Ch. 47

"When will you tell him?"

"Well I'm sure he's still awake right now. It's like 9 pm" I answered Sasuke.

I had just finished spending the most amazing day with Hinata. She kissed me and best of all, she told me she remembered who I was. We stayed a bit longer at the field of flowers talking about one another and about what we knew. We laughed, she cried from happiness and I kissed her goodbye before I opened the door for her to get out and watched her go inside.

I just finished telling Sasuke and Sakura everything at Sakura's house. She set out popcorn and sodas out for everyone.

"All I'm going to say is that it won't be easy to break it to him when you tell him that you wanna ask her out." Said Sakura opening her 7up can. "He's really protective over her and Hanabi. I mean yeah they're cousins and all but he honestly sees them as his sisters."

"I understand that part a lot. If anything there was a time where I told him I had feelings for her."

Sasuke laughed. "HA! I so remember that day. We were both at Hinata's house when she only remembered me at the time and he wanted me to call you over so he could talk to you."

"What did he tell you?" Asked Sakura.

I sighed, "Man he said a lot. He talked about how he loves Hinata very much and that in the condition she's in we should all try our best to help her out. I told him that we would and then I told him how much she means to me and how i love her."

"He lost his shit didn't he? He went ape shit on Gaara when Hinata and him started dating." grinned Sasuke.

"Yeah to be honest he wasn't all that thrilled, he did what any other brother did that cared alot for his sisters. He did the classic, 'I'll kill you if you hurt her' type shit and got all up in my space and you know I showed respect and agreed to his rules. He calmed down, but wasn't happy. I could only imagine how he'll be when I tell him tonight."

"Just show him how super serious you are about her. Show him that she's not going to be hurt in any way. With all that's happened within the past month and few weeks, that's all he really cares about. That she's safe"

I agreed with Sakura's words. I really have to show him how dead serious I am. I would definitely never hurt her.

I sent Neji a text telling him I was at Sakura's and that if he was awake, then id very much appreciate to talk to him.

Sasuke nudged me playfully. "Don't show fear. I mean you and I are a little bigger than him, but this dude's one crazy scary ass fucker."

My phone buzzed and it was Neji's response.

"What did he say?" Both Sasuke and Sakura asked at the same time.

I opened up his message. "He's asking me what about and where is that I want to talk to him at."

"I say you guys should do it out in front of my house. That way if Neji goes ham, Sasuke and I could help calm him down." Sakura pointed out at her couch by her door. "Me and Sasuke can sit there while you guys talk."

I smiled at Sakura, "You just want in on what's going on!"

"We'll find out eventually! Might as well just have front row seats to the show"

"You guys have to be quiet though."

"No worries, just tell him Sasuke and I are watching a movie on my laptop upstairs in my room." She said bringing the sodas and popcorn to the couch.

Look at this girl thinking this is a damn movie that's about to happen. Bringing her snacks and drinks to sit on the couch to listen in our conversation.

I shook my head and texted Neji to just meet me in front of Sakura's house right now.

He replied within seconds telling me that he was on his way.

"He's coming!" I said.

"Go outside and meet him out front. Don't let him knock." Said Sasuke grabbing my wrist leading me to the door.

"No lie you guys but im nervous as hell right now. I just dealt with his scary ass literally yesterday about the whole Hanabi finding me in Hinata's room. Now I gotta let this dude know that I wanna date his cousin?!" I exclaimed.

"Hey man this was your idea! It's best if you tell him now rather than him seeing you wanting to kiss her at school or some shit."

"We'll literally be right here listening if anything goes wrong." Said Sakura assuringly.

I took a deep breath and nodded in response. Sasuke opened the door for me letting me out onto Sakura's front porch. As soon as he closed the door, her lights from inside turned off making it seem as if no one was inside.

I sat down on her steps and wondered about what I'd say to him. I mean its obvious what i AM gonna say, I just know I'll probably be too nervous to tell him. It was easy as hell to tell her mom that one day, but Neji? Neji's just so uptight and his eyes pierce through the windows of my damn freaking soul and-

"Naruto?"

