"I saw we flip a coin."
"That's a stupid idea! We should just send you in to do it, you never have to do anything like this-"
"W-we'll flip a-a coin," a frail voice said pulling a coin out of her green vest, "C-call it Kiba-kun."
"Tails!" the three watched as she flipped the coin and as it landed on the ground with a soft click. She bent down and picked it up.
"I-It's h-heads, sorry Kiba-kun," she said in a soft voice as she put the coin away. Hinata Hyuga, heiress to the Hyuga clan and most soft spoken shinobi you could meet. She had midnight blue hair that stopped under her shoulders with bangs to frame her heart shaped face. Her skin was a porcelain pale color and her eyes were light lavender with thick black lashes to match. She wore dark blue pants and her green chunin vest over a long sleeved light lavender shirt, and her sandals were a different style the regular kind her own team wore. She was painfully shy, but could be one of the best shinobi in their generation.
"That blows!" he yelled and glared at his dark haired teammate, "best two out of three." Kiba Inuzuka, son to the great vet Tsume Inuzuka and the most temper mental shinobi that also had a dog, Akamaru, at his side. He had dark spiky hair and two red triangles on his cheeks. His eyes were black and animal like and his skin was tanned; he wore a green chunin vest over his grey coat, only the coat was a bit thinner then it usually was. Akamaru was white haired and stood to a height where he reached Kiba's knees. Kiba could get angry, pretty quick and was always in a competition, but when it came to a tag team style of fighting, he and Akamaru were the best.
"Just get it over with," the dark haired male said fixing his black sun glasses. Shino Aburame, son to Shibi Aburame a bug expert, and the most reserved shinobi that didn't show any emotion at all; not one. He had pale skin and dark fro like hair; but he wasn't pale like Hinata and due to his glasses the colors of his eyes were unknown. He wore a green chunin vest over is long light grey coat that had a color that covered the bottom of his face; that also hid away the kikaichu that crawled on his face. His body was also known for being a living and walking hive, that hid away a small army of the kikaichu; the bugs were always ready to come to his defense and to aid him in battle.
Right now, the chunin had to go back and do their least liked mission, like how as genin they had to help capture that cat. The three were assigned to aid other older chunin in taking care of the students and right now, it was chosen by the coin that Kiba would be the one to lead them out into the court yard for training. It was simple, really, but no one knew these kids like Team 8 did, and even Hinata had to agree that these students were some kind of evil. It was always between Shino and Kiba because Hinata had to go and set up, and ever since the last time…..they didn't want to relive that again.
"I-I'll see y-you down there," Hinata nodded and then turned on her heels and headed down the hallway. She hated leaving the two behind to do that, but ever since the last time, she still had nightmares about it. Let me elaborate, the first time they had this mission, Hinata was excited to go and help the academy students and she offered to be the one to lead them out into the courtyard. She was left with the class and she was happy to see that they were all very young and cute, or so she thought. Hinata was about ready to lead them out into the courtyard, until they began to ask weird questions.
"Are you blind?" Hinata blushed and quickly explained who she was and that her eye color was normal in her family. "If your not blind, why won't you look at us," Hinata then tried to stutter out an apology but one little boy cut her off.
"Why does your chest stick out like that? Sakura's chest doesn't do that," Hinata paled at the comment and tried to cover her self up. So what if puberty hit Hinata a little harder then it should have. But that didn't give people the right to point it out; not even the younger ones.
"There called 'boobs' stupid," a little girl said with a matter-of-fact type voice. "My mom says all girls get them when they get older," and soon the class broke out into conversations about growing up, and Hinata was the example. "Hinata is big and curvy, that's how my older brother would describe it." Hinata soon couldn't take it anymore and blacked out.
"We killed her!" The class quickly crowded her and poked at her sides and feared about going to prison. Luckily, Iruka came back to grab a few things he left and was able to get Hinata to the infirmary and Kiba and Shino were forced to watch the class until he got back.
That was the last and only time Hinata get to get the class, since no matter what age, people quickly took notice of the young women's body.
Kiba entered the room and sighed as he watched the six year olds shush one another as he stood before them, "Alright kids, I'm here to take you-"
"You look like a dog," one of them yelled and the class broke out into laughter.
