Hinata woke with a start, eyes darting around her room at the Hyuga compound. What was that…? she thought. She turned to look at her clock. 3:00 a.m. What could be making noise at three in the morning?

Click…click…click…

There it was again! It sounded like…footsteps? Hinata couldn't be sure. Whatever it was, it was coming from above her. She was just about to activate her Byuakugan when she heard another set of clicks, these ones faster but quieter than the first ones, and they were coming from a different location. The first set resumed again slowly…then suddenly fast along with the second set, growing louder all the while. A few seconds later it all ended as Hinata heard a yell she knew all too well.

She shrieked as there was a loud bang outside her window followed by the sounds of a struggle and some rather loud grumbling. Hinata threw off her blankets and ran to the window. Throwing back the curtains, she opened the window, shivering as the cold outside air blew into her face and hair.

Kiba lay pinned face first onto the snow covered ground, arms held behind his head. And sitting on Kiba was none other than Neji.

"Ger off meh!" Kiba mumbled into the ground, squirming as Neji sat himself down on him, pushing his head back down into the snow.

"What did you think you were doing? Sneaking into the Hyuga compound? Do you realize how lucky you are that I was on duty to tonight and recognized your chakra pattern with my Byakugan?" Neji yelled furiously at the younger ninja, completely disregarding the fact that most of the compound would be awoken by the commotion. Kiba turned his head to the side.

"You call this lucky?" he said. His eyes caught Hinata's and he grinned. "Hinata! You're awake! Can you tell your body guard here to get off of me so that we can visit properly?"

"Shut it, you're not going anywhere except back home," Neji replied for her, still not letting Kiba get up.

"Um…Neji….could you…?" Hinata asked timidly, watching the scene play out before her in the yard.

"Honestly, did you really think you could break into her room without getting caught?" Neji said, ignoring her. Hinata was starting to get a bit frustrated at Neji's overreaction, knowing that she would be the one in trouble the next morning for keeping everyone awake since it was her boyfriend that had tried to get in.

"I made it this far didn't I…" Kiba mumbled under his breath, infuriating Neji even more, causing him to twist his arm. "OW! Alright, alright, I give…I'll go home, now lemme up!" Neji released his grip slowly and stood up, backing away from the Inuzuka.

"Go. Home," he said coldly, crossing his arms.

Kiba stood up, dusting himself off and rubbing his sore wrists from Neji's iron grip. "See you tomorrow for training, Hinata," he said, waving to her, starting to turn away. At the last second he ran forward and surprised her by kissing her swiftly before running out of the compound, cackling all the way as Neji gave pursuit, screaming something about mutts and dog breath.

Hinata sighed, closed the window and snuggled back down into her blankets. She smiled.

It was nice after all to know there were TWO guys looking out for you.
