Hey guys! Chapter TWO of Escort! Yay! Dramatic chapter! Beware! Thank you! ^.^

Hinata mumbled something, after being shook. "Mm..." She sat up, and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. When she opened them, she saw Kiba walking out of the tent.

Then she looked down, immediatly turning red... She was only wearing a bandage around her chest, and her underwear... 'Had Kiba seen... Maybe that's why he left the tent without a word...'

She shook the thought out of her head, and changed, before leaving the tent as well. She say Kiba standing there, talking to the little dog on his head.

"Are we leaving y-yet?" Hinata asked. Kiba turned around, and nodded. "Let me just get the tent down." He walked past Hinata, leaving that feeling in her chest rise up again. She looked behind her to see Kiba kneeling down to get the stick hold up the tent. "Do you need help?" She offered.

Kiba slightly turned his head, enough for Hinata to see his slit-like eyes, and a smirk. "Nope. I'm your escort and protector, anyway. I should do this myself." When his head turned back to the task at hand, Hinata tilted her head, slightly.

A few minutes later, Kiba had the tent, and sleeping bag, and stood up. "Ready to go, Hinata?" The shy girl nodded. They walked in a comfortable silence for a few hours.

Hinata felt bored, which was not normal for her. "S-so you never told me about y-yourself, K-Kiba..." Hinata looked down, because this was not what should would say.

Kiba stared at the girl, who was fidgeting again. "Why do you want to know?" He asked her. Hinata shrugged, but you had to be close to notice through her baggy coat.

"I-I... W-well you asked m-me..." Hinata mentally facepalmed herself for stuttering so much.

"It's fine. I'm just some everyday dog-nin. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong with this dog-nin thing... Please, I'm begging you.)" Kiba answered.

Hinata nodded, sensing he didn't want to talk anymore. Hearing a stick break from behind them, Kiba turned around and sniffed the air. Hinata stared at the boy. "A-are you sniffing the air?" She asked him, finding it unusual. Kiba continued, but not before sticking up a finger telling Hinata to be quiet.

"Can you use your Byakugon to see if there is anybody with chakra around?" Kiba asked, Hinata nodded, and put her hands together. "Byakugon!" Kiba watched as veins started to become visible around her eyes.

"See anything?" Hinata turned around in a full circle. "No chakra levels. Only small animals." Kiba nodded, and they started walking again, but Hinata still had her Byakugon activated.

Kiba's eyes were now thinner than before, indicating he was more focused. Kiba sniffed the air again. "We're almost there." He announced.

They walked in more silence, until they had gotten there, which took them an hour. Hinata looked at the town in awe. "Wow... Y-you were right... You must have a k-keen sense of smell..." Hinata stuttered.

"Uh-huh. You bet. Who do you need to-" They heard a voice coming from behind them. Hinata gasped to see who it was. "N-Naruto-kun..." Hinata's voice became barely audible, and her face turned red. "Hey, Naruto." Kiba told the blonde.

"Hey, Kiba. Hey, Hinata. Why are you guys here?" Naruto asked. Hinata was about to ask Kiba how he knew Naruto, until, he spoke up himself. "Hinata has a meeting with someone here. Tsunade told me to be her escort." Kiba explained. Hinata looked around, and quietly activated her Byakugon again, while Naruto and Kiba talked.

"Hinata, what's wrong? Do you see anything?" Kiba asked, seeing Hinata stare at the forest. "I-It's them... They're here..." Kiba's head sharply turned to the forest.

"We can't lead them to the village... They'll cause to much trouble..." Kiba thought for a few seconds before turning to Hinata and Naruto. "Hinata, stay with Naruto." Kiba looked at Naruto. "Keep her in your sight." Hinata looked at Kiba, looking franticly for his plan within his expression.

All of a sudden, Kiba was already outside of the village, far away from Hinata and Naruto. Hinata was about to run to Kiba, but Naruto held her back. "Kiba said you had to stay. It's to dangerous out there, being hunted and all."

Hinata stared at the boy with whiskers. "Kiba told you? T-those ninja's are d-dangerous! T-they nearly k-killed Neji before!"

