"She spoke to me!" Repeated the still agitated Kiba.
Shino had been sick that day and caught a bad cold.
So, Hinata and Kiba had to train alone.
They were on their way to the training ground when Kiba met his crush Susuki.
She had greeted Kiba happily and smiled at him.
Hinata was happy for her boyfriend, but she thought of Naruto.
She had also been approached by him once.
"Hinata! You're weird, but I like people like you! Really!", He had said to her and Hinata had to giggle even today when she thought about it.
"Kiba. You have to admit it to yourself ... She likes you," affirmed Hinata Kiba.
"Oh man. It must be my lucky day!" Admitted Kiba.
He infected Hinata with his cheerfulness.
She already knew that from him.
Sometimes she didn't like his boisterous manner, but like I said, they were still pretty good friends.
"Hey you," said a woman's voice and the two turned around."Sensei .." Hinata muttered.
It was Kurenai who had only just noticed her students.
"Where's Shino?"
"Oh, he's cuddling up in his bed right now," said Kiba.
"Is he ill?"
"He has a fever and a bad cold," added Hinata.
"Oh poor man. I had thought about whether we shouldn't even train for an hour today. You've been working so hard lately," said the woman and looked at her students alternately.
Hinata blushed and Kiba smiled all over her face.
"What is Hinata?" Said Kurenai.
"K-can we go to the N-noodle bar?"
Kurenai understood immediately.
"Sure. I haven't eaten anything today either. Is that okay, Kiba?"
He nodded wildly and grinned.
The supermarket was nearby and maybe he would still meet Susuki.
Hinata hoped that Naruto was in the noodle bar and it wasn't long before they entered the bar.
Hinata as well as Kiba were disappointed.Neither Naruto nor Susuki had seen them.
Buckled, they sat down on the stools and each ordered a soup.

"Yes, yes. I know!"
It was a voice Hinata was familiar with.
She almost choked on her soup.
"Naruto," she muttered and a second later she looked into the blond's face.
She was bright red and helplessly she looked at Kiba as Naruto sat down on the stool next to her.
"Same as always, Ichiraku!" Shouted the annoyed boy.
At that moment, Sasuke also appeared.
“Baka!” Sasuke was pale as chalk.
"Can you please be angry with me later? I have to eat something first!", Naruto said and looked at his comrade.
"I'll finish you!", Sasuke shouted and jumped at Naruto. He pulled him to the ground, sat on top of him, and pressed his hands behind his back.
"Sasuke," groaned Naruto, "you're crushing me!"
"And if so!"
Hinata got up and without wanting to, she had torn Sasuke away from the helplessly kicking Naruto."Let go of him!", She scolded and grabbed the Uchiha by the top.
Meanwhile, Naruto had stood behind the counter and agreed with Hinata:
"Exactly. What do you think of just pouncing on me?"
Only now did the Kunoichi realize what had just happened.
Embarrassed, she let go of Sasuke and stormed out of the shop.
"Hinata ?!", Kiba called to her, but she couldn't hear it anymore.
Kurenai groaned.
"Guys! What happened?"
She stared at them both with an evil look.
"Well, yes ...", Naruto said and looked at the floor.
How was he supposed to explain to Kurenai what crap he'd done?
