Team eight was out on another mission.
Lady Tsunade had told the team there was good reason to believe that this ninja in particular was a scout from another village, planning an ambush on the Hidden Leaf Village while they were at their weakest. Not only had the mysterious intruder managed to cover up any scent that he'd been in the village at all, but he'd also gotten away with some blueprints of the Hidden Leaf Village. No other shinobi were available, so Lady Tsunade rounded up Team Eight, confiding in them that their tracking skills ought to be more than capable of finding the intruder and restoring the missing documents. The only troubling thing was the lack of evidence there was ever an intruder at all. The last words Lady Tsunade said still rang in Shino's ears.
It's no easy feat, destroying all trace of yourself. Even the most skilled shinobi leave something behind, a scent or trail of some kind. Be on your guard.
Shino's bugs rustled in his skin, picking up vibrations from the environment and constantly wary of alien movement. They communicated rudimentarily with the other insects inhabiting the forest, trading the knowledge of scent and asking if anything similar passed through recently. Unfortunately, none of the forest insects offered Shino any useful information. Gritting his teeth in frustration, Shino called out to his teammates.
"Hinata, Kiba. My bugs aren't picking up anything."
Kiba nodded in agreement, frowning. "Akumaru can't catch a scent! This guy's better than we thought."
"He must be covering his scent somehow," Hinata chimed in, her soft voice carrying through the forest. "Remember what Lady Tsunade told us? This guy is a scent-genius. Maybe I can see him." Shino saw her brow furrow in concentration, and realized she was using her byakugan. The veins in her forehead popped as her milky eyes searched beyond what Shino could see.
"Well, anything?" asked Kiba as they soared through the forest.
Hinata focused hard for a moment, then gasped. "He's up ahead! I can see his chakra!"
"How far?" asked Shino.
"A few kilometers, he's fast. But we can catch him!"
Kiba grinned, revealing sharp canines. "Leave it to me! Akumaru, let's go!"
Shino held up his arms. "Kiba, wait-"
But the boy and his dog were already blurs in the distance, sprinting blindly into danger. Shino felt a twinge of panic.
"Shino, what's wrong?" Hinata asked, her wide eyes all-seeing. It irked Shino how quickly Hinata gleaned the smallest of personal things, but in a battle situation it came in handy.
"This guy's got a few tricks up his sleeve," Shino replied, picking up the pace. "If he's somehow hiding himself from Akumaru and my insects, he's no novice."
Hinata paled. "You're right, Shino. You think it might be too much for Kiba?"
"I'm not sure."
"Oh."
"We have to go, fast. Lead the way, Hinata."
With fresh determination, Hinata nodded. "Right!" Her eyes focused as she activated her byakugan, and without missing a beat she sped up through the trees.
That Kiba, Shino cursed in his head. So reckless. So…stupid.
The two turned into a blur as they spurred onward, led by Hinata's infallible eyesight. The insects crawling beneath Shino's skin trembled with anticipation, buzzing palpably and sending vibrations Shino could feel. He didn't know what was getting them so excited, but he knew he didn't like it. There weren't tremors of happened, but of adrenaline spiked fear. Something big was coming up ahead.
"We're closing in!" Hinata shouted, preparing herself with shuriken. Shino did the same, fingers poised and ready to unleash his chakra-eating kikaichu on the intruder. This mission was already more difficult than he's anticipated. There were so many other tasks to be done in the village, and not enough man-power to compensate. The sooner the ninja caught their man, the better.
"There!" Hinata released her shuriken without hesitation, speeding through the air into the thick of trees. Shino tracked it, bracing himself for battle.
But when the shuriken found its mark, it was far from what Shino expected.
The target was clothed head to toe, his face concealed by swaths of fabric. The shuriken struck him right in the shoulder, normally a debilitating for a ninja, but the spot was covered in so much fabric that little damage was done. Several yellowed scrolls stuck out of the backpack strapped around him, which Shino quickly deduced to be the stolen documents.
