Hinata finally broke down, and this made Kiba change his expression from the cold man who hurt his beloved friend, to the warm expression that wants to comfort her. Just as he reached out to comfort her and apologize, Hinata pushed him aside roughly and ran away from the spot.

With his arm still stretched out, Kiba stared blankly at the ground before him. After a few moments like that, he finally threw his arm down and slammed his hands over his head.

"What the hell have I just done?" he bellowed to the empty park. "I'm so confused! But…Izumi made it sound so convincing! How could I have believed her?"

He put his hand to his forehead and whispered, "And not believe…the one who has been there for me… She's helped me throughout these days, and even back then…even if I can't remember anything!"

Kiba sat down on a nearby bench and regretted his behavior toward his best friend. How could he have believed that Izumi? But at the same time…he needed to hear a different person's point of view on this… With that firmly set on his mind, he walked to a place where he had grown up in and followed the scent of his friend, Akumaru.

About an hour later, he finally found his home where his family lived in. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. He then heard the doorknob opening and his mother stood in the doorway, with a very surprised look.

"Hey uh—mom," Kiba said nervously.

"Kiba," she started. "What brings you here? Where's Hinata?"

He scratched the back of his head. "I um…need some answers… And Hinata's…at home. She and I…had a problem right now, I guess."

Tsume eyed him carefully, then let her son in. He stepped in and asked for his sister. Tsume nodded and called Hana at her house a few minutes away. As they waited, Kiba felt his mother staring at him and he knew that deep inside, her motherly instincts were working and somehow knew the problem. She seemed to be itching to ask Kiba about it, but once Hana came, she would know after Kiba would leave.

"Hey Kiba," his sister said. "Is there something wrong?"

Kiba looked down at the floor and bit his lip, not knowing when where to start. Finally, Kiba sat down in the couch and explained what had happened. He started how he ventured from Hinata's apartment, when he had run into Izumi and she told him her side of the story. He also added how he had gotten mad at Hinata for believing her, and finally when he had confronted Hinata about it and how she had responded with her side of the story.

At the end, Hana stared at him for a moment. She didn't say anything, and this was making Kiba more and more anxious by the minute.

"Little brother," Hana started. "I gotta say, I'm not really impressed by what you did to Hinata."

Kiba almost winced in pain at that. He knew he had hurt her, but he didn't even want to remember the hurtful words that came out of his mouth

"What did Izumi tell you?" she asked.

The Inuzuka boy thought for a minute and remembered back a few hours ago…

"Kiba!" A voice called out.

He looked around and saw to his annoyance, that girl Izumi was waving at him as she walked towards the street. Kiba was then faced with a conflict: start to run away, or choose to say hello to this girl.

"Hi," he replied simply.

"Kiba," she cooed. "Aren't you glad to see your girlfriend?"

He almost shuddered. Once he regained his memory, the first thing to do will be to question why he went out with her in the first place.

"Look," he started. "I don't remember who you are, or what there was between us. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to leave now!"

Suddenly, Izumi's brown eyes widened and glistened with tears. Without warning, she began to cry.

Kiba seemed shocked by this and didn't know how to her calm her down.

"Baby, I love you! If only you knew the true story behind Hinata! And our own lives!" she wailed.

"Wait, what do you mean? You're the one who began insulting her in the first place."

"Well," she said sobbing and wiping her eyes. "I have a reason to… She separated us! And after much time, we got back together! You should know that Kiba!"

Kiba seemed more confused than ever as Izumi added, "Let me tell you about the past that Hinata won't admit to…"

"And you believed every word of it?" his mother asked indignantly.

Kiba nodded. "Look, I'm not trying to use my memory loss as an excuse, but I honestly did not know who to believe!"

Hana then added, "I think in your heart, you knew that Hinata was right and not Izumi, Kiba. Her story just blinded you with anger."

"Yes it's true you two did go out, but only for two months. After that, you broke up with her because you had some mixed up emotions. You were a little player with her Kiba. You started to ignore the best friend that you had for years! That really hurt her… And when you started going out with Izumi, she had this jealousy thing against Hinata and slowly you started to realize her true character. And..yes Hinata's mother had died about a month after Hanabi was born… Her grave always has roses, lavenders or even lilies sometimes," Hana finished.

The young architect looked down at the table ashamedly, as Akumaru started licking his hand in a reassuring way that felt familiar and comfortable.

"You got to and apologize to Hinata," Tsume said. "Otherwise, she's going to hate you forever!"

Kiba nodded his head. "But I know that she's not going to want to see me for quite a bit… I hurt her a lot… I just regret it so much and hate myself for it…"

"Well, son, you can stay here if ya'd like!" his mother answered with the same grin Kiba recognized as his. "For now at least, till you make up with Hinata."

"But how am I going to tell her I'm sorry?" he asked upset.

Hana thought for bit, and then said, "We can ask Sakura and Ino if they can help. I'm going to warn you, they might be a little upset at you because of what happened to Hinata… But other than that, I'm very sure that they'll help!"

Kiba smiled nervously and thanked both his mother and sister for their word of advice. He gave each a hug, and with his mother's help, he found the way to his bedroom (though he does not remember it) from when he used to live here.

Slowly, Kiba got into bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"Please," he whispered to himself. "Please help me with Hinata… I hope that she accepts my apologies…"

With that, Kiba Inuzuka fell into a sleep filled with dreams of Hinata's hurtful face, and tears as she ran from Kiba's side.
