Shino wondered if he and his bugs were more like Kiba and Akamaru or Kankuro and Karasu.

Kiba was close to Akamaru and his dog worked with him willingly.

Kankuro works his puppet with strings.

If he were running out of chakra, not enough to give to his bugs and live, would they still work for him even if they would not get anything in return?

Of course, Shino did not want to test this theory but he was curious of what his bugs would do. Would they eat the rest of his chakra and go to find a new host where they could nest? Or would they fight for their right to keep Shino's body as theirs?

Shino looked at the bug that was crawling up his coat sleeve. He sighed and removed his coat and watched as all the busy bugs crawled over his body. On his chest and arms and felt them on his neck. He slid his glasses off of his nose to reveal hazel eyes.

He felt cold so unclothed out in the middle of his room. He hugged himself while centering his mind.

"How long will you work for me?" He asked his bugs not expecting an answer. They just continued on with what they were doing.

"Are we friends or you my employees?

Will you protect me and fight for me when I'm down or you only do as I command when I have something to offer?

If I was in harms way would you have any emotion or will you just care about living and breeding?"

There was no answer.

Shino stood in the center of his room wondering.

What were his bugs to him?

What was their relationship?

Because he knew in his heart that emotionally he never wants to part with his "friends."

AN: This is just a hought I had once. Do Shino's bugs have emotion? Do they care about him? I dont know was just something I was thinking about. I was thinking of making this longer. If I get at least seven reviews then okay, maybe.
