Chapter Four:
Day Three: These Are His Gay Confessions
A/N: Gah, I haven't updated in over a month! Truly sorry guys, but school's really rough, and I don't think I'm passing a class. You forgive me, right? You all came up with truly great ideas, and I'd like to thank twinkle twinkle LITTLE STAR for giving me the idea for this chapter! I could've sworn someone else suggested this idea, but I can't remember... Don't worry, if I've told you I liked your idea, I might still use it in a later chapter, thanks again!
"K-Kiba," Hinata stammered, twiddling her fingers as usual. Kiba looked up from the ramen he was eating, to see his comrade looking frozen with shyness. What could she possibly want?
"Yeah?" Kiba asked casually. Hinata twiddled her fingers again.
"Kiba, I love yo-"
Before Hinata could finish her sentence a loud bark rang in Kiba's ear, twisting him out of reality. It took another bark and a paw to the face to get the boy to wake up, but he managed to get out of the bed eventually.
"Dang it, Akamaru…" Kiba grunted, jumping out of bed pulling on clothes so he could go meet Neji for the third day in a row. "Why'd you have to wake me up at that moment? Hinata was going to confess her love to me!"
Akamaru gave him a look as if to say, "That's never gonna happen." but Kiba ignored him, picking the dog up and placing him on his head, ready to head to the Hyuuga mansion.
Why couldn't his dream have really happened? That would've been awesome, Hinata proclaimed her love for him. Then he wouldn't be running around Konoha, trying to stop her from seriously telling Naruto her feelings for him. Things were so difficult, and nowadays it seemed that Hinata couldn't be fooled. Would anything stop her from loving that baka?
Kiba had turned a corner, still running towards the Hyuuga mansion, when he saw Sasuke, grunting and ripping up a piece of paper and tossing the bits on the floor. Kiba was reminded of how Sasuke made off with Neji's ramen coupons the other day, and wondered if he was ripping them up to spite Neji. Curiosity taking control, he made his way over to the Uchiha prodigy and tapped his shoulder.
"What are you ripping up?" he asked, and Akamaru gave a curious bark. Sasuke looked up and him and growled. He scooped up the paper bits off the floor and shoved them in Kiba's hands.
"Uzumaki just sent me his 'status report'," he growled. "I'll murder him when he gets back…"
Kiba sat on the floor, and with an added help from Akamaru, they pieced the note together, and found out why Sasuke was so mad. The letter had read:
Sasuke-teme,
Things are going great here, dattebayo! I've got the easiest mission ever, and I get free ramen everyday! I bet you wish you could be here, huh Sasuke-teme? Remember, I have Gama-chan with me, don't try and mess up my house looking for it.
Oh, and take care of Sakura-chan, but don't even think of getting too close. We all know you're gay, so she couldn't have you even if you wanted! Even if she confessed her love to you, you always turn her down, because you're gay! But I guess it's good thing you're gay, so I don't have any competition.
Oh, and you're buying me ramen when I get home.
-Naruto, the next Hokage, dattebayo!
Kiba held back snickers while Sasuke rolled his onyx eyes. Akamaru, on the other hand, was pointing down at the part where Naruto was talking about Sasuke being gay. Kiba eyed his dog and re-read the paper.
"Even if she confessed her love to you, you always turn her down, because you're gay! But I guess it's good thing you're gay, so I don't have any competition."
Kiba smiled. "That's it! Uzumaki's gay!"
"I know he is," Sasuke stated, looking ready to kill someone. "But how does that help you? And how does that help me kill him?"
"Sasuke!" Kiba exclaimed, pounding his fist in his hand. "Help me convince Hinata that Naruto's gay!"
Sasuke gave him a questioning look. Kiba sighed and prepared to explain. "If Naruto's gay, he won't be able to like Hinata because…well…gay men don't like girls. That way, Hinata won't proclaim her love to him because she'll know he'll turn her down because he's gay! It's genius!"
Sasuke nodded, while standing up and brushing off his pants. "It'll be just you and me then, Neji's not at home."
It was Kiba's turn to be confused. "Why?"
