Hinata moved smoothly through the air, and it was barely two minutes before she had knocked Shino onto the floor, the controller pointed at his throat. The Hyuuga frowned, her pale eyes blazing with slight anger.
"If you take me seriously," She took the sword away, one of Shino's life vanishing, "then fight me like you do!"
Shino picked himself up, his glasses shining.
"Fine."
They drew their swords. Hinata slipped into the defense position just before Shino ran forward. They were inches apart as their controllers collided. Her purple hair fell in front of her face as Shino pressed her up against the wall, his hand grabbing her loose wrist. In one swift move, the controller was pressing into her chest lightly.
The fights continued, and finally, each player had no lives left. Kiba was staring wide eyed as his two friends were literally lost in the battle. Shino held his sword at his side, his body sliding back as Hinata brought her controller out in front of her.
They were gathering momentum...
The time was right...
Flicker.
Flash!
The entire room was plunged into darkness. The controllers clattered to the ground. That was when they heard a high pitched shriek. Hinata clasped her hands over her ears, and Shino cringed. Hinata activated her Byakugan to see Kiba screaming.
"Kiba-kun?"
Shino stopped grimacing once the other Chuunin stopped his screeching.
"Kiba... man... what the hell?"
The Chuunin yelled, his face a bit red.
"Shut up!" He gasped as Akamaru whimpered. "I-I don't like the dark."
Hinata didn't laugh, respecting Kiba's fear of the dark. Shino rolled his eyes, even in the dark. The Hyuuga cleared her throat, feeling the eyes of her friends on her.
"Um... I-I'll get some candles, so, I'll be gone for just a little bit."
Kiba nodded.
"Okay, Hinata."

Shino felt around on the ground for the controllers, putting them safely on top of the television. He moved slowly to Kiba, who clutched at his arm, silently daring Shino to comment on his paranoia.
A glow came from the door. Shino felt his breath catch as Hinata walked in with six candles cradled in her arms. Standing without saying a word, he wordlessly took three candles. She bowed her head in a quiet thanks and struck a match.
She placed the candles on holders that were attached to the beige walls. Shino would hand her candles, trying to not touch her bare hands. Soon the room was softly lighted by the light of the flames. Hinata smiled at Kiba finally let out a breath.
"Thanks."
Hinata smiled.
"No problem, Kiba-kun." She smiled at Shino, and then moved her gaze to Kiba. "I'm going to go get changed into my pajamas." She clasped her hands together tightly, her voice growing softer. "Y-you two c-can too if you w-want."
She left, trying not to run as her hair trailed behind her. Shino just stared at her figure as it slowly was consumed by the dark. After they could no longer hear footsteps, the two Chuunin moved to their bags.
Kiba was stuck in his shirt, Shino having to pull it over his head for him. Kiba had a loose tee shirt and his boxers. Shino unzipped his jacket, folding it neatly and then unbuttoned his sweat shirt. He was bare underneath, so he put on a white tank top. He too, wore boxers.
He was slipping back into his sweat shirt when he heard footsteps approaching. Out of the darkness came Hinata, only this time she was holding two plates in her hand. Not to mention she was wearing a white nightgown.
It was cotton. It had to be. Shino's glasses slid down his nose as he saw that it ended just above her knees. Revealing, but not too revealing. The first person to make a noise was Kiba, who whistled like a fool.
"Wow, what the hell was Naruto thinking?" Shino felt his skin turn to ice as he turned to Kiba. "No one in their right mind would ever say no to a body like that! Hinata, you're gorgeous!"
In a blur of a shadow, Kiba was punched in the face by Shino. It wasn't meant to break a jaw, just enough pain to make him shut up. Hinata felt like she had a rock in her throat and she couldn't swallow it.
"I-I m-made y-y-you dinner..."
She left the plates on the floor and turned, walking back into the darkness. Kiba and Shino were speechless as she left. Shino passed Kiba a plate that had beef jerky on it. Shino just stared at his garden salad.
"Wait here."
Shino stood, leaving his food and Kiba behind.

