Quick A/N: Okay, the last chapter I left you with a cliffhanger. It will pick up in this chapter, promise. Well, I haven't had much time to update since Chapter 5 because I caught the damned flu. I have been sick and weak, and I am still not completely over it. I love to write and love that many of you out there are encouraging me, thank you. I love to write, and will continue. Sorry it has taken so long to update. Remember, Bold the person, Italics, is the person's inner self.
I do not own Naruto, but I have my dreams….
Chapter 6: Thought's Unveiled
Kiba walked slowly back to his room. He thought about what to tell Hinata, and thought best to only say what he had too.
But, she is my teammate, I tell her everything.
You don't have to.
Yes I do, she is my teammate, and who are you?
I'm your inner self.
Great, when I thought I was sane, I was wrong.
You have never been Sane.
Thanks.
Hey, you like Hinata, so why don't you catch her on the rebound?
What, like act like a shoulder for her, than she will realize that she likes me?
Yeah, girls like her always need a shoulder, and a person, to cry, and lay, on.
Perv.
Thanks, I take that as a compliment.
I didn't think I had a bad mind.
You don't, but you inner self does.
That doesn't make sense, if my inner self is me.
Whatever believe what you believe, and I think what I think.
Bye, you are confusing me.
Thanks, meany.
Whatever…..
Kiba walked straight past his room, then walked back towards it. He took a deep breath and entered. He saw Hinata was waking up, but her eyes weren't open yet.
He walked to the side of the bed and sat on the edge. He took some of the loose hairs that had fallen into Hinata's face and pushed them back behind her ears. His cold fingers touched her skin for a few seconds, and her eyes bolted open.
"You have cold fingers," Hinata said, tiredness being hinted in her voce.
"Thanks," he said, with a small chuckle.
"You're welcome," she said, sitting up more. "How long had I been out?"
"Not long, I went and found Sakura and Naruto," he started.
"Oh," Hinata said, looking down. Kiba used two fingers and put them under her chin. He then gently tipped her chin up.
"They aren't dating, Hinata," he said smoothly.
"Then why…?"
"Naruto caught Sakura, because of that major crush he had on her," he said quietly.
"Had?" she questioned.
"Yeah, we mentioned you name, and then he froze. Sakura made it clear to him that she would never like him," he pointed out.
"So, what is he thinking?" she asked, coloring rising in her cheeks.
"Nothing, we don't know. Ino is, doing something to him. But Hinata," he said slowly and quietly.
"What?" she inquired.
"He isn't good enough for you. No, not, like, in status, as in, he is a jerk, he has been paying a lot of attention to Sakura, and if you where to date him, you wouldn't really know him."
"I guess," she said, hurt in her eyes.
"I want you to be with someone that really likes you, for you. Naruto could come to like you, love you like you love him, but he is knew," he chuckled. "Having his brains scrambled.
"I don't want to know, do I?" she asked, laughing.
"No, you will see next time you go outside," he said laughing.
Hinata laughed again. Kiba looked at her, and thought that her cares about Naruto where true, but that she wanted to hide it, to lie about being fine. He then looked at her again, seriousness growing in his eyes. Hinata caught this, and stopped laughing.
"Hinata, give Naruto time, then he will realize he loves you," Kiba said, saying his hopes more than what he thought was actual reality.
"I hope so," Hinata said. She then felt muscular arms around her. Kiba had hugged her, and he realized she had been really cold. She put her head on his shoulder. Kiba sat there, hoping that Ino was giving Naruto what he deserved, so as that he would not hurt this precious girl that is in his arms at the moment.
To continue with the cliffhanger:
Sakura put her head against the wall, thinking that romance between her friends would make everything just a hell of a lot better.
She cautiously took step forward, and leaned her head by the door, listening, so that if she went in there, she wouldn't be messing up a total moment between the two.
She listened closely, and then heard the total opposite.
"I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU!" screamed Tenten's voice. Sakura smiled. She walked in, and saw that Tenten had thrown Neji across the bed, and started hitting any part of him that she could reach. They where on a big pile of blankets, reasoning why she heard the rustle of blankets.
