Sasuke...! I sobbed. Continuing my endless tears. Which I realized continued after I blacked out. Then I heard a voice, it was muffled, but I knew it was confused, someone shook my shoulder, but I refused to come back to the cruel world. The world that had taken both my brothers. The world that always had to prove that I wasn't special, that I meant nothing. The world that absolutely hated me. Well I hate you too... But the shaking wouldn't stop. So that I was pushed towards the invisible barrier that shielded me from the insults and sadness that surrounded me everyday. And at last, I was completely out of the circle. I opened my eyes. Feeling stiff and sore. I was sure that I hadn't slept over the night. I looked at the clock. 3:45. I had 15 minutes to meet Hinata. I was flicked in the ear.

"Itai..."

"Kumori? Are you alright?" it was Naruto's voice. Good, it wasn't dog-breath.

"Y-yeah... I'm fine..."

"...Um ok?"

"H-how did I get here?"

"I was out training and I saw you, in a clearing," How did I get to the clearing? Oh right...Sasuke.

"O-Oh...Thanks Naru, your a good friend..." he gave me a grin. But this wasn't a happy grin. It was forced. Sympathy and sorrow was masked behind a facade. I knew that the fact that Sasuke was gone was killing him on the inside. I still remember when I met him...

----Flashback----

"HEY! Its that Uchiha kid! The one that carries Gobi no Houkou!" a man yelled. I was playing with Sasuke in the park, when I heard my name, I got off the slide where I had previously slid off, I looked up to the form standing before me, I didn't know what he meant. I knew I was different, I knew about Gobi no Houkou. But I always wondered why my mom didn't like me going out.

"You little runt! You don't deserve to live," the man slapped me, so hard I fell over, Sasuke immediately ran beside me, glaring at the man, while I stood up, holding my now red cheek,

"Hey! Leave her alone!" a 5 and a half year old Sasuke said.

"Oh, look, its 'Sasuke Uchiha'. What are you gonna do huh? Yell at me?" the mean man bent down and picked up a fairly big stone. My eyes widened and I hoped that he wouldn't-

"Gah!" red trickled down my forehead, a sharp pain collided with my skull, everything went blurry,

he bent down again and picked up an even bigger rock, Sasuke realized this and jumped on him,

"RUN KUMORI! HURRY-"

"Why you little brat!" he threw Sasuke, 10 feet away from where we were standing, I heard him yelp,

"I-I.... SASUKE!!" I ran overt to him, and tripped again after feeling another hard structure, make contact with the back of my head. I clutched my hair and head, horrified of the liquid that was oozing out. I reached out my bloody hand, but Sasuke was unconscious. "Sasuke..." I heard footsteps, and quickly tried to get up, I stood my ground and guarded Sasuke. Tears were forming in my eyes, out of pain and fear. "Itai...Itai...Itai..." I sobbed, "P-please mister, I didn't do anything wrong... P-please just...just leave me alone..." I whimpered, scared, for my life and Sasuke's health,
"Do you really think I'd let you get away that easily?" he snorted, his face turning red, "You will die today, so no one will have to look at your ugly little face anymore," he pulled out a kunai and I began losing blood, turning a sickly pale,

"HEY! WHATTYA THINK YOUR DOING!?" a raspy boy's voice said, I looked over, and a kid with blond hair was grinning and me, he had 3 lines on either side of his face, and cheerful blue eyes, he then focused his attention back to the man, his grin turning into an deep scowl, "No one should pick on a girl, thats just wrong!" the man, whom I chose to call 'Dingo' looked over to him,

"Oh look, the nine tailed fox, Kyuubi no Yoko, today you will die too! Heh, look at that, 2 in one day..."

He glared at him. I felt like I was being pulled down. But I had a feeling it wasn't gravity.

"Watch out! Dingo's a mean man!!" I choked, trying to push out the air that seemed stuck in my throat,

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!!" he yelled back.