Kiba tried to keep back his rage and clenched his fist tightly, "Yes, I resemble that of a canine-"
"Woof,"
That pissed him off. Kiba was getting barked at by this little class of demons he tried to keep his cool. He really didn't hate kids, but he was starting to dislike them, a lot. The more they barked at him, the bigger the vein got in his head. Akamaru whimpered as he sensed his master begin to just radiate a killer intent and soon ran for cover. Kiba growled loudly, "Alright you little brat," he glared at the boy that started the barking, "You better stop-"
"Or what dog-man," the six-year-old challenged with a smirk, "you gonna pee on me?"
"That's it!" Kiba was about to lounge at the little boy, but Shino held him back by the collar of his vest; which only caused the class to laugh harder. Shino always stood close by when Kiba was sent in to get a class and it always ended in either two ways: 1) Kiba would get horrible mad and was about ready to kill someone or 2) Kiba was tied up and on the verge of being thrown out a window.
Shino just rolled his eyes and held out his hand, "Quickly," he spoke in a clam voice, "run to the court yard; first one there gets to learn how to fight off the dog-man." The students smiled at one another and quickly ran out of the room; Akamaru followed them out and herded them in the right direction. He let go of Kiba's collar and sighed as he fell to the floor, "You'll need to learn to control that temper."
"Cram it Shino," Kiba sighed as he got to his feet, "let's just go to the courtyard before those little monsters destroy Hinata."
- (Line Break) –
As always, Shino divided up the class into three groups to be trained by each of the young chunin. Shino taught basic weapon usage with wooden kunais and shurikins; since he had the best aim and accuracy and during his teaching, he would try to test them on shinobi knowledge. Not that he was a strict teacher; he kept everything basic and simple. Shino was the unclaimed leader of Team 8 and Hinata didn't mind at all and Kiba finally began to come to terms with it. Not only that, but Shino could a patient and kind man.
At Hinata's little station, she taught the basic controls of chakra usage, genjutsu, and ninjutsu. Out of the three she had the best chakra control and was very precise with it as well. Hinata also loved children and hoped to be able to be an example to the kids, like how Naruto is her example. Hinata did have a knack for making the kids calm down; she had a way with them to make them feel relaxed and safe.
Kiba was left with taijutsu training, since he the most energy to do it for three different groups that only included one break for lunch. Kiba also enjoyed it more then another kind of training or learning; he hated learning and Kiba bragged that he didn't need weapons to fight in battles. Hinata was also considered for this position, but Shino feared that if Hinata brought in her Hyuga training, Hiashi would be upset that non-Hyuga children were being taught that style of fighting. So Hinata was out and Kiba got the job, though, do to his temper, Kiba was always being closely watched by Shino or Hinata.
This mission was an easy one that was meant for when there were no real missions available, but out of all the teams that Tsunade assigned it to, she noticed that Team
8 was the most requested to do it and the best. It seemed the kids really liked the team, they liked picking on Kiba, the quiet Shino that was a bit playful at times, and Hinata was just so kind and caring. Tsunade decided not to tell the team that they were being requested and chose just to keep that a secret; she did tell them though they proved to be the best at dealing with kids. Tsunade also believed since the team was known for being the best trackers, it would be very hard for them to lose one of the little rascals in the case of emergency. Team 8 didn't complain about being the ones forced to train with the academy students since they did, kind of, sort of, did enjoy it. Kiba did get a kick out of teasing the academy students, and even Shino enjoyed the fact that the kids looked up to him.
Hinata smiled at the kids, "I will d-divide you into th-three groups." This was another thing, Hinata seem to lose her stutter the more time she spent with the kids. Since lets face it, little kids are probably the hardest group of people to talk to, right next to your own peers. She slowly lost the stutter, but it sometimes came back when she was really nervous. "A-and each group wi-will go with either Kiba-k-kun, Sh-Shino-kun, o-or myself," she looked down at her list and began to call off names to the kids in each group, and there were a few groans on who got stuck with who.
Usually all the boys would want to go to Kiba's 'station' first, since it was all fighting and the girls rather be with Hinata, well…..because she was a girl too. The Chunin that did teach the students divided them up before hand, knowing who would be best with the others around them. And of course all the groups were co-ed since the teachers wanted to 'give them experience with the opposite gender', which was really saying, no one gets to be with just the people they wanted to be with. Kiba used this to his advantage to get the kids to give it their all, since pitting one against the other did determine them to out do the other.
They stood with their respected groups and each chunin taught them what they would need to know.
