Chapter 4
Three Day's Wait
Nikkie sighed and sat down heavily on the wall's edge. The boy's low monotone voice still echoed through her head as she stared out into the clear water.
Already, she'd been careless. Of course, it wasn't entirely her fault. The sneak had followed her.
She wasn't used to hiding her power by herself. It was different when her sister…
Nikkie shook the thought from her head. Her sister was no longer in the picture. It was better to not bring her up.
Besides, she had a new goal. She needed to find out who this boy was. She only had three days. She needed to start her search tonight, and she was going to need some help.
Nikkie raced back to the center of the village. She slowed as she neared a familiar street. She could hear the loud voices of the young shinobis fooling around the corner.
The girl smiled to herself. She knew already one person that wasn't him.
As she turned the corner, an unruly head of brown framing a grinning face came into view.
The dogboy's animal like eyes glanced over in the direction Nikkie was coming from.
"Hey, I thought you were tired!" He said in a teasing way.
"Coffee." The brunette gave him a small dimpled smile. "Hey, would you like to go out tonight?"
Kiba's friendly face immediately turned into a goofy fanged grin.
--
For once in his life, Shino had been a complete idiot.
The boy sat in a tree, staring down at the rough bark. He was ashamed. He shouldn't have followed Nikkie. He knew a secret that he wasn't meant to know. Besides that, the Aburame was foolish enough to challenge the girl to try to identify him.
What was to happen if she did find out who knew her secret? And first of all, why was her water abilities a secret to begin with? How did she have this ability, and why?
That word screamed in his brain over and over again. All he wanted to know was "why?"
Shino tried to shake the questions out of his head. This was none of his business. He wasn't even sure she'd be able to identify him as the sneak. For once, the anti social ways of his clan might come in handy. People easily forgot about Shino and he would seem to become invisible before their eyes from his ways.
"Hnn." Shino sighed to himself as he tried to recollect his composure.
He shouldn't worry. She probably smart enough to find out who he was.
--
"So, what do you like to eat?" Kiba sat across from Nikkie in a restaurant not far from the town square.
"Oh, anything. You decide for me." Nikkie smiled that pearly smile of hers.
Kiba's blushed, his fanged grin going across his face.
"So, what can you tell me about the other guys our age?" the brunette rested her head on her hands, keeping her elbows the tabletop.
"Well, there's Shikamaru."
Kiba pointed outside the window towards the boy staring at the clouds, hair pulled in a ponytail. "He's kinda lazy if you ask me, and he gets bored way to easily. His voice always seems like he's sort of annoyed. He's a good guy, though."
Nikkie nodded, giving him her half smile. It couldn't have been him. That voice was too fit the description given by Kiba.
"And you know Naruto." Kiba pointed out the window at the goofy blonde laughing at something someone said.
Nikkie definitely knew Naruto. The hyper active ninja boy had tried to ask her out every day she'd passed by him so far. He had way too much stamina, was way too excited, and was too energetic. But at least he was kind.
No matter how kind he was, the knuckle headed ninja's personality didn't fit the boy who had followed her.
"And that's Chouji."
Chouji was a fairly large boy with a round face. She could hear his loud voice from the inside of the resturant. It was definitely not like the one that challenged her.
She sighed, frustrated about not knowing who the boy was. She lay her head on the tabletop.
She knew she'd heard that voice before. It had said her name. She knew it. But the boy hadn't addressed her at all earlier. She'd had to tell everyone who she was when she moved here… except one…
Nikkie's head shot up from the table. "What about Shino?!" there was an edge of excitement to her voice.
Kiba looked at her strangely before grinning. "He's quiet, I guess you could say. Isn't exactly the social type. And although he's my friend and teammate, he is kind of freaky.
I mean, you see how he fights. And he always has that superior attitude, acting all cool and collected." Kiba paused to take a breath. "But he's a good guy underneath it all."
Nikkie smiled. "I'm sure he is."
--
The sun was setting as Shino stood at the edge of the rocky training field. He released a handful of his kikaichu, ordering to see if she was here. She was, of course.
The three days had gone by so fast it practically slugged the Aburame in the face. Shino used his teleportation jutsu to poof into the very same place he had hidden just three days ago. The Leng girl sat on the wall surrounding the lake, looking straight at the shrubs he was behind.
"So, you actually came?" She had a smirk on her face as she tried desperately to hide back a grin.
"I said I'd return, didn't I?" Shino replied in his low tone. "So, I guess I need to reveal myself to you, since you were incapable of figuring out who I was." Shino smiled behind his collar.
Nikkie's blue green eyes widened and her eyebrows arched, making her features become very sharp. "Excuse me? I do believe I figured out who you were!" She hopped up from her spot on the wall. "You aren't the only superior one here, Shino Aburame!"
Before he could stop himself, Shino had slid out from his place behind the bushes and rushed to the girl's side.
"No need to shout." He spoke into her ear.
Nikkie 's anger slowly drained out of her face. "Sorry."
"No, I should be the one apologizing." Nikkie looked at the boy in fascination. "I shouldn't have followed you here. It wasn't my business, and now I know a secret I shouldn't."
She couldn't believe how serious and respectable he sounded.
"It was a beautiful ability." He murmured.
"You know…you're welcome to come back."
He stared at her through his shaded glasses.
"I will."
He turned to leave.
"See, you tomorrow, bugboy," Nikkie tugged on his earlobe from behind.
He hurried to leave, her laughter floating behind him.
As he came off the training ground, he looked behind him, back at the area that led to the hidden lake.
"See you tomorrow, Nikkie Leng." The boy said under his breath before hopping away from the grounds.
Cute, huh? Well, It'll be awhile before my next chapter comes out. I'm trying to get together a handful of fanfiction writers to write a mini story and publish it in a book altogether, where the profits of it will go to Breast Cancer. If you're interested, message me. Thanks!
