Section 4: Busted!
In the Ramen bar at the town center, Naruto sat stuffing his face as if he hadn't eaten for weeks. Five empty bowls laid next to him, as he was working on the sixth. In the distance across the street, Hinata was peeking out from a dark doorway in Naruto's direction. Her face was flushed and she was smiling and faintly giggling to herself.
"Hinata-chan...?"
Hinata panics and turns around quickly, with sweat beginning to seep out of her forehead. She turns to see Shino standing there puzzled, and with one eyebrow arched up. "Shino-sama, I... I..."
"Don't worry, Hinata-chan." Shino looks out towards Naruto, who is continuing with the savage eating of his Ramen. "I understand how you feel."
Hinata gasps at Shino's awareness, then drops her head and blushes with embarrassment. "Thank you Shino-sama."
Out of the back darkness, Kiba abruptly busts out and pops his head out from between Shino and Hinata. "Hey! What'd I miss?!"
Hinata continues to look down to the ground, and Shino glares at Kiba silently. "Hinata, how about you tell me everything upstairs." Hinata just nods in affirmation, with a cheerful, teary smile. Kiba turns his head back and forth between the two in confusion.
"What? What?!" Kiba turns and watches them head upstairs, while he sits at the bottom with a blank look. "What was that all about?" Akamaru pops out of Kiba's hood whimpering. "I know. I know. We get no respect!" Smiles confidently, "but we've got each other right Akamaru?!" Akamaru just bounces up barking happily.
