Ino knew just where to find the dog boy. Out in the fields by the flowers with Akamaru. This was something she loved and couldn't wait to do with him. Flowers were her absolute favourite things in the world, and it's a common interest they have.

Although Kiba isn't very gentle with them, and would probably crush them in his rough but strong hands... But at least he could admire them just like Ino could. The perfect scene would be to just be with the person she loves while being surrounded by flowers.

The thought of it made her squeal as she ran through the fields. "Kiba-kun!"

Kiba flipped his head over to see a certain blonde girl whom he has fallen for deeply heading her way. His face automatically turned into a cheeky grin. She looked so beautiful with her hair in her ponytail flying around while she ran as fast as she could to him with a huge bright smile.

"Ino! What brings you here?" Kiba asked when the breathless blonde stood in front of him. He began teasing. "Is it because you missed seeing me that much?"

"No, I came here because of Akamaru and the flowers." Ino replied, walking right past Kiba to the flowers and picking a few. Kiba felt his ego crumble, and watched Ino play with Akamaru. If he were in an anime, he'd have dark clouds over his head. Thank goodness he isn't!

Ino looked over her shoulder at the dog boy. "You know I'm joking, right?"

Kiba brightened up immensely. "Of course! You think I'd be fooled by that? Haha! Of course not! Hahaha..."

Ino laughed at Kiba's awkwardness. Kiba grumbled and laid down on the ground, staring up at the sky. He liked this peace, the familiarity of her laugh. Everything was so natural between them. They were natural. So it should be natural for them to get together, right?

Suddenly a cute face blocked his view of the sky. Ino had leaned over in a 90 degree bow over Kiba, a blush across her face. They remained like that for a while before Ino muttered something incomprehensible. Kiba looked utterly confused. "What? I didn't hear that."

Once again Ino mumbled, only a bit louder. Kiba sighed. "Are you going to say it louder? Because I can't-"

"I like you!" Ino announced.

Kiba laughed. Finally the words he wanted to hear, huh? He'd been waiting for those words to exit her mouth for months, and finally hes beaten his competition. He was the one who had stolen her heart. Happiness swirled through Kiba.

Kiba stretched his fingers to the nearest flower next to him. He didn't turn away from Ino, so he didn't see what he chose. He plucked it from the earth, mentally apologizing, but he raised his arm and slipped the delicate flower behind Ino's ear.

The flower was a White Carnation. Ino seemed shocked by the sudden action, but she didn't move. Kiba smirked. "I suppose you already know a White Carnation means pure love, right?"

"L-Love...?" Ino stammered, feeling her heart beat quicken. Kiba was enjoying every second of this.

"And also, there's something else." Kiba shot up into a sitting position, catching Ino's lips with his own. Ino was blushing madly, her heart ready to come flying out of her mouth. Eventually she relaxed and returned the sweet kiss.

Kiba pulled away and went back into his laying position, closing his eyes. "Thanks Ino, I think I like you too. But I don't know yet, give me some time to think, okay?"

Ino threw grass in his face. Kiba spit the dirt out of his mouth, wiping the grass off his face. Ino smiled innocently. "Decided yet?"

"I don't know, should I really be with a girl who throws grass in my face...?" Kiba asked, playfully sarcastic. "Hmm... Why the hell not?"

Ino rolled her eyes. "You're impossible."

Kiba jumped into a sitting position, wrapped an arm around Ino's shoulders and pulled her down to lay with him. "And that's why you love me."

"L-Love?" Ino stammered again.

Kiba smirked. "I'm gonna have fun teasing you."

So they laid there. Finally Ino was at ease and happy with her decision. Although it was hard, Ino knew she made the right choice. Even if she was going to be teased every single day, the smile and warmth that only Kiba had brought her comfort.

And Kiba was no longer worrying whether or not the girl of his dreams would slip away from his arms once again. He would never admit it, but he was pretty self-conscious this whole time. Competing against Sasuke and Naruto is no joke. It's a miracle he won. He would be grateful everyday and believe it was fate that he had picked a White Carnation. It suited them.
