Surprise!
When Hinata woke up that morning, she was a woman on a mission. No, not a ninja mission, but a personal mission. It was Aburame Shino's birthday, and she wanted to make sure it was his best. Everyone was in on the plan, but there was one last thing she had to do.
Getting dressed, so stepped out into the chilly morning air and briskly made her way to the Hokage's office. After gaining admittance, she put on her most pathetic look, irresistible.
"L-Lady Hokage, I have a f-favor to ask…"
-
Kiba looked out his window. There was a light dusting of snow. Quickly, he got dressed, hopping on Akamaru and going out the door. He set about his task of meeting everybody on the list, making sure they knew where to go.
-
Chouji, Shikamaru, and Ino were already off, jumping through the trees. They sooner everybody got there, the easier this will be to pull off.
-
Tsunade studied the girl carefully, and noted the determination in her eyes. It was a great idea.
"Effective immediately."
-
And so… It begins.
-----------------------
Shino woke up early, as usual, and got ready to face the day. He glanced at the calendar, January 23rd. Sighing, he slipped on his jacket and walked into the kitchen, gathering supplies to make beakfast.
"Good morning, Dad."
"Good morning, Shino. Happy birthday."
Shino smiled ever so slightly, something had his dad in a good mood, and he wasn't going to mess with it.
"Thank you."
Fixing breakfast, they both ate in silence. A knock was heard at the door. He got up and answered, finding Kiba and Hinata standing there.
"Shino, we have a mission. A delivery."
Immediately, Shino went from casual to professional.
"Hai."
You guys didn't think I'd forget Shino's birthday, did you? Naughty naughty.
