Chapter Text
Mina arrived home fuming in anger at her boyfriend. It all rings in her mind, his accusations, his false conclusions, his possessiveness, she was irritated at him. ‘So you let other people touch you always?’ Mina thought what is even the meaning of that? Does he think she goes to work and flirt with their customers? Does he think she’s low like that?
Just because Jiro touched her, does it mean they have a relationship? And why can’t she have friends like he does? Does he not trust her at all? Is this why he gave her Shishi because he doesn’t trust her?
“Fuck!” Mina shouted and threw Kurama towards her closet. She was sitting on her bed. After a few seconds she got up and get the plushie and hugged it.
“Sorry”, she mumbled to the stuffed toy and went back to lay on her bed, hugging the stuffed toy to sleep.
Shino, on the other hand, is fuming with jealousy. It's more extreme than before when he found out his non-lover is also having sex with a shinobi from Suna, someone that she loves to make it all worse. More extreme than when he found out he was merely a side quest to conquer. He can’t get over the man touching his girlfriend on her arms. What is even the meaning of that? They are not even that close. The first time he touched Mina like that, he deeply cared for her, he liked her already, so he cannot believe that Jiro only sees her as a friend. He clearly likes her, and she lets Jiro touch her. Why? Do they have a relationship? Did Mina just use him to help Michiro graduate? By now he knows his mind is playing tricks on him, but he doesn’t know what to think or how to clear his mind.
“Fuck!”, Shino said as he threw another punch to the wooden stump in the Aburame Training ground.
Then he threw another punch. He was breathing hard. The stump is almost destroyed with his punches, his shirt drenched in his sweat. He is a composed man, calm, and many would agree to this, but right now he just wants to let all this jealousy flow out of him.
The following Monday, was the start of the Genin Exams. It will run from Monday to Saturday, and by Tuesday the next week, the students will be assigned to their own Genin Team, that is if they pass the exams. Michiro has been preparing for this since summer and he feels confident he can pass.
“Michiro. Do you best okay? I’m rooting for you! Can’t wait to see you with your forehead protector.” Mina said to Michiro.
“Thanks Aunt Mina! I will give my best!”
“Your mom and dad will be proud of you! Always remember them, they love you so much!” Mina said, almost teary eyed.
“I will Aunt Mina, this is all for them, and you!” Michiro hugged his Aunt.
“Here’s your lunch! I made sure to pack you a lot of food. You can share some with Masaki too.”
“Uumm where’s Shino-sensei’s lunch?”
“Oh…He said to not… bother giving him lunch for the week.”
“Oh. Okay. Bye Auntie!”
During the lunch break on that day, Shino waited for the door of his office to open, but Michiro didn’t come, in fact for the whole week. Shino thought Mina must be really mad at him. On the other hand, Shino also didn’t bother to go to her house after work. One reason is that they are busy with the Genin Exams but another is that he doesn’t know how to approach her. What should he say, that he is right and she is wrong? That he deserves to feel jealousy because he lacks trust, because he guarded his heart ever since someone broke it? He is lost and he knew it. He is no expert in putting his feelings into words, and most especially during times like this, where he must swallow his pride and admit his mistake. But he really misses her, his days pass without her glow.
On Tuesday night, Mina got out of her room, running towards Michiro, who is studying at the dining table. She is in a panic.
“Michiro, please save Shishi, let her feed off your chakra.”
Mina is crying while holding a beetle in her hand. The beetle is going around in circles on her palm, clearly stressed.
“Auntie, is that Shino-sensei’s beetle?”
“It's my beetle, he gave her to me. Please feed her, she might die.”
Michiro got the beetle and placed it on his palm.
“I don’t feel anything, it seems like she doesn’t like me. Maybe she wants Shino-sensei’s chakra.”
Mina is still crying. She got the beetle back and said to it,
“It's okay Shishi, you can go back to your host. You will die if you stay with me.”
Then the beetle flew off through the balcony doors and into the open air.
Michiro was dumbfounded with his Aunt, she is now talking to insects, like her boyfriend, and she even has a name for it.
“Auntie, is something wrong with you and Shino-sensei?”
“I’ll go back to bed now. Please study hard for tomorrow's test.”
Shino was looking into his drawings when she saw Shishi arrive. He knew she let go of her beetle. It shouldn’t feel this bad, but it is like she gave back to him all that he has given her. And it hurts him.
The rest of the week happened swiftly with Mina always going home on time but working on papers at home till midnight, waiting for him to arrive on her balcony, with Shino busying himself with the genin exams while thinking of her every minute he could. Michiro was able to pass the written and practical exams. Shino was so happy for him and approached him on the training ground in the forest after the final test on Saturday.
