Chapter 9: Revealed!

Kiba POV

At the end of the week, the weather was getting colder and colder with a few snow flurries. On the Thursday (22nd December), Tsunade allowed the school to have a half day, since it was the start of the Christmas holidays. They had no lessons but they had to come in for an assembly, to give out awards and also to say there farewells to some of the teachers that were leaving.

"Man its cold" Temari said walking out of the school building.

"Yeah" Sai said, following Temari outside. Everyone else then followed and started to walk towards the school gates.

"See you guys, have a good Christmas" Sakura said to everyone. Shikamaru, Sai, Ino, Sasuke and Sakura walked left of the school gates and Neji, Hinata, Tenten, Temari, Shizuko, Kiba and Naruto walked right of the school gates. Neji, Hinata, Tenten, Temari and Naruto decided to go into town but Shizuko and Kiba went straight home.

"Brrrr! It's freezing" Kiba said, opening the front door.

"I know and it's started to snow, think we might have a white Christmas" Shizuko said looking out the side window by the front door. Kiba smiled at her, while taking his coat off.

"Do you want a hot drink?" Kiba asked hanging up his coat.

"Yeah" Shizuko answered, taking her coat off. Kiba walked past her and kiss her on the cheek, which made Shizuko smile. "I'll be back in a minute just going to get changed" she added before walking up stairs.

"Ok" Kiba said walking into the kitchen. He was by the sink making him and Shizuko a hot drink. When he had made them, Kiba picked the cups up and walked into the sitting room and put them onto the coffee table. He then sat down on the sofa and waited for Shizuko to come down. She came running down the stairs and when she came round the corner she was wearing black skinnies and a man's red jumper with a white top. Kiba could tell that the jumper was really big on her as it was covering up her hands.

"Whose jumper is that? It looked really big on you" Kiba asked watching Shizuko walk over.

"My dad's" Shizuko said snuggling up to Kiba on the sofa. He put both arms on top of the sofa. "Movie?" she added looking up at Kiba.

"Sure, you can pick" Kiba said. Shizuko grabbed the remote and looked through the movie channels.

Tsume POV

It was about 4:30pm and Tsume just got back in front work with Akamaru.

"Hello … I'm home" Tsume called out from the front door. There was no answer. She closed the front door and started to take off her shoes and coat. Tsume was about to walked up stairs but saw Shizuko asleep on the sofa. She smiled.

"Oh, hey mum" Kiba said quietly closing the door. He then looked around the corner. "She still asleep" he added taking his coat off.

"What do you mean still asleep? How long have you been out?" Tsume asked walking into the kitchen.

"Half an hour" Kiba stated following his mum.

"Why did you leave her here?" Tsume asked turning around.

"I needed to get her Christmas present" Kiba said leaving the kitchen. Shizuko woke up an hour after Kiba and Tsume came back home. Tsume had the dinner ready for them. After dinner Shizuko and Kiba disappeared upstairs.

It was Christmas Eve (Saturday) and Kiba and his mum were secretly packing, while Shizuko was out getting things from the shop with Akamaru. Kiba was waiting in the sitting room for his mother.

"Kiba I've packed Shizuko's stuff, where are the car keys?" Tsume said walking into the sitting room. Kiba stood up, put his hand in his back pocket and pulled out the car keys for the car that Shizuko's Aunt, Koneko, gave them.

"Here. Oh can you make sure that her present is in the glove compartment on the driver's side" Kiba said passing the keys over.

"Her present? What did you get her? I've been meaning to ask you" Tsume questioned.

"Oh … erm … you will have to wait and see … ha-ha" Kiba nervously. He started to get embarrassed.

"Ok well hurry up, Shizuko will be back soon" Tsume said. As soon as Tsume left the room, Kiba followed. He met his mum outside by the car to help her put the suitcases in the boot. They then came back into the house. Tsume went into the kitchen and Kiba went back into the sitting room.

"Hey I'm back" Shizuko said walking through the door with Akamaru. Shizuko look around the corner to find Kiba in the sitting room reading. She walked over to him.

"Hey" Kiba said. Shizuko sat on him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "How was the walk?" he added putting his arms around Shizuko's waist.

"Yeah it was good. I think Akamaru is getting a bit lazy" Shizuko said. Akamaru looked up. "Or someone else is" she added jokingly looking at Kiba's direction.

"Oh really" Kiba said. He then started to tickle her.

"Ha-ha Kiba stop ha-ha stop it ha-ha" Shizuko laughed. Kiba had tickled her so much that she was lying down on the sofa, with Kiba hovering over the top of her.

"My mum and I do this thing around Christmas time. We go pray, then to see this choir in some house out in the country. Do you want to go with me?" Kiba asked still looking down at her.

