Recap

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shikamaru and Hinata arrived at the gate of the Yamanaka Household, they saw the gate was open so they walked in, they arrived at the door, Hinata saw Kiba's shoes on the door mat, a sudden feeling of fear built Hinata's mind. She reached for the handle and opened the door, she saw them. She saw Ino pressed against Kiba upon a wall.

Present (Kiba POV)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There we were, Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata and me, in the Yamanaka House. Everyone stood there in silence. Suddenly Hinata ran out, I ran after.

I grabbed my shoes as I ran; I didn't even get enough time to put them on. Hinata ran towards the park, I finally caught up, and got enough air to yell out her name.

'Hinata! Wait!' I yelled. To my astonishment she stopped, but she didn't glance at me or anything, 'Listen….um…'

I was cut off by her, 'No, you listen. Kiba, I thought when Naruto announced his relationship with Sakura, I would die. But you then popped into my life, and I thought maybe, MAYBE you can help me get over my heartbreak. I thought you wouldn't hurt me or disappoint me. But in the end, you hurt me in a way no one could. I trusted you and don't care if you say Ino came onto you. You could've resisted. I guess, you should have this back then,' she said as she reached for something in her bag, I couldn't see. Later she turned around and placed something in my hand, and turned around and walked away from me, from us.

I looked at the thing in my hand, it was the Hitsugaya phone charm, I took out my phone and removed my Hinamori figure and put it on a park bench, and walked away.

Time Warp to the beginning of the chapter, Shikamaru and Ino Situation (Ino POV)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kiba just ran out to go after Hinata; Shikamaru was standing in the doorway.

'Ino, your uniform…' Shikamaru said and I looked, the top two buttons were undone, so I quickly buttoned them up again, and I looked up and saw he had chocolates in his hands, I just realized what he came here for, and I felt my heart sink.

'Shikamaru, I…' I didn't get a chance to finish because he dropped the chocolates on the floor, and ran out of the house, I ran after him. I was crying, but he was a really fast runner, I ran and ran, I caught up and was only arms length of grabbing his school shirt, but I tripped and fell, but he carried on running.

I wanted to yell his name, but the concrete floor was really scratching my skin and my throat hurts from crying and running.

I watched him run back to his house, by the time I got up, the distant between us was to far to catch up with.

I just walked heartbroken back into my home, and sat on the couch. I repeatedly looked over the pictures we took on my phone. It was from our beginning to our end. Every happy memory I had of him was on my phone.

The Next Day in School (Kiba POV)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I knew everyone had more or less found out about the incident that happened yesterday, and everyone did, even the Senseis knew.

I walked in the form room, and the whole room became silent, everyone's eyes looked at me, I knew I was an asshole.

But the next person that came in really sparked awkwardness, the next person behind was Hinata, in the arms of Sai (AN: Sorry teanacute411).

I was really pissed inside, but I had no right to be mad, I was the cheater, I was the one who ended our relationship.

I sat on my chair, and I almost broke down, but then suddenly someone wrapped her hands around my neck, I turned it was Ino.

'Hey Kiba,' she said.

'Hey Ino,' I replied, my day lightened up a bit. It was obvious that now Ino were a half-official couple. She gave me a small peck on the cheek and when Hinata and Sai carried on talking, the classroom filled with chatter again.

But the chatter did not last long; it died when Shikamaru walked in with Kin. Ino's hands clenched into fists and she was squeezing the life out of me.

'Hey Kiba,' he said as he walked by. I greeted him, out of the four of us, Shikamaru was the only who acted like everyone was okay.

We were talking when someone who we did not expect came in, it was Itachi and his girlfriend, Rachel and Temari the three graduated last year.

Temari came in last, and noticed something was wrong, in fact, everyone in the room did, but all were hiding their expressions.

'What happened here Sakura?' Temari asked as she walked over to her.

Sakura went to explain to explain everything from the start and added some VERY private details.

'So now Hinata's with Sai, Kiba's with Ino and Shikamaru's with Kin?!' she yelled.