“Michiro, congratulations! I’m proud of you!” Michiro is holding his forehead protector. He can’t help but hug his sensei and said,
“Thank you Shino-sensei. Thank you for all your help.”
“Thank you Michiro for trusting in me as well.” Shino patted the boy’s head
“Uuummm. Is everything okay with you and Auntie? She's been acting unusually the whole week, and she brings work home."
“We had… a misunderstanding…can you… make sure she eats well?” He knows Mina tends to not eat when busy with her work.
“Yes. But why can’t you just talk to her? I’m sure you miss her already, and she always talks to her Kurama doll every night. She even talks to insects. I might think she’s going crazy already.”
“I will, maybe just not now. See you on Monday Michiro.”
“Auntie Mina! I’m home!” Michiro said as he came home that day. He is wearing his forehead protector.
Mina went out of her room and greeted Michiro.
“Oh Gosh!!! Look at you. I’m so proud of you, my baby!” Mina hugged him, crying.
Mina knew he promised Shino she will not go to the Police Station anymore, but here she is, seeking answers. The missing girls’ friends came to her office this morning, asking about the case. They said they also went to the station but were dismissed by a certain police officer. Gathering her courage, she went there after her work on a Tuesday evening, at around 7pm, but this time she knew who to talk to, and who to avoid.
“Hi. Is Kiba Inuzuka here? I just have to discuss something with him, about a case” Mina said to the receptionist as she arrived at the police station.
“Please wait here ma'am."
She sat on the bench in the lobby, which also has the complaint desk, and is acting as a receiving area. It was a busy place, and people were coming in and out, civilians and Shinobis alike. After a few minutes, she saw Hideki down a hallway, staring at her, making his way to her.
“Mina! What are you doing here?” Kiba shouted, worried at her. She saw Kiba walking down the main stairs. She glanced at the hallway and saw Hideki looking at them.
“Kiba, can we talk somewhere private?”
“Come Mina, let's go to my office.”
When they arrived at his office, she began asking.
“Did Shino already talk to you about the case of the missing girls?”
“Yes. Didn’t he ask you to not come here?”
“Yes he did. But we haven’t talked since last week, and now the girls' friends are desperate for answers.”
“You two are not talking? What happened?”
“It's a long story… Please tell me you have a lead already, the girls have been missing for months.”
“Yes we do. I personally believe the case was deliberately overlooked. But we’re still conducting further investigation about the people involved, so we have to be discreet. Don’t worry Mina, we’ll find the girls.”
“Thank you Kiba. I'm glad to hear the case is moving already.”
“Don’t bother going here anymore Mina. I’ll drop by your office if we have updates.”
Kiba walked her to the lobby and said
“Seriously, you and Shino must talk to each other.”
“I guess he doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. Or maybe he broke off with me already?”
“That’s crap. Wait till I knock him to his senses.”
“He always comes to my apartment every night, but the past week, I didn’t see him.”
“Maybe he’s just busy with the Genin exams. Come on, cheer up! I’ll see you both on Saturday, okay? it's our wedding!”
“Yes. of course. I’ll be there. Thanks Kiba.”
Mina went out of the police station and was walking home. After turning right to pass a less crowded street, she feels like someone is following her. She looked around and saw no one and continued walking. Suddenly a cold hand grabbed her by the arm and he was faced with Hideki.
“Mina Nagisa. I told you and your friends to stay in your place. Why are you talking to that dog huh? What is he gonna do? Bite me?”
“Go away.” Mina removed her arm from his grip and continued walking but he followed her.
“Yah I told you to go away, but it seems you're persistent huh. If I know better, you’re that kind of civilian bitch, looking for shinobis to fuck… well I could give you that.”
Hideki puts his arms around her body and nudges his head into her neck, trying to steal kisses.
“Don’t touch me! Fuck off!” Mina is struggling to break free.
“Come on, I’ll give you what you’re looking for, a good fuck.” He is now holding her body against him, he clearly over powers her. Mina is still trying to remove his hands from her.
“Let me go! Help!” Mina shouted as loud as she could.
“Hey!”
It's Kiba. He ran and grabbed Hideki and threw a punch to his face which sent him to the ground, face all bloody. He grabbed him by his shirt and said,
“Don’t you fucking touch her again. I swear if you go near her again, I’ll fucking kill you.” Kiba shouted at him.
Two other police officers arrived and grabbed Hideki with both arms.
Kiba saw Mina was shocked and distressed and got her hand.
“Lets go Mina”
Hideki laughed while he was held by his arms, and said “Your cat wife knew you’re fucking that bitch?”
Kiba turned back to look at him.
“Fuck you! You don’t know who you’re fighting against! I’ll fuckin find out what you’re up to and I fuckin swear you’ll rot in jail.”
