Pre: Hidan and Kakuzu.

They took off to the trees going into positions. Lee and Gai were up the front, Kakashi Shikamaru and shino were in the middle and Kankuro and Neji were at the back. Shino had his kikai further ahead scouting the perimeter. Five hours later: "Shino are you sure you're ok with this?" Kakashi asked from next to the bug user. Do you think I should change my mind?

No, you must stay with the Nara. His kikai didn't elaborate, he didn't push them. Stupid bugs keep more secrets than the Hokage shino thought as he collided with a tree trunk falling down and being caught by a net of kikai. "Shino are you ok?" asked the copy Nin from right next to him. He is fast.

"Ah … I ran into the tree. My body is fine, but not my pride" shino muttered the last part his kikai rushing back into his body. Shino felt empty without his kikai even though he let them out to exercise back in the village but it was different out here when they could get hurt.

Kakashi gave shino an eye crinkle which was a smile for the masked Nin. "Everyone we are going to camp here tonight, so Gai you and lee will set the tents up" Kakashi said to the spandex wearing ninja. "Kankuro and I will gather some fire wood for dinner. Shino, Shikamaru secure the perimeter set some traps and shino leave some of your bugs out to watch for intruders. Neji stay here and use your byakugan to watch afar until the perimeter is secure" he ordered. Shino and Shikamaru grabbed their backs and walked out a fair distance setting small traps and large and leaving kikai in random places. Once they set the last trap shino sat down on the ground and rummaged around in his bag until he found what he was looking for.

"What's up shino why are you sitting down?" asked the shadow wielder sitting down across from the bug master. Shino wore the typical Aburame high collared jacket with small hooks on the front of his, with a green jacket over that so the only part of his face you could see was his glasses and a bit of his face. Shino pulled out the small circular gourd from his pack and put his ear to it. Good all the bugs are fine.

"Shikamaru can I ask you a question?" asked the bug wielder holding the gourd.

"Yeah shoot" said the lazy Nin looking at the clouds through the thick canopy above.

"Do you fear the kikaichu?" the teen asked looking at the face of the other teen to gauge his reaction. A thoughtful look crossed Shikamaru's face before he answered.

"Well of course doesn't everyone? But not in the way you think I am." The ninja shifted his gaze to shino looking into his glasses "I fear the kikaichu if I ever got into a fight with someone who has them but other than that no I think they are quite cool!" he answered honestly.

"That is a relief" he placed the gourd down in front of Shikamaru "there are some of my kikai in there. My father gave this to me before the mission." Said stotic teen explaining how to open it and control them. Shikamaru's face was that of astonishment.

After that they both walked back to the camp to see lee and gai doing push ups with sweat rolling off of them. Kakashi sitting near one of the trees reading his book, Neji was meditating near the fire and Kankuro was sitting on a log near the fire fixing his puppet salamander. "Ah there you two are" said the sand Nin putting his puppet down and looking at them.

Kakashi got up and walked over to the fire and sat down "Gai, lee come over here!" yelled the copy Nin trying to tell them over the constant stampede of numbers. They both looked up and ran over to the fire sitting down staring at the leader of the group. Kakashi was on the side with the line of tents behind him, Kankuro was on the log next to him, Neji flanked Kakashi with gai and lee leaving only enough room for the other two so they sat down next to lee and Neji. "This is the sleeping plan, Lee and gai" said the jounin looking at the two which started crying "I get a tent by myself. Shikamaru you and shino will share one—" he was cut off by Kankuro who had a devious smile on his face.

"Kakashi they can't share a room the two love birds" he said smiling wickedly at the two. Shikamaru was about to say something when shino intervened.

"Fine by me Kankuro, we can share a tent my kikai don't bite unless they get hungry!" he said ten kikai fly out of his clothes going near Kankuro who swatted and killed two of them. Before Kankuro could blink there was a kunai digging painfully into his Adams apple. Murder him. The kikai in his body hissed loudly, the sound being projected all over the camp.

"Do. Not. Touch. My. Kikaichu. Ever again, or I'll kill you" shino said into Kankuro's ear his kikai were so furious they started slowly coming out of shino's body and landing on Kankuro. Who didn't move an inch, though he was extremely nervous he was in a cold sweet.

"Shino stop now. Don't hurt him you could cause an international incident" Kakashi said to Shino. He was slowly moving around the side of the fire to stand in front of the fuming Aburame. Kakashi was about to stand in front of Shino when all the kikai that were on Kankuro flew to the spot between Neji and lee to land on Shikamaru's arm the kikai circled around his arm until they all found a spot to stand still. Everyone looked over at the shadow user who was trying not to laugh but failed miserable when he started laughing hard until his eyes started watering. Shino took pity on the Nara and called his kikai back to his body letting the Nara regain his breath.

"This is such a drag, troublesome Aburame" Shikamaru said slouching down and glaring at the two ninja that started the whole incident. Shino turned around from the group of ninja looking at his and left the camp walking deeper into the forest. Shino walked for about an hour or more until he found a small waterfall. The waterfall was about shoulder high the water lead into a little pond, trees blocked out everything except the waterfall and a large rock that was nest to the waterfall. Shino walked over tho the rock and sat on it and looked into the water. He saw his reflection and a shiny object flying towards him, shino just managed to duck before the wire rapped around him. Shino looked up in time to see more wire coming before it caught him and pinned his arms to his side so he couldn't move. Shino was about to run when something pressed into his back.
