Chapter 2 : Playing With Akamaru
"Hey Hinata! Come on in."
Hinata had walked over to Kiba's house, them having planned a couple of days ago to take Akamaru to the park. She smiled as she entered the comfortable atmosphere of Kiba's home, loving the liveliness of it due to all of the dogs running around the place. It felt more like home than the Hyuga compound did anyways…which is why Hinata visited here often. Of course, her father was never notified of this, as Hiashi held some unreasoned grudge against Kiba's family, and forbade her from having any contact with Kiba other than their group training. Thankfully, Kiba's mother was understanding, and kept her mouth shut about Hinata's visits.
It took a long time before Hinata finally managed to stumble her way past the many dogs circling her feet to the bathroom, where Akamaru was…or…where Kiba had said he would be.
"Damn't…Akamaru! Get back here! Whether you like it or not…you need a bath!" Kiba shouted through the household, causing the other dogs to finally scramble away. Hinata giggled as Kiba stormed out of the bathroom. Akamaru had always hated baths, and today was no different from the other bath days.
As Kiba was searching, Hinata heard a small scuffling of paws, and saw Akamaru slowly walking past the bathroom door, a look of sadness on his face. His expression immediately changed as Hinata scooped him up in her arms, and started to cradle him. Akamaru barked happily, loving the caring treatment he was getting. Hinata walked over to the tub, slowly placed Akamaru in, and started to bath him.
Kiba walked past the door after a while, saying, "Hey, sorry bout this Hinata. It's near impossible to get that dog to take a bath. Even I have a hard time getting him to…WHAT!" Kiba ran over to the two of them, staring at Akamaru in amazement. He than turned to Hinata, "You never cease to amaze me Hinata. I mean…geez…he seem to love you more than me."
Hinata just laughed some more as she took Akamaru out and began to dry him off. Once she was done, Akamaru jumped onto her shoulder, ready for his day of fun.

"All right…catch boy!" Hinata shouted, as she threw a ball as far as she could, Akamaru enjoying a challenge. All the same…he still came back in no time at all with the ball firmly in his mouth. As Hinata attempted to take it out of his mouth though, Akamaru held on firmly, pulling back. Understanding what he wanted, she took a rope out of her bag, gave one end to him, and began to yank at her end.
Kiba just watched on in amusement, proud of how Akamaru had finally warmed up to someone else besides himself. Akamaru was normally not a good people person, and used to always stay in Kiba's coat, unless needed in battle of course. 'But than again, who couldn't warm up to the kind and lovable personality of the beautiful Hinata?…Whoa! Where did that come from Kiba? What the hell are you thinking about Hinata like that for!' Kiba thought to himself nervously, turning red.
But as he continued to watch Hinata play with his best friend, he noticed how true his previous statement had been. She had grown a bit taller since the chunin exams, and her figure was developing nicely. In fact, her body was what really held Kiba's attention. She didn't wear that ridiculous coat anymore, now sporting a sky blue sleeveless top, with a darker shade of blue shorts. Kiba had also gotten rid of his shaggy coat, a decision he had made after Hinata had commented on how cute he looked with his hood down.
Once Kiba had finally moved his eyes of that aspect of Hinata, he looked at her face. No longer depressed, or unconfident, now showing nothing but care, love, and beauty. Her eyes no longer creeped Kiba out like they had when they first met, and now saw them as simply another aspect of her beauty. Her lovely blue hair, which she had grown out a bit longer, was shining in the bright sunlight, giving a whitish tint to it.
Kiba sighed at these thoughts, and shook his head to clear them away. He had known about his feelings for Hinata for a while now, but had never done anything about them. Kiba could just not see how Hinata could love someone like him. He felt as if though friends were as close as they would ever get. He didn't want Hinata to be uncomfortable around him, so he never told her how he felt. 'Besides…she's in love with that dumb Naruto kid. Everyone knows that…' He reminded himself sadly.

It was now dark out, the three friends walking out of a pet store, in which Hinata had bought a few new toys for the dogs back at Kiba's home. Kiba had volunteered to take Hinata back home, but when she thanked him, her expression changed into a sad one.
After a while, Kiba couldn't take it anymore. "Hey Hinata…are you okay? If you don't want me to walk you home, I mean…you just have to tell me…"
"Oh no! It's…it's not that…really. I just…after such a great day…going back to the Hyuga compound…" Hinata whispered, looking at the ground.
Kiba understood immediately, having visited there before. He had felt a strange feeling of forbidding around it, and didn't stay for long before he practically dragged Hinata out of it. Suddenly, an idea came to mind.
"Hey Hinata…you know…you could stay at my house today. My mom wont mind…I mean of course…if that's not weird for you or anything…" Kiba told her. She looked up in surprise, causing Kiba to look away and blush.
Her look of surprise was soon replaced by one of joy, her warm smile coming back to her face. "I…I would really like that Kiba. Umm…thank you…very much." Hinata answered.
Kiba looked back at her smiling. Akamaru jumped from Kiba's shoulder onto Hinata's, barking happily. "Great…Akamaru's favorite person's going to spend the night with us!"
Hinata giggled, petting Akamaru's head. "Oh Kiba…"
4ever : Yays! 2nd chapter complete. I love these two together! I wish they would get together on the show! Stupid Naruto's got her affections though. Hmph! (Goes to pout)
Hinata : Umm...ignoring 4ever for now...I'd just like to ask you to please review this story. I thought I would ask this time instead of Kiba, since most of you probably got mad at him last time when he threatened you.
