Ohitsujiza: The clan of Rams [Naruto FanFiction] [Completed]

Chapter Five

 'What is this feeling, my heart is beating so fast. Am I ill?' She thought to herself as the boys finally stood in front of them, however her deep thought was cut short as Kiba began to ask Alex to dance.'

Alex couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at a boy she could only recognize by his light brown hair that seemed to spike upwards without any help. She knew that he would have to look as ordinary as possible for the mission but she didn't expect him to take off his glasses as well as his high collared coat. As both Shino and Kiba made their way over to the girls Alex seemed to go into a trance. All that she could see was Shino and the intense look that clouded his eyes. It was as if there was no one else but them and that he was her saviour to take her back to a beautiful haven away from this world. Nothing seemed to matter in those first moments that she saw the real him but them.

'What is this feeling, my heart is beating so fast. Am I ill?' She thought to herself as the boys finally stood in front of them, however her deep thought was cut short as Kiba began to ask Alex to dance. However he was rudely interrupted by Shino, who without a word decided to drag Alex away from their team mates and onto the dance floor. The look on her face was one of confusion and surprise. Everything was moving so quickly for her. One moment she was on a mission with her comrades and then next she was trying to control the thoughts about Shino that flooded her mind. Before she had time to even think about the words to say, Shino had spoken.

 “We're going to dance-” Before there was a moment to spare he added.

 “For the mission”

 Alex was still bewildered by what was happening. Her heart was pounding a mile a minute and she knew if she got any closer to Shino, his beetles would pick up the difference in her heart rate. Whether they did or not, it was hard for Alex to tell as Shino had not mentioned it yet. She couldn't help herself from staring at his eyes. They were not what she was expecting from him, then again she didn't really know what to expect. Her, along with the rest of the team had spent their time in the academy and through becoming Chūnins together, but not once had the opportunity to see what was behind those glasses that Shino was so desperate to wear. It had always been a curiosity of hers. It was the same temptation as it was for Naruto and Sakura to see behind the mask that Kakashi Sensei wore. As much as she wanted to see those eyes of his, she never thought it would come true and now that she was looking at them, she didn't know what to do. However it became apparent to her that she must have been staring at him for a while, since when she snapped out of her day dream they were still dancing but Shino had a slightly black aura surrounding him. Alex couldn't help but let out a quite laugh and smiled at him awkwardly.

 “Sorry, Shino but you know I've never seen your eyes and they are not what I would expect from you.”

 “I didn't want to, but for the sake of the mission I had to. Don't get used to it. You'll never see them again”

 Maybe he was right, she might not see them again but Alex wasn't one to take this challenge lying down.

 “Oh really? I bet you I will see them again one day when the leaf is a peaceful place” And with that she let a smirk slide onto her lips as they danced.

 Dancing wasn't quite her style however the main point of the mission wasn't for the dancing but protecting the Hokage's daughter. Alex glanced around the room to scan for any trouble arising. Nothing came to her intimidate attention but as her eyes landed on Kiba trying to dance with Hinata she let out a little chuckle. She was glad that she wasn't the only one having problems with the dancing portion of the mission as it looked like Kiba was having monstrous problems with stepping on Hinata's feet which caused her to politely whimper in pain.

 After Alex's little fit of laugher that was caused by watching Kiba constantly getting frustrated with the dancing, the space surrounding Shino and Alex remained silent for the rest of the dance, which gave Alex time to think about what what happening with her. She hadn't been effected by someone other than the pain that her father had been bringing her recently due to her clans unknown future then Shino had in the last ten minutes. There was something else going on within her heart that she either didn't know about or refuse to believe due to her stubborn nature. Most likely it was due to the face that she was a very stubborn girl and refused to believe anything that she didn't understand. She was like Naruto in the sense, she didn't quite care about things that she didn't understand. However unlike that blonde brat she knew how to handle herself and create a situation to dissolve any tension.

 As the song ended Shino stepped away from Alex. She felt his gaze hover over her for a few moments which caused her cheeks to burn red against her pale skin, however before she had any time to react he had moved away and left her standing there as if she was a body without a soul or purpose. She snapped out of her trance as she felt Hinata's hand leading her off the dance floor.

 “Alex are you OK? You seem out of it?” Hinata glanced at her friend with worrying eyes.

 Alex didn't want to worry the girl as she didn't even know what was wrong herself so she just smiled and nodded gently.

 “Of course, I was just caught of guard by Shino's eyes is all. “

 “Well, we should get back to our mission”

 Alex nodded at her statement, after all the whole reason they were at this ball was to protect the guest of honour. At the moment there didn't seem to be much to worry about until Kiba jogged over to the two girls with a worried look smeared all over his face as he sniffed the air franticly.

 “We have a big problem!”
