Curiosity

Curiosity killed the dog

This simple sentence that Sakura uttered would forever remain in Hinata's heart. He died just because he was curios about what had been upsetting her. It wasn't his business, but he came anyways. To protect her…like he always had.

Curiosity killed the dog

He ended up fighting the man. It was obvious who would win, but he did it anyways. Hinata had shouted at him to stop, to run away but he merely said, "The day I leave you alone will never come."

Hinata wiped her eyes with her sleeves. He did beat the man. Against all odds, he won. But not without paying the price.

She was sobbing by the time she reached his grave. It wasn't fair. He promised. He said he would never leave her alone.

"You broke your promise, Kiba. You left me here, all alone."

Suddenly, two arms encircled her petit body. "It's not nice to assume such things." Kiba grinned at her.

Hinata's eyes widened with shock. "B-but y-you're d-d-d…" she trailed off.

"Dead? No, I'm still here, alive and quite well."

"B-b-but" Hinata said the first thing that came to her mind. "C-curiosity k-killed t-the d-dog."

Kiba raised his eyebrows, before smiling and said, "Curiosity killed the dog eh? Well, satisfaction brought him back."

The first one of my stories that actually has a happier ending. I haven't updated in about forever because I have been focusing on my other stories. Also, when I was just about to update, fanfic was down.Anyways, hope this one was worth the wait : )

Review as always. Me like reviews.