Sasuke pulled yet another note from his pocket and smoothed it out. "I found this note on his door today, it read: 'Kiba, go on without me today, I'm in the middle of commencing a plan that might work, in the meanwhile, watch out for Hinata.'"
Kiba sighed, wondering what Neji might have in store for tomorrow. "Oh well, at least we have a plan, and you're coming with me, Uchiha."
"I still don't see why I have to go…"
Kiba grinned mischievously. "You're coming with me, because we're telling Hinata that Naruto is gay AND is already taken…Taken by you!"
-----Finding Hinata-----
Sasuke complained, whined, begged, threatened, blackmailed, and tortured Kiba so he wouldn't have to go through with this. Kiba only ignored him, and pulled him by both wrists into Konoha, saying that this was the only way Naruto would get off his back.
They first made a quick stop at Sakura's house, who unwillingly gave Kiba a picture of Sasuke and Naruto kissing, from the time when they had first met. Feeling more confident, he raced over to Shino's place, where Hinata usually was found, to tell her the "devastating" news.
Shino and Hinata were in the back porch, and for the third time this week, he gritted his teeth in annoyance. The necklace of flowers Hinata made on Monday was draped on the steps carefully, the orange butterfly she had caught yesterday was also on the steps, now with a tree branch and other food for it to eat inside, and finally, Hinata had made an orange sweater with a fox on it, with Naruto's name embroidered on it with black thread. Kiba had half a mind to go and rip the sweater apart thread by thread, but he kept his cool.
The twosome, Shino and Hinata, were now carving something, and before Kiba butted in, he stopped to see how happy Hinata looked. She wasn't very good at carving things, occasionally she'd cut herself on accident, but would laugh it off and press her finger against the ground to stop the blood. She was so happy…did he have a right to break up her happiness?
HECK YES HE DID!
"Hinata, Hinata!" he cried, rushing over to his friends. Shino stopped his carving and looked up at Kiba with annoyance, while Hinata looked at her friend with worry.
"What's wrong, Kiba-kun?" she inquired. "Did something happen?"
"I've just found out the weirdest thing!" Kiba squealed. He pushed Sasuke out in front of him, and the raven-haired ninja was about to speak, but suddenly, Shino's mother came out of her house, waving an envelope around.
"Honey, it's for you, the mail-nin must've made a mistake while mailing your letter," Shino's mom said sweetly, then returned to the house. Hinata forgot all about Kiba and opened the letter up eagerly. It was from Naruto! She read it aloud eagerly:
"Hinata,
I wanted to rant about Sasuke, but I've already sent him a letter explaining how gay he is, and Sakura-chan might beat me up if I started talking bad about the teme, so I decided to mail you! He's really gay, isn't he? Unlike me! Hah, I'll never be gay like him in my life.
That's all I wanted to tell you, see you in two days!
-Naruto, the next Hokage, dattebayo!"
Kiba twitched, how convenient it was that he sent a letter to her explaining that he wasn't gay…
"What did you want to tell me, Kiba-kun?" Hinata asked sweetly. Kiba only shook his head, and dragged Sasuke away by the wrists again, sighing as he walked home.
"You should just tell her you like her," Sasuke stated simply. "Wouldn't that be easier?"
"You Don't understand at all!" Kiba exclaimed. "I don't…I can't do that! What if she rejects me? I don't wanna be rejected!"
"Hinata's taking that same chance with Naruto," Sasuke noted. "She doesn't seemed scared in the least."
Kiba stopped, and released Sasuke, who smirked in his face. "You've got two more days, wise guy. I'd hurry before you loose her forever."
The Uchiha walked away silently, and Kiba could only stare at the ground.
Two days… there'd be no time for a plan on the last day, so technically that only left him one day!
Whatever Neji had planned, it better be good.
A/N: Ohmigoshers, only two chapters left! What's gonna happen? What does Neji have planned? Will the story end as NaruHina or KibaHina? Will KibaHina fans and NaruHina fans hate me if the story doesn't turn out as they planned? Will I have to change my pen name to escape the madness? Why am I asking all these questions? Why haven't you reviewed yet?