I almost gasped out loud as Neji was making his way towards me.

I stood up.

"Hey Neji. I'm glad you were able to come out for a bit."

He shrugged. "It looked like it was important for me to come. Where's Sasuke and Sakura? I saw Itachi's car with Sasuke inside passing by my house to get to hers earlier."

"Oh!", I looked up at Sakura's window which had her light on and pointed. "We were all watching a movie on her laptop and I came down stairs to come out and talk to you. They're still up there watching it."

Neji's hands were crossed and he made his way to sit down on the steps.

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "So what do you need to talk to me about?"

I hesitated & made my way on to sit on the steps too.

It was dark outside, the moon was out and the crickets sang and my heart was pounding.

I decided that it was now or never.

I took a deep breath.

"Neji... we've known eachother for like two months now and I really see you as a close friend of mine.. I'm totally hoping you see me the same way as well or at least as cool friends. These past few months have definitely been rocky and filled with many problems. However, they were also filled with good moments and one of them was me getting to know you, Hinata, and the rest of your family. I admire you all so much. I'd never hurt or do anything wrong to any of you.

Neji... I really have strong feelings for your cousin- Now, now, now. Before you say anything I just want to say that I have never met anyone as amazing as your sister. I know you see her as that. As your sister. I respect that one hundred and fifty percent. Today and just like many other times I asked you if I could take Hinata out after school. I Honestly asked you before I asked her. But I did it because I know how much you love her and care about her. If anything, after all thats happened I know yours and your mom's main concern is that she's safe and gets better soon. I know I failed during that time in keeping her safe when I was right behind her on the ladder and the time where Kiba let out a kick on her but please. I swear on my life that she'll never be in danger or harmed ever again. Not only did her injuries cause us pain, but i saw how it destroyed you and your family. I will never let her get hurt in anyway again. Today I asked you if I could take her out and well tonight... I wanted to ask you if I could have the chance in dating your cousin Hinata."

My heart was still thumping in my chest. His arms were still crossed and that eyebrow was still raised.

Neji glanced down at his shoes and let out a sigh.

"Look Naruto, I know how much you like her. I know how much you care. I also know how you've helped her along the way along with everyone else's cooperation. But I don't need her getting hurt again-"

"I'm telling you she wont! I'd never do anything like that!"

"I'm not only talking about physically. I also mean emotionally. She's been hurt by that pathetic ass loser far too many times!"

"What ever makes you think I'd ever be like him! I never lacked in showing respect towards her or anyone! Or so much as have said or have done anything close to what he's done! I'm throwing her a big ass party dude!" I exclaimed.

"Oh so because you're spending loads of money justifies your feelings for her!" He frowned.

"Oh my God! Neji please! Hear yourself man! I'm in love with your cousin! I love her! I really want to be with her. Here I am asking you before I ask her once again. It's the one thing I want in this world aside from your okay in me asking her out. Please!"

Neji's brow went back to normal and he looked out onto the sky and closed his eyes.

"If I ever find out you hurt her or if i so much as see her coming home with a frown on her face because of you, I'll be the one asking you to come out and talk." He said reopening his eyes to look at me.

I know he meant to be serious but the biggest smile formed on my face.

"Thank you so much Neji. I promise not to let you down." I said.

He stood up and stepped down from the stairs of Sakura's porch and asked. "When do you plan on asking her?"

"The day of her party."

He nodded and began to walk back home. "See you tomorrow."

As soon as he was no longer in sight, the front door swung open and Sakura and Sasuke tackled me with hugs.

"HE SAID YES!" Beamed Sakura letting go and jumping.

"I know!" I laughed. "Sasuke you can let go now"

"Shut up you bitch I'm trying to show my love and support on your happiness through this once in a lifetime hug your bitchass is getting."

We all laughed and he finally let go.

