Chapter 13

"That went unexpectedly worse then I imagined," I muttered, Shino shrugged holding my hand as we walked around.

"Inuzuka Kiba, Baka-kun!" shouted someone from the Inuzuka's compound, Kiba with Akamaru came running around the corner followed by an angry looking Hana and her dogs. I tried to resist lifting my leg out but it got the best of me and I stuck my leg out tripping Kiba and Akamaru also followed by Hana. They looked up and growled.

"Erm…sorry!" I said running and grabbing Shino as I was laughing too hard. We carried on walking to the Aburame compound. We snuck through to his room where I burst out laughing and Shino just smiled at me. He came over and hugged me tightly. I sighed and hugged back. He seemed to work his way up and kissed my jaw line. This was slightly unusual for him but I dismissed. It.

"Ooooo this is different," I said quietly to him, he grunted and I was sure it him then.

"Because I love you," he said gruffly, I smirked at him and kissed him back. I walked back until I reached something by my knees knocking me over. Shino in expecting it fell over with me but managed to flip so he didn't land on me. I leaned over and kissed him again and I think something clicked in him. He kissed back passionately and his hands were going up and down my sides. I moaned slightly and he smirked. Things started to heat up once he had managed to remove my shirt. Suddenly a little voice chimed in my head.

What are you doing?

Kissing Shino

Don't do it not yet….

Why not?

Because it's wrong……

No it isn't because he's my boyfriend…..who the hell are you anyway?

I'm you, 18 year old Ex-ANBU, new jounin and Nidaimes grand daughter. I'm you. Don't do it……… It stopped and faded out. I thought I was going insane. Shino was lying on top of me by the time I zoned in again. His hand was at the top of my trousers.

"Ano….Shino, stop, please," I said quietly and embarrassed. I felt awkward about it anyway, but who wouldn't. He immediately stopped and got up.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened," he said quietly, I nodded and put my shirt back on. There was an awkward silence and I walked to the door.

"I guess I'll see you later," I said quietly and vanishing instead of taking the door.

I arrived outside the tower and went into Tsunade's office.

"Tsunade-chan can I talk to you," I asked

"Hai, what is it?" she asked

"I was wondering if I would be aloud to move into my own apartment," I stuttered "I mean there's nothing wrong with living here its jus-" I was interrupted by her.

"I understand. Independence and privacy," she said I nodded and she sighed.

"Same problem with me." She said after a moment there was a short nod. "There I believe is a place open near the Aburame compound for you," she said I shook my head slowly

"Is there a place not so clear…me and Shino had a disagreement, over something," I lied through my teeth, I bet she could tell but didn't mention it,

"Hai, well in that case there is another place near the western gate. Outside the town center near your training area, the Yamanaka flower fields and the Nara deer herds," she explained "Completely opposite side of the Aburame compound." She added smiling

"I'll take that one," I said

"Hai I'll ask Izumo and Kotetsu to help you move tomorrow," she said smiling

"But what about paying," I asked

"I am Hokage and I'm the one you pay anyway for the flat and seeing as I still pay for your stuff then it makes sense to give it to you," she added, I smiled and thanked her and went off to pack.

The next day I woke up to seeing a partially bandaged face over me.

"What? Kotetsu?" I asked groggily,

"Morning Aiko-hime!" he said cheering, I sat up slowly and saw Izumo as well grinning.

"What the hell?" I asked

"Hokage-sama told us to help you move, and it's like 12 already," said Izumo.

"Yeh but…never mind, now bugger off while I get changed," I hissed threateningly at them, they backed away slowly and out the room. I sighed and went for a quick shower and went out and got changed. I opened my door and I noticed a few more were gathered out there.

"Genma what the hell are you doing here?" I asked "Same for you Raido,"

"We were told to come," said Raido

"By the Hokage," muttered Genma

"It doesn't matter I was gonna make Izumo and Kotetsu do all of it anyway," I said smirking at them. They cowered again and Genma burst out laughing.

"Man, she's got you two whipped," he laughed Raido seemed wiser when he saw me twitch.

"Pssssst Genma dude I'd stop," he said, but it was too late I struck out and punched him, getting him out cold. I smirked and grabbed the senbon from his mouth and put in my own smirking.

"Anyone else got any questions," I said darkly, the other shook their heads and I laughed lightening up. I turned and walked back into my room grabbing a few boxes and went out again. Everyone was quiet.

"Are you coming or not?" I asked, they nodded hastily and grabbed some boxes to move. We moved slowly through the streets carrying the boxes. I saw Yuki and Akane eating by the ramen store and they came over.

"Wassup Aiko-sensei? What's with the boxes?" asked Akane,

"I'm moving so if you want you can come to see where," I said smiling "But if you do can you help Raido with the big box he's carrying." I said, they nodded and went back to Raido to help. He looked gracious and I nodded at him. He went back to the tower to get more and get Genma as well. I was still holding the senbon in my mouth and found it quite useful. As the day progressed everything was eventually half moved in. It was a nice place in hidden in some trees and had a porch. It was a one story house but was also quite spacious and there was a training area behind. Apparently it belonged to an old ninja who passed away two years ago. I still had to go out and buy stuff. I left Yuki and Akane at the apartment to look after it and help finish unpacking while I dragged the four guys out to the shops before they ran off. We went around furniture shops getting accessories for my apartment and I left them to take the stuff back except for Raido. He was gonna help me food shopping. Bad Idea. He was trying to get me to buy sake and sweets the whole time.

"Enough Raido, go buy some flowers from Ino," I yelled in the market, a few people turned around to look at us. He nodded not prepared to feel my wrath. I went around buy different foods and different drinks to stock up my home, knowing full well Yuki would half live with me and half with Akane. As I walked home through the cool evening watching the fireflies and the stars I saw someone sitting down under a tree watching the fireflies. I saw it was Shino. I grimaced at the thought of facing him after the other day. He watched as I passed and walked down the street. A stab of guilt hit me as I heard him get up and leave. I shook my head and carried on walking. When I arrived at home there was only the kitchen light on and I went on through to it. I noticed Izumo and Kotetsu sitting there playing cards.

"Where are Genma and Raido?" I asked

"They have a mission in the morning and need to leave early so they said sorry. Genma took back his senbon and Raido left the flowers in your room." Explained Kotetsu, I nodded and put the stuff here.

"Guys you didn't have to stay," I said smiling "Its almost 11 and Tsunade will want you in the morning,"

"Yeh but we couldn't leave Yuki and Akane," said Izumo smiling back

"Didn't they go home?" I asked quickly

"Nope, sorry but we put them to sleep in your room, we didn't know what else to do," said Izumo,

"Jackpot!" shouted Kotetsu grinning

"Shhh! You two can go now," I said, they nodded and packed up and said bye and left. I sighed and unpacked then went and lay on the couch with a blanket.
