Konohamaru really should not have been surprised by any strange things that happened around Konoha; it was a ninja city, after all. And ninja were strange. But Konohamaru was more than a little surprised when he was detained outside Ichiraku's by the last person he would expect.
"So," Kiba said, sidling up to him. "A little birdie told me that you're going on a date with Hanabi-chan."
Konohamaru felt his jaw drop slightly. "Huh?" Talk about random…
Kiba chuckled nervously. "You guys are going on a date, aren't you?" he asked, suddenly very serious.
Konhamaru shook his head slightly. "Not that I'm aware of..."
Kiba chewed on his bottom lip. "Hm... I wonder what I did to make her mad... let's hope she doesn't ask me what I'm apologising for like last time..." he muttered to himself.
Konohamaru raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"
"Hinata told me that you, and Hanabi were going on a date," he said, smiling sheepishly. "She told me to give you 'advice'-- whatever that meant." He shrugged.
Konohamaru shrugged too. "Oh. Well, we're just sparring, so it's not a date." Kiba was beginning to leave when Konohamaru got an idea. "But you could give me advice, if you want," he said, making no effort to hide the excitement in his voice.
"Oh...?" Kiba looked dubious.
Konohamaru nodded. "You're in Hinata's team." Kiba gave him a 'no duh' look, but he ignored it. "How does the Byakugan work, exactly?"
Kiba smiled mischievously, and walked inside Ichiraku's. "We better sit down," he called, "this'll take a while."

Kiba's kind of whipped. I tried writing a 'date' scene for Konohamaru, and Hanabi now, but I'll do it later... Thanks for reading; I'd be much obliged if you told me what you thought. And If you have any ideas, or requests, I would love to fit them in (because as you can see this has no discernable plot…)
