-2 years later-

Sakura was now 7 she had been with the Aburame's for two years now and it was the day of the Ninja Academy Entrance Ceremony the maid tasked with watching over her was mean and horrible 'She never let's me have any fun' Sakura thought pouting as Keiko scolded her again for the millionth time that morning "Do you hear me Young Lady now get dressed in your kimono so that we can go to the academy" Keiko sighed her charge just had to be difficult today of all days 'And now she's sulking' Keiko thought amusedly.

"You can pout and sulk all you want Sakura-sama but you still have to get dressed" Keiko huffed out helping the girl into the kimono she had chosen just for that day when Keiko was done tying the obi she looked the little girl over with a critical eye before nodding "It's acceptable Sakura-sama now go brush your hair Oh Shibi-sama" Keiko had just ushered the young girl off when Shibi appeared with Shino at his side "Keiko-san your as strict as ever" Shibi chuckles watching as Shino walked over and took the hair brush Sakura was using away from her.

"Hey that's mine Shino" Sakura cries out angrily standing from her bed to glare at her slightly older brother it had been determined that she was a couple of months younger than Shino "Sit down imouto-chan" Shino teases lightly his rare playful side coming to the forefront still glaring Sakura sits back down facing Shino when he gestures for her to face the other away huffing Sakura turns sulking a few minutes later the brush was being run through her mid-back pink locks all of this was watched by the adults who struggled not to laugh at the two siblings.

"I'm finished" Shino announces 11 minutes later hopping off of his little sister's bed and hands the brush back to the shell-shocked girl smugly "Ok stop antagonizing your sister Shino and Sakura come along now we have about exactly 50 minutes to get to the academy and sign you two up for classes" Shibi notes the time before taking the two children by the hand and leading them out of the Aburame compound through the forest and then through the entire village before finally reaching the academy exactly 35 minutes later 15 minutes to spare Shibi sighs out in relief.

Entering the academy his children in tow Shibi meets their homeroom teacher Iruka Umino before filling out the enrollment packets the academy had one for each of his children before letting them mingle with the other children that would also be enrolling turning to watch when Sakura lets out a happy squeal and attaches herself to a blue-eyed blonde 'Naruto Uzumaki the demon of the Hidden Leaf Village' Shibi thinks a moment later barely restraining himself from ripping his precious little girl away from the horrid boy apparently other childrens parents had the same idea of removing Naruto from Sakura.

Shibi watched on fearing for Sakura as she stayed firmly planted next to the confused boy as a few adults near the two start ordering Naruto away from Sakura "That's enough Uzumaki-san isn't harming her" Shibi defends despite his feelings on the matter and this makes the adults back off "Thanks dad" Sakura hugs him affectionately while staring up at him innocently and Shibi knew he was hooked and he could never deny his daughter anything so if Sakura made friends with Naruto he would accept her decision and not complain because he never wanted his daughter to be upset.

Later on Shibi was working in his office while Sakura and Shino were given there lessons "Ok Sakura-sama today I want to see you use the teleportation jutsu" Keiko ordered and Sakura hopped up concentrated her chakra and her mind on a specific location and disappeared with a light pop before appearing next to her "Very good and now you Shino-sama" Keiko asked frustrated already because she just knew that Shino wouldn't get it again and just like her thoughts the boy failed for the millionth time failing to execute the teleportation jutsu perfectly like his sister was currently doing.

Keiko could tell that Shino was frustrated with himself "Ok Shino-sama why don't you use your jutsu to summon bugs" Keiko smiles kindly at the boy while walking over to the energetic girl "Why Keiko-san, why can't I do that jutsu and she can" Shino's voice calls from behind her and Keiko turns around to see the boy getting ready to throw one of his rare tantrums 'Oh boy' she thought when he started in earnest "It's not fair I'm Shino Aburame the true Aburame Heir and a girl that father picked up on the streets has better chakra control."

The shout fills the room echoing off the baren walls as Shino stomps his little foot "Why can she do things that I can't and why does everyone call her a bug master I'm better with bugs than she is so why" Shino throws his arms up in the air angrily while tears begin coursing down his cheeks "It's not fair, it's not fair, IT'S NOT FAIR" he bellows drawing attention from other clan members "Shino-kun" the words are whispered very softly the hurt in them so clear that it makes Shino stop and finally realize what he had just done.

