Sorry that I haven't updated for so long! And I'd had this chapter written and everything! The reason I haven't updated is because I moved house and moved in with my Fiance and we didn't have internet for ages, and more recently I've actually given birth to my first baby, my daughter Louise, so she's taken up all my time and attention! I had also given up writing this because I wasn't getting any reviews, but I'm now back and motivated to write! so a huge thank you to my reviewer and follower! Anyway, let the story continue!

Disclaimer- I still don't own Naruto :(

Shinakio was at home alone. For once in the sixteen years the twins had lived in Konoha, Shiho wasn't home with him. It was because she was out with Lee. On a date with Rock Lee. Lee! Shinakio couldn't understand it, how anyone was able to come between the time he and his sister spent together, and also the fact that it was Lee! One of Shinakio's best friends!

He got up of his chair and walked over to the bathroom, deciding he should get a shower. Well, there was nothing else to do… He turned the shower on and made sure that there was steam coming from the shower cubicle, he preferred hot showers. VERY hot showers. He undressed himself, leaving his clothes in a messy heap on the floor, and climbed into the shower. He released a huge sigh at the feel of the hot water hitting his skin, removing any built up stress or tension he had inside him.

He sighed and started massaging shampoo into his shoulder-length hair. It wasn't as if he had a problem with his sister dating Lee, in fact he was happy for her it was more the fact that there hadn't been a single day so far that the twins hadn't spent together until now that was bothering him, and Shinakio didn't like it much.

He leaned his head back letting the water wash the suds out of his hair. 'I'll probably need to get used to Shiho not being here all the time.' He thought to himself, 'I mean, one day she's gonna settle down with a partner, maybe start a family… I probably should too, so I can't expect us to be like this every day of our lives…' He sighed again.

So, Shiho had found someone, huh? Well, it was probably time for Shinakio to do the same thing. His mind wandered to the one girl in Konoha that Shinakio had a 'thing' for, Ino Yamanaka. With the thought of this beautiful girl in his head, he let his hand wander southward…

~~~x~~~

"Lee!" Shouted Shiho as she caught sight of her date stood under the tree next to Ichiraku's Ramen House. Shiho was absolutely shocked to see that lee wasn't wearing his usual green spandex jumpsuit, but he was wearing a casual shirt and tie combo with some blue jeans. She had never seen Lee wearing anything other than his spandex before.

"Hello Shiho!" Lee said as Shiho approached him "You are looking very beautiful this evening!"

Shiho blushed a deep crimson "Thank you Lee, you're looking amazing yourself! I've never seen you in anything other than you're training gear before!"

"Well I do still have these on" he said, showing Shiho the fabric strips he wore around his hands and forearms "and I have these, so I can be training where ever I am!" He lifted up his jeans slightly to show the weights he wore around his ankles.

"I think you look absolutely stunning" said Shiho. Now it was Lee's turn to blush, although, his wasn't as deep in colour as Shiho's was. "So where are we going tonight?" She asked, giggling slightly at Lee's blush.

"Well, how about we go for some ramen, then I would like to take you to my favorite place! It is where I go to train, think, and just relax too!"

"That sounds wonderful Lee!" She said, sounding really excited. She was really interested to see what Lee's favorite place was! Just then her stomach made a huge growl which made Lee laugh.

"Let us go and get that ramen!" Said Lee, as he grabbed Shiho by the hand and pulled her into Ichiraku's.

Once they had sat down Lee turned to Shiho, a slight blush on his face, he opened his mouth to say soething but promptly closed it and turned away looking embarrased.

"Lee? What is it?" Shiho asked, she had noticed Lee's awkwardness, but smiled at it, she thought it was adorable.

"I was just thinking," he said, his blush deepening to a brilliant crimson "I never thought you would actually say yes when asked you out on a date! I never imagined I would have the honor of taking someone as beautiful as you!"

Shiho giggled "Lee don't be silly!"

"I am not, I am telling you the absolute truth! I am so lucky, and you are beautiful! But answer me this, why did you say yes? do not take that the wrong way, I am asking because everyone else seems to think I am a bit odd, and they do not hide it."

"Lee," Shiho put her hand on his shoulder "truth is, I've really liked you for a long time now, and I don't think your 'odd', you're different, unique... You're not like everyone else, and i really like that about you."

Lee looked up, straight at Shiho, a look of awe on his face and his eyes even wider than usual.

Shiho continued, "I've actually been hoping you would ask me, but thought you never would! I honestly never expected you to like me too! and actually, I was kinda wishing you would ask just before you did..."

Lee looked stunned and was at a loss for words. Shiho found this adroable and smiled at Lee, earning a huge grin back from her date. Lee ordered their ramen which was eaten fairly slowly as the two were deep in conversation about allsorts, from training to (for a laugh) which of their friends would be most likely to become hokage. After their ramen was gone, Lee stood up, offering his hand to Shiho.

"Come on, Let me take you to the place I call my own, I want to share it with you."

Shiho smiled widely, took Lee's hand and stood up as well. "I'd love to Lee!" she said enthusiastically, then the two left Ichirakus and headed towards the main gates of Konoha hand in hand.
