As a little boy, Shino Uzumaki was constantly teased about his hair. It was an odd color, to be sure. The roots were deep red, the middle and highlights nearly a carrot-orange, and the tips were as blond as his dad's. He wasn't sure why his hair color was so funny, and it was made fun of on a regular basis. The most intense bullying of all came from a slightly older boy, who towered over the short and petite child. Shino's nickname was "Puny Carrot", and jokes constantly being made about his head, 'being on fire'.
As much as Kana tried to defend her sissy of a brother, Naruto finally saw the worst of it when Shino came home in tears. Desperately clinging to his sister's hand, he seemed inconsolable. Sasuke was in a coma, and Naruto had become the single father of twins. Taking Shino to his room, Naruto sat the upset little boy on his lap. Concerned, he listened to Shino's sad stories of how he was always teased. With a deep sigh, Naruto offered his son a smile. "My mom had red hair too, you know? She was always teased as a little girl."
"Really?" Sniffling, Shino's interest was perked. "What she do?"
Laughing nervous, Naruto looked away. "Well, she was smaller than the rest of her class too, ya know. She had a mean temper and beat other kids up...so don't do that. But, when I met her, she told me something."
"What?" Blinking, Shino looked up with his sad blue eyes, red and puffy from crying.
"She said that there is a special phrase for the only person in the world who said they liked her hair...well, two people. Me and my dad. Do you know what it was?"
Shaking his head, Shino waited for the answer.
"I love you. She said whoever finally said they liked her hair was the person she loved the most, and that was my dad. Her red hair was the red string of fate for her. And it'll be for you too. You'll find a special someone who loves your hair, just like I do, and you'll be really happy together."
Smiling, Shino seemed to understand. Clamping his little arms around his daddy, he squeezed. "You like my hair, so I love you, daddy."
It was innocent enough, but those words stuck with Shino ever since, and over time, he also developed Kushina's fiery personality. While he was sweet as sugar, most of the time, he wasn't above death threats and glaring with his red and black eyes when pissed off enough. Between himself, and Kana, they developed new nicknames. "The Demon Twins." At the age of 13, he was about to hear someone compliment his hair other than his family. It was something he had been waiting for his entire life, and when the confession finally came, he was completely not prepared for it.
"I don't know. I like your hair, Shino. It really suit you."
Shino's guard immediately dropped, causing his bitter rival of the last five years, to land a punch onto his face. Tsuki, a young boy a few months older than Shino, had dark skin with dark, silver hair. His eyes were also silver, which was a trait that ran with his family line. His specialty, charka phasing, was passed down through blood. Nicknamed, Ghosting, Tsuki's family line could transform their entire bodies into a ghost-like form, and move through solid objects. They could put their hands inside of someone's chest to remove a blade or squeeze their heart to death, for example. This made them very dangerous.
The only way to defeat them was to manipulate and disrupt their charka flow, if you could catch them. Shino's Sharingan, could also disrupt them if one was weak enough. Tsuki was also the one who had been teasing Shino about his hair since the day they met. Multiple times did it send little Shino to tears. It was very shocking when Shino heard those words, from this jerk. Jumping away, Shino rubbed his jaw, though looked like he no longer wanted to fight. Relaxing, Tsuki looked confused.
"What? One little punch and you give up already, Flame Head?"
"...Did...you just say you like my hair?"
"Hm?" Rubbing his chin, Tsuki thought for a moment. He was just talking to kill time in the sparing like usual. "Yeah. It suits you. I like it."
"But...But you always made fun of me!"
"Well, yeah, it looks funny. It would look terrible on anyone else, but it looks good on you. You fight with blaze release now too...What's the big deal? We gonna fight or not?"
It didn't take long for Tsuki to see that Shino's face was turning as red as his hair.
"I LOVE YOU!"
Wide eyed, Tsuki blinked. "...What?"