X.X.X

I finished putting my notebooks in my bag and checked my phone and responded to Naruto's good morning text with a bunch of red hearts.

I smiled and replied the same except with kissy faces.

My heart fluttered at the thought of seeing him today at school.

I sighed deeply and my smile remained.

I went down stairs to join my family in our daily intake of cereal each morning.

"Morning everyone." I said grabbing Cheerios and pouring it in a bowl.

"You seem happy." Said Neji in between his chewing.

"Oh do I?" I laughed. "Guess I woke up on the right side of the bed." I poured the milk and made my way to the table with Neji and Hanabi.

"Well hurry up" he said getting up with his bowl. "We're leaving in 10 minutes."

After I finished, we hurried Hanabi off to go get her backpack and the 3 of us made our way to the car. We dropped Hanabi off first and the car radio was finally left to us. I think the best part about... no im sorry, the ONLY thing that's good and non annoying about riding with Neji is that we both like the same music so arguements on who to play what was really non existing.

"Hinata can I ask you something?"

I glanced over at Neji who had his eyes on the rode.

I lowered the volume and smiled at him. "Go for it!"

"I'm not sugar coating anything, I think by now you know how that's not my style. I want to know what your thoughts are on Naruto. If that doesn't make it clear, then I'd like to know if you like the guy or not." He said finally taking a look at me for an answer once we were 40 feet or so across our school stopped by a red light.

Oh shit...

"Umm do you mean as in-"

"Yes Hinata as in, do you have feelings for him. Do you like, like him?"

I decided I wasnt gonna sugar coat anything either. If I want to be around Naruto without having Neji throw some hissy fit, then i'd rather tell him how I feel.

"Well," I began. "Yeah... I do have feelings for him. He's sweet and really kind. Every time we hang out, there's not a time where I feel uncomfortable or anything negative of the sort. I feel happy. Yes.. I really really like him."

He nodded at my answer as we made our way into the parking lot.

Once we parked it was silent for a few seconds before he finally asked, "Are you sure about how you feel?"

"Yes." I nodded. "Why are you asking?"

Neji paused for a moment then shrugged.

"Well you guys do hang out alot. I notice how he treats you and how he is around you. It's pretty obvious as to how feels about you, I just wanted to ask you to see if you're sure because of your-"

"Yes I know Neji," I said cutting him off. "Because of my injury. My memory loss. But yesterday during my time with him, something happened. I remembered who he was and is."

"Y-you remembered someone else?!" Smiled Neji.

I smiled too and gave him a nod.

He reached over and gave me a hug. "I'm glad you're making progress." He said.

"Me too." I said as we let go. "But overall to answer your question, yes I do have feelings for him and yes I'm very sure."

All he did was nod & kept his tough face he likes to put on when he's trying to be serious. I know he cares about me which is why he asks and I do appreciate that.

We walked up the stairs together and we said goodbye and separated to go to our lockers.

As I was coming close to mine I noticed Sasuke and Naruto talking besides my locker. Sasuke noticed me walking towards them and smiled, said something to Naruto and waved at me as he walked away.

Naruto turned his head slightly to I guess see what made Sasuke walk away.

I could feel my face naturally forming a smile as he fully turned himself around and spread his arms out for a hug.

"Good morning!" I said pouncing into his arms.

"Good morning beautiful!" He laughed embracing me.

He smiled down at me & kissed my forehead and rubbed his nose with mine.

"Should we get to class?" He asked letting go.

I nodded. "I just need to grab my History book and we'll be on our way."

Naruto stepped aside and leaned against the locker beside mine smiling and waiting.

As I opened my locker to grab my book, I noticed another envelope to who I could only expect was from Kiba again.

"Is something wrong Hinata?" He asked running his fingers through my hair.

I guess he noticed how uneasy I got just now.

"No. Not at all." I replied as I put the envelope inside my text book before taking it out of my locker. "Just remembered I forgot my ear buds at home." I closed my locker and held my book firmly and smiled at him. "Lets go."

