While Hinata sat alone awaiting the return of Kiba and Naruto, she was still worrying about the events that took place the previous night. She tried to put herself in Hanabi's shoes. But no matter what came to mind, logically, there were better ways to handle all those situations. The only one that made sense was she finally snapped from being her father's ideal daughter for so long. The only escape she saw she took.

'Are they married? That would certainly have father outraged and if they weren't that would cause father's blood to boil even more' Hinata thought while fiddling with the apple Naruto had given her.

'Oh, Hanabi, of all the people, why him?' All Hinata wanted to do now was slap some sense into that girl. Disappointment didn't even begin to cover what Hinata felt toward her sister. Hinata also knew, however, that no matter what, she was too late. She could no long stop her sister from making a foolish mistake. Her sister was pregnant. Not only that, but with Saskue's child. She would be an aunt to a child who truly didn't belong in this world. She worried for her sister. Was Saskue treating Hanabi as well or even a tiny bit as Naruto treated her? This caused her to become even more concerned for her sister.

Just then she felt pressure around her neck. She looked up and saw Naruto standing behind there, his arms wrapped around her neck. She blushed and kissed his cheek. He Smiled at her and (without letting go) sat beside her.

Kiba came back very slowly however. He didn't know what to say or even how to act around Hinata. Her sister was in a tight spot. He was glad that Hinata had had a rough life, if not she might be the one in Hanabi's shoes right now. He drudged slowly toward the tent, trying to avoid the sight of Hinata as he made his way through the camp. He prayed that Naruto would keep her distracted long enough for him to make it inside.

She saw him but didn't want to bug him. In time, he would be able to deal with this better, and on his own. They all would.

She then faced toward Naruto, the one who for so long gave her the courage to become a ninja in the first place. She was impressed how everyday he tried to improve on something. But she could tell he worried about her a lot, and she didn't want him to worry about her too much. They all had enough problems without adding her to the list. So she decided to tell Naruto how she felt, and maybe, since he wants to be better, he will take it the way she means it.

He didn't. He thought she meant he didn't care about what happened to her family. That she thought it was none of his concern. This had caused a fight to break out.

"I like you a lot, why wouldn't I care about your family?"

"No, no, it's not like that, it's just I-I I don't need you worrying about me, sometimes, I can handle things on my own."

"Look, I'm never not going to be concerned about you, its what a good boyfriend does, looks after his girl. No matter what the circumstance."

"Yeah, but, I-I I'm just so… confused." She looked at the ground but Naruto just ducked down to her level and smiled a kind but worried smile at her. Then he got closer and kissed her. All the sudden all her concerns melted away. The only thing that mattered was this moment. She felt her life would be different from this point on.

"Thank you, Naruto" She whispered as her pushed her hair back behind her ear.

"Yeah, well the best part of a fight is making up right?" She smiled at her and she placed her hand near her mouth while blushing. She didn't look well rested however and Naruto thought that maybe it would be a good idea to get some sleep.

"Yeah, your right, I'm kinda tired anyway, goodnight Naruto" She said and gave him a goodnight kiss.

Naruto watched her as she walked over to and then inside the tent. He never wanted to make her feel uncomfortable, but they had just had their first fight, and he already felt he had failed. But he reassured himself that all couples fight, and its how they end that makes the couple stronger or no longer existent.

Naruto poked at the fire with a stick. He thought about how well Kiba had taken the news. Yeah, right. At first Kiba didn't even believe him. Kiba said Naruto made too many stories up and this one was no exception. But after Naruto explained that he himself hadn't heard it from Hanabi but from Hinata, Kiba started to buy into the story. But after this Kiba just threw a bunch if questions at Naruto. However Naruto didn't know any of the answers to them so he kinda just made up answers that might please Kiba. It took him all day to get Kiba to finally agree to go back to the campsite.

Naruto chuckled at the memory. But then he remembered that Kiba still liked Hinata and didn't want her to get hurt anymore then he did. Hopefully he won't try to comfort her in a too friendly way.

Just then Naruto realized that Kiba and Hinata were inside the tent together ALONE! Naruto rushed inside to see…

Nothing, they where both sleeping on opposite sides of the tent. Naruto lay between the two and snuggled close to Hinata.. He should trust her more then that. And if Kiba did try anything, he should have enough faith in her that she would have called him. He brushed her hair away from her face and kissed her cheek

'Get a good nights sleep, cause tomorrow will be the day we tell the Hokage'
