Well, the last chapter. Sad in its own way but I'm glad it's finished as well. I decided to just finished this one up and persue that other story idea on a different story. I decided the night after I posted chapter eight. The reason I didnt get this chapter up sooner is because I acutally wrote another story. Its another Kiba Hinata fic so if you want you can go to my profile and read it. (I'd really like it if you read it!)
I still do not own Naruto.
Kiba's Puppies
Chapter 9
Looking just about the same as he had when he had left Kiba reentered the village he loved.
The mission was obviously a success and he was no worse for wear.
Upon entering the gates he was immediately confronted by Shikamaru.
"Thank goodness you're back," Shikamaru exclaimed with expiration.
"Didn't realize I would be so missed," Kiba said grinning.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes but said nothing about it.
"Kiba you need to talk to Hinata. If anyone can get to her now it'll be you."
Akamaru barked and Kiba relayed his question.
"What's wrong with Hinata?"
"No one seems to know. She has completely shut herself off from the rest of the world. And it's not like before when she was just shy, she just plain won't speak to anyone. If she does speak its one or two words and then she does something else. All she seems to care about are those pups of yours. She almost never goes to her own home anymore. She stays in your room or is out in the forest with the pups. We've all tired to talk to her but she shrugs us all off. We even got Naruto to try to see what was wrong and even he couldn't get her to say; you're our last hope for her."
The sight of Shikamaru getting so passionate about something was a bit unnerving.
The guilt of knowing all of it was his fault sat in his stomach like a heavy bolder.
"Thanks Shikamaru," he yelled as he dashed off with Akamaru in quick pursuit.
HE reached his house and ran to his room. While his room reeked of Hinata and the pups she was not there.
He raced from the room back to the road. After concentrating chakra to his nose he followed Hinata's scent out into the forest.
The sunlight was starting to fade and still he hadn't found her. Just as he was starting to panic and think that she had ran away or something like it he stumbled into a clearing.
Hinata laid curled up in the center and the pups, larger than they had been when Kiba had left, were playing around her.
Kiba attempted to walk up to Hinata but all three pups scented Kiba and jumped between him and Hinata and began growling.
Akamaru walked up to the pups and barked once and they all went silent.
"They were guarding her," Kiba said with a curious look at the pups.
He shook his head once and moved over to Hinata. He laid down beside her, enjoying the cool air and the sounds of the night bugs.
Kiba watched as the full moon slowly rose above them and bathed the forest with its' soft glow.
He couldn't help glace over at Hinata to see her pale skin shimmering in the dancing moonlight. Kiba's breath caught and his heart attempted to batter a hole though his chest.
He slid a hand over her cheek. He skin was cool and smooth beneath his.
With no hesitation Kiba leaned down and brought his lips to hers.
When he pulled back something at the edge of Hinata's eye glinted for a second in the moonlight before it rolled down her face and to the ground.
Kiba wiped the silver ribbon the tear had left behind from her face.
"I l-love you K-Kiba-Kun."
Her soft voice wrapped around him and her words caressed his ears.
"I love you too," he whispered, kissing her forehead.
"I-I'm sorry a-about what h-happened w-with Naruto."
Kiba slowly shook his head.
"From what I heard you don't seem to feel the same way about him."
"I-I don't. I've h-had a lot of t-time to think a-about it and I-I completely love y-you and o-only you."
Kiba kissed her again and she slowly wrapped an arm around his neck so even when he did pull away he couldn't pull far.
"If it weren't for those pups we probably wouldn't be here now," Kiba said looking at the pups.
"I'm g-glad y-you found t-them," Hinata said before Kiba lowered himself and brought his lips to hers.
