Chapter Two: A Cause To Panic
Hinata stared blankly as they both exited the crowded bus. The two both had some time to kill before school actually stared. Kiba turned towards his new project and grinned. He was beginning to plan and plot more exciting encounters that would surely get Hinata recognized...it would just take some time. He grabbed Hinata's wrist and put a small, blue, plastic toothbrush into her hand. She quirked an eyebrow, and no words would be needed to ask, she looked so confused.
"This, my dear friend, is my first project for you. If you ever feel jumpy and utterly depressed just use this. Haven't you heard the saying 'Thats as hard as committing suicide with my toothbrush'?" He asked her, his wide grin showed off his pearly whites.
"Um...no," Hinata responded as she looked at the toothbrush in her hands. Maybe it would come in handy, it was just for reassurance. "I guess that this is...a good idea." She said quietly, her classmates walking around her and towards the building.
"WHAT?" Kiba roared loudly. "I can't hear you. You need to speak UP!" This drew unwanted attention, as Hinata made a tally in her head to kill Kiba after she was noticed by -
"Na-Na-Naruto-kun." She stuttered looking at her fingers. Kiba was the one to quirk an eyebrow now, and he saw the obnoxious, blonde head kid with a group of friends. He was loud...and annoying. He had a feeling he would now hate the word - Dattebayo.
"Pshaw. No way, Hinata. No freaking way is this the guy you are after." A lovely snort accompanied the young male, as he shook his head. "To think I thought you had better taste in guys."
"Sh...sh-Be qu-quiet, Kiba." Hinata snapped with a stutter. Just seeing Naruto threw her out of whack.
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU HINATA!" Kiba shouted to random people who walked by them.
"Kiba!" Hinata gasped and hid behind his dark blue blazer. Kiba stared as Naruto began to walk towards them.
"Time to get the show on the road..." Kiba whispered to Hinata, and fell to his knees. "Please Hinata. Why won't you go out with me? I swear...I will treat you right. Its just...I've never met a girl like you before -" Kiba turned to stare at Naruto as he walked even quicker to see what Kiba was saying clearly. "Quick," Kiba began in a whisper, "What does Naruto love to eat?"
"R-Ramen." She said, blushing furiously as Kiba coughed to pick up where he had left off.
"Hinata! Oh please say yes. I love the way you smell, and how you always keep me full with that wonderful Ramen you always make."
"Ramen," piped a loud, overly excited classmate as he neared them. "Wow! You make great ramen, Hinata?"
"You better believe she does, sir. I'm Kiba Inuzuka. I just transferred here from a school no one cares about. I am a-"
"Wait...YOU are Kiba Inuzuka!" Naruto gaped, and even more people crowded round.
"Um...yes?" Kiba stared blankly at the shorter guy in front of him.
"Wow. Hey everyone! This is Kiba Inuzuka from that band I had heard that one week!"
"What?"
"No way!"
"Yep. You better believe." Naruto grinned and shook Kiba's hand. "Its great to meet you. They all say you are like the next big thing."
Kiba was stunned as he grinned with embarassment. He looked at everyone, and then nothing came out of him until Hinata nudged him in the ribs.
"OH! Yeah...I didn't think people would hear about in Konoha. Aheh. Well, I'm glad you enjo-"
"When is your next concert?" Naruto asked excitedly.
"Um...never." Kiba stated blankly, another silence had been put into play. "We broke up before I moved."
"WHAT?" Naruto shouted, and sighed dramatically. "I need some ramen..."
"Yeah. Sorry to disappoint you pal, but live with it."
"Kiba..." Hinata spoke quietly, still hiding behind him.
"I...gotta go Hinata. I will see ya in class. Your certain adoring fan has to go take a whiz." He kissed her cheek and left her blushing a new shade of red.
"Oh, hey Hinata. I didn't know you knew Kiba."
"Na-Naru-Naruto-kun. Um. Well...you see...he sits with me in class." She spoke softly, not looking up at her idol.
"Ah. I see. I gotta go Hinata, would you like me to walk you to class? After all, we can't have you late." Naruto grinned carefully down at her, and she nodded softly. "Okay then, lets go."
The walk was short, and the conversation was even shorter. It was now decided that Hinata would bring in her 'homemade ramen' to Naruto for tomorrow. She sat down, and noticed Kiba was already sleep on his desk. She smiled softly; so far his plan was working.
"Thanks Kiba." She murmured and sat down beside him. He didn't respond, only drooled on his desk silently. She sighed and began to take careful notes for both her and her new partner in crime.
Lunch had rolled on down, and people began to shuffle from their seats. Kiba was still sleeping, and thanks to Hinata the teacher never picked on him. Hinata always raised her hand before the teacher's gaze settled on the sleeping sack to her right. She poked him lightly, and he mumbled something incoherent.
