Sarathstra: Remaking this one as well. :]

Chapter 3: The Blood of a Girl

Shino wasn't sure what it was, but he liked the moment and had wished that there'd be nothing to stop it. It made him think more of his life throughout the years and how he met Kaoru. It was like he could feel her now; her soft skin gliding by his fingers as her blue eyes stared into him. His breathing was silent as was Sakimi's who was actually closing her eyes for once. That was really how they stayed until the doorbell was destined to ruin this perfect moment.

'A perfect moment…'

Shino contemplated whether he should get up and answer it, but also weighed the probability that Kiba would actually get up. He didn't want to take a chance, in case it was his father again, and looked down at Sakimi who was letting one her bugs crawl on her arm. He thought it was cute, even though… the average person might not understand. It's an Aburame thing.

"You like to play with them?" he asked.

"Yeah," she said not looking up from it, "he's my friend."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, I named him Kujo."

Shino patted her head and told her that he had to answer the door. She understood and grabbed Kujo before she lifted herself up from him. Shino thought it was adorable that she had made friends with the creatures that crawled inside of her, but lost the thought when he remembered that he had to answer the door. Down the stairs he went thinking to himself that it better have been someone important on the other side of the door. He looked at Kiba and saw that he was still sleeping; what a moron. Sakimi watched from the stairs as he walked closer to the door, then opening it.

"Hey, wow, we never thought you'd return," he said.

"Well, we're finally back, believe it!" came the voice of an annoying yellow haired boy that walked into the room.

"It's great that we can finally visit you," a young blue haired lady said smiling as she came in. "C'mon children!"

"Be careful, Naruto and Hinata, Kiba is sleeping."

Naruto and Hinata walking into the house with two little children following behind. A little boy, Arashi, came marching in behind Naruto and a little girl, Kazuya, walked shyly behind her mother. It was amazing how the two looked just like their parents except both children were blessed with the Byakugan. Sakimi stayed still just watching everyone from the stairs; she wasn't sure what to make of Naruto, but found the Hinata to be very calming. She watched as Shino walked over to the couch and sat down.

"HEY KIBA WAKE UP!" the boy yelled.

"AH!"

All of the people, including Akamaru, started to laugh how Naruto woke Kiba. Sakimi stopped giggling before the others had, but she kept watching with the greatest curiosity of him. Kiba grabbed his chest to feel his heart racing at a fast pace and just breathed in and out until he was back to normal. He glared over at Naruto and looked over at Hinata.

"Hello Hinata, Arashi, Kazuya."

"Hello Kiba"

"HI!"

"H-hello"

"You put it on yourself, Kiba," Shino said.

"Well, at least I didn't knock up that crazy bitch!"

Shino raised his eyebrow and glared at him, but of course it was hidden by his glasses. Hinata and Naruto looked at Shino and Kiba and wondered what was going on and what they were talking about. It didn't seem real to them, even when Shino explained to them the situation. Naruto started laughing, Hinata tried to cover the children's' ears.

"What's so funny?" asked Shino.

"It's totally not true!" yelled Naruto laughing.

"It's okay, Sakimi, can you come down here?"

Sakimi looked at her father and took Kujo into her hands. She was nervous at first, but soon walked down the stairs and next to her father. Naruto and Hinata couldn't believe their eyes that there was a female Aburame in the house, but they had to. Hinata smiled and greeted the girl along with her children. Sakimi looked from the father to Hinata and walked over, sitting next to her on the couch. Naruto looked at Shino and laughed even more, which made Kiba laugh to.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" screamed Naruto.

"That's a first," Shino muttered.

Kiba and Naruto started making jokes on Shino, which didn't affect him much, but made Sakimi angry. As she saw that her father wasn't going to stop them, she began to make hand signs and soon had control. Naruto made another joke about Sakimi and Shino, but this time, Kiba wasn't laughing. He looked over at Naruto and told him to stop. He asked why he should and that was when Kiba lunged at him. In surprise, Naruto moved out of the way in a hurry, which made Kiba land on a chair that'd been behind him. The children, except Sakimi, were enjoying the fight between Kiba and Naruto. Shino and Hinata weren't sure what'd happened to Kiba and soon, Shino looked at Sakimi. There was something different about her, her eyes… they were dark brown the last time that he'd looked into them, but now they were a deep blue. Naruto watched as Kiba lunged at him again, but this time, Naruto struck him with a jab to the arm as he passed by. Kiba landed on the ground in a thud that sounded painful, everyone except Sakimi went to see if he was okay. Sakimi shook her head and winced a little while Kiba blinked and was wondering what'd happened.

"You mean you don't know what just happened?" Hinata asked.

"Nope." He said truthfully.

"What just happened?" Naruto asked scratching at his head.

Shino looked at Sakimi and saw that her eyes had been blue still, but they were fading back to brown little by little. There was only one place that he's seen this type of move and he was afraid to admit it. No, he wasn't afraid of his child, he was afraid of the woman who he loved. He knew that he was going to talk to Hinata about what'd happened because she looked at Shino as well and wanted answers. Naruto helped Kiba up and for the rest of the time; they just talked about random things that happened on their mission. It'd happened to be around nine thirty-seven when Shino excused himself and Sakimi. He brought her upstairs and into her bed so that she could be rested for tomorrow. Sakimi looked up at him, her eyes fully brown, and wondered what they were going to do tomorrow. He replied that he'd be a big secret, but she'd enjoy it. He kissed her forehead and told her goodnight, then leaving the room and back downstairs to the crew. From what'd been said on the mission, they were in the village of the sound trying to obtain something for Lady Tsunade. Hinata had explained to Shino that there was an interesting type of insect while they were there, which caught his attention and made him ask questions. Kiba listened, but tried not to get creeped out about his obsession with bugs.

"Okay, please, let's change the subject!" Kiba pleaded.

"Wow," Hinata said doing as he wanted, "I can't believe that your father took care of her all this time."

"Yeah," he said, "she's amazing… Hinata, can I speak to you in the kitchen?"

Hinata and Shino walked into the kitchen and they stopped at the very end of it. Shino looked over and saw that Naruto and Kiba were talking, laughing, and playing with the Uzumaki children so they wouldn't hear what they were talking about. There was something on his mind about what happened today and he was sure Hinata knew what he was going to say.

"There's something about Sakimi that I think I am making up, but I think it's true," Shino began.

"What?"

"I think her mother was apart of the-"

"Hinata!" Naruto called.

"Sorry Shino, tell me later."

Shino nodded and excused himself again so he could go into his studies. He took a deep breath and took out his black book and his pen and continued on his page:

"… There're weird things going on and I fear the worse to what my love's clan was. I never knew what she was, but now I believe I've figured out all of these years. I can't believe it just dawned on me this moment, but it has… and if it's true, I'm now curious… but, what I believe Sakimi did wasn't nice. I can see now where she gets it from… oh boy… If I am right, my daughter is part of or in the same field as the Yamanaka clan…"
