He was sitting on the swing alone, watching as the other children played with each other happily, playing tag, red rover and make believe.
He looked at his hand as he brought it up to his face, inspecting the insect crawling around on it. He didn't have any in his body yet, he wasn't old enough, being only 4 years old, but he was looking forward to getting his own when he enters the academy to train to be a ninja. This was a lady bug.
He stared at it intently as it scuttled about, tickling his hand as it did, before it spread its wings and flew away.
Saddened by this, he watched it as it flew, and landed on a young girl, not too far away from him, who was playing tag with a bunch of the other girls.
It had landed on her nose, making her go cross-eyed as she tried to look at it, it made her look funny and he let a small smile loose.
The other girls she was with moved back with high-pitched shrieks, pointing at the small bug on the end of the girl's nose. She looked at the other girls reactions with curious eyes and then said, "It's just a lady bug."
The other girls looked at it with grossed out faces, saying that it was still a bug.
"Yeah," Said the girl, "but it's pretty!" She said with a smile.
The other girls shouted "Freak!" Before running away from the girl. She just lifted her finger to her nose, allowing the lady bug to climb onto the appendage. Not long after, it flew away from her, and back to him, landing on his cheek.
The girl followed the lady bug and stopped in front of him. He looked into piercing blue eyes, but quickly looked away with a blush.
She smiled and sat on the swing net to him. "Do you think it's pretty?" She asked.
". . ." He kept silent, embarrassed that someone was talking to him, especially such a cute girl.
After a while she leaned forward on her swing to look him in the eye and repeated, "Do you think it looks pretty?"
He silently nodded, blushing madly after his response earned him a bright smile. "Me too!" She exclaimed.
"Do you like bugs?" She asked.
He nodded again and her smile got even brighter. "Good! It's nice to meet someone else who likes bugs!" She said happily.
He nodded once more.
"I'm Kagome! Kagome Higurashi! What's your name?"
He sat there silently for a moment before replying, "Sh-Shino Aburame."
"Nice to meet you Shino-kun! I hope we can be good friends!"

He was thinking about the time they first met, he was so shy and everyone avoided him. She was the one who brought him out of his shell, she introduced him to her friends and he made many friends himself because of her. All because of her.
And as he stood at the end of the aisle, looking down at the young woman making her way toward him, his best friends at his side, he thanked that lady bug, with all he was worth.
Because that bug, had given him his life.
And his life, was Kagome.
