Hinata sighed as Shino and Kiba frowned simultaneously at a passing boy in the village. They haven't gotten over it yet, Hinata thought to herself exasperatedly.
"You better walk away, shitbag," Kiba muttered darkly as his stare followed the unaware citizen strolling through the crowded streets. Shino only continued to frown behind his collar, but he, too, had his eye trained on the seemingly innocent civilian. The boy they were watching continued on with his daily routine, not knowing that his life was oddly in danger by the hands of an Inuzuka and an Aburame. With a trained ear, as well as a few bugs to relay information, they listened in on something the boy was telling to his friends.
"It was so funny! Her expression was priceless!" The boy chortled as his friends joined him in snickering at the incident he was describing. Kiba growled openly, Akamaru joining him, as Shino's hidden frown only deepened. Hinata sighed once more at her two male teammates, knowing what they were listening in on and having had already gotten over it. She had to smile lightly at their antics, though. Her sensei, Kurenai, had witnessed one of these processions going on for another incident and had commented on how cute it was that Hinata had her own two personal bodyguards willing to use their spectacular tracking skills for something so seemingly trivial. Her fellow kunoichi agreed wholeheartedly and expressed just how lucky the Hyuuga girl was.
"Little fucker. Next time he does it, I'ma kick his ass from here to the Hidden Village of Jackasses," Kiba remarked to his two other male companions. "Nobody gets away with hurting our Hinata." Shino nodded in agreement at that, and Hinata blushed at their concern.
"He will atone for his misdoings thoroughly," Shino stated in a somewhat strained voice. It was not every day that one got to see the stone wall that is Shino Aburame express such emotion over something so dumb. Then again, Kurenai had mentioned to Hinata that only she had this much power over the two boys. Hinata pulled herself out of her thoughts to hear Kiba growling and Shino's insects buzzing louder than usual. She glanced below at the boy and his friends to see them making lewd gestures that caused her to blush. Upon further inspection, and close hearing, she found that they were talking about a new nurse at the hospital.
"Shit! His ass is about to get kicked so hard!" Kiba made to jump down to where the boy continued his gesturing, many of which were becoming increasingly inappropriate. Shino seemed to have a similar mindset, except he had a swarm of bugs surrounding him, buzzing angrily.
"Agreed," was all Shino said.
"W-wait! They aren't talking about what you think!" Hinata cried frantically, hoping that they would listen to her. Her voice seemed to do the trick, though, because they both turned to her abruptly.
"Hinata, don't defend that little shit! He doesn't deserve to live!" Kiba grunted towards her, though he tried to speak more softly.
"It is inappropriate of him to make such gestures. He must be punished."
"H-he's referring to a new nurse a-at the hospital…" There was a silence upon them for a moment. Shino's bugs withdrew quickly and he turned his attention back to the target as if nothing had happened just seconds ago. Kiba, on the other hand, merely turned his head away and folded his arms defiantly across his chest. The boy below them was waving his friends off before walking away in the opposite direction.
"I'm still not forgiving him, though. Seriously, if that bastard tries it again, I'll shove his foot so far up his ass, he won't be able to walk."
"We do not forgive him," Shino stated softly, repositioning his glasses with his finger. Hinata frowned. Of course they wouldn't let it go; it was just like them to hold a grudge like this.
"He didn't do anything that bad…" At this, Kiba and Shino looked somewhat appalled.
"He tripped you. He fucking tripped you!" Kiba then let out a long tirade about the injustices of the boy's actions as Hinata sighed again for what seemed like the nth time that week.
It had been a whole week, and neither of her teammates had gotten over it.
