Chapter 11

I sat in the dark, staring at the ceiling angrily.

That stupid Uchiha, toying with my emotions so easily. And then he plans to be my friend but says he doesn’t want to see me. What a jerk. I hate him! I won’t lose to someone like him!, I thought bitterly. Well you do have to admit, you’ve fallen pretty hard for him. Ryuu chuckled amused. Shut up, if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be in this situation. I thought angrily. How is it my fault that your starting to like a guy? He asked calmly. Your the one who made me realize I might have a tiny bit of feelings for him. I growled. He has feelings for you to. They just might be feelings of hate. He muttered.

“Oh, shut up.” I said angrily.

There was a loud knock on the door. I glared at it angrily as if it would open itself. The knocking came again. I sighed and walked towards the door, flipping on a light and yanking it open.

“Hey.” A husky voice said coolly.

I blinked and stared at the brown haired kid in front of me.

“Kiba?” I asked uncertainly.

“The one and only.” He laughed.

“Uhhh, what’s up?” I said casually.

“Nothing much, I was just wondering if you wanted to do something today. Hinata and Shino are busy and Kurenai Sensei gave us the afternoon off so...” He trailed nervously.

I smiled kindly, “Sure. What do you wanna do?” I said pulling the door closed and walking out on the steps.

“Uhhh...Maybe we could go to the park?” He said uncertainly.

I nodded, “Yeah, sounds like fun.”

He smiled enthusiastically and we walked down the steps and through the Leaf Village.

It wasn’t awkward, me and Kiba had talked once or twice in class so we weren’t uncomfortable. We mostly talked about things like the weather and how training was going and how much our squads stunk. When we got to the park we sat down on one of the benches and talked some more about random stuff.

“Hmmm.....Misaki?” Kiba said casually.

“Hn?”

“Well....I wanted to give you something....” He trailed.

I looked up at him, “What?”

He blushed slightly and reached in his pocket, pulling out a rectangular black box. I blushed as he gave it to me.

“Open it.” He said quietly.

Inside the box was a black dog tag on a ball chain with my name engraved on the front in intricate letters. I gasped and stared at it adoringly.

“Turn it over.” Kiba whispered, embarrassed.

I frowned and turned it over. In small letters it said, Be my best friend? in the rough scratchy form of Kiba’s handwriting. I stared at it and turned to him, smiling.

“Yeah. For sure.” I said happily.

He exhaled and smiled. “Oh, and by the way, Happy Birthday, Misaki.” He chuckled.

“You knew?” I asked surprised.

He nodded, “I heard the Sensei’s talking about it earlier.” He said faintly.

“That’s weird...Oh well.” I said, “Hey, help me put this on?” I asked holding out the necklace.

He nodded and I moved my ponytail out of the way as he clasped the chain together. It hung heavily just above my chest area.

“Thanks,” I said happily.

Jeeze, what’s wrong with all the men in this stinking Village?! Ryuu said in disbelief. What’s that supposed to mean? I said angrily. Don’t take it the wrong way. But a few days ago the Uchiha wanted you to die and now he wants you to be his friend. And then this guy, who’s basically never talked to you before just comes out of nowhere and gives you a necklace, asking you to become his best friend. AND you barely know either of these guys. Ryuu said suspiciously. Just give it a rest. It’s not like I’m really friends with them. They’re just saying that. I said slowly.

“So, Kiba. I wanna get to know you better.” I said smiling. “Mind if I ask you some things?”

He looked surprised, “Sure.” He said casually.

“Well...What’s you favorite color?” I asked.

“Gray, yours?”

“Black.” I muttered. “What’s your favorite food?”

“Beef Jerky,” He chuckled. “You?”

I smiled. “I don’t have one. I haven’t eaten much food in my lifetime. Hehe.” I laughed quietly.

He raised his eyebrows but I moved on. “Have any brothers or sisters?”

“One sister, she’s a vet. Her names Hana, she’s a vet. And my moms name is Tsume, her ninja dogs name is Kuromaru. But...My dad died a while ago...Sickness...” He trailed staring off into space and then blinking, “What about your family?”

I felt my chest tighten but I still smiled. “I had 2 sisters and a brother. My sisters were identical twins name Lily and Lilac, they were 8. And my brothers name was Daisuke, he was my age. My Moms name was Anzu she was pretty and nice and....My-my dads name was Taoma, he looked exactly like Daisuke did....He was strong and kind and taught me almost everything I know...” I trailed.

Kiba stiffened, “You said was and had....What does that mean?” He said slowly.

“....They died...Murdered....You see....I was born in the Sand Village, my entire family was. My clan actually originated from the Sand...But on account of the entire clan being slaughtered I was transferred here by the Kazekage....” I mumbled as my chest got tighter. I could feel the tears in my eyes and bent my head down as they streaked down my face.

Kiba was quiet. I felt him wrap his arms around me gently as I cried silently. After about 5 minutes I wiped my eyes and stood up, blinking hard. Kiba stood up next to me.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought it up.” He muttered.

I smiled, “It’s fine.” I said with fake happiness.

Kiba tried to smile but failed. He stiffened and sniffed the air slightly.

“Hinata?” He asked uncertainly.

I blinked and looked behind him. “Correct,” I said happily.

“Kiba...Uhh...Hana asked me to get you...It’s dinner time...” She said quietly.

Kiba rubbed the back of his neck, “Jeeze, could they have picked a better time? Oh well..I’ll see you tomorrow or something ok, Misaki?” He said turning around and running past Hinata.

I nodded and turned around.

“Oh...And...Happy Birthday, Misaki.” Hinata said faintly as I walked away.

I winced slightly and waved over my shoulder. “Thanks, Hinata-chan.” I called over my shoulder.
