The Moment Before We Kiss

Chapter 8: Kawaiiiiiii!!!!!

Thank Kami! No more fillers for this chappie!

Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Temari, Hinata, and Kiba were watching the fireworks when they were told that the divorcement part of the ceremony was cancelled for that day, so, this is what they did on the break they got from protecting the festival.

First, let's start with Temari and Shikamaru for all you TemaShika fans!!!

Shikamaru and Temari decided that they wouldn't go to the hotel that they were staying at right after the fireworks, so they went to a food stall.

"Dammit, I want some miso soup! How can they NOT have miso soup?!" Temari complained. "I mean, how come? Hmm?! How come they don't have miso soup?!?!"

"I'll just get a hamburger." Shikamaru said to the waiter, "Just eat something else...ugh how troublesome..." He said to Temari.

"Don't you troublesome me!" Temari yelled. "Like, don't you think its crazy that they don't have miso soup?!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes.

"And don't you DARE roll your eyes at me crybaby!!!" Temari screamed.

"Okay, Okay, just be quiet. This isn't home anymore. We're at a festival." Shikamaru said. "People are starting to stare."

"Festival my ass. I never even wanted to come here in the first place." Temari mumbled.

Shikamaru sighed and put an arm around Temari.
"Come on, let's go see some stars or something."

Temari blushed slightly.
"Fine..." She said and layed her head on Shikamaru's shoulder, and smiled.


Next up, Kiba and Hinata for all you KibaHina fans!

Hinata was very tired and Kiba was very energetic from the whole 'concert'. (Go back to Naruto Ondo)

Hinata wanted to go back to the hotel and they did, although Kiba really didn't want to go to bed yet.

"Kiba-kun...-yawn- let's go back to the hotel. I'm very tired..." Hinata said, laying her head on his shoulder. (de ja vu?)

"Aww...fine. Your such a party-pooper!" Kiba whined.

"But the 'party' you talk about is cancelled for today." Hinata said.

"-sniff- Please???" Kiba pouted.

Hinata giggled. "...No." She simply put.

Kiba sighed. "Fine."

Hinata gave Kiba a quick kiss on the cheek and told him, "I love you Kiba-kun, please hold me tight..."

Kiba blushed and told himself to stop blushing. He put an arm around her waist and walked back to the hotel. (awww...so romantic don't you think????)


And last but not least, NaruSaku! I've been writing about these two more than ShikaTema and KibaHina so decided that they would be last today! But that doesn't mean after this chapter is over! I wouldn't make this chappie that short!!!

Naruto gulped down a glass of water like he was dehydraited. (sp?)

"Are you that thirsty?" Sakura said amazed.

"-gulp- Yup." Naruto said as he put the glass down.

"Well, let's go back to the hotel now." Sakura said, leaving already.

"H-Hey! Wait up, Sakura-chan! Dattebayo!" Naruto said, running after her.
He grabbed her wrist.

"Huh?" Sakura said as she turned around.

Naruto pouted.
"I said wait up-ttebayo!" Naruto said. (Note: I made it like ttebayo on purpose. I made so it was part of the word 'up')

Sakura laughed.
"Sorry, Naruto."

Naruto grinned.
"Just kidding dattebayo!!" He said and ran, heading to the hotel.

Sakura froze for a second.
"Huh??... NARUTO!!!!" Sakura said as she chased after him.


Shikamaru and Temari sat on a bench, and looked up at the brilliant night sky. It was filled with bright, shiny stars. It was the perfect...except when...

...Shikamaru started to get tired.

"Wow! Look at the stars pinapple head!" Temari said, staring at the stars as if they were money.

"-yawn- What's so special about the stars?" He said.

"What?! Your the one who wanted to come here!" Temari yelled.

"Did I? Well, let's go back to the hotel now...I'm so tired..." Shikamaru yawned once again.

Temari pouted. If she pouted any more, she would look like a puffer fish.
"Meanie..."

"Am I? Come on." Shikamaru said, and carried her piggy back.

"W-Wha?" Temari said.

"It'll be less troublesome." He said.

Temari laughed.


Hinata and Kiba got dressed into their pajamas and went into their seperate rooms. Kiba went into the boys bedroom, where he would stay with Naruto and Shikamaru. Hinata went into the girls bedroom, where she would stay with Sakura and Temari.

"Good night, Kiba-kun." Hinata said, and gave him a good-night kiss.

"G-Good night Hinata." Kiba said, and went into his room.

Hinata went into her room and saw that no one was there yet. She giggled.
'I guess everyone's having fun!' She thought. 'Well, that's no fair!'

Kiba also saw that no one was there so he went outside, into the hallway.

Hinata did the same.

Clack

Kiba and Hinata shut the doors behind them...

"Kiba-kun?!" Hinata said, shocked.

"Hinata?" Kiba said, also shocked.

"What are you doing out here?" They both said at the same time.

"You go first." Kiba said.

"Ummm...no you." Hinata said.

Kiba laughed.
"Well, I guess neither of us will answer. Uhh... wanna come into my room?" KIba suggested.

Hinata thought for a minute.
"Ummm...Well..."

Kiba knew what she was thinking.
"Haha, I won't bite."

Hinata giggled.
"Okay."


