Chapter 1: Something Exciting Is Planned

It was early morning and Shino Aburame was finishing up his morning walk through the woods which was the time that he spent looking for new bugs he had not found before so as to expand his knowledge of all different kinds of bugs. He was nearing his house when he heard something rustling in the bushes next to him. Shino moved forward to inspect the source of the noise, little bugs flying out of his sleeves to scout out the sound before he went any closer. Suddenly, someone came tumbling out of the bushes. It was a boy, shorter than Shino, who was wearing a grey hooded coat and was holding a small dog in his arms. He stood up and turned to face Shino who was still standing where he had been when he first heard the noise. Shino recognized him as the youngest of the Inuzuka clan, Kiba. Kiba was also one of Shino's team mates. Kiba looked up and smiled vaguely at Shino as he swatted away some small flying bugs.

"Hey Shino, ain't it a little early to be attacking me with your bugs?" He asked, adding a small laugh at the end. Shino shrugged.

"Never." Kiba snorted a little at Shino's response.

"Hey, want to walk over to Rei's house to pick her up for training? I know it is early but I was thinking we could all go for early ramen since we have all day training. No lunch break is gonna be hard on me and Akamaru." He added as he looked down on the small puppy in the front of his coat. The dog looked up and Kiba and barked approvingly at the thought of early breakfast. Shino nodded and they set off towards Rei's house.

Upon their arrival Kiba stepped up to the door to knock but suddenly and without warning he grabbed Shino's arm and pulled him into some bushes beneath Rei's first floor bedroom window. Shino made a move to talk but Kiba cut him off with a finger to his lips and shushed him. "Just listen," he said and pointed up to the window where three girls could be heard giggling.

"…That is such a great idea Sakura!" Rei could be heard saying to a certain pink haired kunoichi.

"Yeah, and we could have it at your house Sakura, since your parents are leaving to visit your aunt this morning. How did you manage to get out of that anyway?" Ino asked.

"Don't ask. It is a really long story." Sakura sighed and continued on, "But yeah, lets do it at my house, tonight, be there at ten and tell all the girls!" Sakura giggled at the thought of all their female friends being gathered at her house for a sleep over.

"This is going to be great, my first sleep over!" Rei giggled.



"Yes, this is almost like an initiation process for you Rei. We have to pull out all the stops: truth or dare, gossip, boy talk, all that jazz!" Ino said while flipping her hair around to look extra girly. They all cracked up.

Kiba looked at Shino who was looking up at the window. "Do you know what this means Shino?" Kiba asked. Shino shifted his un-seen gaze towards Kiba and shrugged.

"No seeing Rei tonight after training?" He guessed. Kiba slapped his forehead at his team mates innocence.

"No, this means that we get the guys together and go spy on the girls! They said "boy talk", maybe that means they will be talking about us! Then we will get to see what they think about us!" Kiba whispered excitedly, all the while thinking of what Rei and the others would say about their male counterparts. Shino merely shrugged and turned back to the window.

The girls giggling faded and soon the front door opened causing both Shino and Kiba to jump an scurry to the back of the house. They waited about ten minutes before fetching Rei to go get breakfast, making sure to make it seem like they did not know a thing.
