Prologue

Aburame Shino is mysterious. Yes, that's what people always thought of him. Why? Well, it's simple. Just take a look at him, a silent, uncaring, and secretive boy, and that's exactly how you will describe him. Mysterious. It's not only the people around him who don't know his habits, his hobbies – other than his fondness to insects, of course – hell, even his face is still a mystery to them. With the exception of his parents and his siblings, not even the two people he trusts the most, Hinata and Kiba, had seen him without his coat and glasses – in other words, no one had seen his face.

His parents knew that Shino preferred to be left alone, and that's why they never bothered him with thousands of questions parents usually threw at their children; Where have you been? What are you doing? Where are you going? – they respected him, trust him to make his own decisions, and that's why; when he – Aburame Shino – decided to leave the house with a totally different look one day, they said and did nothing – because it's his choice, and even though they could not resist raising their eyebrows at him, they only regarded him with a simple message; be back before dinner.

It's been two months since he found his new freedom.

It's an ordinary summer day, and Shino, - somehow had managed to run away from Kiba's summer routine, endless training, according to Kiba – (but if you ask Shino, he will answer that it's more like rolling around in dirt) – and so, he decided that it would be way easier for him to escape the dog boy by taking off his coat, and walk around the village – unnoticed by everyone. He went home, dumped his grass scented clothes, and grabbed a t-shirt and a short. Immediately he rushed to his front door, because he somehow had a nagging feeling that his annoying team mates, - Akamaru and Kiba (if he may point out, the former's way better than the later)- was heading towards his home with full speed. He passed the living room, where his father was reading the news paper. Sensing his son's presence, he looked up.

"Shino," he said.

Shino halted in mid steps and turned to face his father. "Yes father?"

"Don't forget to bring the sample to the hokage, it's Saturday."

"It's in my back pocket," he replied shortly, and then he rushed off, leaving his father chuckling at his impatience. Many would think that behind all those calm demeanor, Shino was a patient person, well – maybe he was, compared to his team mates – but the truth was that Shino only had a slight difference of attitude than Kiba, but while Kiba literally expressed his feelings by all those shouts and yells, Shino found it 'troublesome' – quoting Shikamaru – to use his voice like that.

The tall lean boy exited his house. Keeping his chakra low, he ran to the opposite direction from Kiba's and he immediately ducked into an alley near Ichiraku ramen, hoping that the dog boy would just go and build a mud-castle by himself without dragging him along.

Five minutes past until he sensed Kiba began to head to the forest with Akamaru. Breathing with relief, he came out from the alley, and started to walk to the lab's direction.

Without his dark glasses and coat that covered his whole body, he walked through the village with his hands in his pockets. He had a pale complexion, but other than that, his face was what everyone could describe as handsome, though judging by the amount of girls and the way they looked at him as he walked, his cold expressionless face was hot. No one had ever thought that a Shino owned a very cool face. His gaze was intense and cold, and his hair was a bit messy. Really, he's very handsome.

Cringing at the amount of attention – he still had not gotten used to it yet – he picked up his pace, flash stepping to the laboratory. He really wanted to drop the sample as soon as possible so he could escape and take his leisurely walk in the forest before night comes.

At the lab, he met the fifth hokage, but she was not alone because Sakura was with her. They seemed to be conducting an experiment, about what, he did not even want to know. Tsunade looked at him with confusion.

"Forgive me, but who are you? What's your business in this lab?"

"I'm here to replace Shino dropping off the sample, he, uh, had a bad stomach." he lied, aware of her disbelieving gaze. Yeah, 'a bad stomach' was definitely not a convincing answer. They were quiet for a short moment before she seemed to shrug her curiosity off.

"Oh, that bee. Okay then, thank you."

Shino handed her the sample before he turned around to leave the laboratory without responding to her thanks.

Apparently, Sakura was confused.

"Sorry sensei, who is he?" She asked curiously. "I had never seen him before.."

"He said he's Shino's replacement. I actually had never seen him before too, but it seems that he's also from the Aburame clan," she answered.

She noted how her apprentice's eyes sparkled. "Mmm… are you interested in him? I mean, he's not bad, definitely better than your last crush." Tsunade teased her.

Sakura's cheeks reddened, "Let's just continue the project, sensei." She quickly changed the topic, relieved when her teacher gave no objection to her suggestion.

Sakura was very curious. Tsunade's definitely right, she thought he was handsome too. And like all normal girls, she's attracted to handsome guys. BUT WHO THE HECK IS HE?
