Naruto had been sleeping for a good three hours now, so Hinata decided to get up out of his bed and make her way to the kitchen. As she stepped in there, she felt strange: She had just been in Kiba's kitchen not too long ago? Doing practically the same thing. She tried not to feel guilty and shook her head. She was bent in the refrigerator and starting taking out some beef when she stopped herself and then put it back. Kiba likes that, not Naruto. She stood there blankly, the cold air of the fridge hitting her bare body sharply from the neck down. She closed its door and was faced with her reflection. "A girl that cheats on her boyfriend." What did that mean? Was she not herself anymore? She walked back into Naruto's living room and started putting her shirt on, but she couldn't get it past her head without having a couple of salty tears escape. Why was she crying? What if Naruto saw? She quickly put the shirt on and raced back to the kitchen and washed her face in the sink. She gripped the faucet and stood hovering over the metal sink, when the short breaths started to attack. She wasn't breathing correctly. She was starting to freak out because she knew what was happening: She was about to have a panic attack. It had had happened before. She remembered that the only people that really had experience with her attacks were Shino, Kurenai, and of course Kiba. No, she couldn't call him. It was too risky. Naruto could hear her. She would surely, in her desperation, call out Kiba's name. Wait but Kiba is my friend, Hinata reassured herself, Naruto knows that. I'm just being considerate because I don't want to wake him up. Her knees buckled and she would have fallen to the floor if she hadn't been holding on too tightly to the sink. That's ridiculous; Kiba isn't just my friend anymore. She tightened her grip, trying to push through the shakiness of her hands and tried to relax her breathing. It was no use, she needed someone to calm her down or she needed to take medicine. Or, she finally decided, she would have to fight this – alone.
It only lasted a couple of minutes, but it felt like an eternity to Hinata. But finally, it was over. She was about to just collapse on the kitchen floor and lay there for a while until she regained her composure, but she heard the door. It was the sound of the door opening. Impossible, she was shivering. It had to be her imagination. Naruto lived alone. Completely alone. He was in his bed sleeping, right now. Had she missed him waking up and slipping out of the door? Had her panic attack been that intense? No, he would have said something to her, right? No? Was he trying to surprise her or something? She wanted to run into his room to check her sanity but she couldn't do that without crossing in front of the door. And you couldn't walk to the room without passing by the kitchen. She looked down at herself: panties and a shirt, no bra or pants or anything.
"Hello?" she heard a voice, she couldn't believe her ears, "Naruto? Are you home?" The voice got closer, and suddenly, Hinata found herself face to face with Haruno Sakura.
Kiba tossed and turned in his bed, failing at taking a nap. He sat up and slumped his shoulders. He had no idea what he wanted to do. He decided to walk over to a hidden box in his closet. He pulled the box out and opened it, revealing his extensive porn collection. He sighed to himself. He hadn't used these in a while. He had been sleeping with random girls and then Ino and now Hinata. Reality had been beating fantasy lately, but he supposed his streak was over. He flipped through them, tossing the ones he wasn't interested in to the side of the floor. He came across a foreign one, a girl from America. He had bought it because she was so popular and he wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The actress was named Sasha Gray*. He wrinkled his nose, recalling that Naruto had been the one to him about her, that she was his favorite and blablabla. She was flat-chested and much too direct for Kiba's taste. It annoyed him that Naruto liked that girl. What the hell was he doing dating Hinata? She was nothing like freaking Sasha Gray or Sakura. He couldn't understand it. Sure, Kiba had had plenty of flings with girls he didn't care about that weren't his type, but that's because they were flings! When it came to Hinata, the story was completely different. He had always had feelings for her. He had always sat around watching her love Naruto. He had always try to fight back the urge to think about her when he was with someone else, or just alone. His porn collection over the years developed as Hinata did. First short black hair then long, going deeper into the "J-Leagues". He kicked the DvDs, making them spill all over his floor. I am so fucking pathetically obsessed with this girl! He finally admitted it to himself. Why was he so into her? No other guy would talk about how "sexy" Hinata was or the things they wanted to do to her. She was always lonely on Valentine's day and Christmas, and she barely talked in school. Yet, Kiba had always chased her. He had been the guy to sit next to her in class and choose her as his partner in P.E. But at the same time, he was a coward. He wouldn't dare to ever have told her how he felt. Shino told him how obvious it was, but still Kiba didn't go for it. He knew Hinata's feelings and he didn't want to face them. At the end of the day, she loved Naruto. Even when she touched Kiba and kissed him and looked at him straight in the eye, he saw it: the love she had for Naruto.
DISCLAIMER: *Sasha Gray is in no way the popular actress Sasha Grey. Gray is completely fictional and any resemblance to her or anyone else is completely coincidental. lol.
I want to take this moment to respond to BPDIDANOCSMOM 's review(s). Normally, if I feel the need to respond to a review, I usually do it privately, but from my experience, the person never responds to the confrontation, so I have decided to post it since the person says they speak for the perspective of NaruHina fans, so I'm hoping they will read this, also, and it will be some sort of use to you. First and foremost, let me just say thanks for taking the time to type a response to my writing. I really appreciate any sort of opinion as long as its not a pure flame, but I would also like to clear some things up, so please do not feel offended at what I am going to say.
