Sorry it's taken so long to up-date but I've had so many school projects and all that wonderful stuff. I notice I had never described Shikira so there will be a description in this chapter…and on my profile.
I don't own Naruto…
It was a week before Shino, Hina, and I were graduating. I was so excited. Though we all hid our real skills, we still didn't slack off. Shino was at least at Anbu and Hina was borderline Jonin. I was so proud of them. We all helped each other out over the years. Hinata was still shy around everyone but she had stopped stuttering. I really hoped that we would be on the same team…
"Shikira-san." I looked up and saw my sensei, Iruka.
"Yes, sensei?"
"Break just started. You might want to go there and spend time with your friends." I nodded and got up and hurried out of the room and outside. I walked over to my friends. Shino nodded his head in acknowledgement and Hinata waved while starring at Naruto, her crush. I sat down with them and Hinata broke out of her trance and handed us a piece of her lunch.
"So are you two excited to graduate?" I questioned.
"Yes." They said at the same time. Though this seems awkward, it wasn't. Sometimes we were very talkative and other times we were silent. I nodded as I finished my rice ball and lay down on my back. I closed my eyes and thought about the past.
Hinata once asked if I liked anyone and I told her that over the years I had thought of Shino as more than a friend. So, yes I said it, I like my best friend. I was planning on telling him today after classes. I know what you're thinking, aren't you afraid this could ruin your friendship? Yes it might but so would kissing him in the middle of training.
"Hey, Shino?"
"Yes, Shikira?"
"Want to train together this afternoon, since Hina-Chan has to go to a clan meeting?"
He nodded to me. I was very nervous but hey, that's life.
It was after classes and Shikira was leading me to our training grounds. I was nervous we hadn't trained without Hinata there for a long time. I didn't know how it was going to turn out.
After a guy's day out with some of the other guys in our class, I had figured out that I liked, liked Shikira. So the only thing keeping me from confessing my feelings was Hinata's presence. We arrived at the training grounds and started to stretch.
I thought about Shikira and the life of a ninja. I mean we could be killed as genin and I would never be able to show my feelings to her. We each got up and started to spar. We fought for an hour before stopping to rest. We sat on the edges under a tree for shade.
"Shino?"
I looked over to Shikira, and as she was preparing to say something I admired her beauty. She was pale but most ninja were, but what added to her paleness was the darkness she applied around her eyes. Her eyes were almost a spilt eye color. It was almost a sliver color with black surrounding it, with her pupil in the center. Her black hair was shoulder length and covered her left eye unless she pulled it back. Her mouth was a pale pink and small, but grew when she smiled. She wore a dark grey shirt with fishnet under it. Her pants were baggy cargos with black sandals on her feet…
"Shino, I like you." She said after a few minutes. I blinked knowing it wasn't what I felt towards her.
"I like you, too?" I said it as a question, fearing what was going to come next. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"No, Shino, I mean I like you more than just a friend." My eyes widened though she couldn't see it behind my glasses. I had no way to respond to that so I did what I thought was best, though somewhat impulsive. I pulled down my collar and I kissed her. Though it was 2-3 seconds it felt like minutes or hours. We broke apart. She smiled, I smiled.
"So, I guess that means you feel the same way." I smiled as she whispered that.
"Absolutely." I replied and kissed her again