Hinata was in her kitchen, staring out a large window. Her hands were tugging at her white dress, a scarlet flush staining her pale face. Her pale eyes were watering as she watched the rain pour.
Hinata... you baka. She sniffed, wiping her eyes. Only some fool like you would lose a boy like Naruto...
"Hinata?"
She turned, staring wide eyed at Shino Aburame. Her hands were still clutching at her gown, and she looked away from his dark glasses.
"S-shino-kun... sorry."
The only source of light was the glare of the window. Other than that, it was two teenagers in the dark, whispering to each other. The boy was uncertain, not having been social in his entire life. He had his hands in his pockets, his sweat shirt unbuttoned. He liked it like that.
"Kiba was just... he was just being a baka." Hinata said nothing as she tugged at her nightgown. "If you keep on doing that, you're going to rip it." Hinata opened her lips, her face turning purple. No sound came out. Shino frowned. "Here. If it bothers you that much, take this."
He took off his sweat shirt, making sure that all his insects were off of it, and handed it to her. Shino felt her touch the clothing. She found her voice.
"I-I'm sorry... you k-keep it."
"No."
He pushed it towards her, gently, but enough to get her to give in to his demands. They battled it out quietly, but finally, she took his sweat shirt. She slipped it on, and as she played with the sleeves (that were too long for her arms) Shino began to button it. She touched his hand.
"N-no, it's okay." She was chewing on her bottom lip, but smiling at the same time. "I... I like it like this."
Their hands were still touching. They didn't move until they heard a tapping on a nearby window. The two Chuunin turned to see the one and only Rock Lee. Hinata was up on the counter, trying to unlock the windows. She finally got them free and opened it.
"Lee-kun! Garra-kun!" Hinata saw the Fifth Kazekage frowning under Lee's umbrella. It was only then that they heard the scream of the wind and the bellowing thunder. The rain was not coming down in sheets, but blankets with assortments of mattresses and pillows. "What's happening? Is everything okay?"
Lee gave them a thumbs up sign.
"Just fine!" Gaara elbowed the Chuunin in the stomach. "Oh... well... the rain is really coming down hard, and Konoha is flooding." A dazzling smile that could have lit an entire country was flashed. "Just stay inside!"
Hinata nodded, her fingers toying with the buttons of the sweatshirt. Shino, on the other hand, let his eyes fix on Gaara.
"Gaara, what are you doing in Konoha?"
The Fifth Kazekage stared into those gleaming shades as he growled out his answer.
"Lee invited me to sleep over."
Such a cute statement said in such a deadly voice. Even Hinata giggled. She shook Lee's hand.
"Thank you."
Lee nodded while Gaara just... stared. The window was soon shut and they were gone. Off into the rain. The two Chuunin were silent, just listening to the rain. Hinata exhaled. Shino spoke up.
"Thank you for the salad." She looked at him. "How did you know...?"
Hinata shrugged playfully.
"I just know."

The two returned to the living room. Kiba apologized to Hinata, hugging her close. Hinata patted him on the head, saying that it was okay. They sat down, and Hinata blew out the candles. They informed Kiba of the situation, and he said that it was fine, that the storm would most likely be over by the morning.
Everything was still for a bit. Until a pillow was impaled into Shino's face. The master of insects glared at Kiba, who was howling with laughter.
"What was that for?"
Instead of answering, the boy screamed.
"PILLOW FIGHT!"
Hinata let out a girlish squeal as Kiba wacked her. She recovered quickly, giving Kiba a wack right on the kisser!
Shino could only watch for several moments. He had never heard of a 'pillow' fight. He was motionless until Hinata came at him. She hit him in the stomach. It was then that it turned into 'everybody against Shino' fight.
Shino barely had time to grab his pillow before he was being pummeled. Hinata hit him in the back of he head, while Kiba went for his stomach. That was when a rip was heard. The three Chuunin stared as white feathers floated down. Hinata laughed, her eyes wrinkling and they all just went nuts. It didn't matter who they hit. It was every person for themselves. Feathers were everywhere. Akamaru was barking, spinning around in circles.
The three teenagers stopped, the lightening flashing and the thunder booming. The feathers fell like snow. Kiba sighed.
"That was awesome..."
Hinata sat down on the floor, the other two following her example.
"Yeah..."
Shino was silent as it was called a night. It was like an unspoken agreement. Kiba curled against Akamaru. Hinata brought out a white sheet. Shino unzipped his sleeping bag. He turned to his side, surprised to see Hinata already sleeping, her eyes closed and her legs bent a bit.
For some odd reason, Shino couldn't help but stare at his teammate. For that moment, he couldn't hear Kiba's loud obnoxious snores. He couldn't hear anything except for her breathing.
Her face didn't look worried. She looked... peaceful. Some strands of purple hair fell in front of her face. He moved his hand so he didn't touch her, but moved the fallen pieces away. It was the last thing he saw that night. Her face.
His mind slowly faded away, getting lost in the pounding rain and the grumbling thunder. Even so, he was satisfied by her image ingrained in his mind...
