Chapter 12:

(Hinata POV)

After everyone left and Hana went to bed the only thing I could do was jump up and hug Kiba with so much force I could have cracked a rib. All he did was hold me tight and chuckle. We stayed like that until Kiba pulled away. He stood up and I frowned. All he did was grin and say, "Wait here." So I sat there and waited as he walked down the hall and walked back with a wider grin and something behind his back.

I smiled and he came forward at what I expected to sit down next to me and give me a necklace of something but I was wrong. (Warning: major fluffy goodness coming up!) My smile faded as he kneeled in front of me on one knee. Oh my gosh! He's gonna PROPOSE! My breathing increased rapidly and it all sank in.

I mean I knew it'd come to this but it was really settling! I was gonna be… a wife! I covered my mouth with my hand and he smiled and moved my hand and kissed them then my lips. He pulled open a blue velvet ring box and I gasped. He said in that deep romantic tone of his, "Asuna… I always loved Hinata but now I realize that… you aren't her. At first I concidered you the same person but… Hinata is dead. But Asuna you're here. You are the one I'm proposing to… Asuna will you marry me?"

I was speechless and I felt tears crawling into the corner of my eyes but then I thought why am I CRYING? He's proposing not DYING! I'll have as much time in the world to cry when I'm dead and barried which I won't be for a long time! I choked back the tears and grinned. I nodded and his face glowed with joy. He slid the ring on my finger and my heart stopped.

The stone was a light violet that sparkled like ripples on water. The bland was gold with roses carved into the sides and the inside it had incarved: To my lovely violet rose. You sparkle like this stone all on you own. I looked up to Kiba who just grinned and I lost it. The normal Hinata would be bawling like a baby but not me. I wrapped my arms around Kiba's neck and pressed our lips hard together. I slipped off the edge of the couch and fell on top of Kiba and we both crashed to the ground but neither of us cared.

After we both lost breath we broke apart and just smiled. I toyed with his brown locks as his hands drew circles into my back. "You know I think I'm gonna like this whole 'violet rose' kick." I said playfully.

He laughed at that and said, "What do you mean 'kick'? You are my rose. My violet. My fiancee'." I grinned at that and kissed him again. He picked me up and stood and carried me to bed in his arms, never breaking the kiss. I giggled as he set me down on the bed and crawled next to me. I broke the kiss and giggled.

"Your not getting me that easy." He grinned sinesterly at my stament as if challenging me. I just smirked back and got up to get dressed for night. He did also and we crawled up together under the covers.

"So are we going to live here with Hana after I become Mrs. Inuzuka?" I asked after pondering it in my mind.

"Well about that… I figured since we'd probably want some privacy we could get an apartment. But I don't have time to look. I've got training. I'm signing up for this mission and Tsunade's only excepting the best."

I nodded. "Tsunade said I could start the ninja after the wedding and honeymoon so I have a lot of free time in the day. I could go looking tomorrow. Me and Sakura are gonna go dress shopping on Wendsday so I could do that now and worry about the wedding in a little while." He nodded and kissed me again very softly.

"Your so clever. That's one of the reasons I love you." I grinned back at his love confession.

We soon drifted off to sleep and I grew restless as the thought of tomorrow and the wedding buzzed in mind like annoying flys. The dreams that floated by were peicful and romantic about me and Kiba and it set me at ease.

As morning sun drifted through the curtains my eyes opened and my heart raced with excitement. I looked up to my surprise to see Kiba's face only inches away. His eye lids fluttered slightly in sleep. I smiled and traced his red triangles and stroked his brown locks inbetween my finger tips. When his chocolate eyes didn't move from behind his lids I smiled and thought he's tired from last night. He's like a little child again in his sleep.

I got up quietly and slipped on the owl jacket and black capris and left a note to Kiba saying I was going to look for an apartment. I glanced back to see his sleeping body with the covers moving insync with his breaths and smiled. I blew him a kiss goodbye and strolled out the front door with the feeling of luck on my side.

