Me? Liking Hinata… Impossible. We're just childhood friends; nothing could ever happen between us anyway. It would be weird, right? I can't really imagine being her boyfriend; I'm more of a brother to her. I'm just worried about her safety, yeah that's it. What if Naruto hurts her? He'll sure as hell have to deal with me that's for sure, no one ever hurts Hinata. I'm just trying to protect her… I don't ever want to see her sad, that's all. I'm not really in love with her, or am I?
I screamed at that thought. Why did thinking have to be so damn painful? Okay for one thing, maybe I am jealous, just because he's basically stealing one of my best friends who's like a little sister to me! Who wouldn't be jealous about that? Two, I'm missing out on a daily ritual. Eating lunch with Hinata because of him. This is all Naruto's fault; I should just march right up to him and give him a piece of my mind. Then my stomach growled rather loud and I hunched over remembering that I forgot my food in the classroom.
"Damn you Naruto!" I yelled.
---Back In The Classroom---
Hinata stood silently next to Naruto as everyone else broke out into a random topic. She looked up at him nervously biting her lip, "N-Naruto-kun… C-can w-we w-w-walk h-home-"
Naruto smiled at her while finishing her sentence, "Walk home together? Sure Hinata-chan."
I returned and took my seat with a rather frustrated face. My eyes wandered over to their position, it was despicable. He was basically flirting with her, it made my blood boil. Shino seemed to be enjoying this as I turned to see him snickering at my envious state.
"Don't you wish you were in his position?" Shino teased. "Still won't admit it? Face it, the signs are obvious."
"I AM NOT JEALOUS." I said while shooting up out of my seat. "NOR DO I LIKE HER."
Everyone in the class turned to look at me, my face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato. I rushed out into the hallway, there was no way I could face anyone now. People would question me if I went back there. Right now, my only option was to run away like a dog with his tail in between his legs. Damn Shino, he just had to make me embarrass myself.
I looked back at the school one last time before going home.
"She doesn't need me… She has Naruto now, I'm sick of thinking about this shit."
Hinata ran towards the window and watched my retreating back, but was interrupted as the teacher came back into the room. "Everyone get into your seats." Kurenai instructed, "Class is now in session."
"I wonder what that was about?" Hinata said to herself while taking one last look at me from the window. "Maybe I should talk to him when I get home."
---In The Park---
I sat atop one of the swings in the nearby park, reflecting on what happened back in the classroom. If only I wasn't such an idiot this wouldn't have happened. But I guess no one could really help themselves if something like this were to happen. Doesn't jealousy ruin even the nicest of people? I laughed at my last though; I wasn't really nice at all. Especially the way I acted back there, there was no excuse for my childish behavior. Surely Hinata would end up hating me for that, I don't blame her. "Not like it matters, she's too busy focusing on Naruto to care about me anymore… I don't think I'm going to go home tonight."
It felt like someone just took away my most prized possession, then I realized… Shino was right. He was always right, but still as stubborn as I am I tried to testify against him. I was only lying to myself, trying to run away from the truth. That in fact I, Kiba Inuzuka did love Hinata with all my heart. I didn't even have a chance to tell her how I felt, and here I was letting her get swept off her feet by that undeserving punk Naruto. What a fool I am for being so slow. "It doesn't matter anymore, if it's what she wants... Then I'll let her have it."
Broken hearted and dejected I began walking with no destination. Not knowing where I'd end up, it didn't matter... Not like I wanted anyone to find me right now.