"Why you have only one review or five now? That probably equals to why you think you have any Naruto/Hinata fans left or had any to begin with? Are you serious and can't really understand why? You lost any potential Naru/Hina shippers from the summary alone." I would like to note that even if I complain about the lack of reviews, I will keep writing this story till the end, whether I have one review or 20 or 100. If NH fans are that sensitive or hate KH that much and can't get passed the summary then good, why would I want those kind of NH fans to read my story and flame because the first chapters don't float their boat? This isn't the story for them, and if that's your case, too, I don't understand why you've read this far lol. There are PLENTY of NH fans that also like KH and that would read a story that is not PURELY or OBVIOUSLY 100% Naruhina in favor. The reason why I complain about the reviews is because this story, gets a lot of views believe it or not (I do not want to sound cocky but this is the truth), it gets more than other stories I have that get a lot more reviews, which is the thing that confuses me? Lol.
"Hinata's extremely OOC, but that is moot at this point." You're right that that's irrelevant, considering I am not Masashi Kishimoto, it is inevitable that I am not going to make them exactly the same way Masashi would, I think every single FF I have ever read has OOC because that's what it is, fiction to the actual canon. Masashi wouldn't make them act the way you or I or anyone else writes them, why? BECAUSE WE ARE NOT HIM. Aside from that, why is Hinata OOC? Because she is cheating on Naruto? I'm sorry that you believe cheating defines someone because it doesn't. It seems you have a lot to learn and understand about relationships in the real world. Nearly 70% of relationships include some sort of infidelity. And I believe that ANYONE is capable of cheating, if handed the right circumstances. Hinata doesn't have to be loud or bold to be a cheater. And saying "once a cheater, always a cheater" is a lame, over used, over generalization. Cheating is something that happens due to circumstances and/or feelings. Hinata being shy or even madly in love with Naruto is not going to prevent her from cheating on him, I am very sorry to break that to you. I know you will judge me after saying this, but it is only the truth: I have cheated and been cheated on and I have also been completely faithful and I know PLENTY of people who have, also. In person, I am shy and quiet and I dress modestly. I didn't need a certain personality type to cheat on someone. There are good people that cheat and there are bad people that are faithful. Your point of view is very Romanticized and unrealistic.
"Naruto he's being portrayed as a clueless dumbass. Even more so than his usual canon self?" Lol. The guy I cheated on was definelty less clueless than Naruto. And guess what: he never ever caught on. Cheating can be very sneaky and you don't have to be an idiot for it to happen to you. Many times, you don't have any reason to believe someone is cheating on you. Think about it from Naruto's POV: he sees himself as the bad guy, *in this fic* he has a problem where he drinks and acts like a dickhead, so he knows that he's treated his loving gf like crap, so she has a perfectly good reason to be distant from him, he has no reason to question her relationship with Kiba, they haven't gotten caught by anyone, they don't show it in public, and even if they were seen together, they are teamamtes and good friends since they were young, and Kiba openly teases Hinata about her crush on Naruto and stuff, so why would anyone suspect anything? Especially Naruto? He is probably just worried that he's being an asshole and it would never cross his mind that Hinata would cheat on him. On top of that, she is not very comfortable around him BECAUSE of personality and feelings for him. She is comfortable around Kiba, more than Naruto even in the actual manga. So I don't see why that would be OOC at all. And *in this fic* her sex is awkward with Naruto, she is embarrassed to show her desires to him and she enjoys Kiba sexually because she doesn't have to give any direction, he is more experienced and natural with sex. He is literally the definition of a comfort zone for Hinata while Naruto is completly out of her comfort, which is the reason she has feelings for him in canon. Because he is her complete opposite and is brave and all that.
"The only way you can turn this around is..." Sorry. But, you can write your own version. This is my story, I have a way to write it. Thanks for giving a suggestion, but it is not where I am going with this. And okay Hinata playing Naruto is OOC but Naruto having a 3some with Sakura and Ino ISN'T? Do you really think that would happen in canon? Lets just pretend Sakura actually would want to do that, why would Ino, though? You don't think that's weird or unrealistic? Why would they agree to that with Naruto? Nevermind, I'm not even going to get into that.
"Besides I can already tell it'll be a Kiba/Hinata ending anyways, because no real Naruto/Hinata fan would write something like this." Wow. So now you are a mind reader? Excuse me, but I love NH. In fact, in the manga, I want them to end up together. Their relationship is cute and has been developed and I am fully aware that KH is canon fluff. I intend on writing full NH fics, I reblog and rant about them on Tumblr, and I get giddy when I read their moments in the manga. What the hell is your definition of a "true" NH fan? How are you just gonna tell me what I like? Lol I could write a KarinxKakashi fic if I fucking felt like it and not be a fan. So your point makes absolutely no sense and you sound like you are just bitter that Kiba is getting some from Hinata in my fic. And then you went in to rant about how Hinata is this terrible person or whatever. Yes, its really easy to judge and shame women instead of trying to understand why they're doing something that isn't that great, isn't it? Although, I am actually very happy to see you are so frustrated with my story's progress. I actually love frustrating and angering my readers. Because good writing is supposed to annoy you and make you want to go into the story and slap the shit out of people and interfere but know that you can't because that's what keeps a story interesting. You think you have my ending figured out, but you don't. I will not say anymore as to not spoil everything, I'll just let my writing do the talking. Feel free to continue to express your opinion, although this is probably the only time I'll respond to it, but thanks for bumping up the number of reviews ;)
To those that read and enjoy, thank you for your support! I will continue to write for you even though you're quiet lmao. Have a nice day! :D
