Sunglasses
Kurenai waded gracefully into the lake.
Hinata stroked to its center.
Akamaru bounded in.
Of course Kiba dog-paddled, catching up to Hinata despite his clumsy stroke.
Shino watched his teammates splashing in the water.
He looked at Hinata, wistful thoughts tugging his heart, loss coupled with happiness for her and Kiba.
Before joining his friends Shino adjusted his sunglasses.
They were a handy fashion accessory to have.
Better than Kakashi's mask, better than Iruka's scar, better than Genma's senbon for stirring up curiousity among the kunoichi, his sunglasses kept the sun out and his thoughts in.
