YAY!! This is my first fanfic ever. I'm slowly coverting from a naruto freak to a semi-naruto freak to a naruto freak once more!!! There's really not that much plot, but there will be later on! Please read and review.

ENJOY! ….

Oh and do I even really need to do this?

Disclaimer: I never owned Naruto, I wish I did, But I don't. DUH!!!

------------------

Hinata looked at herself in front of the mirror just like she did every morning. She dressed quietly and stepped out the bathroom door. As she walked down the dimly lit hallway, a maid greeted her and gave her a note.

'hinata,

let's go on a date today, the cherry blossoms look great

kiba'

As she read the familiar, semi-legible scrawl, Hinata's heart started to beat quickly as she began to blush. She could feel the confused stare of the maid on her back as she hurriedly ran down the hallway. When she reached the main entrance, she paused for a moment to straighten her silken kimono. They had been dating for a year now, Kiba and Hinata….she shook her head, Kiba was waiting, she couldn't think idle thoughts now.

As she walked toward Kiba, he approached her and enfolded her in a warm hug. She pulled away, and said

"A..are we g..going to th..the p..park, Kiba-kun?"

"Yeah, the blossoms look really pretty today, like you"

"gasp Kiba!"

Hinata blushed furiously at this statement.

Kiba chuckled and grasped her hand as they began to walk toward the park with Akamaru trailing not far behind.

Hinata looked at the man who stood next to her, no longer was he the same arrogant, annoying boy that she had grown up with, he still had the red-fang marks on his cheeks, and the black spiky hair, but his personality was somehow….different. They were both 19 now, but it couldn't have really been that long ago…right….

flashback

"Bye Hinata!" A blond haired, blue eyed ninja called as he set off. Hinata sighed and sadly waved good bye to the boy, her crush or otherwise know as Uzimaki Naruto. She had known that he would be leaving, but she also knew that there was a good chance that she'd never see him ever again. He still thought of her as only a friend; she never had summed up the courage to tell him her true feelings.

It was a nice, warm spring day when he left, cherry blossoms were in full bloom and children from the Academy were playing "ninja" along the streets. Hinata, however walked to the old training place after Naruto left. This was the place where he had told her that he thought that she wasn't that strange anymore, that she could actually be a bit on the normal side. She slumped down next to one of the enormous logs and looked around her. Memories were dancing and twirling with the wind before her eyes. Naruto training, Naruto smiling that confident smile, Naruto hurt…..all her emotions bounced and swirled inside of her until she felt like she was about to burst.

"Hinata?"

She gasped and whirled around only to find herself face to face with one of her teammates, Inuzuka Kiba.

"Have you been…crying?"

Her hands flew up to touch her own cheeks, sure enough, they were streaked with wet tears.

"O..Oh he..hello Kiba-kun…w..why are y…you h..here?"

Her voice faded as she miserably stared at the ground in shame.

"I was just visiting our old training ground, y'know. Anyways, you want to take a stroll in the park with me? The cherry blossoms are really great this year."

Hinata gaped at him in surprise before she could stop herself, it wasn't like him to appreciate the delicate beauty of the blossoms!

"I mean…Akamaru wanted to go, anyway…" Kiba blushed furiously as he turned away.

So it started.

From then on, Kiba had been her pillar of comfort, a shoulder that she could cry on, her number one confidante. The puppy was also a nice addition, although it wasn't really puppy, more like a small pony. At any point, she was so happy, so full of comfort; her romantic feelings for Naruto had completely disappeared, leaving only easy friendship in its place…

"Hinata?"

Hinata gasped as she realized that Kiba had been talking to her as she was daydreaming.

"Y..yes?

"Ohh..daydreaming again. Well, I guess that it's expected since you're crazy about me. Anyway, have you seen Naruto or Sasuke?"

Hinata bit her lip; Naruto had surprisingly come back a few months ago, bringing a horribly injured Sasuke with him.

"N…no, Kiba-kun, I haven't s..seen him f..for a few w..weeks."

