Ohayo Minna-san! Again I must apologize to you for the long wait. I've been pretty busy, and distracted. You see, I got really in to Fruits Basket, and neglected my Naruto devotion, so I had to get caught up, and then my brother was sent to Iraq. Yes my big bro is in the army, no further questions. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: Really, if I owned Naruto, release would be much slower than weekly (as we have all seen) and Sasuke would have killed Itachi quickly instead of it taking like 10 freaking chapters!!

Chapter 5:

A Really Bad Day

"Regular talking"

"Thinking"

(Kiba)

Kiba woke up suddenly and completely Already the first pale streaks of dawn had begun to creep into the sky. He sat up and looked around the camp, it seemed like everyone else was asleep. Everyone except… "Hey, where are Hinata-chan and Naruto?" Both of them were gone.

Then, just barely, Kiba heard whispering. It was so quiet at first he wasn't sure if it really was whispering, but after listening for a few moments he was sure that's what it was. Slowly, quietly, so as not to be noticed he stood up and walked toward the sound. Kiba slowly crept up on whoever was talking. When he got close enough to distinguish voices, he recognized Hinata and Naruto's. Immediately anger flared inside him, "Naruto spending time with Hinata-chan alone like this, if it keeps up, if what Shino told me is true, I'll never win her over. I can't let that happen."

Naruto and Hinata were sitting close together in a small clearing not far from the camp they had set up for the night. On the edge of the clearing was tall grass, tall enough for someone to hide behind, and a large tree, again, large enough for someone to hide behind.

Kiba sneaked up to the tree and hid there to listen to the conversation, but Naruto and Hinata were no longer speaking. The quiet made Kiba very nervous for some reason. So he peeked around the tree, to see something absolutely horrible to him. Naruto and Hinata were locked in a kiss.

Anger flared inside Kiba and he felt ready to tear Naruto to shreds. "How could this happen!? Hinata is mine! I won't let him have her!"

With that thought Kiba sprang out of his hiding place and tackled Naruto, pulling him away from the kiss with Hinata. "Kiba! What the hell are you doing!? We belong to the same village remember: we're not supposed to attack each other!" Naruto yelled as Kiba proceeded to try and beat him up. Hinata stood near by looking rather scared, horrified actually, to see Kiba and Naruto fight like they were.

Kiba barely heard Naruto, his fury made him deaf to reason. All the while the same thought ran through his mind over and over again, "I can't let this loser have Hinata! I can't!"

At this point, Naruto had thrown Kiba off of him and stood up, prepared to defend himself. Kiba also got to his feet, and once again sprang at Naruto. Naruto responded quickly and grabbed one of Kiba's arms and swung him away. "Kiba, what's wrong with you! Why are you attacking me? Have you gone totally insane?!" Naruto yelled at him. Again Kiba ignored him. For a third time, Kiba launched himself at Naruto, this time landing a solid, crushing blow to the blonde's cheek. His voice shaking with anger, Kiba spoke the thought that had been racing through his mind during the whole of the fight, "I can't let this loser have Hinata!" he growled. Naruto's eyes widened at the words and Hinata gasped at the realization of Kiba's feelings.

Kiba started to attack Naruto again but Kakashi suddenly appeared and held him back. "You two are comrades," he said "you shouldn't fight." Kiba calmed down some, enough to realize Kakashi was right, but not enough to rid him of the desire to rip Naruto to shreds. He pulled away from Kakashi and started back toward the camp. "If we're not leaving for a while, I'm going back to bed." He spoke casually as if he had only been up to go to the bathroom, as if the fight had never happened. But inside him, anger and jealousy still burned with a blaze that threatened to consume him completely. As he headed back to camp one dingle thought came to his mind. "Great, the sun isn't even completely up yet and I'm already having a really bad day!"

(Hinata)

Hinata sat up; she hadn't been able to sleep well that night for whatever reason. She stood and walked a little ways away from the camp, and looked up at the stars, which, even though she knew sunrise was not far of, showed no signs of fading. She walked a little farther off, to find a small clearing surrounded by tall grass and one large tree. "What a nice place." She thought, walking to the center of the clearing.

Suddenly she heard something, footsteps, and the grass rustling. Then Naruto stepped out into the small circle of grass. Hinata's heart swelled with joy. "Oh it's Naruto-kun! It looks like we'll get to spend some time together today as well!"

"Oh hey Hinata-chan, I didn't realize you were here." He said when he saw her. Hinata smiled at him. Naruto smiled back. He moved closer to her and they sat down close to each other in the center of the clearing.

They talked quietly for a long time. As the sunrise started, Hinata turned to look at it happily. "Oh how beautiful." She sighed. "Not as beautiful as you." Naruto whispered. Hinata looked back at him, her white eyes shining with surprise and joy. Naruto took her hands in his and looked deeply into her eyes. Then slowly, barley realizing their motions, the two 17-year-olds leaned closer, and kissed.

Hinata's heart was beating so hard she thought it might jump straight from her chest. She had never thought she and Naruto would be kissing like this. It was the most wonderful moment of her entire life. Or so she thought. Suddenly the wonderful moment was cut short when Naruto was roughly pulled away. Hinata opened her eyes to see Kiba swing several punched at Naruto. Naruto was shouting, asking what he was doing.