Naruto and Sakura walked together, hand to hand. They didn't want to spoil the fun if they got to the hotel.

"So...Naruto...umm -blush- I've asked you if I looked more womanly five years ago...and...so?" Sakura asked.

"Like I said, you look the same!" Naruto grinned.

Sakura twitched.
"Riiiight..." She said, trying to calm her anger down. "Thaaanks..."

"No problem!" Naruto smiled proudly.

"-sigh- Naruto...do you...really love me?" Sakura asked, looking down at her feet.

Naruto stared at Sakura with wide eyes.
"Of course I do." He said.

"Hn..." Sakura mumbled.

Naruto was hurt. He stopped walking but didn't stop looking at Sakura.

"What's wrong?" Sakura said, and she turned around.

"You...don't believe me when I say I love you?" Naruto said.

"What?! No! Of course I do!" Sakura said.

"..."

"Naruto?-"

Naruto hugged Sakura.
"Sakura-chan...believe me...I love you... I loved you ever since we were in the academy!"

Sakura sighed. "I know Naruto. I'm sorry. I love you too."

"Hontoni?" Naruto said. (Hontoni is 'really?')

"Yes." Sakura smiled.

Naruto grinned.
"If you really love me...then...kiss me!" Naruto said.

Sakura blushed.
"W-What?!"

"You did it before!" Naruto said.

"B-But!"

Naruto pulled Sakura closer.

Sakura smiled.
"Okay..." She whispered.

She put her hand on his cheek and he closed his eyes.
'I love you Naruto...I've always had...' She thought and closed her eyes.

She leaned forward and pressed her lips onto Narutos.


Kiba and Hinata were playing video games in the boys bedroom...

"Dammit, Hinata, stop winning!!!" Kiba whined.

"Wow, Kiba-kun! First at arm wrestling and now video games?" Hinata giggled.

Kiba turned the game power off and walked slowly over to Hinata.
"Oh, your going to get it..."

Hinata screamed playfully as she ran and jumped onto the bed.
"Try and catch me!" She laughed.

Kiba chased Hinata around until he cornered her.

"Checkmate!" Kiba said.

Hinata looked around, looking for a way to escape, or some way out of his situation.

"Byakugan!" Hinata looked through the door, and saw Naruto and Sakura walking to the door.
"Kiba-kun! Naruto-kun and Sakura-chan is here!" Hinata said.

"Oh no, I'm not falling for that." Kiba said.

"No! Really!!!" Hinata said.

"Nope, Here I come!!! CHAAAARGE!!!" Kiba pressed Hinata's body to the wall and tickled her.

"Hahaha! No! Hahaha! Kiba- hahaha!- stop- haha!-please! I can't-haha! breath!!!" Hinata said in between laughs.

"Woops!" Kiba said.

Hinata dropped onto the floor, still laughing.
"Kiba-kun...now your going to get it!"

"Uh-oh..." Kiba said and ran to the bed.

"I'm still going to get you!!"
Hinata ran and jumped on top of Kiba.

"Oof! Your heavy!" Kiba said.

Hinata pouted.
She leaned in and kissed Kiba on the lips. Her long hair tickled his cheek.

"Mmm!!" Kiba murmered.

Hinata let go and giggled.
"That's what you get!"

Hinata was still on top of Kiba on the bed, and it was funny in a way, but also ratherly...

Clack.

"Uhhhh, I guess it was a bad time to come in...dattebayo."

Someone giggled. It was a girl.

Hinata and Kiba stopped laughing and looked towards the door. It was Naruto and Sakura!

"See! I told you they were coming!" Hinata said and got off of Kiba.

"Alright!" Kiba stated.

"It's not what you think." Hinata said to Naruto and Sakura.

"It's okay. We believe you -giggle-" Sakura said.

"We do? I mean, yes! we do! dattebayo!" Naruto grinned.

Hinata and Kiba exchanged looks and laughed.


"Ehh... your starting to get heavy. Can you walk?" Shikamaru sighed.

"Nope!" Temari laughed.

"Ugh, how troublesome."

"Heh heh!"

"So, are you still hungry?" Shikamaru asked.

"No, not really."

"Good, cause I don't want to go back to the food stalls again."

"Actually...-"

"No! Too late!" Shikamaru said and ran to the hotel.

"Whoa! Okay! Slow down! Ahhhh-ahhh!"

Then, the worst, but hilarious thing happened...Shikamaru dropped Temari.

"OOOOOUUUUCH!!" Temari screeched.

"Uh-oh. This is going to get REEEAAALLLY troublesome!!" Shikamaru said.

"Oh yes, its going to be troublesome..." Temari said, as she stood up.

"-sigh- I really didn't want to go to this, but I have no choice..."

"Wha-" Temari began.

Shikamaru kissed Temari passionately.

"Mmmm?!?!?!?!?!" Temari murmered.

Shikamaru let go and blushed a bit.

Temari froze.
'He did it for real this time!' She thought.

"Hey...Hey! Are you awake?" Shikmaru said. "Ugh, this is troublsome."

"I-I-I..." Temari began.

Shikamaru smirked.
"There's plenty more of that whe we get back to the hotel. Now come on..." Shikamaru said and carried Temari piggy-back style.

Temari blushed and smiled.
'Maybe coming here was a good idea after all...' She thought.
