Authors Notes: Hey all! Hope you guys are having a good day. It's been snowing like crazy over here, but otherwise doing good. Anyways, I started writing some larger drabbles/mini oneshots in honor of Tenten's episode last week. So here's the first one I hope you guys like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto characters.

It wasn't easy being a hero. Whereas being a ninja had always come easy to Shino, with exact rules, methods, and room for improvising. He knew when to act, when to wait and what to watch for. With being a hero though, he wasn't sure what to do. Or rather, how to handle the backlash.
"Well? You must have some reason for jumping in like that!" Tenten growled, her hands on her hips and her dark eyes flashing.
Shino pushed up his glasses, fighting the urge to swallow hard.
"I thought you were in danger. Why? Because you were falling and your eyes closed. Naturally I assumed you had been rendered unconscious."
"It's called free fall training!" she snarled, taking a step forward and it took a conscious effort on his part to stand his ground. "I knew exactly what I was doing, and I don't need you, or anyone to save me!"
Now came the lecture and rant about how she was perfectly capable of doing everything he was, and how they were both chuunin. At least she hadn't started hitting him yet. That had to be a good sign. But from the way she abruptly ended her tirade, and invited him to spar with her, Shino had a feeling that was going to change very soon.
End of one.
Hope you guys enjoyed, please let me know what you thought, there's more to come.
Be Blessed
