Takes place a few days or so after Hinaji and Kureno have their talk.Once again Hinaji found himself pacing while he waited to have a difficult conversation. He knew Kureno had been right about needing to figure things out for themselves, but waiting for Kiba to arrive so they could discuss things was as difficult as actually trying to talk to his

"Hey," she grinned to him, seeing him at the post; he looked nervous almost. "What's up?"

He waited until they were both comfortably next to each other before he plucked at the grass in front of him, not quite looking at Kiba.
"I thought, um. A-about before. Maybe we should talk about it..."

He fidgeted some more but didn't look away. "It's just,um. I just..." He could feel his face turning all shades of red. "I liked it, um. But I'm not sure, um..." He trailed off, realising he was only making things worse, and let his eyes fall back to the grass in front of her.

"Y-yeah..." And a place to go as well as those other things. He didn't want to be spotted kissing Kiba, let alone...anything else. His mother hadn't said anything yet, but he could hear it now if she found out about things like that. Poor Enka wouldn't leave his room for a week.