"This doesn't look like what it is," Neji said, for his hands where on Tenten's head, in her hair, trying to pull her away from him.
"Ah-Uh, sure it isn't," Sakura said. "Tenten, off, you just got over a huge, near fatal injury." She glared at Neji.
"NO!" Tenten shouted. She had been reduced to putting her hands on Neji's chest, trying to scratch it up. Dang, she is trying to hurt him anyway right now. (A/N: hehe)
Sakura sighed, went over to Tenten and Neji, and pulled Tenten off Neji. She struggled, of course. Sakura sighed, again, and pulled Tenten onto the bed. She then put lines of chakra over her to strap her down. She then turned to Neji, anger showing in her eyes.
"What did you do?!" she shouted.
"I didn't do anything," he said, his normal, cold voice returning.
"The hell you didn't!" Tenten yelled. Sakura took a deep breath.
"Please, just tell me why you two where fighting, and not on the training ground," Sakura said.
"She overreacted," Neji started.
"But I wouldn't have overreacted if you hadn't said anything!" Tenten screamed.
"What did you say?" Sakura asked Neji.
"Nothing," Neji said.
"Right," Sakura said. She turned from him to Tenten. "What did he say?"
"He is a cold hearted bastard! Worse than what I thought he was!" Tenten yelled.
"Hn," Neji said.
"He is staying here, but not saying anything!" Tenten yelled. "I told him to say what he was thinking, but he wouldn't, all he said was…"
"Hn," Neji said.
"Yes, 'Hn' was all he said," Tenten yelled.
"Maybe he was thinking thoughts," Sakura said, already getting bored of this useless fight.
"Hn, like I think that useless shit," Neji said. He does have a point, he never does think about that stuff, or so what has been said.
"But he wasn't helping me, he was staring at me, and it looked like he was using his byakugan," Tenten complained. Sakura raised her eyebrows at Neji. Tenten knew when he was using his byakugan, so Sakura was wondering why.
"I wasn't suing my byakugan," Neji said flatly.
"Sure," Tenten said. Not knowing to her, Neji, or Sakura, the pain in her was just causing it to look like Neji was using it.
Sakura sighed, and turned to Neji. "Neji, where you?" she asked. Neji glared at her. She knew that was a 'no'.
"I won't believe him," Tenten stated.
"Neji, just tell us what you where thinking so that way we can get out of here and let Hinata come back in," Sakura said, exhausted.
"Hn," was all Neji said.
"Like he'll tell us, the bastard. He was thinking about naked guys, and ashamed about being gay, so he won't tell us," Tenten said.
"Good theory," Sakura said.
"Hn, that is not it, bitches," Neji said. Tenten and Sakura where stunned, Neji had never sworn at Tenten. "Not even close," Neji said.
"Then what where you thinking?!" Tenten said, loosing all restraint in not yelling.
Neji was getting mad. He wasn't showing it, but he was yelling in his head that they should just shut the fuck up and forget about it. Instead, he got a little mad, and blurted out what he had been thinking.
"I was thinking about that you are a GIRL, and talk a lot, and complain A LOT when injured, because they are mad it was THEIR fault!" he yelled. A yelling Neji is scary, very scary. Tenten stared at him; Sakura looked at him in awe, wondering how he could say something like that.
"You sick bastard!" Tenten screamed. She broke the chakra ropes, and tackled Neji. Tenten sat up, and punched him in the face. A bright pink spot started showing immediately.
"Tenten, NO!" Sakura yelled, trying to get in, with out hurting herself.
Tenten didn't even seem to hear Sakura. She stood up, and pulled three shurken out of her pocket, and threw them at Neji. Neji had finally stood up, and narrowly dodged the shurken. He took out a kunai and threw it at Tenten. She easily dodged it. Tenten moved to the right of Neji, and aimed some quick, powerful blows at his side. He didn't see this, and he flew a few feet, from the anger in Tenten's blows.
