Falling For Bug Boy? (Shino Love Story)

Chapter 5. Fighting Against the Enemy

We have to protect Eri! 

My thoughts inside of my head yelled as I ran towards the tent to pick her up. When I got inside, Shino was awake and looking around in a defensive stance. Eri had seemed to have awaken from the noise of the bomb. 

"Shino, you take care of the enemies outside. I will take Eri to Kiba." I said to him and he nodded. Quickly, I picked up Eri and ran out of the tent. After a few seconds, I heard another loud explosive behind me. 

"Chika, what is going on?!" she asked in a mixture of a frantic and worried tone. 

"It looks like you do have some money on your head. Some enemies just ambushed us and Kiba will be taking you to safety. Shino and I will stay behind and fight back the enemies. Do not worry, that was our back up plan in case anything happened." I explained to her and as soon as I saw Kiba and Akamaru I sighed in relief. Despite the fact that both of them were in battle. "Kiba!" 

"Switch off?" Kiba asked me and I nodded. In a swift movement, he jumped back and I pushed Eri into his arms. I took out some shrunken and threw them at the enemy. Kiba jumped onto Akamaru and ran off to take Eri to safety. 

"You're mine now." I said and the man a classroom length away from me scoffed. 

He looked similar to a bandit. The outfit he wore consisted of all black and a bit baggy clothes. His hood was up and covered his face. I noticed that he had black straps around his leg. When I looked more closely, I noticed a bag was wrapped around his leg. 

That must be where he has a supply of kunai or shruniken bombs. If I can get ahold of that, then maybe I can take advantage of the battle. I thought to myself and pulled out a few shrunken of my own. Just then, he threw some kunai at me. Swiftly, I flipped to the side and threw some kunai to intersect some of the kunai thrown at me. A bomb was hit and an explosion happened between the two of us. I was thrown back a few feet from the force. 

There was some dust in the air and I took that to my advantage. I lunged forward towards the enemy as other explosives were heard from Shino's direction. When the enemy realized I was running towards him, he threw some more bombs in my direction. I used the force of motion in my feet to help me flip into the air and spiral towards him. 

"You're not going to get me that easily!" I yelled as I began to form hand signs. "Water Jutsu: Ten Swords of Punishment!" 

Water swords were spewed out of my mouth towards the enemy. The water swords were as strong as steel and did take up a bit of chakra to use. Times were dire though. Our main priority was to protect Eri. The enemies had to be taken out first and I saw no need to waste my chakra in small moves when I could attempt to get the enemy out of the way by using my best jutsu. 

One of the best parts about the jutsu, was that when the swords made impact onto something and exploded they acted as small knives. I had to do my best to avoid the aftermath though because they could have easily hit me as the enemy. 

"Gotcha!" I yelled with a grin on my face as I saw the enemy fall a bit. I took that as my sign to try to take the explosives. I quickly attatched some wire to a pair of kunai then threw one kunai at him. Then I threw the other down in hopes of trapping him. 

I then landed on top of him as he was trapped between the ground and the wire. I felt his blood from the water jutsu. Carefully, I held up a kunai and was holding it to his throat. I nerviously shook a bit. Just as I pushed the kunai closer to this throat, the man yelled at me. 

"Go ahead and kill me! The world would be perfectly fine without me." he screamed and I froze. Slowly, my hands went to his hood and pulled it down. I saw tears had formed in his eyes. "Just put the world out of the misery of having me here." 

Most others would have taken that as their chance to destroy the enemy right then and there, but my inner helper was coming out. I had to tell him how much worth he had. 

"You idiot!" I yelled at him in frustration. "You have to try your best in the world. You are only worthless if you continue to tell yourself that you are. While you tell yourself that, you are taking away time you have to better yourself. You can make your life so good." 

"You are telling your enemy to keep trying?" he asked me in disbelief. 

"To keep trying to make his life better! Kidnapping Eri will not make your life anybody. Look where that path has led you so far. If somebody else were against you, you would have been dead. Luckily for you, it is I. Look at this as your chance to keep going." I said to him and he lightly smiled at me with an odd look in his eyes.  

"Such sweet words." softly, he said to me with a light smile on his face. "Too bad they will be the last ones you will say." 

"Wha-" I began to say but suddenly felt multiple kunai in my back. They decorated my back with their metal moonlight shine. 

"You wouldn't think that we would be stupid enough to put all of our cards on the table?" he asked me and laughed deviously.

"Y-You t-t-tricked." my voice had disbelief in it as I looked at him with big eyes and blood oozing down my back.

"If somebody else were against you, you might have lived. Unluckily for you, it was us." he said with a smirk on his face and I felt another kunai hit my back. 

In a swift movement, I was kicked off of him by his teammate. As I rolled across the ground, I felt the kunai shift positions in my back. It was when I saw enemy two pull out multiple kunai with bombs them, that I tried to get up and fight. He quickly threw it at me and I screamed in horror as I fumbled with my weapon pouch and tried to get away. 

I won't be able to intersect all of them. 

Suddenly, thousands of bugs appeared and stopped the bombs. They intersected them and bug guts flew every where. 

"What? Kyaku should have been able to handle the other guy!" the main enemy shouted. Bugs began to swarm around both of the men and they began to scream in agony. "Oh kami!" 

I had no time to process the fact that bug guts were on me. Shino appeared in front of me on one knee. When he looked up to me, he pushed his glasses up and began to talk. 

"You let the enemy take advantage of you. You jeopardized the mission and your life." he said to me and I was suddenly frustrated to the point of tears. "I will help bandage you up, but you need to try to not let your feelings get in the way of the mission anymore." 

"You know what Shino? I get it! I get that I am too nice of a person at times. Fine, you were right about my downfall. It is in my nature to help people. Do you think that I had wanted things to go this way? Do you think I wanted to be literally stabbed in the back multiple times? But I am going to keep trying to be a nice person because I honestly believe that one small act of kindness can change things! I have heard what others have said about me behind my back. I have head from multiple people that my niceness will get me killed and that I should toughen up, but I ignore it because I honestly believe that I can help change things. I don't care that to others I am naive. This is who I am Shino. So instead of constantly lecturing me, just please accept that. I am sorry you have a terrible teammate that does not want to so easily hurt others!" when I finished my rant, I was shaking and had tears running down my face. 

He was silent for a few moments before he answered in his usual tone of voice. "If that is all, I will bandage up your wounds for you." 

"Fine." I choked out as I turned around and let him pull the multiple kunai out of my back. It was when he had finished pulling them out and began to wrap around my chest that I thought to myself.

Damn it. Even when I am ranting I can't help but to say please.
