[ A - All Readers ]
THANK YOU!! ShadowBlade539 for the review it makes me very happy ^^
Anyways onto the story
A couple of days pass and everything returned to normal. Hinata and her team had gotten closer and where inseparable. And Hinata was more determined to get stronger. She trained everyday till she couldn't stand and hardly ever ate. Shino suggested that she train every other day, to give her body some rest but Hinata refused politely and continued to do everything she could to get her self as strong and confident as Naruto.
“Hinata-Chan... are you sure you can handle it?” Kiba asked concerned. Hinata looked up at him and gave a weak but warm smile. “It's ok k-Kiba-kun I s-said I w-was here for you a-and Shino-kun, s-so I need t-to do my b-best for you t-two as well” Kiba looked at her still a little worried “ I know you worked on this technique for a while but your body is far to weak to handle me and Shino at full force, I know you've been trying your best for us but your only just still learning this technique and you've been at this for days, your body won't handle it!” Hinata looked up at Kiba. She knew he was just looking out for her but she was determined to master the technique. “Kiba-kun if y-you really care about me then you w-would not hold back” she said trying not to stutter.
“Kiba if Hinata-Chan wishes to this then we will support her through it” Shino said as he took a stance. Kiba looked unconvinced but he went in to a fighting stance anyway.
After 10 minutes both Shino and Kiba where panting heavily as broken kunai's lay around them. Hinata was also out breathing but not as bad as her teammates. “That's enough for today Hinata-Chan, you have mastered your technique so please have a rest” Kiba said trying to control his breathe intake. Akumaru barked as he tiredly sat down. Shino, kiba and Hinata joined him. “Hinata-chan?” Kiba asked as he watched her stand up and walk behind a tree. Shino and Kiba watched her in curiosity. She disappeared behind a large tree only to reappear holding a bento twice her size. She walked towards them and sat it down. “I wanted to t-treat you guys… s-since you have supported me through e-everything, so I made a l-little food, I h-hope it is to your liking” Hinata said cheerily. Shino nodded and opened the bento. “Itakimasu” Shino said as he put a squid shape hot dog in his mouth. “This is delicious…” Shino said as he took another…” Kiba looked at him and then at Hinata. “When did you have time to make this?!” He asked shocked. Hinata blushed a little “well I woke up early so…” Hinata trailed off. “You woke up early? What time?!” “Well...” Hinata started but was cut of by a raging Kiba. “You missed out on sleep again haven't you! You can't keep doing that! You'll get sick!” Kiba yelled. “But…” “Stop making up excuses! Before you try and take care of someone else try taking care of your self first!” he yelled as he stormed off. “Wait Kiba-kun!” Hinata yelled after him but Kiba had already disappeared. Hinata was about to go after him when Shino stopped her. “Don't worry Hinata-chan, Kiba may seem angry but his just worried… and so am I” Shino said as he placed his chopstick in a napkin and turned to look at her. “Kiba is right you have to look after yourself to… I know your always thinking of other people but when you do these kind of things, like hardly sleeping and eating, you get people worried, so you must try your best to look after your self or Kiba will have a fit again” Hinata looked at the ground taking in, what Shino had just said. She looked up at him and smiled “I understand, is it ok if I excuse my self from training early today?” she asked politely. “You may, go get some rest” Hinata gave a little bow and ran towards her home. Shino turned back to the extremely large bento. “I can't eat all of this…” he gently took his chopsticks of the napkin and picked up something that was a shape of a penguin. He stared at it before putting it in his mouth. “This is also delicious as well…”
Hinata felt a bit guilty about what had happened earlier with Kiba, so she decided to go and apologies to him. But Hinata had no clue where he was. “Where would k-Kiba-kun be?” she asked herself. Then she remembered that Kiba hadn't eaten yet and he loved beef stew, and there was only one place in Konoha where they served that.
Hinata took quick steps towards the little restaurant, she would have run but she didn't have enough energy to. The restaurant was small but the food they served was as delicious as any food you can get from a fancy restaurant and the spice and herbs they used matched no other. It was also very cozy inside. The wall's where a nice shade of light red and they had a very interesting pattern to it that reminded her of cows. Also the shop owner was very kind and sometimes treated them, he also adored animals.
Hinata slowly opened the doors of the restaurant and viewed in, scanning it to see if Kiba was there and sure enough Kiba was stuffing down everything he could manage to stuff in his mouth. Hinata giggled a little. He reminded her of Naruto. Hinata smiled sadly, she missed him so much. She was snapped back to reality when the shop owner came up to her. “Hinata-Chan? What are you doing there? Come inside.” He said as he ushered her in. Hinata smiled at him. “w-well I was j-just wondering i-if Kiba-kun was h-here” she said as she looked towards him. The shop owner nodded and sighed. “That kid has a bottomless stomach I swear” Hinata laughed quietly at the remark. She had also wondered that. “So Hinata-Chan what will you have today? The usual?” Hinata nodded “yes please, Okito-San” Hinata said as she bowed her head a little showing her appreciation. Okito walked back to the kitchen shouting out orders.
