Chapter Four: Wake-Up Call

It was 3:00am and Kiba was up and walking to the small 'kitchen' and opened the wooden box called a refrigerator. A cold wind awoke Kiba and he then realized no food was in the chilled box. (Not a battle I would want to be in--Kiba vs. his empty refrigerator lol) Kiba stood dumbfounded then screamed (Cuz' cockroaches were inside—not, but I love to tease him!) "Who ate my food!" The heap on the couch --which Kiba took for Shino—moved. Kiba ignored his hunger and went back to sleep without noticing Shino beside him.

Hinata slowly pulled herself up off the couch rubbing her eyes trying to wake up. "How did I get here?" she asked herself as she stood up off the couch. "While they sleep I'll change and go get some food" Hinata thought as she readied her clothes and walked outside to the bath room.

Kiba had only lain in bed since he got because all he could think of was Hinata beside him. (Kiba doesn't know its Shino lol) "Forgive me Neji" Kiba whispered as he turned over and hugged the shadowed bundle he took as Hinata. Snuggling it he breathed in her scent, "Hinata" he whispered the word spilling out of his mouth. Slowly his mind slipped in to sleep as he felt arms cover him as he slept he thought Hinata was the one hugging him.

Shino was hugged as he slept he imagined the person beside him as Hinata. If he could only have the courage to give Hinata a confession of his love. If only that Kiba, wasn't in his way that way Hinata would have already been his. If only shinobi were allowed to love another shinobi.

Shino had thought many times of not becoming a shinobi because he knew Hinata would never live her life like that. So he thought never putting his life on the line he could as least see Hinata grow old with him. Wishful thinking, a figment of his adolescent mind. He never would be allowed an exit, never not but his family nor the Hokage. They would all say he was to valuable a shinobi to lose to his feelings for a wasted try—Hinata.(I'm being soo mean to her lol) Either way Hinata would never be his, Kiba that idioit would gather some courage and tell her, or she might someday tell Naruto how she feels. But now she is still accepting the fact that she will never be a shinobi like Kiba, Naruto or me.

Hinata returned with packaged breakfast food and some water smiling she entered the inn room. "The boys don't seem to be up yet……..oh well I'll just have to wake them up" she smiled.

It was about 10 o'clock and their boat back home left at 12 so they had to hurry. Sensei would be waiting and expecting a full report of what happened.

Hinata walked over to the bed expecting only Kiba, but to her surprise Shino was there too. And the funniest part was that they were hugging each other like siblings……or something more. "Awwww" Hinata whispered rummaging through her bag for the disposable camera she brought along with her. Snap, snap, snap, snap Hinata took pictures from all possible angles, laughing. Hinata quietly giggled and couldn't wait to show them the photos. She could just imagine Kiba's reaction: "BURN IT" and Shino's: "WHAT THE HELL". Hinata gently shook Kiba's shoulder "Kiba wake up our boat leaves in 2 hours!" "Shino, wake-up time!" Hinata shouted to both of the spooning boys (ahh 4 some reason I can imagine that). Slowly moving Kiba mumbled, "Hinata not so loud I'm sleeping" petting Shino's hair. "Kiba I'm here" as she said that Kiba's eyes shot open as he realized a sleeping Shino hugging his waist. "AHHHHHHHHHH HOLY SHIT! SHINO GET OFF MEEEEE!" Shooting up Shino screaming "DAMMNIT THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! DAMN!".

Laughing quietly Hinata picked herself off the ground and threw breakfast at the two screaming boys.

Picking up their bags Hinata was suddenly disturbed by the silence between Shino and Kiba. "Um are you guys ok?" Hinata asked worriedly "IM FINE OTHER THAN THE FACT SHINO WAS GROPING ME!"

"I WAS NOT GROPING YOU!"

"YES YOU WERE I SHOUILD KNOW BECAUSE I WAS THE POOR INNOCENT VICTIM!"

"POOR AND INNOCENT! HINATA IS THE POOR AND INNOCENT ONE YOU MORON!"

"WELL SORRY, MY MISTAKE!"

Slowly sliding away Hinata wished then never shared a room—as Shikamaru would say "Too troublesome"— this never would have happened.

Boarding the boat Hinata whispered under her breath "Im soo sorry Shino, Kiba". Hearing their names they stop yelling, "What's to be sorry for Hinata?" Kiba asked glaring at Shino. "Really Hinata we're not mad at you we're mad at each other" Shino stated avoiding Kiba. "If not for me we could have gotten two rooms" she said almost crying "Why? What did you do?" Shino asked. Holding up a brown wallet filled with cash "I found it at the bottom of my bag this morning" Hinata cried looking away from Kiba and Shino. Walking up to Hinata Kiba wrapped his arms around her comforting her that all was well. Shino petting her head telling her it was ok.

Hinata felt their love and gently hugged each of them in return. The boat set sail and Hinata showed them the pictures.

"WHAT THE HELLLLLL!" Was all anyone could hear from shore as the Genin from Village Hidden in Leaf sailed away into the distance of the sea.
