How to Love a Snake

(A Shino's Love Story)

Hey, everyone. I hope you enjoyed this pitiful fourth chapter. This chapter wasn't as good as I wanted to be because I had a bad case of writer's block. The whole time I was thinking "OMG, I need to update,but I don't know what to write". Sorry about how poorly this chapter was written, but I promise you that the fifth chapter would be so much better and longer. Thanks for reading and again if you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me your ideas. I love hearing from you guys, it makes me better myself from a really bad writer's block.

Chapter 4

(Shino's POV)

I was woken up by the sun warm rays peeping through my thin,white curtains. I let out a soft groan and reached over on my night stand, and grabbed my shades. Once my shades were on, I tossed my blankets off me and staggered to my bathroom while I let out another groan. 'For some reason I'm not in a good mood. It's feels like something is missing.' I thought to myself as I stepped into a steamy shower. The entire time in the shower my heart felt angry and I didn't know why. Once I was done with my shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist and draped a towel over my shoulders; I then walked to my room and threw on my usual outfit.

My mornings are usually bromidic, but this particular morning I feel provoked and anxious. I was on my way to the Hokage's office, I was bewildered by my current mental state that I didn't pay attention who was entering and exiting the village. It's a ninja's duty to keep his or village safe and right now I wasn't filling it.

(Hebi's POV)

I sighed in relief as I sensed us closing in on the gates of the village. My heart skipped a beat and began to pound a little harder. I gasped from the unusual feeling of my chest tightening, the sphinxlike pound of my heart, and the unusual feeling that I'm approaching something or someone who has the power to cease this odd feeling. Viper must have sensed my uneasiness and turned his giant snake head in my direction. I shook my head at him silently telling him it was nothing. After what seemed like forever Viper and I finally passed through the gates of the village. For the second time today, a small smile made it's way on my face because of the natural sounds of children playing and adults singing as they handled their daily lives. "Man I wish my life was like this, so peaceful, and full of energy and joy", I thought to myself as Viper and I continued our journey deeper into the village. "We're here Hebi", Viper informed me of our arrival at the local ramen shop. My smile grew wider as the steamy,tangy, and mixed spices smell filled my nostrils with great delight. I walked eagerly into the shop and took a seat on one of the tall bar stools. My ears perked up as the sound of sizzling grease, the dashes of spices, and the gentle sound of hot liquid being poured into an empty container. "Excuse me sir, can I please have a small bowl of your delicious ramen", I said in a very giddy voice. I heard the chef give me a rough yet soft 'Coming right up'. "Oh my gosh Viper, my very first bowl of ramen." I said with my body full of enthusiasm. Viper and I where peacefully sitting and waiting for my order when out of the blue a shriek was heard. "A DEMON! A DEMON!" a women yelled to the top of her lungs. Like if it was rehearsed, a bunch of gasps erupted into the air. Then, BANG! Sizzling,spicy ramen was thrown in my face with a castiron pan came flying right behind it. I fell on the ground in a screaming ball of pain. The boiling grease from the ramen bleed through my eyelids and kissed my exquisite eyeballs. My forehead ache in pain from where the frying pan hit. "AHH! MY EYES! MY EYES!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Aww,come on what on earth did I do to deserve this.

(Shino's POV)

I watched as a mysterious girl scream her lungs out from the pain of the hot grease and the pan. Every time she let out a blood chilling scream my heart cracked from pain. I looked at Sasuke to see a remorse look on his face. "Be gone from my shop demon", the ramen shop owner said savagely as he repeatedly beat her with the hot pan he just threw at her. I watched as the crowd of villagers gather around. The villagers cheered as the shop owner beat the unkown girl half to death. Never in my life have I seen the village act so bloodthirsty. It was like my whole world went into complete slow motion when the mys girl tried to get away from the shop owner. "STOP! PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU! OWW!" the strange girl screamed out as she crawled in the direction my team and Naruto's team. The transcendental girl crawled with every strength she had to get away from her attacker. Then I felt a small tug at the base of my pant's leg. I looked to down to see big,bewitching,exotic eyes. "Help me. Please I'm begging you. I'm not a demon I promise. Help me." the unfathomable girl cried tears of blood. I felt my body move on its own and picked up the crying girl, bridal style. I cradled her petite,beaten body closer to me. I felt my heart skip a beat when I felt her lay her head on my chest with a small,sweet 'thank you'. "Unhand that demon. She must be killed for what she has done." the shop owner sneered through his teeth. The owner had a look of evil and murder all over his face. I was about to speak when unexpected Naruto jumped in front of me. "Teuchi, what as gotten into you?" Naruto whispered to the shop owner. "Naruto, my dear boy. That is a demon and she is here to kill us all." Teuchi, the ramen shop owner, explained. "No, she is not. She is just a girl who wanted something to eat." Sakura stepped forward while pointing an angry finger at Teuchi. "That is no girl, that thing in Shino's arms is a demon. I would know because her eyes are eyes of a truly evil demon." Teuchi responded in the same level of anger as Sakura. "Umm, no offense dude, but you've just beaten a blind girl half to death. And she does not have demon eyes it just she was born with exotic eyes. The only way you could have known what her eyes look like if you would have asked her to show them to you, but most likely should have decline your request." Sasuke explain with his back to the villagers and his arms folded across his chest. I looked down at the barely breathing girl in my arms. "So, she's blind." I said to myself. Her beautiful,once silky, black hair is now tainted with the smell of spices. Her once pale skin is now bright red from the hot liquid. Oh, her eyes, her extraodinary eyes. Never in my life have I seen eyes like hers. I know it was just a quick glance because when she moved her head her long bangs covers them. It was like she was hiding them from the world, no it felt like she was hiding them from me. "Earth to Shino. Come on dude snap out of it." Kiba waved his hands in my face. I mentally shook my head of these confusing thoughts. I looked up to find Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, and Kakashi giving me strange looks; and to find Sasuke and Hinta practically rolling on the floor from laughter. "Whatever lets just get her to the hospital," I said in my usual gruff tone. I was stop in my tracks by a huge albino snake. "I can carry Hebi," the snake hissed in my head. I shook my head 'no' in response and walked around the snake. Now that I have in my arms I never want to let her go because she put my heart and mind at ease when she is lying here hebetudinous in my arms. "So, your name is Hebi. Well, Hebi I'm never in a million years letting you go, so you might want to get use to being snuggled in my arms because in my arms is where you belong." I silently whispered to her sleeping body.
