Chapter 10: Insomnia

Hinata couldn't take it anymore. She was being kissed by her longtime crush! At first, the kiss was innocent and pure, but then it turned out more fierce and full of passion. It seemed they let go of their feelings in that passionate kiss, which lasted for at least 5 minutes, until they needed to catch their breaths.

Naruto, in the other hand, couldn't stop grinning, he had finally "declared" to Hinata, the most beautiful, young kunoichi he ever met in his whole life. Both of them had forgotten the reason that Naruto was in Hinata's tent. The moon's light filtered through the tent's cloth, giving Hinata a bright glow in her white eyes. That glow is what makes me fall more deeply in love with her. Her skin was also visible for Naruto, something he could never do, because of the baggy clothes she always wears. Right at that moment, Hinata was wearing a simple, light, white, big t-shirt. He, on the other hand, was only wearing his orange pants, which allowed Hinata to have a great view of his muscular chest. He wanted to touch her, to caress her, to keep kissing her. Hinata felt the same way, and a sentence appeared in their minds at the same time, while they began kissing each other, enjoying the company of each other:

Everything is perfect

He couldn't take it anymore. His Hinata-chan was somewhere in the woods with that Naruto-baka. None did anything to stop them from leaving, not even Sakura, who had forgotten about the kiss she gave to Naruto after Sasuke came back.

He couldn't ask Shino for help, since he always supported Hinata and would give his life to see her happy, with Naruto by her side. He always said something about Naruto always in need of someone kind and caring as Hinata. He also said that Hinata needed someone as Naruto to help her "believe in herself and express her own opinion". Bullshit! Hinata doesn't need someone like Naruto. He was loud, noisy, hyperactive, and stupid, which could lead to his young death.

Everyone seemed to be happy, except him. He was jealous, not happy! He wanted Hinata back, he wanted her to by his side. He realized he needed her to be happy: Inuzuka Kiba depended on Hyuuga Hinata.

I will bring her back no matter what!

Konoha fell in complete silence. Black clouds were above the small village, preparing the citizens for an upcoming rain. He had been walking around the Village, thinking of Hinata every second. Thinking of her might bring her back, but I better go after her! She needs me!

He raced towards his home, full of determination to bring his girlfriend back to their village.

Sasuke lay awake in the middle of the night, since he wasn't able to sleep because of the heavy raindrops. He couldn't help but feel worried; after all, Naruto had left without saying goodbye. He had left him, his best friend and rival, basically A-L-O-N-E with Sakura. He knew he loved her, he knew it! But he couldn't stop thinking about what could have happened between her and the blonde. They are best friends, they are comrades… and Sakura depended on him for a while. She didn't need me, after all. She can depend on Naruto… he will always be there for her… something I can't do.

Groan.

Why am I thinking of Sakura? Why the hell am I worrying about her happiness? I don't love her, I know that. I DON'T love her, do I?

-Hinata's PoV-

Happy sigh.

I'm immensely happy! Naruto-kun finally noticed me! He even kissed me! Squeal.

This has been such a great night, we kept kissing, hugging, caressing... I sensed something in his touches, a great desire. He made me think he had fallen in love with me for a long period of time, as I had fallen for him, since we were genins.

Happy sigh.

He's hugging me by the waist! He decided to sleep with me tonight. He wanted to keep my nightmares away. That small statement, made me realize he cares a lot for me! He doesn't love Sakura-san, I felt it in his kisses. That stupid nightmare about him and Sakura-san kissing was just that, a nightmare. He loves me! He loves me! He loves me! I feel that smile in my face, the smile that had disappeared after he left with Jiraiya-sama to train.

I feel so protected next to him, as if he could keep my nightmares away… Something I have never felt for Kiba-kun.

Kiba-kun!

How will he react to the fact that Naruto-kun and me love each other? Will he be heartbroken? Will he stop being my friend?! No, I can't allow that to happen. I do love him, but only as a friend. Naruto-kun, on the other hand, makes me feel as if everything is alright when I'm by his side. He makes me feel secure, confident, and free of my family's chains. Those chains I have always longed to break. He will break them, I'm sure. He will be free with me, and I will always love him, until the end…

-End of Hinata's PoV-

Morning arose at Konoha, the birds chirped, the flowers bloomed with the sunlight, and the citizens started their usual routines. Some of them were already exercising, others were starting to open their shops, and some others were finally getting out of their dreams, which was the case of the 5th Hokage.

The doors of her office, where she had slept due to all of the alcohol in her system, suddenly burst open. Shizune, followed by Ton-Ton, Kurenai, and Asuma, stopped in front of the Hokage's desk. Shizune's face wore a worried mask, while Kurenai couldn't support her own weight, due to her pregnancy. Asuma, in the other, held his beloved and wore a face of anxiety, which was a bad sign for the Hokage.

"Tsunade-sama… Inuzuka Kiba left the Village without permission!"

He went after Naruto and Hinata, that baka!
