I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own
If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
Chasing Cars � Snow Patrol
Chapter Three � Shaking the Family Tree
Sakura took a final sip from
her now empty wine glass and looked over her friend in quiet contemplation.
�When do you plan on informing the prospective grandparents of the news?� asked
the pink-haired woman in a quiet voice.
�Well, I can�t put it off
for too long but I�m thinking in the next couple of days or so. Shino and I
need to sit down and have a talk first.� sighed Ino.
The pinkette nodded in
agreement. This pregnancy certainly changed things between the young couple.
She knew Shino would be more than willing to put a ring on her friend�s finger
in a heartbeat but it was obvious that Ino was still nursing some deep
emotional scars from her disastrous relationship with Shikamaru. Sakura sighed
silently to herself. While Shino respected the fact that his lover still needed
time to heal, the medic nin knew that the respective clans were going to be
none too thrilled with Ino�s decision to not get married in her current
condition.
Yes � the shit was
going to hit the wall in a big way!
Sakura scooted over to sit
closer to her blonde friend and gently clasped her hand.
�Ino-pig, if you and
bug-boy ever need help or support� I will be there for you two,� whispered the
pinkette.
Ino felt tears sting the
back of her eyes at her friend�s offer and nodded softly in reply � overwhelmed
with the offer. The young woman secretly knew that she was going to meet with
some staunch opposition from her family at the very least over her decision to
not marry in the immediate future.
Ino glanced over at the
daisies with hooded eyes.
She loved Shino deeply and
unconditionally but she wasn�t ready to make that commitment yet. Shino bless
his handsome and reserved hide, understood her fears and wasn�t pushing.
�Forehead Girl� thank
you,� croaked the blonde, her voice cracking with emotion.
Both women looked up when
they heard the gentle click of the door unlocking and saw Shino step hesitantly
through the door.
�Ino, you okay?� asked the
bug wielder concerned at the odd brightness he saw in her eyes.
Ino cleared her throat and
replied, �Sweetheart, I�m fine. Why don�t you close the door and take the food
into the kitchen. We can eat in there.�
Sakura watched the tall
man walk into the kitchen and suddenly remembered something she wanted to ask
her friend. �Ino-pig, I�m curious� what did Shino say to you before he left to
get food?� whispered Sakura into her friend�s ear.
She was surprised to see
Ino give her a cheeky grin. �Oh that! He told me while he was relieved to hear
that I loved him, he was still going to have a little chat with me later about
my stubbornness.�
Sakura grinned at that
comment. Ino met her match with her Kikai lover.
-------------------------------
The trio sat down to a
wonderful meal filled with good food and lots of laughter. Sakura had been
pretty surprised at the side of Shino that was revealed at dinner.
He was witty, charming and
rather intelligent. It was also obvious he was head over heels in love with her
best friend in the way he kept touching her hand tenderly whenever he thought
Sakura wasn�t looking. She felt like a third wheel watching these two expressed
their devotion to each other in little glances and small smiles. They looked so
happy and the pink haired woman was pleased to see a man make her friend smile
like that when that smile had been absent for such a long time�
The medic nin was
reluctant to say goodnight to the two young lovers but knew that she needed to
get up bright and early for her shift at the hospital.
Shino stood nearby as Ino
walked the pink-haired woman to the door.
�Ino-pig, give me a call
when you two are ready to come in for a follow up appointment, okay?� murmured
the medic nin, touching her friend�s arm lightly.
Ino nodded in response.
She felt Shino�s arms wrap around her in mute understanding of her emotional
state. Sakura smiled softly at the two of them standing together and murmured
before finally leaving, �Bug-boy, make sure Ino-pig takes her pre-natal
vitamins, okay?�
He couldn�t help but smile
at that and nodded in reply.
Shino felt his lover pull
away and walk over to lock the door.