We got to Iruka's and sat down. I waited for him to finish giving the schools daily announcements and finally told us to get to work.

I knew Sai or someone was bound to start talking to me so I tried to appear busy. I opened my History book on a page the letter wasn't in and grabbed my notebook and pen to make it seem like I was actually busy.

I looked ahead and saw Sai actually doing work, Naruto was also and gave me a small smile catching me looking at him, Choji was on the other side of the room so I didn't really have to worry about him.

We were already 15 minutes into Homeroom and everyone was mostly quiet and doing their own thing.

Right now was the perfect opportunity to read what was inside the envelope.

I opened my text book to the page it was on and carefully took it out. It was folded in a small square and I began to unfold its shape.

He wrote alot.

Hinata,

I know you must've read my first letter and from the looks of it I'm being ignored. I want to personally come up to you and apologize but it seems like everyones on the lookout for me if I ever get near. I know my chances of getting my friends back is a zero percent chance and again, I don't blame any of you. I just want to make things right again and if I can't do that then I at least want to apologize to you personally. I just ask for 10 minutes of your time. Nothing more. We can meet up. I just have a few things I'd like to say. If you agree, I'll meet you at the park that's not too far from your house? After school around 4pm by the swings. I swear it's just gonna be 10 minutes. I'll leave around 4:30pm if you don't show. I just want to at least know I tried.

Thanks again for reading.

- Kiba.

I reread his letter one more time and put it back in the envelope and away inside my backpack.

I didn't know what to do. I mean surely he doesn't deserve any type of forgiveness even though he does seem really sorry. We've all been friends with him for years, but that shouldn't mean that we have to put up with someone who's being a terrible friend. I too have some things I'd like to say so with that being said, I'm going to agree to see him. But not alone.

X.X.X.X

"Are you out of your mind?!" Exclaimed Gaara slamming his locker.

"Well I mean I did kinda lose part of my brain during that fall sooo, Yeah I kind of am." I said shrugging.

Gaara took a deep breath and frowned. "I'm not going with you and you sure as hell shouldn't even have the nerve to think about showing up to see what bullshit he has to say!"

"Gaara I'm asking you as my best friend if you'd please accompany me! I really want you there. If anything, you don't even have to sit with me and hear him. There's three tables by the swings, you can sit a table or two away from us. This whole him comming up to us and letter sending has to end!" I said waving the envelope in front of him. "He clearly isn't getting the memo towards everyone's silent treatment which means that no one wants anything to do with him, so he needs to hear it from me! I'm the one who needs to tell him because apparently Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Naruto and even you couldn't get through him the other day. So please. Can you please come with me?"

Gaara still remained looking upset and had his arms folded.

"Who else knows about this letter you got from him this morning?" He asked raising his brow.

I sighed and put my hands on his shoulder. "Just you. I don't want anyone getting involved. I haven't even told Sakura."

"Why didn't you ask Naruto?"

"I couldn't. He hates him and hate is blinding. He wouldn't let me near him if i told him. In fact i bet he'd look for Kiba himself and knock his lights out for sending me a piece of paper and slipping it into my locker."

"Well I've noticed you and Naruto hanging alot more after school, what if he wants to hang today? What excuse are you gonna use?"

That was a good one. I know that he's bound to ask to spend after school with me again ever since yesterdays kiss. But I really want to get Kiba's little confrontation out of the way.

"I'll figure something out." I said. "So what do you say?... Will you come with me?"

Gaara rolled his eyes and then looked at me.

"Of course I will."

I hugged and thanked him and agreed to meet him at his car after class.

I made my way into Orochimaru's art class and saw Naruto's smile welcoming me as I walked in.

"Have you been feeling alright? You seem a little off today." He said pulling my chair back for me to sit.

How sweet.. OH now could be a good time to mention something to get out of any possible plans he might have.

I scooted in and rested my head on the palm of my hand. "Well I've just been worried about Gaara."

