Camp Grounds Bonus Chapter
The Greenhouse
Ino, was amazed at the little place that was behind Shino's house.
"And this is, part of your family?"
"On my mother's side." Shino answered. "My mother's side, her family has gone through more plants and healing jutsu's for generations. She's taught me a few things, even if I have bugs." He explained.
Ino looked around and saw inside the greenhouse, all the different colors of flowers and these vegetables were like a real small garden. It was a greenhouse after all.
"These are Magical flowers. My father found them off the earth's land."
"Hidden Stone?" Ino asked.
"Close enough. Back in his younger days. He picked a few and gave them to her for their first anniversary. She's kept them alive in here ever since." Shino said.
Ino smiled. "Your father knew how to impress your mom. And she's kept them here, alive and well, she really loves him and you." Ino smiled. "What are some of these seeds?" Ino asked.
"These are summer seeds right now, but the spring and fall are in storage. These, are pumpkins, and onions. Dad forgot to plant the radishes this summer." Shino explained. "In the fall, we'll plant carrots, cauliflower, and spinach. But spring is my favorite. That's when I get my turnips and asparagus." He explained.
"Right. I remember in school you always had soup for lunch. It was special asparagus soup with turnips." Ino said.
"You pay attention to our surroundings." He said.
"What other seeds do you have in the spring?" She asked.
"Potatoes, mother planted those every year for her picked potatoes sall. And cabbages." Shino finished.
Shino hugged Ino from behind as she looked around more. "It's beautiful here. It's like a mini paradise. All this sweet smells and peaceful sounds. It's perfect weather every day in here." She said.
"I'm glad you like this. I'm sure my mother would have liked you too." He said.
Ino turned to face him, pulling down his shirt to see the rest of his face and removing his goggles. She never has seen his full face, or his eyes. But this was the perfect moment, where they can let go.
Shino's eyes were a glowing silver. Ino didn't know if that was a family trait or something to do with his bugs, but she didn't care. They looked so beautiful, she couldn't look away. But she didn't need to look for very long.
Shino leaned down and Ino closed her own eyes and let him kiss her.
It wasn't like any sort of demanding kiss. No "action" happened. It was soft and slow, lip touch, kiss. Ino didn't feel pressured in moving forward, her hands stayed on his shoulders and Shino kept his hands on her waste.
This was a perfect small paradise, all for them. It may be Shino's family greenhouse, but right now, it was just their little moment, alone. Enjoying each other's embrace, and peace and quiet. No one else around.
But a moment, doesn't last forever.
"Shino! You have friends over!" His father called.
Ino and Shino pulled apart and he pulled his shirt back up and Ino handed im his goggles. "That was nice."
"Wish we could have had more time like that." He whispered to her. Soon the two headed outside of the greenhouse and to the front, where Hinata, Sakura, and Kiba were waiting.
"Hey, we have a mission. Ino? Okay, at least we don't have to go to your place." Sakura said.
"What's the mission?" Ino asked annoyed with Sakura.
"We have to get going. It's a guarding mission." Hinata explained while they all began walking.
And that is the secret of the Greenhouse.