But Shino had already run off, embarrassed and angry. It wasn't that he actually loved Tsuki. In fact, he hated the asshole, but no one else ever said they liked his hair before. This was his fated person, and it pissed him off! Finding a corner in the temple, Shino sighed heavily. It made it worse that Tsuki was a guy! Shino never liked guys before, and had plenty of girlfriends! Once he hit his growth spurt, Shino had become quite a catch with the girls, but all of them said he would look better with different colored hair. He didn't want to become one of ...those. He was surrounded by homos, as is. His two dads and all their friends...This sucked.
Left alone in the fighting ring, Tsuki was busy blushing as he rubbed his face. That was...unexpected. Walking over, he was tapped on the shoulder by a tiny, black hair girl.
"What happened with you and my brother?" Kana had only seen Shino run off, but didn't really get what happened. Her and Tsuki had been actually good friends since they met. "Finally confessed to him and scared him off?" And because they were best friends, she knew that Tsuki had a long standing secret crush on her brother. She absolutely delighted in devious affairs. Ever since she was a child, she notice how Tsuki would go out of his way to torment Shino. Finally confronting him about it, she was taken by surprise to see the bully, turning pink in the face and stumbling about his words when talking about Shino.
Doing the sisterly thing, she befriended the shy boy and brought him over nearly every day, just so he could spy on Shino. They had been best friends, ever since, both taking an odd pleasure in Shino's discomfort. Tsuki was admittedly a bit of a sadist, and so was she. Birds of a feather, right? She would do things like say she was going to marry Tsuki, just to have Shino freak out. Not that she actually had a crush on him, as she also knew that Tsuki was more of a girl than she was at heart, despite his looks and size. It was like having the little sister she always wanted.
"...No need. He said he loved me then ran off." Blinking, Kana tilted her head.
"Huh?! What the hell he do that for??" Despite her cool and calculating demeanor, she was much more like her blond father when taken by surprise. Tsuki only shrugged, squatting to the ground to hide his shy face in his hands. "What do I do, Kana? ...I'm so happy..."
"Well, we have the entire summer training here, right? This village has plenty of date spots! I've already been to a lot of them. I could give you some pointers..."
Looking up innocently, Tsuki blushed more. "You mean it?"
In the temple, Shino continued to hide, gradually making his way away from the training grounds. He had been in the Village of the Hidden Oasis for a few weeks, as Gaara sent up training for specialized, recently graduated ninja to be trained here during their first summer after school as actual ninja. Though, because of Naruto living here, Shino and Kana were practically natives after five years. Sneaking out the back, Shino headed down the path toward his father's store. It was odd for him when he got down there and the door was locked. "Huh...closed early?"
Well, Shino knew where the key was hidden and opened the door anyway. Heading up, he opened the storage room door and immediately freaked out. "Hey dad, I...AH!" All he could see was his nude father laying on top of someone...and ran out the room before anything else could damage his childhood. Naruto seemed to come out of his haze, and suddenly realized what happened.
"SHINO! Wait! Hold on!'
"How could you, Dad?! Father is still in a coma and you're cheating on him! I know it's been a long time, but!"
"Shino! It's not what you think!! Shit!" As Naruto scrambled around to fix his pants, Sasuke casually got up and redid his kimono. He was a bit sticky underneath, but the fabric absorbed it well. "Wait! Don't go out there yet!" Naruto tried to stop Sasuke, but fell to the ground with his shorts halfway up.
From the other side of the door, Shino continued to yell. "Tell that whore to come out here! Father would come out of his coma right now if he knew you were a miserable cheat!"
"I would?"
Opening the door, Sasuke stood with a soft smile. His long hair pulled to one side as he looked nearly face to face with his son. Shino suddenly stopped yelling, his face too shocked to conjured up the muscles to speak. Suddenly, tears formed in the large blue eyes and he jumped in Sasuke's arms.
"Father!" Petting the spiky, flame-patterned hair, Sasuke let himself be cried upon for the second time today.
"Like father, like son. I'm turning into the human tissue today."
