Hidden, Longing, Invisible
Hinata is like a butterfly. She started out to be plain; almost unnoticeable, always hidden within the shadows of her fellow teammates, within the shadow of her sister or her family. Like a caterpillar, she was small and insignificant. But also like a caterpillar, Hinata grew and matured. Days went by where she worked and worked and worked. One day, with her face turned up towards the comforting sun, Hinata blossomed and became a beautiful butterfly, soaring into a vast sky.
Shino is quiet. He never says anything that is unnecessary or dumb, preferring to remain silent as opposed to drawing other people's attention. Like a spider, freaky, scary, alone. He weaves his own web and sits by himself in silence, waiting for his prey to crawl closer until they are trapped with his prison. "Trump card" as he refers to it as. The last laugh will always go to Shino. He may be quiet, but like they say, it is those who do not speak that you need to watch out for.
Kiba is the polar opposite to Shino. He is loud, appears insensitive and loves to draw attention to himself. He will work hard when he thinks that is needed, and like a dog, will remain loyal to the friends that he has, willing to die for them rather than to see them suffer. Kiba would cheer up his teammates when they needed it, providing comfort and friendship with his noise and actions. But he also knows when to stay silent. He will watch, carefully observing you for any danger that you may possess. Should you harm his friends, Kiba will hurt you for all you're worth.
A butterfly, a lowly bug and a mangy dog. No one else would care for them. Not when there are much more exciting things like Sasuke and Naruto and Sakura. Even in her clan, Hinata was outshined by Hanabi, fireworks- fast, unpredictable and beautiful in a wild, untouchable way. So the butterfly curled her wings, shying away from the flashing flames of her sister.
Kiba, meanwhile, knew he could never match up to Naruto, no matter how hard he tried. Naruto has so little, but somehow, more than what Kiba had. Naruto could win the love of the butterfly. The butterfly, who, despite the dog's tries, was attracted to the whirlpool, a vortex of excitement and courage. How could he compare to that? How could he make the butterfly understand all that burned within his heart? Kiba couldn't, not without hurting Hinata and her delicate soul. So the dog stayed silent and unloved.
Shino was lonely sometimes. For all his complicated strands, the spider still needed some of the simple things, like friends and the dew drops that clung to his web, giving rays of hope and light. Hidden beneath dark sunglasses and a long overcoat, the spider saw everything that happened, but he could do nothing but wait patiently on his web. However, a spider's web is so easily brushed away, and his dreams can be shattered like glass. So the spider could never amount to what he truly deserved to be.
A butterfly, a spider and a dog. Three animals. One hiding, one longing for another and one who will never be seen. All living and separating under the glow of the warm sun, fates intertwining and untying in the space of a lifetime. Watching over them, the sun could manipulate their lives so they could live happily together...or destroy them. The sun will provide for them for as long as they are useful, and when their times run out, the butterfly, the spider and the dog will be sent plummeting into the darkness that they call to, hearts ready for an eternity of watching...and waiting...and understanding that perhaps, it would have been better had they hung on for just a bit longer.
Another dark fic that was written on the spot. People are asking me for KibaHina, so I tried. Sadly, it ended up being very angsty and almost evil with the omniscient point of view and everything...also, there were only small mentions of Kiba and Hinata.
Well, that was a quick update for me, anyways. I enjoyed writing this, despite the troubles I had with using the right words and everything. Hope you enjoyed this! (I probably should update for my other fic too, but I'm feeling lazy right now. Must stop procastinating...)
Oh yes...the idea of the spider web is borrowed from Subaku no Mizu's 'Shatter.' Great story-you should read it.