"Oh man, what's wrong?"

"He's kind of been depressed lately and he asked me and Temari if we can visit him later on to have someone to talk to." I said hopefully sounding just as concerned as he is.

"Why's he depressed? Is it because of the other day when he got hit?" He asked.

Well that can be an excuse.

"I mean i personally think it's because of that but he didn't want to talk about it at school."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

I placed my hand on top of his and smiled. "You can agree to see me after Im done visiting Gaara?"

He smiled too and turned his hand over to grab mine. "I can agree to that."

Naruto's Pov.

I will admit. I was hoping we'd be a little more cuter with one another. From time to time I glanced over at her as she worked on drawing eyes for Orochimaru's "Favorite part of the human face" assignment.

She seemed so concentrated and into her own world while I was over here kind of a little down hoping that things were gonna get better.

Yeah we kissed... holy shit we kissed! But it's as

if we never did because she's been acting weird since morning while we walked to Homeroom and I'm over here excited like some 6 year old who got offered a bag of candy on how we kissed and how I'd hope it'd mean that we would deepen our attitude and actions towards each other. But then again what if she just doesn't want to rush anything? Yes, yesterday was beyond amazing. I mean I fangirled to Sakura and Sasuke right after I dropped her off for crying out loud, but I mean yeah... I guess I shouldn't be the one expecting it all to be different if she seems like she wants to take it slow.

Gosh what the hell is wrong with me?! I still haven't even asked her out myself and I'm over here wondering why is there not much change between us! I asked the girls mom and cousin for their approval but here I am bitching without realizing that I haven't even popped the question!

GOSH!

"Whoa are you okay?"

"What-huh?"

I looked over at Hinata who was staring at my hand in concern.

"You look like you want to break that pencil." She whispered reaching to take it out of my hand.

She placed it on the desk and held my hand.

"Is everything okay?"

She was the definition of gentle.

The way her hand felt holding mine and her eyes staring into mine washing out all the excessive thoughts in my head made me just want to hold her to be sure that yesterday was real and that I'd never lose her remembrance of me again.

But not here. And not now. I could only stare back and feel the warmth in our hands and answer back.

"I just wish it were after school so you could get things out of the way and I can finally see you."

Her lips turned into a smile and she brought up our hands and kissed my knuckles.

"Just don't stare at the clock and don't focus on the time." She said. "That way the day goes by faster and we can slow it down when we finally see each other."

I smiled back and nodded feeling impatient now as I quickley glanced at the clock. "You're right." I said.

Hinata's Pov.

School was going by quickly and my nerves were starting to get the best of me as the last class of the day was in session and there was only 15 minutes left before school was over.

My phone buzzed and it was Gaara.

Gaara: I'll meet you in my car. I'm parked by the football field where the flag is at.

Hinata: Forsure.

Gaara: I can't believe I'm agreeing to go with you. Did Naruto try and hang out today?

Hinata: I'm thankful you are. Yeah he kinda did. I told him you were bummed about something & that Temari and I were coming over to talk. I'm seeing him after we see Kiba.

Gaara: Wtf! Temari's hanging out with Shikamaru and Ino today. Why didnt you tell me at lunch about this! No wonder at the lunch line Naruto told me that if I ever need anything, he'd help in anyway. I was confused as hell but thanked him anyway.

Hinata: Well I forgot im sorry! ugh i should give her a heads up just in case if he asks. But hey, at least he cares.

Gaara: I beat you to it. I told her that if Naruto ever asks anything in relation towards me, to just roll with it. You gotta update me on these things. You had all day.

Hinata: Dude I'm sorry. I've been so caught up with coming up with what I'd say to him! Im sorry :(

Gaara: Its cool. Just meet me at the van as soon as you can.

I sighed and took a deep breath. I looked up at the clock and the bell began to ring.