"K-K-Kiba-kun...It's time for lunch."
"Ugh...Hana...one more minute. I'm tired..."
"Kiba..."
He blinked, and looked up at the scowling, violet-haired girl he had befriended. "Oh. Hey there Hinata!"
"Kiba, its lunch."
"OH BOY! Where do you usually sit Hinata?"
"Um...On the roof."
"The roof?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Okay then. To the roof." He dramatically struck a pose, earning a sigh of laughter. He began to walk quickly to the right.
"Kiba...Its forward."
"Alrighty then!" He yipped excitedly and began to walk in the new direction. By the time they made it to the roof their time was cut in half. "Great directions, Hinata." He mumbled as he let the cool breeze hit his face.
"Great following, Kiba." She sighed, and sat properly on the floor. She opened up her bento and began to eat the octopus-shaped meat from her lunch. She stared up at Kiba, who was peering down helplessly at her food, and then she offered him some. "Go ahead and take it...I'm not hungry."
"Sugoi..." He mumbled, a careless grin embraced his face as he began to chow down on the leftover onigiri. "So..." He paused from his conquer on her lunch. "How did the walk with Naruto go?"
"Ano...it was...nice. He really likes your music, Kiba. Why didn't tell me that you were in a band?" She blinked up at him, as he sat beside her.
"Eh. It is hard to mention my life story a day after I meet you Hinata-chan." He teased as he poked a pickled vegetable with his chopsticks. "But it doesn't matter. We are through."
"How come?"
"Um..." His grin fell as he stared at the empty box. "Complications. That's it. I was moving so there was no way to stay together."
"What do you do?"
"Oh...Um. I sing," He paused to embarrassedly scratch his cheek. "And I play the guitar...not well though."
"Ah. I see." She wasn't able to handle an uncomfortable Kiba just quite yet. Just then two guys leaned against the door. "Gaara-san...Kankuro-san." She squeaked, and Kiba looked up to see two unfamiliar faces. The short, red-head seemed to have used too much of his sister's eyeliner, and his pants seemed extremely tight. The guy next to him must have liked Visual-K bands due to the purple, dramatic make-up on his face.
"Hello there." Kiba spoke, grinning as he got up. "What do you two need?"
"Kankuro." The red-head nodded towards his brother, and did not speak another word.
"Uh. Right. Look kid. You need to join the Guitar Club with us and a few others. We sure would like to have you come with us. I'm the president, Kankuro and Gaara is the vice. We have heard your stuff before and it would be cool for you to join."
"Sure. Why not?"
"Okay then. Meet up after school in room 201-B. See ya." Kankuro left with Gaara as Kiba scratched his cheek haphazardly.
"That...that's great Kiba. You will get friends in no time."
"I guess. It's part of my plan, Hinata-chan. I will become well-known easily, and then you will come up with me. It's a piece of cake. Come on, lets go." He exited quickly, not wanting to be late for class...either that or he just didn't feel like talking anymore.
"Kiba..."
The two made it a minute after class had stared; both walked to their seats, blushing at the accusing glances their classmates gave. Luckily for them, nothing happened and the day went by smoothly. Hinata would nudge Kiba if he fell asleep, and share he book and Kiba tried to focus.
"HINATA-CHAN!" wailed a certain pink-haired girl as she waltzed over to her desk. Kiba was sleeping and didn't seeming ticked off at her loud voice. "Hinata-chan, you need to stay after and manage our class' recent fund raiser income. If any luck we will be able to go some where better than the museum like last year. Thanks alot, Hinata-chan. You're the best. Bye. SASUKE-KUN SHE SAID OKAY!" And with that, the vice-president left Hinata speechless. Gripping her bag tightly, she kicked the desk lightly.
"What a cow." Kiba yawned, getting up. "You should have said something."
"K-K-Kiba..." She stared at the floor, blushing again. Her new friend just smirked, and packed up his things.
"Oy. I'll be off in room...wait. What was it?"
"201-B..."
"Right. Right. Come get me when you are done, I'll walk you home. Plus, I have some more ideas to get Naruto's attention. It will be perfect." He waved her off in dismissal and left her there with his bag.
"Bastard..." She swore, and couldn't help but smile as she began to manage the class bills; luckily for them, they sold ramen this year.
Finally, after an hour of hard work, she had finished budgeting and maintaining an even balance. Stretching, she put on her bulky coat and then her scarf. Grabbing Kiba's bag, and her own, she left the room in haste to find him. Her foot steps down the hallway slowed down as Hinata drew slowly around the corner to the Guitar Club's room. Pausing at the door, she heard light, melodic notes come from the room. They tingled in her ear as she heard an uncertain cough. Then the intro began to build up after the second repetition. Finally, a voice could be heard through the silence. It wasn't smooth, or soft; it wasn't brash or noisy. Instead, it sounded mature, and beautiful.
