Chapter 2: … … I like bugs
Aburame Shino belongs, obviously, to the Aburame clan. They like bugs… to the point that it's almost an obsession. The heroine of our story, Yamanaka Ino, is about to see first-hand, how obsessive this obsession is.
Last time, on Enter Into My Mind, Yamanaka Ino had just walked into a burst of sunshine and will never be seen again. That was an overstatement, but alas, the fans will not see her till 12 hours later. Now, approximately 12 hours later, Yamanaka Ino has walked back through the burst of sunshine.
Ino was once again bored. No one showed up for training. Shikamaru and Chouji were playing shouji and Asuma-sensei was sleeping off the effects of a hangover that he received from yesterday's "excursions" with his fellow male jounins.
So, anyways, Ino was bored. She really didn't feel like stalking Sasuke. Yesterday had shaken her up. It's nothing, she told herself, just a little out of character, but it really doesn't mean Sasuke is ALWAYS like this. She continued to comfort herself as she walked along, not noticing where she was going. Until, she ran smack into a large… something. It wriggled.
"EWWWWWWWW, GROSS," said Ino's girly side. "Oh my gosh, where's my shuriken," said Ino's ninja side. As it happened, the thing wriggled again. It writhed and twisted and finally, it blew up. It turned out to be millions of bugs, jam-packed into one large bag.
Ino ran around crazily like a savage, trying to avoid bugs and not ruin her hair. In the end, she ended up hiding behind a tree. There, she watched as Aburame Shino came. He GASPED. "MY COLLECTION, MY BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION. OH WHO COULD HAVE DONE SUCH A THING?" He snatched up the bag and began grabbing random bugs and putting them in the bag.
It was then, that Ino got a splendid idea. Why didn't she transfer herself into Shino's mind? There would be no bugs there, and she would have something to gossip with the other girls.
"Shinwanshin no jutsu," she cried.
She found herself in a dark room, darker even, than Sasuke's. All she could here was Shino's voice.
"Nasaki, where are you? My poor bugs, I was so close to getting every species too. Imoto, there you are, that was very naughty of you to run away. Ok, head count, Akahito, Aki, Akihiko, Akihiro, Akihisa, Akihito, Akikazu, Akinari, Akinori, Akio? Where's Akio? There you are. Akira, Amane, Anzai, Arata, Arinori, Aritomo, Ashihei, Atasuke, Atshushi, Atsumichi, Atsumori, Atsutane, and Azumamaro. That's all the A's.
Ino had no idea how he could remember all these names.
"Baiko, Bairei, Bakin, Basho, Benjiro, Benkei, Bokkai, Buncho, Bunjiro, Bunrakuken, Bunzo, and Bussho. That's all the B's"
It was then, that Ino noticed the scurrying sounds around her. She froze. GIANT MAN-EATING BUGS HAD SURROUNDED HER AND WERE ABOUT TO EAT HER. No, that's not what happened. The same bugs that Shino used in battle seemed to inhabit Shino's mind as well.
"AH, my lovely chakra bugs. Did you find out who opened my top-secret bag? The annoying girl with the long blonde hair, who's in love with Sasuke but will never get him? Oh, you mean Ino. That Ino, what does she have against me? When I see her again, I'll scare her a little with my collection. She should see the consequences of what she has done. Very good, my beauties, you may leave now."
"Ok, back to head count. Chikafusa, Chikao, Chojiro, Chomei, Chuichi…"
Ino decided that it would be best for her to just leave now. It wasn't safe in Shino's mind, with all the bugs and Shino wanting to "scare her a little." She released the jutsu and felt herself returning to her body.
Ino opened her eyes to see, once again, medical-nins crowded around her. They looked disgruntled, but Ino had no idea why. Upon seeing her eyes open, the medical-nins began packing their instruments into their bags. "Well, Mrs. Yamanaka. That's the second time you apparently came back from the dead. No more tricks, ok?" said the medical-nin with a mask on, "If it weren't for Mr. Aburame here, we would never had found you. Hiding in a tree and all."
As they walked away, Ino heard them mutter, "Kids these days."
At this point, reality hit Ino harder then a sledgehammer. Literally. A large bug hit Ino smack on the face. She wrenched it off and, shrieking, she ran down the hill. Shino stood watching her leave, a maniacal grin on his face. "We'll meet again, Yamanaka, and you will regret the day that you ran into my collection." At that, Shino vanished in a flurry of black bug bodies.
