-Next Morning-

Knock, Knock.

Shikamaru opened the door to his room to see Hinata standing there, blushing. " Is Kiba here?"

Shikamaru shook his head. " No. That idiot never came in last night...Don't know why"

Hinata looked up at him then at the floor and almost silently said. " Oh...I see.."

"You can leave a message if you want...It'll be troublesome but whatever..."

"NO!" Hinata said forcefully, causing Shikamaru to take a step backward like he was getting attacked by a tiger.

"Ok! Ok! I get it...I won't tell him."

Hinata turned and ran down the hall.

Shikamaru stood puzzled for a moment then went back inside and closed the door.

-About a hour later-

Lee entered Shikamaru's room, very zombie-like.

Shikamaru was sitting on his bed, packing up clothing and his ninja gear. " Morning."

Lee's reply was a mixture of a groan and a grunt as he stood there.

"Long night."

Affirmative grunt.

"Is Gaara okay?"

Another affirmative grunt.

" Figured out whats wrong with him yet?"

Negative grunt.

"Has he gotten worse?"

Affirmative grunt.

"Kissed him yet?"

The words drifted into Lee's years and sent a shock into his brain, kicking it back into coherent action, which so happened to be falling to the ground and into a wall.

Shikamaru laughed to himself before stuffing another item into the bag which was already past maximum compasity and looked at the confused, surprised and now awake Lee. " Yes we all know."

Before Lee could force words from his mouth the door opened, Kiba stood in the doorway, soaking wet and pissed, both Lee and Shikamaru knew this wasn't a time to ask questions but to go into emergency mode, mass evacuation. But the problem was that Kiba was in the doorway, the only doorway.

"Hi Kiba...Just got out of the shower...?" Lee shuddered. " Thats very youthful of you!" He stood up and beamed proudly, only to get his face smashed into the nearby wall.
"Shut up! Yeah its a well known fact that i shower in my clothing!" Kiba yelled and dropped Lee. " I slept outside last night and you know how i was woken up? By a old piece of lard pouring water on me! Said i was taking up space...Asshole, i would have kicked his ass but..."

"But what?" Shikamaru asked, already getting bored of this.

"But nothing! Leave me alone!"

"Why did you sleep outside? I know Naruto smells badly but i thought..."

"It wasn't Naruto. It was...Hinata..."

"She was here earlier...She wanted to see you...and nearly took my face off when i asked if she wanted to leave a message..." He shuddered at the memory.

Kiba turned his face. " Why would I care?"

"I just thought..." Shikamaru started.

"You thought wrong. I'll start my shift with Kankuro. Now where did that idiot Naruto take him?"

"They are with Gaara..." Said Lee in a slight whimper as the bump on his head grew larger.

Kiba turned and left, leaving Shikamaru with the woozy Lee. " ...Troublesome..."

Kiba went down the hall, forgetting his wet clothing and letting his hot head dry him off. He walked with his eyes open but they weren't connected to his head, as he walked down the stairs and walked out the door he literally ran into Hinata and knocked her down into the dirt. " OH! I'm sorry!" He said not realizing it was her, it always takes a moment for the eyes to get reconnected to the brain, but once he saw it was her he turned and walked again, away from her without a word.

"S-Stop!" Hinata cried as she ran to him and grabbed his hand to stop him. "Stop Kiba."

"Why should I?" He asked without turning his head but stopped his walking.

"Can I please talk to you? I want to talk about what you said last night.."

"Don't. Spare me." Kiba said, starting to walk off again but got pulled into a kiss, Hinata pulled him closer and closed her eyes and fell into the kiss.

Kiba broke the kiss.(After a bit) and looked at her, puzzled.

"I feel the same way." Tears welled up in her eyes as she smiled.

Kiba smiled and leaned in to hug her but then stopped in his tracks when he saw her face, the smile was replaced with a black shock as she looked down at her chest, sticking out of it was a long sword, covered in her blood and watched her as she collapsed.
