Ch. 3

"Arf!" Sakura looked down at the noise. There was Akamaru, panting and wagging his tail. He began sniffing Sakura. She giggled and picked him up.

"Hello, there Akamaru." She stroked him, and he kept wagging his tail. "Oh, wait. Where is Kiba?" She looked around. "Akamaru, are you lost?" he gave an arf that convinced her he was. Sakura began searching Konoha for Kiba, but had no success. Eventually she got tired and sat on a bench. "Where could he be?"

"Right here" Kiba was sitting next to Sakura. She startled, and then laughed a little.

"This is a pretty different pick up attempt." She winked. "Why did you have Akamaru lead me here?"

"For this," He stood and lent Sakura his hand. She stood up and turned around to face whatever Kiba was looking at. A beautiful garden was spread before them. Beautiful, Vibrant flowers were vastly surrounding a stepping-stone path. Kiba and Sakura walked side-by-side through the flowered path. Akamaru was frolicking.

"I have to say, you are quite more of a romantic than Sasuke." Sakura smiled.

Kiba smirked handsomely "I'm not done, yet." Sakura looked a little puzzled. The path finally opened into a clearing with a tablecloth on the ground.

Sakura smiled "a picnic?" Kiba smiled back.

"More like a resting place. If I brought food, the bees would come" they both sat down and chatted for a long time, occasionally laughing at Akamaru being chased by bees.

"Sakura… I'm starting to think that I am in love with you." Kiba grasped her hand

"Kiba…" Sakura blushed. She was not sure what to say.

"Forget about Uchiha! I have never felt the same about anybody, and I will not lose you." He simply leaned toward her and kissed her deeply. They began to kiss many times for a long time, laying on the tablecloth. Sakura reached into kibas pocket and pulled out a leash attached to a collar

Kiba looked to the sky "Thank you god"
