Before the sun has appeared over the trees Hinata was awake and dressing for the day. Her nerves were in full swing through the night, which meant she didn't sleep very well. In her chambers she was brushing through her long hair and making sure she looked presentable. Through her walls she could hear others starting to rise and get a head start on the days work. She heads out of her room only stopping in the kitchen for a moment to grab a few biscuits for breakfast. Quickly putting one in her mouth she heads out the door without really drawing too much attention to herself. She makes her way to Kiba's house in a bit more of a hurry than she would normally as she has been waiting all night to talk to him about this. As she approaches she can smell something good wafting through the window as she walks up the porch and knocks on the door. She can hear a bit of rustling in the house and a few barks as a shirtless and beheaded Kiba opens the door.

"Well this is a nice surprise good morning babe." he says pulling her into the house and kissing her. She giggles and smiles as they share kisses in the sunlight coming through the glass on the door. Kiba then kisses her head and grabs her hand. "Come on I made breakfast, I wasn't expecting you but I can make a bit more." He says smiling. He sits her at the table and adds a few more eggs and bacon into the pan. In another pot, that he is pulling off the stove and allowing it to cool for Akamaru's breakfast. The white dog sitting anxiously at Kiba's feet as he waits. Kiba looks back at Hinata a frown starting to crease his face. "Are you alright baby you look tired? Did you not sleep well?" He asks as he comes over and pulls up a chair next to her.

Hinata lets out a sigh. "Well Kiba, I have been up all night thinking. I have a lot to catch you up on." She says as she holds his hand. "But lets wait till breakfast is made so you can focus on one thing at a time." Kiba kisses her head and nods to stand up.

"Okay Hina, I'm almost done." He stirs the eggs and flips the bacon, and then puts Akamaru's breakfast in a bowl. He only takes a few more moments to cook everything and put it on the table, bring milk and orange juice and some cups. "Alright eat up beautiful." They start to eat as Kiba reaches out and grabs her hand lifting it to his mouth to kiss the back of it. "This is nice. You should join me for meals more often, I like spending my morning with you." He smiles brightly as she blushes.

"I would love that Kiba. It would be romantic." she says as she continues to eat. Enjoying the food that her boyfriend made. It was simple but very tasty. The kitchen and small table made everything seem so homey, and she flashes to yesterday when he made the marriage comment and she blushes. He smiles at her.

"So what is it you wanted to talk to me about babe?" He asks with a kindness and concern in his eyes as he watches his girlfriend eat. She had been so content for that moment her mind had left the reason she came here.

"Oh yes… Kiba, do you have any plans for dinner tonight?" She asks looking at him. He smiles brightly.

"I think I do now." He says playfully and kisses her hand again.

"Yes, my father wants to have dinner with us...Kiba...He knows." She says as she looks down. Kiba stops instantly and looks at her, trying to maintain composure.

"Oh did you tell him?" He asks trying to keep deep breaths.

"Well, it kind of came out. He basically already knew. Someone had seen us holding hands and reported it to him. When I was telling him about us he….he saw the love bite on my neck." Kiba turns bright red and curses under his breath.

"How the hell could I be so stupid." He says growling at himself a bit.

"But I actually stood up to him…" She says rubbing her neck still not sure how to feel about it.

"Wow, babe. That's amazing. I'm really proud of you." Kiba says his pride and enthusiasm sinking into his words a bit more as he hears this. "How did he take it? And how do you feel about it? That must have been hard." He says squeezing her hand tightly.

"Well, he actually took it better than I thought he would. He said he would give you a chance, which is what dinner is about tonight. I still have mixed feelings on it, but it felt really good to stand up for you and for me. I've never done anything like that before. I finally felt in control of my own life for once." She says happily, causing Kiba to smile and get up from where he is and walk to her and kiss her. Getting on his knees so he can be level with her in the chair he pulls her deeper into a kiss.

"I am so proud of you." he says holding her head to his as he tries to hold back the little trickle at his eyes. He had never seen Hinata so proud in her self when it came to dealing with her family and it made his heart beat faster. She holds him close as the two are both quiet for a moment, just enjoying the moment.

"I told father you were a good man and that you would show him that. It might still take him time to accept. He is sometimes hard to win over, and he is already upset that we kept it for so long. But he is willing to try and that is worth something right?" She says as she holds onto him.

"Yes that is definitely something." Kiba says. "I will do my best not to mess up tonight or any night. Just tell me what I need to do and I will do it for you."

"Well he wants you to dress nicely. So we will wear more traditional clothing." She stops for the next part. "He also doesn't want you to bring Akamaru." She says sadly. Kiba looks at her a bit shocked and a bit hurt.

"Oh. Well I guess that makes sense. I'll see if mom can watch him I guess, but it will break his heart, we're never apart." He says patting the white hounds head sweetly. She gets down on the floor and starts to pet Akamaru too.

"It broke my heart when he said that. Akamaru is my team mate too." She says kissing the top of his head and then rubbing him under the chin. The hound almost looking like he was smiling from all the attention he is getting. Kiba wrapping his arm around her and pulling her into his lap as he kisses the back of her head and holds her tightly. His arms snaking themselves around her waist.

"You'll have to look through my closet and pick out what I need to wear tonight. Hopefully it will be...good enough." Kiba's voice betraying him and his confidence. The worry started to set in about tonight. What if her father still wouldn't accept them, what if he forbid them from seeing each other. He needed to take a deep breath and focus. That would be the way to get through this. She smiles as she turns on his lap so she can face him.

"Hey I'll help you pick it out. I'm sure you have something that will work, and if not, well go to the store." She says holding him tightly and kissing his cheek. Kiba lets out a little sigh as she holds onto him. Somehow she always managed to make him feel better. He prided himself in being there for her, but she always repaid him with doing the same task.

"How did I get so lucky." He says kissing her cheek sweetly. She lets out a giggle and smiles.

"You're too sweet on me." Kiba pulls himself up off the ground and reaches a hand down to help Hinata off the ground as they make their way to his room to look through his closet. While there is not much Kiba does have on Yakata in his closet as Hinata takes it out and smiles. 'I bet you will look amazing in this.' She says to him with a wink. He gets a little red on his ears and smiles as he starts to take off his pants. Hinata blushes a bit as she turns her head away.

"Babe, you saw it before, you don't have to turn away." he says with a laugh as he kisses her in just his boxers. Then continues to put on the Yakata. It's not the most extravagant but it fit well and it was comfortable. Hinata smiled as she sees him in it.

"Why have you never worn this around me before. You look amazing!" She says her eyes wide as she takes him all in. He does a bit of a goofy mock spin as he winks at her.

"Well I am glad to know it is this easy to impress you." He says wrapping his arms around her tightly and placing kisses on her neck. She giggles wildly as she looks up at him.

"What do you say we go shopping and make a dessert for tonight, to try and start us off on the right foot." She says as she turns around in his arms so that she can look him in the eyes.

"I think that is a lovely idea." He says as he takes her hand and leads her out of the house.
