Slowly, Kiba regained more memory. With the help of his friends, family and especially Hinata, he began to remember Shino, Hana, his mother Tsume, and even most of his childhood memories were finally coming back to him. Everyone was glad that he had been able to recover more memories, but Hinata, in the back of her mind, felt afraid; she thought that if Kiba were to regain his full memory, then he might just leave her, pack up and run back to Izumi. She'd give anything for that to never happen, but what could she do? All she could do was wait and see what would happen next. Hinata knew that if the bad outcome where to happen, then it would hurt her worse than anything else… She knew she had fallen in love with Kiba. It was not the teenage love that they had experienced back then, but it was something much more than that. She knew every time that he was there at her house having fun, and that feeling was there since the day that they had shared the bed during the horrible storm. Hinata couldn't deny it anymore… Her feelings for Kiba were much stronger than anything she had ever felt.

It was now a month since Kiba had moved in with Hinata. For some reason, this excited Kiba that specific day and Hinata couldn't figure out why. The two were at the hospital getting some tests done on Kiba and Hinata was waiting patiently outside of the room. As she waited, she saw Tenten pass by on a wheelchair clutching her stomach with Neji pushing the wheelchair.

"Oh Tenten," Hinata said coming closer. "Are the babies due already?"

"I'm getting contractions," she breathed heavily. "And they are painful!"

Neji looked at his wife and Hinata couldn't help but smile at the worried look in his eyes. Just then, Kiba finally came out of the room and joined the conversation cheerfully.

"Hey Hinata's cousin," he greeted. "Hey Mrs. Hinata's cousin's wife!"

Tenten could only wave faintly and continue to breathe in and out, and Neji shook hands with him. Before anybody could say anything else, Tenten cried out to get into a room before she got out her weapons and hurt somebody with it. Neji quickly said goodbye and hurried off to see the nearest room available.

"They're having a baby?" he asked her as they watched them hurry off.

Hinata nodded in response and too watched them.

"Do you want to have kids?" Kiba asked out of the blue.

They Hyuga girl quickly felt her face blush at his question, but she was able to reply to it calmly. "Yes. Maybe one day… D-Do you?"

Kiba thought for a moment before looking at Hinata. "One day too. It has to be with the girl I love very much though. And we'd both be happy with each other."

The pediatrician blushed even more as she felt his gaze pierce through her. The two remained there for a while lost in each other's gazes, before Kiba finally grinned and asked her, "Hey you know how it's been a month since I've moved in?"

Hinata nodded and he asked, "Well, do you want to go on a date with me?"

"Huh?" Hinata blurted out accidentally. "A-A date? Y-You and m-m-me?"

Kiba nodded eagerly. "Yeah! It's a way we can celebrate it."

"I'm happy that you want to celebrate it," Hinata started as she felt herself getting weaker. "But why though?"

The architect shrugged but kept grinning. "You make me happy and well, I want to have a special night with you as a way of thanks for all that you're doing to me."

The Hyuga girl smiled shyly at Kiba before nodding and that made her friend's grin get bigger if that were possible.

"Great! I'll be at your bedroom door, let's say around eight o'clock?" he asked laughing.

"Sure," she replied giggling. "I'll be waiting."


Eight o'clock couldn't have come any slower. It came especially slower with the two friends around the apartment looking anxiously at the clock every few seconds. After much waiting and anxiousness, Kiba and Hinata were finally getting ready. The two took about forty five minutes to get ready, but Kiba came out of his bedroom first. He wore a white buttong up shirt, black slacks, and dress shoes. He took out some roses and lavenders that had been in his room, secretly since the morning and waited at Hinata's door. He knocked twice and finally the belle of the ball came out.

Kiba's mouth dropped to the floor as he eyed Hinata up and down. She wore a dark blue dress slightly above her knees, and the dress was strapless, on her waist was a black ribbon, and the bottom of the dress had ruffles. She wore some black heels, and her hair was loose and straight. Hinata blushed at Kiba's stare and looked down at the floor shyly; she thought Kiba looked very handsome in his outfit. He then cleared his throat and offered her the flowers.

"Thank you," Hinata said and she took them to the nearest vase available. Kiba then offered his hand to her. Hinata giggled, took his hand and they left on their special date together.


The "friends" finally arrived at a nice restaurant still hand in hand with each other. They sat down at a table, ordered their food and drinks and finally looked at one another smiling brightly.

"I see you ordered your favorite food," Kiba said smirking.

Hinata giggled. "I still can't understand how you remember me, but yet, you forgot every other memory of yourself."

The Inuzuka boy shrugged. "Eh, I don't either. Well, let's enjoy our date! The food's here!"

For the rest of the time, they ate food, talked, laughed and had a lot of fun. Hinata couldn't help but feel more at peace with her and Kiba like this; it was a great feeling she didn't want to go away. She also began to notice how Kiba looked at her. It wasn't a friendly gaze anymore; it was something more and the thought of it made her blush.

Once they finished their food, Kiba and Hinata walked outside. There was a comfortable silence in the air, and the atmosphere felt better when Kiba took hold of Hinata's hand again. When they held hands, it was as if those hands were meant to fit together forever and that made Hinata smile at the thought.

They kept walking for a few more minutes when Kiba stopped them. Hinata looked at him confused for a minute. They were nearby a small garden with the stars twinkling above them. The architect then looked at Hinata and smiled at her.

"There's something I want to give you Hinata," Kiba said.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Close your eyes and you'll find out," he replied, grinning. When she raised her eyebrows in a playful manner, he added, "It's a surprise. Trust me."

Hinata then smiled softly at him and closed her eyes. Kiba then made sure that her eyes were closed and there was no peeking. He then got Hinata by her shoulders, admired her beauty, moved his face closer to hers, and kissed Hinata Hyuga. Hinata gasped at the sudden action, but slowly reacted and kissed Kiba back as her mouth followed his mouth in rythm.
