I'm so very happy! Some anonymous reviewer gave me such fine compliments! Thank you NEJITEN or Ama Kudari! (If I spelled it wrong, you're welcome to sue…no, actually please don't...)
I have the courtesy of allowing my readers to decide the pairings on this fic…but please, many people want many different pairings, so I can only piece together some people and some people.
For example, some people got mad because I made this fic. NaruxHin in the beginning…I changed it to Narux.Saku…happy? I also changed it to KibaxHin…
NOTE: SERIOUSLY, WHEN YOU SEARCH THE SETTINGS FOR THE STORY INFO, I JUST PICKED TWO MAIN CHARACTERS IN THE FIC. THE TWO CHARACTERS DOESN'T NESSICARILY MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAIRED OFF IN THE FIC!
Truth or Dare Chapter 4
Hinata blushed and gulped, nervously.
It was her turn and she decided, since everyone else was humiliated and disgusted at their turns, this was obviously a dangerous game to be playing…
"Truth or dare, Hinata." Shino said.
"T-truth…" Hinata stuttered after a few seconds. A dare is way too dangerous.
Sakura stared at Kiba, who she expected was going to jump up and ask a cheese question again, but this time, he just sat there, rubbing his chin thinking.
Sakura sighed in relief.
Suddenly, Kiba rose from his seat and held up a I've-got-an-idea finger. Sakura resisted her urge to bonk him hard on the head but this time, Kiba said something that was in which, normal.
"Hinata, tell every single person in this room your true feelings about them!" He said, acting like a genius. Akamaru barked and everyone else nodded their heads in agreement… (Oh, just so you know, Ino and Shikamaru are STILL making out…but they're stop by the end of this chapter, ok?)
Well, everyone except Hinata, that is…
She was scared out of her wits. True feelings? Oh no, does this mean I'll have to tell Naruto-kun my true feelings for him? (EGL: note, again, this story is NOT NaruxHin, so don't freak out and burn up your computer when you read that sentence…this is a KibaxHin fic…no complaining)
Hinata blushed furiously and twiddled her fingers, while everyone stared at her, waiting for an honest sermon.
But Hinata just sat there…she had never said anything mean to anyone in her entire life! How was she supposed to dig out those true feelings for everyone, without having them hate her?
Hinata gulped.
Shino raised an eyebrow.
"Um, Hinata-san? Aren't you going to start?" Sakura asked.
"Yea! Please hurry along!" Lee urged.
Hinata blushed and looked down…was this it? Were Hinata's true feelings about to be revealed to the public for real now? (I doubt so, because there are probably a billion fics on fanfiction where Hinata revealed her true feelings, but still…)
"Ok…" she started. "B-but first…"
"Yea?" Naruto asked.
"Yea?" Chouji asked.
"Yea?" Kiba asked.
"Bark?" Akamaru asked. (Can you guess what he said?)
"Y-you must promise…" Hinata stuttered. "…T-that by the end of t-this, you won't h-hate me…"
Everyone stared. This is going to turn real ugly…
"Sure." Everyone agreed.
Hinata gulped and started…she turned her face to Sakura and started…
"Sakura-san…" Hinata started. She blushed and gulped (Yes, again…)
Sakura smiled her pretty smile and looked at Hinata. Her green eyes were shining and eager. Hinata winced slightly. Ugh, look at that fake smile she's giving me… Hinata thought.
"Ok…" Hinata exhaled. "Sakura-san…"
Sakura waited.
So did everyone else.
"I think you're too absorbed into your looks." Hinata said. "You apply way too much makeup and spend all your time grooming and shopping."
Sakura looked a bit surprised.
Sasuke snorted.
"And also, you are so obsessed with Sasuke! I mean, what's up with that?" Hinata pimped on, her voice getting stronger. "Why do you think that damn blockhead Uchiha is so great?"
Sakura gasped. What's going on with Hinata?
Everyone's eyes grew wide as Hinata droned on.
"Speaking of Sasuke…" Hinata continued, planting her hands on her hips, turning her head towards Sasuke. "Why are you so cold to everyone? I understand losing your parents is hard, but you don't see all those other orphans grieving everyday!"
Sasuke's eyes twitched.
"Stop thinking you're so cool! You insult everyone and try to block all these friendly people out of your lives!" Hinata continued, starting to get into this.
Everyone seemed quite surprised.
Hinata turned her head to Chouji. "And you! Why don't you ever stop eating potato chips? Whenever I see you, you're snacking on something! UGH!"
Chouji winced… "Hinata?"
Hinata scoffed, all signs of nervousness gone. "The continuous crunching is really getting on my nerves!"