Tantrum over now Shino is filled with guilt because he had hurt Sakura's feelings massively if the look on her face was any indication skin paling very quickly his father had warned him not to upset Sakura or he would get punished and he had just said the worst thing he could ever say by mentioning her previous lifestyle "I'm sorry Sakura I didn't mean any of that" Shino whispers trying to smile but it comes out as a grimace while he walks over to the crying girl his guilt increasing when she runs from the room sobbing loudly.

Hearing the commotion Shibi exits his office right as Sakura comes running down the hall blinded by her tears and running into inanimate objects Sakura doesn't see him as she races by sobbing instead of going to find out what had happened he would get the story from Keiko later Shibi follows Sakura up the stairs to her room where the sobs increase in volume slowly opening the door Shibi pokes his head into the room to spy Sakura lying on her bed head buried in her pillow shaking violently as sobs rack her little body and enters her room.

Instead of asking what had happened Shibi sits on the bed and pulls Sakura into his arms letting her cry on his shoulder a few minutes later Sakura's shaking slows to a stop and he pulls back holding her at arms length to gaze into her emerald green eyes "Sakura are you alright now" Shibi asks wiping away some tears that roll down her cherubic cheeks "Yes, dad I'll be ok now" Sakura hiccups out but something in her words told Shibi that she clearly wouldn't be ok until whatever upset her was resolved patting her head Shibi stands.

Exiting Sakura's room he heads toward the indoor training room where Keiko and Shino should still be his guess was accurate and suddenly he realized what the problem was because as soon as he entered the room Shino's skin paled and his son threw up his lunch on the floor apparently Shino was feeling very guilty for whatever he said Shibi thought briefly while Keiko cleaned up "I think Sakura being upset with you is enough of a punishment don't you think" Shibi smirks at the boy who nods solemnly "Yes, father do you think she'll forgive me" Shino asks.

"Depends on what it was you said exactly" Shibi bends down in front of his son removing his sunglasses to make sure Shino understood him to prevent this from happening again "I told her that she was just some girl on the streets you brought home" Shino drops his head sadly "Ah and didn't I tell you that mentioning Sakura's life before us was forbidden" Shibi asks strictly "Yes father" Shino gulps thickly "Then you know what you have to do regardless of if Sakura forgives you" Shibi stands putting his sunglasses back "I understand father" and Shino hurriedly escapes.

Shino quickly runs up the stairs and stands in front of Sakura's door panting softly before quietly opening the door to his sister's room to look in Sakura was still laying on her bed but it was apparent that she had fallen asleep her face was rubbed red and tear tracks were still drying on her cheeks "Imouto-chan" he calls out entering and padding across the room "Shino-kun" Sakura gasps awake tears immediately begin pouring down her cheeks again at the sight of him and Shino sighs regretfully but his fathers words make him try to apologize anyway despite this.

Climbing onto the bed Shino quickly reaches out to hug Sakura who struggles to escape his hold "Sakura, please" Shino begs sadly and Sakura stops her movements never before had she heard Shino sound that sad realizing that Shino had Sakura's attention he begins "I'm sorry Sakura I deeply regret hurting you it wasn't right of me to say something like that just because I was frustrated at myself and I know that's no excuse but I reallly don't want you to hate me because of this" Shino breathes out all in one breath before turning and looking at Sakura.

"I don't hate you Shino-kun" Sakura finally gives in to her brothers pleading gaze and forgives him instantly "Does that mean you forgive me" Shino asks hopefully "Yes Shino-kun I forgive you" she gives him a tight side hug before pouting knowing that look on his sisters face Shino chuckles while releasing her from his hold "And Shino-kun there are plenty of things your better at than me" Sakura teases lightly to lighten the sombre mood "Ah" Shino answers back dully before the two burst into laughter Shino chuckling and Sakura giggling until both children were yawning loudly in tiredness.

A few hours later Shibi heads up the stairs to check on his two children first peeking his head into Shino's room only to find him not there before looking into Sakura's room and there on the bed curled around each other on top of the covers were Sakura and Shino sound asleep entering the room Shibi chuckles softly not wanting to wake them as he pulls the cover out from beneath them and lays it over the two gently bending down to place a kiss on Sakura's forehead patting Shino's hair saying a soft goodnight Shibi exits the room.
