Shit, I didn't even see him come up behind me, is Shino really THAT fast?
As Kiba tried to get up from the grass Shino appeared behind him again, He kicked Kiba and sent him sliding across the grass. This time, however, Kiba managed to stay on his feet and used his hands to steady himself. He rose up and flew at Shino, he delivered a flurry of punches and Shino dodged every one with ease. Shino then sent a palm thrust to his stomach that knocked Kiba on the floor. Kiba sat up and coughed up blood.
"Ok, stop"
"You need practice; you're useless without your ninjutsu"
"Yeah, I know" He leaned over to his side and threw up more blood.
"Kiba-kun! Are you alright?" Hinata called out from the sidelines
"He'll be fine, no major damage, just a side effect from the palm thrust"
Kiba coughed a few more times and finally stopped coughing up blood, "See, I'm fine, no more blood" He coughed again, "Could do with a drink though…" He mumbled under his breath
"What was that Kiba?" Hinata wanted to know what he said as Akamaru had suddenly started barking in agreement
"I was wondering if you could head to the ramen shop and get us some…"
"Ramen…?" Shino offered
"Yeah! That's the one!"
"Ok, what kind would you like?" Hinata asked
"Umm… a… Large miso Ramen!"
"And you Shino-kun?"
"Anything, just make it a small one"
"Ok! I'll be back in about half an hour"
She left for the Ramen shop and started to hum a song on her way, it began to rain so she put up her hood. She ran the rest of the way, as it was only a few minutes walking distance. As she neared the shop she saw 3 familiar heads. A blonde, a blackish/blueish haired one and a pink haired female. She got inside the shop and let down her hood.
"Good afternoon Hinata!!" Naruto greeted her with a mouth full of Ramen
"IDIOT!!!!" Sakura punched Naruto in the head, "DON'T SPEAK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL!!!" She looked over at Hinata, "Afternoon Hinata"
"Afternoon" Sasuke simply nodded and carried on eating his ramen
"Good afternoon Sasuke, Sakura…" She could feel her cheeks burning, "Naruto-kun…"
She was staring at Naruto and was suddenly interrupted by the man at the counter, "What would you like?"
"What? Oh, umm… a large miso ramen and 2 small king prawn ramen"
"King prawn… haven't made that in a while… 5 minutes!" He headed into the back room to make the ramen
"So Hinata" This time Naruto had fully swallowed his food, "I heard you're going to enter for the Chuunin exam again"
"Yeah, Ino pig-chan is entering again too"
"You're gonna do well Sakura-chan!" he tried to put his arm around her to have it slapped away, he looked at Hinata, "and you, I expect to see you pass this time"
Hinata blushed and looked away, as was her style, "thank you Naruto-kun"
"You're gonna pass with my future wife!"
"You wish"
"I do actually"
"Future wife…?" Hinata was devastated, she had heard Naruto liked Sakura but she had hoped it was just a rumour.
"What's wrong Hinata? You don't look too good" Naruto was wondering why she looked so sad all of a sudden
"N-nothing" She took the bag with the ramen in it, she placed the money on the counter and left, she could hear Sakura shouting at Naruto
"YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!"
When she got outside it was still raining, she ran, she ran as far as she could and didn't stop until she got to her 'secret place'. What he said was ringing in her mind,
'My future wife'
'Future wife'
'Wife…'
She sat under a tree and began to cry, There was lightning now, reflecting how she felt.
