Chapter 9: The Message
"Hinata," Kiba looked away. "It's hard to explain things sometimes. I really don't know hot to tell you these things. Just…remember…um…stay innocent!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Hinata questioned.
"Well…uh…" someone began to knock on the door. "The door!"
Hinata opened the door. "Yes?"
"Hi, Hinata," Ino smiled.
"Ino, hello. What brings you here?" she let the other girl in.
"I have a message for Kiba."
"A message?" Kiba looked at Ino.
"Yes, you're being asked to come to the Hokage's Mansion."
"Why?"
"A mission."
"Really? Naruto…that jerk."
"well, I'll see you later then," Ino smiled as she walked away.
"I wonder who else is going on the mission with you, Kiba," Hinata turned to the boy.
"I don't know. I should change and wash up a bit," Kiba decided.
"Ok."
Kiba walked towards his room. As he did, Shino came out of the bathroom.
"What's going on?" Shino questioned.
"I have to take a shower and get going," Kiba replied.
"Where do you have to go?"
"To see Naruto. I finally got that mission I wanted."
"That must make you happy."
"Yeah, I guess," he continued to walk past Shino towards his room.
Slowly, Shino walked into the living room where he saw Hinata sitting on the couch. Making his way in, he sat down next to her.
"Is something wrong, Hinata?" Shino turned to look at her.
"Well, I'm not that sure. Kiba seemed sad after Ino came over to tell him about his mussion," Hinata explained.
"That's odd. Kiba really wanted a mission the other day."
"I don't know. Ever since he came home, he hasn't seem very happy. I just don't like it when he's sad like this."
"I'm sure everything will be fine. He should be back to his happy self soon."
Hinata sighed. "I sure hope so."
The bathroom door opened, and Kiba came out. As he walked into the he looked at the other two.
"Kiba…" the girl looked up at him.
"I'll be back later to tell you what's going on," Kiba smiled and left.
