Chapter 12: New Year
Over the next few days they didn't do much but just hung out and relaxed, especially after Hinata's surprise party. They all had bad hand over's, especially Naruto.
Shizuko/Kiba POV
It was New Year's Eve and Kiba had woken up to find Shizuko not there. He got out of bed and walked downstairs and found her in the kitchen sitting at the table with a cup of tea.
"You're up early" Kiba said, walking over to Shizuko.
"I couldn't sleep" Shizuko said looking at Kiba as he walked passed.
"What's up?" Kiba asked, walking over to the side to make a cup of tea.
"Nothing really …" Shizuko said looking down at her cup. Kiba looked over at her. He knew there was something wrong.
"Is it Koneko?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah, she said the she would call over the holidays to see how I am" Shizuko said.
"She might be busy. She might have called home but didn't want to interrupt your break" Kiba said walking over with his tea and sitting down next to Shizuko.
"Yeah maybe, sorry" Shizuko said looking over at him.
"It's ok, so what are you going to do today?" Kiba asked before sipping his tea.
"Might go outside" Shizuko said standing up in front Kiba.
"Cool, where you going to go?" Kiba asked looking up at Shizuko.
"Don't know yet, wanna come" Shizuko asked looking down at Kiba.
"Yeah alright" Kiba said smiling. He then pulling Shizuko by the waist, making her stand in between his legs. Shizuko rested her arms on his shoulders.
"Hee-he" Shizuko giggled, smiling and then kissing him. Kiba stood up, grabbed his tea and then followed Shizuko up stairs to get ready so they could go out. Shizuko opened the door, walked over to her suitcase but stopped when she saw something on the top of it.
"Huh? What's this?" Shizuko said picking up the box, turning to face Kiba.
"Oh that's your late Christmas present" Kiba said sitting on the bed. Shizuko sat next to him and ripped off the paper and opened the box to find a locket.
"Wait this is …" Shizuko said looking up at Kiba.
"Yeah, I found it on the floor broken so I thought I would go get it fixed. But it took longer that I though as I wanted it to be the same chain" Kiba said looking down at the locket in Shizuko's hand. When he looked up at Shizuko, she had the biggest smile on her face. She jumped onto Kiba, hugging him.
"Thank you" Shizuko said. Shizuko got off of Kiba, walked over to the mirror in the bath room and put the necklace on. She and Kiba then got ready to go out.
Since everyone was still asleep, Kiba and Shizuko left a note so they wouldn't disturb them. They didn't take the car as they wanted to go for a walk through the woods. Luckily Ino's place was equipped with snow equipment so they didn't freeze to death.
House POV
Not long after Kiba and Shizuko left, there were signs of movement in the house.
'Yawn' "Huh what's this" Sai said picking up a piece of paper from the dining table.
Note:
Hey everyone (:
We've gone out. We went for a walk through the woods. Don't worry we borrowed some snow stuff from Ino.
See you guys later
Shizuko & Kiba

"What's that?" Ino asked walking into the kitchen.
"A note from Kiba and Shizuko, they've gone out for a walk in the woods. They said they've borrowed some snow stuff for you" Sai said.
"Really, we all should have done that. They must have been up early then, as it only 9:30am" Ino said. Sai nodded in agreement.
"What's up" Temari asked walking into the kitchen, with Shikamaru following behind.
"Oh hey, nothing really Shizuko and Kiba have gone out for a walk in the snow" Ino said making tea.
"Ah man, I wanted to go" Temari said sitting down.
"Maybe they wanted some alone time, It's hard to do that here with everyone around" Sai said sitting down at the table.
"Do you think they've done it?" Temari asked.
"Don't know, maybe. But I heard that Kiba already has" Sai stated.
"Kiba's done what?" Sasuke asked walking into the kitchen.
"Oh morning Sasuke" Ino said looking over at the door way of the kitchen.
"You and Kiba are close, has Kiba done it?" Temari asked watching Sasuke sitting down.
"He almost did when he and Ito were going out but he said she forced him" Sasuke said.