Hinata threw another shuriken and the ninja barely avoided it. The ninja unleased a row of daggers at Shino and Hinata, but they were so weakly thrown and poorly aimed that Shino hardly had to leap out of the way.
Not impressive, Shino thought as he landed on a tree branch. He has almost no taijutsu whatsoever.
His fingers flexed, ready to unleash a swarm of insects so surround the stranger. But his attention was deterred the moment he spotted Kiba.
The boy was flat on his back on the forest floor, out cold.
Shino turned to Hinata. "Kiba."
Taking advantage of the distraction, the ninja threw a smoke bomb and disappeared behind the hazy veil. But this smoke bomb was different from the others Shino had encountered. It left a thick pungent scent that was almost impossible to breathe through, practically debilitating. Doubling over, Shino clutched his stomach and coughed. Beneath his skin he felt the noxious stench slowly be broke down and absorbed by his insects. He heard Hinata coughing too, and tried to search for her through the purple smoke.
He saw her small figure hunched over in agony, both hands clasped to her mouth. The first taste of the purple gas had been acrid, terrible, before Shino's insects started digesting it within him. But without anything to buffer the gas, Hinata was almost paralyzed with disgust.
Moving quickly, Shino sped to Hinata and scooped her up, leaping high above where the gas could spread. He set her down gently, resting her head against the trunk of the tree. She coughed a few more times and her blank eyes watered, but soon Hinata was able to look at Shino.
"What – what was that?"
"No ordinary smoke bomb."
Hinata coughed again. "Where is Kiba?"
"Unconscious, on the ground."
Hinata's eyes widened. She immediately stood up and focused her mind. "Byakugan!"
Shino watched as Hinata searched the forest. Then she relaxed.
"He's alive. His chakra network is still active."
Shino breathed in relief. But there wasn't time to celebrate. Their target had already disappeared deeper into the forest.
"Hinata," said Shino, thinking on his feet. "Go after the target. With your byakugan, you're the only one of us that can track him. I'll check on Kiba. We'll come after you as soon as possible. But keep your distance." Shino's glasses shone as he regarded Hinata seriously. "He seems like a weak fighter, but we don't know what he's capable of. He got Kiba and Akumaru."
Nodding, a look of determination overcame Hinata. "Right!" Without another word, she sped away through the trees and disappeared into the shadows of the forest.
She'll be fine, Shino reassured himself. She's stronger than she looks. And it won't be hard to find her with the tracking beetle I planted on her.
Shino dropped from the trees and landed gently on the forest floor next to Kiba. As he approached the boy, he realized Akumaru was knocked unconscious too just a few feet away. The poor puppy wasn't moving at all. Shino send a few insects to inspect, while he focused on his human teammate.
Kneeling down, Shino's eyes searched Kiba. The boy's face was covered in scratches, which wasn't out of the ordinary. The boy was so reckless, he was always giving himself minor injuries in training. Shino tracked the scratches on Kiba's cheeks to the red markings beneath his eyes, to the eyelids themselves. Rapid fluttering movements told Shino that even if Kiba was unconscious, his mind was still wildly active. Cautiously, Shino put a hand on Kiba's shoulder and shook.
"Kiba…Kiba…"
Suddenly a hand swatted wildly at the air, and Shino leaned back to avoid getting slapped. Kiba's eyes were still closed, but he waved his arm as though disturbed by something, trying to ward it off. As his hand passed by Shino's face with a blast of air, Shino's bugs excited. Frowning, Shino leaned in to inspect his teammate more closely. Something wasn't right...
That scent….somehow…familiar?
His insects rustled in anticipation, and Shino worried about what could make them so agitated. Carefully, he leaned down and tried to get a better sense of the smell. Shino brushed back Kiba's hood, and instantly recoiled.
What looked like stark white dust coated the inside of Kiba's jacket and hair. The white powder was left in traces on his face and neck, and when Shino looked more closely, he saw it covered all down Kiba's coat. Shino rubbed some of the powder between his fingers, inspecting it closely.
Some kind of offensive weapon? The white stuff seemed hardly as dangerous as flour.
