Chapter Three: Middle of the Night

"Well that was refreshing" Shino sighed as he walked out of the bathroom. Kiba want following him so he looked back. "Kiba?" he peeked inside "haha you look ridiculous" Shino laughed. Kiba had grown out his hair a bit since the Chunien Exams and not like just like a little bit his hair now as wet and hiding his eyes. Kiba was messing with it so it would dry with out curling up. "Oh shut up like your one to talk you had an afro" Kiba stated with anger dripping off every word. "I'm just gonna go ahead while you mess with your hair" Shino said dodging the damp towel that was thrown at him.

Shino slowly open the door with the key he got from the front desk. A welcoming cool breeze drew him in, as he shut the door he noticed Hinata under the covers sleeping. 'She's so cute when she asleep—hell whenever she's around my world is that much brighter' Shino thought. He had a crush on Hinata ever since they became genin and she was on his team. Kiba occasionally got in his way but often he had Hinata all to himself. (not in the weird way! lol) Shino walked over to the bed and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. He bent down and kissed Hinata gently so he wouldn't wake her 'too bad you'll never feel the same way about me' he thought settling down in the sofa chair he had claimed.

Kiba slid into the quiet room and turned on the lights. Shino was asleep with a book in his hand and he could make out a lump of sheets which must have been Hinata. Kiba switched off the light and slowly dressed in to a pair of boxer pants. He slowly walked over to the bed where he would sleep. Hinata was there asleep and breathing slowly he watched her and then bent down and kissed her forehead. "Good Night" he whispered wishing she was awake. Kiba climbed into the bed and shut his eyes as sleep over came him all he could think about was Hinata, the sleeping beauty next to him.

Shino awoke once he knew Kiba stared snoring and flaying his arm and legs everywhere. Which meant it was safe to go for a walk.

Once out side he stood in his pajama pants and a white tee-shirt. His hair had grown a bit too since the Chunien Exams, and now it wasn't afro style it was short (ish) and he got bangs. The air brushed his hair and caressed his face, taking in the moment Shino whispered "Hinata, I wish you were here". It almost seemed as if the wind answered "why" and he replied. "Because I love you" and it answered "Shino" just in Hinatas' sweet voice. Shino spun around and Hinata was standing there behind him with a confused look on her face. "Oh….my…..god" Shino choked out skimming her presence. Nice curves and the moonlight touching her blue hair. "Shino…umm….did I hear correctly what you just said to me?" Hinata said shyly. Shino wished she hadn't heard but no use lying to her, "What are you talking about?" He asked acting confused. Hinata smiled a gentle grin and slowly closed her eyes. "Hinata, Hinata?" Shino said waving his hand across her face—no response from her at all. "So Hinata, you sleep-walk….. Hahaha you're cute. So I could say anything and you would hear me?" Hinata snoozed soundly slumping into Shino's arms. "Ok" he said picking her up "Hinata, the way I feel about you is between us. I love you; you are my candle you bring light with you where ever you go. Kiba is my rival in love that's why I tease him, so I can win you someday. I know technically you're not hearing me at all. But just knowing you're in the presence of my words gives me comfort that some how you can hear me." He said placing her on the bed far away from Kiba. "You know what go sleep on the chair I'll sleep here" Shino placed her down on his chair and covered her up with his picture bug blanket (yeah poor Shino hasn't learned that teenagers don't sleep with cartoon bugs printed on their sheets) "I've gotta get rid of this thing" Shino mumbled to himself. Shino moved over far as possible as not to get in Kiba's way. Slowly Shino fell asleep to Kiba's snoring and mumbles.
