A.N. : The P.O.V in the story changes to Kiba for this chapter. It is starting from the day Sakura asked him to come with her on the mission.

Chapter 4

"Hey, Hinata need any help?" Kiba walked in to Hinata's garden where she was hanging out her clothes to dry. She had got back from her spying mission with Shino the day before and was cleaning her clothes. "Your dad told me you were out here" Kiba took a t-shirt from the basket and pegged it on to the line.

"Thanks Kiba" Hinata smiled and they continued to hang up the clean clothes.

"So how did your mission go? Did you find everything you needed for Tsunade-sama?"

"Yeah, I'm a little tired but me and Shino got all the information Tsunade-sama requested"

Kiba smirked and picked up another t-shirt

"I'm a little jealous. Shino got to spend 4 days with you alone." Hinata gave him a shocked look.

"Kiba!"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Hmm... how to put it... It's just that we haven't been on a mission together for so long. We used to be team 8... But now days we never spend any time together." Hinata nodded in agreement and continued with the work which had to be done.

When they were done Hinata invited Kiba in to have some tea as a thank you for helping her with her chores.

"Hey, Hinata" Neji walked over to Hinata and Kiba. "Do you think you can come with me to buy some food for dinner tonight? I'm no good with choosing food and I know that you said you wanted to cook. I'll pay so Kiba can come too we could use an extra pair of hands." They both nodded and cleared away the tea set and followed Neji towards the town.

They had got all they needed from the fruit shop and the pastry shop, all they needed to do now was go to the butchers. They didn't get far before Sakura spotted them and ran over, she looked flushed and worried.

"Do you think you three could come on a mission with me? We leave at dawn tomorrow"

"What sort of mission is it" Now Neji looked just as worried as Sakura.

"A murder mission..."

"Sasuke..." Neji knew from experience that the only one who Sakura would go on a suicide mission for would be Sasuke.

Kiba Went back too his house after agreeing to go on the mission with her. He had been told that along with Hinata and Neji Shikamaru would also be coming. He hadn't been on a mission with Neji or Shikamaru since the last time they tried to stop Sasuke 4 years ago, but he knew that he could trust them both. They were allies of Konoha after all. He laughed to himself as he recalled the conversation that he and Hinata had shared earlier that same day. He had been complaining that they hadn't been on a mission together in so long. Even though they didn't do many missions together any more they were still close friends. And they always would be.

Kiba packed all of the things which he would need for this mission. He went to the tap and filled his water container, packed as much food as he would need and he packed his sleeping bag. He wouldn't need much else. He petted Akamaru who was now the same height as him.

"Good news Aka. Me and you are going on a mission with Hinata." Akamaru barked to show that he approved. And they both went to sleep.

Kiba was woken up early the next morning by Akamaru licking his face. He tried to push the human size dog away but failed. He couldn't help laughing.

"C'mon Akamaru, I know your excited but can you please get off!" The huge dog jumped off of Kiba's bed and ran out of the door. Kiba jumped out of bed and was closely following behind him.

Kiba ate all of the breakfast he could so that he wouldn't get hungry any time soon, grabbed his bag and left the house.

He was the third one there, Hinata and Neji had arrived already, they probably came together. He walked over too them and said hello.

Not long after his arrival, Shikamaru showed up too... Not too long after that someone else was coming towards them... It was too tall to be Sakura... Did she find some one else after she had found them? As the person got closer she was easier to see...She had long blonde hair and was wearing a crop top and mini skirt. Shikamaru was the first one to recognise her.

"Ino!" The lazy chunin walked over too her and they began talking, Kiba couldn't make out what they were saying so he turned back towards Hinata and Neji.

"D'ya think Sakura asked her to join the mission?" Kiba asked?

"I'm not sure, but knowing Ino she probably ASKED to join. She hates Sasuke as much as Sakura." Shikamaru and Ino walked over to the three spectators. And they began to discuss strategies.

"We have enough of us here too take Sasuke out. We just have to hope that he doesn't have any other Akatsuki members with him, that would mean trouble for all of us." Kiba knew that Shikamaru knew what he was talking about, so he just nodded and agreed with what he said.

About 5 minutes later Sakura arrived at the front gates. Ready to leave for there mission. So they left.
