Chapter Twenty
"Kiba-kun, you're getting wet." Hinata said sheepishly while attempting to push the umbrella back so it rested above Kiba's head.
"I'm fine, Hinata-chan." He said sternly while refusing to let the umbrella budge.
Hinata couldn't help but feel selfish as the rain didn't cease in it's pour down.
"But you're all wet." She said while jumping out from under the umbrella which had been blocking the rain from hitting her since they had started walking home from the hospital.
"Hey get back here." Kiba said as he looked at Hinata who was standing still as rain pounded down on her.
Hinata didn't move. She stood there like a stone that is until thunder crashed once again.
Hinata closed her eyes as she flinched and jumped. In the blink of an eye Kiba was once again holding the umbrella abover her now soaking head.
"Kiba-kun ..." She moaned slightly agitated.
Kiba and smiled and pulled her closer to him by wrapping a hand around her waist but only long enough till she was safe from the rain.
"Fine we'll share."
Hinata blushed and looked down. Kiba was acting strange again.
She looked around for Shino but he was gone.
"Uh ... Where did Shino-kun go ?" Hinata asked, still a little nervous.
"Don't know."
Hinata looked down again when Kiba didn't break his gaze on her. With her head down she could still see him out of the corner of her eye, staring at her with no intent to stop.
"What made you decide to go see Naruto ?" Kiba asked.
Hinata looked up a little shocked as to why he wanted or needed to know. Atleast now he wasn't staring.
Kiba's gaze was now directed at anything that seemed worth looking at, besides the young Hyuuga walking next to him.
"Umm ... The man at the Ichiraku noo-"
"I'm talking about when me and Shino met up with you !!!"
Hinata stopped walking and so did Kiba. Hinata looked up at the person who had just so rudely cut her off.
Why did she have to tell him anything ? It was none of his business, but why does he even care ?
"I wanted ... to visit him so I did." She said sternly and started to walk again although Kiba stood in place.
"Are you coming, Kiba-kun ?" Hinata asked.
"How did it feel to see him kissing Sakura-chan ?"
Hinata gasped and slowly turned around.
"Wha- What are you ... talking about ?"
Kiba smirked as Hinata started to tremble.
"You hated it, didn't you ?"
Hinata lowered her face so Kiba couldn't see the tears that were starting to form in her eyes. Then again it was raining so he probably wouldn't be able to tell.
Kiba stepped closer towards Hinata. She could hear his footsteps in front of her as she tried to think of something to say.
"But I can understand that, I would hate to see the person I loved kissing someone else."
Hinata jumped as Kiba placed a hand on her shoulder. Her head was still down but she imagined him smiling.
"That's why ..."
There was now only a few inches of space dividing the Inuzuka from the Hyuuga. Kiba leaned closer.
"I kiss them first." He whispered into her ear.
Hinata instantly burst into tears and smacked Kiba's face away.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME !!!" She screamed as loud as she could.
Kiba rested a hand over his cheek that was stinging and on the verge of swelling as Hinata turned and ran away in the direction of her house.
"Hinata-chan !!! Wait !!!" Kiba screamed back.
O o O o O o O o
Hinata ran as fast as she could. The rain beating down on her harder than before. She had to get away.
The cold ground was wet with rain and Hinata slipped in a mud puddle. Catching herself as fast as she could, she rose to her feet again and ran even faster.
As she ran she tried to wipe away the burning sensation pouring from her clear,white eyes.
Her actions proved useless as they were simply replaced again and again.
She felt a sense of relief she had never felt before when her eyes locked on her home.
When she reached the door, she took her shoes off and ran in. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were muddy from falling on the ground.
As she ran she soaked the floors. She would have to clean it up later but right now she needed to take care of a few things.
"HINATA !!!"
Hinata stopped in her tracks and turned around to greet the angry voice that was no other than her own father.
"yes ..." She answered still slightly sobbing.
"Where were you ?!?! You were supposed to stay with Neji and Hanabi !!!"
"I'm sorry." Hinata said slightly calmed down.
"DON'T SAY YOUR SORRY !!! DID I ASK FOR AN APOLOGY ?!?! WHERE WERE YOU ?!?!"
Hinata gasped as her father stepped foward swinging his fists around blindly. She dodged but fell to the floor.
She couldn't tell him where she had been one question would lead to another and he would just go crazy.
"Hiashi-sama ?" A voice called from the next room.
"What is it Neji ?"
"I believe Hinata-sama talked to me about an unplanned mission before she left."Neji said while walking into the room.
"But Hanabi didn't say anything to me about that when she got home." Hiashi said.
"Hinata-sama only told me."
Hiashi looked at Hinata waiting for her to spill her guts. He didn't buy this for a second. He knew something was up but he had no proof.
"It was an emergency so we were called in." Hinata said still looking at the ground
"What kind of emergency ?" Hiashi asked while still looking at Hinata.
"Uh ... umm ... I'm ... I'm not supposed to tell anybody about it."
Hinata cursed herself in her mind for such a bad excuse. He would never buy it.
Hiashi turned around.
"So be it. Hinata I expect you to wipe up the floors." He said while leaving the room.
Hinata lifted her head and looked around for her cousin but he was gone.
She sighed and turned back around to go into her room when Hanabi jumped out in front of her.
"That was a lie and you know it !!!" She retorted sharply.
Hinata calmly stepped aside.
"How do you know that ?" She said while walking down the hallway.
Hanabi turned around to face her sister's back.
"Because I saw you at the hospital."
