Note- this story is a few years after the first, Kiba's Secret-

It was a beautiful morning when Kiba Inuzuka woke up and walked outside. "Hinata? Hinata, where are you?" he called out. After a few short minutes he finally found her. "Hinata, what are you doing out here?" Asked Kiba. "... look what i've found, Kiba." said Hinata pointing over to an injured dog. "Woah, Hinata! when did you find her?" said Kiba shocked. "She's in a horrible condition." He said walking over to the dog. "I found her about an hour ago, her name's Shadow" Hinata said. Shadow was a perfect name for her, she was a dark gray, almost black. "Hmmm... did you manage to feed her, Hinata?" Kiba asked. "... yes, but just barely, she wouldnt let me feed her at first, but in the end i got her to eat." Hinata said. "thats good, now we should really give her a bath, she's filthy... but maybe we should introduce her to Akamaru first." said Kiba quietly. 'I'll go get him." So he left Hinata with Shadow and went to go find Akamaru. When he returned, Shadow was looking more scared than ever. 'It's okay, Akamaru won't hurt you, he's a good doggy, right Kiba? "... of course he is, but im not sure if Shadow think so" She was backing away from them slowly. '... Maybe its time for her bath now?" asked Hinata. 'yeah, we can try, she's still not used to us though... this is gonna be kinda hard..." At first, Shadow was restless, trying to get away every time one of them came near her, but after a while, she settled down quite a bit. They left her to with Akamaru to relax for a while. Once Kiba and Hinata got back inside, Hinata started to look nervous. '..Kiba-kun?... I... I have something to tell you...' she said getting really nervous. "Okay, is something wrong Hinata?" asked Kiba. '...no Kiba, its just i need to tell you something... but i cant..." she said. "cmon Hinata, you can tell me anything!" said Kiba happily. '...yes, Kiba i know that, it's just im not sure if i should tell you yet..." Hinata said even more quiet. "so you will tell me?" asked Kiba. "yes... but not right now... im sorry, i shouldn't have even brought it up..." It's okay, Hinata as long as you do tell me eventually, but you just tell me when your ready, i'll wait."
