A/N: Yet another 3 and a half hours of looking for songs and thinking about songs. (Yes, I counted.) Grrr. I can't wait to get ahead where I have some song names already. Hope you enjoy! Note: French represents english while english represents japanese. French will be bolded.
This song is the creep by thelonelyisland. It's awesome, yet creepy and is used for humour's sake :D
Shinobu POV
"Shinobu... Shinobu wake up!" Kiba whispered, shaking her shoulder. He was trying not to wake Akio at the same time who had apparently taken to cuddling with Shinobu some time in the middle of the night as they slept.
"Huh... eep.. I'm getting up." Shinobu whispered, now fully awake and trying to pry off Akio. "Erm... a little help?" She asked looking at Kiba who quickly got her untangled and out of the tent.
"That was awkward..." He mumbled, taking a place by the dwindling fire.
"You're telling me?" Shinobu scoffed. Kiba looked concerned but didn't say anything. They had split up the shifts so each group had a three hour shift. So now they sat in a deafening silence, thoughts creeping along their skin.
"So... " Kiba trailed off, trying to think of something to talk about.
"So... when is that litter supposed to be born?" Shinobu asked.
"They should have been born already.. you're not supposed to take them away from their mother until they're at least six months old though. You can visit them when we get back if you'd like.
"Alright.. I think I do want one.. It would be nice to have a constant companion." Shinobu smiled
"Alright. You can pick one of them when we get back home." He grinned.
"Aide-moi!" A scream came from the tent Shinobu had been in previously, causing the two to jump up and get over there.
"Shit! You punks aren't getting in my way.. this kid here is going to make me money!" A rather obese man said, holding a knife.
"Shinobu-kun! Aide-moi! Ne laissez pas me prendre!" Akio yelled, attempting to bite the man.
"Put him down or we'll be forced to hurt you." Shinobu growled, sliding into a offensive stance.
"Ya right! Punks like you? You're probably just ninjas. You won't take me down." The man scoffed.
"Don't say we didn't warn you. Ne vous inquiétez pas." She spoke, she had learned a couple of phrases from Yuki and Aaron a long the trip. Simple ones so she could comfort or assure Akio in case of things like this. The man scoffed before Shinobu took off, darting and flipping towards them before jumping over head and landing behind them, swiping the knife out of his hand as she went.
"Will you let him go now?" She ordered more than suggested, holding the knife to his neck. Both Akio and the man stood wide eyed.
"Y-yes! I'm sorry!" He whimpered letting go of Akio. The moment Akio was free Shinobu grabbed him and brought him out of reach of the man. Before she could even talk to Kiba he was using fang over fang and drilling the man through a tree. He was unconscious to say the least.
"Etes-vous d'accord?" Shinobu asked now that Akio was calmer.
"Y-yes.. I'm fine. Thank you.." He mumbled, still clinging to her arm.
"C'est bien." She smiled as Kiba tied the guy to an undamaged tree. Kurenai could figure out what to do with him in the morning. She guided him back to his tent.
"You should get some sleep. Dormir.. er.. was that the right word? Don't worry.. Ne vous inquiétez pas. We'll protect you." She smiled.
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" He asked, looking a tad fearful. Too much english.. I don't understand..
"Je ne sais pas." She stated, hope that he could say it in english.
"Would you sleep with me?... I don't want to be alone.." He muttered looking away, a light blush covering his cheeks.
"I would but I need to guard. I'll be right here if you need me, but you need rest. It's still a long trip." She explained. He nodded sullenly before going back to bed and she went back to sitting with Kiba, eyeing the man from earlier. She still felt kind of bad but she honestly did need to guard.
Before they knew it the duo was watching a beautiful sunrise, consisting of vibrant oranges and pinks. Along with the sun it was getting warmer rather quickly. Shinobu wasn't a particular fan of the warm weather. Too hot for her, luckily they all had sunscreen. Soon the rustling of clothing and tents filled the camp sight as they doused the now useless fire. Everyone getting up and getting ready.
"W-who is he?" Hinata asked in shock as she noticed the man.
"He tried to get Akio last night.. we didn't know what to do with him.
"Untie him, he'll leave whenever he wakes up." Kurenai sighed. At least they hadn't experienced their first kill yet.
"Hai." Shino said before untieing the man and watching him slump to the ground, they were ready so they immediately left.
"Thank you both for earlier." Akio grinned at the two who were walking on the left side of his carriage.
"It's our job, it's no big deal." Kiba grinned, Shinobu rolled her eyes knowing he was mentally celebrating. His modesty got eye rolls and chuckles from his entire team.
"Aaron.. How do I say one moment in english?" Shinobu asked, walking a little faster so they were side by side.