"Really? Are you sure?" Shizuko questioned, placing her hands on Kiba's chest.

"Yeah, I want you to" Kiba said.

"What about your mum?" Shizuko asked.

"I spoke to her about it and she said that she's going with her friends after work" Kiba said.

"O-ok … when is it?" Shizuko asked.

"Erm … today … sorry it's short notice" Kiba stated.

"No its ok, do I have time for a shower?" Shizuko said.

"Yeah" Kiba said. He got up and stood in front of the sofa. Putting his hands out, he helped Shizuko up. He gripped hold of her hands and pulled them down so she would come closer. With Shizuko and Kiba looking at each other they slowly kissed.

Shizuko then walked backwards and went upstairs to have a shower but Kiba stayed downstairs, reading his book. Once Shizuko had finished in the shower she went into her room with a towel wrapped around her but found some new clothes lying on her bed, with a note sitting on the top of them. Shizuko picked up the note and read it.

"Koneko gave me these, thought they would look really nice on you, Kiba" Shizuko said. She looked down at the clothes and smiled. She then put them on.

Kiba got up from the sofa, placed the book he was reading on the side and walked towards the kitchen and he heard Shizuko coming down the stairs.

"Mum I think we're go-ing now" Kiba said looking towards the stairs. Shizuko was walking down the stairs. She was wearing dark blue skinny's, with a cream floral top tucked into her jeans with a white cardigan. She was carrying white hi-top converses in her hands. The bottom part of her hair was curly and her eye make-up matched the colours on her top, dark blue.

"Ready?" Shizuko said. Kiba didn't say anything. "What? Do I look stupid?" Shizuko said turning red.

"No, not at all. You look beautiful" Kiba said. He then started to turn red as he realized that his mother was in the room.

"Don't mind me but I have been waiting for you to say that to her" Tsume said, smiling. Shizuko was really happy that Kiba said that and she was also happy because Kiba was wearing her favorite outfit. The outfit that Kiba can in to the Land of Water.

Flash back end

After the awkward moment Kiba and Shizuko put their coats on and headed for the car.

Koneko POV

Koneko was doing some paper work that Sayuri should be doing. She was peacefully sitting read through files when Sayuri came suddenly on the voice box that was on Koneko's desk.

'Vrr … Koneko can you come into my office … NOW! … Vrrr'

'Sign' "Great now what does she want" Koneko said to herself. Koneko put the papers down and walked over to her office.

'Knock, knock'

"You wanted to see me" Koneko said with no effort in her voice.

"Yes, it's about Shizuko" Sayuri said. When Koneko heard Shizuko's voice she started to panic.

"Erm … w-what about her?" Koneko questioned closing the door.

"Well for one thing, why hasn't Shizuko been in school for the past 2 weeks?" Sayuri stated.

"Erm … she's … erm been ill … yeah really ill" Koneko said nervously, putting her hand behind her head, still standing at the office door.

"Ok then why haven't you said anything, you should let me know since I am her mother" Sayuri said.

"You're not her mother and she will never except you as her mother. And I'm sorry I haven't told you. I've been busy doing your paper work" Koneko said, bluntly. Sayuri wasn't impressed with Koneko's answer.

"Well then I'll come over tonight and see her" Sayuri said.

"What … erm … no t-that's ok, she's getting better" Koneko said nervously, before walking out of Sayuri's office. Sayuri looked at Koneko spuriously as she walked out.

Sayuri POV

The pupils at Kiri High had finished on the Friday for the Christmas holidays, but there were still some pupils still at school doing some extra classes. Sayuri want to get home quick and over to Koneko's house to see Shizuko.

Sayuri decided to finish on time. She left when all the students left school. She walked out of the school building and towards the staff car park when she heard two girls talking.

"Hey do you remember when that guy came in a few weeks ago, he was hot" a girl said.

"Yeah, I've never seen him before but he obviously knew Shizuko" another girl said. Sayuri walked past them when they said this.

"What was that?" Sayuri said to the girls.

"Oh Principle Sayuri, erm" the first girl said bowing.

"What is this about Shizuko and a boy?" Sayuri questioned. The girls didn't say anything. They were a little scared of Sayuri but her staring made them blurt everything out.

"Well a few weeks back a guy came in, but we knew he didn't go here and he knew Shizuko. It also looked like she knew him" the same girl said.

"What did this boy look like?" Sayuri asked.

"He was the hottest guy I've ever seen, tall, good looking, had the most amazing hair. Although he had these random red lines on his face" the second girl said.