The bug wielder shoved his
hands in his pockets and waited for her to return. He jumped a little when he
felt her arms slide under his jacket. He felt her lay her cheek against his
broad back. �Shino� I�m sorry that I didn�t tell you my concerns. I was scared
that you would reject me when you found out� and I�m sorry for thinking that,�
murmured the blonde brokenly.
Ino could feel the Kikai
buzzing and his heartbeat thumping erratically before he turned around to face
his lover.
�Sweetheart, never hide
something like this from me again� I was worried that you didn�t want me
anymore and you were planning to leave me.� replied the bug wielder, his voice
cracking slightly from suppressed emotion.
Ino pulled away from him
and covered her face with her hands, horrified by the conclusion her lover had
come to over her strange behavior in the past two weeks.
Oh god! He had been
worried that she didn�t want him� she never considered how her actions would be
interpreted�
Ino took a calming breath
and removed her hands from her face. One hand reached up and carefully removed
his glasses. She saw his eyes shining with deeply rooted emotions simmering
just below the surface and knew he was upset.
�Oh kami, Shino� I never
realized you were thinking that! I-I do love you dearly. I don�t know
what I would do if I lost you�� whispered the young woman now openly crying.
�Shhh� sweetheart. its
okay.� crooned the bug wielder in a soothing voice, his kikai beetles buzzing
loudly and betraying his unease over the sight of her tears.
Shino scooped his lover up
into his arms and took her back to the bedroom. He switched on the soft
lighting and tenderly laid her on the bed. He knelt down, removing his jacket
and stretched out on the bed beside his woman.
He touched her face
lightly, cradling her against his lean form and softly asked the one question
that had been nagging him since he found out his impending fatherhood. �Ino �
sweetheart, I need to know� how do you feel about this pregnancy?�
Ino�s eyes opened wide in
surprise, the blue irises shining brightly in the soft glow.
�Oh, Shino� I�m thrilled.
I know it wasn�t something we planned�but�I want our children� I just didn�t
know that you wanted them too.� whispered the blonde in a sad voice.
He sighed, a little
relieved hearing her obvious delight over her pregnancy.
That was good news, at
least� knowing that she was happy being pregnant and she loved him� it was
certainly going to make the rest of what they needed to discuss easier to deal
with�
�Sweetheart, I know we
have a few things we need to sort out before we tell our families but I wanted
to give you something first�� murmured the bug wielder. He�d been carrying it
around for a while now, trying to pick the right time to give it to her and now
seemed like a better moment than any...
Ino frowned in confusion
as she saw him shove a hand in his pocket and fish out a box.
He gently placed the box
into one of her hands and softly said, �Ino, I know you�re not ready for that
level of commitment but I still wanted to give you a token to reflect the love
I have for you in my heart.�
She opened the box up with
trembling fingers and was stunned by what she found.
The scarlet enameled
lady-bug hung suspended on a fine white gold chain. The little black dots were
chips of onyx and the eyes were little diamonds.
It was most beautiful
thing she�d ever seen or received. She knew she was going to cry!
�Shino, it�s so
beautiful!� whispered the blonde in an awed voice.
One finger lovingly
touched the beetle as a lone tear finally streaked down her cheek.
Shino leaned forward and
traced the path of the tear with his tongue. The blonde gasped at the contact
and reached out with the other hand to pull him closer.
�Do you want me to put it
on for you?� whispered the bug wielder urgently.
�Only if you promise to
make love to me afterwards�� replied the blonde.
The Kikai master groaned
and gently retrieved the box from his lover�s hand. He removed the necklace
with a small tremor in his hands and carefully hooked it into place.
The delicate chain
caressed her neck as the little bug settled in the hollow between her breasts.
It was a deceptively
simple pendant, and yet it eloquently made a statement that she was cherished.
�Sweet Ino, we will
continue our conversation afterwards�� groaned the bug wielder as she captured
his lips.
-------------------------
Ino laid in the shelter of
his arms, feeling his breath tickling her neck as he gently nibbled on her
collarbone. It always amazed her how someone so outwardly calm like Shino could
unleash his passion with the same force of a summer tempest.
