Chapter 7
The day had started out sunny and warm. Hinata was getting ready for the big day of the Talent Show. The old Hinata would have never imagined herself participating on this event with the people she was participating with.
She was doing the finishing touches on her hair when she heard someone knock on her window. She turned around to find Kiba gripping a branch for his dear life. "Kiba?"
She quickly made her way to the window and helped him in. "Kiba, what are you doing here?" She asked as she helped him stand.
"I needed to talk to you about something" he said.
"Um… sure but couldn't you just wait for me to get to school?" I asked.
"No… It had to be now" He said waving his hand.
"OK? Then tell me Kiba"
"Ok… Well, it all started with me walking down the hallways yesterday. I was trading my notebooks when I heard some girls whispering about me" Kiba said as he sat himself down in the floor. "One of them commented that she thought I was cute because I had that rebel yet adorable look on me" Kiba said suddenly trembling.
"So? Isn't that I good thing?"
"I'm not finished Hinata" Kiba sigh. "Then her friend told not to look into it because I was GAY" Kiba yelled making Hinata stared at him, no words coming from his mouth. "Hina, The whole school thinks I'm gay and I know they've got a reason. I mean my only girl friends are Sakura and Ino and Ino was with Shikamaru and Sasuke will totally kill me if I even think of Sakura in other way that is not a friend" Kiba gulped. Hinata face started growing hotter as she watched him get to the point.
"Kiba? Why are you telling me this?" She asked.
"Well… Hinata you're the only single girl I know" Kiba said.
"but… I" Hinata stopped herself and looked down at her hands. "Naruto" She whispered.
"I know you and Naruto have a thing but he's weird… in fact this could help you" Kiba said making her look at him, urging him to go on. "You see we could be in a fake relationship. Me move the rumor about me… you to make Naruto notice he cannot let go of his soul mate" He said.
"Soul mate?" She asked, Kiba chuckled as he stood and walked over to where Hinata stood.
"Hinata you understand him more than we could ever" Kiba said, setting his hand on her shoulder. "You're his life" He said.
"Fine… I'll do it" She said firmly.
"THANK YOU HINA!" Kiba jumped with Glee and embraced her in a crushing hug. Hinata laughed along him, but deep inside she wondered if it was the right thing.
Kiba the let go of her and smiled. "Really Hina, thank you" He said.
"You welcome Kiba" She said tilting her head while smiling.
"So… wanna walk to school?" Kiba asked, shrugged.
"Sure, just go down the window and I'll meet you outside in a sec" Hinata said. She ran to the bathroom as Kiba headed toward the window. She gave the finishing touches on her make up and ran to the kitchen where she picked her apple, kissed her dad goodbye and ran out the door.
She quickly found Kiba leaning against a tree, trying too hard to be cool. A thing hard to do when he had leaf all over her brown hair. "Um Kiba, you might wanna take these off?" She laughed as she picked one green leaf from his hair.
"Gah!" Kiba yelled shaking his head, making every leaf fall from his hair. "Are they gone?" He asked.
"All gone" She laughed. He laughed along, as they started walking.
"Kiba" Hinata said after a few moments of silence. "Why did you say Ino WAS with Shikamaru?"
Kiba shifted uncomfortably but sigh. "Don't you know Hina. They got in to a really big fight and broke up" Kiba said softly. A gasped was heard from Hinata's lips, it was hard for her to even imagine Ino with Shikamaru, for all she knew they were the most happy people in the whole school.
"What happened?"
"Temari happened" Kiba growled. "Shikamaru's ex girlfriend. She's a total stalker and Shikamaru insist to keep her as a friend… think Ino got her limit"
"Poor Ino" Hinata whispered.
"Poor both of them, they're both very stubborn, so they won't show any hurt to each other but inside and even when the other is away they are a complete mess"
Hinata drifted into deep thoughts and didn't notice they had gotten to school until Kiba stopped her. "Grab my hand" Kiba said.
"What?"
"You have to act like my girlfriend so grab my hand!" Kiba said as she shoved his hand with hers. Hinata felt herself grew hotter as all eyes followed them as they walked through the halls.
Kiba busted through the doors of the theater, where Sakura and Sasuke were. Sakura quickly looked up from Sasuke naked chest and blushed when she saw them. Hinata knew she had to ask later. "what's going on here?" Kiba asked as he dragged Hinata to the front.
"Hn. None of your business" Sasuke softly said as he slipped he's shirt on. Hinata notice the bandages covering Sasuke torso right before he fix his shirt, another thing she would have to ask Sakura later. Hinata watched as Sakura closed a small box of first aid kit and put it away.
"Hinata, come with me" Sakura said as she jumped of the stage making her nod. Sakura turned around, looking right at Sasuke. "Can you take care of the sound?" She asked softly.
Sasuke nodded and Sakura and Hinata left.
"Why were you holding hands with Kiba?" Sakura said as soon as they stepped out of the auditorium.
"It's nothing" Hinata blushed; she was not strong enough to tell Sakura it was to help Kiba and somehow make Naruto understand. "Why are we talking with Ino?"
"I convinced her last night to preform with us, she doesn't want to be alone" Sakura explained and walked the rest of the way in silence.
They found Ino waiting for them beside her locker. "Come on, let's get this started" Ino said trying to disguise her voice with happiness but it was not possible.
After they had all gotten ready they went back stage to make sure it was all good. "The place is full" Kiba said nervously.
"We can do this" Sakura said with a smiled. She looked up to find Naruto sitting in a corner, looking both annoyed and bored. "Sure you don't want to Naruto?"
"No" he said.
"Fines then" Sakura shrugged. Everyone went to their places as the light went dim and stage began to fill with white smoke. Sakura looked at Tenten and nod, giving her the signal to start. Tenten smiled brightly and pushed the play button.
The room was instantly filled with music, and Hinata heart started to pound loud.
Sasuke walked to the center of the stage while the place was still dark, the rest stood behind him.
Sasuke: Can
Then a bright light hit Sasuke's face and then the rest. All boys were wearing a black shrit and pants and a red tie white the girls all had a dark black dress.
All: anybody find me somebody to love?
Sasuke quickly stepped back and Hinata walked at front along with Kiba, both smiling brightly.
Hinata: Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Kiba: Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
Hinata: I have spent all my years in believing you
but I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Kiba: Somebody, somebody

Kiba: somebody to love?
Sasuke: I work hard every day of my life
Hinata and Sasuke: I work till I ache my bones
Sasuke: At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -

Kiba: Everyday - I try and I try and I try –
Hinata: But everybody wants to put me down

All: Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Kiba: Oh Lord

All: Can anybody find me
Hinata: somebody to love?
Kiba: Got no feel, I got no rhythm

Kiba and Hinata: Find me somebody to love
The crowd exploded in applause making them all grin. All girls looked down while the boys walked back stage. Hinata took a deep breath and bit her lips waiting for the music to start. Suddenly the lights trued yellow and white and the background turned bright.
The music started off slowly as they all lifted their heads. Hinata grinded and started to move.
Hinata: Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
Hinata (GIRLS): You're everything I need and more (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
GIRLS: And don't it feel good!
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
I can see your halo halo halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
And don't it feel good!
I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I'm sure
And I just cant wait till the day when you knock on my door
Hinata: Oh now now!
GIRLS: I'm walking on sunshine, wooah!
I'm walking on sunshine, wooah!
I'm walking on sunshine, wooah ohoh!
And don't it feel good!
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hinata: I can see your halo
HALO!
