How to love a Snake
(Shino's love story)
Hey, guys I know that this chapter was short, but I couldn't help the way it ended. I love that last sentence so much that I thought it had the courage and light to ride out as a good ending for this short chapter. I'm slowly but surely coming out of my writer's block. And this happy ending is exactly what I need. Oh, I added alittle bit of Hebi's pass, so guys can alittle more about who she is. I decided that I'm going to show a little insite on her past in dreams to make it a little mysterious. I hope you enjoy this short chapter and comment on what you think about it. I'm still open for suggestions. Thanks for reading.

Hebi's Dream
"Happy Birthday, baby girl" my mommy said in her usual sweet voice. "Thanks, mommy."I giggled as I took the present out of her soft,gentle hands. I got up from my sitting position on the living room floor and wobbled my way towards my best friend,Sasuke,who was sitting on the sofa between his mommy and daddy. "Hey, Sasuke want to help me open my present from mommy with me." I said with a big smile on my face. I giggled when I heard a gruff 'no' from Sasuke. "Come on, Sasuke it will be fun. Then afterwards we can go outside and play." I nudge the gift to him. "I DON'T TO HELP YOU AND I TRULY DON'T WANT GO OUTSIDE A PLAY WITH YOU! I HATE YOU! YOUR A DEMON, A MONSTER. YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU! YOUR DAD IS A KILLER, A MURDERER, A DEMON OF SNAKES! AND YOU ARE JUST LIKE HIM. I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Sasuke yelled as he knocked the gift out my small, defenseless hands. I heard a shatter, like glass had fallen on the floor. I crawled to the sound of the shatter and found out that it was my gift that shattered. And like that gift my heart shattered with it. That was my last birthday I shared with my mommy. That was also my favorite birthday because that night I cried and cried. So, mommy had to comfort me and tell me that Sasuke didn't mean what he said; and that he truly didn't hate me. That night was also the night my mommy lull me to sleep with one of my favorite lullabyes for the last time.
End of Hebi's dream
My head feels like someone is pounding it with a hammer and my eyes burn like poison lava. "Hebi, wake up. Hebi." I heard a stern,gruff voice say beside me. I tried to lift my eyelids up,but they were sealed shut. "I can't daddy. I can't, I'm blind" I whispered to the voice. Never in my life have I seen the face of my father and never in my entire life have I heard his voice, so to hear him now is a shocker. "WAKE UP!" I jolted awake by the yell of the unknown voice. When I opened my eyes all I saw was complete darkness that hugged my vision with a tight grip. "Yea, right. I remember now, I'm blind. Always have and always will be." I thought sadly to myself. So if that voice did belong to my father I would have never known it because I was kissed with the curse of darkness. Out of no where I heard a sob and then another until the unknown room I was in was filled with them. "Haha, who's the loser that's crying." I laugh to myself as I reached my hands up to my swollen checks. My fingertips parted a waterfall of tears that flowed gently down my checks. "Right, I'm the loser, who is shedding the tears." I sobbed to myself. I felt smooth,scaly scales rub against my outer thigh as it wraps itself around my small waist. I knew it was Viper,who was trying to comfort me. We both knew he couldn't do anything at this moment that could heal my shattered heart. Shatter,Shatter,Shatter! That sound was the only thing that I could hear. Over and over the sound of a glass heart that is being shattered over and over again. Now, that I think about it. My heart was always meant to be shattered from the day I was born and it was never meant to be glued back together again. I remember one time when I was young I loss the pieces to my favorite puzzle and I cried to my mother that I couldn't find them any where. And my mother told me that a puzzle can always be put together to make a perfect picture, but when some of those pieces go missing then it takes looking under the sofa to find those missing pieces, so that the perfect picture can be whole again. I never got what she was saying back then and I still don't get it now. I guess she was referring to life. I guess I'm the puzzle with missing pieces, but no matter how hard I looked under the sofa I just can't find the pieces that would make me the perfect picture again. I guess I will never understand what she was telling me. I guess if she was alive now and I asked her about it. All she would do is giggle and say 'it will be revealed to you when the time is right,but right now it is time to start baking cookies'. My mother was filled with so much happiness that the biggest cookie jar in the world could barely contain it. But someone just had to go and shatter that cookie jar that held her happiness and her life.

I watched in agony as the cute little mystery girl, who I later found out her name was Hebi, sob uncontrollably in her little hands. She was in an upright position with her head in her hands and her long,silky jet black hair cascaded down beside her in a pool of darkness; surrounding her. For a moment I thought that darkness was just going to devour her hole. I turn to see Hinta and Sakura practically fighting the tears that was pushing against the glass; yelling about how the want to be spilled. I watched as Naruto,Kiba,and Kakashi walk out of the hospital room with their heads down. They probably left because they couldn't see a innocent girl break down like that. And Sasuke, who was just starring at her with his arms crossed over his chest. I guess I can actually say what's he thinking because with him you will never know. I can't really say what I'm thinking either because right now my heart is telling me to hold her in my arms and my brain is telling me not to move a muscle. Never in my life have my heart and mind have disagreed on anything. So, I just stood there starring not moving a muscle and wishing that I could hold her warm body in my arms again.
(Hebi's POV)
"Man,why can't I stop crying" I cried to myself. My body and heart is filled with so much pain. I can barely breathe because my heart is pounding so hard in my chest that it is knocking the wind right out of my pretty, pink lungs. Then I heard a sweet,melodic voice whisper "Hebi, sweetheart. Pain is just an illusion". "Pain is just an illusion. That sound so familiar, but I just can't put my finger on where I heard it from." I said in my head. "Pain is a trick played by the mind. But if you tell your mind that the wounds that have kissed your body was nothing,but battlescars. Then, your mind would see them as a past memory that should be laughed about. So, my child. Laugh at the pain that was inflected upon you and remember that pain is nothing that you should shed tears of sorrow for." the sweet,melodic voice whispered once again. I don't can't remember who that voice came from,but it was right. Pain is nothing,but a trick played by the mind. So with that my sobs of sorrow turned into laughter of happiness and my waterfall of pain turned into a waterfall of healing. I laughed so hard that I rolled of the side of something hard yet soft at the same time. I landed on the ground with a loud thud. "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPEN!" a voice of a male yelled. His yelling just made me laugh even harder, so hard that my lungs was burning from the lack of oxygen that it was conceiving. I refuse to cry over pain and to only just laugh at it. I'm not as weak as you think I am, no I'm the daughter of Orochimaru, so I must be the best of the best and be the strongest of the strongest.