I cracked open an eyelid. Seeing nothing but white. Painstakingly white. Where was I? What happened? I opened my other eye thoughts flooded in, and two things immediately popped in my mind, Sasuke! And... That blond kid. I turned my head, and saw him, he looked like a mummy, covered in bandages. I gasped, he was staring right back at me, smiling. How could he smile? He was in so much pain. Well I assumed that since he winced when he tried to wave his hand. But, I smiled back, because of common courtesy. I looked back to my other side, there was my mom, Sasuke and Sasuke's family. I threw a questioning look their way. When I noticed their concerned looks, I looked down at myself. My limbs felt numb and heavy, I could feel my hair taped down, I had wrappings along my abdomen. I hadn't remembered a thing Dingo had done. But it must've been really bad, since that other kid was on, like, lock down. I looked over at him again and smiled,

"Thank you." I said, simply, I really was, I couldn't been killed today. If it weren't for him and Sasuke, I then looked back at Sasuke, he too, had bandages wrapping his head, "I-I... I'm sorry S-Sasuke,"

"No, you don't have to apologize,"

"Thank you, Sasu," I grinned at him, "When can I go home?"

"Later today,"

"If you want, we could leave you to rest," my mom hesitated, but nodded,

"Yes, thank you. Please don't worry, I'll be fine," they left, each giving me a hug before they left, Sasuke waited, and looked at me, sadness glowing off him,

"Please don't be sad, Sasu, I'll be fine, please, go home and rest, you must be tired." I said, trying to reassure him,

"...Fine, whatever, see you later..." he gave me another quick glance and walked out, nodding his head at the blondie, gesturing a 'thanks' and 'later'. I turned over to look at him again,

"Thank you."

"Nah, its fine,"

"No really... You risked your life to save me..." I closed my eyes for a brief moment, as if thinking of what to say next, then opened them again, "Your a very... Wonderful person..."

"Thanks... I've never had anyone say that about me before..." he paused, "Anyways, I know what its like to have people with that..."

"Oh yes..."

"I don't know why though, whats wrong with me?" he asked, more to himself then to me,

"I don't see anything wrong... Really I don't. I think anyone would be lucky to have someone like you in they're life. I know I'm am." he blushed, grinning even wider,

"...Th-Thanks..." he cleared his throat, "Ahem, I'm Uzumaki, Naruto,"

"I'm Uchiha, Kumori,"

"Heh, heh, that'd explain the people that came,"

"Where's your family?" he was silent, and his grin dimmed, a great amount, but he still kept a smile,

"I-I... I don't...Have a... a family..." he replied, sadly,

"...I'm sorry..."

"Nah! ITS OK! I'M JUST FINE!!! DATTEBAYO!!" he yelled loudly,

"...Ok... Well, arigato... Gomenasai..."

"Gomen? For what?"

"For getting you involved,"

"I woulda got involved anyway..."

"Arigato..."

"Yeah, yeah." he smiled at me and I smiled back.

This was a really wonderful start of a friendship...

----End of Flashback----

"Yeah... Well..."

"Ok, well I gotta go... You promised to go with Hinata right?"

"Yeah...Um, she won't be all weird right?"

"...NARUTO!" I hit him upside the head, "Don't you dare say that about Hinata!"

"Well, its true!" I hit him again,

"She...She just..." I hesitated, not sure if I should tell him, "She....She just likes you...Alot..." it was for her own good, he'd have to know sometime later anyway,

"R-really?! Whoa, that explains SO much."

"Yeah, anyways, I gotta go meet Hina, Naruto, this means a lot to me, and to her, please don't act like an idiot."

"Hey! I resent that."

"Whatever, see you later Naru-kun!" I ran out, still in my normal clothes, wondering how the evening would play.

"KUMORI-CHAN!! I-I THINK T-THATS T-TOO MUCH!!" Hinata squealed while I applied blush on her,

"NO! Just trust me on this! Common Hina!!" I said as I struggled to continue, she was waving her arms in the air, trying to stop me,

"F-fine, wh-whatever... J-just don't m-make me l-look trampy..."

"Heh, sorry Hina, but you'd never look trampy... Ever...Your too innocent."

"Yeah, w-who made y-you the b-bad girl?"

"Just am! Sexyness is just in the genes!"

"W-what genes would t-that be?"

"Heh, you've seen Sasuke, even as his sister, I gotta admit, I can see why Ino and Sakura like him,"

"O-Ok...Now t-this is j-just awkward...."

"...Y-Yeah, your right, sorry, just wanted to prove a point,"

"B-but your right, you d-do have t-that Uchiha l-look,"

"-giggles- Thanks... But even I have to say, I look really plain,"

"N-Not a-at all!! Y-your one of t-the most b-beautiful g-girls I've e-ever met, i-inside and o-out..."

