italic Hinata thoughts are in bold Shino thoughts


(Training field a few days later) Hinata hit the pole relentlessly though instinctively as she panicked mentally over her task, Shino he would never like me, no never! She saw a bug crawl on the pole and stopped immediately, "Oh! I'm sorry little one, i almost squashed you." She scooped it up on her finger and turned to give it to Shino when speak of the bug lord himself was right there quirking an eyebrow at her. She jumped, "S-Shino, I was g-going to take t-this little guy," She swallowed, "To you, he was almost killed." Shino quirked, "Thank you Hinata," Hinata smiled OK it's now or never Hinata! "Shinowouldliketogogetsomelunchwithme?"

Shino tilted his head, "Hmm?" Hinata breathed, "Whould you like to go get lunch?" He nodded, "Yes Hinata." Hinata smiled fighting the blush that was rising to her cheeks. He noticed this and raised an eyebrow, She's acting very peculiar almost crush like, Heh her? Hinata would never she doesn't like me or my bugs, which just makes this mission more 'interesting' as Kurenai had called it. I wonder what He's thinking about , They walked almost silently until they reached The Ramen Shop Hinata looked up and giggled, "Sakura had a dinner date with Naruto and-"Oh no I almost told Sakura's secret, what would ino do now? No her ideas are too flashy as Tenten's are too um well tenten, Temari? no to insulting, she likes guys who can take and dish quips um Sakura? I suppose it'll work i mean she had Lee's and has Naruto's affections.

Hinata breathed and looked up to see Shino moving to get the door She smiled at him sweetly and walked in. Shino felt something and his eyes widened as he followed her in, What? She smiled and what is that feeling like my bugs grew wings and are convening in my stomach? He smiled genuinely back although briefly Hinata was surprised all the same, thankfully Teuchi came over to take their order before she could clam up, "Hello Hinata Shino, the usual i presume?" They nod and Shino looks directly at the nervous Kunoichi in front of him, "Hinata?" She had gone back to her nervous finger thing and he had noticed, "Hinata look at me." she jerked up and nearly fainted, Shino is really, whoa without his glasses. A soaked Kiba and akamaru came in the human one shirtless, "Two words Fan girls. Maybe i should start wearing dark glasses like you Shino." He laughed and Akamaru jumped into Hinata's lap knocking her over. "hinata!" The young men looked at each other after they had chorused in union.

Hinata finally relaxing for the first time that day, Kiba, She sighed, "wait! must avoid!