She heard him sigh sadly
and knew that he was making good on his promise to continue their conversation.
�Ino � you know our clans
aren�t going to be thrilled with the idea that you�re not ready to marry me
right away� there�s going to be talk. Are you prepared for that?� murmured
Shino against her shoulder. He continued to tenderly caress her belly with soft
strokes.
The blonde sighed sadly,
�Yes, Shino� I know. My father is especially not going to like it but there�s
not much he can do about it��
�Actually, sweetheart� I
have given that a great deal of thought as well as taking into consideration
the fact that we need to figure out what to do about the living situation.�
murmured the bug wielder.
Ino looked over her
shoulder at her lover, �Really? Do tell, Shino� What have you come up with?�
She saw her boyfriend give
her a rare half smile and knew that he�d come up with a feasible plan that
would work for the interim.
�Sweetheart, my family has
a special requirement for anyone wishing to enter into a union with a clan
member.�
Ino�s eyes widened in
shock and gratitude as she realized what he was saying. She licked her lips to
ease the dryness and asked breathlessly, �What�s the requirement?�
�We have to live together
under the one roof for six months�� replied the bug wielder hesitantly then
continued, �Ino, I don�t know how much time you need but I do know that will
take the pressure off us for a while.�
Ino stared at her bug
wielding lover in shock, suddenly overwhelmed by the feelings she had for this
man beside her.
While there was a sense
of urgency about their situation, he still understood her private fears and was
trying not to pressure her into a decision she wasn�t ready to make.
She closed her eyes in
relief and felt the tears coursing down her cheeks. Ino could feel her lover
tense up from her reaction. She opened her eyes in understanding and quickly
turned in his arms to touch his face in a tender caress, feeling him vibrate
slightly from the contact and the agitated Kikai within him.
�You�re wrong, Shino� I
really do want to marry you but I wasn�t expecting you to give me this much
time.� Murmured Ino brokenly, feeling the vibrations get stronger under the
man�s skin.
�Y-you do? Really? Are you
serious, sweetheart?� asked Shino in a shocked voice.
She could feel him
trembling now from the effort to keep his beetles in check and knew that was
the last thing he was expecting to hear from her. Ino reached up and licked his
bottom lip and watched him groan from the contact.
�Yes, my sweet Kikai
lover� I�m serious.� Whispered the blonde� �You�ll be the first person to know
when I�m ready, I promise��
He pulled her close to him
and that�s when she felt them on her shoulder� tears.
-------------------------
Shino had gone home a
short while after their chat to let Ino have some much needed sleep. It was
clear that she was exhausted from the emotional stress of keeping this secret
for so long and he knew that sleep would be the last thing she would get if he
spent the night with her�
He managed to corner his
father in the kitchen this morning with the news that he needed to have a chat
with him later and he was bringing someone home to meet him.
Shino had been secretly
relieved when his father mentioned casually whether this someone was aware of
the six month requirement. He was pretty sure that was the case when he told
Ino last night but it was nice to get reassurance that his information was
correct.
He nodded his agreement
and was about to leave the house when he heard, �As long you two are married
before my first grandchild arrives, I am content.�
Shino was flushing behind
his collar and kept walking, his father�s soft knowing chuckle still ringing in
his ears.
-----------------------------------------
Ino looked over at her
lover and felt him give her hand a reassuring squeeze. He had showed up at her
apartment early with fresh bread and a soothing touch when her morning sickness
made its presence known. It seemed to worse than usual this morning.
Ino was nervous, despite having
Shino�s company for this particular chat with her family.
A small hand fluttered
over the front of her dark purple dress, plucking at tiny specks of lint.
Oh, she wasn�t worried
about her mother � she would be thrilled about having grandkids to show off. No
� she was more worried about what her father would say, especially when he
found out about her and Shino.
The fact that she had kept
her relationship with Shino firmly under wraps was going to cause some
friction.
She also didn�t know how
her father was going to react when he found out that her lover's family was a
bug wielding clan.