"...Ok, thanks, but this is REALLY awkward..."

"-giggles- Y-yeah..."

"I bet you think Naru's pretty hot though, don't you?"

"I-I....-blushes- Y-yeah..."

"Well, common, I'll help you with your obi sash if you help me with mine,"

"H-hai!"

"Hm, Hina, your too formal, we're all buds, you can relax!"

"...Hai... Ok, n-now help me."

"-giggles- thats it, very good Hina-chan!"

"N-No seriously, h-help me."

"Oh -laughs- ok, sure," we got ready, laughing along the way, it was fun, and in no time, we were done, she was wearing the same blue, red and orange kimono I picked out for her and I was wearing a black, crimson and brown one. We came out and saw the boys, dressed in tuxes. I scanned Kiba, he was wearing a black silt suit with red trimmings and a eggshell white blouse, then I looked over to Naruto. I laughed, and laughed, I clutched my sides, out of pain from the laughing, I almost started rolling on the floor, but common sense stopped me, its not that he looked bad. No, not even close, it was the fact that he, Uzumaki, Naruto, the number one knuckle headed ninja, was dressed in a black silt suit, with orange edges and a white blouse.

"What?!" he snapped, irritated,

"-laughs- No, its-giggles- nothing!! Ha hahahahaha!!"

"No really, whats wrong with it?"

"Nothing, -laughs- its just....YOU. UZUMAKI NARUTO. IN. A. TUX!!" I burst out laughing. And everyone stared at me like I was going crazy. To be honest, I probably was.

"What do you think Hinata?"

"I-I-blush- I-I think you l-look f-fine..."

"Thanks, you look pretty good yourself," I giggled as Hinata turned red, and Naruto winked at me.

Kiba's POV:

I stared at Kumori, she was wearing a silk black kimono, with red trimmings, and brown border collie puppies at the bottom, with a red obi sash. One part of her hair was tied up, while her bangs cascaded down and framed her face perfectly, the rest just swayed by her waist, I didn't notice that I was oggling,

"Um, Kiba? Time to go, bud," Naruto said, nudging me,

"Hm? Ah, yeah, sure whatever." I pried my eyes away from her, and looked at Naruto, who had his arm wrapped around Hinata's. I smiled, when he looked over at Kumori when it looked like Hinata was going to faint, she just winked at him and grinned. Hinata was surely in heaven right now. I was jealous... Well, somewhat jealous, as little as possible, but something wanted Naruto to be me and Hinata to be Kumori. I wanted this little sissy fit to end. I wanted to be able to hug her and get it over with. And sadly, I actually wanted forgiveness. Me. Kiba. Wanting her. Kumori. Period. There I said it. I wanted her. Not in THAT way. But I wanted her. I wanted her in my life. I wanted her with me. I wanted her to be MINE. To be able to say that I loved her. Freely. And more than a sister. Argh, how can I explain it? How will I make her believe me? Better yet. HOW, do I make her mine? That'll be hard...

"Kumori?"

"Look, I'm only talking to you, cause I want Hinata and Naruto to have a good time. So just...Just... JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!" she yelled, my hair blew back at the sudden loudness of her voice.

"I-I... Kumori...Just...just hear me out, please!" I begged, giving her a puppy dog pout, my best one,

"I-I....NO! I've listened to you too much already! Just... Just stop it Kiba, go and find Ino there if you want. I don't care." she turned away and stomped behind Naruto and Hinata, softening her steps until she was right behind them, she then smiled and hid her utter misery.

"Hey you guys! Hows it going so far?"

"Great! Hina's a lot cooler than I thought-" she hit him over the head, "Itai! I mean, I found out a lot about Hinata I didn't know about before." Hinata was startled that Kumori hit him but she laughed,

"Y-yes, its going very w-well..." Kumori clapped her hands together,

"GOOD!! Thats great!! Now common! Lets go before we miss the fireworks!"

"But the fireworks aren't on till like 9:00 and its only 6:30!"

"Yeah, but if you keep moving that slow, we'll get there by 9:00!! Anyways, did you know that if you kiss someone during new years fireworks, you'll be with them forever!" she stated, turning their heads so they faced each other. Hm... fireworks huh "Yatta! Common now slowpokes! I'll race you there!!"

"But K-Kumori!! Our k-kimono's!!"

