The Hospital Room –team 8
Hinata was ling in her hospital bed, chin deep under the covers, with Akamaru sitting infront of her face. She was stroking the little dog, with a blush on her face. Shino was standing by her bed, while Kiba sat himself down on a chair beside her.
"Hey, Hinata! I told you to give up if you face Neji. Why didn't you?"
"I…I neede to prove something K-Kiba-kun!"
"Well, I'm gonna kill that bastard! Honestly! How dare he! Kurenai-sensei said he really meant to kill you then! How dare he? The bastard! Right Shino?"
The Aburame boy nodded slowly.
"Anyway, I hope you get better soon Hinata!" here Kiba blushed slightly, "Training just isn't the same without you! And we need to train with Shino so he wins his next fight."
Shino didn't reply. Hinata however smiled happily, it was nice to be needed, even if he was just saying that to make her feel better.
"I hope I will, Kiba-kun. T-though, I think you're just saying that!"
Kiba's loud "no" were stifeled by Shino's calm voice,
"He isn't just saying that, I really need some training before this. I hope you will be well enough to help."
"See? See Hinata-chan! There you go! Honestly how ever could you suggest that I was lying? I never lie! Right Akamaru?"
The little dog barked his agreement, but he was the only one. Shino, and even Hinata, looked unconvinced.
They remained for some time like this, Kiba loudly and joviantly telling Hinata about everything that had happened, about how smart Akamaru was how she should get better soon. From time to time, Shino added cool words of common sense into those waves of energy. They were a good team and even though her family hadn't bothered to come, Hinata felt content.