"Un moment. If you want to say wait a moment it's attendez un moment." She explained
"Attendez un moment.. Alright.. So right now I know attendez un moment, Je m'appelle Shinobu, ne vous inquiétez pas, je ne sais pas, etes-vous d'accord, c'est bien et oui. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this.. can't really converse much though." Shinobu sighed.
"Haha, don't worry. You're making good progress. But can you translate all of that?" Aaron quizzed.
"Yup. Attendex un moment means wait a moment, Je m'appelle Shinobu means my name is Shinobu. Ne vous inquiétez pas means don't worry, je ne sais pas means I don't know.. I think I used it as I don't understand earlier. Etes-vous d'accord means are you ok and c'est bien means that's good or it is good. What is I don't understand?" Shinobu asked.
"It's je ne comprends pas." Yuki stated.
"Thanks.. Je ne comprends pas.. Got it!" Shinobu grinned, getting the hang of it.
"Ugh.. it's too hot out here! How can you guys stand living in weather like this?" Kiba complained taking off his sweater and tieing it around his waist, revealing a tight fitting t-shirt. Now that Shinobu thought about it, she had never seen what was under the sweater before. the same went for Hinata and Shino.
"Because we're used to it. It gets warmer." Yuki grinned.
"Warmer? That shouldn't be freaking possible!" Kiba growled, shaking the sweat out of his hair. He literally sparkled for a minute leaving everyone gaping. Kiba? Sparkle? Never thought I'd see the day..
"It's no big deal. Just don't forget sunscreen when you take your shirt off." Akio grinned, eyeing Kiba who immediately froze. Akio noticed and snorted with laughter.
"That self conscious? Don't worry, I'm sure your muscles are more than satisfactory." He winked before chuckling and relaxing his head on his hands.
"N-not what I was thinking!" Kiba turned red again. "Who does this guy think he is?" He whispered harshly to Shino, who just shrugged. Shinobu sighed, bringing her fingers through her hair. It was too hot out and she was sweating; and she was wearing the least amount of clothing on her team, being the only one without a sweater or long pants.
"Damn heat.. screw this." She growled, yanking her tank-top off, thankful she was temporarily a guy. "Kiba, where's the sunscreen?" She snapped.
"C'est sexy quand il est faché." Akio murmered and Shinobu ignored him grabbing the sunscreen from Kiba's back pack. Hinata on the other hand understood him and turned bright red, squeaking.
"Hinata? Hinata-chan? What's wrong?" Kiba looked up at the now shaky Hinata with concern.
"N-nothing." She squeaked. Akio's escorts just giggled, used to such language and terms.
"Do you need help with that?" Akio asked, looking at Shinobu attempting and failing to get sunscreen on her back.
"Erm.. I'm fine thanks. It's my job to help you.. not the other way around." Shinobu mumbled awkwardly shifting away from him a tad.
"Fine.. it's an order. I'm getting a headache from watching you attempt to do it yourself." Akio smirked. Shinobu looked dumbfounded and confused, looking towards her teammates and sensei for help. They all looked just as confused as she did. So in the end she found her self with her back turned to accio getting a sunscreen massage. Her face was turning bright red and Kiba looked onward, trying to ignore the awkward situation. Hinata was practically fainting and Yuki and Aaron were stiffling giggles. Shinobu was attempting not to squeak like a school girl and was as frozen as an ice statue.
When he finished Shinobu stumbled away awkwardly and Akio smirked, playing with the remaining sunscreen on his hands. Kiba growled but continued walking along side the carriage. Hinata and Shino kept a small distance and Kurenai watched everything unfold. Part of her felt bad for the boy, considering Shinobu wasn't a male even though she currently had the genitals of one.
"Jealous much?" Akio asked raising an eyebrow.
"Fuck you" Kiba cursed under his breath.
"Puis bais moi.. J'aime assez l'idée.." Akio whispered back, leaning in a little too close for comfort.
"What? I don't speak english.." Kiba questioned. It didn't sound good to him though.
"I said.." He started. "Then fuck me.. I rather like the idea." He smirked at Kiba's taken aback expression and leaned back in the carriage letting Kiba splutter to himself. He of course hadn't meant it. Not that he would mind kissing the red cheeked boy, but his reaction made the statement worth saying, even if he'd hear about it later from Aaron.
"Bastard..Who do you think you are!" Kiba shouted, finally getting his mind in order.
"The son of someone important. But don't worry, I don't do second class. If I want a ride I'll take Shinobu." He smirked and everyone's jaw's dropped. What? Did he just say what I think he said..?
"WHY I OUGHTA!" Kiba started but stopped at the touch on his shoulder.
"Stop... it's only two more days. Just deal with it." Shinobu stated and he would have thought it hadn't effected her but the dark red gracing her cheeks betrayed her.