Neji quickly got up, but with a pain in his side. He took a step, and then fell to his knees, the pain in his side and just hurt even more. He was poor in medical jutsu and tried to very quickly heal his side. He knew he then broke his rib. He did as best he could in three seconds, then stood up and did an Eight Tri Grams, which Tenten couldn't deflect. She threw another kunai, and this time, it made a deep cut in Neji's left shoulder. Neji's shoulder had a searing pain, but he still was managing to use Gentle fists style on Tenten. Tenten was somehow, probably being the strong Konoha Ninja she is, held up, and was fighting back.
"Oh shit," Sakura muttered. She stepped outside, hoping to find Rock Lee or Neji and Tenten's Sensei, Might Guy. She clearly heard Naruto's shouts and cries, even through the very thick walls, that somehow the Hyuga's Byakugan could penetrate. She walked quickly, and saw Lee, for he had some to see if Neji wanted to train.
"Hey, Sakura-Chan," he said, with his signature smile.
"Enough with that, I turned you down the first damn time you asked me to go out," Sakura said darkly and coldly.
"What's wrong, youthful Sakura?" Lee asked.
"Look, Tenten and Neji are in a stupid little fight, you need to break it up, I am drained in power and chakra," Sakura explained.
"Or course!" Lee exclaimed. He raced to Hinata's room (aka Tenten's at the moment). Sakura slowly snailed behind. Mutter to herself, That boy has issues.
Yep, sure. Or he is going through puberty.
Ummm, guys hit that train years ago.
I know, but Lee, anything is possible.
That sounded wrong.
I know.
And you don't think thoughts like that unless with Sasuke.
I never did.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Whatever.
I won!
Yay for you.
I still think thought that it isn't puberty.
Look, this boy, look at him.
I am not!
Not like that.
You want to.
Look who's talking now about the dirty minds!
Whatever. Ok. I am not saying you are right, but whatever.
But honestly, I have a motto.
What?
Any boy under 20 that is going through problems, blame puberty.
Good motto.
I AM RIGHT!!
Once.
I am still celebrating.
Whatever.
She then realized that having this conversation, lead her to the door of Hinata's/Tenten's room. She opened the door, to see that Neji and Tenten where, once again, holding each other by the collar of their shirts, with Lee trying to separate them. Having no success, he started to put his hand son each of their face's and try then to pry them apart. They both bit the palm of his hands'.
Tenten then raised her knee up to Neji's stomach, and, adding extras chakra, nailed him in the stomach. Neji, letting go of her shirt, flew back, and hit his head against the desk in Hinata's room. He was nearly unconscious, and could barely see through the slits of his drooping eye lids.
Tenten then walked towards him, swaying her hips, thinking that at his eye level is only at her hips, for that he can't move his head. She thought that she could at least send him off with a good bye.
She goes to him, then bends over, bringing her eye level to Neji. She then slid her hand over his shoulder and was gonna knock him out. "I win," she said to him. She was about to squeeze her fingers, and knock him out, put he passed out. She then looked over questioningly at Sakura.
"What, the pain too much for him?" Tenten said, looking back at him. She stood up, and went and stood by Sakura, admiring her work.
"No, you didn't inflict enough pain to make him pass out from pain," Sakura said, walking over to him. She then put her hand over Neji's shoulder, and healed it.
"Why did you do that?!" Tenten yelled.
"Do you want him to bleed to death, don't answer that," Sakura replied.
"Tenten, shouldn't you be resting?" Lee suggested, seeing that Sakura was tired.
"Maybe," Tenten said.
"Go to bed, please. Neji needs to be wake up, and I don't want you to give him another fainting spell," Sakura said, obviously tired.
"Look, did I make him faint? If I did, then I will leave," Tenten said. She was a little pissy, Sakura knew, from the meds probably. Or maybe it isn't the meds, Sakura thought.
Sakura looked over Neji more, and then realized that he had been close to passing out, that if one insane thing would have happened, then he would be fully passed out, and that one thing was Tenten touching him.
"Tenten, you might be glad to hear this," Sakura said, standing up. She then started lifting Neji up on Hinata's couch. Lee realized she was struggling, and ran over to help. Tenten looked stunned at the news.
"What did I DO!!" Tenten screamed.
Sakura turned around, and sank into a chair.
