Chapter 9: loseing a player
Kiba and hinata had left the hotel first. Kiba lead hinata by the hand to the flower shop by the gate where they had came in. "be shure your eyes are closed."
"they are " she smiled.
"watch your step." He kept leading her. he walked her to the green house section of the shop. The smell of many flowers greeted them as the door slide open. A cool misty breeze rushed to them, it felt nice on this hot night.
"are we there yet kiba-kun?"
"just a little more." Standing behind her he took her shoulders pushing her to the middle of the room. " ok now."
He had stepped back so she was alone in the flowers. Reaching a hand up she tugged softly on the blind fold.it fell to the ground as she spun in circle till she could see all the flowers.
"why are we here?" she was happy but unshure of the reasoning for this a bit worried she asked.
"a….pick one. Any one." Her eyes grew wide with delight. Grabbing by the hand. She tugged him along urgeing him th ewhole way to help her pick a flower.
She picked up a small bud that was hardly in bloom. Though it had a small pale pink tint on the see able petals it wasn't the most perfect flower. " this one." He looked at it, in her hands.
It was small, fragile. " are you shure you don't want another flower?" he asked though already knowing the answer, hinata rarely changed her mind.
" I want it." She held it out to him. " this way I can be there when it blooms, to its fullest not after. It will be very pretty. " Here smell " she held it toward his nose.
It smelled like rain water. "do you like it?" she looked up eyes beady and cute. He nodded.
"then can we get it?" he nodded again as the shop keeper came out to check on them.
"did you pick it?" he said trying to look around kiba.
Hinata stepped beside him. " y-yes…"
"so that's the one." He nodded. Kiba gave him a look of shut upness, " boy, I mean the flower." Hinata and kiba blushed.
Paying for the flower they walked out on the streets again. "here let me help." He took the flower from her hands and pushing back some hair from her face he placed it behind here ear. She was burning.
Kiba-kun is so close to me…don't faint… don't faint…"you here that?" in the background you could here carnival music. " want to go?"
"yes." They then walked toward the music.
---- in another place around the fair with ino and shika----
"why are we riding this again?" shika said as ino pushed him toward the farris wheel.
"because I want to go on and chouji doesn't like heights!" now standing in line shika talked again.
"so…" he looked to the sky…
ino raised a brow and looked at him. " yah-"
"about what you said at the camp site the other day I-"
"that its not a big deal" she waved it off.
"it seems like it would be." He looked to her now slightly confused.
"next " the operator man shouted.
"that's us. " ino sat in the seat next to shika as it slowly began to creak to the top.
" I mean why would it be that important?" ino was tryin gto get back on topic now.
"I think who you like is a big thing."
Ino began to laugh. Shika looked at her puzzled.
"you are so confused." She lraned forward laughing harder " I of all people got you."
Shika still didn't quite understand.
"I don't like you."
"but you said that-"
" I know one" she paused. " think about it."
He turned to face the sky, leaning back in the box they where in, it shifted with his weight.
"temari would kill me if I liked you."
"temari " he mummbled
" yah im so not gonna go looking for a death wish, but she does like you , I don't, were team mates but not pals like that. Sorry to disappoint you."
" you didn't. " he was still watching th esky change when the wheel came to a stop to get off. "temari " he mummbled again as they walked off to meet chouji.
Kiba, hinata , and shino found themselves watching a magic act stage front as festival entertainment. (Shino had meet up with them there.)
"that was good." Kiba said clapping after the preformance. " that was great wasn't it hinata. She was standing a chair by the seating section struggling to see over the crowds.
" go ahead." Shino was extremely accepting of the bond they to had grown to have recently , kiba and hinata ,but he was envous that they got to spend so much time togather when he couldn't with korena.
Kiba stood in front of hinata and pulled her on to his back with his arms. " your fine," he assured her griping her tightly against his body so not to drop her." can you see now?"
"yes." She whispered quietly into his ear. The warm breath on such a mild night gave him shivers.
"look another act is starting." Shino said interupting their small moment.
"anyone ,anyone at all, can we have a volunter from the crowd." The man on stage costed with his eyes in the crowd till he could find someone.
"hmm… I wonder who he will pick." Kiba said
"you young man you look strong come here."stepping on to the stage shino reconized him. It was chouji they where also watching the show but in the front rows.
"wow that's convient atleast we don't need to go find them." Kiba said smiling.
"sir we shall tie you to this wheel, and our weaapons master will avoid you while throwingn kuni blind folded."
"I don't think this is such a good-" chouji began to protest before the stage man cut him off.
"you are perfect for this ." he assured him as he walked chouji arm around th eshoulder to the large wheel.
chouji was attached to the wheel by strong leather strapes so he wouldn't fall off. The weapons man took steps back till he reached a marked spot on the floor. Placing a blindfold on he was handed kuni from another assistant.
"wait you said nothing about a blind fold!" ino squeled as the wheel began to spin.
Shika chuckled. " it would be more deserving to hit you with those."
Ino punched shika in the side. He let out an ouf noise, then he gasped for air.
The man threw a kuni, than another and another faster and faster at the spinning wheel.
"whoa…." ino's eyes grew wide.
" I hope he misses," kiba said laughing.
"that's mean kiba." Hinata said.
"not really. His snores ,which that's not just mean to me but cruel, it is to all others in a ten foot vecenity of his sleeping. "
"I didn't hear anything." Shino replied in molotone.
"you didn't hear that train of a guy, the past few nights." Using one hand he pointed to the stage. He shift hinata's weight on the other hand so not to drop her.
"nine…..ten……eleven…." the closer rows were counting how many were thrown at him.
"how long do you think this will go on?" shika said eyes following the spinnning of the wheel.
"what ever will run out first" ino was also watching the spinning wheel " the kuni or chouji's lunch."
Well lets just spare details and say chouji lost.
"nasty…" kiba made a face of disaproval and disgust as he turned from the stage.
"we should go check on him." The group made there way to the front of the crowd finding the others head the opposite way.
"can we get out of this crowd, it feels so constricted." Ino held her arms.
"we are going this way then." Once out of the crowd they talked again.
"chouji isn't even capible of walking at this point. We should deley the mission."
"we cant. This is our only chance to get her back." Shino's voice seemed pleading to the others.
"chouji can go back to the hotel, but the rest of us need to move forward." Shika insisted that if chouji were well enough to talk he would want them to keep going.
So the group moved out headed for the temple.
