I'm back, I'm sorry, I just got in this morning and decided to sleep away my morning. Mission was a success, thanks to Kiba. Shikamaru, Kiba and myself had to go into the Rock Village, gather information about their new kage, but it almost got messed up when Kiba opened his mouth after getting bitten by a freaking huge bug and I lost control of my body, almost getting us killed..
Luckily the dolt grabbed my body while they ran and I was saved, but man Shikamaru was pissed, but the mission was complete, more or less, and it turns out the new kage might be a threat later…
So enough about mission work, I thought of the instance as inspiration about who I will make a flower for next.
Shino Aburame.
He likes bugs and crap, and since Kiba and Hinata were once his teammates, I am going to ask them.
Ino closed her journal and grabbed an extra brush and was running down the street in a flash, hoping to find either the blushing brunette or the loud dog boy. Instead she ran into, literally, someone else entirely.
"Hello Kurenai sensei!" Ino said, almost having just taken the woman out. She had been inside a shop, buying some ramen, when Ino came barreling down the street.
"Why are you in such a big hurry?" she asked, fixing her hair.
"Oh, just looking for Hinata," Ino said, looking around.
"She's probably inside that ramen shop down the street, the one that loud mouth always goes to," the tall woman responded, heading down toward the Hokage Monument. Ino pulled out her journal.
Note To Self: Hinata needs some therapy, for wanting to hang out with Naruto.
The shop was busy, and as usual, the loud mouth blonde was there, slurping away at a bowl. Hinata was sitting next to him, her normal blush on her face as Naruto told her the story about the mist ninja he swears he fought against. Ino really never thought that story was true, but Sakura continually swore it was true.
"T-That's amazing…" Hinata gasped as Naruto continued.
"Then I felt really weird, like something inside of me was breaking, so I just attacked!" Naruto said, finishing off his bowl and yelling for another one.
Hinata gasped again and slurped a little on her own chopsticks as Naruto received his new bowl.
"So then, I'm hitting him and he's way overconfident, I say, so soon I'm getting angrier as if he thinks he's going to beat me!" Naruto said, slurping loudly. Hinata nodded to let him know to continue, Ino sighing in the doorway. She sat down next to Hinata, not even acknowledged by the blushing brunette.
Okay, so Hinata is wrapped a little too tight around Naruto and she seems to believe everything he says, I think she's a little too gullible.
"Hey Hinata, Naruto," Ino tried but now Naruto was done with his bowl, full attention on Hinata, getting to the climax of his story.
"And then I was yelling at the bastard but he turned to me and told me to shut up, he was crying and then I gave him…"
Naruto continued on and on and Hinata was leaning in on every word now, physically she was leaning in as well, eyes locked into his own. Ino felt that Hinata would fall forward soon and that would be weird.
"So he cut off his head and… uh…" now Naruto noticed how close Hinata was, blushing a little, as he sat back a bit, large blue eyes staring into Hinata's pearl ones.
"And then?" Hinata pressed, wanting to know what happened.
"And then he asked if he c-could lay next to Haku, to say goodbye. They died together in the snow," Naruto finished, blushing a little more as Hinata gave out a sigh of relief and sadness. Ino looked around, no one else seemed to be noticing this strange couple right now.
"Uh…. Y-yeah! That's exactly what happened!" Naruto declared, trying to cover his burning cheeks by turning back to his empty bowl. Hinata looked back to her own half empty one (or half full if that's how you look at it) and sighed, as if she had just missed a chance.
"Uh…Hey Hinata, mind if I talk to you for a second?" Ino asked, Hinata finally noticing her.
"Oh, Ino, forgive me, I did not see you."
"Don't worry about it, uh…. I wanted to talk to you about… Shino."
Ino had almost forgotten why she was there, seeing Hinata so fixated on Naruto made her completely forget she was in real life.
"Oh… Shino?" Hinata asked, picking up her chopsticks.
"Yeah, like, he's a little weird, and I was wondering if maybe you knew a few things about him."
"Oh… well… h-he's very secretive, doesn't talk much… I guess he's very quiet but brave and strong. When we were doing missions when we were on the same team, he usually was the one who kept his cool and told us how to fix any problem. He's a nice guy, just kind of… obsessed with something…. Or should I say someone…." Hinata mumbled to herself, her blush starting to fade. Naruto's head suddenly popped into view and found its way onto Hinata's left shoulder.
"Shino? That guy creeps me out!" Naruto said, making Hinata gasp and her entire face redden.
"Hello Naruto, how's it going?" Ino asked, smiling at the look on Hinata's face. Her white eyes were as wide as Ino had ever seen them and the fact that Naruto was so close to her made Hinata fumble her hands.
"Nothing much, how're you Ino?" Naruto asked, smiling brightly. Hinata looked like she was trying to say something but just couldn't.
"Ah well, I better get going, I need to go help my mom with something," Ino said, trying not to laugh her head off. Naruto waved and went back to his new bowl, leaving Hinata to stop holding her breath.
"S-S-S-S-S-See y-y-y-you I-I-In-Ino."
Ino hurried out of the shop, laughing crazily and writing furiously.
Best thing just happened, Hinata was unable to say anything when Naruto was like two inches from her face, so great! I think I see our little heiress is in total love! I know this entry is about Shino, but because of this new development, I'll also write in Hinata, and probably wait until tomorrow to do Shino. But one thing that is bothering me, Hinata said that Shino was "distracted by something… or someone…" who can distract that guy? I'll talk to him tomorrow, its getting really late.
Oh! I almost forgot Hinata's flower. I think it might be the Motherwort. It means Concealed Love. Naruto doesn't ever seem to understand that she is in total love with him but I guess that's life. I'm tired, talk to you tomorrow.
Ino got home and changed, threw her journal on her desk and turned off her light. Before she fell asleep, however, she did think about Hinata.
"Hmm… yeah… Motherwort…"
Concealed Love…