- (Line Break) –
"Th-that w-was enjoyable," Hinata smiled as she and her two teammates walked along the streets of the village, after just finishing their mission with the Academy. "A-and th-they re-really l-like y-you Ki-Kiba-kun," she tried to reassure the brunette that was holding an ice pack to the top of his head. "
"That's why they all beat me up," he said as Akamaru just barked, his own leg slightly injured. "That clears everything up."
"You did tell them to come at you," Shino informed as he fixed his glasses and holding out his own little black book. "Not to mention," he said not even looking away from his book. "They have all improved on their taijutsu since you began to teach them. Be happy that your doing something to help the next generation." He put his book back and looked ahead. "We'll repot to Lady Hokage and then go out to eat."
Hinata smiled softly, "M-My t-turn to b-buy."
Kiba smiled brightly, "Thank goodness, those little brats didn't even let me eat my lunch. I'm beyond starving," he looked over to the right and did a double take and stopped. "Uh, guys," they both looked over at him, "do you see what I see?" Hinata and Shino stood beside him and even Shino gapped at the sight before him. Hinata couldn't believe what she saw and she had seen a lot of thing in her life. Before them, their own parents were walking away from, almost like they had been…friends before. Hiashi had a smug look on his face as he walked beside Tsume. She on the other hand was smirking at the long haired Hyuga and playfully punched his arm, and all he did was ruffle her hair like it was nothing. Shibi just stood on Tsume's other side with no real emotion on his face, but it was hard to tell with his own high collar and sunglasses. "Someone pinch me so I can wake up."
"F-Fa-Father-san?" Hinata looked on in bewilderment and tried to make sense of what was going on. She had never seen her father act so….playful, only when she was small had he acted that way around her or anyone really. Then a small smile began to form on her lips as she watched her father have so much fun with the other two adults; he did deserve to be happy.
"This is quite odd," Shino said calmly but on the inside he was pulling out his hair and yelling at the sky. Shino had never heard or bothered to ask his father about his old genin team, but it did make sense of what happened when he first told his father who his teammates were. Shibi had left right after Shino had told him, but his mother just lightly laughed as she went on with her day and it had bothered Shino all day and night. What he didn't know that Shibi had gone to the Inuzuka compound and collected his winnings form a very pissed Tsume. Hana had stood there in confusion as she watched her mother curse at the stoic man and threw a bag full of coins at him; she decided that forgetting about it was the best thing to do.
Kiba also found out why his mother was so mad that day she told him about his new team, he had hide away as she stormed around the office. Kiba almost forgot that before she had, had him and her sister that she was once a genin on a team with others; he always saw her as his Tokubetsu Jonin mother. Kiba also couldn't believe that she was friends with them…..or was it more? "Oh my Kami…." Kiba gasped as he looked over at the two, "they were all on a team together." Shino and Hinata were just as stunned as he was and the three decided that it was time to follow that once genin team. The three took to the trees, Hinata specifically stayed back and stood in her father's blind spot, Kiba stood farthest from his mother and covered his own scent along with Akamaru's since Kuromaru was following his master. Shino had to be extra careful of his father since his father's own kikaichu would be flying about and would tell Shibi of the presence of his son. They activated the headsets they would usually wear on a mission and kept it on a low frequency.
"They'll notice us sooner or later," Kiba said softly and jumped softly through the trees. "We should keep on someone other then our own parent-"
"They would expect that," Shino said as he walked the forest floor and kept an eye on the Hyuga that could activate his Byakugan at any second if he gets suspicious. "We follow our own and hope that they think we would be easy to find, so they would look for the other."
"F-Father i-is ac-activating h-his Byakugan," Hinata said standing still in his blind spot and pulling her chakra to so low that it would look like a small child was standing on the road. Shino and Kiba both stood still and pulled their own chakra down, but only enough to not be the first noticed. They waited for a moment until they were given the 'clear' by Hinata that they could continue, "H-He wa-was l-looking more t-to you tw-two m-more then m-me."
