The 10th chapter!!! yay!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, sadly never will. For the best I guess. Any Naruto I do own, would be my stories.

"Akamaru?" Kiba asked with no emotion.

The dog's ears perked in reply.

"What do you think?"

He whined in question.

"Of my power. You can feel it, can you not?"

Your power may be great, but it distracts you.

Kiba kept looking ahead. No emotion still filled his voice. "What do you mean? I'm focused on what I have to do. Get Naruto for Sasuke-kun."

Your senses. You haven't noticed that there is someone around the corner.

"Who?"

Akamaru didn't answer.

As the two turned, Kiba glanced at the person Akamaru had spoken of. He nearly fell off the dog's back again. It was Hinata.

"Stop," Kiba commanded. Akamaru stopped and Kiba leapt down.

Hinata had turned around. "Kiba?"

He didn't answer.

"Is that you?" Hinata could feel the difference in Kiba.

"It is." The vampire didn't say more. He couldn't. Pain was rushing through his neck to his forehead. It was all he could do to not fall to the ground, clutching his head.

Hinata smiled slightly, still unsure. "You don't seem right," she said.

"I don't?" He winced.

"You feel like you want to kill someone," she replied worriedly.

"You must be wrong."

"Akamaru?" Hinata asked, looking at the dog. He just stood there.

"I'm fine, Hinata." Kiba tried to smile. The pain was getting worse. He was sure his head would split any second.

Her face still showed worry at first, then she blushed changing the subject. "Kiba, a-about last night…um, I-I'm sorry…I d-didn't mean…to…to, um-"

Kiba gave her a real smile—being careful not to show his fangs—in spite of the increasing pain. "Do not worry about that. It is fine." He took a few steps forward. But by doing that, Hinata could see his eyes more clearly. They had been three yards apart before.

"Kiba, your eyes…they're red…" Her blank eyes widened in shock. She had thought they looked different before, but hadn't given it much thought.

"That is nothing." Kiba hoped against everything that he could morph his eyes. Can vampires even do that? He concentrated as hard as possible while feeling such intense pain in his head. He felt them go back to how they normally were. "See? They are fine." He moved up to her, arms length apart, trying not to wince too visibly.

One part of his head said to leave, and look for Naruto. The other part said to stay and get even closer. That part wasn't just his want to kiss her; he felt there was some logic behind it. He followed that one.

He was almost right up against her now. She was blushing, looking off to the side. There was a smile on her face.

"Do not look away," Kiba said. The pain was still there, and getting worse, but this feeling was taking over. "Let me see your beautiful eyes."

Hinata blushed even more. Kiba took her chin in his hand so he could turn her face to his. "The view is much better," he said.

"Kiba…I, wa—mm…" Her words were silenced by Kiba's lips. She relaxed and put her arms around his neck. Kiba put his hands on her face at first, then to her neck, slowly inching lower.

As his hands reached the bottom of Hinata's shirt, he had to break apart.

Damn it…

Hinata looked at him. She was worried again.

"What's wro-?" she started to say.

"I have to go," Kiba said sadly. He chanced one more kiss, then walked to Akamaru.

"Kiba?" Hinata called.

"I have to go," he said again. Now his hands were on his head, his eyes shut tight.

Before Hinata had the chance to say more, Kiba was already on Akamaru's back and leaving. He lay down once he was out of sight of her.

"What's wrong with me?"

My guess, vampires don't have those feelings. The real you is trying to come back.

"No, I-I can not do that. This power…" He couldn't say more, and let Akamaru find Naruto's scent.

Hinata stared in the direction that Kiba had left. Why did he leave? Something is more than just very wrong…Who did this? I should find Sakura…Hinata left for the 5TH Hokage's office, using her Byakugan to see if she was in the streets anywhere. When she had confirmed that she was not, Hinata jumped up to the rooftops to reach the Hokage's building quicker.

The kunoichi burst through the front door, despite her normally quiet and shy personality. She ran up the steps and down the hallway until she got to the door. Knocking once, she let herself in.

"Naruto! What did I tell you about coming in here?!" Tsunade yelled, getting up. Her eyes widened when she say that Hinata was in the doorway. "Oh, Hinata, I didn't know it was you."

"Tsunade-sama, is Sakura here?"

Tsunade was still shocked and now even more with Hinata's bluntness. "Uh, yah. She's here. Sakura!" she called.

Sakura came through a door that lead into the office. "Sensei?"

