Naruto

I do not know whether to have my character take over Shino's role or for her to have some cousin brother (like shisui is to Itachi) be around for Shiori.

I also try doing alot, so may take time to get chapters out.


A month passed since the event with the young Uchiha, but due to Shiori being bedridden could only focus on her studies to prove she was determined to be a Kunoichi. Not to say her mind did not wander to the young Uchiha and what he had said in the past.

'Is it an Uchiha thing not to accept other's defense then?' Shiori thought briefly, reading about how her purple skin can be a symptom of having Rinkaichu as their swarm, the insect themselves so small the eye could only see the color purple to indicate that it is Rinkaichu on a person or inhabiting them.

While the Kochu insect is a wormy insect that paralyzes and slowly kills their victims before almost dying themselves to where nothing remains of them being the cause of death either.

'These insects become more scary and intimidating with each lesson...' Shiori grimly thought, tightening her grip on the book and hugged it to her flat chest arms holding the item securely almost as a security blanket. Even with her small thin legs covered in blankets of many variety, the feeling of many tiny spindly legs crossing underneath left her nerves slightly frayed.


After a few months and the consistent studying, Aburame Shibi felt to give the go ahead for Aburame Shiori to attend the academy, starting at a slightly later age then usual.

"Your bond with your swarm is not where the clan is hoping for it to be, but your studies are excelling immensely to where I will hold my end of our deal by allowing you to attend the academy this coming fall, along with your continued clan studies." Aburame Shibi stated with his low voice, which still intimidated me to at least a small degree.

I was more elated to succeed on my goal to where I had a small, I say small grin on my face. Did I say my mind wandered, because it did to a point I had too much wonder in this small frame to really be good.

In my mind wandered just as the grin remained to the anime I had not seen since being reborn in snippets, almost like a broken picture where you see the image and are trying to see more just incase there is a little more there.

'Did I have a brother? Did they have a son?' My thoughts went slowly, my smile dimming just a smidge at the possibility, not sure if out of shame or guilt of something I did or feel to the idea. I have not seen any other at our dining table in either morning or nights.

Aburame Shibi noticed the slight change by a tilt of his head, but remained quietly watching his daughter pondering in her thoughts, until he felt that he needed to make his presence known.

My thoughts were interrupted as I heard the buzzing of my Otousan's hive rather close to me, maybe he was always near and I was distracted, or did he approach me for a reason?

After lingering a few moments, neither daughter nor father spoke, Shiori left the room quietly with a bow to him signifying her respect to him and returning to her room.


Shiori stayed near her room most days, especially during the time her chakra felt most drained by her hives, and by her own precarious use of the chakra to get used to manipulating it throughout her body's network of veins.

"You bloodsuckers..." Shiori comments with an irked mark on her forehead, feeling the chakra she moved get sapped away from her almost like she is giving a free delivery service to them, by her own veins system. Its more literally than she wants.

Feeling weak in her limbs, 'Is this due to my exertion of chakra, or those bloodsuckers?' After a few minutes a wave of nausea washes over me suddenly and Shiori could only mutter, "Yep, my hive is mad at me." Before collapsing onto the wood flooring of her room.


Waking is a different story entirely, the feel of warm wood against my bare cheek, mainly because I was sleeping with my cheek pressed against the flloor.

"Why..." Shiori groans softly, picking herself up and shaking her long black locks about her, before opening her dark colored eyes to look about her room.

"I need to work on my studies... and not get knocked out as easily." Shiori muttered softly, slowly getting to her feet, wobbling for her own balance before settling on the edge of her bed.

She paused at hearing a rustling at her door, that allowed her outside to the gardens that are usually swarmed by many insects, most of them friendly and a select few hostile when pushed.

The door slid open revealing another Aburame, maybe five years old who looked at me, or it seemed that way due to the black glasses point blank directed at me.

"I heard Shiori-chan is trying to join the academy, having a competition with the Uchiha?" His monotone voice questioned amusingly and creating an illusion of making him seem older than he is, but I ignored the question in saying, "I did not realize they were entering soon".

'I asked at five years old since I remember Itachi being able to go at a young age, but to be called out as competing is a first to think about.' Her thoughts were interrupted by a hand waving infront of my face.

"Well, how did joining the academy come to you?" His monotone voice steady, but tweaked slightly from amused to hopeful tone it seemed, "Is it me, Shioki, who convinced you?"

Shiori mainly looked to her cousin, who had his high-collared coat on, it was olive green in color, but had a more forest green color for the inner color. "I was wondering how you got in the Academy, cousin Shioki?" The question made him quiet, and he looked at the garden, almost seemed to want out of answering the question any way possible.

Shioki adjusted his glasses almost as a nervous gesture, before hurrying out of the room, forgetting to close the door shut. Shiori could only watch her cousin disappear, wondering at what she said to make them seem so uncomfortable.


I am not sure on Shino, but may haps if wanted, but message what you think or anything
