PROBLEM WITH KIBA-READ THIS AND FIND OUT :D
No flames please, because they hurt… And burn a hole in my heart HAHA!


Chapter 28, Part 2- Talk things out

"So… E-everything is settled b-between you and Sakura-san?" Hinata asked worriedly.

He nodded happily, "Yeah! She just wants to say that she's extremely sorry to you, and me. I told you, the great Uzumaki can solve any problem!"

The blue-haired girl laughed at her boyfriend, as he went on and on about how he talked Sakura out of her mad thinking.
He knew she missed Sasuke dearly, and he did just as much.
Sasuke was his best friend, and no matter how much he went to the dark side, Naruto believed that there would be a day, when he would be saved from the darkness.

"But now that I've solved the problem between Sakura and us… How's about Kiba?" Naruto asked.
Hinata looked up at him, and back to the ground.
"I don't know… Kiba-kun's my best friend… And I don't want to hurt him…" She said solemnly.

"But Hinata-chan, you have to tell him… or else he'll never move on… He might even try to get between us…" Naruto said seriously, but kindly.
"I k-know… I just don't want him to get hurt…" She responded softly.

He smiled, "You're a good person, Hina-chan. But think about it. You'll be doing him a favor as well, because if he doesn't move on, he might stay single for… for the rest of his life if he keeps chasing you… You have to be straight and let him know now, so that he'll accept and move on. It may hurt at first, but he'll get over it…"

She went into deep thought, then nodded.
"Alright…"

He noticed her eyes-full of sadness.
'She doesn't want to break his heart…' He thought, and smiled sadly.
Naruto side-stepped towards her and placed his right arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him til she rested her head on his broad shoulders.
"I'll go with you, if you want." He whispered.

She shook her head nervously, "N-No, it's alright… I'll go myself…"
He wasn't convinced.
"Are you sure?"

A smile flashed on her face, a genuine smile, "Yes, Naruto-kun."
He returned the smile.
"Alright."


'Knock Knock'

The young man ran out of his shower, quickly putting on his slippers and wrapping a towel around his waist.
"Ruff!"
"No worries, I got it!" He grinned, running down the stairs to the door.
Water mixed with shampoo dripped from the ends of his hazelnut hair, soap still all over his body, trailing down from his neck all the way to his towel.
"Coming!" He yelled, quickly opening the door knob.

-Door opens-

"Hellooooooooooooo- HINATA?" Kiba jumped.
Hinata smiled slightly, and blushed when she saw him half naked, though, Naruto had better packs.
"H-Hello Kiba-kun, ermm… May I come in?" She asked in a sweet tone, one of which the male found extremely difficult to deny. Without any hesitation, he opened the door to it's maximum, ushering for her to go in.
She smiled, walking past the blushing Inuzuka.

It was a good thing that she wasn't looking at him, because he was just as red as her when she was around Naruto.

'Calm down Kiba, this isn't the first time Hinata's come over to my place. Calm down, and everything will be fine…' He told himself, shutting the door and pulling out a bathing robe, slipping it on top of his towel.

Hinata walked over to the same armchair she usually sat on, and crossed her legs.
'Beautiful…' Kiba thought.

"So… What brings you here, Hinata?" He asked pleasantly with a cheeky grin.
Her smile disappeared, and a serious look replaced it.

"Because… I have to tell you something important… And I really hope, you know where I'm coming from…" She mumbled, eyes looking anywhere else but Kiba.

His face dropped.
"W-what do you mean, Hinata?" He asked.

"You know that you're my best friend, right? And I'd always want the best for you." She started.
He nodded, unable to utter out a reply.

"So… I just want to say that… You shouldn't like someone like me anymore…" She immediately regretted saying those words, when she noticed Kiba's face turn into sadness. He looked and felt as if he could break down any moment, but no, not in front of her.

"I mean… Don't t-take it badly… It's just that… All this time… I've been in love with Naruto… I waited for him, even though it seemed as if there was no possible way for him to return my feelings… he did… and I-"

"And I'll do the same for you, Hinata." He cut her off, causing her to peel her eyes of the ground, and onto his face.
"W-What…?" She replied.

"I'll wait for you. I really like you. Really, I do. I'll wait for you for as long as it takes, even though it seems as if there is no possible way for you to return my feelings…" He said, quoting her lines.

"…"

"B-But… I don't love you… I l-love Naruto-kun…" She said.

"That's what Naruto said when he was 13. And now, he loves you." Kiba stated, "So my point is… That's what you're saying now… but… in a couple of years or so… You could…" He was led off, and stopped when he saw Hinata get out of her seat and walk over to him.

"Kiba-kun… I just don't want you to get heartbroken… I don't want you to wait for me…" Hinata cried. She wanted to change his mindset. If Naruto could do it, so could she.
"I always encouraged you to get Naruto. I always encouraged you to never give up on him. So why won't you encourage me now to never give up on you?" Kiba said.

She bit her lips, "It's different!"

"How different can it be, Hinata? You never know! People's feelings change! For all you know, in a year's time, Naruto might even be crawling back to Sakura! Where will that leave you?" Kiba immediately covered his mouth with his palm in realization of what he had just said.

Hinata's eyes watered as she stepped away from him, shaking her head.
"Hinata…. Hinata… I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I didn't… I d-didn't mean it that way…" He whispered, but noticed that she was already walking out of his door.

He ran to it, and gripped the sides of the walls, "Hinata! Hinata! I'm sorry!"

She was gone.

"Hinata..."

Rejection hurts.

"GAARRRRRRRRRRRR!" He screamed, slamming the door behind him as he climbed up the stairs again, only to walk past a whining Akamaru.


A/N: A pretty short chapter.
So the problem with Sakura is settled, but for Kiba, not really.
It's hard to let go of someone you're in love with, I know, been there.
But, if Kiba really wanted Hinata to be happy, he would let her be with the one she loves most, and she can be happy with. Later on, he might realize that, or will he?

Naruto: Come on Kiba, give it up. The ice cream shop trick yesterday, hoho I don't think you want another spanking!

Everyone: ooooOOOoooo

Kiba: Hah, I'll never give up, 'because that's my way of the shinobi'!

Everyone: ooooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

Naruto: Hey, that's my line!

Kiba: It was never copyrighted!

Everyone: ooooooOOOOOOOOoooooo

Naruto: Fine! Trinity456, I demand that line to be copyrighted!

Me: You know, I don't own Naruto, or any of you guys :\ Or your lines. That's up to Masashi Kishimoto. I wished I owned you guys though!

Kiba: Take that Uzumaki!

Naruto: Hinata already went to try to talk things into you, but why do you have to be such a bobe about it?

Kiba: A bobe? What's a bobe?

Everyone: oooooOOOOOOoooo

Naruto: ERRRR… -smiles-

Everyone: oooooOOOOOOOoooooo

REVIEW :D PLEASE and THANK YOU!