"Fine.." He muttered, sighing in defeat. Shinobu was grateful she didn't half to defend Akio from Kiba but she wasn't so sure she could deal with this without getting agry herself. She was even debating revealing her gender to her team just to get him off her back.. quite literally. Within five minutes of the arguement Akio had wanted another piggy back ride.
"Should we take a break?" Kurenai suggested, quickly noticing the strain Akio was having on Shinobu after a second day of carrying. Yuki and Aaron were exhausted as well.
"Oui.." Akio agreed. Shinobu gave a sigh of relief when he was off, it was nice for her muscles as well as the blood in her face. He had taken to drawing circles on her chest in boredom and it was driving her crazy. She was barely restraining from hitting him.
"Damn back.." Shinobu groaned, twisting side ways to crack it. "How long are we resting for?" She asked Kurenai.
"You'll have enough time for a decent stretch if that's what you're asking." She smiled. It was interesting to watch Shinobu stretch because every week she got more and more flexible.
"Stretch? What are you talking about?" Akio asked, looking between the team in confusion.
"Sh-shinobu uses taijutsu w-when he fights. His t-taijutsu is a mixture between basic s-stances and a-acrobatics. S-so he has to s-stretch to k-keep up his flexibility." Hinata explained with a small smile. She had been stretching too. The flexibility helped her style a bit and would surely be helpful when she found her own style.
"Oh...? Can I see?" Akio asked with a raised eyebrow.
"S-sure." Hinata stammered before joining Shinobu in low lunges. Akio watched in awed interest as the two stretched. They had this odd serenity about them, taking the stretches and turning them into what looked like a beautiful display of dance and flexibility. The two stayed perfectly in synch. It was obvious that they practiced together a lot.
It definitely looked odd all at the same time considering Shinobu looked like a boy, but to Akio, he held such a proud posture yet showed the grace of a ballerina and a flexibility he had never seen in a "boy" before.
"Do you do this often or something?" Akio asked.
"Every day." Shinobu responded, swiveling to fall back into a bridge.
"Wow.." Akio whispered under his breath.
"Hinata.. I'm gonna keep stretching my back if that's ok." Shinobu said, moving onto her elbows in her bridge while Hinata kept going with their usual routine after a nod. Shinobu was determined to reach her ankles and she had been working on it everyday. Right now her fingertips barely reached the back of her heels.
"HOLY SHIT! You've improve Shinobu.. that's really creepy." Kiba shouted, immediately pouting as he got cuffed upside the head for his language.
"Thanks Kiba, I think your training is creepy too." Shinobu laughed. "Are we leaving now?" She asked stretching her arms and walking towards him in her bridge.
"Ya, and you knew what I meant." He grinned, giving her a hand up.
"Ya, thanks dude." She grinned. "Speaking of which, I need to talk to you, Hinata, Shino and Kurenai-sensei when we camp later. Alright?" Shinobu said, looking serious.
"Uh.. ya.. sure." He replied.
"I'll take my carriage if you walk in your bridge thing." Akio grinned.
"That strains my back if I do it for too long. It compresses my lungs and it hurts my hands." She stated, not really wanting to do either.
"Here.. I made these a couple of years ago.. they should fit you." he smiled handing her a pair of fingerless leather gloves.
"Wait.. are you giving these to me?" She asked, looking up from them in confusion.
"Yup. You can use them when you fight and practice. Then you can't forget me." He laughed.
"You're my first out of town mission.. I doubt I'd forget you." She grinned half-heartedly.
"That and he's a perv.." Kiba muttered under his breath.
"Either way, they can help you. They're yours now." Akio laughed.
"Fine.. but I'm gonna need breaks here and there." She sighed, falling back into her bridge and walking along side the carriage.
"That's alright." Akio smirked in triumph. Sheesh this sucks.. it would be so much easier if I could bend my back more and look between my legs to walk instead of walking backwards.. I'll get there. She mentally grumbled.
"I-I'll do it with you.." Hinata smiled, not wanting her teammate to be alone and taking the chance to work on her arm muscles.
"You don't have to if you don't want to Hinata." Shinobu said in an airy tone.
"It's a-alright. I n-need the practice." She smiled falling into a bridge before walking beside Shinobu, who slowed down a bit so Hinata wouldn't be left behind.
"So.. dude.. how did you know you were gay?" Kiba asked, walking on the other side of Akio's carriage.
"Hmm? Oh.. It's just.. nothing really.. guys are just more trustworthy, loyal and fun to be around. Plus they always have more muscles." Akio smirked.
"Girls can be trustworthy, loyal and fun to be around too you know." Kiba stated in slight confusion.
"Yes.. girls can.. but girls become women and women are lying, cheating whores." Akio growled.
"W-woah.. where did that come from?" Kiba looked shocked.
"No where in particular.. it's simply the truth." Akio stated, staring at his hands.
