IS THERE ANY HOPE.Part 6.By Petit-hana.In honor and support of the kibaxHinata pairing!

The ashes of the fire from the night before still had a slight scent to it, that drifted easily through the air. no one seemed to mind, since, for one thing, Hinata and Shino were asleep, and for another, they probably didn't notice. Well, when your Kiba or Akamaru, these things, you seem to note quite quickly. Kiba tried not to make a fuss over it. It was just ashes right? He tried turning onto his side, and falling back asleep, but that didn't work. especially since Shino was right there, to the side of Kiba, sleeping. He wasn't actually sure if Shino was asleep or not. He wore all his clothing, including his sunglasses, everytime he went to sleep. It made Kiba feel akward. Like, Shino was staring at him or something. Kiba rolled back onto his back, and look up at the blurry sky. Nothing worth looking at up there. He saw a cloud, that was kinda shapped like Akamaru on a toilet, but, it's not like he ACTUALLY knew what Akamaru looked like on a toilet.He turned to his other side, and practically slammed his face into Hinata's, which he didn't notice was next to him. He took a few seconds to regain from shock, and couldn't help feel uncomfortable again.

Climbing trees, wasn't Kiba's idea of fun. He prefered the floor to anything, especially in grass or when the dirt is a nice, sturdy soil, not too dry or too squishy. Of course, he hadn't thought about that patch of grass a few feet away, and he hadn't remembered the soil that was under the shade of that tree. He was already in it, too late to change his mind now. He looked at Hinata, who almost fell off the branch, and couldn't help but think of kindergarten. when everyone would say "EWW!" If you were playing with the oposite gender. When you were constantly on the run from the Kootties. Kootties are pretty damn scary when your in kindergarten. If they could see him in that tree right now...what would they say? Maybe they'd start singing that obnoxious song.

"Kiba and Hinata, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

Kiba blushed, and looked away quickly.

Hinata looked at Kiba. His usual pale face, was colored a distincive shade of pink. She couldn't help but think of how cute he looked when that happened. when Hinata noticed she called Kiba "cute" in her mind, she felt herself blush.

"Ahh!" She hid her face in her sleeves.

Kiba blinked for several seconds.

"Um...are you okay?"

"I-i'm fine!"

Kiba laughed. "Allright. I take your word from mine any day."

The thing about Kiba, that Hinata admired, was, very hard to describe. He himself was hard to describe. It's just, Kiba, wan't like all the other guys. He didn't think that Hinata was a weired fidgetty girl. He didn't think she was useless. He didn't judge Hinata by the type of ninja she was. He only saw her for who she really was. And, she too, couldn't help but see the real him. She couldn't help...

...love him.

And, as for weather Kiba loved her back...

...she didn't know.

There were LOTS of times...and moments...that led her to beleive...that maybe...just maybe...

There was hope.

Hope to be loved. Hope to be his. And only his. Hope, to share her heart, with only him, and receive his in return. He, stole her heart. She, wanted oh so much, to steel his heart. With one smile. with one glance. With one hand, reaching out to her love.

Kiba, wished to be hers. Of course, she didn't know. Kiba...just didn't know how to show his feelings toward someone. It was...new to him. He wanted so badlly, he wished...

That there was hope.

Kiba grabbed Hinata's shoulders. He felt himself back down...

"Hinata. Can I tell you a secret?"

"Huh?"

Kiba thought for a few seconds. He let go of her shoulders. He coaked his head. Then, he smiled.

"I think i'll tell you later."

Commercial Break

Colgate!

Gaara walks up to the camera, holding a tube of Colgate. He screwed off the cap, and looked inside. Gaara squeezed the tube.

I wonder.

Mint sparkle shot out of the tube. Gaara ducked. The toothpaste flew into the eyes of Kankuro.

"MY EYES!!!!"

Temari ran in. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO NOW KANKURO!?!"

Gaara squuezes again. Sparkly toothpaste shot out, and hit the camera. The camera fell to the floor.

(Loosing reception)

"Gaara! You gotta mention COLGATE To the camera remember?!"

"..."

"..."

"Shut up."

(Gaara attacks the camera guy with a teddy bear)

"FEEL THE WRATH!!"

"Gaara! Say something to the camera!!!!"

Gaara walked up to the camera.

"Cookies."

"MY EYES!!!"

"CALM DOWN KANKURO!!!!"

"cookies."

(camera guy) "WHY MEEE!!!!!"

Gaara starts chewing bubble gum.

"minty."

"YOUR SUPPOSED TO ADVERTISE MINTY COLGATE!!!!"

"I spit gum in the faces of people who don't want to be cool."

(Gaara spits gum in the face of the camera man)

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

(The camera man falls to the floor.)

(Gaara stands over him and passes his right hand infront of his own face horizontally)

"YOU CAN'T SEE ME!!! (Yells Gaara)

Gaara stops taunting and walks up to the camera.

"Hi!!!!!!" (Smiles and waves at the camera)

"NO! DON'T GET TOO CLOSE TO THE CAMERA!"

Gaara crashes into the camera.

(End of commercial)

Moving on.

The sky, was getting dark. Way too soon for spring. Kiba and Hinata were asleep on the branches of the tree, drifting off in dreams. Kiba rolled over, and almost fell off the branch. He was instantly awake.

"Huh?!"

Hinata stirred, and slowly woke up.

Hinata and Kiba starred up at the sky for a long time. Their very own presence toward each-other, was enough to make them feel, a strange type of happiness, and a sense of peace. The sky started to dot with stars, and the full moon rose high above everything, seemingly looking down at the two. a eerie light came up by kiba.

"Hey. Hinata. Look, fireflies."

More lights started to drift by, circling and dancing around them. Hinata, was equally as fascinated by the glow.

"i've never seen fireflies before."

"Yeah. Me neither. I guess, there's a first time for everything." Kiba looked over at Hinata.

Her eyes seemed to have a distinct glow and sparkle in the light of the fireflies. Kiba stared in aw. After a while, Kiba shyly looked away.

Hinata, sneeked a glance at Kiba. He seemed so, diffrent in the light and the shadows. It made Hinata, feel strangly, drawn to him.

kiba, looked back at her.

"Can I tell you my secret now?"

They stared at each other. Kiba starred at Hinata, who, now more than ever, seemed to entrance him. His heart, was going out to her. And they both felt it.

"There's a girl. She, entrances me. I don't know how to describe her, is how much. She, makes my chest flutter. I can't look at her for very long, before I turn away."

Hinata stared at Kiba. She, was anxious. She was curious.

"That girl...is you."

Hinata blushed. "Ah--"

"Kiba looked at her, with a cute innocence.

"Can I tell you another secret?"

Yes?

"I love you."

Hinata felt tears brim her eyes. The words, that she longed to hear. The words, that she wanted to have directed to her.

Hinata drew herself into Kiba's arms. She listend to his heart beat, softly.

Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum.

Then, when all stodd still, and when all seemed to freeze, came a sentence. It was quiet, in a soft voice, but Kiba heared it.

A firefly landed on Hinata's hair.

"I love you...too."

Everything, started to move again. The fireflies went on with their danc, and the stars kept on sparkling. The leaves, and flower petals that came loose with the wind, drifted away.

I love you.

There is hope.
