Kiba and Hinata stared after Izumi for a moment before looking away and at each other. Kiba's eyes seemed to be smiling; once he looked at Hinata, his whole face lit up as if she were a beautiful, rare flower. Hinata's habit of blushing returned as she felt herself going red as Kiba gazed at her intently.

"Kiba…" she whispered.

"Yes?" he replied, with a wolfish grin on his face.

Hinata gave him a soft smile and nuzzled her face into his chest.

"I'm sorry I did eavesdrop…" Hinata said. "I didn't mean to… I just heard you two…and I hoped that by going after you, I'd feel more relaxed after…you said her name."

"Hinata, it's okay," Kiba answered after a moment. "I'm glad you heard this, 'cause now you officially know that she and I are over, and that we're together now."

He kissed the top of her head, which made Hinata smile. The two stayed there for a bit then they heard Naruto and Sasuke arguing.

"Aw Sasuke! Come on!" Naruto yelled out. "It's only fair and square!"

"Hn," Sasuke said.

"Sasuke!" Naruto whined. "Oh why does this always happen to me? Even Pervy Sage takes advantage of this—oh hey guys, why you two hugging like that?"

The two best friends/enemies had arrived where Kiba and Hinata were at and they had encountered them in their loving embrace.

"Well you idiot," Sasuke sighed. "They happen to be a couple now."

Naruto's eyes widened greatly.

"WHAT? Since when?"

"I'm not too sure, but maybe for a day or so?" Sasuke replied, then glancing at Kiba and Hinata for confirmation.

Kiba nodded and grinned wider if it were possible.

"Yep! Me and Hinata are together now!" Kiba said happily.

Both Sasuke and Naruto congratulated them and after a bit of conversation with them, Naruto and Sasuke left. Once they were alone again, Kiba looked at Hinata into her pearly lavender eyes and Hinata asked him a question she had been longing to know.

"Kiba, I know that you were in a car accident and that's how you lost your memory," she started. "But I want to know is how did the accident happen?"

Her lover sighed and began his story.

"I was on my way to the Sand Village to work with Kankuro on a project. But while I was driving, I got really distracted by what had happened before I went on my way to the village, and what I was going to do afterwards, that I just blanked out once the car hit. After that, I saw you in my dreams and waking up in the hospital remembering you," he explained.

"But why were you distracted?" Hinata asked. "I don't mean to be nosy though…"

Kiba chuckled. "Nah, don't worry about it. I wanted to tell you about it anyways. Well, Izumi and I had gotten into a big fight in the morning when I saw her come in with her clothes and hair all messed up. I knew right away she was coming back from one of her special nights and I couldn't take it anymore. I exploded on her and she did too."

"I walked out on her and left. I already knew that coming back that I was going to break up with her no matter what. And once that left my mind, I started thinking about you… How Izumi never let me see you, how much I've missed you, and how badly I wanted to see you. I was making up my mind to spend some time with you once the thing with Izumi was over, but the little accident happened and now, here we are."

Hinata giggled.

"All that happened Kiba?" she asked. "I…I had no idea…"

"Now you know," Kiba replied, his grin back on his face.

There was a moment's of silence between the couple when Kiba added the final words that would both make Hinata very happy and blush wildly.

"Oh and by the way… No, Izumi and I never did anything. She was the one kinda pressuring me to have sex," he said. "I never wanted to with her. I couldn't explain it, but I just didn't want to and I think that's why she cheated on me so much. And yes, I was a virgin…until last night."

Kiba winked at her mischievously while Hinata blushed and nearly fainted in his arms. Thankfully, she came to her senses and flung her arms around Kiba, embracing tenderly.

"Oh Kiba, I love you so much," Hinata told him with truth in her soft voice.

"I love you too Hinata," Kiba replied, returning the embrace. "I love you so much I can't even say it in words. Let's stay together forever."

They pulled away slightly and looked at each other once more before their lips closed in the gap as they shared a loving, tender kiss, knowing this was one of their many kisses yet to come.