The young couple strolled
down the street at a leisurely pace holding hands and was obliviously to the
stares and sly whispers they were receiving from curious onlookers.
The blonde stopped
suddenly, feeling a little light-headed and gripped her boyfriend�s hand
tighter. The worry she�d been feeling all morning about having to tell her
father was starting to affect her. Shino looked over at his lover, secretly
alarmed at how pale she was�
He wrapped his arms around
the young woman and picked her up. �Sweetheart, do you want me to take you
home? We can do this later when you're feeling better...� murmured Shino in a
worried tone.
Ino shook her head
slightly, her lady bug swinging a little at the movement and whispered in his
ear, �Honey, I'll be fine... I think I just need to sit down for a little bit.�
Shino looked around the
street and caught sight of a little tea house in a nearby side street.
�Ino, can you walk?� asked
the now-stressed bug wielder.
He was relieved to see her
nod.
They sat down at a small
table towards the back of the shop and Shino ordered them a pot of ginger tea
to help settle her nausea.
He held her hand and
stroked the top with his thumb while they wanted for the hostess to bring the
tea.
The Kikaichuu master
waited for the woman to leave before he poured two cups of the fragrant tea,
carefully adding a little honey before handing the cup to Ino.
�Sip it slowly,
sweetheart� it will help.� murmured the bug wielder soothingly.
He dug into his pocket and
pulled out a packet of crackers. �Shino� how?� asked the blonde in wonderment.
Shino blushed at his
lover�s question. He knew what she was asking� �I heard it helps too�� murmured
the young man awkwardly.
They stayed at the tea
shop until Ino felt well enough to continue to her parent�s home.
Shino continued down the
road, still holding his girlfriend�s hand and gently caressing it with his
thumb.
He was relieved to see
some color back in her cheeks when they finally reached the front gate of the
Yamanaka Household. Shino opened the gate for his blonde vixen and let her
enter first, still clasping her hand.
They were about to walk up
the front steps when the couple heard an enraged voice shout, �Who the hell are
you?! And what the hell are you doing with my daughter!?�
Shino�s reaction was
instantaneous. A wall of destruction beetles immediately formed between the
couple and the swiftly approaching and highly irate Inoichi Yamanaka.
A glacial voice came out from
behind the wall of bugs, �If you would prefer to wait until we�re inside, I
will be more than happy to tell you, Mr. Yamanaka. So, are you going to invite
us in or are you going glare at me all day?�
------------------------------
Inoichi Yamanaka sat on
the other side of the coffee table with his wife. They were curious as to why
their daughter had insisted on seeing them this morning and why she was
accompanied by a man who wielded beetles with deadly accuracy.
Ino sat serenely next to
the young man in the dark glasses and all encompassing hood, still holding onto
his hand. Inoichi was mildly surprised to see her looking as calm as she waited
for the tea to be served. His wife, Emiko, on the other hand, looked positively
delighted to see that her daughter had found someone else finally, no matter
how strangely garbed.
Shino pulled off his hood
and carefully folded down the collar before gently handing Ino her cup of green
tea. Emiko and Inoichi were a little surprised and shocked by the young man�s
handsome features. Emiko looked at the man sitting next to her daughter over
her cup of green tea, quietly contemplating the subtle interaction between the
two. She had secretly watched the little incident in the front yard involving
the bug wielder and her husband with great interest. She was impressed that the
elegant man had dealt with the possible threat to Ino quickly and calmly. It
was the young man�s cold tone however, that had given her a clue as to what
role he played in her daughter�s life.
�Ino, sweetheart� that�s a
pretty necklace you�re wearing� where did you get it?� asked Emiko casually.
When her daughter had walked into the room, Emiko has noticed it straight away.
It was quite a stunning piece of jewelry, elegant, understated and perfectly suited
for her daughter. In fact, she had a sneaking suspicion that it had been made expressly
for Ino.
The young man took a sip
of his green tea and continued to gently caress her daughter�s hand. He gave
Ino a small smile before she turned and addressed her mother�s questions.