"Hinata," Kiba said harshly, "Kuromaru is coming your way." Hinata quickly stopped in her tracks and waited for the dog to come around the corner. "My mother gave a slight flick of the wrist; it means he's looking for anything that may be suspicious. Don't henge; he'll notice right off the bat." Hinata thanked him and just waited for the dog. What they didn't know that while once waiting for Kiba, Hana had taught her a trick to clam a dog into a state of peace. Hinata watched as the Kuromaru walked around the corner and with a quick strike Hinata hit the side of his neck and Kuromaru went limp and flopped to the ground with a happy bark. He looked unbelievably calm and Hinata began to pet the dog until she hit a spot to where his own leg began to shake. She giggled lightly and helped the dog up and pointed him back in the direction of the Inuzuka.
"Careful Kiba," Shino said, "My Father has sent out a few kikaichu your way." Kiba jumped down and stood his ground, letting his chakra dwindle away and Akamaru hid away in a thickly flowered bush. Kiba stood still as the small bugs flew around him and landed right on his jacket. As long as he didn't show a strong chakra signature the bugs would go back with nothing. He was of no threat and if he didn't swat at the bugs, they wouldn't attack either. Soon the kikaichu retreated and went back to their master without anything to give. Kiba slowly let out a sigh and motioned for Akamaru to follow again.
"S-something s-seems o-of-off," Hinata said softly. "Th-they s-seem too r-re-relaxed," she watched as they only made small talk instead of the joking around they were doing earlier. Hinata was good at telling when the emotions, attitude, over even body positioning had been changed by a counter-part and it was very hard to play poker with the young Hyuga, not to mention her amazing poker face; which was just her regular smiling face with a small blush. So when Hinata thought something was up with the target, Kiba and Shino listened. Hinata snuck up closer then she should have and closed her eyes, concentrating on what they were saying.
"Take down the puppy"
"Go for the beetle"
"Capture the bunny"
Hinata gasped, "Ge-Get out- hmph."
"Hinata- ahh!"
"What's going on-" Shino was cut off as a sharp pain hit him in the back of his neck and he fell foreword, his body limp. He knew that kind of strike, it could only come from a certain clan. "Hyuga, Hiashi," Shino said softly as the shadow of the man loomed over him, "Any harder of a hit and I would be dead at the moment."
"You aren't the first spy, or last for that matter, that I must catch and bring back for interrogation," Hiashi picked up the Aburame by his high collar and brought him over to where his father stood before him with Kiba and Tsume had hold of Hinata, who was being lied on by her large dog, Kuromaru. "You three think that you could spy on us? Pity at what this generation has come too."
"Oh hush Hiashi," Tsume smiled at the three, "You guys would have done pretty well, if you hadn't of messed up so badly." She shrugged with a smug face, "I mean, I thought I taught you better Kiba?"
"Shut up mom," he groaned with a blush on his cheeks. "OW," he yelled as Tsume dug her knuckles into the sides of his head, "quite it!"
"Then learn to talk respectfully to your own mother Kiba!" She glared at him with a smirk as she pulled away, "now would you like to know what you did wrong?"
"P-Please Tsume-san," Hinata smiled lightly, "A-and if y-you wouldn't m-mind ge-getting Kuromaru o-off please?" The dog whined softly and nuzzled closer to the blue haired Hyuga and lightly licked her face; Hinata giggled and petted the dogs head.
"Get that thing off my daughter Inuzuka," Hiashi said roughly glaring at the dog. "Can't you keep that thing on a leash?"
Tsume glared at Hiashi, "The stick just keeps getting farther up your ass huh?" Hinata gapped at the vulgarity of Tsume, and awed that someone would talk to her own farther like that, not even the Hokage dare talk to Hiashi in that way. "Come on Kuromaru," she patted her leg and the dog reluctantly got up and went to his master's side. Hinata slowly got to her feet and brushed herself off and bowed to Tsume. "Now," she clapped her hands together and looked to Hinata, "I guess since I caught you, I'll tell you what you did wrong."
Hinata nodded softly, "A-Alright Tsume-san."
"You make me feel old Hinata," she smiled.
"You did have two kids," Kiba muttered but quickly shut up when his mother sent him a death glare.
"Anyway," she knelt down and kept eye contact with Hinata. "You were very hard to find Hinata, your steps were soft and not to mention you hide your chakra signature well." Hinata smiled and blushed at the compliments, "you even found a way to keep my mutt quiet." Tsume then stood up and smirked, "But you forgot the most important thing about an Inuzuka," she tapped her nose twice, "we have a great sense of smell, and you happened to touch my dog and left a good sample on it. So I was able to find you easily after that." She ruffled Hinata's hair, which was weird to Hinata, since no one ever really did that to her, "but other then that you might have gotten one of these others goofballs," she pointed back at the other four boys. "See Hinata," Tsume smirked, "they always underestimate the female member, but that is the one that ends up being the assassin."