Flash Back

'Hello Sa… Step-mother erm this is an update for you, there's this guy named Kiba he's really good at P.E. I'm pretty sure that he will get into the completion next year. You will know who he is as he has random red lines on his face. Ok bye'

Flash back end

"How well do you think Shizuko knew him?" Sayuri questioned.

"I saw her run out the school with him at the end of lunch" The first girl said.

"And she hasn't been in since then" Sayuri asked.

"Yeah, come to think of it she hasn't been in since then" the second girl said.

"Thank you girls, have a good Christmas" Sayuri said walking away and going towards the car park. Sayuri walked up to her grey 4 by 4, got in and started the ignition. Instead of going home Sayuri went straight to Koneko's house but waited for her to get home. Koneko was late home and Sayuri was getting suspicious. So Sayuri drove back to the school.

Koneko POV

"Why can't she do all this paper work, since she is the head of this school" Koneko said putting the papers down on Sayuri's desk. "I wonder" she whispered to herself. Koneko quickly started to look through her desk. "Oh my god I found it" she said picking up a black book, which was lying at the bottom of one of the empty draws in Sayuri's desk. Koneko quickly put the book in her bag.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sayuri said walking into her office. Koneko turned around to find Sayuri standing there.

"Erm" Koneko muttered.

"Why have you got that?" Sayuri asked walking over to her.

"Why have I got this? This book doesn't belong to you! It's Shizuko's" Koneko yelled waving the book in her face. Koneko was furious. Sayuri snatched the book out of her hand.

"Tell me why there aren't any lights on in your house, if Shizuko is home ill. And also tell about this boy that came here, the boy with red lines on his face" Sayuri said getting right into Koneko's face.

"Why were you at my house?" Koneko said with rage in her voice, staring back at Sayuri.

Town POV

It took Kiba and Shizuko 5 minutes to get to town, with the car. Kiba parked the car in the car park and they walked down to all the stools and shops in the high street.

"Thank you Kiba for today, I'm having so much fun and I'm also glad that it's just us two" Shizuko said looking down. Her cheeks started to turn red. Kiba look down at the embarrass girl and smiled.

"Really I must thank you. You've made me so much happier. You can ask everyone else" Kiba said with his hands in his coat pocket. He could see that Shizuko was getting more embarrass with what Kiba said. To tease her more he grabbed her hand in front of everyone. Shizuko looked up at Kiba who was smiling ear to ear. From a distance Ito and her friend Cho could see Kiba and Shizuko. As normal Ito was jealous.

"I hate that girl. That should be me standing with Kiba not her" Ito said standing next to a street food store.

"Yeah you two were so cute together, but them two, ew!" Cho said before taking a bite from her food.

"C'mon" Ito said pulling Cho towards Kiba and Shizuko.

"Aww look how cute that is" Shizuko said looking at a toy at a game stand. It was a giant panda bear.

"3 rings please" Kiba said to the man at the stand.

"300 yen mate" the man said. "Get all three rings on the top one and you pick any toy" he added.

Kiba looked at the pole, he shut his eyes and without knowing he throw them and got all three on the pole.

"Wow I've never seen that before" the man said.

"Thanks, can I have this one please" Kiba said smiling.

"Sure. Here you go and because what you did was impressive I'll give you a smaller version too" the man said passing the toys over. Kiba took both the panda bears and gave the bigger one to Shizuko. She hugged the bear and had a huge smile on her face. Kiba then put this arm around Shizuko and walked on.

"Hey Kiba, look at this" Ito said pulling Kiba away from Shizuko.

"Hey, wait!" Kiba said trying to pull away from Ito. Shizuko looked over in confusion.

"Look at this, don't you think it will suit me" Ito said holding up a dress.

"What are you doing, can't you see I'm with Shizuko" Kiba said pointing over to Shizuko. Shizuko then walked up next to Kiba. Ito gave her a dirty look.

"Yeah but don't you think it would be better if you spend the day with me. Maybe we could start over" Ito said putting the dress back and getting really close to Kiba.

"No Ito. She's my girlfriend. Sorry but that's how it is" Kiba said backing away. He turned around and grabbed her hand and they both walked off.

"Are you ok?" Shizuko asked looking up at Kiba.

"Yeah, don't worry about her. She really likes me but I've told her that I don't but she doesn't seem to give up" Kiba said, rapping his arm around Shizuko. Shizuko than smiled and hugged the panda bear that Kiba won her. Kiba got his phone out of his pocket, lid it up and looked at the time.

"Oh wow is that the time. We better get going" Kiba said.

"Huh? Where are we going?" Shizuko asked.

"Erm … to see ev …" Kiba started to say.