"Well, turns out that he was near passing out, and turns out he could have passed out if you presser pointed him, but turns out that having your arm around him made him pass out," an exhausted Sakura said.
Tenten then jumped out of the chair she had just sat in. "What?!" Tenten yelled.
"Enough with that damn yelling," Sakura said.
"So he has a weakness," Tenten said.
"Probably, if something stupid like that made him pass out," Sakura said.
"Yeah, but he is gay, so that means it wasn't me," Tenten pointed out.
"He isn't gay. He just isn't used to girls," Sakura said.
"Yeah, any guy might pass out though," Tenten said.
"Lee, get over here," Sakura said. Lee, of course, rushed over. Sakura than linked her arm around Lee's shoulders.
"See, he hasn't passed out," Sakura said. She then pulled away, put she couldn't move her arm. She then waved her arm in front of Lee's face. He made no movement.
"This means nothing, Lee," Sakura said. Lee's face dropped, and she removed her arm.
"See, he didn't faint," Sakura pointed out.
"Close though," Tenten said. Lee soberly walked away.
"Sorry Lee, but I needed an example," Sakura said. Lee's face then lit up.
"It's okay Sakura-Chan. Bye Tenten; I'll come see you tomorrow if you can't train then. Tell Neji to meet me at the usual," Lee said. He then left.
"Issues," Sakura said under her breath.
"SO, can I go train?" Tenten asked Sakura.
"Hells no," Sakura said.
"Why not," Tenten whined.
"You just got over a near fatal injury," Sakura said.
"Well, so did Lee, a few years ago. He then went and saved Choji's life," Tenten pointed out.
"Yes, well, he was an idiot, and puberty was over his mind," Sakura said.
"I don't want to know."
"No, you don't. Just go to sleep, and you can train tomorrow," Sakura said.
"Fine," Tenten said.
"Are you going home?" Sakura said, sitting down in a chair next to Neji.
"Yeah, tell Hinata thanks for letting me crash here. Tell her too, that I am sorry for messing up her room," Tenten said.
"Will do," Sakura said.
"Thanks, the maids will be up soon. Where did Hinata go though?" Tenten asked a zombie like Sakura.
"I if I where to just say Naruto was being an ass, would you get it?" Sakura asked, sleepily.
"Yeah," Tenten said. She grabbed her weapons bag that someone must have brought up, and took her leave.
Sakura then fell asleep, Neji being awake the whole time, listening to their conversation.
Tenten walked out the compound, and heard yells, that sounded a lot like Naruto. She looked around, but saw no Naruto. She then heard his shouts from above her. She looked up, and then backed up, to see the top of the compound accompanied by non other than Ino and Naruto.
Even though it was dark, and the stars where popping out, she could tell that Naruto was hanging upsides down, and not happy. She saw Ino, actually heard, laugh, then walk back down the stairs. Tenten snickered, and then walked back to her house.
Tenten reached her house soon, and walked in, throwing her bag down, and falling asleep on the couch. She had no dreams, but thought of what Neji said, and knowing that Neji will only see her as the ninja she dreamed of being, and not the person that would love her, only he.

Hinata and Kiba had talked little, only Hinata crying softly in his arms. She soon felt foolish, wondering why she was crying.
"Kiba thanks, but I need to leave," Hinata said starting to get up.
"Yeah, sure," Kiba said. He then releases her from his arms.
"Kiba thanks, a lot. I really needed this. I know what you said about Naruto is right, but I guess we could be wrong."
Kiba then realized that he did care about Hinata, but she had a point. She was like the little sister he would never have. He cared, but knew that she would be right, if Naruto was lying. He knew that this girl in front of him really loved that kyubi. He realized that Hinata was no longer that little girl that was fighting so hard for her father's approval.
He brought her into his arms once more, and kissed the top of her head.
"Hinata, go, he deserves you," Kiba said. Hinata understood then his actions, and smiled.
"Thanks again," Hinata said, and quickly left. It was darker, of course, and she walked outside, not knowing where to find him. She then heard his yelling, and looked up, seeing an upside down Naruto swinging from the top of the compound. Her face went straight, remembering why he was up there…..