"Are you finished," Shibi asked quietly, still holding Kiba's collar, "it's time for your son to be told what they did wrong."
"Go ahead, since you're so antsy," she mocked him not really caring for his feelings.
Shibi fixed his glasses and hid his anger well. "Kiba," said brunette looked up at the dark haired jonin, "you hid well, and even your mutt was untraceable, but you seem to jump the gun when it comes to coming out of hiding. If you look closely," Shibi pointed down at Kiba's jacket, "you'll see that the few bugs I kept back found you and stuck to you." Kiba looked down and saw that three kikaichu had stuck to his jacket, "you need to check to see if your enemy is really gone." Shibi soon took hold of the three kikaichu and set them free. Kiba was freaked out, since he really hated when Shino sent out his own bugs on him, and he thinks he's become phobic to them touching him; once Shibi let him go, Kiba quickly got away form him and stood by Hinata. "What a scardy-cat," Shibi smirked behind his high collar, "what kind of shinobi fears bugs?"
"I don't like those things touching me is all!" Kiba yelled back in his own defense, "It feels weird," Hinata couldn't help but giggle at her dog like teammate, since he was acting like a small child. "It's not funny Hinata, and you know it!"
"S-sorry Ki-Kiba-kun," she stopped laughing and smiled at him, "I-I didn't m-mean t-to la-laugh."
"Anyway," Hiashi said with his eyes closed, "I believe," he opened his eyes and looked down at the Aburame in his hands, "I must tell you what you did wrong." He let go of Shino and folded his hands in front of him, so they were hidden in his sleeves. "You didn't hide the chakra signature of the kikaichu in your body, they were spotted easily." Hiashi kept strait to the point and hopped that was enough, but the way that Shibi and Tsume looked at him, they seemed to want more. "My Byakugan can see everything and anything that gives off a chakra signature and you are very good at hiding your own, but you have to give out a signal for your kikaichu to hide their own as well."
"See," Tsume smiled, "simple steps to getting better at your stealth skills."
"Those same mistakes are the same ways I use to find your mother/father." The three adults blinked –well you couldn't tell with Shibi- and then looked at each other.
Tsume just smiled, "Are you kidding me Shibi," she crossed her arms over her chest, "You could barley control those little pest let alone plant them on me."
"Pardon me Inuzuka," Hiashi said with a smirk, "your not one to talk at all. That mutt had a mind of its own and you had to find it first before you could even begin to track myself."
"Lord Hyuga," Shibi said, "but that Byakugan of yours was not at its strongest when we were genin; and I happen to recall you had a hard time turning it off." They all just glared at each other as the young genin team kind of gapped at them.
"How come I didn't know that you were on a team with them since right now?" Kiba yelled at his mother and waved his hands in the air.
"I-I though y-you said you tr-trained to b-be the he-head an-and didn't go t-to the ac-academy fa-father," Hinata asked as she looked up at her father with big watering eyes, that not even the cold hearted Hyuga leader could resist. Shibi and Shino just starred at each other and it seemed like they were having their own little conversation; the others just waited for their reaction.
Shibi suddenly just hung his head, "I'm very sorry Shino, but you never asked." The others just sweat dropped.
"I lied Hinata," Hiashi said truthfully, "and it seemed to be no benefit to you to tell you about my once genin team-"
"Oh shut up Hiashi," Tsume punched his shoulder with a smile, "you loved us. We were the best and you know it." She smiled softly," you were even upset when your father told you to step down from, your anbu status so you could take the title."
"Only slightly Inuzuka," he defended," only slightly."
"You haven't even changed," Shibi said suddenly, "you never called us by our first name, even when we all agreed to be friends."
*enter dramatic gasp*
"What?"
"We were kids once," Tsume defended herself and the two other adults, "and we were great friends, like you three." She sighed, "But as you know, we got older and right before we became jonin we all made a pact. We would stay good friends, no matter what. After we found out you three were put on a team, we got back together on our free time and just began to hang out while you guys went out on missions."
