"Wake up Chiemi!" shouted Mari who was shaking Chiemi.

"What!" said Chiemi waking up.

"Look at this!" Mari was Holding a teen magazine that read "Teen Headlines: Kiba and Chiemi together?".

Chiemi rushed out the door and to Kiba's apartment.

Knock, knock, knock

"What is it Chiemi," Kiba asked yawning.

"Look at this!" Chiemi was holding the magazine Mari gave her, "What are we going to do, Kiba?"

"Calm down my little angel," comforted Kiba as he took Chiemi's hand into his on, "We'll be fine. I'll think of something."

"Okay," said Chiemi smiling. Just then, Kiba kissed her, not on her lips, but on her cheek.

Chiemi blushed red as a tomato. She started to walk home when Hikara jumped in front of Chiemi.

"So, Chiemi, I hear you're with Kiba!" teased Hikara who was jumping up and down.

"Yeah," replied Chiemi, "So how are you doing with Shino?"

"Fine, he gave me this ring," said Hikara showing Chiemi her ring, just then she saw Chiemi's ring.

"Who gave you that," asked Hikara.

"Kiba did," said Chiemi pulling her hand away from Hikara.

Hikara went off on her way leaving Chiemi alone on the busy street. Chiemi returned to her apartment, to find Mari reading "A Ninja's Path".

"I got you breakfast," said Mari not taking her eyes off the page.

"Thanks," replied Chiemi.

She grabbed her bowl of rice that was covered in furakaki.

"I wonder who told that Kiba and I were together," said Chiemi.

"To tell you the truth, Namida and I were there when Kiba asked you to be his girl friend," exclaimed Mari, "But I swear we didn't tell."

"Why should I believe you," screamed Chiemi.

"Well you know how when you submit a gossip it tells the date and time below it?" asked Mari.

"Yeah, get to the point," said Chiemi who was getting irritated.

"Well right here it says it was submitted on September 6, 2006 on 4:30," said Mari holding up the magazine, "Don't you remember, Namida, you, and I were eating Ramen at that time. Which means someone else was there at the garden watching you besides Namida and I."

"Who could it be?" asked Chiemi.

"Let's go back to the garden and search for clues," said Mari half way out the door.
