I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Hinata woke up when a warm wet tongue licked her nose. She sat up with a gasp and pushed the puppy gently off her chest. Then she gasped again when she noticed that she was naked. Oh my god, did we really…? She slowly looked over her shoulder and sure enough there lay Kiba naked also, snoring lightly. Hinata groaned and hung her head down.

How could I have let it happen? She reviewed the past night and decided that she had needed the warmth and comfort Kiba offered her. Proof that she was loveable. He said that he understood that she still loved Naruto. That he just needed his …mate? What did he mean by that, she wondered to herself.

She gathered her clothes together and quietly got dressed. She stopped and looked at Kiba, running her eyes over his face and down his well defined body. The night before she hadn't taken the time to look at him, she was too busy responding. In the golden morning light, his skin glowed a rich tan, and she blushed as she began to have flashbacks of touching him. Which led her to think about how gentle he had been with her, at least until she had responded so passionately to his caresses. Then he had growled at her and became much more aggressive. But even then he had not hurt her.

Hinata blushed an even deeper shade of red as she remembered exactly how much she had enjoyed his aggression. She buried her face in her hands as memories of clawing Kiba's back as she moaned out her pleasure rose to taunt her. She may not love him, but she definitely wanted him. Even now a part of her wanted to crawl back into his arms and kiss him awake just so that she could experience the intensity of his lovemaking again. She quickly slammed down a mental barrier over those feelings, and walked to the door. She turned to look back at him one last time and then slipped out, using her Byakugan to avoid running into anyone.

I'll never be able to look at him as simply my friend again, she thought to herself, as a few tears slide down her cheeks. She felt light-headed at the thought of coming face to face with him after what they had shared. Forcing the dizziness away, she ran towards the Hyuuga compound.

Kiba yawned deeply and then did a full body stretch. Man, I feel great this morning, he thought to himself. He stretched again and reached over to snuggle Hinata. Wait- Hinata! Kiba shot straight up as the night's events rolled through his head. He noticed that he was naked and looked down at himself. Well, there's my proof. I definitely didn't imagine it. He could feel the sting of her nail marks down his back. He chuckled as he thought about how his shy little woman was not so shy when she was being pleasured. As he remembered how aggressive she had been, he began to harden again. He groaned in aggravation.

Suddenly, he came to the realization of just how badly he had screwed up. Why, oh why, couldn't I have just hugged the girl for comfort? Damnmit! She's run away rather than face me. Knowing Hinata it will be months before she'll be able to look at me, let alone talk to me! Even though he was angry with himself for jumping ahead of his plan to woo her, he couldn't help but to think about how enthusiastically she had responded to his lovemaking. She may love Naruto, but she has feelings for me too, he thought with satisfaction. There is no way that a girl as honest as Hinata could react that passionately if she felt no romantic feelings towards me. It may be underneath her feelings for Naruto, but something is definitely there.

The smile left his face as he thought about the confrontations ahead. Facing Hinata would be easy compared to confessing to his mother and Shino. They were going to hurt him!