'That's the most disgusting couples I heard!' said Rachel joining the conversation.

'What are you going to do? They are obviously happy the way they are. Just like Naruto and I are!' Sakura exclaimed.

Temari stood up from her kneeling position beside Sakura

'What are you doing Temari?' Rachel asked.

'Isn't it obvious, I'm fixing this wrong situation!' she said. Being Temari, she was very loud Ino and I heard her, and so did the other two. She later whispered something to Sakura and Rachel that I can't make out, but the two had a satisfied look after Temari's little shout out.

'Ino, do you really think that we should be together?' I asked.

'Not really, but they obviously don't care,' she answered.

'Ino, I don't think I can do this,' I told her. Ino wasn't exactly happy about this, but she was very understanding and let go of my neck.

She whispered to me 'In case you didn't notice, Hinata was looking at you the whole time, and now she and Sai aren't together anymore.'

I looked up and saw, Hinata was listening to her iPod and Sai was drawing. The same happened to Shikamaru, or Kin had thrown her bag at Shikamaru and was swearing at him. I felt sorry for the guy.

At 8:20 am School started, I had Music first, it was the second last day before Spring Break. So Orochimaru-sensei or what he wrote in his notebook 'Mr/Mrs. Uchiha Sasuke' let us have a little Singing thing.

'Who wants to go first?' he asked. Ino shot her hand up along with Kin and Tayuya, 'So many hands, I guess I'll pick the loud blonde,' Orochimaru-sensei said, 'What will you be singing?'

'I think Way Back Into Love,' she said.

'That's a duet, you going to sing it with some one or by yourself?' Orochimaru-sensei asked. She looked around the class, but everyone knew and saw she missed the look of Shikamaru; it was a look of forgiveness one would think. I obviously missed it, until Sakura told me later.

'I'll sing by myself,' she said.

She got up and stood in front of the class, and started to sing.

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on

She had finished the girl part of the song, and was going to sing the guy bit. She was about to sing when suddenly a male voice sang, everyone looked and saw Shikamaru standing up and walking over to Ino/


I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

Everyone saw the look in their eyes, Shikamaru had taken Ino's hand into his own, and holding it. Everyone gave a little awwww noise.


I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

Shikamaru and Ino's faces were so close that their noses actually met, and their lips were only a few millimeters away. I felt happy for them, except I never can do that again, even if Hinata was their in arms length.


All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

By the end of the song, Shikamaru held Ino's hand, and one around her waist, and Ino leaned upwards and placed her lips against Shikamaru's. They had officially gotten back together.

'Shikamaru, I'm sorry,' Ino said.

'I forgive you,' he replied. The class clapped, even Hinata did. I heard from TenTen that she forgave Ino, and can't ever forgive me. I was hurt, but I knew I was the one who was wrong, and I had to face the fact that Hinata and I are never to be a couple again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a School Assembly

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Good Afternoon everyone,' said Tsunade. She was rambling on about the holidays, but she had a very disturbing announcement.

'The most exciting news of all, one of our students has won a scholarship, and she will be attending that school there the next semester, please applaud to Hyuuga Hinata!' she announced proudly and clapped.

Everyone around me, Sakura, Naruto, TenTen, Neji, Shikamaru and Ino disappeared, the only reason why I didn't kill myself was because I still got to see Hinata everyday, but now she was leaving. My heart sank six feet under. My dream girl actually, the love of my life was leaving me.

'Kiba…KIBA!' Ino yelled in my ear. I snapped into reality.

'Yeah?' I said.

'Hinata's leaving tonight for her new school, it's overseas,' Neji said.

'What are you going to do Kiba?' TenTen asked.

'I'll tell her how I feel, and see if she'll stay,' I said.

'She's probably going to be at the airport by 6:00pm,' Neji said. My heart broke, there was no way I could get the airport by 6:00pm.

I wished for a miracle.

'If you really want to catch her, Rachel and I can drive you,' said Itachi.

My prayed Miracle happened.
