Hinata woke up to the chill in the air. She opened her eyes to find Kiba asleep a few feet away from her. He was asleep in his under shirt, currled up in a little ball, while his coat lay far off in the distance, as if he had thrown it to the side. Akamaru, who seemed to be mimicking his master, was also curled up, on the other side of him.
Hinata smilled. He looks like a little puppy when he's sleeping.
Hinata shivered as the wind picked up. Kiba, who had noticed this cold, bolted up.
"It's morning already?"
"Oh, wow, the sun's barely rising huh?" Kiba noticed.
"Hm." Kiba stood up, and looked around.
"How long have we been out here?" he scratched the back of his head.
"I think today's our second day." Hinata tried to remember.
"Of...what?"
"Our training. We're supposed to be out here, as a survival test for--"
"Okay." Kiba said, as if this was new to him.
As the sun was now completly up, and chirping butterflies started to show up in the sky, Akamaru barked at Kiba. Kiba, listened, and looked down at his doggie.
"Hm. Really? Where?"
"bark!"
"Oh I see." Kiba nodded.
"Hm?" Hinata questioned, confused.
"Shino."
As minutes passed, Shino walked up behind them.
"Hey."
Kiba jumped up.
Shino, and Kiba, suddenly looked alert.
"we're not the only people here." Shino said, looking away at the tall grass the danced with the wind.
"I knew there was something strange. In the air. Fire smoke. It's a faint scent, but I thought it was weired." Kiba turned to the same direction where Shino was starring.
"More people? Do you know who they are? Are they testing too?"
"No, their just camping." Kiba didn't return her gaze.
"Sauske Uchiha." Shino said.
"Sakura Haruno."
"Naruto Uzumaki".
Hinata shot up. She grabbed Shino's shoulders, re-assuring herself, that they made...semi eye contact.
"Naruto?"
"yes." said Shino.
"Brace yourself." Kiba whispered.
From the distance, a orangy figure ran toward them, while two more figures followed from far behind, in a slower pace. The blur cleared, into. Naruto, running towards them, waving his arm in the air like crazy.
"Hey!"
Kiba picked up Akamaru. He and Shino instantly shot up into a tree, leaving Hinata by herself.
"Hey, where are the other two? Weren't you with that bug freak and that Kiba guy?" Naruto questioned.
Akamaru growled from the tree.
"Um..w-well..."
BONK.
"HEY! WHO THREW A ROCK AT MY FACE!" Naruto shook his fist, and started spinning around looking for the person.
"Up here."
Naruto and Hinata looked up at Kiba. he smircked, and held out another rock to Naruto.
"I DARE YOU TO THROW ANOTHER ROCK YOU FREAK!"
BONK.
Naruto flammed.
BONK.
"STOP IT!"
"It wasn't me this time!" Kiba yelled annoyed.
Shino threw another rock at Naruto, and then started shooting at Kiba.
"Hey! Cut it out!" Kiba growled.
"Teh."
"Please, stop!"
Kiba, Naruto, even Shino looked over at Hinata.
"Please...stop."
Shino threw one last rock at Kiba. He growled at him.
There was a long pause. Sakura and Sauske walked up to Hinata.
"What are you idiots doing?" Sauske asked.
Everybody growled.
"Whatever." Sauske started to walk away, as Sakura followed.
"So, what are you all doing out here?" Naruto asked, in his Naruto air-head expression.
"Well...i-it's training--" Hinata stammered.
Why, aren't I getting so tense at Naruto being here?
"Oh."
Naruto looked at his hand.
"Oh yeah!"
And then, was when they all noticed.
He was holding...a white lily.
Kiba glarred at him. His expression, surprised.
"W-what?!" He whispered to himself.
"Hey, Hinata, you press flowers or something right? You want this? Sakura made us buy a whole bunch from a little boy, and I don't really llike flowers, so here."
Naruto handed her the lily.
Kiba, remained speechless.
Naruto ran off, Hinata held the lily. Shino felt like spying, and followed Naruto, throwing rocks at the back of his head, ducking into bushes everytime Naruto turned around.
Kiba, still, remained speechless.
A white lily. I gave Hinata a white lily.Sh-she even told me...that it's the flower...
of eternal love.
Why?
Why does HE have to ruin everything?
Why?
Hinata stood there. She stared at the lily.
When...
two people, give you a white lily...
and you love one of them...
but you might love the other one too...
and that other one has a chance of loving you back...
and really meaning to give you a flower...
while the one you think you love...
doesn't know you exist...
what do you do?
"Do...do I love Kiba?"
Hinata's eyes went wide. She clamped her hands over her mouth.
I just said that out loud!
Kiba fell back.
He felt his body, falling, falling to the floor. He felt the pain of his body, slamming into the ground, and felt the pain melt away. He felt the rich soil, against his arms. He felt...akward.
He bolted up.
Hinata ran over to him.
"I-I'm soo sorry! D-did you fall out of the tree because of what I said? I.I--"
Hinata didn't finish her statement.
Kiba had embraced her lips, with a kiss.
Kiba felt Hinata tense up. He instantly stopped.
"I-i'm sorry."
Hinata blushed.
"Really, I am. I guess I wasn't thinking or, I got caught up in a moment or something. It's just...I guess...Damn, i'm such an idiot." Kiba continued to scold himself.
How do I tell her I love her?
Hinata dropped the lily to the floor.
This feeling. I understand now.Naruto...doesn't see me, in the same way I see him. Kiba...I-I think...he loves me...
back.
Hinata stepped on the lily.
I'm sorry Naruto.
Hinata ran up to Kiba...and...
Kissed him.
I just hope...you love me too.
I...I think there's hope.
Hinata stopped.
"I'm sorry."
They shared blushes.
How do I tell him I love him?
Review! Is this a good end? No? It should go on? Well, I guess there's still one more time left of the exam. Should we forget all about it? You decide! Please, review!