Hinata walked towards Kiba's table and silently sat down. But Kiba and Akumaru was to engrossed at what they where eating to pay attention to who had sat next to them. Hinata watched them and giggled a little. She didn't mind just watching, she always did, and it helped her understand other people better.
After Kiba and Akumaru had finished of their last plate Hinata had just finished her first one, and that's when they noticed she was there. Kiba jumped a little startled at her sudden appearance to him. “H-Hinata? What are you doing there and how long have you been there?” he asked amazed. Hinata smiled at him “I came here to apologize to you” Kiba looked at her shocked. She stood up and bowed her head “I'm v-very sorry, I w-was being s-selfish and only t-thinking of myself, I h-had not considered y-your feeling and had w-worried you, I am t-truly sorry” Kiba stared at her in awe. She had actually stood up in a public place and apologized to him, it's not that she never apologized before but having the courage to do it in front of so many people was a very big step for Hinata. Hinata looked at him and gave a very warm smile that he rarely saw. “I also want to thank you, for everything” Kiba blushed a little seeing Hinata like that made his stomach swirl. They smiled at each other for a while before they heard applause surrounding them. They both looked around confused and then embarrassed as they saw that everyone there had just clapped for them. Kiba changed back to his angry mood and glared at hem, warning them to stop, Hinata on the other hand turned a bright red and ran outside, Kiba and Akumaru followed her. They stopped a few meters away from the restaurant before Hinata burst out laughing. Kiba and Akumaru both looked at her like she grew a third head. “Why are you laughing?” he asked confused.” Hinata wiped a tear from her eyes and looked up at Kiba still suppressing her laughter. “I'm s-sorry” she said as she held her stomach. “but when I apologized to you I had completely forgotten about everything else, cause I was so nervous that you might still be angry” she said as she finally stopped her laughing. Kiba smiled at her and ruffled her hair up not to softly either. Hinata winced a little but looked up at Kiba's grinning face and couldn't help but smile as well, “who would stay angry at you!” he laughed. Akumaru barked loudly which both made them look at him. “What's up boy?” Kiba asked. “I'm sorry to interrupt” a voice said with out any emotion.
Hinata and Kiba both turned to find Neji looking at them seriously. Neji and Hinata had bonded after the Chonin exams and where like brother and sister. “What's the matter Neji-niisan?” Hinata asked a little worried. “I'm sorry Kiba-san but I need Hinata-sama to come back home.” Hinata nodded and walked towards him. “May I talk to you for a little bit Kiba-san?” Neji asked as he scooted him away from Hinata. Neji handed him a piece of paper that was held together with chakra. “What's this?” Kiba asked as he looked down at it. “it a message to the Hokage, please deliver this as quick as you can, it's really important, if you don't Hinata may die” Neji practically whispered the last part. Kiba gasped and looked at Hinata. “What do you mean?!” he yelled. “Shhhh!!” Neji hissed. “Just give this to Tsunade-sama as fast as you can and quickly find Shino-san and go straight to the Hyuuga house.” Kiba stared at him in anger! “What the hell are you talking about? If something was going to happen to Hinata in that damn house you call home then why take her there!” he yelled. Hinata looked at him in confusion. “What's going to happen?” she asked softly. Neji sighed. “I'm sorry Hinata-sama… your father wanted to see you and if I didn't bring you then…” Neji trailed of looking away, he was ashamed of himself. Hinata scanned his expression and nodded. “I see, t-then we should g-go” both Kiba and Neji stared at her shocked. “if father wishes to see me then I will go” “but” “ its ok Neji-niisan, I'll be fine” Hinata cut him off with a smile. Kiba stared at her in Horror. “Are you crazy? You know something bad is going to happen but you're still willing to go?!” Kiba asked angrily. Hinata smiled. If she didn't go then her father will surely punish Neji and she wasn't going to let that happen. “Kiba… you can't do anything with out the Hokage” Neji said sadly. Kiba looked at him and then at her. “You better be alright when I get there!” he yelled as he ran of as fast as his legs could carry him towards Tsunade's office.
Neji watched his figure disappear in a crowd and turned to look at Hinata. She looked calm and serious. He was about to say something when she cut him off again. “Don't w-worry Neji-niisan as l-[ong as I'm t-there he won't activate the s-seal ok?” Hinata said as she offered him a warm smile. After what he tried to do to her at the chonin exams and how cruel he was before that she was still willing to help him even when it meant her getting hurt. “Your amazing Hinata-sama” Neji whispered. “What did you s-say Neji-niisan?” Hinata asked looking at him innocently. He smiled at her “thank you” Hinata returned the smiled and walked towards the Hyuuga house where her father was waiting for her.
Sorry about the wait I had a load of homework… anyways I hoped you liked it
But I need some help… I don't know who to pair Hinata up with. I was thinking I might make it Kiba but then again their relationship might only be brother sister one's but if anyone has a favorite character pairing with Hinata then Suggestions would be more then welcome. And please review! ^^