I shoved my things into my bag and zoomed out the door. I walked quickly passed people and headed to my locker and saw Naruto waiting by there. Just seeing him smiling at me as I started getting closer made me feel guilty that I was going to see someone he despised behind his back and lie to his face about it. But it's not like I'd be doing anything wrong! I'm doing this so Kiba could finally back off. I smiled back and he brought me in close for a hug.

"Just wanted to get a goodbye hug before you go." He said squeezing me a little.

"It won't be for long I promise. Remember, just don't focus on the time and things will go by quick." I said as he let go.

His hands slid down my waist and he looked into my eyes with that smile still on his face. "You have no idea how crazy I am about you."

And I was crazy about him too. He made hundreds of butterflies swarm in my stomach from his hands rubbing my hips a bit.

I tiptoed and wrapped my hands around his neck and brought his face closer to mine.

"I'll see you soon." I said. I brought his lips to touch mine and we began to kiss before I slowly began to pull away.

He looked pained the second I stopped as I gave him a quick hug and began walking away.

I had messaged Neji and told him not to wait up for me. That I'd be hanging out with Gaara after class. Just a little fyi so he wouldn't worry.

I exited out of the library that led to the other side of the parking lot to avoid Sakura and the rest of my friends. I really just wanted to get to Gaara's car and get this whole Kiba thing over with.

I finally made my way towards the football field and saw Gaara in his car fiddling with his phone.

I walked faster and got to the passengers side.

"Hey!"

"Jesus, you scared me!" Jumped Gaara almost dropping his phone.

"Sorry." I laughed opening the door.

"Ready to get this show on the road?" He sighed once i closed the door.

I nodded and put on my seat belt once he began to start the car.

Gaara began to back out slowly. "Did you see anyone before coming out?"

"Yeah. Naruto was at my locker. I didn't even have time to put my Algebra book in there. He just seemed a little bummed and I tried cheering him up but realized I had to hurry to meet up with you."

"He shouldn't be. You're seeing him right after this like you said, right?"

"Yeah! I told him too."

"Well," Shrugged Gaara. "Lets handle this first. I bet he's gonna be real thrilled to see me after punching me."

I frowned. "Geez Gaara. First Neji then Kiba."

"Right!?" He exclaimed as we waited for people to cross so we could exit the school parking lot. "My face is a fist magnet. I think Neji's did more damage considering the fact that I bled and couldn't breath from my left nostril for about three days."

"I'm still really sorry about that." I said rubbing his shoulder.

He shrugged again. "It's fine and over with. Neji had a good reason. Kiba only punched me because I said some truth in his face. Bitches can't stand the truth and love to get offended when they hear it."

He laughed as we finally got on the road.

"I bet he thinks you were willing to just go by yourself to see him."

"I wouldn't doubt it." I said. "Just because we're meeting up at the park close to my house doesn't mean i'd go alone. Nuhuh, not a chance."

The drive to my house was 15 minutes long but this traffic was not helping.

I looked at the time on Gaara's radio. 3:35pm

We had time I guess.

As we waited for the cars to move, Gaara began asking me what my after school hangouts with Naruto would consist of.

So I told him everything. Including how I remembered Naruto and how we kissed.

Gaara's eye brows raised and his jaw slightly dropped... but then he frowned and looked a little concerned.

He glanced over at me. "You really like him dont you?"

"Yes." I answered. "... Does it kind of bother you?"

"Why would it?"

"Well.. I kind of remembered how we used to date and how we were really into eachother."

"Hinata we're better off as how we are now then when we were as a couple. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what we had but I enjoy it even more as being friends. But what's even better is that we're best friends. I wouldn't have it and other way." He smiled placing his hand on top of mine. "I'm just worried. I know Naruto's a great guy, I really do. I'm just worried about any drama that can come your guy's way."

I squeezed his hand. "Well that's why I brought you with me. To end it."

We finally arrived a block away from my house and made our way into the parking area of the park. Gaara turned off his car once we found a spot and looked at me.

"Ready?"

I nodded in response.

"Let's go then."

We both got out of the car and I took my phone out of my pocket.

