I have no idea how I am still awake but I am. The varsity match was crazy, ending with us winning 3 to 0. The only person I recognized on the varsity team was Diedara, one of Itatchi's friends but he was nothing special. Actually nothing in that game was quite as spectacular as Lee and Kiba in the previous game.

I'm sitting in the gym now that has been decorated in school color streamers and posters. Music plays loudly as people dance, talk, and eat from the table of food provided.

I really didn't have the energy to come at first nor any desire to ether but when Hana insisted that we all go I really didn't have a choice. I sit here watching Hinata, Hana, Konan, and Diedara dance to the music in a crowd of people.

Suddenly I'm attacked from behind in a relentless tickle attack. I squeal and nearly fall off my seat, strong arms keeping me from doing so. "Kiba you jerk," I grumble as I smack his arms away.

He laughs loudly grabbing my hand quickly pulling me to my feet. "You didn't come here to just sit around. We're dancing." He throws over his shoulder as he drags me out to where Hinata and the others are.

I groan in protest but as Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rea comes on loudly I'm suddenly in the mood to dance. This is me and Hinata's song we always blare when she stays over. I pull her over and we start dancing like crazies, completely unaware of our classmates watching us. We do our ridiculous moves that only my bedroom walls have seen, singing to each other the whole time.

In no time were bouncing around and singing at the top of our voices along with the song. I must have some really good friends because I can hear more than just Hinata and me singing along to the course now. I look around to see that a lot of the girls in the school migrated towards us and are singing along with us.

I look at Hinata and she just laughs and shrugs. We are beginning to get closer the more people that join in and soon were all smashed together our bodies swinging and moving to the song together, not missing a beat.

The song ends and everyone cheers. The song changes into a low slow guitar strum and I see people start to pair up for a slow dance. That's then when I see Sasuke being pulled into an embrace by Kiran and they start to sway to the song.

I look away quickly, an aching pain suddenly in my chest. I want to leave now, I need to leave now. Someone grabs my hand pulling me and I swear to god if it's not Hinata I'm going to hit them.

"Hey there." A smiling Kiba says pulling me close to him as he starts to sway to the music.

My anger subsides and the pain sweeps back over me. I give him a weak smile. "Hey," I say looking away from him. I'm trying to sound happy but I don't think it's very believable. Even if it did Kiba has this strange way of knowing I'm not okay.

"Hey, don't pay attention to them," Kiba says quietly right on cue. I smile sadly that he knows me better than Sasuke ever did.

I look back at him and see he's looking at me with a concerned expression on his face. "I know, it's just..." I start to say.

Kiba pulls me closer to him. "Nope. We're ignoring them." He says with a light chuckle.

His body is warm against mine and the smell of fresh rain is strong. I inhale deeply feeling better being in his embrace. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him tightly.

He chuckles deeply. "Wow, affection. This isn't normal." He teases me as we continue to sway to the music together.

I nuzzle into him, the sadness in my chest slowly loosens its grip on me. "Hey, you like it." I tease him back. Truth is I have no idea if he does, all I know is that I do. I have no idea where that leaves me though.

This time he laughs. "Damn, how did you know?" He says in an overdramatic quizzical tone.

We sway to the rest of the song laughing and poking fun at each other, never separating our bodies. I'm strangely comfortable being so close to Kiba like this. The same protectiveness feeling overwhelms me like it does every time I'm vulnerable. I vaguely wonder if I could be starting to have feelings for him, but as soon as the thought comes Kiba spins me into the next song and soon we're dancing with the rest of our friends to Party Rock.
