Chapter 3: Put away the insect repellant
(A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! ^.^ Well, I just wanted you guys to know that YOU guys are the ones who do the basic voting. It's basically your opinions I look at to see who to kick out and who should stay. After all, this fic was created for your enjoyment. Also, you guys can say that I kind of represent Kakashi. XD But I'm just using Kakashi because he's a much cooler representative than me. Teehee. And keep in mind that I do read your reviews and think about them, so you guys influenced me to write this Chapter based on.…SHINO! Yay! Since I see a lot of ShinoxKiba fans. Haha, well, I shall stop my rambling and please R&R! ^.^)
I stood in my usually corner, waiting silently and patiently to see who the next person would get kicked out. I was satisfied with who I have chosen. Although I am looked to be the silent type, I do have lots of thoughts running through my head.
I voted for Kiba. Why did I vote for Kiba? I guess I feel attracted to the guy. I just don't know. I feel as if a magnet is pulling me closer and closer to him. Ironically I feel like a flea living in the fur of a dog.
I grinned at the thought of the day before. The sounds of Kiba's constant yelling was quite, let's say delightful. People are probably wondering why they heard shouts and screams from above during that game of spin the bottle. Well, I'll be nice to you guys. I'll tell you what happened. ^.^
***
I walked up the stairs, which led to the room that Kiba shared with Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and well, used to be Choji. I peered in through the door and saw Kiba sitting on the floor, with his front facing the wall. He had his arms around his knees, as he held his knees up to his chest. Ah, I must say, he looked like a cute little boy.
I slowly walked in, trying hard to not make a sound, but I knew that Kiba sensed me in the room from the moment I peered in.
"What do you want?" Kiba asked, as he sniffed a bit.
"Are you crying?" I asked a bit surprised. Why would anyone cry over the fact that the one they like is kissing another guy? And a girl too! I didn't get mad when he kissed Gaara. Well, I kind of got jealous. Kind of.
"NO!" Kiba rubbed his face. He pouted as he stared at the wall.
I smiled to myself. I sat myself next to Kiba and faced the wall. Kiba stared at me, as he raised his eyebrow. Then he turned his face to face the wall once more. I moved a bit closer to him, as my arm touched his arm.
"Hey, Shino, don't you think you're a bit too clo-". I cut him off, as I placed my lips on top of his. Oh how I longed for this moment.
Kiba immediately reacted by pushing me away. He rubbed his lips on his arm. "Hey, you…."
I smiled, as I pulled him towards me and ran up my hand from underneath his shirt, feeling his back. I felt his skin jerk, as he felt very stiff.
Kiba stood up quickly, as he looked at me with such a cute face. (Honestly, he looked more horrified.) I smiled, as I pulled him down on the bed and leaned on top of him.
"Shino!" Kiba cried out, his face flushed red. "What are you doing?"
I placed my lips on his neck, as Kiba let out a soft scream. Soft scream. Can't it be louder?
Alas. My further attempts of sensual touching and feeling have finally brought the guy to scream a bit louder. Music to my ears, I do say so myself.
And let's say you can imagine what happened after that.
***
My train of thoughts was gone, as Kakashi sensei walked to the center of the room.
"Look around ya, see whose missing." Kakashi sensei smiled.
I looked around. Hm. I'm surprised. I swore for sure that I would be the next one to get kicked out. I don't think anyone would want me to stay that much.
"Kankurou!" Temari cried out. "Hmph, I guess he got kicked out."
Everyone murmured in relief to still be in the game. I let out a sign of relief, as I noticed that Kakashi sensei was gone. That guy is really slick.
"Ah, I must get breakfast ready!" Hinata ran in to the kitchen, as she fastened an apron around her waist. She's a good person. Hinata. No wonder Kiba would be attracted to a girl like her. She's more stable and prompt than the other girls.
The lot of us just waited in the living room, smelling the sweet aroma that Hinata was cooking up. I looked over to Kiba, who seemed to be hovering over the kitchen door.
I signed. It was so boring with these other losers. Kiba was the only one that interests me.
"Hey everyone," Naruto gathered everyone. "I've been thinking. We didn't shower for awhile, so I think its time that we should."
"There are only two showers and 13 of us." Ino mumbled. "And how can we trust that you guys won't peep on us?"
"Who would want to look at your undeveloped body," Shikamaru muttered, as Ino slapped his head.
"The bathroom is pretty small." I said.
"We'll manage," Sasuke smirked.
"Well, I suppose it's a good idea to take a bath. I do feel quite dirty…." Sakura stood up, as she began walking up the stairs. Ten Ten and Temari followed her as well.
"I'll go get Hinata and we girls are going to take a bath, and then after the bath we'll eat. NO PEEKING!" Ino cried out, as she went into the kitchen to get Hinata.
