standing on a telephone line but he dissapeared. When we got to our house we came to see our mom and dad have been murdered. The door opened and it was Itachi, we ran to him and hugged him in relief to see him, "Brother! Mom and Dad have been killed!" Sasuke yelped. He grabbed us by the collar and threw us against the wall. As we collided with the wood, it reminded me of the pain my mother felt and I swore an oath to avenge my parents. Sasuke was infuriated by his own brother's actions. Itachi threw a kunai at us, purposely nearly missing our heads,
"There is no value in killing the likes of you two.. you foolish kids...If you want to kill me.. curse me.. hate me.. and live a long unsightly life.. run away... and cling on to your pitiful lives. We hugged each other crying as Itachi dissapeared in the moonlight. I started to get the same feeling I had towards that night my clan was slaughtered... The feeling of loneliness.
Sasuke became restless that week, He wasn't used to losing close ones, I on the other hand have lost many close people already. He trained harder everyday, he pushed himself to perfect the fireball jutsu Fugaku showed him. "Hey don't push yourself too far.. You're gonna pass out by the end if this week before exams." I calmy said as I put a hand on his shoulder. He turned around, his eyes weren't the same as before, before they were warm and welcoming eyes, now they were full of hatred and darkness. He pushed my hand off of his shoulder, "You think I can calm down after that? My parents, my clan, everyone has been killed off! You wouldn't know the pain I am going through because your bond wasn't tight enough!" I gave him a blank stare, "Nani? You think I haven't gone through this? My whole clan was killed as well! I didn't want to tell anyone because I was scared.. scared of people thinking me of as just a mere helpless girl. I sat there an watched as my parents were beaten to death! I hid my feelings well, I didn't take them out on anyone. I just decided to forget about it for the time being. But you! You just take it all out on everyone and everything you see! You let your feelings overcome and get the best of you! You and I are in the same situation, but it seems we both have different ways of taking all of it in..." He was infuriated, you could tell by the way his eyes were, colder than ever before. He stepped closer to me and slapped my right cheek, "Knock some sense into yourself! You make up lies just to sound like you are oh so smart and wise. You think you know everything about my life. No one in your life has severed the bond they had with you by killing off your family! Find a better lie before you tell it! You don't know how to mind your own business loser.."
I held my cheek as it throbbed in pain and sobbed, "Heh idiot! Before you go telling me off saying that I'm a liar, find the facts and prove I was lying. How would you know?! Exactly, you think you know everything! *tears began to stream down my face* when did you lose yourself? To the demon that is known as hatred, when did it overcome you? Your not the... brother... that I remember from when I first came here, I don't even know who you are anymore!" I ran away, tears streaming across my face. "Heh how ironic that i just lost the closest friend I had for the dumbest thing." I thought to myself as I ran to Ino's flower shop. The shop was closed and there was a sign taped to it, it said "Out for lunch! Be back in a jiff!" I kept crying till I thought of the next person to go to that popped in my mind. I ran to their house and knocked on the door, when he opened the door, he tried to greet me but was stopped by a thud against his chest. He close the door behind him as he led me up to his room, "Whats wrong?" Kiba asked. I stopped crying to look up only to find myself blushing, he was looking at me with the kindest eyes you could ever see. "S-Sasuke hit me" I replied. Kiba hissed, "WHAT?! WHY?" "Well we kinda got into a big fight." I explained the whole story as he growled. He seemed rather viscious and over protective today, but I thought it was cute when he was mad, "Dont worry about him, he was just mad... You guys will work this out, I just know it!" Kiba said as he brushed some of my hair out of my face and snuggled closer to me. I was now crying even harder into his t-shirt as he cradled and cuddled me. A couple minutes passed by, I stopped crying and looked up to him, my eyes caught his gaze and we stared at each other for a moment. I closed my eyes as I felt something push against my lips, I soon realized that Kiba was kissing me... I knew I should've stopped the kiss but I didnt want it to end. I gave in and kissed him back, "Hey your welcome to stay here for the night!" Kiba smirked as he released the kiss. I smiled and nodded as I drifted off and slept on his chest. He was so warm all the time that it amazed me, it must've been the dog genes. He felt better than a pillow, Like a self heated pillow! I laughed as I thought of random things that weren't as comfy as Kiba.
