Kiba had been walking to the Hyuga compound to fetch Hinata for their early morning training. He had arrived and was about to knock on the door, but then Hinata's scent caught his attention. Slowly he started to follow, something was very wrong, this wasn't Hinata's normal scent. This was full of fear, and something else he couldn't put his finger on. Shortly after following it he realized it was headed towards the training grounds and it was at least 3 hours old. Tentatively he started to walk near the clearing. "Hinata?"

Hinata really didn't want him to see her bruised and battered but she really didn't have the energy to run faster than him. Silently she sat, not responding, and hoping he wouldn't find her.

"Hinata?" This time is voic was filled with concern. Quickly she started to stand but felt a sharp pain in her side, gasping, she fell to her knees. "Hinata!" Kiba was getting closer. She was starting to get up but she started coughing up blood again. (AGAIN?) Finally Kiba entered the clearing and saw Hinata coughing and gasping for breath.

"Hinata!" Quickly he ran over to her. "Hinata…What happened to you?!" He went to embrace her in a hug but as soon as he touched her arm she flinched. Looking at her arms for a first time he noticed all the bruises.

"Hinata…" He looked at her and noticed she was shivering. Quickly he took his own coat off and put it on her.

"K-kiba…!" She moved to take off his jacket. "Keep it Hinata. You're freezing…"

"T-Thank you…" Slowly so he wouldn't frighten her he picked up his small friend and set her in his lap, hugging her all the while. She was squirming at first but felt how warm Kiba was and shortly after fell asleep.

When she woke up it was probably mid-afternoon, but she was still too tired to even open her eyes. She was about to go back to sleep but she realized she was no longer in Kiba's arms, but in an overly large bed. She would have one back to sleep even considering she had no clue where she was but somebody was in the room.

"Are you sure?" That voice sounded very familiar.

"Positive…I checked her memory…" She knew that second speaker was Tsunade, she knew that at least.

"But that means…" It was the first speaker again. "Tsunade-sama…She can't-" Hinata would've kept listening, but she was violently coughing up blood. (Which tends to get in the way of your hearing)

"I'll go…Tell me if she gets worse." Tsunade was gone in an instant.

"You alright, Sunshine?" slowly Hinata nodded her head and warily she opened her eyes.

"I-Inuzaka-sama!" There standing over the bed she was laying in was Kiba's mom, eyes full of concern.

"You don't have to call me that sunshine!" Slowly Hinata sat up, wincing from the pain in her side.

"You sure you're okay, sunshine?" Before Hinata could answer Kiba came running in.

"Baa-chan! Is she okay?" He hadn't even looked over, and didn't notice Hinata staring at them with a confused look. "Kiba! Back it off! She's… better…" Turning around, Kiba saw Hinata and let off a huge grin. "Hinata!!" Quickly he jumped onto the bed and tackled her.

"K-Kiba!" Hinata tried to struggle out of his arms but he just squeezed tighter. She started to pull back, but he wouldn't let go. "Kiba!" His mom was practically barking. "Look our for-" She was cut off by Kiba and Hinata toppling off the bed.

"H-Hinata! Are you okay?!" He was practically yelling. "Come on… Answer me!"

"K-Kiba… *koff* *koff* Please get off of me…" Kiba looked down for the first time and noticed that the way he fell, he landed with his knees in Hinata's stomach. Immediately he jumped off her. "Uum… Sorry Hinata." She was shaking. "I-it's okay K-kiba…" with a sigh Kiba's mom started to walk out but stopped. "Do you want some breakfast, sunshine?" "N-no thank you. I-I sh-should be getting h-home…" There was a dead silence in the room as both Inuzakas looked at each other.

Uumm…. Hinata-sama say read and review. And she put this cute face here. -- ^-^

Yeah, minimoose apologizes for taking so long. Hinata-sama wrote this like a day after the first chapter, so I'm sorry for procrastinating typing it up so long. Blame MiniMoose. I'm also sorry for the little bits in parenthesis I wrote. Hinata didn't say that. At least none of the funny ones. :P I always find those annoying, (and yet somehow I couldn't resist!) So yeah… I'm sorry, Hinata-sama!