"Hinata wished to see you."

Sakura looked at the young woman in the door. "Hinata?"

"Yes, I, um, needed to talk to you about something important," said Hinata, her shy attitude coming back.

"If it's important, I think I should hear it," said Tsunade impatiently.

Hinata needed to think of something. She couldn't tell Tsunade-sama what she was going to tell Sakura. Not yet.

She fake blushed and lowered her head. "It's not like that, Tsunade-sama…"

Sakura smiled. So did the Hokage. "Oh, that." She weighed sending Sakura to help her friend, or staying to do the work she needed to get done. "Alright, go ahead."

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama." Hinata bowed and left the room with Sakura following.

Once they had closed the door, and were walking down the hallway, Sakura asked, "So who is it Hinata?" She had a huge smile on her face.

"It's not like that—well, that's not true—there is someone. It's about Kiba-"

She was interrupted by Sakura giving her a hug. "I knew you two would end up together! That's great!" She lowered her voice. "So what do you want to know?" She raised her eyebrows.

Hinata understood what she meant. "No! No, Sakura. Not like that."

"Then what?" She looked a little disappointed.

"Well, me and Kiba are—I think…"

The pink kunoichi brightened. "Thought so…Continue."

"He's different. Very different."

"No doubt fallen in love with you already."

Hinata blushed, but her voice became louder. "Sakura, listen to me. Don't interrupt."

She stayed quiet.

"Kiba…when I saw him today—" Sakura smiled. "—his chakra was full of murder. He wanted to kill someone. Not me, but I don't know who. And his eyes were red. He didn't look the same."

"I have one question."

"Yes?"

"Did he kiss you?"

Hinata used the loudest voice she ever had probably. "Sakura! Stop!"

Sakura looked taken aback, but kept firm to her question. "Well, did he? I swear I'll listen better after you tell me." She smiled again.

"Yes, he did."

Sakura kept her emotion to herself. "And then what?"

"Sakura."

"No, I meant it in a helping way. What happened after he kissed you?" she asked again.

"He left."

"What?"

Hinata looked down. "He left saying he had to go. He was holding his head too. He and Akamaru just left."

"Akamaru was there too?"

"Yes, but he did nothing the whole time. He only stood there. He wasn't like his normal self at all."

Sakura understood the seriousness. Sasuke had been somewhat like how Hinata described Kiba. She told her what Sasuke had acted like.

Hinata's eye widened as far as they could go. "Sasuke's…back? B-but…"

"I know. I don't understand myself. I've talked with Tsunade-sensei, and even she doesn't. I was actually in the middle of something about life and death when you came in. We had hoped it would give some answers. None so far. We'll need Sasuke to come back. But I think that what's wrong with your Kiba is what's wrong with Sasuke."

My Kiba…Hinata thought. But she pushed that thought aside to continue talking with Sakura.

"So all we need to do is get Sasuke back here?"

"Yes."

"When do we leave?"

"Don't be so anxious. We will leave soon though. I have to tell Tsunade." She left through the door, leaving Hinata in the hallway.

"Tsunade-sensei?" Sakura asked. She looked up from her desk. "Can I leave for Sasuke now. Hinata volunteered to come too."

"Are you finished in there?" Tsunade indicated the door.

"Yes," Sakura lied.

"Then you may go. Remember, if he doesn't want to come for whatever reason, you may use force. Knock him out if you have to."

"Understood." Sakura went back through the door. She smiled at Hinata. "Alright, let's get going."

The two shinobi walked down the hallway side by side.

"Oh yah, one more question," said Sakura.

"Yes?"

"What kind of kiss was it? Like a little peck on the lips, or were you two making out? Or maybe he even had his tongue down your throat…?"

Tired of Sakura's questions, Hinata did something totally out of the ordinary. She messed with someone's mind; Sakura's to be exact.

"That's for me and Kiba to know only."

"Whoa, Hinata…never knew this side of you…"

"Sakura…" Hinata laughed a little and shook her head.

Sakura looked at her skeptically. "What? What am I missing?"

For all of you that thought the only character is Sasuke, Kiba gets a part, as well as Naruto(for furture reference)

By the way, as to why Akamaru basically has no action, it's because he doesn't aprove of the whole power, vampire...thing. He chooses to stay out of it.

And theres more KibaxHina! I love those two together! As for what they were about to do in plain view of everyone in Konoha, that's up to you... .