�Thank you, mother� I�m
glad you like it. Shino gave it to me.� replied the blonde with a soft smile.
So, his name was Shino�
it suited him. He did remind her of an elegant reed of Bamboo.
�Emiko, Ino � enough of
the women�s chat�� growled an impatient Inoichi, �Ino - what was so important
that you needed to tell us both?!�
Emiko watched Shino frown
slightly at the man�s tone. She could tell that the young man didn�t like her
husband�s attitude at all. She was intrigued now. She had a premonition that
her husband was about to receive a set down and he didn�t even know it yet.
Shino stroked his lover�s
hand slowly, detecting the fine tremors after feeling the lash of her father�s
sharp tone. He was more than well aware that he was not Shikamaru.
What this pompous pig
didn�t know that he was better than Shikamaru� for Ino at least.
Aburame men did not
treat their women the way this one did! They were adored, gently teased,
worshipped and above all � loved!
�Ino� I find your father�s
attitude to you and your mother offensive. A real man does not treat his women
like this!� growled the bug wielder in response to Inoichi�s question.
Emiko couldn�t see the
young man�s eyes but she got the impression that he was a little upset. She
could now pick up a tiny hissing sound which seemed to coming from within
the young man�
Inoichi stood up, now
furious with the young man�s impertinence.
�How dare you!?� roared an
irate Inoichi, �Who the hell do you think you are?!�
Shino pinned the man with
a cold stare through his glasses and in a deathly quiet voice replied, �I dare
because Ino is my woman. No man treats her like dirt, not even her
father!�
He stood up and gave him a
steely glare through his glasses, at the bristling Inoichi before hissing, �As
to who the hell I am? I am Shibi Aburame�s son, heir of the Aburame clan.�
The Kikai beetles hummed
louder and rippled under the skin dangerously from within Shino as a warning to
the older man.
He coolly adjusted his
glasses with one hand and gently pulled Ino up from the chair.
�Ino, sweetheart� I�m
sorry� maybe you were right after all. We should have told my family our news
first�� murmured the kikaichu master contritely to his disappointed girlfriend.
They started to walk to the door.
Ino was distraught by this
turn of events but wasn�t surprised by her father�s attitude.
She felt a tiny beetle
land on her right shoulder blade and looked up to see a small smile flash
briefly across her kikai lover�s face. She wasn�t surprised to hear Rex�s irate
buzzing. He and Spike were pretty territorial where she was concerned�
They were about to leave,
when they heard an equally irate female voice behind them screaming, �You Baka!
Inoichi � keep your trap shut!�
Shino grinned knowingly at
his woman.
So, this was where she
got her fire from�
A soft pleading voice
called out, �Ino, sweetie� Why don�t you and your nice young man sit back down
and tell us what it was that you needed to talk about in person��
Shino quietly closed the
door and gazed down at the delicate blonde at his side.
Ino looked over at her
boyfriend in surprise and saw the raised eyebrow above his glasses.
He was a crafty devil!
He knew the right things to say to get her parents to listen to her�
A little kikai beetle
flitted out and sat in the hollow of her left shoulder blade. Shino shrugged
when he saw the second beetle come out� It seemed both of them were ready to
protect their mistress if the moment arose.
Ino smiled at her lover,
giving him a slight nod before they turned to walk back into the sitting room.
------------------------
It was beginning to feel
like Deja vu. Ino and her Kikai lover were sitting back down, drinking tea but
this time, Inoichi was keeping a civil tongue in his head.
�So, sweetie� what is it
you need to tell us?� wheedled Emiko eagerly.
Shino�s comment about they
should have told his family their news first, was telling. If it was what her
women�s intuition was telling her � there was no way her Baka husband
was going to rob her of this moment.
Shino gently squeezed his
woman�s hand to let her know that it was okay to tell them now and continued to
stroke his thumb over the hand he held.