But when he brought it to his nose, something electric shuddered through his body. It sent a jolt straight to his heart and stole his breath, as though he smelled something intensely acidic. Shino backed up, panicking, immediately trying to shake the white dust away from his hand as it clicked in his brain why the scent was so familiar.
No way…but how could he weaponize…?
Just then, Kiba groaned and sat up. Shino froze as he watched his teammate rub his head, wincing in pain. Unease spread through Shino.
"Ugh…my head…" Kiba looked up and saw Shino. His whole being changed to seriousness. "Shino! What happened? I was right on that guys' heels when he turned around and blew this…stuff… into my face. I blacked out, I don't remember-"
Suddenly Kiba's words choked off. He blinked, slowly. Shino could read Kiba's internal assessment on his face, the confusion of sensations erupting within him. Shino felt his heart sped up in his chest, beating so loudly he wouldn't be surprised if Kiba could hear it. Deliberately, Shino took a deep breath.
"Uh…hey Shino…" Kiba's voice was strangled. "I don't feel so good…I mean…" His words cut off as Kiba suddenly inhaled, involuntarily letting out a groan that sent a sudden pang of heat straight into Shino. Shrinking his head further into his jacket, Shino gritted his teeth and willed the fire away. Everything was a frenzy inside of him.
"Oh gods…oh man…." Kiba groaned, trying to stand up. His arms and legs quivered beneath him, and his face was flushed.
The sight was too much for Shino and he turned around. A few of his insects crawled back, affirming that Akumaru was alive, but knocked out. The powder must have missed the puppy, because the insects that returned were normal.
Well that's good news, at least
"Sh-Shino…"
Shino's spine went rigid as iron as Kiba called his name. The boy sounded so pathetic and weak and needy.
Is he asking me to lose control
He didn't move. He couldn't.
"…Shino…please…"
With every word, Kiba sounded more and more desperate, more out of breath. Shino braced himself to speak.
"It's pheromones. That bastard weaponized….he weaponized pheromones…"
"Shino…"
"I've never heard of it before- ah!" Suddenly Shino was on all fours, his legs buckling out beneath him. It seemed everything in him was rushing straight to his groin, making his cock throb. Shuddering, Shino felt himself get more and more aroused, his skin begging for touch.
And my contact was only second hand…
Suddenly two hands grabbed Shino roughly and threw him on his back, and Shino's suspicions were confirmed as he felt Kiba's hot lips press against his own. Unable to hold back, Shino kissed back, allowed his mouth to open and letting Kiba's tongue explore.
The boy was a messy kisser, eager and everywhere. He licked up Shino's cheek and grazed his chin with sharp teeth before ravaging his neck with vigor, biting and suckling like Shino's neck was delicious. A moan escaped Shino's lips, and through the fog he found his fingers tracing upward Kiba's jacket, trying desperately to find the zipper. Once secured, he pulled downward and was enveloped in the body heat that was pure Kiba, uninhibited by clothing. The boy was a furnace as he pressed his bare chest against Shino. Shino's mind was racing so wildly he didn't notice Kiba toying with the buttons on his own coat one by one, until they were all undone.
Roughly, Kiba pushed Shino's coat up over his head, revealing nothing but a thin shirt covering Shino's torso. There was a hungry look in his eyes as he pushed the shirt up as well, forcing Shino's glasses off in the process. Shino felt the cold slap of air on his bare skin for a second, until Kiba bent over and began toying with his tongue and lips all down the length of Shino's body. Shino's arms were still caught in the sleeves of his coat and he squirmed to free himself, but it was difficult to concentrate when Kiba's teeth grazed his left nipple.
Shino gasped at the sensation. He was so sensitive there. Kiba seemed to notice immediately, and starting eagerly kissing and sucking at the tender spot until Shino was moaning. He felt Kiba planting kisses along his collarbone and inhaled sharply when his right nipple was enveloped in warm wetness. Kiba sucked and toyed and hit a spot just right, making Shino buck his hips.