'Wait she doesn't know our plan' "The choir at this house but it will take us about hour an half to get there" Kiba said

"Oh yeah I forgot ha-ha" Shizuko said, smiling. They both carried on walking in the same direction they were on to get to the car park. There car was parked on the 3rd floor.

"Erm I'll be back I'm just going to the toilet, here" Kiba said giving Shizuko the car keys.

"Ok" Shizuko replied smiling, taking the keys. Kiba walked to the boys toilets and pulled his phone out when he

'Vrr'

"Figures as much, I wonder what they are doing" Kiba said to himself. As he opened the door he put his phone back into his pocket. He then walked into the car park and saw Shizuko staring at the panda bear. She had the biggest grin on her face. He walked over to the car opened the door and got in.

"Ready" Kiba asked.

"Yeah, I'm really excited" Shizuko said, smiling.

"I don't think I've ever seen you smile so much. I'm glad you're happy" Kiba said.

"I am happy. I've found amazing friends and an amazing boyfriend" Shizuko said smiling. Kiba had a huge grin on his face. He put the key in the ignition and started the car up. He then drove off towards Ino's holiday house. The drive took longer that Kiba anticipated. It took them 2 hours.

Kiba/Shizuko POV

Kiba had just turned off from the motor way and onto a country road, which would lead to Ino's holiday house.

"Here we are" Kiba said pulling up to the house.

"Wow, what an amazing house. I can't believe a Choir is going to sing here" Shizuko said looking out the car window. Kiba stopped the car and they both got out.

"Wow it's freezing here" Kiba said.

"Yeah" Shizuko said rubbing her hands up and down her arms. He wrapped his arm around her and started to walk towards the house. As they were getting closer and closer they could hear music.

"Oh they've started" Shizuko said, a little upset.

"It's ok, my mother and I normally get here at this time" Kiba said, smiling. They got to the door and opened it.

"SURPRISE!" everyone called.

"What? What's going on?" Shizuko said shocked. They all walked up to Kiba and Shizuko.

"Welcome to my holiday home" Ino said with a smile on her face, hugging Shizuko.

"Holiday home? What? What's going on?" Shizuko said in confusion.

"We're all having Christmas here" Ino said. Shizuko was in shock. After all the greeting and hugged, the girls went and sat in the front room and sat in front of the fire to warm up.

"I can't believe everyone is here" Shizuko said.

"Ino organized this all" Sakura said with a smile.

"Wow" Shizuko said. "Erm, I haven't got your presents or any clothes with me" Shizuko said.

"I've sorted that" Kiba said. She looked round to find all the guys bringing the presents and Kiba had two suitcases. Shizuko mouth dropped. Kiba had a huge smiling on his face.

Once the guys had come in with Kiba and Shizuko's belongings, Ino and Sakura went into the kitchen to make the dinner. Because they wanted to make the dinner to be special and up to the highest level, they took 2 and half hours making it.

"Sorry for the long wait, dinner is now served" Sakura said in a posh accent.

"Finally! I'm starving!" Naruto called leaving the room first.

"I swear Naruto's brain is in his stomach" Temari said following behind. Everyone started to laugh at the comment. The dining room was the room next to the kitchen. In there was a huge table, big enough to fit 10 people. Ino sat at the top of the table, as it was her house, and the others grabbed the empty chairs.

"Ah, I'm so fall" Naruto said leaning back in the chair.

"You would be you ate most of it" Temari stated giving Naruto a look.

"Ino, Sakura that was amazing" Shizuko said looking over them.

"I agree, maybe you two should open a restaurant" Temari complimented. Ino and Sakura smiled.

"I'll take the plates out" Sai said getting up and taking the plates off of Ino.

"I'll help" Sasuke said talking the plates off of Sakura.

After everyone they finished eating the food that Ino and Sakura had prepared, everyone paired up with people they wanted to share a room with, as there were only 6 rooms. Everyone agreed that Shizuko, Kiba and Tenten, Neji could share rooms. It went Ino and Temari, Hinata and Sakura, Sai and Shikamaru, and Naruto and Sasuke.

Koneko POV

Koneko and Sayuri had a huge fight and Koneko stormed out of the room. But Sayuri hit her over the head knocking her out.

"Ah … w-what's … going on … ah" Koneko muttered. Koneko tried to get up but she couldn't. Her hands and feet where tided to a chair.

"Good you're awake. Now tell me where about's Shizuko is in the Land of Fire" Sayuri demanded.

"Why would I tell you that" Koneko muttered.

"You will or that book you found I'll burn" Sayuri threatened.

"Why do you want Shizuko?" Koneko asked.

"I've already told you … she's my daughter" Sayuri replied. Koneko looked at Sayuri in horror.