"Meet me in outer space
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me
We could start again..."
Just then it crescendoed and she knew someone else was in the room because of drums rattling the door.
"How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew..."
His voice was belting out the words, even the chords on the instrument seemed jumbled, but the emotion Hinata felt, made her knees buckle.
"Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close, If your afraid of heights
I need you to see this place, It might be the only way
That I can show you how, it feels to be inside of you,"
It repeated again, Hinata never heard the song before. It was so odd, it suddenly got soft and then it burst out into emotions. She heard coughing again as he played through a riff, but the chorus still was sung with intensified emotion.
"How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
Oh...
You are stellar
You are stellar
How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, Yeah."
She had already slid against the door when the two finished their song. She heard more coughing and then some laughs from the two men. Her pulse was certainly beating at an alarming rate, and her face felt blood rush to occupy her cheeks. She tried to breathe, though she felt an odd emotion rush through her body. She squeaked as she saw Gaara leave the room, only pausing to see Hinata on the floor. Sticking drum sticks into his back pocket, he smirked at her and left. She then looked up to see Kiba hovering over her.
"Hey there. Ready to go?" He said, before coughing slightly.
"Um...yes." She quietly spoke, and lifted herself up from the floor. "Here..." Kiba took the bag from her hands, and grinned.
"Thanks. So...how long have you been waiting? I'm sorry if it took a while, it's just Gaara wanted to hear me sing. He told me I could do a hell alot better. Such a nice guy."
"It sounded...truly amazing Kiba. It was an American, right?"
"Yeah. Incubus. They are amazing. They helped me alot in English. A lot of the bands I listen to do."
"Oh...it was a nice song. Your voice is really..."
"Awful. I know. I'm sick, so I sounded like shit today. I'm sorry you had to hear that. Let's go eat!"
"Okay..."
And off the two went to the Ramen Shop. To get the wonderful ramen that Hinata promised to bring Naruto tomorrow. On their way leaving, Kiba was picking on Hinata for being unable to cook, and Hinata was blaming Kiba for spreading the lie to begin with. Just then a unfamiliar ring tone broke their laughter.
"Fuck..." Kiba's eyes grew wide as he stared at the phone. "Hello? Hi mom. No...Hana...Hana went out tonight, remember? Yeah. I promise she'll be home later. Uh-huh. You need help sleeping. Got it. I love ya, too. Bye." He stared at the phone before flipping it shut. "I'm sorry, Hinata. I gotta go help my mom. She really needs me. I will be back at your place tomorrow. Bye - Oh. Crap. Wait. I can't leave you here by yourself. Shit...Um..." His foot tapped as he scowled through his phone book. He pressed the enter button, and held it up to his pierced ear. "Oy. Hey. Where are ya? It's Kiba. Yeah. Can you do me a favor? No, not money. I need you to take a friend of mine home. Yeah. Yeah. I know. But my mom...Really? That's great. I'll see ya then. Bye." He snapped the phone shut again, and grinned at her. "It is taken care of. My friend will be here any minute..."
Both sat down at a bench, Kiba's foot...well his leg was shaking uncontrollably as he kept looking down at his watch. "Finally...You're here. Hinata-chan, meet -"
"Lee-kun!"
"Hinata-chan?"
"What...wait. You both know each other?"
By then the green sweatered guy bear hugged Hinata furiously; Hinata squeaked softly, before hugging him back.
"Well...that's great. Gotta go. Thanks Lee." Kiba left them there, and Hinata stared at the fading image.
"Lee-kun, how are you doing?"
"Great, Hinata-chan. Your youth seems brighter than ever. Now, lets get you home. YOSH!" They began to walk through the crowds. Lee was more like marching, but none-the-less it was a sight to be seen.
"How come Kiba was so worried about his m-mom, Lee-kun?"
"Oh didn't you know? His sister, Hana died about a month ago. His mom hasn't had her youthfulness set straight ever since then. Let's just say that his mom has lost some of her marbles. She constantly depends on the gallant man; I envy his youth! If I can't get you home in ten minutes, then I will run 5 miles back and forth from your house to mine. YOSH!"
He picked her up, and began to jog the many blocks left, only to let Hinata think about Kiba...What was she going to do?
A/N - Sorry for major suckage and clicheness. Yes. Kiba can sing. And he can play guitar coming close to not sounding like crap. His voice isn't manly pretty though, it's more rough and mature. And what not. Lee made his appearance which means Neji is coming. DUNDUNDUNN!
Thanks for the reviews, you guys. Oh man. It means so much.