Ino blurted out, �Mother,
I�m pregnant. Shino and I are expecting your grandchildren in six months time��
Emiko and Inoichi looked
at the young couple in stunned silence� then Emiko hesitantly said, �Ino� did
you say grandchildren as in plural?�
Emiko watched the young
man pick up her daughter�s hand and gently kiss it. She certainly couldn�t
fault her daughter�s taste. He definitely seemed a better catch for her than
Shikamaru Nara.
�Yes, mother� I�m carrying
twins.� replied the young woman serenely.
Ino was surprised to hear
her father�s gruff voice and see the suspicious sheen of tears in his eyes�So,
when�s the wedding.�
Well, at least he seemed
thrilled at the prospect of becoming a grandfather� that was a good sign. Ino thought privately to herself.
Shino answered the
question, �My clan has a requirement that Ino needs to live with us for six
months prior to taking vows��
He saw her parents beginning
to protest over that. He knew exactly what they were thinking� they didn�t want
their grandchildren to be born illegitimate!
�There is one small
exception though� because of her condition and the fact that she is willing to
enter into a union with my clan - if Ino wishes to shorten that time period of
her own free will, my father has agreed to let us marry earlier.�
Ino�s parents nodded
thoughtfully and understood what the young man was saying. It was obvious that
the Aburame Clan was unusual and for a woman to want to willingly live
with a clan filled with beetles seemed rare. For that reason alone, the clan
leader was willing to make certain concessions to Ino but any pressure from
them and the deal was off. They would have to wait to get married after the
birth of the twins�
They knew when they had
been outwitted by a worthy adversary and reluctantly nodded their agreement.
�Mr. Yamanaka, my father
will be in touch later with the documents.� murmured the bug wielder, giving
the older man a slight bow of respect.
Ino felt tears sting at
her eyes, relieved that Shino got her parents to agree to the terms of the
Aburame Clan.
She suddenly felt
exhausted from the stress of the visit and felt herself feeling lightheaded
again. Ino felt the shadows engulf her as the floor rushed up to meet her.
�Ino!�
She had fainted before
Shino caught her.
---------------------
Ino blinked her eyes,
trying to figure out what happened� She recognized the room but she was
confused as to why she was in her old room, her head on Shino�s firm lap.
�S-Shinnnoooo�.� moaned
the pale blonde. The bug wielder continued to press the cooling cloth to her
forehead, occasionally scolding two little buzzing blobs�
She squinted and saw her
two insect bodyguards flitting around, vastly irritated.
�Rex? Spike? Behave! I�m
fine� honest.� admonished Ino gently.
Her mother�s nervous face
popped in the doorway and was relieved to see her daughter awake.
�Shino, here�s that pot of
ginger tea you asked for��murmured Emiko.
She watched the young man
fish around his pockets and pull out a packet of dry crackers.
�Sweetheart? I need you to
sit up slowly, so I can give you some tea and crackers to soothe your nausea.�
crooned the bug wielder softly.
She watched in amazement
as Shino patiently fed her daughter ginger tea and dry crackers, a little bit
at a time until it was all gone.
�This has happened before,
I take it?� asked the woman, looking a little chagrinned.
�Yes � just before we got
here� She was nervous about telling her father and got herself all worked up��
sighed Shino.
Emiko felt awful� they
were to blame for this latest episode.
�Do you really need to
leave soon?� asked Ino�s mother a little worried.
She heard the Kikaichuu
master sigh again before replying, �Yes � I�m afraid so� We need to inform both
families before the village find out� the sooner there is a formal agreement in
place, the safer Ino will be from unsavory village gossip.�
Emiko was impressed. He
had given this a great deal of thought.
�When did you find out,
Shino?� asked Emiko gently. The bug wielder continued to keep watch over his
lover, slowly seeing the color back into her face.
�Yesterday� in the late
afternoon.� murmured Shino.
