ONE MONTH LATER:
Kiba was rushed into the emergency room. The recon mission had turned into a fight for survival after they had come upon a hostile squad from the Hidden Stone village that didn't appreciate their 'spying'. Only Kiba and Akamaru had made it out alive, though Kiba was critically wounded. He had sustained a deep slash to the abdomen that had set up an infection on the way back to the Hidden Leaf village. Akamaru had been forced to leave him on the border of the village and go for help, since Kiba had lost consciousness and couldn't hold on to him.
Lady Tsunade was called in when Kiba wouldn't stop trying to fight off the medical nins. He kept calling out for Hinata and was highly agitated, attempting to pull out his IV's repeatedly. The Hokage knew what was going on between the two young ninja since their sensei had confided the real reason that Hinata had to go on light duty. She knew that the best way to get Kiba to calm down was to go fetch Hinata. She felt that it was too dangerous to sedate him when he would have to be put under anesthesia later when she stitched up his wound. She dispatched an aide to the Hyuuga compound with orders to return with the young woman.
Lady Tsunade was happy for the young couple. She was also glad of an opportunity to separate Hinata from the stuck up clan that didn't appreciate her true worth. In a slightly vindictive way, she hoped that Hinata's father would over react to the news that he was going to be a grandfather…she would love the chance to intervene on behalf of one of her favorite ninjas. Thumbing her nose at that stuck up bastard of a clan leader was something she had been dreaming about since she first saw how poorly he treated his daughter.

"Lady Hinata, you must report to the hospital immediately. Kiba Inuzuka has been brought into the hospital with life-threatening injuries, and has been highly agitated, asking for you repeatedly. Lady Tsunade has requested your presence at his bedside." The aide bowed to her.
"Kiba-kun has life threat…" Hinata said faintly as she crumpled to the floor. Behind her, her father watched in irritation as the aide rushed to her side. Little weakling, he thought to himself with disapproval. All she is good for is marrying off.
A few minutes passed, and she regained consciousness. With the aide's help, she sat up carefully. Gasping, she reached down to touch her stomach, worried that she might have hurt the baby when she fell. Her father's eyes narrowed as he noticed her betraying movement, and then filled with rage as he confirmed his suspicion with his Byakugan.
"You stupid little slut!" he roared. He crossed the room swiftly and slapped her hard across the face. Hinata lifted her head up proudly as she carefully wiped the blood off of the corner of her mouth.
"Who is the father?" he asked her. When she didn't answer, he grabbed her shoulders and began to shake her violently. What happened next shocked him to the core. In a split second, his gentle failure of a daughter hit him with a force so hard he was sent flying across the room. He landed against the opposite wall unable to get up. Hinata walked over to her father and looked down at him sorrowfully.
"All I ever wanted was for you to love me for who I was. But I was never good enough for you. You have the right to be angry with me for disgracing the clan, but I will never allow anyone to harm my baby." She stated firmly. She turned and walked to the door, pausing to look back at him.
"Kiba is father of my baby. He loves me just the way I am. I'm going to him now. Goodbye Hyuuga-sama." He could tell by the finality in her voice that she would not be coming back. His eyes filled with sadness as he realized that he had finally pushed his daughter too far.
