Ino and the others were helping Sakura regain her lost memories. TenTen suggested they all dress as she remembered them, much to everyone's dismay.

Shino laid on the ground; wallowing in pain. A Venus Fly-Trap had just eaten one of his beloved insects.

"Hang in there, Shino," a voice said "We're in the same boat here."

He looked and saw Hinata crouching above him, dressed in the most alluring outfit he had ever seen her in.

"Hinata?"

"Sakura said I used to wear dresses like this all time." She squirmed a bit.

He simply stared on, unaware of the plant eating two more flies.

"Well, I'll see if I can find Kib—"

"Wait!" He grabbed her wrist. She looked at him with wide eyes.

"I-I mean —" He couldn't think of something and let her go.

"Shino ..." She turned sideways, rubbing her arm.

They stood in silence for a while, the rustling of leaves and footsteps filling an otherwise dead atmosphere.

"H-Hinata."

She bit her lip. Turning around, she crouched, lifting the bottom portion of her dress. Underneath were a pair of stark-white panties.

"H-Hinata!"

"It's okay," she said, red and flustered. "I — don't mind."

"B-But ...!"

She placed her finger on his mouth. "We shouldn't out here," she said. "come."

She led towards a tall tree near far from the park. Shino strudded hazily long; his face buried deep into his jacket collar.

"Now, where are those to going?" Kiba said as he watched them exit.
