A/N: OMG, I can't believe, once more, how badly written the second chapter of this story is. Not only did I so not continue, but I did not do a good job of it either! So I'll just continue from the first chapter...and change the story's summary. Yeah. Good idea. CHAPTER TWO: SHINO'S CLUB PT. II
After a very bad experience at the 'I-love-animals' club, Shino decided rather sadly that he should go and ask someone else! After all, there's billions of people in Konoha and at least ONE person must know of an interesting club he can join. Of course.
So, Shino began to walk about and talk to people as he did. The first person he met was Sasuke, who was just standing there, looking bored.
"Sasuke," Shino said stoically. "What are you doing?"
Sasuke kinda stared at him. "I'm waiting for Kakashi. He asked me to wait for him here like, 4 hours ago."
"Oh, that's too bad." Shino said, in a voice signifying he couldn't care less. "Well, I have to ask you the same question I asked you yesterday."
Sasuke kinda stared at him for a few minutes before he remembered. "Oh! I remember! That club thing, right?"
Shino nodded. "Yes. I did not find a good club to join yesterday."
"Oh, that's too bad." the Uchiha said in a voice signifying he couldn't care less. "Well then, maybe you can NOT ask me? I mean, there's billions of people in Konoha and at least ONE person must know of an interesting club you can join, Shino. What do you like?"
Shino pondered for a moment before replying. "Bugs." Duh.
Sasuke's face fell. "Well, that's too bad." He stuffed his hands into his pockets, not wanting to say that he was, in fact, TERRIFIED of the little critters because then Shino would just make fun of him. "I don't know of a club that likes BUGS. Maybe Lee does. I saw him staring at a beetle yesterday after training."
"I shall do that." And with that, Shino poofed away.
AFTERWARDS... Shino met Lee at the Survivor's Training Grounds and saw Lee kicking a log while repeating to himself. "If I don't kick this log 1000 times, I will have to run 2000 laps around Konoha!"
Shino kinda watched him for a while before Lee finally stopped kicking, jumped up and a wave crashed behind him. "Yes! I kicked this log not 1000 times, not 1001 times but 1002 times! A new record!" After a few seconds, Lee noticed Shino standing there and asked him, since that was the polite thing to do."What are you doing? Aren't you at a club?"
Shino stared at him. "If I'm not at a club, you can safely assume I did not find a good club to join."
Lee laughed heartily. "Yes! Of course! I'm such a fool!" Shino figured it wouldn't be very nice of him to point out that he was indeed a FOOL so he just kept his mouth shut.
"Sasuke said he saw you looking at a bug the other day. Do you know of a club that likes bugs?" Shino was hoping Lee would say yes. He couldn't stand another dreary day collecting bugs only to release them so he has more to collect later on in the year. Or his life. Yes, his life.
Lee pondered for a second. "OH! I remember now! Haw haw, Sasuke-kun is so ridiculous! I was just looking at that beetle because I was trying to shoo it away! I wouldn't want to kill a bug while I'm kicking a log! Not only is that kinda disgusting but it's mean and I'm positive you would come and beat me up if you knew about that! haw haw haw!"
Shino didn't reply. "I..see..well? Do you have a club you know of?"
Lee pondered again. "Hmm...it depends...well, I think I do know of a club! Hmm...yes...it's called the Mushi club!" (Mushi means bug)
Shino would've grinned but he didn't because then he probably would've freaked Lee out. "I see, thank you Lee."
And with that, he poofed away. "Your welcome, Shi-" He broke off, spluttering, as bugs flew into his mouth. I'm going to choke one day on this...Lee thought sadly.
AFTERWARDS...
Shino walked into the big, tall building that was the so-called Mushi club. "SHINO!" Shino whipped around in surprise to see Naruto, of all people, standing at the doorway.
Shino furrowed his brows as he walked towards him. "Naruto. What are you doing here?" He asked, stoic as ever.
Naruto laughed heartily. "Haw haw haw, Shino, you're so silly! I'm participating in the Mushi club!"
Shino felt VERY uneasy at this but said nothing. Together with Naruto, they walked into the great hall place and watched as a tall man in a wetsuit walk forwards. He pressed a button and a giant tomato fell in the middle of the hall.
"MUSH!" He yelled, waving his hands about.
Shino watched in amazement as several people, including Naruto, rushed forwards and began effectively pummeling at the giant tomato until it turned to Mush.
Lee...you bum...
