Hinata smiled when she heard his voice. She glanced over her shoulder, then lowered the burner. She greeted him near the entrance of the kitchen, her cheeks flushed. Hinata gripped the bottom of his jacket and stood on the tips of her toes to kiss him lightly on the lips.

"The tea's done," She told him in a quiet voice.

Blinking in confusing for a tiny second Kiba gently kissed her back happy to see her acting this brave and confident. Having most of her memories back would be the main reason of her to act like this Kiba thought while gently grabbing her hand to lead her back to the kitchen to retrieve their tea. Well who was he to complain. He chuckled faintly and grabbed his cup still holding Hnatas other hand in his own and walked back inside the living room.

Hinata settled next to Kiba on the couch, taking the tea cup from his hands. She took a sip, "Kiba-kun, I think I should go home and see my father. It feels like ages since I've seen him. I g-guess we should tell him the good news then, right?"

She paused when something flashed through her mind, "Wait... does he still not like the idea of us being together? He h-hated you..."

Kiba looked up and shook his head. ''Nah i dont think so. ''You remember me telling you about the fight with that villain Modori rigth?'' when she gave a soft nod he continued to speak. ''Well while he held you under that jutsu me Naruto Sakura and even your father tried to stop him. I gave my all trying to protect you and your father realized that i really wasnt that bad'' here he chuckled. '' and told me that it was ok to love you that it was really no problem after seeing me fight. i was really shocked at first and asked him if it really was all right. he jsut smiled and nodded before he disappeared taking you with him'' he stopped talking then and looked back Hinata. ''You see you really dont need to worry any longer. and gently put his arm round her shoulder and kissed her cheeks lightly.

Hinata sighed contently and let her head fall into the crook of his neck. She whispered against his tan skin, "Good b-because I don't think I can take anymore people trying to keep us a-apart."

Hinata couldn't remember being this happy before. She felt complete, whole. She blushed lightly, her lips caressing his neck.

Kiba chuckled lightly and gave a soft nod. ''Me too,me too Hina-chan'' he said and gently combed with his fingers through her long hair and placed a quick kiss on top of her head. ''Say Hinata what do you say if i take you out for some drinks tonight? Its been way too long since i last went out with the guys And i think we both deserve some nice time after everything we went through'' given her a hopeful look he awaited her answer.

Hinata didn't move an inch, "That sounds l-like fun. Although I think that I should stop home first a-and maybe I work. I want to check on Shino-kun one more time..."

She wasn't sure if Kiba would want to Shino again, but she at least had to make sure that he was doing better...

''Hmm yes'' Kiba said and looked back at the clock to check the time. He really didnt felt like moving rigth now. with hina laying this close against him he felt more then good rigth now he felt really relaxed and complete but when she managed Shino's name he started to worry once more and slowly moved himself in a sitting position. ''Its past eleven Hinata why dont we check the hospital to see how Shino is and i think its better if you call Sakura rigth now to ask if you need to work?'' and stood up from the couch to give her the phone.

Hinata took the phone from his hands. She was suddenly feeling very nervous; maybe there was a part of her that didn't want to know how Shino was doing, in case it had gotten worse.

She dialed the number to the hospital and pressed the phone to her ear. After two rings Sakura picked the phone up, "Hospital. How can I help you?"

"Sakura-chan! I-it's Hinata... how are things? Do you need any help?" She asked, twirling the phone cord around her finger.

Sakura was a little surprised, "Hold on... let me check."

There was a short pause on the other end of the line. Hinata guessed Sakura was checking patient charts or something like that, "Actually we could use an extra set of hands, if you don't mind coming in for an hour or so..."

"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can."

Kiba waited till she was done calling Sakura and leaned against the wall near the kitchen. ''Lets get going then'' Kiba said and combed through his uncombed brown hair while waiting for Hinata to lay down the phone.

Hinata carefully placed the phone back on the recieve, and went to gather up her things. She met Kiba at the door, taking his hand as they left the building.

"Um... should we check back at my house first or go straight to the hospital?" She asked when they got down to the streets.

Kiba thought about for a short while before he asnwered her and said. ''hmm i think its wise to check at your home to let your father know everything first i think Sakura is able to manage without you for a little while longer ore am i wrong'' and he chuckled a little.

Hinata nodded in agreement, "I think she'll be alright for a few minutes longer. The hospital isn't too far from my house..."

She turned onto the street that would lead them to the Hyuuga estate. She hoped that her father was still awake. Moments later, they arrived at the gates. Hinata carefully walked through and fumbled with her keys before getting the door open.

"Father?" She called into the darkness.

A minute passed and the lights flickered on. Hiashi stumbled into the room, rubbing his eyes, "What are you two doing here so late?"

Kiba stepped forwards and gently urged Hinata to follow him. ''No worries Hyuga-sama Hinata wanted to tell you some great news right Hina-chan?'' He looked at her and smiled softly. If Hiashi knew about her returning memories then maybe he could carefully ask the stern strict man to concider making Hinata move in with him but first he needed to let Hinata know about his plans for the future only then when she felt like moving in with him would he be able to be brave enough to even dare to ask her father to think about the idea even a little.

and a even bigger problem lady Tsuande the Hokage still wasnt convinced enough in the results of him and Naruto getting along well enough to make them live on their own jsut yet. He needed to become better friends with Naruto to even let his plan work that migth become a big proble and very hard to do. He liked Naruto but he just got way to easily annoyed by his wild and loud nature that guy really was way to cheerful sometimes.

Kiba looked at Hinata again and waited till she told her father about the news.

"I remember almost everything that I lost," She told him with a happy smile. She still couldn't believe that Kiba and her father were on friendly terms now...

Hiashi's eyebrows shot up and then a small smile spread across his face, "That's great news. I know Kiba and I were both very worried about you. So... where are you two headed off to so late?"
