After a meeting that felt like it might never end the three finally are able to leave. The day was quickly turning into the night as Kiba's stomach rumbled. Looking over to his team he grins.

"Why don't we all go get something to eat?" He says with a smirk. "We definitely deserve it after that mission we accomplished."

Hinata smiles widely and nods. "That's a great idea Kiba. I am starving. You'll come too right, Shino?" She says looking at him with her sweet eyes. Shino gives a slight nod as they all start to walk toward the center of town. After some discussion they finally settle on BBQ. As they enter they all walk towards a table, Kiba allowing Hinata to sit first before sitting down on the same side as her. Shino moving to sit across from them. They sit and discuss some of the possibilities for their next mission, before falling into friendly conversation like they always do. It didn't take them long to eat as they were starving, and they made their way out of the restaurant. They say their goodbyes to Shino and they start walking toward their respected houses.

"You know it is kind of late Hina, why don't you let me walk you home?" Kiba says as he rubs the back of his neck. "I know you can handle yourself, but it also gives me an excuse to spend more time with you." A chuckle comes from the side of his mouth.

"I would love that thank you." She says as she smiles widely and lets out a little giggle. "You are such a gentleman Kiba." Kiba smiles as he extends his hand and looks over at her. She blushes and reaches out slowly to grab his hand. As they walk Kiba's mind is racing, taking a few moments to process his thoughts he finally breaks the silence.

"I really want you to meet my family. I know this is a lot to ask. I know this is a lot of pressure as well, since we just started to tell people, but I just want them to know. It's hard to go and see them and not be able to talk about how wonderful you are. I also can't stand lying to them when they ask me where I was, or what I did for the day." His eyes looking toward the ground then back up at her. This relationship was not as cut and dry as they would like it to be. The Hyuga family was not a group you wanted to mess with, and they were held in such high regard that Kiba worried about what they would think of him. His heart raced just thinking about meeting her father's eyes.

"Yeah I would love to do that. I think it would be good for them to know. Then we can work up the courage to talk to my father once we have their support. I know it might be rough at first, but I feel that he will come around. You are a good man Kiba." Her voice bringing him out of his thoughts as his ears turned red and he gripped her hand a little tighter. Gently he lifts her hand to his mouth and presses his lips to the back of it.

"You always know what to say to make me feel better." He gives a fangy smile and presses a kiss to her cheek. They keep walking and sharing a few of their favorite moments when they make it to Hinata's house. Kiba feels his heart pounding in his chest the closer they get to the door. "Well I guess this is goodbye for tonight. I will meet you back here in the morning and I will take you to go meet my family." He says looking around. He then leans down and places a kiss on her head. "Until then, sleep well my love" he says as he pulls himself away from her reluctantly. She makes her way into the house only to turn around one more time to wave at him. His heart beating hard as he smiles and starts walking home. Reaching down to stroke the head of his large companion. "I think that went rather well, don't you Akamaru?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning Kiba wakes up and prepares for the day. Taking a brisk shower and making sure his clothes are clean and smell decent. He prepares himself a small breakfast before brushing and feeding Akamaru. Now moved into his own place he was trying to cook a little more, but he didn't have the knack for it. He sighs as he eats just to get something in his system. He finishes putting the dishes in the sink to clean later and makes his way over to his mother's house. As he walks in and is taken off guard as things are strangely quiet.

"Ma! Are you in here?" He yells as he looks around. He then hears a bit of a bark and heads outside to the back yard. There his sister and mom are working with the ninja hounds, on sparring and tactics. He smiles as he walks over. "Ma! Hana! I need to talk to you both about something." His heart pounding as he is wondering what their reaction will be. They both look at him a bit taken aback by his statement. Kiba never really needed to talk about things unless he was in trouble.

"Well good morning to you too son." His mother says looking at him as she and his sister stop their sparing. Figuring with his face as flushed as it was he had something important to say.

He starts to rub the back of his neck. "Well I was hoping if you aren't busy today I would like to bring a friend over for lunch." He says knowing it sounds awkward. His sister and his mom look at each other and after a pregnant pause begin to laugh.

"What the hell is so funny?" he says his face completely red as he looks between the two confused.

In between her giggles Hana smiles. "We knew you had a girlfriend. You aren't very good at lying or sneaking around." She says and continues to laugh. His mom looks at her.

"Girlfriend, I bet its a boyfriend!" She cackles.

"MA!" Kiba yells as he gets angry. "It is a girlfriend! Okay so what!" He says as he tries to hide his face. They start to settle down for the sake of his pride and sigh.

"Alright bring her over well see what girl is naive enough to date you." Says his mother in a teasing way and his blood boils a bit as he stomps off to Hinata's house to pick her up. The bit of anger he feels makes the journey feel faster. He knew his mother was teasing him, but it upset him that she would do it in a way that involved Hinata. He smirked as he thought about how shocked his mother will be to see he has been dating a princess. He makes it to her house and goes to knock on her door, but stops and keeps his distance. He wasn't sure what Hinata was telling her father to get out of the house, so he didn't want to ruin her excuse. After about 15 minutes she finally emerges from her house dressed in a beautiful light purple sundress. Kiba's mind races as he has never seen her look so beautiful and walks over to her.

"Good morning babe. How did you sleep last night?" He says as he takes her hand and starts to retrace his morning walk.

"I slept well. It was a little restless though, I was so excited about today!" She says with a bright smile. He smiles back and sighs.

"Well I have to warn you, my mother and sister already know that we're dating."He says as he sees her face turn red and a look of worry pass over it. "But don't worry too much they took it really well. They already knew that I must have been seeing someone." He can see her uneasiness starts to fade as they start to get closer to his house. The sounds of excitement, barking, and training can be heard through out all of the houses. Kiba leads Hinata to a larger house and walks inside. He sees his mother and sister are still in the backyard.

"Alright babe. Everything is going to be alright, they will adore you I know it." He says as he places a kiss on her head. They walk through the gate to the back yard together holding hands. "Ma! Hana! We've made it!" He yells as they stop brushing their hounds to turn around and greet her. As they see her both of them look shocked.

"You're dating a Hyuga?!"
