The Moment Before We Kiss

Chapter 13: Suprise!!

"So, Kiba-kun..." Hinata began.

"Hmm?" Kiba murmered.

"I've...been wondering..."

"Yeah?"

"H-Have you ever liked anyone besides me?" Hinata asked.

Kiba was suprised at her question. He laughed.
"Of course not!"

Hinata smiled.

"Well, O-Okay...I was just wondering."

Kiba looked away and sweatdropped.
'I can't tell her I used to like Sakura...' He thought.

"Well, if you did..."

Kiba looked back at Hinata.

"Uh-AHH!" Kiba yelled fearfully.

"I would've kicked your ass..." Hinata said with a terrifying glare.

'W-Wha? Why is Hinata like this?! I've never seen this side of her...even after all of these years!!' He thought.

"Heehee, I was just joking, Kiba-kun! You should've seen your face!" Hinata giggled.

Kiba blinked for a second and then sighed a sigh of relief.

"Haha...you got me there alright..." Kiba said.

Hinata continued to giggle.

Kiba looked at her smiling. He smiled as well.
'She's so cute when she does that.' He thought to himself.

Hinata noticed Kiba looking at her. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice what she was doing.

She put her arms aroun his neck and kissed him. Of course, she was blushing when she did.

Kiba then snapped back into reality. He started to blush himself. He pulled away and turned the other way.

Hinata frowned.
"W-What's wrong? Is what I just did bad?" Hinata stuttered.

Kiba laughed.

Hinata blinked.

"Of course not. You just suprised me!" Kiba said, and hugged Hinata tightly, "And speaking of suprises...today's October 10th. You know what that means."

Hinata smiled.
"I sure do, Kiba-kun."


Shikamaru stared into space, not really thinking about anything. He just woke up from his very short nap.

He sighed.

"What's with the sigh, crybaby?" Temari asked.

"Today's October 10th..." He answered.

"So?" Temari said.

"Well, its someone's birthday today." Shikamaru said, hugging Temari from behind.

Temari blushed.
"What's with you?"

"I don't know...ugh, its so troublesome..." Shikamaru said, as he whispered something into her ear.

Temari's eyes grew wide.
"Whoa, really?"

"Yup...he's finally turning 19." Shikamaru smirked.


"Naruto!!!" Sakura yelled, running up to him.

Naruto turned around.
"Sakura-chan!"

"Hey love." Sakura smiled.

Naruto blushed.
"Yeah..."

"So? What's up?" Sakura said smiling.

"Nothing..." Naruto said.
'Oh boy! Wonder what Sakura-chan got me for my 'special day'' He thought.

"Cool!" Sakura said.

'Any time now, dattebayo...'

"Wanna go to the festival?" Sakura said, "I hope they finally opened the final ceremony."

'Still any time now'

"Naruto? Hello!?" Sakura said waving a hand over Naruto's face.

'Come on, just a little longer.'

Sakura shrugged.
"Okay, well, I guess I'll see you later."

Naruto's heart shattered. H felt as if someone ripped it out of his heart, stepped on it, and put it back.

Naruto looked at Sakura as she disappeared into the crowd.
'Sakura-chan?! How can you forget, dattebayo?!' He thought, practically crying.


"Oi, Shikamaru." Kiba said, knocking on the door.

"Coming." A feminine voice called.

Chack
"Oh its you doggy-boy."

"Are you Shikamaru? Whoa! What happened to you?! You look like a whore!" Kiba teased.

"Oh..Oooohhh...you are soooo gonna pay for that, you little punk! Come on, let's figh-"

Shikamaru put a hand over Temari's mouth.
"What do you want, Kiba?"

"Oh hey. Um, well, about the birthday..."

"Oh, its about that, huh?" Shikamaru said, smirking.

"Yup." Kiba said.

Hinata suddenly came from behind Kiba.

"Why don't we give him a suprise party? He likes suprises!" Hinata giggled.

"Hey, Hinata! That's a great idea!" Kiba said.

"Hey it is." Shikamaru said.

"Wir you wef me go?!" Temari muffled. (Translation: Will you let me go?!)

"Oh sorry." Shikamaru said, removing his hand from Temari's mouth.

"Anyways, if we're going to do the suprise thing, then we'll have to get ready for all of it, and the day is practically over!" Temari said.

"Hmm... she's got a point" Shikamaru said.

"Thank you." Temari said proudly.

"Hmm...I guess you're right." Kiba said, when Sakura came running to them.

"Guys! How about we make a supise party for him for his birthday?" Sakura said.

"Yeah, about that, we were talking about it and it can't work out. Sorry." Kiba said.

"Oh...that's too bad." Sakura said.

"Well, let's just all gather here. We all have presents for him right?" Shikamaru said.

Everyone nodded.

"Well, then let's just gather here in the guy's bedroom. We'll just hang-out here." Shikamaru said.

"Th-that's a good idea." Hinata said.

"Yeah, I guess so." Kiba said.

"Hn." Temari mumbled.

"Okay." Sakura said.

"Good. Sakura, since you're Naruto's girlfriend, go get him" Shikamaru commanded.

"Okay!" Sakura said, and ran off.

"Okay, let's get ready."


"Naruto!" Sakura yelled.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto said, still saddened.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so sad?" Sakura asked.

"It's nothing, dattebayo!" Naruto said, giving Sakura his trademark grin.

Sakura smiled.
"Oh yeah!" She began, "I almost forgot! Happy birthday, Naruto!"

Naruto's eyes grew wide. He looked at the small, neatly wrapped box.
"S-Sakura-chan..."

He almost cried tears of joy. He took the box and opened it. It was a orange locket that had two pictures inside, Sakura and himself.

'So she didn't forget...' He thought.

"Yeah, well, I was kinda in a rush so I kinda messed up with the glue...It's okay if you don't like it." Sakura said, rubbing the back of her head.

Naruto shook his head rapidly.
"N-No Sakura-chan! I-I love it! Thank you, dattebayo!" He said and hugged Sakura tightly.

Sakura giggled.
"I'm glad you like it Naruto!"

"Now come on, let's go to the others. This was supposed to be a secret but it kinda didn't work out. We were supposed to give you a suprise party, but we're just going to hang out at the boy's bedroom! Come on!" Sakura said, excited.

Naruto grinned.
"This is all a suprise itself!"

Sakura laughed.

'Sakura-chan...Shikamaru...Temari...Hinata-chan...Kiba...everyone...' Naruto thought, looking at the clear, blue sky, 'Thank you-ttebayo...'