I woke up to find that Kiba wasn't there, I sat there for a moment missing his warmth. Someone came through the door, "KIBA! There is a clan meeting today now get up! Oh I'm sorry I didn't know Kiba had a girl over... Umm sorry I'll leave you two alone, tell Kiba for me that he's allowed to skip the clan meeting but only this one time! I'm Hana by the way." A girl that had long brown hair tied into a ponytail with the same tatoos on her cheeks like Kiba apologized. She must've been Kiba's sister. "Oh I'm Rei Yuki!" I smiled and waved. Hana left the room in a quick sprint, Kiba soon came back in, "Morning Beautiful! Feelin better?" Kiba asked as he put on his hoodie "Yeah! Listen, thanks for being there for me" I thanked. Kiba replied, "Anytime!" As he shot a wink at me, he continued "Nervous for tommorows graduation exams?" I nodded, "Definitely! I hope we all pass!" Kiba smirked at my comment, I playfully punched him on the side of his shoulder. He met my eyes gaze just like yesterday, his wolf-like eyes were so dreamy that it felt I was hypnotized. He leaned in for a kiss but I pushed him away. "Whats wrong babe?" He winked "Well first of all, the fact that you call me babe.. And second, I don't want to have a relationship with you!" I shouted. Kiba's eyes widened in shock "You're kidding right? First you want to kiss me than you don't want to.. Why don't you want to date me?" I flinched at the thought of what happened yesterday, "Because, B-Because I don't want to date the village bad boy! There I said it, happy?" Kiba paused "What? Where did you hear that from? But I can promise you I won't hurt you! I would never!" Kiba pleaded. I asked as I walked out and slammed the door, "How am I supposed to know if that's just an act?"
I walked in the park as I thought everything over, well first of all Sasuke hates me and now Kiba probably hates me too.. just then, I felt an arm grab me and the coldness of a metal kunai against my throat. I turned to see it was a man... It was Yin! "I have you now my precious. Come with me quitely and no one gets one word and this kunai goes straight through your throat." I felt another set of hands push me off of Yin, as I stumbled forward I managed to turn around to see Kiba throwing series of punches and kicks at Yin. Some of the hits managed to hit Yin, Kiba tackled him one last time and Yin flew backwards. Kiba turned towards me, he ran over and cradled me in his arms. Our eyes met and it was at that moment, I realized that I was in love with Kiba. Yin soon secretely got back up, ran towards kiba and stabbed him right in the back with a kunai. Kiba's eyes widened as he coughed up some blood and fainted. I flinched at the blood "No Kiba please dont die." I thought to myself as a tear fell down my cheek. I froze there and couldn't move for a second, "Fire style: Fireball jutsu!" I boy said as a ball of flames engulfed Yin's entire body. The fireball subsided, Yin laid there unconscious until the police force came in to take him away. The raven-haired boy walked up to me, it was Sasuke. "B-but why? After all I said to you!" I asked, "No I was wrong, you taught me to just move on with he moment when all I did was just that I kept remembering things I didnt want to remember." We soon took Kiba to the hospital to stitch up the wound. Kiba woke up 2 hours later to find I was there, "Hey there sleepy head!" I smiled as I greeted him. Kiba sat up and winced at the pain in his back, "Ouch... The things I do for a pretty girl. Oh wait sorry I forgot not to say stuff like that!" Kiba closed his eyes, thinking I was going to slap him on his cheek but he came to find a pair of lips kiss it. He put his hand to his cheek and smiled, "What was that for?" I laughed, "Silly it means that I trust you now... And I will... Be your girlfriend" Kiba punched his fist into the air and yelled, "YAHOO!" He gave my another kiss, but this time on the lips. Whispered into my ear, "I love you." I replied back, "I love you too."
Later back at Sasuke's house, I managed to conplete my first ice jutsu. I named it, Ice Style: Icy Barrage. I formed about 20-50 shuriken shaped ice shards in the air and I would fly them towards the target. Sasuke and I became like two peas in a pod once again and I finally felt like I had someone as a family member, and we all know I haven't had that feeling for a long time. Just 3 things bothered me that night. How was I supposed to explain to Sasuke that I'm dating Kiba.. the man that supposedly breaks ever girl's heart, Was I going to pass the graduation exam tommorow, and how was this going to effect Kiba's and Sasuke's relationship as friends? I laid there thinking about the possibilities until I fell asleep.
