Through the door.

Hina's house was very traditional, lots of sliding doors, paper windows and dark wood. It wasn't hard for Kiba to approach Hina's room, rapping loudly on the sliding door and waiting patiently to see if she would answer. After a pause and a soft, "Just a moment!" he found the door sliding over, Hina's pale face blinking up at him next.

"Hey."

"Hi. What are you doing here?" She asked, stepping aside. Kiba walked in, toeing off his sandals in the entry way. Compared to outside Hina's room was slightly cool, but only just barely. He was familiar enough with the layout, years of being team mates meant a few impromptu late night meetings at everyone's house at some point or another. It had been a while since he'd been in, but little had changed. Hina's taste reflected the minimalistic decor of the rest of the manor, walls pinned with framed dried flowers, desk covered with a few tightly rolled scrolls. The only new additions were an electric fan running on high and a small radio near Hinata's bed, the sound of which was nearly drowned out by the fan.

"I was in the neighborhood," Kiba finally answered as he sat down on the floor directly in front of the fan. Hina, nonplussed, left the room briefly to return with a glass of water for Kiba. He drank it down in three gulps, feeling Hinata's eyes on him as she sat across from him on the floor.

"You're one of the only ones then," she came back with, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear only to have it fall forward again, framing her face. "Almost everyone's up in our summer house..."

Kiba watched her eyes and her trail of thought wander off. "Why didn't you go?" he said.

"Well... to be honest, with my sister and dad gone, I can finally get some work done," she said, motioning to the scrolls on her desk. They were all still firmly closed.

"Looks like you're getting a lot done," Kiba said, a grin of sarcasm on his face causing Hinata to let out a defeated laugh.

"Yeah... When it's this hot I can barely concentrate," she admitted, shifting her body slightly. Compared to Kiba, who was wearing as little as he could get away with, Hinata wore a skirt that reached well below her knees and a light summer jumper. She looked a bit overdressed.
