Disclaimer: dont own naruto, cuz if i did diedra would be dead, cuz that whole entire "ending everything with yeah" thing is really annoying. also, shino and kakashi would do the "nakey" dance more often. wait, when have they ever done the nakey dance?? good idea...
Author's Note(s): i no the summary says "Shino POV", but its gonna switch around between his and loki's. mostly shino's though, because i like the world seen through his sunglasses.
We were finally seated, thank God. Naruto and Kiba had to be dragged in by Shino, and I knew that I really was going to owe him tonight. If we made it through the night.
Shino plopped them in seats far from each other. Just as the Offspring so poetically put it: "Gotta keep 'em seperated." He took his seat between me and Kiba. He let out a sigh, and rested his head on my shoulder. Poor baby. I stroked some stray hair out his eyes... err, sunglasses. Whatever.
A prissy-looking waiter walked up to our table. He passed out menus with an almost look of disgust on his narrow face. I held back the urge to beat him into a better mood. He looked down at Shino and I with his nose held high, and an "Humph."
"Excuse me, Miss... Thing, none of that will be permitted in the Red Kimono. Sir, if you would be so kind as to pick up your head and sit straight, or I will have to ask you to leave." This came out as a hiss. Well, I don't take this kind of shit from a scrawny little runt that has to use a fake accent to make himself feel important. My blood pressure began to rise, and I could feel my nails lengthen into claws and teeth grow into fangs.
"Excuse ME, sir, but do you have any idea who the hell you're talking to? I'm Tobias Loki, head of the Tobias clan, heir to become Alpha of all Lupins, and a master of sword weilding, fire blood jutsu, and the silent kill." I really don't like whipping my pedigree out. I like to keep things like this in my close circle, but I sure as hell wasn't going to deal with this guy's attitude. No way in hell I was gonna have my night out with my boyfriend ruined because this guy's life sucks. Lot of hells tonight I see.
"I... I... am SO sorry, m'am! Please allow me to give you this meal upon the house! Free bar also!" Damn straight. I nodded in approval, and he nervously asked for our drink orders. Everyone got something alcoholic and non-alcoholic, except for Hinata, who stuck to water. Akamaru took his perch upon Kiba's head. I dared the little pissant waiter to say anything about Kiba. He kept his mouth shut. Smart man. He left to go get the drinks.
Shino snickered, obviously he had picked up on both of my rants, and found them extremely funny. The others just kind of gawked at the laughing Aburame. They decided he wasn't feeling well tonight and let out their own laughs.
"Damn, Fluffy, didn't know you had that in you! Did someone feed you after midnight or get you wet, you gremlin! Ha," Naruto spoke, and started to laugh at his own joke. Hinata laughed nervously, not sure that she should antagonize the werewolf sitting across the table from her. I could feel Shino's insects stir beneath his skin, and under the jacket that I had returned to him.
"Don't you call her that! If it wasn't for her, we would be eating ramen again! Like you would care," Kiba said, much to my shock.
"Not like she cares! Isn't that right, Fluffy?"
"Does she look like a kitty to you, Naruto? Or would you rather me send a few of my friends over in the morning and take you over as you try to piss? It can get really messy..." Shino warned. This shocked me, too. Pride swelled in my heart that he went to my defense. Naruto's face was priceless. A real kodak moment. Wish I brought a camera. Luckily, Kiba did. Absolutely priceless.
An icy silence overtook the party of 5's table, and everyone either glared at eachother or looked out for the waiter with our drinks. I did the last. So did Hinata. As for the others, the first was more appropriate.
Finally the terrified man rushed over and the Hyuuga heir and I snatched our drinks of his tray. I gulped my coke and vodka down with shocking speed. Her water went down easily. I ordered some vodka for her, seeing how she was going to need it, and I got some Jack Daniel's, that I knew I was going to need if I didn't want to go psycho and start tearing heads off.
"Hinata, you wanna go to the little girl's room for a moment?" I asked. I couldn't stand being at this table if I didn't have anything to keep me down.
She nodded and bolted from her seat with disturbing speed that would put Rock Lee to shame. Shino looked up at me with sad eyes as I got up to leave. 'Don't leave me here with them. Please.' He was so tragic looking that I couldn't help but say "Aww". I leaned down, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered something in his ear: "I guess I REALLY owe you now." His face lit up at my promise, and he sat back in his seat, a rather goofy look plastered all over his face.
Once we were safe in the restroom, I took a seat upon an expensive looking-sink. Hinata was too tame to do anything as rude as that. Instead she reached into her pocket, (where'd she get a pocket??) pulled out a cigarette, and placed it in between her lips.
"Got a light?" I snapped my fingers and a small flame flickered on my thumb, and it lit up her cigarette.
"When the fuck did you start smoking? Never saw that coming..." In case you haven't noticed, I have a bit of a potty mouth. Comes with being raised without a mother, I guess. The smell of tar and blue smoke attacked my powerful nose, and I sneezed into a tissue I had snatched out of a nearby dispenser.
"Is it bothering you, Loki-chan? I'm so sorry, but Naruto is a bit trying on the nerves, and I've resorted to this. I'll put it out if its bothering with you that bad." My eyes began to water, but I shook my head anyways.
"Whatever makes you feel better, Kitten. If Naruto is making your life so rough, than why don't you ditch his ass? At least for a little while," I said, biting back a cough. Naruto was my friend and all, but I have always been kida protective of Hinata. She was a poor little bunny that needed a mother-wolf to watch over her, and I complied, natuarlly.
"I love him. I can't just boot him out because his hyperness. I know he means well, and I can't ever quit loving him. Naruto has his perks, and I have to live with them. Its that way with every relationship. Its that way with Shino, too right?" Her pupil-less eyes pleaded for my reassurance that it is that way with everyone else, too.
"Yeah, no couple are perfect. Shino has his bugs, and they creep me out just as much as everyone else, but he keeps them to a limit because he knows they make me uncomfortable. Maybe you should tell Naruto how it ruffles your feathers, and he will do his best to calm down in turn." Its true, I love Shino with all of my heart, but even after 4 1/2 years together, I can't stand the feel of his bugs beneath his flesh. Luckliy enough for me, he settles them down or sends some away when I'm around. In turn, I have to keep some of my forest friends at bay when we spend the day (or night) in the woods.
"You should write a book, Loki-chan. I guess maybe on our walk home tonight we can talk about it. How did you bring up telling Shino about how his bugs creeped you out?" Her white eyes looked up into my own, full of innocence and questions. I don't think the girl has even lost her viginity yet.
"Well... I didn't. Being what we are and how close we are, he just kinda picked up on my signals, as I did his." She nodded and looked away, exhaling a cloud of blue smoke. I knew that I really didn't help her with telling him. I looked away in shame. Leaping agiliy from my perch I landed right beside her, placing my hand on her shoulder. Can't believe that she is taller than me now. Why must I be so short at 5'3?! Curses!!
"C'mon, Kitten, our drinks have probably arrived by now. You like vodka, right?"
"Love it. Loki-chan, are you an alcoholic?"
"Soon, Kitten. Soon."
Final Notes: im think that loki came out as kind of a bitch in this, but she's NOT!! its just she dosent do well under stress. omg, did yall pick up on that dirty hint i put in there?! also OMFG, sweet little hinata is a SMOKER!! well, she is with naruto. i would pick up a bad habit too. R&R my badger babies!!!