4:05pm

"Do you think he's here?" He asked standing next to me.

I put my phone away and took a deep breath.

"He has to. He sent me two letters in my locker insisting to talk. He should be here. Let's go to the swing sets. He said he'd meet me there."

And so we began to walk. My nerves were building up again as I knew that the swings weren't far at all and that I'd soon have to face someone who became so disgusting to me. How can someone who has been friends with this group for a long time, screw it all up with his evil intentions? Everyone proved to give genuine friendship but what about him?

leading me on just so he could have his way with me?!

"Hinata, he's right over there." whispered Gaara.

I followed where his fingers were pointing and saw Kiba's back facing us as he was sitting down on one of the picnic tables by the swings.

I was angry and knew what I had to say.

We made our way towards him. The sound of our approaching footsteps made him turn around.

His eyes widened as he looked at the both of us. He looked over at me and spoke in a shakey voice.

"Y-you're here."

Gaara's face turned serious and I felt that mine had done the same.

"I hope you don't mind that I brought Gaara with me. I didn't plan on coming alone to meet up with you." I said in a stern voice.

Kiba stood up and cleared his throat and looked at Gaara. "I don't mind" He took a step towards him. "Gaara, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I really didn't me-"

"Kiba save it! I didn't come hear to listen to your apology. I made up my mind towards how I feel about you already. I came here to accompany Hinata, but most importantly to make sure you don't do anything idiotic again." Gaara glared at Kiba and pointed to the left. "I'll be sitting over there while the both of you talk."

I was truly thankful at that point that it was Gaara who was here with me. The rest of the boys would have gotten physical the second I would've mentioned Kiba's name and well Sakura and the rest would have freaked.

Kiba and I watched Gaara walk over and sit down.

I broke the small silence and walked passed him to sit down.

"Well you said ten minutes. Let's get to it."

Kiba hesitated and walked over and sat in front of me. He looked tense and began fiddling with a leaf between his fingers as he looked at me with eyes that did honestly read "Im sorry!"

"Look Hinata," He began. "Im honestly having trouble with words right now and to be honest with you, It's mainly because I had no idea that you really gonna come. No words can describe how my actions were so wrong and i-"

"You don't have any words?" I scoffed. "Not a problem, I got plenty of words to describe towards what the fuck you did. Let's start off with fake, or how about disgusting? Maybe evil. And definitely fucking horrible. You were a fake friend to not only Gaara, Sasuke, Temari, and the rest, but you were fake towards me. You're disgusting perversion towards girls included me into your idiot fantasy. Me! Someone who was your friend. You knew how i felt about you and you used it as a way to play with my emotions so I'd give it to you?! What kind of evil wrong minded mother fucker are you!? I was your friend! We all had your back! Loved and cared for you! And you go on with making fun of Naruto's feelings towards me only because you wanted me to just and only focus my feelings on you! All so you could try and FUCK ME!?" I shouted.

"Hinata I-"

"I'm not fucking done yet!" I snapped cutting him off. "Lets not forget how you came up to Sakura and I that one day outside of the supermarket and fucking FORCED a kiss out of me! Your form of apologies towards the guys were literal shit! Why the fuck would you try and apologize to them and throw punches at them just because they didn't accept it!? Are you gonna punch me too for not accepting your apology? Cause I can assure you that this is the reason why I came to see you. To tell you that I do not accept your apology. You haven't even said the words 'I'm sorry', but I rather not hear you fucking say a damn word and have you save your breath from trying to do so!"

I took a moment to catch my breath. I could swear he looked like he wanted to cry.

I continued once more.

"You're only apologizing because you feel alone, not because you really mean it. If you meant it, you wouldn't have swung at Gaara or at anyone else. You completely contradicted your self in every way with wanting peace and forgiveness from everyone in the group. Do you have any idea how much you ruined your chances?"

I waited for his response and all he did was look down at the leaf he was holding and nodded.

"Look at me Kiba." I said.

