ok, well this is a first shino sasuke one shot type of thing that i thought that i'd put it in two... maybe three parts, but i dont want to make it into a story.


Sasuke X Sino

One shot

With all the leaves on the ground it looked like a school kids painting rather than a fall scene. Sasuke looked around and tightening his forehead protector he took a step toward the training grounds. He had to meet his team, seems they were going on a mission. When he got to the meeting area only Shino was there, he raised an eyebrow and Shino nodded in response. He noticed it was getting colder by the minute and he sat on the ground by Shino. Soon Sakura and Hinata got there, followed by Kiba, and the latest Naruto. They only had to wait on their team leaders Yuuhi Kurenai and Hatake Kakashi to get there, but it seemed to take them forever. Kurenai usually wasn't this late, as Kiba kept mentioning.

"Shoot, she usually comes before I do!" He exclaimed for who knew how many times.

"Kiba… You've only mentioned that 47 times, now shut up, sit down and stop complaining!" Sakura snapped at him. She was getting really annoyed by his constant whining. He looked her over for a minute and snorted in response. He turned away and noticed Akamaru was nowhere in sight. He went off in search of his companion while Hinata kept trying to keep Naruto's attention.

"Na-Naruto…?" He looked over at her, trying to take a nap he wasn't in the mood to talk.

"Hn…" She shifted closer so she was sitting in the sun's way, even though it wasn't that bad today. He closed his eyes again and tried to sleep.

"Would you like to use my lap as a pillow?" She asked, her index fingers poking each other. He opened an eye and smiled at her. He wasn't all that energetic today so he wasn't all happy-go-lucky like usual. Shifting his head he placed it in her lap and she started running her hand through his hair, making him drift off to sleep all the more faster.

"Damn where the hell did that troublemaker go?!" Sakura mumbled as she looked around before heading off to look for Kiba, hoping to find him before their sensei's get there. Sasuke cocked an eyebrow at them all and just sat back against the closest tree. As his eyes closed he noticed Shino sitting down beside him, curiously looking him over. Sasuke narrowed his eyes as he tried to pin point the look in Shino's eyes, he's often seen it, it was that familiar, but damn he just could not tell what it was! He was about to fall asleep when there was two distinct poofs nearby. He sat up slightly and peered at who was there. Kurenai and Kakashi were standing there waiting on the attention to be forced their way.

"Where's Sakura?" Kakashi asked, glancing around in that sheepish way of his.

"And Kiba?" Kurenai looked at Hinata and got a shrug in return.

"He went looking for Akamaru…" Sakura said, coming into view. There was a cut on her arm, just below the shoulder and they all looked at it, wondering what she did. After coming to stand by Hinata and Naruto; who has yet to wake up; she yawned and was about to sit down when something hit her. "Ouch! What the Hell!!" She turned around to find Akamaru sitting on a nearby rock. "Why you little pain in th-" She was inturupted by an arm around her waist.

"Calm down, gosh, got to get worked up about nothing." Kiba's voice calmed her as she turned back around and sighed.

"Well, now that we have you all here, we have three missions, each one only needing two each. So me and Kakashi have decided to split you all up, and see how you do, working with new team members would help in future missions, I'm sure." Kurenai stood, a hand on one hip as she looked at the two teams.

"As it may be, it looks to me as if they've already picked their partners!" Kakashi exclaimed, eyeing each of them. Sasuke and Shino sitting against a tree observing them all; Naruto asleep on Hinata's lap, with a red faced Hinata; a very annoyed Sakura in Kiba's grip.

"Your right and well I was hoping that Hinata and Sakura would team up, but this works, Naruto is girly enough." Kurenai said off handly. At the mention of his name he snorted and shifted, turning his head away from Hinata and started drooling.

"Well he's dreaming of ramen and well I guess we should get our missions from you now." Sakura said. She shimmied out of Kiba's grip and walked over to Kakashi. She held out her hand and he placed a scroll in it. She walked back to kiba as Kakashi threw Hinata hers. Kurenai threw one to Shino and he caught it, only moving his 

hand a bit. Sakura and Kiba jumped into the trees and Hinata woke Naruto up waiting for him to take in that they'd been dismissed. Only Shino and Sasuke noticed Kakashi and Kurenai leave, and they waited for Hinata to drag a still groggy Naruto off in a different direction, opening the scroll as they went.

Shino got up and handed the opened scroll to Sasuke, he read it quickly and stuffed it in his pocket before standing up and nodding to Shino who inturn took off in the direction they needed to go. Sasuke sighed, wondering why they had to do this d ranked mission.