"H-How nice," Hinata smiled brightly at the three adults; they all starred at her in a slight shock. "I-It's so nice t-to kn-know th-that ev-even after all th-these years, a-a friendship c-can live on." Her smile soften and a light blush adorned her cheeks, "I-I hope th-that my teams fr-friendship c-can li-live on like that." Hinata looked up at Hiashi, "W-would y-you like us t-to le-leave you and y-your fr-friends father?"
Hiashi felt his lips slightly curve upward and put his large hand on her small shoulder, "Why don't you join us, you may learn a few things while listening to Inuzuka go on about our younger days."
"I could tell you about the time Hiashi was trying to impress-" Tsume was caught off when Hiashi slapped a hand over her mouth and glared at her. She prayed his hand away and glared at her, "What the hell!"
Hiashi whipped his hand on his leg, "We agreed to never speak like that again you little bi-"
"Ahhh," Hinata covered her ears before she could hear her father curse. Hinata was always against foul language and tried to drown it out whenever she could. Hiashi stopped himself and cleared his throat, bringing back his blank mask.
"We agreed to never speak of that Inuzuka," he re-said with a harsh glare and turned away, "so anyway-"
"When he tried to impress Kushina Uzamaki"
"Aburame!"
Hinata, Kiba and Shino just stood there and were in a silent shock and you could hear Shino's glasses crack a bit. Until Kiba burst out laughing and saying something that sounded like, 'they both fell for an Uzamaki,' and then Hinata went red and began to hit him and said something that sounded like, 'I'm over it, I'm over it,' over and over as Kiba continued to laugh. Hiashi was seething and his Byakugan was active and he glared at his two teammates with a slight blush on his cheeks.
Tsume smiled, "Oh and about that one time we caught Shibi and his now wife practically doing it in an alley way." All you could hear was Shino's glasses break and then he fell back in shock. No child wants to hear about their parents at a young age and being 'active'….ever! Hinata and Kiba went to his side and tried to wake him, but Kiba couldn't help but laugh and get a photo of this moment.
Shibi was silent, but a blush could be seen slight past his collar, "OR that one time Tsume got so mad she broke the wall down at a hot spring and practically flashed the Hokage." Tsume then exploded and pounced on the Aburame, and Kiba just laughed harder at his own mother. The walked was postponed since some of them were sent to the hospital for their injuries and after a few more stories were revealed in anger, some had to see a therapist.
Hyuga, Aburame, and Inuzuka have always been known as the best tracking team and whenever possible, they were placed on a team. This team seemed to be the oddest of any of them, since they were all so different and had very odd quirks. The Hyuga's were cold, distant, and kept to themselves, but held a deep devotion to the mission and team. The Inuzuka were ill-tempered and had a short fuse, they were also the most impatient of the team, but they held a great loyalty to the team and never left a man behind, or dog. When it came to the Aburame, there was little that could be seen; the family was always silent and tended to not question anything unless needed, but the Aburame were about the most powerful because they contained a small army in them and were the best at a silent ambush. This collection of shinobi had been one of the last to be written down and always suggested when it came to placing the new genin into teams. This team would then also be suggested to be the first to try out to become Anbu Black Ops, since this was the most qualified; they had stealth, the ability to ambush easy, tracking the best, and a higher defense then any other team. It does vary each generation, but, none the less, this team was about the closet then any other team.
Even if they did have their bad days.
"I'll kill you Shibi, once I break through these bed straps"
"…"
"I know you're there bug-boy"
"Dear Kami Inuzuka, stop yelling"
"Come and make me Hiashi, you stupid stuck up bastard"
"Don't even start-"
"What are you going to do, glare at me?"
"Shut up, both of you."
Hinata sighed as she closed the door, "They're s-still arguing."
"Good," Kiba smirked and began to walk away with Akamaru at his side and his hands behind his head, "keep them out of our hair for a while," he smiled back at them, "lets go get something to eat."
"I'm in," Shino said, "anything to get away from those three."
"I-It's not s-so bad," Hinata smiled, "w-we won't b-be like th-that." She took both there hands and pulled them to the little tea shop they always went to, "b-but w-we will be good f-friends."
"No matter what Hinata-chan," Kiba smiled. Shino just nodded softly, but you could see his slight smile form under his collar.
"Are you really over Naruto?"
"Sh-shut up Kiba-kun!"

Well, what do you think? Sorry it took so long, but school has been weighing me down like a load of rock. Leave me a nice review ^_^ Ja ne
