Chapter 6

Hinata's Decision

Hinata was in her room getting ready to go on a date with Naruto. She quick put on lipgloss and hurried out the door. Naruto was waiting for her at the entrance to the compound.

"Hi Hinata, ready to go?" Naruto asked, but it wasn't Naruto's voice. It was Kiba's voice. Naruto gave a fanged grin. Suddenly, his orange jumpsuit changed into Kiba's coat. His spiky blond hair turned dark brown and began to go everywhere like Kiba's did. On his cheeks appeared the Inuzuka birthmarks, and then his eyes became dog like. Naruto was no longer Naruto. He was Kiba.

Kiba leaned down to kiss her…

Hinata shot up from her pillow, breathing hard. Her usual fantasy date with Naruto dream never had Kiba in it. What was going on?

"What's wrong with me?" Hinata asked herself, though she knew the answer. The kiss had set it straight- she had a crush on Kiba. She always had, but she just set it aside for Naruto.

Hinata let her head fall back on her pillow. How could I have been so stupid? She thought. She looked over at the picture of her teammates on her dresser.

There was Kiba; his usual fanged grin with Akamaru perched on his head. Hinata smiled at the sight of him so happy.

Hinata turned over on her bed and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Hinata awoke and hurried to get ready to go out for the day. Kurenai wasn't to be back for a few more days, so she hoped she could spend time with Kiba today. Well, with Neji, too, since Kiba had been fired as her bodyguard.

She met Neji at the stairwell.

"Ready to go?" He asked motioning for her to go down the steps.

Hinata nodded as she hopped down the stairs two at a time. I can't wait to see Kiba, she kept thinking.

When Hinata and Neji had reached the entrance to the compound they saw the Inuzuka waiting patiently for them. Hinata blushed and slowed her pace, hoping she didn't seem too anxious.

"Hey Hinata! Hey, Neji." Kiba wasn't as enthusiastic with his greeting to Neji, but did show a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"If you don't mind, I do have some things I need to do today. Do you think you could protect my cousin for me, Inuzuka?"

Hinata was very surprised. Neji never skipped out on his duties. She watched as Kiba grinned.

"Yeah, no problem!" Kiba told the serious faced Hyuga.

Tenten had come over to say hello to Neji when she saw him come out. Neji walked over to her and began to walk away with her.

"You must have something pretty important to do if you're asking someone else to do you're protecting." Tenten questioned.

"No, I actually have nothing to do today." Neji said with the same serious expression on his face.

Hinata gave Kiba a hug. "I thought about what happened yesterday." She said when they broke apart. Kiba's grin faded, replaced with a worried look.

"You said y-you liked m-me, but I n-never replied b-back." She began to stutter from her nervousness. Hinata could feel her face turning bright pink. "But I-Im ready to give my answer now."

Hinata's heart began to beat frantically as she leaned forward. They were only centimeters apart. She kissed him lightly. Kiba wrapped his arms around the heiress's waist. She could feel his warm breath on her ear. She felt so relaxed, so content. It was like taking a warm relaxing bath.

"Will you go out with me?" Kiba whispered in her ear as he tucked a strand of hair behind the opposite ear.

"Yes." The Hyuga girl whispered back. Kiba gently kissed her as he let go of her waist.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her along. Hinata's cheeks were a deep red. He's holding my hand!

Kiba stopped when they reached Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Naruto was sitting down there, eating a bowl of ramen. Hinata's eyes widened in realization. Kiba was going to show her off.

Kiba pulled her over to some seats within earshot and vision of Naruto. Kiba ordered 2 bowls of ramen.

Kiba leaned over the table and gave Hinata a kiss. "So, my flower, what made you so into me?"

Hinata blushed at the question. "I guess after the kiss, I just realized…" Hinata couldn't find the words to explain.

"Hey what's with all the blushing? You never blush around me!" Kiba teased as he tugged her earlobe.

Hinata smiled innocently before blushing once again. Kiba laughed.

Naruto heard laughter from one of the other tables in the shop. He looked up, only to see Hinata and Kiba seated a few feet away from him.

"HEY HINATA! HEY KIBA! WHA-" Naruto stopped midsentence as he saw Kiba lean over and kiss Hinata's lips.

They quickly parted. Hinata was blushing violently. Kiba turned casually and looked over at the spiky haired blonde. "Oh, hey Naruto, what's going on?

Naruto's mouth was hung open in shock. "You just- Hinata- YOU KISSED HER!" Naruto was babbling like his usual moronic self.

"Well, yeah, why can't I kiss my girlfriend?"

"YOU'RE GIRLFRIEND?!"

"Naruto, would you stop shouting?" Hinata asked him quietly.

"BUT- YOU- FRIENDS- TEAM- DOG- UH!"

Kiba cocked his head to the side like a dog. "You realize you're not making any sense, right?" He had an amused look on his face.

"I- I GOTTA GO NOW!" Naruto raced out of the shop, his face still stricken in surprise.

Kiba chuckled as he watched the hyperactive ninja rush out of the shop. "What a moron."

Yay! Another Chapter completed! The next chapter probably won't be up until August, because I'm going to Florida the 20th, and my birthday is the 31st.
