Chapter 13

Shino slowly opened his eyes, his back felt like it was on fire. His eyes widened as everything came back to him. The explosions, throwing Hinata to the ground, using his body as a shield…was she okay?

"Hinata" He mumbled slowly, struggling to sit up. That's when he noticed the presence next to him. Looking over he saw her sweet face. Her head lay next to him and she was sleeping peacefully.

"You are so beautiful." He whispered, his hand running through her soft deep midnight blue hair. His soft touch waking her. He watched mesmerized as long dark lashes slowly fluttered open, uncovering glowing moonstone eyes.

"Shino!" Tears filled her eyes as she lifted her hand to his face. "I…I… was…s…so scared. "

"Shh…I'm okay." Taking her hand in his he leaned over, gently kissing her soft lips. Letting her hand slip from his. Ignoring his pain he wrapped his arms around her. Pulling her onto the bed next to him he deepened the kiss. She couldn't help but sigh as his warm lips claimed hers. Her arms reaching up wrapping tightly around his neck. She could feel the flutter of his kikaichu under her fingers as his arms pulled her even closer to him. The feeling was comforting as they vibrated under her touch. Reluctantly pulling away he smiled down at her.

"You have no idea how long I have wanted to hold you in my arms. To feel your touch." He smiled laying a gentle kiss on her forehead. She laid her head on his chest snuggling into his warmth.

"Hinata…what I said to you…"She reached up her finger silencing him.

"I love you to Shino." She said the stutter gone from her voice. Looking up at him shyly a small blush appearing on her cheeks.

His hand caressed her soft cheek. "Hinata I wanted to tell you for a long time about how I felt but…well I never thought you would feel the same." Keeping his arms wrapped around her he laid his bruised body back into the soft hospital mattress. She snuggled into him and that special warmth his body radiated. His body temperature higher then others. Her body enjoyed the feel of his kikaichu moving under her. Being in his arms made her feel warm and safe.

"Oi, guys!" Kiba burst in loudly. His eyes went wide in embarrassed shock, seeing the two cuddled on the bed. Then his grin widened to show his fangs and a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"Oops am I interrupting something…." He drawled before a laugh broke free. Shino's eyes glared, his lips pressed thin in annoyance. Kiba just smiled more, rocking back and forth on his heels.

"Well, it's about time you two admitted your feelings but, couldn't you have done it without it being under threat of death."

Hinata turned beat red, burin her face in Shino's chest."

"Kiba you idiot, shut up!" Shino hissed, wrapping his arms tighter around Hinata. "Your embarrassing Hinata."

"Sorry Hinata. I am just so happy for you two." He smiled shyly. "I am also glad to see your okay Shino. Sakura said that if Hinata hadn't gotten you here as fast as she did…well you wouldn't have made it."

Shino's eyes went wide, quickly dropping down to the willowy woman in his arms. Hinata had been so weak from her poisoning it had never entered his mind . He had assumed Kiba or someone else had brought him to the hospital.

"Hinata you carried me all that way?" He lifted her chin to look into her lavender moonstone eyes. Pride for the woman he loved filled his heart. "Thank you." She smiled up at him her eyes soft and warm. He bent down and kissed her lips, all he could see was her, it was always just her . She had saved his life and she loved him. At that moment he could care less who saw them. With her he didn't need to hide his emotions she was everything to him and his heart would do anything for his Hinata.

"Okay… well I will just leave you two alone." Kiba slowly backed out of the room, a big grin on his face.

Hinata wrapped her arms around his neck as he pulled her closer deepening the kiss. Hinata moaned softly as his tongue tasted the sweetness of her mouth. His fingers caressed her back, as his lips slowly traveled down the sensitive skin of her throat. Her fingers buried into his soft thick auburn hair. He pulled her down softly on the bed. Ignoring the ache of his battered body. All he cared about was having her in his arms. His lips whispering to her endearments of his love.