Shino's mind was spinning a thousand different ways. Everything felt so good. The insects inside him felt it as well, enhancing every sensation as they hummed about beneath his skin. Kiba's lips trailed lower, leaving cool strands of saliva down Shino's ribs and abdomen, until they stopped at the waistline of his pants.
Without warning, Kiba's hand pressed against the growing bulge in Shino's pants. Shino whimpered uncontrollably, straining his head back. His arms were still tied up in his jacket, as he'd been too distracted by Kiba's mouth to work on freeing them. He couldn't think much of anything else besides Kiba's mouth and the things it could do.
"You're so hot…" Kiba mumbled against Shino's naked stomach. "You have no idea what you're doing to me right now…"
The warmth of Kiba's breath on his bare skin aroused Shino, making his cock twitch. "I…have some…idea…"
Then before he knew what was happening, Kiba's hands were unfastening Shino's pants and sliding his underwear down with them. Shino flushed with embarrassment as his erection sprang loose, but it only bothered him for a second, because shortly afterward Kiba pressed his lips to the sensitive tip of Shino's cock.
A new stronger sensation flooded Shino and his hips rose to meet Kiba's mouth, begging for more. He was so close already, but Shino didn't care. All he could think about was rocking hard into Kiba's mouth, enveloping his entire cock in that sweet wet heat.
He shuddered at Kiba licked the underside of his length, pausing to bob Shino's tip. Then Shino felt Kiba's mouth sink deeper and deeper until his mouth was fastened around Shino's entire cock.
"Kiba!" Shino was unable to keep his voice down and Kiba started going up and down, stroking Shino's cock with his mouth.
He's…he's…
Thoughts were a blur. There was nothing but Kiba's saliva dripping and mixing with Shino's precum, the erotic sounds of sucking and squelching, Shino's rapid breathing and moans. His hips moved with a mind of their own, leaning into Kiba's mouth and pushing faster. He felt Kiba's lips press down right into his pubic hair before going up the length of his cock again to the very tip, leaving everything wanting achingly until Kiba's head bobbed again.
I can't…control…I'm going to…
"A-ah!" Shino moaned as he came, filling Kiba's mouth with cum. Everything was electric white, blank, every nerve sang. His back arched up in wonderful ecstatic release.
Shino regained his breath to see Kiba spitting out gobs of white, and his face flushed. There was so much cum, he didn't know how Kiba had held him in his mouth during his entire orgasm.
He opened his mouth to apologize, but Kiba looked up at him suddenly, His eyes were still wild with lust, and Shino saw that he had a hand around his very erect cock. Shino blinked, surprised. Kiba was so big. It was hypnotising the way Kiba's hand stroked his cock, and with a sudden pang Shino realized the pheromones were not out of his system quite yet. Precum coated the tip down the length, and suddenly Shino wanted nothing more than to have Kiba's throbbing member in his mouth. He wanted to feel the hard length of it fill up his throat.
Suddenly, Kiba grabbed Shino by the shoulders and pulled him to his knees. Shino's arms were still tied up in his coat, and he hurriedly tried to shrug them free once again, but Kiba had a different idea in mind. He fisted his fingers into Shino's hair hard enough to make Shino yelp, pulling Shino down to the tip of his erect cock. There was a needy frenzy to every action Kiba did. Shino wondered how much the pheromones had hijacked Kiba's brain, his teammate seemed hardly in control of his actions. There was nothing but base animal need.
Shino opened his mouth as Kiba pulled his head forward down the length of his enormous shaft. Saliva pooled down his chin instantly as the cock filled his entire mouth. The taste was strong and musky, but the cock itself was so hard and smooth that Shino let himself be pulled up and down again by Kiba, this time swallowing almost the entire length. Something jumped at the back of Shino's mouth as Kiba pulled himself in deeper, and he almost choked. Kiba was so big.
