Author's Note:

I'm currently working on a drabble challenge over on TONFA.

I still have a long way to go before I finish the whole set but I thought I would share the ones I have finished so far.

A Drabble is defined as a story exactly 100 words long.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the characters. I just write for your entertainment.

Butterfly

Shino looked up when he felt the whisper of something brush against his face. Dark, mercurial eyes widened in surprise as the butterfly floated past and landed on his hand, unafraid of him.

Such fearlessness, he admired.

Shino tilted his lips in a semblance of a smile. It was good to see that not everyone was scared of his presence.

He couldn't change who he was and what he held inside his body than he could change the color of the butterfly's wings or the seasons.

Like the butterfly, he was free to be himself and that suited him fine.
