CHAPTER FOUR

Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Ino and Ten Ten all stood talking and laughing in Naruto's living room. The rest of their friends should be there shortly. Naruto had loved the idea of having a get together and had imediately offered his house for the occasion. He didn't bother to ask what the occasion was, but the fact that both Hinata and Sakura seemed very excited and also slightly nervous gave him the idea it had to do with them coming forward about their relationship. His heart hurt a little, deep down, but he pushed it out of his mind knowing that what he really wanted was for Sakura to be happy.

'Please take good care of her, Hinata...' He thought as he gazed at the two who at the moment were sitting side by side.

They had agreed to not show emotions of love towards eachother just yet, as Ten Ten still didn't know about them being official and they wanted to tell everyone else at the same time. Tonight. It wouldn't be long though, as it was everyone should be on their way. It wasn't to be a very big or extravegant party. Just the whole group getting together and maybe play some games and of course eat lots of unhealthy snacks. Hinata just wanted it to be fun and relaxing and opted to not have an all out dinner. Naruto only argued for a moment before they told him he was still welcome to make Ramen for himself and anyone else who wanted any at any time.

There came a knock and Naruto went to open the door. It was Neji and Shino.

"Hey guys! Thanks for coming!" Naruto said with his usual grin.

Both nodded their hellos and walked in joining their friends.

"So, what's this all about?" Neji asked curiously, "It's not everyday we all have the honor of eachothers company."

"It was mine and Hinata's idea" Sakura began. "but we want to wait for everyone else before we say the occasion."

Neji and Shino simply nodded, both being content with the answer and each found a place to sit down to join in the current conversation.

Shortly thereafter others started showing up. Shikamaru, Chouji, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro (all three of which had been invited and only been able to show up last minute due to business that came up in Konoha), Kiba and Tsunade all arived fairly close of eachother. When everyone was in and sat down they all started talking.

"I want to thank you kids for inviting this old Hokage today." Tsunade said smiling at the girls.

"It's nothing Lady Tsunade..." replied Hinata "We all consider you a friend after all..." after everyone nodded their agreement "besides...our reason for this get together is kind of important to us, and it really sort of seems proper that you be here as you've taken us all under your wing in one way or another since you came and became Hokage." She smiled as Tsunade blushed a little.

"Oh you kids..."

"Alright so lets have it already." Shikamaru chimed earning a small nudge in the ribs from Temari's elbow. "Geesh...girls are always so secretive about things, aren't they? It's troublesome." Another nudge only this time not as hard. He smiled to himself. 'Woman you can be the most troublesome of all...though you almost make me want to welcome the trouble...almost'

Sakura laughed at him and said, "It's okay Shikamaru that you want to know what's going on. We'll tell you all know...if you're ready that is..." She turned to look at Hinata and her eyes sparked in a way that made Hinata's heart skip a beat. Both girls smiled warmly at one another.

"I've never been more ready, Sakura Chan." She gently placed a hand over Sakura's and closed her fingers around it. After another look at eachother giving both of them a bit of last second encouragement they turned towards their friends.

"Well..." Sakura began and then looked back to HInata, "I have a confession to share with all of you the people I care for most in the world...this woman beside me...Hinata...has captured my heart. I'm so in love with her I can't describe it to you fully."

No one said anything as Hinata took her turn to speak.

"In turn I want to make my confession in front of all of you, the people I've come to care for more than anything, that this woman next to me, Sakura, has also captured my heart and I fully and unconditionally return her love. I know that Sakura's heart is all I'm ever going to need...I love you so much Sakura Chan.."

"I love you so much, Hinata Chan." She pulled her lover into a warm kiss and each almost forgot that they still had everyone's eyes on them.

After only a moment though Hinata pulled back and both turned back to face their friends. Both Ten Ten and Tsudande had a hand to their mouth in awe and each looked like she might cry at the beautiful sentiment. The guys had somewhat different looks of awe on their faces which Sakura could only guess must have been the reaction of just seeing to girls kiss right in front of them. The only people who seemed to not take such notice were the few people who knew, and Kiba. Instead Kiba had a look of what seemed like frustration mixed with hurt and confusion.

Hinata noticed and stood up walking over to her teammate.

"Kiba...are you.."

"I'm fine!" He interrupted with harshness in his tone.

