Chapter seven: bitting back

Shino woke up. Silently pulling away from korena he got up and dressed then walked out the tent door.

Not long later she woke up , she also got dressed and walked out. To make food.

"mmm…. She cooked again today akamaru."

"arf, arf"

kiba jumped out and ran to the bowls.

"how is she? Better?" korena asked looking back to her tent.

"she's awake, but still ." Korena's eyes sunk and she looked to the ground. "but she'll be fine in a day when we get to your country just a lil tired I think"

"I don't think so"

"what do you mean?"

"nothing ." she continued to look down

"something, what did you do to her! " he was now standing yelling at her. She stood up face to face with him."

"nothing! " she spit as she said it straight into his face.

"I can feel you pulse rise , your lying! He pointed a claw into her face.

"no!" she screamed

"you dirty hor tell me what you did! What did you do to hinata!" he began to start a jutsu. Claws growing power rising inside him."now! tell me!"

she had her spear in his face "back down or you will regret it dog-boy"

"What did you do to her!" he screamed swing he hand at her she cought the claws on the edge of her spear.

"I warned you now-" she held his paw with the spear and raised another the area was incased in bubbles.

"enough."

Kiba looked over it was shino. "stay out." He yelled.

shino covered their hands with his bug so neither could move.hinata had also woken and was looking out the tent.

"kiba-kun…" hinata pleaded with her eyes

he growled but dropped his attack.

"don't stop you wanted a fight didn't you" she charged at him. "shino."

He had stepped in front of her charge holding his arms out. She had imedately stopped. He looked down on her. Tears streaming down her face. The spear retracted and was placed again on her side.

"I need a walk"she stood to her feet and jumped into the trees.

"shino-kun-" hinata said now standing out of the tent..

"stay with kiba " he jumped into the trees after her.

He found her in a small clearing..she was still crying holding herself. He walked closer.

"korena can you talk to me"

"why should I?" she sobbed

"because I have this?" she turned around. He held a jar. With a snake in it. Decapitated it lay motionless.

"when did you ?"

" when I checked where hinata had fallen from"

"I didn't mean to scare her so much."

"she gets scared easy. What really happened up there?korena you have to tell me."

"no I don't." he moved closer to her placing his arms on her shoulders.

"you can tell me anything" she looked into his glasses but imagened the eyes pleding for her to say what she longed to.

"she was resting against the tree, we were going to catch up but then it came out around the tree, so close to her, I screamed and killed it " she looked at the snake under glass

shuddered and held tighter to his body.

"you killed it with the "

"spear"

"you could still see the dryed blood on it when you where fighting with kiba , then you carried her away from it."

"but I don't think I hit her."

"you didn't, remember there was no wound blood must have splattered when you killed it"

"so I didn't hurt her"

"no you didn't"

"she hugged him tightly"bubbles began to swirl around them .

"Korena.what is ….. what are you….."

"im not" the jar holding the snake was dropped braking on the ground."shino"

then she colapsed in his arms. "shino" she whimpered before she passed out he then took her back to the cmap.

" korena-chan " hinata rushed over to her.

"shes fine a little out of it but she's fine, should be back to her old self when she wakes."

" what do you keep doing to her?"

"nothing"

"she listens to you, trys to kill me and hinata what do you-"

"no she didn't try to kill hinata , she passed out when she got frieghtened by something "

"is that true" hinata looked away blushing "y-yes"

"then shino-"

" Kor holds no grudge"

"kor? Are you shure there is nothing between you too?" kiba raised an eyebrow.

Honestly I don't know. I care so much about her but she is so- dificult to deal with but then why did she pick me.why me?

" there is nothing between us, this is just another transport mission.we move out in ten minutes." Shino sat next to Korena " ill watch over her."

"once again we do the work well come'on hinata."

"yes kiba-kun" she began to rush around and pick up camp"

"dude ive never seen you like this. What spell has she got over you?"

"none." She cant seem to control me, and what where the bubbles back there? " she cant control me."

"you dog you…" kiba elbowed him shino just stared at him " so your controling her then."

Shino cocked his head side ways. " your wrong." But was he, she listened to him. She didn't for anyone else… she even mouthed off to hokage! She wasn't afraid of kiba either. But for himself it seemed she just-

"shino weither you belive me or not , you do like her."

No I don't, no I don't, his head screamed.he looked over as he watched her breathing she is very peaceful unlike her earlyer rantings.