"We're ninja's, you'll figure a way..."

"You'll? Whats that-"

"See you there!" she did some hand movements and poofed away. Damn, I gotta learn that...

Kumori's POV:

"Ah!...Well, it might be a while till they get here..."

"Hey! Look! Its Kumo-tard!" a shrill, annoying voice said, Ino...GOD DAMN...How could things get any worse? No! I just jinxed it! Damn! Damn! Damn!

"Oh, hi Ino-bitch," I replied, nonchalantly, I looked over to her side and began laughing, there beside her, she had a cut out cardboard statue of Sasuke. Wow, now she took this WAAAY too far... I mean this was like, class one obsession. And second class stalking. She really needed a hobby...

"What?! Least I have a date!"

"What? With that piece-a cardboard? You really need to get over it," Ino growled,

"Something is better than nothing,"

"... Yeah, whatever, rather go myself than sink THAT low."

"You got lucky last time, little Kiba and Hina!" I shot her a glare.

"I don't need him. I don't need you,"

"Just admit it Uchiha, you like him, and your just mad cause he prefers me!" my blood was boiling, usually, I didn't have much patience with Ino, but this was a special night, and an expensive kimono,

"Yeah, sure, your sooo right. I'm just in love with him, aren't I?" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes,

"-snort- As if he'd like you. He just pitied you cause you have no friends,"

"Heh, yeah. Sure, and you'd know about having friends, how?"

"You'll pay for that Uchiha,"

"What? You gonna break my nails?"

"More like rip them off,"

"-scoffs- Hah! As if you could, 'Oh! I broke my nail!! Now I have to paint them AGAIN!'"

"Whatever, but you'll pay for that, nail-biter,"

"Yeah sure, dumbass,"

"Numb nut!"

"Dip-stick!"

"Hobo!"

"Homo!"

"Dingo!"

"Stalker!"

"Bitch!"

"Ass-face!"

"Mother fucker!"

"Son of a bitch!"

"Hah! I'm not a guy!"

"Oh! Now who spread that lie?"

"Argh! You...Arrgh!!" she stomped off and I felt dominant. Ino-bitch, your lucky... I am going to send you to the farthest pits of hell next time you challenge me like that...

"HEY!!! KUMORI!!" whoa, that was fast... I turned around, and saw Naruto running, pulling Hinata like a ragdoll beside him, looking like he was gonna tackle me, and at last, he pounced

"NARU, NO!!" he seemed to stop as if in mid air, Hinata had circles in her eyes, obviously dizzy from being dragged behind Naruto. Poor Hina... Naruto practically glomped me, but I was used to it,

"Ahh!! Kumori, how dare you leave us to run after you!!"

"Can't-gasp- breath- pant- Naruto!!"

"Ah, gomen!" I saw Kiba walk behind them, with a cool expression, that made me really want to hurt him... A lot.

"Hey, Kiba, Ino went off somewhere over there,"

"Hm, thaanks," he rolled his eyes, and I swear I heard a blood vessel pop,

"ANY...TIME..." I hissed through my teeth, pausing in between words.

"Ah...ok? Well, what're we gonna do first? Rides, food, or games?" Naruto asked,

"Oh, oh! Lets go on that coaster first!" I suggested, hoping that it'd be paired by 2, so Hina and Naru could go together. But I was upset that if I was forced to go, my chances of going with Kiba was high,

"B-But its s-so b-big!" Hinata's eyes grew large as we faced the giant structure,

"Well, thats why we have dates, we can hold on to them," Kiba said, winking at me, I glared back,

"Don't count on it dog-breath,"

"Dogs have cleaner mouths than humans,"

"Oh, that explains you then," I turned around and whipped my hair in his face, and followed Hinata and Naruto. I could tell, he was almost at the end of his nerves. Good, welcome to my world...

"OK!" I clapped my hands together, " Common!"

"HOLY SHIITT!!" I yelled, while the little car was going down the mountain like curve, I clutched onto Kiba, but a few seconds after, I dug my nails into him, making sure he knows that this wasn't supposed to be pleasurable. For him anyway. The ride ended and I felt light headed, Oh dear god... I think I'm gonna chuck up some woodchips...

"Well that was fun..." Kiba said, rubbing his upper arm, somewhat scowling at me, Akamaru just looking at me worriedly, I'm sorry Akamaru, its not you I'm mad at...