"Psh, who would want to peek on her?!" Shikamaru cried out.
"I'm sure you do…." Naruto murmured, as Shikamaru gave him a look.
"Well, let's go," Sasuke began to climb up the stairs, as we all followed him.
I must say, it's a miracle how all eight of us fit. Let's just say that the gods up above have made this bathroom a bit bigger for this special occasion.
I slowly took off my shirt, as my eyes wandered towards where Kiba was. His tanned skin was pretty to look at. I took off the rest of my garments, as I wrapped a towel around my waist. I ran my fingers through my hair. It was pretty dirty.
Sasuke began to turn on the water, as Gaara brought in his gourd.
"What are you doing with that?" Sasuke asked.
"I want to take a mud bath."
"A mud bath?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow.
"It's good for the skin." Gaara took out the plug of his gourd, as he was about to pour it in the tub.
"WAIT! Take your mud bath after we take our non mud bath," Sasuke pushed Gaara away from the bathtub which was halfway filled with water.
"Very well." Gaara placed his gourd outside in the hall, as he closed the door. The bathroom became a bit steamy, as the hot water was filling up the tub.
I felt the moisture form on my skin, as I looked around. The water was filled up, as Naruto jumped in the water. Sasuke slipped in after him and then Gaara went in as well.
"I think it can only fit up to three people." Naruto tried to move, as his body was rubbing against Sasuke's.
"That's not fair! Why do you three get to go in first?" Shikamaru scowled.
"You guys can wash your backs or something with soap. Here are some buckets." Sasuke threw a bunch of buckets at us lot.
"Bleh, I rather wait." Shikamaru pouted, as he sat on a stool.
"And what are you guys going to do?" Lee asked.
"Wash and rinsed off our dirt in the water and wash our hair," Sasuke smirked, as he cupped the water in his hand and rubbed his body.
"Whatever." Neji grabbed the soap, as he forced Lee to sit on a stool. Then without saying anything, Neji began to rub his back with soap.
I decided to follow this example.
I noticed Kiba from the corner of my eye, as I grabbed him and placed him on a stool. Then I began to rub his back with soap.
"Ah, Shino!" Kiba cried out, as he began to turn stiff. I smiled to myself, as I rubbed harder.
"Shino…." Kiba's face turned red, as tears came out of his eyes. "It hurts….."
I began to go a bit softer, as I rubbed with a sponge. Then my hands wandered to his chest, how did it get there? I have no clue.
I rubbed his chest with the soap, as he gasped. This is fun.
I heard a soft moan, as I looked to my right, as saw Gaara washing Naruto's hair and Naruto washing Sasuke's hair. I looked at Gaara. He was being a bit overeactive with the washing. Actually, his hands weren't even in his hair!!! He wasn't even washing Naruto's hair!! What in a ladybug's name could cause Naruto to moan so?
I looked at Naruto, who had trouble washing Sasuke's hair. Naruto looked a bit irritated, no; he looked like he was feeling something good.
"Naruto! Are you cleaning my hair right?" Sasuke scowled, as he faced the bathroom wall.
"I'm-I'm t-trying, b-b-ut Gaa-Gaara i-is….." Small tears came out of Naruto's eyes.
I looked where Gaara's hands were leading too. Well, for one thing they were under the water, looking like it was around the area of Naruto's, oh my, I shan't say it, but it's located where every boy's treasure is located.
"OW!" Kiba cried out, as I turned my head to him. I was so caught up in the whole 'where is Gaara's hands located' thing that I forgot that I was rubbing Kiba's skin a bit too rough.
"Sorry." I murmured, as I continued to rub his skin.
"I think that's enough." Kiba stood up. Then his face turned red. "I'll-I'll do yours."
I looked in surprised. Straight he said, eh?
I took a seat on the stool, as Kiba grabbed a sponge and placed soap on it. He began to rub my back gently with the sponge, but I wasn't satisfied.
"Lose the sponge." I said.
"Wha-what?" Kiba looked at me, as his face flushed red.
"Lose the sponge."
"Um. Okay." Kiba placed the sponge away, as he rubbed soap in his hands and began to rub my back. I prefer his hands than some sponge.
I closed my eyes, as I felt his fingers wandering around my body, then I heard muffles towards the bath.
I opened my eyes as I looked to see Sasuke's arms all around Naruto. Gaara also had his hands 'somewhere'. Geez, these guys really like picking on Naruto. I don't find what's so attractive about him! Although that Sasuke guy is pretty attractive.
I watched as Sasuke ran his fingers up Naruto's back, as Gaara licked his fingers. I just watched in amusement.
"Let's take a mud bath together later Naruto," Gaara smirked at Sasuke, who twinge a bit with jealousy.
"I'm-I'm taking it too!" Sasuke cried out.
"Ha? I thought you didn't want to take one," Gaara provoked.
