Well this chapter is DEFENATLY longer than the first two for which I'm glad. But I would like to tell everyone a tiny detail of how I write. You will understand better why this is . . . lacking. It's called skeleton writing. It's were I don't focus on anything but getting the basic idea on paper because I have a lot of story ideas so if I don't get them on paper I forget them and nothing drives me more crazy. So that's what this is. Probably sometime this summer in my free time I will go back and re-do this whole thing. So if it seems like this is a little . . . bare then your right. It is, but I plan on refining it later on.
Kiba's Puppies
Chapter Three
Kiba was awake as the sun rose. The pups continued to sleep so he quickly left the room and went down to his kitchen.
He sat in a chair, slowly eating his breakfast.
Though he looked calm and probably sleepy his heart was racing for some reason. He tried to clam himself but of course it didn't work.
Akamaru barked, snapping Kiba from his thoughts.
"What is it?" Akamaru barked again and Kiba shrugged slightly. "I don't know when Hinata will be over."
Kiba let out a sigh and went back to staring out of the window.
Akamaru looked at his master and knew that he was thinking of her. He turned and went back to the pups.
The sun had risen but Kiba was still sitting in the same chair staring out of the window.
He rose from his chair and was halfway to the door before Hinata ever knocked.
He opened the door and his face split into a huge grin.
"Good morning Hinata," He said stepping aside to let her come inside.
"Good morning Kiba," she said somewhat shyly.
He closed the door behind her and they walked up to his room.
The three pups were finally awake and were crying.
Akamaru growled at Kiba who just laughed. "You can't even handle three puppies," he said teasingly. Akamaru growled again and went back to whimpering to the pups in an attempt to silence them.
"What wrong with them," Hinata asked looking concernedly at the pups.
"They're just hungry. I will be right back with some food."
He ran down to the kitchen and filled a bottle with warm milk. He paused for a moment and took a couple deep breaths to clear his nose of her scent.
It was impossible to completely be rid of her scent so he went back to the room.
Hinata was down on the ground next to the bed, slowly stroking the pups.
Kiba stood still in the door way watching as the crying pups were silent beneath Hinata's hands.
He walked over and got down next to her.
"Here, try to feed one," he said handing her the bottle. She slowly brought it to the black pup's mouth. The pup greedily started sucking the milk out.
In turn she fed both the grey and white one till all three had their fill.
The three pups curled up on the blanket and were soon asleep.
"Well I think the pups like you," Kiba said with a smile.
"Do you really think so?" She looked over at him sending his heart racing.
"Of course I do. What's not to like," he said as his smile softened slightly.
Hinata blushed brightly and looked away.
Kiba grinned widely and turned around. He sat down and leaned back against the bed.
She sat down next to him, making sure they weren't touching much to his disappointment.
"I wonder if Shino is training with that new friend of his," Hinata said looking at Kiba.
He laughed lightly. "You mean that new girl he met? I don't think training is the only think they are doing."
She blushed at the thought but smiled as well.
"I think the pups will be asleep for a while. Do you want to go train?"
Hinata smiled and nodded. They both got up and walked out of the house and to their usual training spot.
They trained for half the day before Kiba decided they should go have lunch so he took her to the ramen shop.
Kiba groaned inwardly at the sight of the blond haired numbskull of a ninja eating, well more like devouring, a bowl of ramen.
Why did I have to bring her here he thought watching as Hinata blushed at the sight of her crush.
He sat down a couple seats down from Naruto and ordered two bowls of ramen for Hinata and himself.
"So do you want to help me name the pups," he asked her.
She didn't answer; she was too busy staring at Naruto out of the corner of her eye.
He sighed and started eating the ramen that had been set in front of him.
Kiba focused on his food, not wanting to see Hinata stare at Naruto, who remained as oblivious as ever.
He finished his food and stood up. "I'm going home," he said to Hinata but she didn't even seem aware o him.
He turned and left. He walked for a while, deep in thought. He wandered into a deserted ally.
"Why does she have to like him," he growled hitting the wall with his left fist.
"Why can't she like me?" He hit the wall with his other fist.
He was literally shaking from anger. Blood slowly dripping from his knuckles and puddle on the ground below.
"Does hitting the wall really make you feel any better?" Kiba turned to see Shikamaru leaning back against the wall at the mouth of the ally.
"Yes it does," Kiba growled, not in the mood to deal with Shikamaru's smart mouth.
"Only because you're picturing Naruto's face beneath your punches."
Kiba glared at him. There was silence when the steady drip of blood from his fist to the ground could be heard.
"But beating Naruto won't do you any good. Why don't you just tell Hinata how you feel? Be for her what Naruto cant."
"Who says I want to be something Naruto isn't," he said blankly.
"Oh please. It's obvious you're in love with Hinata. You should just tell her."
"No I'm not," Kiba said angrily walking away from Shikamaru.
Shikamaru sighed and shook his head. "What a drag," he muttered disappearing into the shadows.