Hinata whirled her head at Lee, her next target. Lee looked quite scared at what she's about to say at him…this was Hinata's dark side!
"Lee!" Hinata said. "Lee, Lee, Lee!" she started, voice starting to get louder.
Lee gulped. "Yea?"
"Why are you so into Gai-sensei? Its like 'Gai-sensei' and 'Gai-sensei' 24/7. Do you talk about anyone BESIDES Gai-sensei?" Hinata asked, sticking a finger in his face.
Lee gasped and quickly shook his head to get that horrible suggestion out of his mind.
Everyone was shocked.
What happened to that peaceful Hinata everyone knew a minute ago?
"And, speaking of Gai-sensei's team…" Hinata went on, facing Tenten. "You act like such a kid sometimes! Always talking in a kid voice! And why do you keep following Neji's commands? Get your own independence…!"
Someone should get this girl a talk-show…
Tenten's eyes grew wide and she twitched with fright.
Hinata planted her hands firmly on her hips. "And why do you always put your hands on your hips like this?" Hinata mimicked her. "IT'S ANNOYING!"
Hinata has left the building.
"And you, Neji!" Hinata said, whirling around to face her terrified cousin. "You're so bossy! Always the leader of the mission and always telling people what to do! And what's with you and 'fate' anyway?"
Neji almost blacked out…
Hinata scoffed and turned to Ino and Shikamaru were still making out…
Hinata sweatdropped along with everyone else. "Er—forget you guys." She turned her back on Ino and Shikamaru.
Her eyes fell upon her teammate, Shino.
Shino raised an eyebrow behind his sunglasses.
"Shino! Why are you so quiet and silent?" Hinata asked daringly.
Shino raised a finger about to say that Hinata was the same way, but kept his shut-up-and-let-this-bitch-finish pose…
"And your bugs! So many bugs! You're so disgusting sometimes!" Hinata said.
Shino gritted his teeth. What the hell?
Hinata faced Naruto afterwards and paused…
Everyone watched.
Hinata's heart thumped wildly. Was she about to tell Naruto that she liked him? Is this it? Silence filled the room as Naruto braced himself for a lecture by Miss. TV Personality herself… (AKA, Hinata)
Hinata gulped. But this big empty space in her heart told her something…
Was this really her guy?
Hinata frowned while everyone watched, amazed.
"Naruto-kun." Hinata said. "I wish I could tell you how much I've admired your spirit. You are a truly brave, astounding hard working man."
Everyone frowned. Of all the people, she has to say something nice to him? They thought in their minds. Grrr…
But Hinata wasn't done. "But…you tend to get on my nerves, always complaining about missions, being jealous of Sasuke and even pulling pranks on people."
Naruto's smile disappeared.
And everyone else smiled. Much better.
Hinata finished her lecture about Naruto and finally, turned around to Kiba…
"Kiba-kun." Hinata started, her face serious.
Kiba waited his face down.
"I've really got nothing to say." She said, a sympathetic look on her face. "But what gives me the right to say something to you that changes how you think about me?"
Kiba looked surprised.
So did everyone else.
"Is it amazing discovering your flaws in the eyes of another person?" Hinata asked, her speech going from amazingly rude to totally calm and touching… "What gives me no right to call you a loser."
Kiba paused and said, "What does that have to do with anything?"
Everyone nodded.
Hinata closed her eyes. "I don't know. But all those things I said…can we all be affected by words of a lesser person?"
Great. Hinata's veigh of terror has gone from completely horrible to completely confusing…
"I guess what I'm saying is that…" Hinata blushed. (YAY! SHE'S BACK!) "I like you."
…
…
…
Silence filled the room when Hinata admitted her feelings.
Everyone gaped and stared while Kiba just looked shocked and stared at Hinata. Her eyes told him the truth. Yes, she meant what she said.
Kiba smiled while he got up from sitting down. Hinata looked at him, half expecting him to walk away.
But instead, he hugged her.
Hinata looked a bit surprised and they filled with tears…
It was a summer kinda love.
…
NOW WE GET BACK TO THE STORY!
Next target for humiliation: SHINO!
End of chapter.
That speech Hinata gave everyone while looking at Kiba…I didn't get it anywhere else. But I made it up at the brink of my mind. Here's the full version (yes, I actually wrote it down) What does the speech mean? Absolutely nothing. Again, I wrote this at the brink of my mind…it's not supposed to make sense…
Humans aren't that great.
We're just moving mounds of flesh.
What gives us the right to say something that changes how you think of me?
Isn't that right?
Is it amazing to discover your flaws in the eyes of another person?
What gives us the right to call each other a loser?
Can we all be affected by the words of a lesser person?
You have no right to call me a person.
But can we keep walking?
