HELLO
"Hey, why are you crying?" A child with two triangles on his cheeks asked the girl. He held his pet dog close to him as he asked. He never approached a girl like this before; actually, he never approached girls ever, period.
The pink haired girl looked up to see who it was, but didn't answer. She just kept crying her tears out.
The boy, a little annoyed, asked again, "I asked you what's wrong…!" He said it a bit too loud, for the girl jumped and was now frightened of him.
Trying her best, she mustered up all her courage and answered, "T-those girls were…… p-picking on… me… and…" She hiccupped through most of her words and put her head back down with embarrassment. The boy looked back, seeing a group of three girls whispering as they stared at the pink haired girl. They were most likely gossiping about her, the boy thought.
Sighing, he bent down and came to an eye level with the girl, "What's your name?" He asked.
"………S-Sakura…"
"…Sakura, huh? Well, my name's Kiba," Then he stretched his arms out to show his dog, "And this is Akamaru!" The dog yelped with joy. Grinning, Kiba marked, "He said hi"
Slowly, Sakura started to smile.
"-------Hi"

Sakura watched the starry night sky. She was lying back on the grass plain, the hill not so far from Konoha. Tonight would be the last day before the Chuunin Exams would start. Yeah, she should be sleeping her way through tomorrow, but all this excitement of becoming a chuunin was too much for her.
"Hey"
Sakura shifted her head to see the boy who cheered her up a long time ago. She smiled as the boy laid down next to her, "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Just watching the stars. Couldn't sleep, you?"
"Me neither" Sakura let out a small chuckle, then went back to looking at the stars. Minutes passed as the gazed, and soon, it was Kiba who broke the silence, "Hey, do you remember that day when we made the promise?"
Sakura went to think back, "…Yeah?"
---
"You better not lie to me, okay?"
"O-okay…"
"Pink promise?" Kiba took out his hand out and closed his hand, except for his pinky sticking out.
Sakura hesitated, but gradually raised her own hand and intertwined her pinky with his, "Okay…"
"Now, repeat the promise to me"
"Um… I will always greet you…"
"Yup, me too! Through good and bad!"
"…Yes…"
---
Sakura remembered only part of the even, but she remembered the promise clearly. Smiling about their childish promise, she asked, "What about it?"
"Oh, well, you haven't said anything…"
That's right… Sakura hasn't greeted Kiba yet. Waiting for his 'hello', Sakura sighed, "Jeez…" She raised her upper body up, putting herself in a sitting position, "Do I have to…?"
Then Kiba raised himself up, "Hey! It's a promise ain't it! You gotta keep a promise!" Frowning, he glared at his friend, who only chuckled.
"Fine, fine…" Sakura let out a deep breath then leaned towards Kiba.
"Hey what are you doin---" He was muffled when his mouth was blocked by hers. First, he was shocked, but that all changed quickly into pleasure. But before he could enjoy it any longer, she pulled away.
She smiled and then spoke the word, "Hi"
