A/N: Second chapter. Yays :) Although, it's pretty short and crummy, so yeah. *shrug*. I do plan on getting to the actual cabiny thing in the next chapter, but I couldn't miss a chance to see Kiba and Shino chatting. So, sorry if you were expecting better :)
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Naruto. Unfortunately, all I own is my DVDs.
Shino closed his eyes as he lay in bed. His thoughts had been twisting around in his mind for the past half an hour and they were all about a certain shy Hyuuga. He wasn't too sure what he was feeling at the moment, but whatever it was, he didn't like it. She was his team mate and friend…and nothing more than that. Liking her would only complicate matters. He couldn't.
There was a rattling at his window. He stood up, grabbing his glasses from the bedside cabinet, and pushing them on. He opened the window, and looked out, and frowned at a grinning Kiba. "What?" he said in sharp voice, as he stared at him. (*)
Kiba grinned and pushed the door open, then jumped in, followed by Akamaru. "Well, well, well, Aburame. I didn't know that you have been attacked by hormones just yet. You never told me!" he whined as he half-glared at Shino.
Shino blinked once as he stared at Kiba. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I believe that you are mistaken in whatever you have reasoned out with that mind of yours," he said calmly, his face not showing a hint of feeling.
Kiba snorted, as Akamaru yapped. "Get real, Shino. I mean, seriously? You expect me to believe that? Come up with a better excuse. You, my dear friend, have a crush!"
"I disagree with you," Shino lied. "And do you need something? I would like to go back to sleep."
"Dude, you've got to be joking? Both you and I know that you like Hinata. It's in your eyes!"
"Whilst I wear glasses?" Shino asked, attempting to straw away from the topic that Kiba was so desperate to pursue.
"Whatever. But you like her. Seriously, be honest. You do, and you can't lie to me Shino. We've been friends since…forever. That time when I smuggled Akamaru and you smuggled your bugs into school on the first day? And when Iruka–sensei tried to get them, and we had to hide them in the closet, and then we gave them to Naruto to hide, 'cause we trusted him? And he hid them under Iruka-sensei's desk, and Iruka didn't find them, but we still beat Naruto up for it? You were my best mate from that day, man, and you know it. Sure, you were really stiff when it came to sneaking out, and come on? Naruto and me would have done it anyway, but Chouji hates being stopped from eating to do non-important stuff, and he jumped out of the window, and even Shikamaru did. Seriously, come on. We were best mates since we were titchy. Plus it helps that I practically live right next to you," Kiba rambled on.
Shino rolled his eyes. "Please. Leave." He stressed each word as he stared at him.
"Shino…just admit it. You do like Hinata. What's so bad about it? She is cute, she's shy, she's quiet like you, she's got a nice body. I would like her too, if she wasn't such a close friend. Just. Bloody. Tell. Me," he glared at him, each word punctuated with a bark from Akamaru.
"I do. Now go," Shino hissed, knowing full well that his father had been aware of Kiba's presence from the beginning. And the barking would make him come down.
Kiba grinned, and jumped out of the window. "I told you so," he grinned, running off, clutching a still barking Akamaru to his chest.
Shino took a deep breath in and closed his eyes. He had told Kiba. Kiba would probably confide in…Shikamaru or Chouji. They would be forced into telling Ino once the blonde realised that they were keeping a secret. And once Ino found out…
He sighed, and rolled into bed. That could wait until morning.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
It had been decided by Ino, that everyone would come in with their team. This had been unanimously agreed by everyone, mainly to stay on Ino's good side.
Shino stood, watching Kiba chasing Akamaru. They had been waiting for Hinata, who was never late, for a few minutes now.
"Seriously! When is she going to get here?" Kiba whined, glaring at Shino as though it was his fault. Shino rolled his eyes, but, because of his glasses, Kiba couldn't tell. "Anyway...last night...so you do like our pretty little Hinata-chan."
"Another word from you, Kiba, and I swear that I shall give Akamaru fleas. And you as well," Shino stated, glaring at Kiba. Kiba merely grinned, knowing that Shino would never try that and stuck his tounge out at the Aburame.
"Kiba-kun! Shino-kun!" came a voice from behind them. The Hyuuga heiress was running, and behind them were Neji, Tenten and Lee. " Father wished for Neji to go with me, so Tenten-chan and Lee-kun are coming with us as well. I-I hope you don't m-mind."
"'Course not, Hinata-chan!" Kiba grinned, giving a slightly cold glance at Neji. Although the two had become well-acquainted with each other, and had even managed to become slightly awkward friends, Kiba still had a grudge against the prodigy for hurting Hinata during the Chuunin exams.
"Can we go now?" Lee asked, pumping a fist in the air. "We can't be late for this youthful party!"
Tenten rolled her eyes, but smiled. "Yeah, we can't. Let's go."
And with that, the two teams jumped off.
* Shino has a bottom floor bedroom.
And finished.
I'm not going to push you to read and review...but it would be nice, yeah?