�Shino? I�m ready to go
now�� came a soft voice from the bed. He noticed the little watch dogs were
sitting in their usual perches, looking calmer. That was a good sign at least�
He gently pulled her up,
and quietly thanked Ino�s mother for the tea, bowing slightly before gently
escorting his beautiful vixen down the stairs and out the door�
Emiko couldn�t help
thinking as she followed their retreating figures that Ino had gotten herself
one hell of a man�
------------------------
The stress of telling her
family behind her, Ino was feeling a little more relaxed about breaking the
news to Shino�s family.
She had the impression
that his father at least, was going to be thrilled.
The Aburame Family
Compound was on the outskirts of the village, so it was late afternoon by the
time they reached Shino�s home.
Shino opened the gate and
let his blonde beauty go first.
They got to the front
steps when two things happened simultaneously. A cloud of his father�s
destruction beetles came out to greet the newcomers, only for Shino�s own
destruction beetles to get aggressive and push the new bugs away from Ino. They
were on the defensive after the situation at the Yamanaka Household. The young
woman�s two faithful bodyguards then zipped off their perch on the blonde�s
collarbones and raced inside the huge house.
They soon heard Shibi�s
bloodcurdling screams, �Shiinnnooo, tell your woman to call these little
bastards off me!!�
Ino looked at her lover
horrified as Shino chuckled, �Sweetheart, you better call them back!�
�Rex, Spike� come home!�
crooned the blonde. Two little black blobs flitted back and lovingly went back
to their mistress, buzzing happily. She absentmindedly put her finger up and
gently stroked the beetles.
They soon heard Shibi�s
voice get closer, �Shino, those two are the most vicious little pricks I have
ever had the misfortune of meeting� Is there a reason why they are that nasty?
There was only one time I saw this and it was with your mother� she had this
one cantankerous bug that had the worst attitude��
Shibi�s voice died off
when he beheld the vision standing next to his son.
She wore a conservative
looking short sleeved purple dress that came to her knees. Her blonde hair fell
to her waist in soft waves and eyes as blue as the open sky danced back at him
in greeting.
Oh my god! This was his
son�s woman? No way in hell! He had heard that Yamanaka�s daughter was a beauty
but he thought it had been pure exaggeration.
Then he saw the two little
hellions, purring with delight whenever she gently stroked their wings.
His eyes widened in shock
behind his glasses when he realized where the vicious little bastards like to
perch.
Fucking little
perverts!
The two kikai suddenly
noticed the Aburame Clan Leader watching them and starting hissing in warning.
Shibi frowned at his
grinning son and growled, �Can�t you control the fucking little monsters?�
He was disgusted to see
his son shake his head and reply, �Not really� they only come to me
occasionally for food� but they will only listen to Ino most of the time...�
Shibi�s brain almost had a
meltdown when he heard a soft sultry voice murmur, �Boys� you need to behave
now. Stop being so bad!�
The two little kikai
beetles calmed down at the sound of her voice and Shibi shook his head in
amazement.
Shibi frowned slightly as
another thought crossed his mind, �Shino, what�s wrong with your beetles
tonight? They�ve been acting aggressively and actually attacked mine when I
sent them out to say hello��
The Aburame Clan Leader
came closer to the young couple still standing on the top step, abruptly
stopping when he noticed two things now that he could see them clearly in the
early evening light.
The little enamel ladybug
twinkled brightly at the young woman�s neck proudly proclaiming his son�s claim
to her affections and his beetles could now detect two strong little
heartbeats, coming from her.
�Ahhhh�. I see. Shino, it
seems you need to teach those beetles of yours manners as well.� Murmured
Shibi. �They should know by now that I wouldn�t hurt your woman, especially
when she�s carrying my grandchildren!�
The Aburame Clan Leader
turned around and walked back inside, amongst a cloud of destruction beetles.
A voice drifted out from
the darkness, �Well, bring her in son! The poor girl is probably starving!�
------------------------
Ino hesitantly walked into
the large house and was decidedly overwhelmed by the sheer size of the place.
�Shhh, sweetheart, it will
be okay� you need to relax. Those two Kikai of yours are in tune to your
emotions. They�ll probably attack my father again if you don�t calm down��
murmured Shino.
