Yamanakas Are a Pain

Chapter Seven: Ino Has Some Fun

"No...N-no he doesn't Ino-chan."

Ino rolled her eyes at the Hyuuga heiress. Wasn't she supposed to be smart? She had thought this lunch would have served her more purpose after Chouji told her what had happened the night before.

"Yeah, he does." Seriously, it was obvious to everyone else.

"First, Naruto-kun, and now you, Ino-chan. Why are you all trying to lie about Kiba-kun's feelings. He would have said something by now."

Ino had to clear her schedule for the rest of the day. She would have to smack her head against a wall for quite a while once this was over.

"It should be obvious if even that idiot can tell! Seriously, Hinata. I mean I'm a Yamanaka, I can read minds. Trust me on this. If Naruto and me are agreeing on the same thing then it should ring some bells in that head of yours!."

Hinata looked down at her plate and twiddled her fingers together, trying her best to avoid the conversation. She had thought that Ino only wanted to have a girls' day out. Evidently, she had been wrong.

"Hellooooooo, Hinata?" Ino leaned back in her chair. An idea came to her head. She looked at the purple-haired kunoichi sitting across from her and smirked her evil grin. "So does this mean I can tap that?"

Hinata's head shot up, bright red, at the inappropriate comment that her friend had just made. "Ino, Ino-chan! You can- you can't say that in... you can't say that in public."

Ino shrugged, the faint curves of a smirk at the corners of her mouth. "That didn't answer my question. I mean he is one fine piece of man meat." She stopped for a second to lean in towards Hinata. "Do you think he licks and bites like a puppy?"

Hinata was down for the count.

"KIBAAAAAAAA!"

Dear lord this was not happening.

"What is it Ino?"

Ino skipped over to Kiba and hopped in front of him. "Well, you see, I was having lunch with Hinata and she just passed out and I'm too weak to carry her home. Maybe if some big, ol' burly man carried her home she would come to admire the gesture very much."

Kiba looked at Ino. "What?"

Ino sighed and then looked up with a twinkle in her eyes. "This might help actually. She pulled out a kunai. Kiba's eyes widened in fear.

He was going to kill that woman. He was going to cut off all of her hair and make her choke on it. After her explanation, Kiba had decided on this. First off, she had made lewd comments about him to Hinata. Secondly, she had told her that she knew Kiba had a crush on her due to mind reading. Third, she had left Hinata unconscious in a restaurant. And finally, she had cut off his shirt and made holes in his jeans and stole his headband making his hair fall down. He never would have expected her to use Shikamaru. However, killing Ino would have to wait for later, he had to go get Hinata.

"Hey, Ino!"

Ino looked up to see Sakura and Shino walking towards her. Now that wasn't an everyday combination.

"What's up, Sakura?"

"Well, I took Kiba out last night after flirting with him in front of Hinata and ran into Shino here. Apparently he has been spying on us throughout this entire mission. Long story short though, we came up with a plan.

Ino gigged. "Don't worry. I got it covered."

Sakura and Shino looked at Ino, both of them puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Ino looked up at the two with an evil glint in her eye with a smirk to match. "I have it all planned out. Don't worry."

Her words had the exact opposite effect on her two fellow ninjas.

Kiba sighed for the umpteenth time. Evidently the owner of the restaurant that Ino and Hinata had had lunch did not care too much for basically naked teens coming into his restaurant to pick-up girls who had passed out. He might even be on a sex offenders list after the scene he had caused. Running past her house also might not have had been the best idea either, but damn that owner was persistent. He had gotten as far as the forest when he felt Hinata stir.

"Mmmmm..."

Kiba couldn't help but smile at the sound as she nuzzled her head against his chest unconsciously. He sat her down in the shade under a tree. He walked over to the river and sat down. Damn that Ino. Seriously, leaving Hinata alone like that. He sighed. Today was just sucking. And it was hot too. Really hot. It didn't feel like this earlier. He looked at the lake. That might do just fine. Just dunk his face in it really quick.

Hinata began waking up. It was hot out but it wasn't sunny. Was it night already? She opened her eyes and saw that it was actually still daytime and that she was under a tree. Hadn't she fainted at a restaurant? She sat up to survey her surroundings. She was outside and by herself. Wait, no she wasn't. There was someone sitting by the river. They had submerged their entire head in the river. Upon closer inspection it was a guy. A very good-looking guy if their back was any indication.

The guy began to retrieve his head from the water. She watched as his bronzed back muscles stretched to return their owner to an upright position. Before sitting all the way up though, the boy seemed to decide that he wanted a quick dip, as he rolled forward into the river. Hinata couldn't tear her eyes off of the sight of the boy swimming. If only she could see the handsome boy's face. Maybe she could take a quick peek. She mulled over it and decided she was going to use her Byakugan, but before she could do so, she saw a toned arm come out of the water. She was mesmerized by the spiky mop of dark brown hair as the body that followed has water trickling down it. And then she saw the smile when he brought his arm up to wipe his hair out of his face. Only one person had canines like that with those red triangles on his cheeks. She couldn't believe it. She covered her now red face. Had she really just thought that Kiba, her teammate Kiba, was hot.

Kiba blinked in surprise. "Oh, Hinata, you're awake?"

He was not, however, expecting a gentle fist strike to the chest that caused him to fall to the ground. He blinked in confusion as he saw Hinata dashing off towards town.
