Author's Note(s): some people probably hate me for what i've turned shino into, but in a later story, i'll reveal why its crucial that he is what he is.
It smelled good here. The Forest of Death was the best place to go if you needed to turn into a wolf. In truth I like to change. It makes me feel like I'm alive. Once you get that wolfin blood pumping, there is no turning back. In human form, you can't just start running and chasing you tail. Well, a lot of people don't have tails when they're in that form. But when you're like this, nothing can stop you. All senses are heightened. When I changed, I chose the most common form. I became a gigantic dark wolf with a thick mane. This was the first transformation that I had ever seen Loki take.
My paws pounded the Earth. I was almost totally silent. Only person I knew that could do that was my Kitsune, but I'm a close second.
The urge to go and run made me decide to go see Kiba afterwards, in case he was still asleep. I needed to work of some energy if I planned on not killing him later.
I caught the scent of a snake slithering around. They had been seen more and more lately. This was MY territory, and no way in hell was I going to share my turf with one of those scaly freaks.
It attacked. A brown and green blur shot it self at me, fanged jaws opened wide and focused on my throat. What, did it think that I was going to be taken down so easily? Entire countries don't fear my kind just because we are giant, fluffy, puppies.
I leapt easily out of its path and the snake smashed its head into the unforgiving earth. Stupid reptile. While it tried to gain its composure, I switched back and stood with my arms crossed on a tree branch. It is easy to take one of these out when I'm in wolf-form, but to do it as a human is a greater thrill.
The snake's forked tongue flicked out of its mouth, tasting the air for my scent. It found it. Freaky yellow eyes met my own hidden silver ones. I grinned. This wouldn't take long at all. I sprung from my perch onto the beast's head, intending to impale it through the head with a sword that the Tobias clan had given to me on my last visit. The snake flipped me up and snapped its jaws shut with me body inside.
Actually, with some of my BUGS inside. I watched safe from the treetop. It had mistaken my bug clone that had the same scent as me for the original. I waved at it cheerfully. It looked very confused as the kikai beetles digested all of its energy.
Once they finished their meal, we headed to go see Kiba. It would probably make him feel a lot better once he realized that the bugs were full and happy with their large snake feast. The snake's empty shell of a body waited for a hungry scavanger to find.
Kiba's house was actually clean. His room was a diffrent story, though. Clothes, coke cans, cd cases, magazines, play station and xbox games, dog biscuits, chew toys, towels, old sheets, and oddly random objects were scattered everywher. Not unlike my room before Loki goes OCD and cleans it without me ever having to say a word.
Inuzuka Kiba sat on the edge of his bed, eyes plastered to a glowing tv screen, playing a racing game that hadn't even come out yet. Akamaru was destroying a stuffed mailman. The dog-boy hadn't said much, but wasn't shy about yelling at me to get my ass out of the way before he crashed and lost his high score. Asshole...
"So," he said, pausing the game, "What do you wanna do today?"
"..." This may seem mean, but when I'm trying to play nice and I get chewed out for nothing, I get a little moody.
"Aww, Shino, don't be like that, man! You WERE in the way! Oh well, I forgive you! Hey, where's Loki?" Kiba didn't seem to harbor any grudges over the fact that I had nearly killed him the day before. Akamaru did, though. His small little eyes were narrowed at me. He almost seemed to be giving me a demonstration of how he planned to kill me, the way he shook that poor mailman...
"She doesn't feel well, so she's sleeping in and maybe going out to lunch with Iruka." Kiba nodded, and Akamaru whined. That dog really liked Loki. I guess its because it has to suck having only Kiba to understand you. So when you get a chance to talk to someone that has an IQ over to digits, its pretty exciting.
"Alright. Wanna go for a walk? Oh, oh, yeah, I almost forgot! Did Hinata get home okay?" It is amazing how he can still be so concerned over her, even after she picked Naruto over him. I would be the same way for me, too, if Loki had chosen Kiba instead of me four years ago.
"Loki watched her go, and said that they made it fine..." I wanted to change the subject off of Hinata and Naruto for a while. "When I was on my way here, I spotted a new pet shop that may have some stuff for Akamaru... and you, I think."
"Great! Let's go! Come on, Akamaru! Shino, move your ass!" Kiba leaped up and flung the controller across the room. How many times can I take him telling me to move my ass before I kick his?
Final Notes: ooh... i feel dancing queen neji coming up soon!