Sakura stood and came over as well.

"We really wanted you all to know because we love you Kiba" she said softly as she went to put a hand on his shoulder, but he jerked away before she could.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" He screamed at her. They had everyone's attention now.

"Yo, man...settle down...it's okay..." Shino said in attempt to calm down his team mate. He'd known for a long time of Kiba's feelings for Hinata and therefore this outburst wasn't at all surprising to him.

"No, man, it's not okay!" Kiba's voice had only lowered a little. "Don't you see? It's not okay!" He looked at Sakura again. "You don't ever have the right to touch me...and you ...you don't have the right to touch Hinata either!"

Time stopped as everyone heard the smack of skin on skin and Hinata stood there with her hand still at the ready after slapping him across the face. His eyes seemed stunned, but he resisted the urge to put his hand to the cheek he knew was red with both hurt and anger.

Hinata's eyes were forceful and showed no mercy. "You have no right to tell ANYONE what they can and can not do to me, Kiba. I have no idea why you hate the idea so much, but no matter what it is, I'm in love with Sakura! And if you ever, and I mean EVER talk that way to her again I swear, team mate or not, I'll never speak you again!"

No one said a word and you could've heard a pindrop. Kiba stood staring at Hinata who refused to back down from his gaze. Her own telling him without more words that she would not back down from this. Finally breaking off what had turned into a staring conest Kiba looked down not attempting to hide the tears that were now falling from his eyes.

"Kiba..." Sakura started again in another attempt to help her friend, but he interrupted her.

"If you hurt her...you'll live to regret it." and with that Kiba stormed out of the house before anyone else could say a word. The party more or less had come to an end.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Everyone had left Naruto's house except for Hinata and Sakura who thought it would be appropriate to wait until the last of the guest left before going themselves. They were currently helping Naruto to clean up the living room. The party had been fairly quiet after Kiba left. Everyone else asked their fair share of questions to the new lovers such as: So are you guys bisexual now or just all out lesbians?, When was your first kiss? Was it romantic? I've bet they've seen each other naked..you can tell by looking at them! Have you seen each other naked? Watch it Kankuro, that's still my cousin you're talking about and I don't need to know some things! Sakura and HInata took turns answering the questions...leaving out more detail on some of the more personal stuff. The last questions the recieved were privately from Tsunade in the kitchen who mostly just wanted the girls to know that they had her support and to let her know if they needed anything. Particularly Hinata as she had guessed her father hadn't been aware of the situation yet and no one expected him to take it well.

"Hinata Chan...you okay?" Sakura asked the girl who was currently sweeping but looked like she didn't even know where she was.

"He's been my best friend since we were twelve, Sakura...and I hit him...I might have just lost my best friend..." Tears started to form in her eyes and Sakura rushed over pulling her into a tight embrace.

"You were so brave...Kiba will come around...it will just take some time, I promise!" She used her thumb to wipe away a tear under HInata's eye. "I know you mean more to him than to let this ruin your friendship. Kiba's really too loyal a friend for that."

"But...why did he have to treat you that way? I just don't understand it?"

"And people said I was clueless..." Naruto all but mumbled to himself...then after seeing the glares he was getting at the remark and the fact that he was listening on their private conversation. "What?! Look...Hinata, I know how you felt about me...I've known for a long time and the reason I didn't say I knew is that I knew I wouldn't be able to say I felt the same way about you and I couldn't stand to hurt you like that. I also couldn't stand to hurt Kiba by giving you any false hope. The truth is that Sakura has always held my heart and probably always will...but it's not like no one was noticing you while you were dreaming of me, HInata...someone actually spent that whole time hoping and wishing that one day you'd get over me so that he could show you that deep down he really cared. That he was falling in love with his best friend..."

"Kiba..." Hinata whispered and Sakura pulled her head onto her shoulder as a single tear ran down her cheek.

"I know that you didn't like him yelling at Sakura Chan...hell, I wanted to deck him myself and I applaud you for being so brave for her...but at the same time you need to know that this is a huge thing for him. It was hard enough for him being afraid every day that eventually you'd come out of your shell and tell me how you felt...but now...not only has he lost all chances of having you...but he lost it to a girl...the very same girl that he knew I had feelings for since day one. I can only partly imagine what he must be going through, and that's only because I think I love Sakura as much as he loves you."