"Hey, Hina, Naru, why don't we eat then play some games?" I wasn't ready to be alone with Kiba just yet, but I would for SURE leave them when the fireworks. I needed to. No matter how much it hurt...

When we finished our activities, Hinata had a giant stuffed frog, which resembles Naruto greatly, and I had a big stuffed puppy, which matched my kimono. And no, it wasn't a real stuffed dog or frog, it was a plushy. Dear god, you are sick if you think I'd do that... But as much as I hated to admit it, I really did love it. The plushy.

"You guys! Um, me and Kiba... Are going to wander around for a bit, enjoy the fireworks you guys!"

"B-but! Kumori!!-" Naruto yelled, but I was already dragging Kiba alongside me, I really, REALLY wanted this to work, Hinata was my best friend. And Naru was too, this was just a perfect match. I had an eye for these things. After the couple was out of sight, I let go of Kiba,

"They're together now. You can go look for Ino. I don't care. I'll be in the meadow," when we were kids, we found this small meadow, and every year at new years eve, me and him would sneak off together and watch the fireworks. It had a great view and no one knew about it, except for Naruto and Hinata of course. I turned away from him and began walking, but I continued to feel his presence behind me. "What?"

"...Nothing..."

"Then stop following me," I didn't turn to look at him, I just continued walking, I heard Akamaru whimper, I felt sympathetic, but I wasn't gonna let that stop me,

"No,"

"Kiba," I literally felt like crying, "Please... If this is your idea of a sick game, please stop it, I don't want to play anymore..." I started running, when I got to the woods, I hid behind a tree and cried. I was really tired and frustrated. Nothing ever worked out for me. And I was tired of it. I was tired of hiding. I was tired of fighting. I was tired of my life.

"Now, now, don't cry... She's only gone for a little while..." Sasuke's voice echoed, this reminded me of...

"Mom... Please... I need you... Sasuke... I miss you... Things are so hard these days... Everyone hates me... I'd rather die... Please save me from this living hell..." I was really depressed right now, and to make it worse, I heard running. No...NO! Why, why, why!! But instead of a voice, I heard a bark,

"Aka...Maru?" another bark, I looked down through my swollen eyes and saw a concerned looking dog, "No Akamaru, I'm fine, really, its nothing important," I looked away, " Please, just go run along with your master," I looked at my watch, 8:55, "Its almost time for fireworks..." Great, he'd go with Ino... But if that happened, I don't think I'd be able to look at him anymore. My best friend, with a bitch like her.

"Common, lets watch the fireworks together," I picked him up and carried him. I sat down in the soft grass and looked at the stars. "Beautiful aren't they?"

"Yeah, just like someone I know," my eyes widened,

"K-Kiba?" I shook my head, "Go away, watch the fireworks with Ino, I don't-"

"Something tells me you do care, and something else tells me that you don't want to be alone,"

"Dimare Kiba...."

"Please, just let me explain-"

"No... I really don't want to hear it Kiba..."

"But-"

"NO! I WILL NOT FALL FOR YOUR LITTLE GAMES AND I WILL NOT LET THIS GO!"

"..."

"JUST GIVE IT UP, NOTHING YOU SAY WILL MAKE ANYTHING-" my eyes went as wide as dinner plates, as I stared into his dark black ones, his hair tickled and brushed against my forehead and hair. My hands tried to push him away, but he held me closer, I gave up, but still struggled against him,

"K-Kiba, let me go, now, get off me,"

"Not until to let me talk to you," his face was inches away from mine, and his breath tickled my face,

"F-fine...B-but, please..."

"Yes?"

"N-nothing...Its nothing..." I supported my body with my elbows, but he wouldn't let me up, he pushed his chest down on mine and made me lie down, I scowled,

"Please tell me why your mad at me," I've never seen this side of him before, he was gentle and calm, not demanding but polite. It freaked me out a little, but I liked it,

"Th-theres no reason... I just don't...Ino...You... Nothing..."

"Ino? What makes you think I like Ino?"

"...I don't like where this is going,"

"Tell me... Do you like me?"

"Well, yes, of course, your my best friend..."

"Do you love me?"

"Yeah, like a brother,"

"No... Are you IN love with me?"

"I-I..."

"You don't have to answer... But just tell me, are you jealous of Ino?"

"N-No... Why would I be...?"

