Beneath the Willow Tree

By: Nikkii-Love706

Chapter 1-

It was a hot summer day in Konoha, it was probably one of the hottest days in the past 7 years when the temperture had reached a high of 103 degrees. Today though it was 105 and Shino Aburame was having a very difficult time, even if he wont show it. The heat was causing his skin to become rather agitated. It was nearly driving him mad but he had to keep up the aburame image. He desperatly wanted to get out of his high collared coat and hoodie, but couldnt do so in public. And that's when he thought of his secret place, the only spot he could really be himself. And he was the only one that knew where it was, it was perfect.

Shino slowly made it through the woods, stopping every now and then to talk with random bugs along the way. He finally reached his secret and very special spot. From where he stood on the edge of the small clearing, he could see the lake that occupied most of the area. The water looked crystal blue with small Koi fish swimming in circles, the lilly pads swayed with each ripple on top of the water. It was absolutly beautiful.

And right next to the lake was a rather large willow tree with its long vine like branchs that drooped over the edge of the lake and the grass, the branchs acted as a curtainto the outside world. He walked carefully trying to enjoy the peace to his and only his special tree, while stripping himself of his large jackets. He was left in nothing but his blackpants and mesh shirt. He parted the branchs and slipped in, within was almost as beautiful as outside. Inside there was little rays of light slicing through the shade, the lucious and green grass surrounded the trunk of the tree. He sighed in relief as the shade and coolness wrapped around him. He relaxed against the trunk, his shoe's were kicked of and his toes seeped in to the coolness of the grass. His pale fingers playing with the grass and his head rested against the solid, light brown trunk.

Shino Aburame was completely at peace. He was surrounded by beautiful scenery and water. Letting his mind wander, he thought of the one hing that could possibly make this even more perfect, Shino's crush, the famous dog-loving boy, Kiba Inuzuka. Yes, a boy and it his team mate, Kiba.

Shino realized that he was in love with his best friend since way before the chuunin exams. He knew there was absolutely no chance in hell that Kiba could like him back. Plus, Kiba was basically in love with Hinata. 'Even so, I could daydream about him, right?' Shino sighed, "...I hope I can." He was torn from his thoughts when he heard rustling and foot steps. He was immediately in ninja mode. He scanned the clearing and was surprised to see a shadow like figure walking in to the clearing. He attempted getting a better look by sending one of his bugs to investigate. The bug fluttered and landed on the tree nearest the figure. It slowly made its way back, landing on his finger and whispering in his ear. Shino gasped and focused back on the shadow. 'It cant be, am I still daydreaming?' At that moment the figure stepped from the shade of the trees, his face was now completely visible. 'It really is him! It's Kiba!!!' Shino's heart was speeding about a mile a minute, 'Kiba, in my secret spot! Im so happy.' He let out a the breath that he hadnt even realized he had been holding. He leaned back in to the trunk and watched Kiba.

Kiba slowly walked to the edge of the lake. Shino could see a slight smile playing on his lips. Kiba kicked off his shoes a few feet away from where he was standing. He slipped off his jacket and tossed it with over next to his shoes. Shino was nearly drooling at the sexy sight before him. He watched as Kiba pulled off his tight shirt and slipped off his pants, he was left in nothing but boxers. 'Oh. My. God.' This sent Shino to heaven and back. Kiba slowly walked into the water, not at all like the normal Kiba that Shino was used to seeing. It was as if he was testing the water instead of doing the spontanous Kiba thing. Kiba stopped moving when he was waist deep and swayed with the ripples of the water, his hands skimming the surface. He then dove right in with a large splash. Shino couldnt help but smile at the randomness.

Shino watched as Kiba swam around, looking like the happiest guy in the world. He closed his eyes to stop the thoughts of joining Kiba in a little swim. When he opened his eyes and scanned the water he couldnt locate Kiba, it was as if he had dissapered. 'Did he go under?' Shino was becoming slightly frantic, that was until he noticed the bubbles near the edge of where he sat under the tree. Kiba surfaced and flipped his crazy mop of brown hair. His eyes landing right on Shino, they both froze in there spots. 'Oh no, he found me!' Shino was feeling very exposed, he wasnt wearing his jackets and he was thankful that he hasnt removed his glasses. "Um," Kiba broke the silence snapping Shino from his thoughts, "Shino what are you doing here?" Shino blushed alittle, "Uh well I was re-relaxing." He watched as Kiba slowly walked out of the lake dripping and looking absolutely amazing.

"Can I join you, Shino?" He didnt even hear Kiba he was to focused on Kiba's drenched boxers clinging to his legs and other places. "Shino? Are you alright?" he was waving his hands in front of Shino's face. Shino nodded, "Sorry I just kind of got....." He stopped to think of a perfect word, "distracted." Kiba smiled and settled in next to Shino, rather close I might add. "Soooooo, Shino?" He looked up, "Yes, Kiba?" He looked down at his hands as though he was shy and was fiddeling with the grass. Shino had the perfect chance to take in the boy before him and he was happy with what he could see, though he did have to resist kissing Kiba. "Sh-Shino you look really g-good without your jackets." Kiba stuttered alittle like Hinata and he was about as red as a tomato. "Thank you, Kiba!" He purred out the name and Kiba blushed even more, if thats even possible. Shino just snapped and lifted Kiba's chin up to look at him. And what he saw was a sexy and wt man before him. He just couldnt help what he did next. He leaned in and placed a light kiss to the others lips. Shino looked in the other boys eyes after he leaned back and he noticed that in his eyes were shock, fear and some other emotion he couldnt exactly place. Shino backed away and grabbed his stuff. He looked back at the frozen boy still sitting on the ground and whispered' "Im sorry Kiba." And he bolted from beneath the willow tree and kept running.
