Chapter 6
Shino awoke slowly and stood up. He looked around him to see Kiba's cousin dead, his dog next to him. Shino had to get to Kiba, and fast.
Kiba was already on his way to the lake, he was supposed to meet up with everyone to share his plan on how to get him and Hinata together. Akamaru was with him as they jumped the trees, as they drew closer they both sensed something was wrong, and they knew doubly so as Kiba passed all three of the branch family members, Neji just as brightly as the day he beat Rock Lee without using his Byakugan. Kiba doubled his pace and came upon the clearing, Shino was covering up the two fallen Inuzuka clan members with his coat and wiping the tears from his cheek as Kiba came sliding into view, he didn't wait as he saw Shino turn with a look of failure on his face. Kiba jumped back into the forest and started after the branch members, especially Neji. Shino knew what was happening and took off after him; he was far back but was able to keep Kiba in view. If Kiba got to the three of them he'd get killed, and that's not what Shino was going to wait by and see happen again. A thousand destruction bugs came flying out of Shino and into the air, Kiba and Akamaru used their beast technique and though it would be tough, they would try to kill every one of them. Kiba and Akamaru came upon a clearing and landed in the center. Suddenly there was a barrage of Kunai and shuriken thrown at them. As the attack came to a halt the only thing left were two logs, covered in the weapons. The two branch members, Natsuko and Nobu shook their head from their hiding places. There was a sudden breeze and both of them were flung into the clearing. Kiba and Akamaru came around the sides and hit them before they used their Byakugan. The two looked at each other and smiled, "Let's bring his head to Neji." Nobu said with a smile, "you know he'll put us as Hinata's suitor if we bring it to him." Kiba smiled and his fangs flashed. "What makes you think you'll be taking my head anywhere?" He crouched low to the ground and growled; Akamaru did the same. "It's time to show you the power of the Inuzuka clan." Within a second, Kiba and Akamaru had dashed at the two members. Nobu was faster and managed to dodge, but Akamaru tuned his attacked to collide with Kiba, who was shoving Natsuko back. He was crushed between the two beasts, his ribs splintering inside his body. Nobu landed behind Kiba and stood at the stance that finished Hige. "Time to show you what we're ma-." He was cut off as hundreds of Destruction bugs clung to his body, destroying his chakra, devouring all that he had to offer them. Nobu fell to the ground screaming out, just as Shino came into view. "Thanks Shino," Kiba said with a smile. "But I've got to get to Neji; he's the one I want." Shino nodded, "Don't worry; I'll dispose of these two." Kiba took off and Shino started to set the weakened bodies next to each other. "Have you ever seen a thousand fire notes? Didn't think so, it will be the last thing you see." Shino jumped into the back trees again just as the sky turned dark, a thousand destruction bugs came flying from all sides, each strapped with a fire note, they circled the two and then closed in on them lining the screaming boys with fire notes, then they went off, the bright orange glow was so fast that it made the clearing grow twice its size and also burn itself out. Shino looked into the clearing, there was nothing left of the bodies. "Don't mess with friends of the Aburame clan." He took off towards Kiba, knowing that he'd need help; he only hoped he'd make it in time. Just as he started, four ANBU jumped around him "You're wanted for questioning, regarding the death of Inuzuka Hige and Inuzuka Aomaru, your jacket was found with them. Come with us." Shino shook his head, "you don't-" he was knocked out by a small canister of gas and the ANBU took him with them to the interrogation room, waiting for him to come around to give them answers.