He stopped twirling the leaf and slowly brought his eyes to look at mine.

"I'm sorry, but this doesn't pain me one bit at all to say this to you. I am not your friend anymore. I do not accept any apology you have to offer. I want you to stop leaving notes in my locker and I especially from the bottom of my heart want you to leave me alone. If you're as sorry as you say you are, you think you can accept everything ive said so far?"

"...Yes... Yes I can." He whispered.

"You wanted me to come out here, I did. Did I say or do anything you were hoping for? Probably not. But I think you definitely owe me in keeping your word since ya know, you sort of fucked up my back by stomping your foot against it while I was trying to help out someone you looked upon as your supposed brother."

That did the trick. A tear rolled down from both of his eyes the second I said that.

"Do we have an agreement Kiba?" I said as he whiped both of his eyes with the sleeve of his sweater.

He tried keeping a straight face and nodded. "Yes, Hinata."

I got up and so did he. I reached out my hand and looked at him, "Thanks for the memories."

He shook my hand and smiled at me as another tear rolled down his face. "Likewise."

He let go and waved at Gaara and began to walk away.

I looked over at Gaara who was leaned up against a tree while laying his legs out on the bench to the picnic table.

He looked at me and began to slowly clap while shaking his head in disbelief.

"That was beautiful Hyuuga." He smiled while the clapping became louder and faster.

"No more clapping!" I grinned.

He stood up and walked over to me to hug me. "That was one hell of a verbal beat down you gave him. Like you left me speechless while you were burning his ass. Shots fired, God damn Hinata."

I sighed and hugged him tighter. "I just can't believe that flowed so smoothly out of my mouth." We let go. "Like I was just so pissed off you don't even know. I agreed to at least ten minutes, it only became like three or four. I know what I said was pretty harsh, but his doings were worse than my words."

"Agreed." Nodded Gaara. "I'm sure he got the memo now."

We made our way back to Gaara's car and I had him drive me home. It was agreed that this would not be mentioned to anyone of our friends. Why say something and have everyone riled up?

He wasn't worth it anymore. I thanked Gaara a hundred times more before I stepped out of his car and watched him drive off.

It was 4:15pm I was about to start walking inside my house when I heard my name being called out.

"Hinata!"

I turned around and the remaining stress I had about Kiba vanished as I saw Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto walking my way.

I smiled as Sakura hugged me.

"How's Gaara? Is he alright? We tried talking to Temari but she gave us mixed answers. What's up with him?"

Oh shit, I had forgotten about using Temari in my excuse.

"Don't worry about Gaara, he's alot better now. He talked about it, got it out of his system, and now he's fine!"

"You sure?" Asked Sasuke. "He seemed off during chemistry."

"Guys, he's fine now. Thats all that matters." I said. I walked over to Naruto and wrapped my arms around him. "I'm happy to see you guys."

"You mean just Naruto" Laughed Sasuke.

I turned my head to look over at Sasuke and Sakura and smiled. "I said all of you so shush."

Naruto kissed my forehead. "I'm glad your home."

"Me too." I said. I let go of him and raised an eyebrow. "Where were you guys heading?"

"Oh!" beamed Sakura. We were blowing up your phone to ask when you were gonna be home. We got no answer so we were gonna go annoy Neji and also ask him when you'd be back"

"We were gonna call him, but personally going over to bug him sounded alot better." Said Sasuke.

"Well I'm here now!" I said.

"Hinata, we actually had something planned for when you'd get home." smiled Sasuke.

"What was planned?" I asked.

Sakura's smile was so huge, I could swear her face would break.

She grabbed my hand and made it hold Naruto's and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"I've been dreaming about this moment for a long time!" She exclaimed.

"What! Whats going on! What was planned?" I said getting impatient by how excited she was and not telling me.

Sakura let go and grabbed Sasuke's hand and looked at Naruto and I who were also holding hands.

"WE'RE GOING ON A DOUBLE DATE!"