Hinata scrambled to her feet and backed away. "What's wrong with Kiba, we're all comrades, friends even. Why is Kiba attacking Naruto-kun like this?" she thought horrified. She watched as the two boys fought, Naruto wasn't really fighting so much as trying to block Kiba and talk some since into him. Her thoughts raced, and her heart pounded with fear. Hinata thought about trying to break up the battle, but she was too frightened to move. Then Kiba said some thing that set her heart rate, if it was possible, even higher. "I can't let this loser have Hinata-chan!" She gasped and took another step back. "Me? Kiba is so angry because of me and Naruto-kun? I can't believe it; h-he didn't say anything. But then again, I didn't either for a long time. Come to think of it Kiba has been acting strangely around m for the last few weeks, I can't believe I was so dense!"

At this point, Kakashi stepped in to break up the fight, which relieved Hinata greatly. But she was still a little scared because of Kiba's actions. She flinched slightly when Kiba pulled away from Kakashi. But what scared her even more was the way he casually said he was going back to bed. He acted like nothing had happened, even though Naruto was sitting on the ground with a bloody nose. "Well, you two had better head back to camp as well. We'll sort out what just happened later." Kakashi said helping Naruto up. "Great," Hinata thought "what was supposed to be the perfect start to a prefect day has turned into a horrible start for a terrible day!"

(Naruto)

Naruto rolled over onto his side. He couldn't sleep if his life depended on it. He sat up and looked around. Kiba was sleeping with a goofy smile on his face. Sasuke had fallen asleep sitting against a tree, and Sakura was asleep to, nearby Sasuke of course. Kakashi and Kurenai were keeping watch at opposite ends of the camp. Shino was awake, looking at some bug on a tree. "Weirdo." Naruto thought. He made a note of the fact that Hinata was no where to be seen. He and Hinata had really gotten close over the last month they had spent on this mission. He looked disdainfully over at the small on person tent the feudal lord's daughter was in. It would take another two weeks to reach the point where they dropped her off, and then it would take another month and a half to get back to Konoha. "Spoiled little brat" he thought.

He stood up and stretched. Naruto decided to go off to a small clearing he had found the day before when he had had to get firewood. It was nice place, quiet and just of the camp, but very well hidden by grasses and a tree that blocked most of it from view. When he arrived, he saw Hinata, standing in the center of the grassy circle looking surprised at him emerging from behind the big oak. "Oh hey Hinata-chan, I didn't realize you were here." He said. At that precise moment, a cloud moved away from the moon and cast a pale beam of light straight onto Hinata. "She's absolutely gorgeous." He thought, completely dazzled.

He walked closer to her, and they sat down close together. They had their heads bent close together, because they were talking very quietly. They talked about nothing and everything at the same time. Their conversation didn't really have to many, or any for that matter, meaningful subjects, but Naruto was happy just to hear her voice. Then the sun started to creep into the sky, Hinata turned to watch and said that it was beautiful. "Not as beautiful as you." Naruto said, for a moment he wondered who had said that, but then, he looked deeply into Hinata's pearl white eyes, held her hand, leaned in even closer, and kissed her.

Suddenly, there was a loud thud as something slammed into him and ripped him away from the kiss with Hinata. He opened his eyes to see Kiba. "What's this guy doing?!" his mind screamed. He yelled that very thought out at Kiba throwing him off and getting up. Words had no effect, Kiba launched another attack. While he threw several punches, they all either missed completely or only grazed his face. Naruto threw him off again, yelled at him some more, but again it had no effect. Kiba tackled him again, this time land a harsh blow to the center of his face, which gave him a bloody nose. Naruto once again managed to escape from Kiba. But this time, When Naruto asked him what he was doing, he spoke. "I can't let this loser have Hinata!" he growled, apparently talking to himself. The combination of the harsh words and ruthless anger in Kiba's eyes, made Naruto's blood run cold. Kiba began to charge at him, still on the ground.

Right at that moment Kakashi appeared and held Kiba back from attacking Naruto again. "You two are comrades, you shouldn't fight." He said. At Kakashi's words Kiba seemed to relax a little. He pulled away and headed back toward the camp, he spoke out casually as he went, "If we're not leaving for a while, I'm going back to bed." Naruto couldn't believe it. He acted as if nothing had happened. He looked over at Hinata who seemed absolutely terrified. "You two better head back to camp as well we'll sort out what just happened later." said Kakashi said as he helped Naruto to his feet

A few minutes later, while Naruto washed the blood off his face, he glanced over at Kiba who had fallen back asleep. "Perfect," he thought "The day has barely started and already it's absolutely terrible."

Again I'm so sorry for the wait! Ideas were a long time coming. As a little fun fact, it's midnight (central time) as I right this. It's funny, the later at night I've written these chapters, the better (and sometimes longer) they seem to get. Oh, and if you saw something in here that you suggested in a review, thank you! I don't feel like going through reviews right now to see if that's where I got the ideas for this chapter. Well Sayonara Minna-san!
