The sun was just shining into the Aburame household. Bang! The young heir shot out of his bed, his ever present kikai circling around him protectively. Damn if he blew up the toaster again, I will kill him. he called the small kikai into his body again, every time they went in through his skin it made a small tingle go through his body, releasing small doses of endorphins into his blood stream making every time the kikai came out or went back in enjoyable not painful.
Shino walked out form his quite large room into a dimly lit hallway heading to the kitchen. The kitchen was very spacious with a large table in the middle with enough room for twelve people. Two stoves were to the right of the head table position, and that is where he saw a gruesome sight all across the walls were pieces of bacon, toast and something he didn't want to identify. But in the middle of the kitchen sitting down at the head of the table sat his dad, in his trademark dull green coat and high collar. "Son do you want some breakfast" Shibi asked with a straight face, Shino on the other hand did not his mouth was set into a wide grin.
A few seconds later and Shino was laughing so much his sides started hurting, his dad on the other hand had a scowl on his face "what is so funny?" Shibi yelled getting to his feet and walking over to his son who was trying to regain his breath "youth these days" he mumbled standing in front of shino who had only just regained his breath "so what is so funny?"
"Oh nothing, just thought of something Kiba said the other day" he said in a matter of fact tone. The only reply from his dad was a raised eye brow. Knock! Knock! Thank god I can get away. Shino quickly went to his room put on his slightly brighter collared green coat then his dad and walked to the door. The first thing he saw when he opened the door was a spiky ponytail sticking in front of his face, he loudly cleared his throat to get the attention of the stranger. The stranger turned around to reveal the laziest shinobi in the leaf, Shikamaru Nara "do you need anything?" shino asked in a monotone
"um yeah… um some of the guys are going on a mission. I was wondering if you would want to come along" he said lifting his head to look up at the clouds, did he just blush? No definitely seeing things.
"That depends on two things. Number one who will be going along, Number two what is the specifics?" he said looking into the sky to see what Shikamaru was looking at, he saw nothing but clouds.
"Well I know that lee, Gai, Kakashi, Neji, myself and you if you wont to" he looked down from the sky and into Shino's glasses "the mission is A class, but it might turn S if the situation changes. We have to eliminate a small group of missing Nin's , that have started attacking genin from various villages that go near their supposed area" he said a scowl covering his usually placid appearance. "So far three genin from the sand have been killed, two from the sound and so far none from the here but that might change so we have to track them down and eliminate them or capture".
Shino contemplated all the information that Shikamaru had told him, he wanted to go and catch the scum that would pick on genin. Shino was just about to answer when another Bang! Came from inside presumably from the kitchen "Shino, we need a new toaster again" yelled Shibi from the inside of the Aburame compound.
"I'll kill him" shino muttered seeing his dad walk out to the door where he and Shikamaru were standing. Shibi calmly walked over to shino and handed him a wallet full of money before nodding to Shikamaru.
"Hello Shikamaru, what brings you here on this cloudy day?" he said everyone knew of Shikamaru's love for cloud watching. Shibi never got the point on watching clouds but his IQ wasn't nearly as high as the lazy nin.
"I was just asking if Shino wanted to go on a mission"
"Ah I see. I think you should go Shino, it has been a while since you left on a mission" he said looking at his son was looking through the wallet to see how much money was in.
"Shino are you even listening to me?" he said glaring at his son who had taken the money out and was slowly counting away. The only reply was a mumble; he glanced at the young Nara who was trying to suppress a grin from breaking out. Youth. He slowly raised a hand being careful not to alert shino than. Slap shino snapped his eyes open to glare at his father, while Shikamaru was laughing.
"Yes dad what were you saying" not taking his eyes of the elder Aburame who had a grin on his face.
"oh nothing" he said walking inside. Shikamaru meanwhile was speechless the usual silent and intimidating Aburame were joking and friendly. He never thought that was possible but who was he kidding he had seen more shocking things. Like Ino and Chouji making out. "So do you want to come on the mission?" he asked casually looking back at the clouds.
"Yes. I think I need to get away from here. When do we leave?" he asked slightly puzzled at the reason Shikamaru kept looking at the sky, but didn't dwell on it for long as Shikamaru's answer
"Tomorrow at the gates. At six am, you will need a travel pack it might take a while". and with that Shikamaru left the compound feeling slightly happier that Shino was coming along.
