Kiba disliked the Hospital. Its strark white walls and sterile atmosphere creating a negative feeling. It was only made worse by the fact that he was not allowed to have Akamaru as company. But, no matter, for things were worse than that at the moment.

                  It seemed odd that he was actually in the hospital in the first place. The sound village invades and captures his friend and his girlfriend. He promptly stabs himself and blacks out; and now he's in the hospital as if nothing happened. It didn't make sense. Kiba could only come up with two things to explain this. One, the invasion never happened and he managed to stab himself in his sleep. Two, he isn't really in the hospital, and this is some illusion that is supposed to make him comfortably give up information. Kiba didn't like either of the options, and unfortunately, the second one was the only one that makes sense.

              No visitors, doctor or otherwise had visited Kiba so far.  He grew even more lonely at the prospect of the sound invasion. Unbeknownst to him, the very cause of his predicament was standing right outside of his room's door.

               Hinata nervously stood outside of his room. What would she say to him? She can't ell him the truth, he would never forgive her! A soft touch on her shoulder almost caused her to leap  out of her skin. "Sakura!" She hissed under her breath. "What are you doing here?"

             Sakura raised her arms over her head. "Hey! Don't freak out, ok?" She rubbed her face where Hinata had struck earlier. "Against my better judgement, i decied to help you break the news."

               "How? You can't just tell me what to say, it's too complicated for that." Hinata grabbed the door handle. "I don't need your help."

              "Seriously? If it wasn't for me, you would still be in those woods feeling bad for yourself, and Kiba would be dead! So shut up and let me help."

       Hinata felt like hitting her again, but Sakura was right. "Fine, what are you going to do?"

             Sakura folded her arms. "Well, since i know Kiba's going to want the news himself, i'm going to stay out here and listen in. If it gets to the point where you need to bail, for instance, he's asking too many questions; i'll come in and take you away. Then your free to come up with an excuse ready for next time."

        "..." Hinata stood there, letting her upcoming encounter sink in. She was about to go to her boyfriend, and explain to him that instead of being manipulated by her, he stabbed himself in his sleep and was found by someone in the woods randomly.  "Ok, you stand right there, and i'll go in. Wish me luck"

             The Haruno's smile faded as soon as Hinata turned away. This was going well, with any luck, the Hyuuga would screw everything up herself. But just in case, Sakura always had a plan B.




         *Knock, Knock* Kiba jumped. He had been expecting someone, but who would walk through that door? His traumatizing experience screwed with his mind, and he was lloking around, for something to fashion into a weapon. There was no way that those sound village punks would fool him! Who ever came through taht door was going to get it.