"Wow, I never would have thought Ito was like that" Ino said standing behind Sai, putting her arms over his shoulders.
"I did, I know she was trouble from day one" Sasuke said.
"Ito is such a drag" Shikamaru said.
"Maybe he hasn't since he doesn't go on and on about wanting to have sex or has had sex" Ino said walking back over to where she made some tea's.
"Yeah but what about Naruto, there hasn't been a day that he hasn't mentioned the work sex" Sai question. Everyone looked at each other knowing Sai had a point.
Kiba/Shizuko POV
It had been snowing quite a lot over the Christmas Holidays. The snow was quite deep.
"Kiba look" Shizuko said kneeling down and pointing at something.
"Ahh wow, animal prints" Kiba said kneeling down next to Shizuko.
"Shame I don't have my camera" Shizuko complaining.
"Here use mine" Kiba said handing over his digital camera. Shizuko smiled and took the camera.
"What sort of prints do you think they are?" Shizuko asked taking the picture.
"Hmm … they look like fox prints" Kiba said helping Shizuko up.
It was a pretty view with all the snow all over the trees, so carried on walking through the snow. Shizuko took a lot of pictures with Kiba's camera. Kiba had his arm wrapped over Shizuko's shoulder most of the time. Shizuko and Kiba must have walked for hours through the snow. They didn't realize that they had been walking for so long or far as they ended up at this hotel cabin in the middle of the woods.
"I wonder if we can eat here." Kiba asked standing outside the cabin. They walked in and towards the front desk where a woman was waiting.
"Hello, can I help you?" the woman said looking up from the computer.
"Yeah I was wondering do you need a reservation or a room to eat here." Kiba asked.
"No, just got straight to the restaurant and they should give you a table. Were not that busy this afternoon so you should get a table" the woman said pointing down the hall to her right.
"Wow thank you" Kiba said. They walked through the sitting area to get to the restaurant. Outside the restaurant was a waiter. He was holding menus and standing straight.
"Hello, table for two?" a waiter said bowing slightly.
"Yes please" Kiba replied. The waiter showed them to their table. The man pulled out a chair for Shizuko and gave them both a menu.
"I will be back to take your order" the waiter said before walking away. Kiba smiled.
"Wow there nicer than the ones back home" Kiba stated.
"Hmm yeah … wow the prices are quite cheap too. A lot cheaper than home" Shizuko said. "Maybe we should move here" she muttered looking throw the menu. Kiba looked up at Shizuko and smirked.
"Would you like a drink?" a different waiter asked.
"Erm can I have a glass of water please" Shizuko said.
"Yes and sir" the waiter asked turning to Kiba.
"I'll have the same thanks" Kiba replied.
"I'll be right back with your order" the second waiter said before walking away.
"Are you ready to order?" The first waiter asked
"Have you found anything you like" Kiba asked.
"Ramen" Shizuko said.
"2 Ramen's please" Kiba said to the waiter.
"Ok, I'll take your menus" the first waiter said taking them and walking away. They didn't have to wait long for their food to come.
"Wow I'm stuffed" Shizuko said sitting down on the sofa in the sitting area.
"Yeah same" Kiba replied sitting next to Shizuko.
"What's the time" Shizuko asked. He reached into his pocket to grab his phone.
"Erm ten past 2" Kiba replied.
"Wow really. Maybe we should start to walk back" Shizuko suggested.
"Hmm yeah" Kiba said. He stood up and just as he was about to help Shizuko up a police officer came in with the manager.
"Can I have everyone's attention" The police officer said. "There seems to be some bad weather coming this way. So if you can get back to where you're staying then I would go now" he added. Kiba and Shizuko got up quietly and walked over to the officer before he went.
"Erm excuse me officer. My girlfriend and I walked here from where were staying through the woods. We left there at half 8 and didn't get here until around noon" Kiba said.
"We could give you a room" the manager offered.
"But we don't have any more money to rent one" Shizuko explained softly.
"We don't have many people staying here, and since its Christmas we will give you the room for free" the manager stated.
"Really, there must be a catch" Kiba said.