"Hmph, I changed my mind." Sasuke muttered, a bit irritated. Naruto just smiled retarded.
"Well, the sooner the better." Gaara stood up, as he got out of the tub and grabbed a towel. He pulled out Naruto, as Sasuke got out as well.
"You guys can go in." Gaara pointed at the dirtied bathtub.
"I'll refill the bath tub," Sasuke said as he pulled out the plug and watched the water drain. Then when the dirty water disappeared, Sasuke refilled it with clean water.
The next minute, Lee jumped in as he smiled. Shikamaru and Neji got in as well. I guess Kiba and I had to wait out turn.
Neji began washing Lee's hair as Lee offered to wash Shikamaru's, who declined the offer and washed his own hair.
I watched Shikamaru wash his own hair. He's straight, no doubt about it. Oh well. Too bad for him.
Lee smiled happily, as he made bubbles in the water with the shampoo. He blew bubbles, at Shikamaru, who looked a bit peeved.
I focused my attention on Kiba.
"Argh, this sucks. Why do we go last?" Kiba complained, as he sat on his stool, cross legged.
"You know, we can do something else while we wait." I said, as I looked at Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara. The three of them were busy washing each other's backs and fooling around in an inappropriate way.
"Like?" Kiba asked.
I gave a small smile, as I kissed him. Then he pulled apart automatically and pushed me. Why does he keep resisting?
"You really have this thing with kissing me. Why can't you kiss the other guys?" Kiba cried out.
"Because."
"Because?!"
"I'm only attracted to you." I said, as Kiba stared at me blankly.
"B-but," Kiba stuttered, as he wanted to protest, but I didn't let him.
I placed my lips over his, as I pushed him back to the wall. I placed one arm leaning on the wall, as I kissed harder.
Surprisingly…..
He kissed back.
His face burned red, as he kissed me back.
"Yo, finish making out after you take your turn," Shikamaru said, as he dried his hair with the towel.
We pulled apart, as I looked to see Neji and Lee out of the tub as well. They were all drying their bodies and hair.
"I'll put in clean water," Shikamaru said as he drained the dirty tub and filled it with fresh clean water.
Finally. It was OUR turn.
Kiba lifted up the shampoo bottle. "Hey, it's empty."
Hah, the other guys must have used it up already. Neji must have used the most, judging by his long hair.
"I'm gonna go-" Kiba got cut off my Shikamaru.
"I'll go get some more!" Shikamaru hastily grabbed the bottle from Kiba's hand. "There should be more shampoo in the girl's bathroom."
Shikamaru ran out of the bathroom, still half naked with his towel. Kiba pouted. "PERVERT!" He cried out.
But of course I knew. Kiba wanted to go and peep on Hinata. It kind of made me a bit sad, but, I suppose it can't be helped.
Kiba and I waited in the tub for the shampoo, as Shikamaru came in, scowling.
Kiba looked at him, grinning. "You went peeping!"
"No, I didn't!" Shikamaru threw the new shampoo bottle at Kiba, as it smashed into his face.
"OWWW!" Kiba rubbed his nose. "Peeping on…..Ino? I bet."
"NO!" Shikamaru's face turned red, as he denied it. I could see a red mark on his cheek, as he was trying to conceal it.
"I guess she slapped ya," Kiba smirked, as Shikamaru tried to conceal the red mark with his hand.
"Shad up!" Shikamaru growled, as he left the bathroom. I noticed that Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara were gone as well.
Kiba and I were alone.
"Let me wash your hair first," Kiba's face turned slightly red. I remained silent, as he began to run his hand through my hair. He rubbed it gently, as he was filling my whole head with shampoo. Ah. It felt pretty…..good.
I looked at the wall, as I had nothing better to do. Then I looked down upon the crystal clear water and touched the tips. I let the water droplets fall off of the tip of my index finger. It was interesting to do this.
"Hey Shino, why do you always wear those sunglasses?" Kiba asked.
I noticed that I still had my sunglasses on. Why did I always wear this?
"It protects my eyes." I made up.
"Really, but why do you still wear it while taking a bath?" Kiba asked.
"Because…." It never occurred to me. I wore these sunglasses 24/7 and I never took them off. "These glasses are a part of me I suppose."
"Oh I see….I was always curious about how your eyes would look like." Kiba murmured, as he rinsed my hair with water.
"Do you really want to see my eyes?" I asked.
"Yah."
"Like you really really really really want to look at them?"
"Yah."
"And you won't say anything bad about them?"
"Yah."
"Well, too bad."
"No fair!" Kiba complained, as he sat down in front of me. "It's my turn."
I grabbed the shampoo and began washing his hair.
"Shino, I have another question."
"What?"
"Didn't your sunglasses get wet when I rinsed your hair? I swore the water went down your face."
"It's magic."
"Really? You can do magic?"