"Maybe... You think... I'd choose... her over you?"

"I-I...N-no...Ki..." my eyes widened once again, I stared at his closed eyes, and placed my hands on his chest, I was completely stuck. His hands were on either side of my head. I felt passion and love radiating from him. I heard the 'booms' and 'pops' of the fireworks, but I couldn't concentrate on that right now. I was tired, but I didn't want to admit that I really loved this right now. My eyes were getting droopy, but I refused to give in.

Kiba's POV:

I continued to kiss her. I didn't really know what drove me to do so, but I wanted this so badly. I opened my eyes slightly, and saw chocolate orbs staring at me, tiredly. She was about to give, her eyes then closed, and I felt her wrap her arms around my neck. I smiled, and pulled away. She opened her eyes slowly, and pouted slightly.

"So... How about that?" I asked, nervously,

"..."

"...?"

"Kiba... This is gonna be really awkward later,"

"But... Your eyes are chocolate brown,"

"K-Kiba... Please... tell me... do you love me?" my heart stopped. I did. I have for forever.

"..."

"Tell me."

"..."

"Kiba Inuzuka. Answer me. Do. You. Love. Me?" she asked,

"I don't want to answer..."

"Unbelievable! YOU ASKED ME!"
"Yeah. But I didn't demand an answer."

"Well... This is a time to answer. Its gonna be the only chance you have. Take it or leave it."

"If I answer no, will we still be friends?"

"And what if you answer yes?"

"Then... I keep my promises Kumori. Especially with you."

"... 7 years of friendship... Do you really think I'd let that go?"

"I made you a promise that I wouldn't leave. And I won't. Ever."

"Fine. But, I won't tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"If I love you."

"Fine... I won't tell you, either." I smiled at her, she did the same,

"But... I do... Like you... a lot..."

"I know..." she pushed me off her,

"We missed the fireworks..."

"No we didn't..." I said, winking at her, she blushed, which was a very rare sight,

"-sigh- Love me, love me..." she muttered to herself,

"Ah, well, there'll be time for that,"

"-laughs- Yeah, sure... But, set me straight, do you like Ino?"

"She's cute..."

"..."

"But to clingy, I mean, did you SEE that cardboard Sasuke?"

"-laughs- Yeah. Now thats just sad..." her eyes were navy though, so I knew I had said something wrong,

"By the way, when I said cute, I meant creepy,"

"Yeah, sure, whatever,"

"Your way hotter," I grinned at her, but she just frowned,

"Don't tell me lies Kiba... I'm not..."

"How would you know?"

"I have mirrors, I'm not extraordinary," she sighed,

"You are to me,"

"...Thanks Kibi..."

"Yatta! You called me Kibi!"

"Yeah..." I leaned on my shoulder, "Gomen..."

"For what?"

"For acting like a bitch,"

"Nah, you get used to it..."

"Kibi! Thats not nice," she whined,

"That kiss... You enjoyed it didn't you?"

"N-No.... Of course..."

"You did...! You did! YOOOOUUU DDIIIDD!"

"What? You liked it too..."

"How would you know?"

"Because, if you didn't, I wouldn't have the guts to do this!" she pulled my by my collar and pressed her soft lips against mine, tilting her head slightly, her eyes were already closed, it was intense. Before I could do anything, she pulled away and smiled,

"Wow..."

"I TOLD YOU SO!!" I heard Naruto's voice boom, oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! OH CRAP!

"I-it seems your r-right N-Naruto..." I looked over to Kumori, who had completely lost the blood in her head,

"SOO!! How was your guys's night, huh?"

"How was yours Naru-kun?"

"...I asked first,"

"O my god! YOU GUYS KISSED! YOU DID IT! . KISSED. HER. HINATA!!" Kumori was jumping up and down like there was no tomorrow, I couldn't help but smile at her childlikeness... "FINALLY! ALL MY HARD WORK PAID OF!!"

"W-well it seems l-like you guys hit i-it off," Hinata said, giggling.

"-giggles- Yeah..." Kumori said, smiling, my face felt hot,

"Yeah... Ok, well, lets enjoy the last of whats left of the night!" I said, cheerfully, everyone nodded in agreement, but somehow I felt like I shoulda said what I wanted...

I love you Kumori...

Kumori's POV:

That was great... but I didn't tell Kiba what I wanted...

I love you Kiba...