"No catch, the room has already been paid for but they cancelled because of the bad weather where they were" the manager said.
"Thank you" Kiba said shaking the man's hand. The manager walked over to the front desk, grabbed a key card and took them to their room. There were two floors to the cabin with only 40 rooms. There room was on the second floor in room 237.
"Here we go" the manager said opening the door and handing over the card key to Kiba.
"Thank you" Kiba said to the manager as he left the room.
House POV
After having a police officer came to the house to tell them about the news with the bad weather coming, all the guys went outside to try and start the car. They all were worried that it wouldn't start due to the cold weather. After 5 attempts, Naruto got the car to start. He left it running for 5 minutes, revving it everyone so often.
"Wow it's really snowing now" Temari said looking out the window in the sitting room.
"Yeah" Sakura agreed doing the same.
"I hope Shizuko and Kiba are ok" Hinata said softly while sitting on the sofa, looking up from her book. Tenten got up and walked to the front door and opened it.
"Hey guys, come in it's snowing badly now" Tenten stated. Naruto cut the engine and they all ran inside.
"Fuck! It's freeeezing!" Naruto said putting his hands on the radiator.
"Did you get the car working?" Tenten asked hugging Neji to warm him up.
"Yeah but I don't think it's going to last long if it staying in this snow" Neji said taking his cold gloves off.
"You can move it into the sports room if it will help" Ino said walking up to Sai.
"Will it fit?" Sai asked, while been hugged by Ino.
"Yeah, it use to be a garage but we will have to move some things" Ino said.
"Ok we'll give it a go once we've warmed up" Sasuke said walking into the front room before kneeling in front of the fire.
'Ring, rinng … ring, rinng … ring'
"Hello" Ino said, picking the phone up.
'Ino, its Shizuko'
"Are you ok?"
'Yeah'
"Where are you?"
'Kiba and I walked to this cabin when a police officer came in and said there was some bad weather coming here'
"Yeah, an officer came here too. It's snowing badly here already"
'Really, well the manager let us have a room here so we won't be there for New Year's, I'm sorry'
"That's ok. I'm glad you and Kiba are ok and have a place to stay"
'Tell everyone that we're fine and sorry that we can't be there'
"Yeah sure, bye"
'Bye'
"Who was that?" Sai asked.
"It was Shizuko" Ino said turning around.
"Where are they?" Temari asked.
"There in some cabin, and the manager there gave them a room to stay in" Ino explained.
"Well I'm glad they're not out in this weather but they're not going to be here for New Years" Hinata said quietly.
Kiba/Shizuko POV
It was almost New Years and Kiba and Shizuko were lying on the bed, talking. They were really gutted that they couldn't make it to back to Ino's for New Year's.
"Kiba, can I ask you something?" Shizuko asked sitting up.
"Sure" Kiba replied still lying down on the bed.
"We close right? You would tell me thing right?" Shizuko asked.
"Shizuko, what's this about?" Kiba asked sitting up. Shizuko turned around to face Kiba. She was lightly red.
"I've noticed that your very touchy with me and was wondering if you've had sex" Shizuko said turning red because she was embarrassed asking. She didn't make eye contact with Kiba.
"No, but I almost did but I didn't want to" Kiba replied leaning back onto his arms.
"Who with?" Shizuko asked looking at Kiba.
"Ito, sometime last year when we were dating. One day she forced me into it, but I pushed her away and walked out" Kiba stated. "That's was when I decided to break up with her" he added.
"How comes you didn't?" Shizuko asked facing Kiba, still sitting on the bed.
"Didn't feel I was ready, and Ito wasn't the one. And she wanted us to be the first couple to have sex" Kiba said looking at Shizuko. Suddenly they heard fireworks. Shizuko looked over at the window that was flashing with bright colours. She got up, opened the curtains and looked out the window.
"Wow, there so pretty" Shizuko said. Kiba sat up and look at Shizuko. The colours of the fireworks were reflecting onto her face. He got up, walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Yes you are" Kiba whispered into her ear. He then kissed her neck. Shizuko turned her head slightly to Kiba and smiled.
