Chapter 5
I pushed the front door open and stumbled through the opening. It had begun raining a while back and I had struggled to reach home before I was completely drenched. Fortunately, I was considerably close to home and it did not take me long to come hurling through the door. I slammed the door shut and took a big shaky breath. I stood against the door with my eyes closed for a few minutes, contemplating whether I should take a shower or just go to bed.
Mostly though, I was thinking about the day's events. It was only yesterday when I was spending all day held up in my room and already I learned so much.
I pushed off the door and headed up the stairs to my room. I knew Neji was probably in there waiting for me. And i completely dreaded the thought.
I turned the handle and the door slowly creaked open to reveal my dark haired cousin sitting directly on my bed comfortably, as though he had been sitting there for hours.
"Nice of you to drop by, Hinata. I sure did wait a while." Neji's cold voice rang through the silent room. "You didn't start hanging out with that Kiba boy again, right? I would want to have to remind you why I want you to stay away from him, do I?"
I shook my head lightly, looking down as i did so. I didn't like looking in his eyes when they were so empty like that.
"Well I'm sure you are tired so I am going to let you sleep. Don't expect me to forget about this. The next time I hear you have been hanging out with that mutt, I will make a personal stop by his house." Neji snarled rather quietly, pushing past me on his way out.
I knew he was angry that I didn't say anything but I couldn't help it. Neji was just too scary and powerful. I can say nothing under his gaze.
I silently shut my door and collapsed on my bed. I was actually very tired...
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Kiba, are you ready for bed?" Kiba's mom, Tsume, called down the hall to her son's bedroom.
"Mom, I'm grown up now! You don't need to make sure I'm ready for bed!" Kiba yelled back, not bothering to get up from his bed.
"Did you brush your teeth?" Tsume asked.
"Damn!" Kiba struggled to get out of bed only to trip over his sheets and fall face first to the floor.
Tsume sighed at her son's struggles but also laughed at how clumsy he seemed to be.
"How is Hinata? I heard you saw her today." Tsume called down the hall.
The struggling stopped and nothing was heard for a while until Kiba finally replied.
"She... Was fine. Until Sakura showed up. She pretty much ruined Hinata's night. I don't know if I will ever convince her to hang out again. Kurenai-sensei is even more worried than me. She can tell that Hinata is suffering for more things than just Naruto. We just don't know what..." Kiba's voice died out as he thought of how much he had failed the girl he loved. First he couldn't save her from heartbreak and now he couldn't save her from some other problem. He couldn't even figure out what it is!
"Kiba..."
Tsume's voice sounded closer now as she appeared beside her son, kneeling down to place a hand on his shoulder.
"Hinata will be fine. You don't need to worry. And seeing as how close you two are, I'm sure she will tell you and maybe even let you help her. You really care about this girl and I can tell you that she care about you too." Tsume whispered to Kiba.
"Thanks Mom. I don't know how anyone could survive without your helpful lectures." Kiba smirked.
"Go brush your teeth before I give Akamaru the left over steak from last night!" Tsume warned.
Kiba screamed and rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushing his teeth.
Hinata would be fine. She won't still be upset about Sakura. She will hang out with him again.
