I'VE POSTED A SIDE-STORY TO 'PIMP MY SASUKE ONE MORE TIME'! :D (Yeah, I couldn't leave it alone...)

Here's a sneak peek:

"I don't think this is the right way to be doing this, Sasuke…"

"Shut-up. It's quick, easy, and painless. They won't feel a thing."

Sasuke was currently in the process of 'exterminating' ants with a magnifying glass. Quick, easy, and painless. Yeah right.

"Are you sure they're not feeling anything?" Naruto questioned, observing the little withering ants over Sasuke's shoulder. "Cuz they look like they're in a lot of pain…"

"Well, they're not," Sasuke retorted, moving on to the next little victim.

"Then why are they-"

"Naruto," Sasuke disrupted, still burning the little, red vermin to death. "Why do you always have to question everything I do or say? Look, I came up with this idea, so I know what I'm doing, okay? The ants are fine, there's no problem."

"If you say so…" Naruto consented, still regarding the scene with a wary expression as another ant bit the dust. Or, became dust in this case.

"What the hell are you two doing?" a mysterious voice from the trees demanded, startling the murderers.

They exchanged quick looks, already knowing who the voice belonged to, and cast their eyes to the, now-visible, owner of the voice.

He was the same age as Naruto and Sasuke, with curly, almost afro-like, brown hair, big coat, and sunglasses. Yes, he was none other than the bug-loving Aburame Shino!

Naruto and Sasuke shot up, Sasuke hiding the magnifying glass behind his back quickly, and they waved nervously. "Hi, Shino…"

Unfortunately, Mr. Shino was NOT in a happy mood. He jumped down from his perch and glared at the teammates through his dark glasses. "I'll ask again: what the hell are you two doing killing those poor, defenseless ants!"

Their eyes widened and they exchanged freaked-out looks. Shino was not one to get angry, but when he did, look out.

"Ants? What ants?" Naruto responded, clearly scared out of his little mind.

"I don't see any ants here," Sasuke added, trying to hide the murder weapon even further behind his back. "And we definitely weren't burning them with a magnifying glass."

Shino's eye twitched and he pointed into the hubbub of the village. "Go. Now."
