Once there was a boy. Strange to the eyes of others, strange in the eyes of his kinsmen. Too emotional to be cast in the mold of his clan. Too stoic in the eyes of others. This was the child of two worlds, belonging to the Hive but not at one with it; Belonging to the world outside, but too reserved to partake of it. Until he was assigned his own team.

This was the boy they called Aburame Shino.

Once there was a girl. Warm and wild like the sea breeze. She spent her days befriending seal cubs and learning the ways of the steel. She always dreamt she would one day climb to the top of the tallest mountain and bring home a flower from the peak for her baby sister. Until she met a shinobi of the Leaf.

She was the one who bore the name Tenten.


This is a series of vignettes whose origin is from the 30kisses site at livejournal. This is the Theme Set Upsilon. The core theme of this Theme Set is "Happily ever After" and I will be using these themes to try writing a ShinoTen story. The summary was me paraphrasing a quote by Jean-Paul Sartre.

Let me know what you think.