"Oh. Well, you—"

"Oi! Kiba, Hinata!"

A familiar voice cut in the middle of their conversation, it was none other than Uzimaki Naruto, Hinata's old crush. Kiba wrinkled his nose in annoyance and Hinata blushed like she always did when she was nervous. Naruto was with his wife, whom he had found and married during his time being away. The pair ran up to meet with Kiba and Hinata.

"How's it going, Uzimaki?"

"A little strange, I've been away from Konoha for too long. Everything's changed, and everyone's changed too! For example, just look at you and Hinata!"

Hinata was surprised by this comment and started to go red in the face.

"Oh, hi Hinata! I haven't seen you for a while! How's it going?"

"F..fine N..naruto-kun"

It was at this moment that Naruto realized that he had yet to introduce his wife to them.

"Oi, I forgot! Kiba, Hinata, this is Jinmei Keiko! I found her along the road when I was headed back from the Land of the Rain."

"Pleased to meet you, and as my husband said, I was found, it's true. But I made up for it later since I saved his butt from being kicked!"

This provoked a loud laugh from both of the men, and a gentle, quiet chuckle from Hinata.

Hinata, wide-eyed, observed Keiko as the men discussed other things. Keiko had enormous striking emerald eyes that reminded her of the tropical rainforests that she had read of in a few books. She had a slightly tanned complexion and a slim, elegant figure. A green silken kimono was gently wrapped around her body and her hair was tied back in a simple braid. They were about the same height, Hinata and Keiko, but she sensed that Keiko was much more experienced even though she was already a jounin. Her eyes betrayed her seemingly infinite knowledge. She was just the kind of wife Naruto needed, kind and gentle, but also humorous and fun at the same time. Keiko indeed looked like a blessing, as her name stated.

"—on the way to the park, want to join us?"

Hinata tuned into the conversation just as Kiba invited Naruto, or Uzimaki, as Kiba called him, to the park.

"Naw, we're on our way to visit Sasuke. I couldn't see him yesterday; the nurses wouldn't let me, so I'd thought that I would try my luck today."

"Then in that case, we'll go too. Is that alright Hinata?"

"O..ok"

Hinata had always wondered what had happened to Sasuke these past few years. She never dared to visit alone, but now that Kiba, Naruto, and this Keiko were also going, she felt a whole lot braver than before.

They chatted as they walked to the Leaf's hospital. Keiko was talkative and kept everyone amused with her subtle jokes. No wonder Naruto had taken a liking to her! As they reached the hospital, they found everything in frenzy. A worried Sakura ran up to them.

"Have you seen Sasuke-kun?!"

Her face was contorted with worry as she assaulted Kiba and Naruto with her demands to know where he was.

"No, why?"

"Because he's gone. Again, and he isn't supposed to be out, y'know."

An oddly familiar voice behind them had spoken.

"Hello Naruto. Long time no see, I suppose that the lovely young lady over there is your girlfriend?"

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!!"

Naruto was jubilant as he rushed up to embrace his old sensei.

"Actually, Keiko's my wife. When did you get here Kakashi-sensei?"

"Just yesterday. And speaking of wives, mine has worried herself carzy over this missing Sasuke"

Naruto looked all of them suspiciously, when did Kakashi-sensei get married? And to whom? Too many things have changed while he was gone!

"Oh, c'mon Kakashi, I'm not that worried"

Sakura bounced over to Kakashi and kissed him on the cheek. Kakashi hugged her tightly in return.

"I missed you so much Kakashi dear!!!"

"WAIT A MINUTE…. SAKURA-CHAN? YOU'RE MARRIED TO KAKASHI-SENSEI???"

Naruto heard, but didn't feel, himself hit the ground. Everything went black.

End of Chapter One

---------------------------

Like it? It's kind of weird, I never thought of kakasaku before, but I read another fanfic with those 2 together, so why not? Expect more shikatema, nejiten, chojiino (dunno where that came from), and sasuOC (no more characters XD). I've got to work on a main plot….