"I...I never knew...I never wanted to hurt him...I didn't know.." Hinata sobbed into Sakura's shoulder who was stroking her hair and giving her soft kisses on her head.

Naruto walked over and gave Hinata a kiss on the cheek and whispered to her but loud enough that both she and Sakura could hear. "I won't lie, Hinata...the thought that Sakura won't be mine is ripping me up at my very soul...but you are my comrad and very dear to me...man or woman...I know in my heart that no one in the world could treat Sakura half as well as you could and for that I thank you, Hinata...thank you so much...for..." his own tears had began to fall "thank you for giving my best friend the love that she wants and deserves. I can never repay you for that. Just please...please take care of her."

He turned away and put one arm over his eyes. This really was unmanly of him to let his feelings just go like that in front of the girls and he knew it.

"Naruto Kun..." He turned around to have Hinata throw a huge hug on him "it's no wonder why I could never help but to admire you..." she returned a kiss on his cheek for the one he'd given her. "I think part of you will always hold my heart."

Sakura was neither impatient or jealous as the two people she loved most in the world stood there and hugged. She knew that this conversatoin had been a long time coming between these two and that Hinata needed it.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Later that night Sakura and Hinata were back at the apartment. They had remembered to make sure the door was locked this time around even though it was unlikely anyone would show up at that hour. Ten Ten had called at one point knowing that Hinata was there and wondering if everything was okay since she'd been worried about Kiba's actions earlier. Other than that it had been a fairly quiet evening. When they first got there Sakura had hinata take her clothes off and then used Chakra in order to give her love a massage. Hinata purred at the attention Sakura was giving her and when the chakra would touch certain places she let out a small moan. Each time she moaned pushed Sakura a little closer over the edge, but she remained in control of herself. Tonight was all about the woman she loved. It was all about Hinata. Finally when she had finished with the massage Hinata rolled over onto her back revealing once again her front to the other girl who smiled fondly.

"Thank you, Sakura Chan...for everything...for being so patient...for not pushing me...and most of all for standing my my side. I know now that I really didn't know what love was until I let myself face my feelings for you. And I know that I'll never love anyone like this again as long as I live."

Sakura pulled her up into a hug gently stroking her bare back with one hand. "I remember in the first dream I had of us...when we were kissing I was thinking how right it felt...how right it felt to be kissing you and knowing that all the love in the world was behind it. The feeling of wanting and needing you was so real...but it came nowhere close to the reality of how I feel when we really kiss...when we make love...I've given you my very soul, Hinata, and you've given me yours. You are the most precious person to me and nothing will ever change that either."

Not being able to stand it anymore, Hinata pushed Sakura back just enough to where she could pull her top over her head. She put her hands at Sakura's sides just to the sides of her breasts needing to feel her soft skin and bent in for a passionate kiss. She silently begged for her tongue to be allowed entrance and Sakura allowed willingly almost being carried away in pleasure before her tongue joined in the dance with Hinata's. Hinata's hands made their way to the hem of the skirt Sakura as wearing and Sakura took the hint. She stood with HInata at the edge of the bed, never breaking off the passion kiss she quickly dropped the remainder of her clothing to the floor and sat back down so she strattled her girlfriend's lap.

"Sakura..." Hinata barely breathed her voice full of passion and lust.

"Yes, Hinata?" Sakura's voice was just as seductive.

"I need you...take me know...please, make love to me now!"

Sakura said nothing, but obeyed her lover's wishes.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

In the days that past, most everything seemed to go back to normal. Other than than the fact that now Sakura and HInata walked openly hand in hand in would sometimes give eachother quick kisses even in public if they didn't think it was too inapropiate. Hinata had fnally, with Sakura, Neji and Ten Ten by her side, come forward to her father about the situation which had gone surprisingly better than she had expected. Her father said he loved her no matter what, but that under the circumstances Hinata would be removed as the heir to the family clan and he thought it would be best in Hinata moved out of the compound. She knew he had certain things he had to live up to as clan leader, but at the very least he was still her father, and that mattered more to her than the thought of losing her position as his heir. She always thought her younger sister would be more qualified anyway.

