Well this is going to be my new chapter two. I'm sorry the last one was so short but it was like three pages so I thought it would be just as long boy was I surprised!

Shino was working hard it was already past 8 and this was the third house he had painted and he was up to his fourth fence. He helped repair the civilian's school house and helped Iruka teach his students about making different types of clones. Secretly thanking his bug clones for helping him work. He'd find a way to repay them later, but right now he needed the money. Well not really, he didn't cause well he was the sole hair to the head of the Aburame clan, but Hinata, she didn't have anything and he was determined to treat her like the princess she was all along. Hashi would regret his mistake in letting her go. Shino wiped the sweat from his forehead on the back of his sleeve, while he reached down to drop the paintbrush back into the empty bucket of paint. Straightening up he released some more bugs to help him clean up his mess. His beetles buzzed happily as they flitted lazily through the air performing the tasks they were asked to do. Shino turned and bent down to pick up the supplies, and noticed another chakra presence approaching him from behind. The beetles in his body began a slow, low hum that grew louder with every approaching step, as if they wished to greet the oncoming presence. The presence coming close enough that he could hear the "click" of each step the kunoichi's heels made.

"click, click, click, shft." Her feet sounded as she stopped directly behind him.

"Shino-kun?" He heard Hinata's soft voice ask.

As Shino turned around all he could do was raise a single eyebrow above his glasses taking in the sight before him. There standing in the rays of the mornings light like so many princesses in fairytales before her was Hinata dressed in…

'Are toughs my coats? Wow! She looks amazing! I-is she wearing my glasses!'

"mmmhmm." shino cleared his throat. "H-Hinata? Um wow you look good." He squeaked as the large blush spread across his face, down his neck, and up to the tips of his ears, Shino silently prayed and thanked every god and goddess in existence, myth, and lore, that his hood, collar, and glasses hid his blush. All the while cursing himself for rambling like a drunken Naruto or Kiba.

"S-shino? A-are you alright?" Hinata asked in a panic at her team mates unusual behavior. As she hurriedly stepped forward to see if her team mate was alright the ex-hyuga tripped on a rock in the road that had went unnoticed until it was too late and she crashed head on with a very nervous and somewhat horrified Aburame. Upon realizing what had happened Hinata quickly sat up only to find herself straddling Shino's broad, muscular chest.

'Broad and muscular chest? When did I start describing Shino, my team mate, "Shino" like a love sick fan girl?' Hinata thought eyes widening a bit as she remembered she was still straddling "Said team mate".

"H-Hinata? Umm can you get off me?" Shino asked.

'although then agene she can stay as long as she likes, just I'd rather not give the little old lady in the house her next bit of juicy gossip for bridge night.' He thought looking up to the window of the house to see a figure vanish behind the aged curtains.

"Shino-kun! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Hinata said putting her hands up in honest defense. Shino smiled even though he knew no one could see it. Shaking his head lightly Shino did something only his close family, and that dumb ass Naruto had seen him do once on a mission. Shino tilted his head back and started to give an all out belly laugh! His base like laughter reached Hinata's ears as she stood up. It seemed Shino's laughter was very contagious, because the shy and somewhat withdrawn little ex-hyuga began to shake with bouts of her own melodious tinkling bell like laughter. Shino started to roll on the ground and howl, cause for what ever reason he couldn't think of at the moment Hinata's shy naive innocents at what had unfolded struck him as hilarious! Minuets later Shino finally settled down and wiped a tear from his eye from under his glasses.

"I don't know what was so funny or what just happened Shino, but I'm glad. You have a wonderful laugh!" Hinata said earning her a genuine smile from Shino. He even pulled his collar down for her to see. Swiftly pulling his cloths back into place Shino sighed.

"Me too Hinata-chan, me too. Now then, are you ready to go to the Hokage's?" His only answer was a shaky nod. Turning Shino reached back and grabbed Hinata's hand pulling her gently forward towards the Hokage's office. As Hinata started walking she noticed he did not let go, or pull away.

'I hope this is okay. I've never shown a softer side to any one before not even her really. It's in the rules though a good shinobi shows no emotions. Sigh. Oh well, looks like the rules just got screwed! But for her, I'm okay with that.'

'I hope Shino's okay. He's been acting a little strange today. I hope I didn't do something.' Hinata thought, a little frown forming on her face.

They walked down the road hand in hand earning very odd looks from the villagers. A young boy and a little girl were playing a game of what looked to be "ninjas" a little further down the road. The two "ninjas" looked up and saw the two "Aburame" and scurried to the side of the road. The Children bowed deeply as the real ninjas started to pass by. This caught Hinata's attention. She let go of Shino's hand and walk over to the children. The boy straightened up and looked a little frightened, while the girl bowed deeper her hair falling forward to cover her face. Hinata squatted down to be level with them and said "If you two keep practicing maybe one day you'll get into the ninja academe. I hope to see you in the field one day." both children looked up pleased to hear the kind words and smiled nodding there heads. they turned and ran home to tell there parents'. Hinata smiled stood up and walked back over to shino. She shyly grabbed his hand as they started to walk agene earning her a small sigh and a light squeeze of the hand from shino. Little did they know it but they were thinking the same thing

'I could really get used to this.'

As Shino and Hinata walked into the Hokage's office, Shino felt Hinata stiffen with fear. There sitting at the desk in the waiting area was Naruto.