I walked down the streets of Konoha till I found the palce I was looking for. The Konoha Realestate office. I opened the door to find a desk with a blonde receptionist and walked up to her. She smiled and said, "How can I help you?"

I smiled back and answered, "I need to speak to a realestate agent about the open apartment in town." She nodded and pulled out a long list and scanned her finger over the list of names and times.

"Well… Mrs. Angelise has an opening in a few minutes so just wait over there and I'll call you over in a minute." I nodded and walked over to an area with couches and sat down next to a pregnant woman with what I supose was her husband. They where laughing and talking and acting completely normal. I smiled to myself and thought that may be me and Kiba in a few years. I've always wanted children.

The woman looked over and smiled at me. I just smiled back and asked, "How along are you?"

"6 months. My name's Kagura. Whats yours?" Her eyes were bright blue and were filled with joy about what I think was the thought of her child.

"Mine's Asuna. I just moved into town." She nodded and galnced down to my hand that gripped my purse. I followed her gaze and smiled. "Just got it last night."

She laughed and said, "Lucky you. Just moved in and already engaged. It took me three years to get this dope to porpose." We both giggled and the man smiled.

"Well we've always been good friends. Do you mind if I ask whats it like to be… married?"

She laughed, "It's not that bad. I mean you wake up to someone every morning to someone who loves you, and you think 'wow I really picked him myself'." I laughed and I knew that I made the right decision to leave and start over as Asuna.

"Yeah. I'm just nervous is all." I said which was true.

"Everyone is at first but trust me if you love him and he loves you it'll be fine." I smiled and nodded.

"Miss. Hisashi. Mrs. Angelise will see you now." The blonde receptionist said. I nodded.

"Well thanks Kagura. I feel a lot better now." I sighed with releif.

"No problem. Good luck." She smiled.

"I'll need it with this one trust me." We both giggled as I got up and followed the blonde down a hall and into a room with a black haired girl behind the desk and two chairs sitting in front of it. I sat down in one of the chairs and smiled.

"Hello. My name is Mrs. Angelise, but you can call me Angie. By the looks of you, its your first time buying a place?" I nodded and she said, "No problem. I have a perfect selection of cheap, nice, and medium size apartments that are perfect for new couples. Might I ask what your profections are?"

I nodded and said, "My fiancee' Kiba Inuzuka is a full time ninja. I'm new to the village but I practically lived in this village since we made many trips here. I'm a ninja also but I don't start officially until after the honeymoon and were settled." She nodded and scribbled down what I said onto a notpad and pulled out a stack of files over apartments and set them on the desk.

"Well these are five apartments I highly recommend for you. You don't need to sign anything today or anything just look over them and come back in the next week with your fiancee' and we can sign the paper work." I nodded and smiled my thanks and picked up the stack of papers. Angie handed me a minilla envelope and I slipped them in and walked out.

As I rounded the corner onto our block a chill ran up my spine. I was alone but I didn't feel alone. I could have sensed them if I had kept up with my training but alas I felt deffenceless. I picked up my pace but was froze but what happened next.

A black figure appeared before me and shoved the minilla envelope and my puse out of my hands and when I rose my fist to punch him another figure appeared and grabbed my arm and twisted it and I screamed in pain. Before I could yell for help a stong hand camearound form the back of me and pressed a cloth to my mouth and I had no choice but to breath in the strong drugs. After a few breaths my eyes started to droop and then it all was swept into a lake of dark water…

After what seemed forever my eye lids fluttered open to the sight of a cave wall. I shot up and looked around what appeared to be a cave that was lit by torches. I saw at least five people I've never recognized in a huddle in a corner but only one person in the cave caught my attention…

A person I've known for a long time…

Shino.

I tried to run toward him but chains hanked me back. I looked down to see my wrists were bound by chains and attached to the wall behind me. Shino looked up and I smiled with releif.

"Shino! It's me! Hinata!" He stiffened for a moment.

"Hinata be quiet. The guards will hear you. When everyones asleep I'll explain," He whispered. I nodded. He's not dead!

Thanks for reading this far guys! I hope you all like it! Like I said before: LAST CHANCE!!!!!!
