(cliff, booklet, welcome)
Hana wasn't sure whether Shino scaring away the other couples with ants was endearing or infuriating. The cliff above Konoha is a favorite picnic spot for lovers young and old alike. Deciding to let her anger slide this time, the gesture was fairly crude but very romantic. It was just the two of them, the setting sun and the top of Tsunade's head. Pulling out a small booklet of poems, Shino began to read,
"...He that still may see your cheeks,
Where all rareness still reposes,
Is a fool if e'er he seeks
Other lilies, other roses.
Welcome, welcome, then…"
(Poem is William Browne's "A Welcome")

(welcome, cliff, comparison)
Hana burst into the Team 8 welcoming party 20 minutes late – face flushed, eyes sparkling – complaining about an incident at the Eastern Cliffs. Shino was unsurprised. A typical, outgoing, Inuzuka.
But in comparison to her brother, Hana was decidedly mature. She bowed to Kurenai, thanking her for taking care of Kiba. She chatted with Hinata, drawing the shy girl out of her shell.
Then she came to Shino, grinning broadly. "You've tagged Akamaru, right? I'm only asking because Kiba's still inexperienced and keeps on losing him."
And as Kiba's outraged howls filled the room, Shino found himself grinning back.

(Consequence, welcome, taste)
Shino had been careless and now he was going to have to face the consequences.
He should have known their love was not something they could keep for themselves. All those quiet evening under the moonlight, all the slow dances and candlelight dinners. It was their private business. Their love had nothing to do with the rest of the world.
Until Hana told him they were going to welcome their first baby in seven months.
Their little world was no longer exclusively theirs. But as Shino kissed Hana's growing stomach, he realized that their love will always taste like freedom.

(taste, cliff, welcome)
Shino didn't know what was going on when he woke up. The first thing he remembered was a kiss that tasted like blood. His own blood. He heard voices all around him, gradually rising in volume. His head hurt. Did something happen?
"Shino?" Called out a voice worriedly.
He tried opening his eyes, but it was hard. The pain was everywhere. Someone touched his cheek. "You fell of a cliff. I came to you as soon as I could."
He could vaguely see a familiar, but worried face. Trying to open his eyes a little more he spoke softly. "Hana..."
She smiled in relief. "Welcome back, my love."
