Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

The two soon-to-be ninjas, headed toward Ichiraku's Ramen shop...

Kiba smiled at Hinata with his fang as they were walking. She's real pretty. Kiba thought. His smile faded but he continued to look at her. But she's changed from when we were little. There was a personality change. More shy. Nervous. And she talked much less. Kiba noticed a lot of differences from Hinata.

Hinata was staring at Kiba as he smiled at her. He then looked as if he was inspecting her, while kind of staring into space. "Uh, Kiba?" She called out to him. No reply, he was still in his own little world. Hinata tried again. "Kiba?" she said, waving her hands in his face, faces close together.

Immedietly Kiba snapped out of his daze. "Huh. Wha?" he mumbled, unaware that he was staring into space.

Hinata backed away a little, "Um... nothing. Just,.. you were staring at me and ... --"

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Kiba answered.

They arrived at Ichiraku's Ramen shop.

"The food here is really good. Theres lots of choices and everything. What kind of ramen do you want?" Kiba asked.

"Hm.. Beef please." she answered, giving a smile.

Kiba nodded, "Hey. 2 beef ramen please." he said, giving his order to the shop owner.

The owner started on the ramen instantly, "Coming right up!" he said as he was behind the stove.

"So, Hinata. Um.. how've you been doing?" Kiba said, trying to bring up a conversation. He truthfully had no idea what to say.

"Uh.. well.." she started.

Just then, Naruto came along and of course, making a lot of noise. "Hey! I want a chicken ramen!" he shouted out to the old man.

The man nodded and smiled, "Sure thing Naruto!" he said, quickly making another one. More and more money for him.

Hinata stopped and thought, looking at him as he burst in, similar as how he always interrupted Iruka's class. Naruto. She had a faint smile.

Kiba noticed her change in expression. Huh. Why is she... Naruto. His eyes flinched, a little annoyed. "Hey Naruto. What are you doing here?"

Naruto took notice of Kiba. "Huh. I'm always here after school. Why are you here?"

Kiba smiled and pointed out Hinata with his thumb. "I'm taking Hinata to lunch."

Naruto's eyes moved toward Hinata's direction. "Hey, aren't you in our class?" he asked, not quite sure.

"Eh." Hinata nodded and lowered her head. "Hai." He finally took notice of me. A smile formed on her face.

"Well, hey!" Naruto greeted, "I'm Uzumaki, Naruto! The next Hokage!" he loudly said and took his hand out for a shake. He had a huge smile on his face.

As Hinata looked at him, she took out her hand, shaking his. "Um.. I'm, Hyuuga, Hinata." she said, also smilinga back at him. "Pleased to meet you."

Their hands seperated. Naruto looked back at Kiba. "So... Kiba" he moved closer to him, "You two going out?" Naruto nudged him, having a snickering smile on his face.

Kiba turned embarrassed, as well as Hinata. Her face turned completely red. When Kiba noticed Hinata's expression, he clenched his teeth. "Look what you did Naruto!" he shouted at him, referring to Hinata. Kiba punched him on the head, which Naruto expected.

"Ow!" Naruto rubbed his head and mumbled. "Geez. I was just asking.. You didn't have to punch me."

Three ramen bowls were placed in front of them. Beef for Hinata and Kiba, and chicken for Naruto.

Naruto's face instantly lighted up. They each took a chopstick and started to eat. "Itadakimasu!" the three each said before they ate.

I am SO sorry that it's so short after such a long time. I have just have no ideas on how to continue and didnt want to leave you guys with nothing. So.. if anyone has any ideas for the next chapter, please notify me!

Please R&R. Constructive criticism is welcome. :)