Today Hinata sat alone in what as now hers and Sakura's apartment. Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi had been sent to the Sand village on a minor mission, however the distance itself to the Sand village would put Sakura gone for at least the rest of the week and she'd already been gone going on two days. Hinata sighed to herself. She wondered if it would always be this hard, but they both had known that eventually one of them would be sent on a mission and leave the other to wait behind, but that didn't make things any easier two days ago when her lover kissed her sweetly goodbye at the front gate of Konoha before turning and walking off with her team. She had gone and was just running her fingers over Sakura's side of the bed when there was a knock at the front door.

Walking over and opening it she came face to face with the last person still that she excpected to see.

"Kiba..." She wasn't sure what to say. He hadn't spoken to her unless he had to during one of their team training sessions, and even then very little since Sakura was usually along.

They stood for what seemed like forever across the door from each other, neither one spoke, but the looks in their eyes knew exactly what the other was thinking.

"Hinata...I'm...so...I'm so sorry." He finally burst out and she pulled him into the room and into a fierce hug.

"Shh...it's okay Kiba...I'm here...shh...it's okay..." Hinata was overjoyed at the thought that she hadn't lost her best friend. He had come to her and said he was sorry...their friendship was important to him. She felt a tear run down her cheek. She had decided to wait and let Kiba decide if this was something he could handle or not on pure hope that he would come around, and it was driving her crazy. Regardless of what she said to him before he left the party he was her comrad and her dear friend. Something that she cherished.

"Hinata..." he said a little more calmly and she looked at him. "I know that I can't change what is...but if I go through my whole life never doing this...I'll never forgive myself. Hinata you have always been so much stronger than you ever gave yourself credit for. Regardless of if you ever realized it, you've had the ability to make me weak in the knees since the day we met at the academy...you have no idea how happy and scared I was when we were put on a team together...I thought for sure it was my chance to finally be close to you." He started intently into her eyes.

"You don't have to do this Kiba...it's okay...I know" Hinata gave a warm smile.

"No..." he replied. "I have to. Hinata...I want you to be happy...even if...even if it's not with me. I ...I love you, Hinata! I love you so much it hurts!" He didn't wait for a resonse, but instead put his lips quickly but gently on hers. He didn't force anything into the kiss, but also put forth enough where Hinata couldn't push him away.

Slowly Hinata found herself relaxing into Kiba's arms and then she found herself actually kissing him back, much to his joy and surprise. Gently he brushed her lips with his tongue and she granted him access. All thoughts seemed to be gone from her mind and all she felt was the passion and pleasure of that moment. She moaned softly and Kiba took his hand up the the thin material of her shirt to grasp her breast causing her to gasp slighty before relaxing into his hand. She wanted this, she wouldn't deny that. For whatever reason she wanted it badly...could it be she was feeling that lonely with Sakura gone? SAKURA!

'Oh my God, what am I doing? Why can't I stop? Oh God, please...help me!'

Hinata pulled away from the kiss and quickly moved to where they were standing a few feet part.

"Oh my God, what did I just do? What did I just do?" She paced back and forth in panic.

"You just told me what I needed to know." She looked up and could see the look of want and desire in his eyes.

"No Kiba...I'm sorry...you caught me off guard...it...it was a mistake...I'm in love with Sakura!"

"All I'm asking for is right now, Hinata...just one night. Sakura's not here..." he had moved to her again and had both arms around her "she won't have to know...give me this one night...and I'll let you go forever"

"We can't, Kiba..." Hinata was almost begging.

"You know I won't force you into anything" he said while brushing light kisses down her neck, "but...please...I know you want it too...I can smell it you...please don't deny me this...I'm begging you..."

"Kiba..." it was all Hinata could manage before losing herself over to him. Everything was pushed from her mind as she let her best friend of several years show his love for her. She didn't think about the fact that they were in the same bed that her and Sakura made love in. She didn't think of Sakura. Instead she thought of her need and his need and the fact that they were both there. She gave herself to him fully.

Note: Wow, shocked at that ending? Yeah, I was sitting here for a while trying to decide how exactly the confrontation between Hinata and Kiba would go, and finally decided to take this rout. Don't worry...the story is still SakuHina, but it seemed things were going all too well even for my taste. Hinata sleeping with Kiba will add strain to her relationship with Sakura and there's always the matter of Sakura finding out and the two working their way past it. I hope everyone is enjoying the story!