�Oh. I�m sorry, Shino� I
keep forgetting Rex and Spike are sensitive that way�� replied the blonde.
They heard a soft chuckle
coming from the kitchen, �Good god� She�s named the little terrors as well,
huh?�
Shino pulled out a chair
for Ino and helped her get comfortable at the table. The younger Aburame went
to the sink to fill the kettle while his father dug through the kitchen
cabinets for some herbal tea for the young woman.
�Uh, Mr. Aburame�. Where�s
your bathroom?� asked a suddenly weak voice. Shino and Shibi both looked over
in alarm at the suddenly limp blonde at the table and rushed over to her side.
Shino muttered to the
little watch dogs, �Spike, Rex� bathroom, now� we�ll be there in a minute.�
The two beetles buzzed
angrily as they went ahead. Shibi looked down at the poor girl draped between him
and his son.
A look of compassion
passed between father and son. Shibi raised an eyebrow and Shino nodded in
reply.
They gently carried the
frail looking blonde to the bathroom. Shino carefully draped his beloved into
position at the toilet while Shibi waited outside.
�Protect, boys� Rex, come
and get me when she�s done, okay?� murmured the younger man.
He walked out of the
bathroom and left it open a crack for the two destruction beetles.
�I take it things went bad
over at the Yamanaka household huh, son?� muttered the Aburame Clan Leader.
�Yeah, dad� it wasn�t the
best situation to deal with.� Murmured Shino in a tired voice.
The two men grimaced when
they heard the unmistakable heart wrenching sounds of someone being violently
ill.
Shibi was disgusted� if a
simple visit to her parent�s home had caused this much stress to the young
woman, it wasn�t a good omen.
�How many times did she
did get sick, Shino?� asked Shibi grimly.
The younger man understood
what his father was asking. �She was feeling weak on the way over to her
parent�s home and she had a serious fainting spell just as we concluded the
contract negotiations.�
�We�ll talk more about
this after we put your woman to bed.� murmured the elder Aburame.
A Kikai beetle dashed out
of the bathroom and buzzed frantically at Shino. �Okay, Rex� stop getting
stressed and upset� she�ll be fine. I promise.� He walked over to his
girlfriend and scooped her up from the floor of the bathroom.
�Dad, can you get me a
robe for Ino� I need to change her out of this dress.�
�Shinnooo�.� murmured a
weak voice.
�Shh, sweetheart, it�s
okay� I�m just going to change you into some clean clothes and put you to bed.�
��love..you�� murmured the
weak voice.
Shino�s voice cracked with
emotion and felt his kikai thrashing wildly around inside of him as he replied,
�Kami, I love you too, sweetheart��
The bug wielder gently
wiped his lover�s heated flesh with a soft cloth and patted her dry while he
waited for his father to bring the robe.
�Shino� call him off! I
can�t even slide the robe through the door�� called out his father in a
disgusted voice.
�Reeeexxxx� bad buugggg�
releassseee�� chuckled a weak voice.
Shino gently put the
blonde into the robe and scooped her up in his arms. He found his father
waiting for him when he exited the bathroom. Shibi could see the same thing
that his son saw� Ino looked so fragile and pale with large dark circles under
her eyes� The stress had finally caught up with the young woman.
Shino was walking past his
father when his lover�s fingers suddenly reached out and gripped his father�s
arm. �con�tract?�
Shibi could feel his heart
clench painfully at her unspoken plea. �Shhh� Ino, sweetie� it will be fine.
Let Shino and I worry about that... You need to rest.�
He watched the young woman
slide her hand off his arm with a sigh.
Shino came out of his room
after a while and looked at his father worried.
�Son, we need to have an
overdue chat�� murmured Shibi in a low growl, his kikai humming dangerously.
�Father� what about Ino?�
asked Shino.
�Don�t worry, son� We
always protect our own.� replied the Elder Abarame.
There was no question to the Clan Leader that Ino would be a lot safer
amongst the bugs.