Then Kiba's fingers curled deeper into Shino's hair, and anticipation filled Shino. Kiba threw his head back and groaned erotically as he started face-fucking Shino, speeding up the rhythm of his hips. All Shino could do was keep his mouth open as Kiba forcefully moved his head back and forth, thrusting into it so deep that Shino could feel Kiba's cock sliding down his throat. He felt saliva dripping onto his chin with every thrust, his scalp stinging every time Kiba pulled his hair. He loved it.
"Ah…ah…ah-ah-ah"
Kiba was so loud, and every moan was incentive for Shino to keep going. He let his tongue play along Kiba's shaft as he bobbed up and down, eliciting needy gasps. Shino felt satisfaction spread through him as he allowed himself to be face-fucked. He was responsible for such…such pleasure. It was almost enough to make him hard again.
Kiba's moans escalated until he was almost screaming in pleasure, and suddenly gripped Shino's hair so tightly that pain shot through like needles. Shino moaned as hot cum spilled into his mouth. It was a salty as sea water, but surprisingly sweet, and there was a lot of it. Shino made to move his head away, but Kiba's fingers turned to iron. Without any other choice, Shino swallowed. It wasn't as bad as he expected it to be, not overly viscous, but with a bitter aftertaste,
Heaving a sigh of immense relief, Kiba released Shino and fell onto his back. The effects of everything flooded Shino and he fell forward, panting heavily. He felt as if all his energy was drained.
There was silence as the two boys were still for a moment, both immobilized by the intense mania of what had just happened. Blood thrummed in Shino's head, and he was desperately dizzy.
I need…to eat…a bowl of rice…or something
Straining to look over, Shino saw Kiba in a similar state of exhaustion. The boy looked absolutely drained, sprawled out on his back on the forest floor, flaccid cock still out.
Shino turned away immediately. "Kiba, you're…revealing yourself."
Kiba barked a laugh. "Like…like it still…would bother you…after…" Then he groaned and clutched his head. "I feel like…I fell off…a cliff…"
Shino nodded, closing his eyes and trying to focus inwardly. Perhaps his insects could provide some insight. They murmured, irritated about something beneath his skin, and Shino opened his eyes when the answer struck him. The insects were upset because they were hungry. That powder…It was such a primitive tactic, so base and animalistic that it had worked.
"Our chakra…was drained…when we…"
"Wh-what?"
"The powder, it affected our chakra…poured it into the reproductive…system…somehow…"
With great difficulty, Shino propped himself up and finally wriggled out of his coat sleeves. With as much dignity as he could muster, Shino pulled his shirt back over his head and buttoned his coat up past his chin. The added layers made him feel a bit better. When he replaced his shades, Shino could feel almost normal again, if it wasn't for that salty aftertaste in his mouth.
Shino picked himself up suddenly, brushing off any dirt the forest floor left on his clothing. "We have to go after Hinata. She might be in danger."
Alarmed, Kiba leapt to his feet. "You're right. Oh no, Hinata…Akumaru! Here, boy!"
Shino opened his mouth to tell Kiba what happened to the pup, but at that moment Akumaru sped out of the trees and right to Kiba's side.
Kiba grinned as he scratched Akumaru behind the ears. "Good boy. Smart, taking cover when we were…" Trailing off, Kiba glanced at Shino and his ears went beet red.
It struck Shino's nerves. Is he now just realizing what conspired?
Kiba cleared his throat, staring at the forest floor. "Uh, so, we don't really need to- to tell anyone what happened, right?"
Ordinarily, Shino knew it would be impertinent to tell the Hokage every detail of the enemy's attack strategies, ensuring that every possible counter-measure could be taken to prevent harm. But taking one look at Kiba, Shino knew this would be something he would take to his grave. No one could ever know how he had let dog boy Kiba fuck him in the face, and then swallow.
Shino's eyes glinted daggers behind his shades. "It never happened."
And the two boys were off through the forest, following the trail of Shino's tracking beetle to Hinata. Shino tried to refocus his brain on the mission, but Kiba's needy face kept flashing before his eyes. There was something he liked a little too much, and even now Shino could feel Kiba's presence beside him. Something was changed between them.
Shino wondered if he wasn't upset about it.
