A/N: Hey there! Sorry I'm so late but I've been SUPER busy but hopefully I'll have more time now :) Only sad thing is marching season is over for us! :( Anyways, read and review the story! Enjoy ;)
Hinata smiled at Kiba, though a little forceful. She got a nearby chair and placed it next to Kiba's bedside.
"I know this sounds weird, but tell me more about myself," Kiba laughed.
Hinata giggled lightly and thought for a moment. "Well, what would you like to know?"
It was Kiba's turn to look thoughtful, and finally he said, "Do I have any friends and family here?"
Hinata nodded. "Yes. You have—"
"You!" he interrupted as though he were small child.
The pediatrician smiled at him and nodded and continued. "Me, yes. You also have Shino who studies bugs, Shikamaru, he's really…lazy but is a very good scientist, Naruto our Hokage, Sakura and Ino who are doctors here… My cousin Neji who is an engineer, his wife Tenten, she is an ANBU special agent, Sasuke, who is a successful lawyer, and Rock Lee who is a martial arts master. There's acquaintances like Gaara the Kazekage from the Sand Village, his siblings Kankuro who is an architect and Temari who is a professor. Finally, there's Sai who is a gifted artist and Choji who is a food critic and chef."
"Wow really?" Kiba asked amazed. "They must all be really good friends of mine then! Do they know what happened to me?"
Hinata nodded. "Yes, in fact some are outside of the door and the rest are on their way over here right now."
Kiba grinned. "That was nice to know. What about my family? Any brothers, sisters and parents?"
"You have your sister, Hana who is a veterinarian and your mother Tsume who is also a veterinarian," Hinata added.
"What about my dad?" he asked.
"Mmm… Last I remember, you told me your mom 'scared your father away."
Kiba began to laugh again. "So what else is there to know about me? It sounds like I have a pretty interesting life. Do you know more about me?"
Hinata smiled sweetly at him. How she had missed the playful Kiba she had known all these years. It felt just right for them to be like this… The good friends they were before anything had happened. Even if he was flirting just a bit with her, Hinata didn't mind it at all.
So Hinata began talking to Kiba about his life. She told him of his favorite color, type of music, favorite song, favorite food, and favorite movie; the year they all graduated high school, his favorite videogame, his career as an architect, and finally Hinata went into a long talk about Kiba's dog, Akumaru who has been his faithful dog companion ever since Akumaru was a puppy.
"Can I see him?" Kiba asked eagerly. "I wish I could remember all of this… But with your help, Hinata, I know you can help me."
The pediatrician felt her face flush. It was not every day that Kiba told her all these nice things. Kiba, still grinning at her, gazed at her with such a tender expression that Hinata had turn away so she would not faint in front of him!
"Are you okay?" Kiba asked with a tone of amusement in his voice.
"Y-Yes I-I am okay," Hinata stuttered as she looked down on the ground trying to take deep breaths to calm herself down.
Once Hinata felt better, she looked back at him and saw he was still grinning.
"Now that you've told me a bit of myself," Kiba started. "Can I tell you what I know about you?"
Hinata blinked in confusion. Kiba did not remember anything about himself, yet he still remembers Hinata? Does he really? Hinata thought to herself.
"About me?" she asked. "What do you mean about me?"
Kiba thought for a moment before replying. "Well, when I woke up, I had completely forgotten everything about me, but while I was unconscious, you came into my dreams remember? And even though you were telling me to stay strong, somehow, I just knew you right then and there."
"Oh my…" Hinata whispered. "That's…impossible…"
"I know. Sounds hard to believe huh?" Kiba chuckled. "Well, if it doesn't sound too scary, can I tell you what I know? And you tell me if I'm wrong or right, yeah?"
Hinata hesitated, and then gave a nod in approval.
Kiba smiled and said, "Well alright then. Let me see… Your favorite color is either lilac or lavender, your favorite movie is A Walk To Remember, your favorite book is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire… Your favorite food is orange chicken…"
And Kiba went on and on telling Hinata everything about her. To her surprise and amazement, he had gotten every detail correct. Once he was done, Hinata only stared at him with her eyes wide open at what just happened.
"So?" Kiba asked grinning. "Did I get everything correct?"
Hinata, still gawking at him, slowly nodded her head.
"But how did you know all this?" she asked.
Kiba shrugged again. "I wish I knew too. But I'm glad I know a very beautiful girl like you well."
This comment made Hinata blush and even smile bigger. The two then gazed at each other, but before anything could happen, there was a knock on the door. Hinata looked at the door and called, "Come in!" Naruto then burst through the door to get to Kiba.
"KIBA! ARE YOU OKAY?" Naruto bellowed almost into Kiba's ear.
The Inuzuka boy stared curiously at Naruto, Ino Sakura, Tsunade and Shizune as they made their way into the bedroom.
"Hello Kiba," Ino and Sakura said to him.
Kiba politely said hello to each one of them as they all introduced themselves. Naruto then jumped and began yelling again.
"KIBA!" he yelled slowly, pronouncing every syllable. "DO NOT WORRY! WE WILL HELP YOU GET YOUR MEMORY BACK!"
Sakura then hit him. "He's not deaf! He lost his memory!"
Ino then stepped in and grabbed Sakura's arm. "Don't hit my fiancée!"
The two best friends were about to get another one of their catfights when Tsunade loudly stepped in and said, "How did it go?"
Both Hinata and Kiba nodded so Tsunade asked her to step outside of the room to speak with her. Once they were outside, Tsunade asked, "So he remembered everything about you?"
Hinata nodded and explained to her what happened. After a moment, Tsunade spoke again.
"I see… Well Hinata, are you still willing to help Kiba with his memory?"
Hinata's eyes showed determination and nodded firmly. Lady Tsunade looked at her determined face, and said, "I think Kiba is going to have to spend more time with you. You're our only way to help Kiba with his memory… So…"
She hesitated and finally added, "He might have to move in with you… That way you can show him around… People who lost their memory like that can easily get hurt and you must protect and help him."
Hinata Hyuga bit her lip (and blushed) before responding boldly to the chief doctor. "Y-Yes. If Kiba was there for me back then, it's my turn to be there for him and I'll help him anyway I can!"
Lady Tsunade smiled at the determined Hinata and knew that deep down inside that this was a good thing for both Hinata and Kiba's lives.
