Summary: The Bug and the wind girl. Temari and Shino? Odd couple? Yes in deed! But maybe that's what makes them a good couple…

Chapter 2: Training grounds

As they sat down eating lunch together, the ninjasnoticed that Shino was just staring at the trees. "What are you doing over there? Come join us to eat!" Kiba said to Shino as he gave Akamaru a piece of his sushi from his bento box.

"I had a rice ball already." Shino said as hewalked away. But then Hinata cae out of the shadow of a treeand hesitantly walkedtowards him until she was parallel to him, staring at him right in the face.

"W..why not j..join us." Hinata's shy demeaner made her begin twiddling her fingers. The Aburame's expressionless face was beginning to make her anxiety worse. All she could do was wait there until he responded.

"I'm going back to train, if you want to join me then hurry up. If you don't, then you'll fall for everything I'm going toset up in the forest. I'm warning you about this now so don't get mad." Shino said while he walked away into the forest.

"I'm not scared. Akamaru can… I better not say. How long do we need to wait for you to set up?" Kiba said not afraid of what he might set.

"Give me 20 minutes. Oh and Gaara, and Temari if you want to, you can come along as well."

" I don't think so. But Temari, you need the training so stay and do what ever it is they're doing." Gaara said getting up and walking away.

"Whatever." Temari voice was filled with annoyance. She hated the fact that her YOUNGER brother always had the right to order her around. What the fuck? She had rights as a human being too you know.

After the 20 minutes had passed, the Shinobibegan to walk the way Shino had went. From there, every thing just simply went wrong. Shino wasn't lying when he said 'come with me or suffer by yourselves'. First Hinata tripped over a wire and Kiba had caught her just in the nick of time because he noticed that a few smoke bombs had come flying towards their heads. They didn't expect to find traps this close to where they ate. Temari noticed that abeetle was onan Oaktree and remembered that he had some power that had to do with bugs.

"Hey! Doesn'the do something with bugs?" Temari asked wondering ifShino was whatching them at this very moment.

"'He'? Whose 'He'? Say names dammit!" Kiba managed to yell as he manage to evade the strong scent of the bombs.

"Shino you dumbass!" Temari shreaked.

" Uh, yeah... um, he can control insects. Well not control, but order them to do stuff." Kiba explained while Akamaru dodged two flying shurikens .

"Is that his? I think he's spying on us." Temari said pointing to the fly. She was getting ready to squash the fly, but Hinata stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Temari asked.

"It's another trap! Watch out!" Hinata threw a shurikin at the fly and hit another wire and tons of daggers flew at the four companions. "You see what I mean? That was a fly that was dead. Remember when his ants ate thaturine off you, one of his flies tried to eat it and it died so I guess he decided to use it." Hinata said explaining

'Don't worry Shino, we'll see who gets who first..." Hinata simply smirked and continued further into the forest with the rest.

I know, I know. It's still boring but you have to admit it is getting better, so please write reviews. It helps me with it. I might make Hinata a little OCish but don't mind her.
