When Kiba tried to knock Naruto out he was stopped by someone. Naruto's eyes opened wide to see Hinata holding Kiba, his shoulders' anyway. When Kiba moved from side to side, so did she to block his path any further.
"Move Hinata!" He shouted.
"No." She said calmly. He paused, Kiba wasn't expecting that.
"What are you doing here Hinata-chan and-"
"Shh please Naruto."
"Huh?" They both wondered.
"I don't want you to hurt Naruto-kun. And I reluctently prepared to hurt you if you try to hurt Naruto-kun. Do you understand Kiba?" For a minute after he processed Hinata's words, he scowled, though at first he cringed. He jumped backward away from Hinata.
"Hinata. What the hell do you see in that bastard? He is just using you, you know! And-"
"ENOUGH KIBA!" Hinata shouted. Kiba looked angry and when she pointed backward toward Naruto, he was blinking.
"What you mean? I am just trying to protect you from being used-"
"You are hurting Naruto-kun! Stop it Kiba! Please. I have had enough of this."
"How the hell am I hurting that bastard? Why should I care?"
Hinata looked somewhat visably hurt. "I love him, Kiba." She said softly.
"No! No you don't!"
"How could I not?" She was calm now, her hands limb her sides. Naruto was listening eagerly.
"What do you mean?"
"It's been embaressingly obvious forever to everyone but you that I am in love with him." She paused and looked at the pained expression on Kiba's face. "I don't want to hurt you Kiba. You are important friend to me and-"
"How can I be friend's with someone I love and who's taken? Why have you never told me this eariler? To spare me the pain!" He was shouting. He cried running away before Hinata could say anything.
Hinata sighed. Naruto's eyes were raised.

Iruka eventually got used to the fact that Naruto was in love with Hinata. A year passed. They had a pretty blissful relationship. Hinata's father wasn't really doing anything wrong to screw that up. He seemed to accept it.
AN: The end sucks. That's why I am doing a epilog in the next chapter.
I want to end it. It's long enough. I have enjoyed writing it though. I want to focus my attention on other things though. So what do you want mentioned in the epilog?
