I don't own Naruto! If I did Sasuke would be killed off already!
Chapter 3
(Kiba prov)
She was silent for a few moments. My eyes locked on her porcelain face. Then she said the words that set my skin on fire.
"I'm already engaged to the upcoming head of the Junishi clan. His name is Kyo and I honestly have never seen him or met him." She sighed and I felt a mix of emotion.
I'm pretty sure the pain was desplayed as my expression but I was boiling mad! I couldn't BELIEVE her father would do that! Just set up two people who havn't even met eachother and expect them to get married!
"When are you getting married?" I asked, my voice slightly shaking with anger.
Her violet eyes looked dreamy like, as if she was going to cry. "In about 6 months when I turn 16." She sucked in a sharp breath as if to hold back tears.
"This is a tradition in my family. The father of the child choses a suitor according to the clan so we may join the two clans. There really is no other choice. My father found out about me liking a fellow ninja and couldn't stand for it. I was going to originally marry Neji but my father changed it because this clan is of the same rank as ours."
I held my breath and tried to calm myself, for fear of losing my temper and having Akamaru rip this Kyo guy's throat out.
Kakashi was at the door of the gym. Naruto and Sakura's heads turned and nodded. "Sorry Hinata but we can't be late for our mission. It's good to see you back." Naruto said and he and Sakura dissapeared.
Ten-Ten checked her watch and said, "Yeah, Hinata it's REALLY good to see you but Lee's waiting. I'm meeting him at my place." Hinata raised one perfect eyebrow and said, "Are you and Lee dating?" Ten-Ten smiled and waved and was gone.
Shino dissapeared to somewhere but I didn't hear what he said. My eyes where stairing at Hinata. I felt greive for her. She had to marry some stranger.
I finally brought myself to ask her, "Where will you go after you marry him? Will you and him stay here in leaf village or…?"
She met my gaze, her eyes dreamy, tears welling in the courner of her eyes. "It's tradition that the wife must leave her village and live in the village other village with her husband. As far as I know, the Junishi clan is in the Hidden Waterfall village."
She used the sleeve of her shirt to wipe the tears away and then handed me back my jacket. I wanted to comfort her but I knew she didn't want my comfort… she wanted Naruto's.
"Kiba will you stay here with me, if it's not to much of a burden."
"I'll stay. Hinata your never a burden." She blushed a little at that.
She turned toward her post and started jabbing and kicking it with accesive force. As she kicked her eyes were over run with tears. They streamed down her face and would hit the floor when she jabbed the post.
I finally found my voice after watching her for a minute and feeling horrible about letting it continue, "Hinata… take it easy don't hurt yourself." I said softly stepping closer.
Once she heard my voice she stoped and turned toward me. She leaned on the post and let herself slide down it to the ground, her face soaked with tears.
"Hinata!" I screamed. I rushed toward her and I whispered, "I'm so sorry." My heart ached for her. She sobed into my shoulder as I wrapped my arms around her. She whispered between sobs, "I-It doesn't m-matter… No one in this village likes me anyways."
I couldn't believe my ears. I used my index finger and pulled her chin up. I whispered, "That's not true." And I leaned in closer and kissed her tear streaked cheek. "I like you alot Hinata. I've always wanted to tell you that." She barried her face in my shoulder and whispered, "I like you to Kiba-kun." My heart skipped a beat and I almost kissed her again but it wasn't the time nor place.
