Okay I have no idea where this came from but oh well. It's another ShinoKiba kind of story. So yea...

Disclaimer- dude dont own anything get over it


Shino walked into the hospital quietly. He stopped at the desk. "Where's Inuzuka Kiba?"

"Room 203," said the obviously bored desk attendant. Shino nodded his thanks. He began walking down the corridors and observing what he saw. Tenten was crying silently outside the operating room Neji was in. Temari and Shikamaru were talking outside of the room where Chouji was.

"S-Shino-kun, are you go-going to see Kiba-kun?" asked Hinata. Shino nodded. "He has a d-deep wound, b-but it's not fa-fatal. Kiba-kun is s-sleeping now." Hinata walked away to check with a nurse if Naruto was back yet.

Shino opened the door and saw Kiba sleeping peacefully in the bed. He sat down in the chair next to Kiba. Kiba stirred and opened his eyes.

"Hey there," said the Inuzuka. He sat up in the white hospital bed.

"Lay down." commanded Shino stoically. Kiba just rolled his eyes.

"I'm not dying you know. It's just a wound." Despite what he had just said, Kiba laid back down. The room was eerily silent.

"You're not usually this quiet." Shino remarked. "What happened during that fight?" Kiba turned his head toward him.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." replied Kiba with a smile. Kiba's smile faded quickly though.

"I really didn't think I was coming back. I was going to die back there because I was to weak to fight him off." Shino's eyes widened from behind his glasses.

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Shino. "You're acting very strange."

"Don't worry about me. Must be this pain medicine they gave me…messing with my head." replied Kiba. "Why are you worried about me?"

"Because you're my teammate, now shut up." Silence hung in the air once again. His eyelids began to feel heavy. "I'm so tired."

"Just go back to sleep." Kiba shook his head. He knew the medicine was beginning to kick in.

"No, wanna…talk to you." Shino put his hand on Kiba's shoulder.

"Go to sleep. I'll be back after you wake up." said Shino.

"Promise?" asked Kiba groggily. Shino nodded. "Nigh' Shino-kun." Kiba closed his eyes and almost immediately fell asleep. Shino stared at the younger boy, listening to Kiba's even breaths. The Aburame stroked Kiba's hair.

"Kiba, I love you." It was the closest Shino could get to actually telling Kiba how he really felt. Shino bit his lip and left the room to get something to drink.


Kiba's eyes fluttered open and he saw Shino wasn't there. The sky had turned dark and it was night now. He blinked a few times to clear his vision. He turned to the nightstand and saw a note from Shino, explaining why he wasn't there. Kiba smiled softly and laid his head back down

"I love you, Shino. Why is it so hard for me to tell you?" Kiba closed his eyes and went back to sleep, the note still in his hand.


Yeah, that was weird but R&R please!
