Chapter 9
Later on in the Hidden Leaf Hospital, Hinata was just waking up to the sight of her beloved Kiba. Kiba and Akamaru had fallen asleep on the hospital floor next to Hinata's bed.
Now Kiba actually looks like a dog, falling asleep right next to me. Hinata thought. Ahhh, he looks so cute when he is asleep. She looked down to the boy and the dog curled up next to each other. Kiba, inhaling and exhaling as he moves over and back. "Hinata…." Did he just whisper in his sleep my name? "Hinata, I love you." Wait, what? Did he just talk to me or is he still asleep? Kiba rolls over to Akamaru and hugs him and gives him a kiss on the back of his head. "Oh Hinata." Wow, know I know what he thinks of when he is asleep. She giggles to herself. Well, now I have to wake him up even though he looks so cute when he is asleep.
"Kiba," She shakes him, "Kiba you have to wake up." She gently kisses him on the cheek, "Kiba," She tries to lift his hand, but falls off the bed with a large oomph! "Ow, that hurt." Now looking straight into the large-straight-black eyes of his.
"Ahhhh, Hinata what are you doing on the ground you were supposed to be asleep in bed!"
"Well, you know…. You make it look so comfortable on the ground!"
"Wait, was I asleep?"
"Ya, and did you know that you talk in your sleep?"
"No."
"Well, you do." She started blushing.
He sees her starting to blush and says, "Well, what did I say Hinata?"
"Um…."
"Come on!"
"That you love me, okay!"
They both start blushing and a nurse comes in to see both of them laying on the floor, "What is it now? I told you that you have to stay in bed miss Hinata!"
"I am truly sorry, I fell off my bed onto the floor. Kiba here was helping me."
"Oh is that right?"
"Ya I was just helping her get back to her bed after falling on the floor."
"Ok well I leave miss Hinata in your hands, by the way if you plan on staying here there is a team that was ambushed and is being brought to the hospital. If you are going to stay here that is what's going to be going on outside your door."
"Ok, I will see. What sort of team got ambushed? Which of the teams?"
"Right now we have no clue on who or how many all we know is that a group of ninja's from the hidden leaf got ambushed and are arriving here soon!"
"Thank you!"
The nurse was on her way out the door, "I will come back and tell you any news!" The nurse then shut the door behind her.
Kiba was helping Hinata get back into her bed, when Hiashi Hyūga and Neji Hyūga come rushing through the door. Along behind them were Tsume Inuzuka and Hana Inuzuka.
"Hinata I heard that you were in the hospital?"
"Ya nothing to major, a few broken ribs. That sort of thing!"
"Hinata you have to be more careful!"
"Neji, I assure you I am fine."
"Ok, Ok." There was a silence that followed, and then Neji asked Kiba.
"Kiba, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, you know checking up on Hinata."
Hinata and Kiba stared at each other, Kiba noticing that she had grabbed his hand and was holding it tightly. He looked at her as if to ask, Should we tell them? She nodded her head in reply.
"See, the thing is…."
Tsume stepped up and said, "Ahhhh, you two are a couple!"
Kiba and Hinata both looked at her and blushed. Neji and Hiashi looking at them in surprise.
"Hinata my child, why didn't you tell us?"
"I thought that you would feel very protective of me and not let me see him, and plus I didn't know that he had feelings for me since like 4 days ago!"
Tsume looked at her son and shook her head. Wow, that boy should have said I LOVE YOU way sooner.
"Well, Tsume what do you think about this?"
"I think that they are a suitable match, they both look happy and I haven't seen Kiba smile like that since he was put on Team 8 with her! They are perfect!"
Hinata looked at Kiba, He has loved me since we were put into Team 8. And I haven't even said anything to him; all the love that I had was put into loving Naruto. Now, I have to make up for all of those times I spent suppressing the feeling of love towards him. Kiba, I love you soooo much my heart could ache.
"I think that this is going to be gross watching my cousin knoodling with my friend, that's just not right!"
There was a silence that followed and then all together everyone started laughing.
"Well then Kiba, I suppose you are going to spend the night? Am I right?"
"Ya, I guess so if it is alright with Hinata."
They looked into each other's eyes. "Ya, Kiba it is fine with me."
"Well, Kiba I will be at home today and tomorrow morning. I am leaving tomorrow afternoon to go in a mission."
"Hinata," Hiashi said, "I am going to be at the house and I am going to a meeting with the council around 8 so if I don't see you that is why!"
"Goodbye!"
"Bye mom, bye Hana"
"Bye Dad, bye Neji!"
With that all of the families fled the hospital getting back to their work.
"Kiba, you didn't have to stay here with me!"
"It wasn't a command it was a choice! Hinata I didn't want to be away from you. I love you and I don't want to leave you when you need me so much right now, and by the way the nurses and Sakura left me in charge of you."
"Well, I don't want you to be sleeping on the hard floor or on the chair that doesn't look so comfortable. Why don't you climb in with me?"
Kiba took this question aback and looked at her in disbelief, did she just ask me to sleep in her bed with her? Well, if she really wants me to there is no time object.
I hope Kiba says yes, I don't want him to be that far away from me, and he is always so warm! Maybe it is the dog like qualities in his blood! He is always so cute!
"I guess, I mean I don't want to sleep on the cold hard floor and I don't want to sleep in an uncomfortable chair, and I must rather be closer to you so I guess, I could sleep in your bed."
"Ok Kiba," She pulled at her covers so that he could slip in with her. She looked at him and swore he was smiling. He snuggled in next to her and put his hand around her abdomen trying not to hurt her. "Kiba the only thing is, is that I am really tired so we might have to go to sleep right now."
"Ok then Hinata. I love you."
"I love you to Kiba goodnight!"
