Chapter 7: I Love You More!
Short Chapter
Kimiko walked down the long market street. Kiba walked behind her. They were shopping for groceries. After this they were going to go shopping, then to the park.
"All done!" exclaimed Kimiko,"Let's take this food back to your house!".
Kiba nodded. They walked back to Kiba's house. They were walking down his street, when who would be walking their way, but Shino. Kimiko waved to him.
"Shino! What are you doing here?" asked Kimiko.
"Well Kiba didn't come meet me yesterday, so I came to look for him, but he wasn't home" explained Shino.
"We were out shopping" stated Kiba.
"I see" muttered Shino, then turning to Kimiko,"Do you mind if I talk to Kiba alone for a minute?" asked Shino.
"Not at all!" exclaimed Kimiko, smiling. Shino and Kiba walked into an alley.
"What is it Shino?" asked Kiba.
"I have a propostion for you" stated Shino.
"Go on" muttered Kiba.
"The first one to confess his feelings to Kimiko gets her, and the other one must give up" explained Shino.
"Deal" snapped Kiba. They shook hands on it, then rejoined Kimiko.
After putting the groceries away, they headed to the shopping district. Kimiko was looking in lots of the windows of shops. Kiba and Shino walked after her, occaisionally glaring at one another. They had tried several times to tell her already. Each one foiled by the other person. They were almost finished shopping by now. They decided to go to the park. By this time it was already sunset. Shino, Kimiko and Kiba all walked through the park. Suddenly a ball bounced past them.
"Mummy I wost my ball!" yelled a liitle girl, bursting into tears. Kiba ran down a hill after the ball. Shino seized the opportunity, and grabbed Kimiko by the shoulders.
"Kimiko, I have something to say!" exclaimed Shino.
"You've been trying all day haven't you?" asked Kimiko.
"Yes... and I just wanted to say.. how much I love you" said Shino, leaning in and kissing her. Kiba gave the ball back to the little girl, then turned and froze at the sight.
"Fuck... I was too late" muttered Kiba. Then he ran off.
Kimiko pulled away from Shino.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I-I don't know... but.. I'm sorry Shino.. I..." stammered Kimiko,"I-I like you I really do but... I need time...".
Shino nodded, "Sorry for pulling you into that" he said.
Then he turned and left. Kimiko sat there until the sun went down.
"I better go cook for Kiba" she muttered, then standing, and making her way back to Kiba's house.
She opened the door and entered his house. She peered into the lounge room to find Kiba lying down on the couch. Shirtless as usual, he was throwing M&Ms up in the air and catching them in his mouth.
"S-shall I get dinner started?" she asked. Kiba looked over to her.
"Do what you please" he muttered. Kimiko could feel the anger and depression radiating from him. She walked into the kitchen and started dinner. She put vegetables into the boiling water. Suddenly a tear flowed out of her eye into the water.
'Where did that come from?' she thought.
Then she turned around to see Kiba standing in the doorway.
"Kiba..." she whispered softly.
"I'm hungry" he stated. She nodded. Then he turned to leave. Suddenly he felt 2 arms around his waist. Kimiko's body had moved on it's own, she didn't know why.
"Kiba... please... don't be this way" she whispered, beginning to cry.
Kiba sighed. He didn't like hurting her. He pulled Kimiko's arms off and turned to face her.
"I'm sorry Kimiko" he sighed.
Then he turned to walk away again. "KIBA!!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face. He kept walking.
There! Now Kiba has to let her go, but how long will it last? And will Shino get her? Next Chapter, Kimiko goes to school, and finds her life falling apart. Kiba appears to of found another girl, and Shino seems to have one too. Can Ten-Ten and Hinata help her before she breaks down completely?
