Chapter 17:

(Hinata POV)

The crisp fresh air stung my eyes as we headed to the place I thought I was rid of forever. Dina and Tygee walked behind us and my nerves crept up on me again. Kiba gave my hand a hard squeeze and my head came back to reality. We stood infront of the main gate of the Hyuuga mansion and I held my breath.

The place was exactly like I left it but an unerving sense of anger and depression fogged the air. I remembered every hall as we walked to my fathers study were he handles all his problems. The door slid open by my not smiling little sister. I held my breath as she squinted toward me in confusion but I knew she saw through my desquise.

She smiled and let us in. My father Hiashi sat like stone as he saw me then his face lit up and his anger faded then his face fell hard again as I heard someone clear there throat.

I glanced at men in the black chairs and my breath caught. There sat Kyo Junishi and his father and what I guessed was the clan elders. There gazes were hooded and angry. I took a seat silently next to Hinabi and Kiba squeezed my hand as I glanced around. Everyone was silent as my gaze landed on Kyo who was grimacing at Kiba and I's intertwined fingers.

I smiled at them all and broke the uncomfortable silence, "So… I suppose you all want to ask questions?" My father sighed and rubbed his forhead and smiled.

"It's just such a relieve to hear your voice. Hinata-," I cut him off.

"Asuna, dad. Hinata is dead. She died along time ago." He looked up in alarm and his eyes were filled with greive. My heart clenched.

"Could we all skip this whole crying mess and get to the legal point of view." I glanced to see Kyo speaking, looking at Kiba with feirce determination. "Hinata Hyuuga is sitting right before us, no matter what name she chooses. Hiashi Hyuuga you made a deal that our clan's would be joined by marriage and marriage alone. Hinata may not be living in a Hyuuga estate but that means nothing.

"The agreement still exists. The only way a marriage contract can be exterminated is if the bride or groom dies or if the bride becomes impregnated by another male. As you can see she is not preganant nor dead. She must marry me or we have rights to take her by force."

My heart thumped wildly and Kiba growled deeply in his chest. Kyo just smirked and my father flipped with determination to find a lupole in the agreement but it was as solid as stone.

"Well since you fools are done playing hide and seak then we will be taking Hinata and be on our way." Kyo rose to his feet along with the elders. Kiba jumped up and lunged for Kyo but I caught his arm. My eyes burned around the edges and my eyes filled to the hilt with tears and slowly trickled down my cheeks.

Kiba's eyes turned to melted chocolate and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders and held me tight. I spoke through his arms, "After all this… we still are on our own side. There really is no changing it…" I felt a tear strike the top of my head and I looked up to find Kiba softly crying.

I turned toward Kyo and spoke softly, "Please… allow me to spend a few more days to pack and to say goodbye." Kyo just stood there and looked me over silently.

"No. I know males like this and they like to mark there property very clearly." Kiba growled out right and lunged for Kyo and landed a punch right into Kyo's left cheek before we could even move. Kyo went flying and crashed into the tall bookcase behind my fathers desk. The books toppled over onto his head and back. The elders rushed to his side and started fussing.

"He's out cold and his wrist is broken," said an elder. I rushed toward Kiba and hugged him round the waist and took hold of his hand that landed the puch. His knuckles were scratched and swelling slightly. I kissed them each and glanced up to see Kiba looking lovingly at me and I kissed him on his rosey soft lips right in the middle of chaos.

A few hours passed and we were at the hospital were Kiba and Kyo were admitted. I stood next to Kiba's bed and rubbed the wrist of his injured hand. They said the bones were bruised and wrapped up his hand tightly. His gaze always stayed on my face and his eyes made me melt.

Kyo was on the opposite side of the room, the two spaces seperated by a yellow curtain. Kyo had a few bruised ribs from the crash to the floor, a bruised jaw from the punch and a broken wrist and had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks. I smiled at that and remembered that it gave me and Kiba time to think of a plan. I knew we would. We always did. I smiled down on his tan face and kissed his red triangles and just about drowned myself from trying to suck in every happy aura in the room.

As the nurse let me and Kiba leave, we walked past Kyo and an elder took my wrist and stopped me in time for Kyo to say, "You are mine as soon as I get out of this hospital. And you mutt… keep your paws to yourself. Go pee on some other bush." Kiba gritted his teeth and said something that made my jaw drop.

"Sorry but this bush already has roses blooming." My face went red and every other face was drained of color as we exited and left the stream of obsinities flowing from Kyo's mouth. I giggled as my head rested on Kiba's forearm.

When we got home we found a note from Hana stating she was spending the night at a friends house. I smiled and said, "I guess the garden's all ours tonight."

Kiba smiled and said, "Yeah. The perfect night to garden." I giggled and he chased me to the bedroom were the moonlight flowed through the curtains and left our bodies slightly shrowded in the dark. I smiled as the moon light sparkled against Kiba's dark, loving eyes. His hand traced a crescent into my cheek and my gaze folded into a silver glow that could have lit the house on fire.

Thanks for all of my fans and being SO patient! I'm SO sorry! I didn't mean to be so long! This isn't the end and I hope you'll forgive me and keep reading!
