A part of Shino that I don't think will ever completely fade.
Craven
When you get scared, it is hard to remember what he taught you. Stand tall, stick up for yourself, but it is so much easier just to submit. So instead of standing up for yourself, you just look to Sano and hope he doesn't realize what you're doing. He is your protector, but he wishes to do more for you than just stand up for you. He wants to teach you to do it yourself.
Next time someone starts pushing you around, you will remember. You will remember you are not a plaything, you will remember you are not a tool for a man's ego. And suddenly standing up for yourself and pushing back will be easier than submitting.
But letting Sanosuke protect you is easier still.
Review please!