I smiled at Kiba's retarded ness.
"Yep." I replied, but personally my bugs keep my shades clean.
"Oh." Kiba sat still, as he starred dumbly at the wall.
I was bored. It was not fun to just wash his hair. I kind of wanted to do…..a bit more…..
I hastily rinsed his hair, as I wrapped my arms around him.
"Shino….?" Kiba looked at me uneasily.
I began to kiss his neck, until…..
"RARARARARARARA!"
Damn that blasted dog.
Akamaru jumped into the bathtub, making a huge splash, causing me to let go of Kiba.
Argh, it angers me how this mere stupid dog could ruin such a moment!
"Oh! Akamaru! You need a bath too! You dirty dog!" Kiba grinned as he lifted Akamaru. Akamaru barked with displeasure, as Kiba rubbed shampoo in to his fur. He whined, as he tried to get out of the water.
"Hah, it's your fault for coming here!" Kiba grinned, as he washed Akamaru. Leaving me to be kind of jealous. Hah, that's stupid. Jealous of some stupid dog?
I got out of the tub. "I'm going to dry first."
"Okay." Kiba replied.
I shall continue this next time.
I walked out of the bathroom, as I walked downstairs to see everyone except Kiba, eating out of bowls. They seem to be all eating chicken soup.
"Shino-kun!" Hinata walked up to me a bowl filled with the hot steamy soup. "This is for you."
I smiled in appreciation and accepted the food. I ate it, as I wondered what could be taking Kiba so long.
"Uh, Kiba-kun?" Hinata asked.
"He's still taking a bath."
"Oh, then please give him his when he comes." Hinata left another bowl on the table next to me.
"Sure."
After a few minutes, Kiba groggily walked down the stairs in his clothes with a towel around his neck. Akamaru barked ferociously nearby. I stopped him and handed him his soup.
"Thanks." Kiba mumbled, as he began to eat it. Akamaru ran to Hinata, as she fed him.
The lot of us ate silently, as slurping sounds can be heard throughout the room. Soon, everyone was finished, but I noticed that Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara were all still….shirtless.
"Ah, that was a good meal!" Naruto stretched his arms, as he placed the bowl in the sink.
Gaara smiled, as he said nothing and picked up his gourd. Sasuke said nothing as well as he placed his bowl in the sink. The three walked up the stairs into the bathroom.
"Sasuke-kun! What are you doing?" Sakura asked, as she hastily ran up the stairs.
"Taking a mud bath." Sasuke said, as Sakura stared at him.
"T-then, I wanna take a mud bath too!" Sakura cried out. "I-if Sasuke-kun is, then me too!"
Gaara stared at her with the "Get the hell away" look. He threw a bag of sand at her. "Take your own bag and leave us alone."
He pushed her out of the door with the sand.
"What's the big idea?!!" Sakura cried out through the closed door. "Its not like I was planning to take it with you guys!"
Her face fumed with anger, as she stormed down the stairs.
A mud bath? I wouldn't mind taking one. I walked over to Kiba, as I dragged him up the stairs. I opened the door too see Naruto, Gaara, and Sasuke all covered in…..mud.
"Hey! Shino! Kiba! Want to join us?" Naruto waved his arms frantically. What a dumb ass.
I nodded, as Kiba looked horrified.
"I am not gonna go in that…..thing!" Kiba cried out.
Oh shut up. I wanted to say, but hey, I'm a nice guy. I stripped him out of his clothing, as we jumped in the mud filled bath. Surprisingly and magically, this time we all fit. It was a quite a unique experience, but taking mud baths are….well, quite fun.
The day ended with us taking hours of mud baths and taking another bath and eating half of what was in the fridge. We were all unusually hungry. I slipped under covers and noticed that Shikamaru was gone. I looked towards the couch and noticed him sleeping on it. Hah, I suppose it's more convenient for him to sleep there since Kankurou left. I closed my eyes and fell deeply into sleep from this tiring day.
I woke up early in the morning to find Neji and Shikamaru gone. I looked onto the other bed as Lee still slept. That guy always sleeps more than us. I nudged him awake.
"Huh, ha?" Lee groaned, as he stiffly sat up. Then he looked a bit nervous. It was time for one of us to be kicked out.
"Let's go." I said as I quickly dressed as Lee did the same.
"Good luck Shino-san," Lee nodded, as I nodded back. Survival was our only key. But to win this game, didn't we need to have affection for others and receive affections in return?
I thought. I was going to survive this game and if I was going to, I would have to move on and gain more admirers. There was only one person who I had in mind other than Kiba. And that person…..
Sasuke-kun.
The two of us walked down the stairs to see everyone biting their lips. They looked nervous, as they clutched the pen and paper in their hands. I grabbed a paper and pen and wrote who I wanted to stay the most.
You guys all know who that is, right?