Naruto looked at the forest. "Don't worry, Hinata. Kiba is a strong ninja. If you knew him like I did, you'd know that. Have you ever seen him fight before?" He asked Hinata. She shook her head in response.

"We weren't attacked traveling here. W-we easily got here..." Hinata looked at where they heard battle cries. "Maybe that was their plan. To make you think you got here without a scratch, and then battling you out of the blue." Naruto told her.

"M-maybe... maybe we should go h-help him... There was about f-five when they attacked Neji..." Hinata looked down.

"Kiba wants to finish this mission, by getting you to that meeting, safe and sound. Just let him do his job. He'll be fine... I hope..." Naruto said, making that last bit barely audible, but Hinata still heard him.

The two heard a crash, not far from the village. They ran outside of the village grounds, to see Kiba leaning against a tree, injured badly.

"Kiba!" Hinata yelled, running towards the body, with Naruto following. They sat there, beside him, and Kiba looked up.

"H-Hinata..." He choked out, spitting out blood. Hinata's eyes widened. "Kiba, get up... we need to bring you to someone to heal you..." Hinata tried to nudge him from his spot with no avail.

Kiba chuckled, shocking the two. "Naive girl!" He yelled, before reaching out to choke Hinata. "K-Kiba!" She managed to yell. "Hya!" She heard, from Naruto. Kiba was thrown to the side, from his kick. Hinata rubbed her neck and stared at Kiba.

"Y-You're not K-Kiba aren't you...?" She asked, slowly. "Kiba wouldn't have gone down that easily..." They watched, as 'Kiba' slowly turned into one of the ninja's that were hunting Hinata. "Foolish and naive. Falling for a simple illusion such as that? Sad, really. But the real Kiba won't make it." He said, before laughing.

Hinata and Naruto had to take a few seconds to process this. "You... You liar!" Hinata finally yelled. "Gentle Fist!" She cried, before charging after the mad man. Naruto was running after her, ready to fight, as well. But before they even got to the man, a sword went through his stomach.

Hinata and Naruto paused, deeply confused. When the man collasped, a bloody shock was behind him.

Hinata and Naruto's eyes widened, to see Kiba, with blood seeping through his forehead protector, and blood near his lower abdomen. Kiba finally collasped, falling back.

Hinata just stared at the body, before running towards him. "Naruto-kun! G-go get help!" Hinata yelled at the boy. Naruto nodded, running into the village. You could hear him yelling for help.

Hinata smacked herself mentally. 'This is not a time to stutter!'

Hinata rested her hand beneath Kiba's head, supporting his weight. "Kiba... Kiba come on..." She finally managed to say. Kiba's eyes were barely open. "That sword... That sword was in your stomach wasn't it... You pulled it out to save us didn't you..."

Kiba's facial expressions stayed still, causing Hinata's eyes to water. She had not known the brave man for long, but she felt this warm feeling inside of her whenever he looked at her.

Finally, Kiba's mouth twitched, into a small smile, before falling limp again.

Naruto came out of the village with help, and a few men with a stretcher. They carefully put Kiba onto the stretcher and brought him into the village, with Naruto, and a worried Hinata behind them.

Uh-oh! Mwuahaha... I'm evil. :) Yes! This will continue!

Woo!

Kiba: [Eye twitch] You killed me?

Me: Pfft... No... I wouldn't do that to one of the main characters... Pshh...

Hinata: B-but you just d-did...

Me: Don't sass me. I will duct tape you to a tree.

Hinata: B-but we could j-just...

Me: I just said don't sass me.

Kiba: Geez.

Me: Excuse me?

Kiba: Oh yeah! [Uncomfortable grin] Jade forgot to say, she does not own Naruto... Heh.. [Frown] You still killed me.

Me: Kiba... Hinata...

[Silence]

Me: I would shut your mouths if I were you... I am the author. I can make you switch bodies... however, Kiba would probably touch himself if I did so...

KibaHina: [Deep blush]

Hinata: K-Kiba...? [Stares at him]

Kiba: Screw you Jade.

Love you! ^.~
