Disclaimer: I own Naruto. Just like I own the Great Wall of China and France.
Sorry for taking forever to update... too bad I don't have an excuse... Sorry! No parenthesis this chapter either.
Kiba arrived early in the morning, along with Akamaru. A little too early for Hinata. But as she sleepily rubbed her eyes and greeted him, she was happy to see him nonetheless. "Did you have a good sleep Hinata?" Kiba asked, watching her eat her breakfast with more patience than he normally had.
"Yes K-Kiba-kun. I had a very good rest," replied Hinata. "Want something to eat? I can make you something I-if you're hungry..."
"I'm good," said Kiba. He watched her for a minute silently before suddenly asking, "How come you always stutter so much Hinata?"
"U-um... well..." Hinata started blushing, embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond to this.
"It's not that it's a bad thing," said Kiba as he quickly tried to correct his mistake. "I'm just curious is all. But really, you're getting better at talking with out stuttering!"
"I-it's OK Kiba-kun," said Hinata softly. "I-I do stutter a lot... I-I'm sorry..."
"Hinata, you don't need to apologize to me," said Kiba.
"I-I'm sorry Kiba-kun!" then she moaned softly as she realized that she had done it again. "I-I mean..."
"Hey, it's OK," he said to Hinata. He ruffled her hair a little bit and Hinata sighed, relieved that Kiba didn't seem to think of her as being an overly-apologetic wimp. 'How could I have ever thought that I felt this way about Naruto?' thought Hinata as she smiled slightly. 'I'm supposed to be with Kiba! ... I love Kiba, not Naruto!'
Sorry that it's short, I didn't really have much time to write this but I promise I'll try to update soon!