"What about Aaron and Yuki? You seem to like them." Kiba asked.
"They don't count.. they're not really girls.. they're.. ok well they're girls.. but the don't count as girls. They're different. Friends." He grumbled.
"But what about before they were friends? You had to have gotten to know them at one point." Kiba said cautiously, even he was smart enough to see he was treading in shark infested waters.
"I was stupid when I met them. I didn't realize what girls really were.. that was before.. ugh.. nevermind. Why do you even care?" Akio asked, eyeing Kiba suspiciously.
"No reason.. just.. making conversation.." Kiba mumbled.
"Well keep your nose out of my business." Akio growled.
"Got it.. sorry." Kiba said monotonously before moving a head of the carriage and walking in silence. Shinobu wondering what made him think like that as she tried to keep her footing.. well.. handing. For what was supposed to be a simple mission this sure was complicated..
A/N: Voila! Pervy lines, A secret and a love for Shinobu? What else is Akio hiding? Find out in the next chapter (or next couple of chapters) I hope you enjoyed this :D p.s I KNOW Shinobu is only 12. I also know she is a he with lots of muscles who is fairly tall. Akio is 15 for those who are wondering.
EclipseStripe: Haha, yup. She's probably sexy as a girl too but she never drops the genjutsu XD It's the Uchiha blood XD His reaction is soon MWEHEHEHE. Also, I wasn't sure if you meant the english as in the french or the english as in the japanese. So I bolded the french. Lol.
DutchyPuppy: I feel kind of sorry for them too but not so much after this chapter XD
Alli ate Sora-Sorry Roxas: Lol. That sucks. For me it's not math though. It's medical science =P Being a doctor is my back up plan. I'd love to be a performer. Preferably a circus performer but I'd be amazed with a dancer :P She manages. She's never identified with gender. only the need to survive and protect those to her close to her :P thanks for the song and the review :D I kept the song in my back reserves, not quite sure how i'll use it yet. :P
ThePheonix of Tears (2nd review): Another review? Lol! OMFG. Thelonelyisland *immediately thinks of rabbit sex, boats, grapes, boiled goose and fingerless gloves* LOL. I'll check it out. Kinda afraid but checking it out. *i am writing this before I checked it out so if it's the title you'll know I liked it or thought it fit* Ok.. so I watched the video.. I'm scarred and I officially love it :P I'm using it for humours sake XD *starts doing the creep with fake drawn on pencil stache lol*
ThePhoenixOfTears: Haha, that's because neither school nor dance have started and I'm neglecting packing my room. XD Haha, sorry it's so confusing. I confused myself with it. I would have done japanese but I dont know enough and it would be confusing. Yay almost melting moment XD Haha. And yes. Puppies. I think you'll have another freak out moment involving puppies later =P lol. YUP! The Pervy escortee XD An idea that I'm very happy to have gotten from you =P ya. I figure it's not all japanese. Unfortunately the language spectrum will probably get more confusing. Because english is japanese and french is english what happens when I need french? or spanish? LOL. Plus it makes for fun lines that the boys can't understand in the chapter above ;D lol. Aaah! Don't apologize for helping me. French is definitely not my first language. Other than studying it in school I've never learned. It's been a good 8 months since my last french class because I had it in first semester =P So I'll gladly take the help. P.S thank you for posting the actual line so I can fix it. Aah, as I edit I facepalm. I know most of this but because it's been so long I'm forgetting XD thanks about that. I think i fixed it all. If you notice anything wrong with future french please point it out XD I don't always notice lol. Merci! :D I see lots of "Hahaha"'s and "OMG"'s coming up XD Actually I think Kiba screamed in a "not so manly" fashion. Protective maybe, I think he's just used to Shinobu being his buddy and the gay thing isn't something he's used to. I'm glad I've managed to get you to laugh so much and yup. Akio moves a bit fast XD and he got his wish! Kiba's shirtless =P Akio is Shinobu's first fan boy. That number will probably increase after the great reveal XD Haha. Akio is fifteen and Shinobu is undeniably well built. He's muscley XD (pronounced 'muskley' lol) you have to admit that the ninja are all well built and Akio doesn't know their ages. They look older then they are and Akio is a perv. lol. YAY! I made someone's day :D Day two.. is interesting. LOL. Oooh you wanted to know the pronounciation? Nii-chan is knee-chan. As in the body part. Nee-chan is Neigh-chan. Like the sound a horse makes. Or like how Canadians say "eh". Well put an "n" infront of it? I updated quick and I'm super grateful for the songs XD Thanks. Unfortuneately most if not all of them are going to end up being used for future stuff so I'm screwed for now. But thanks, ur songs effected the story line a bit XD Got any funny ones? lol. Thanks for the review. THIS WAS LONG O.o