Kiba turned to the other two officers and said,
“Lock him up, and do the papers, sexual assault. We’ll file a case tomorrow.”
Kiba lifted Mina and went to run and jump to the Inuzuka Compound. When they arrived at his front door he said,
“Are you okay Mina?”
Mina did not answer, tears threatening to come out her eyes. She was clearly in shock.
‘Man, Shino, where are you?’ Kiba thought.
Kiba opened the door and yelled for Tamaki.
“Baby, I’m home. Mina is here!”
Tamaki appeared from the kitchen.
“What happened to Mina?”
Mina was crying already, the top buttons of her blouse were gone, exposing her breast a little. Tamaki hugged her.
“It's okay sis. It’s gonna be okay.”
“Would you like to take a rest Mina?” Kiba asked.
Mina nodded.
“Come with me, you can stay in our guest room. I’ll give you something to change into”, Tamaki said and led her to a room on the ground floor, next to the dining room. When she left the room, Kiba explained everything to Tamaki.
“Hideki doesn't know who he’s up to. Shino will be damn mad as hell.”
“Oh poor Mina. Good thing you followed that guy. Where is Shino by the way?”
“I already sent a dog to look for him.”
Shino doesn’t feel like eating at all. Even when his colleagues were celebrating beside him, drinking till they dropped, he ate silently. They had just finished assigning the genins to their team that morning, and the jounins had met with them. For the jounins, the work is just starting, they have to train the genins and accompany them on missions, however for Shino, while the genin exams are done, he still has classes to attend to, kids to teach even if they won’t listen to him. But the real reason he can’t celebrate tonight was because he missed Mina more than anything. He can’t fathom continuing his life without her. Will she even forgive him? He was lost in his thoughts.
“Shino-sensei, you okay?” Konohamaru noticed his extra silence. He was a man of few words but tonight, he is a man of no words at all.
Shino just turned his head to acknowledge him.
“So… Now that Michiro has graduated, you can have a hard launch already huh.” Konohamaru said, who already had glasses of liquor but Shino knew he had a high tolerance for it. Moegi, Udon and Hanabi are clearly drunk and seem to be lost in their own conversations and laughter.
Shino did not reply.
“Shino-sensei… Don’t tell me you fucked up already?”
Again, no reply from Shino.
“What happened?”
Shino contemplated if he should share stuff like this with Konohamaru. But it’s either he doesn't and he keeps on overthinking or tell him and get his opinion on it. Now is not the time to wallow in isolation.
“I was jealous of a man… who touched her arm.”
“Huh? What? Who is that man?”
“A client at work, also her friend”
“Hhhmmm…Sensei... You really got a serious trust issue huh? I got a sense you just over reacted. If she said he’s a friend, he’s a friend, well unless you caught them fucking, or kissing, or whatever… and you gotta talk about it… never go to sleep without resolving a fight.” Konohamaru said, then drank another shot.
Shino took it all in. He overreacted. He has trust issues. Mina and Jiro are indeed just friends. This is his problem and he let it get the best of him, hurting Mina in the process.
“What are you waiting for Sensei?”
“Thank you. I gotta go.”
And with that, Shino left and began searching for Mina, sending his beetles all across Konoha.
He first went to her apartment, and found Michiro with Masaki and Mei, a girl from the Hyuuga Clan, eating and drinking in the living room. The three have been put in Team 12.
“Shino-sensei?” Mei said when he emerged from the balcony.
“Where is your Auntie?” Shino asked Michiro.
“I haven’t seen her since morning.”
“Okay. I’ll go find her.” Shino said and disappeared to the balcony.
“Her Auntie and Shino-sensei are dating.” Masaki whispered to Mei, who had a puzzled look.
“Really?” Mei said, surprised.
“Yup.” Michiro said while looking at a beetle on the coffee table.
Shino’s beetles still can’t locate Mina. They were already looking for almost half an hour. The pheromones have really worn off already, since it has been a week since Shishi left Mina. He was walking at Senju park when Kiba’s dog found him. It gave him a note. Shino opened it and it said, ‘Mina at home. Urgent’. It's definitely Kiba’s handwriting. Shino immediately ran off to Kiba’s house.
When he reached Kiba’s house he opened his door without knocking and he saw Kiba and Tamaki seated at the dining table.
“What happened? Where’s Mina?”
Kiba stood up and walked to Shino.
“Man, where were you? Mina went to the police station to talk to me. Hideki followed her when she went out and when I got to them, the motherfucker was groping Mina.”
“Fuck him. I’m gonna kill him.” Shino’s insects started coming out of him and he seemed to head towards the door but Kiba held his shoulders to calm him. The insects slowly went back to his coat.
“Man, calm down. I handled it already. Punched him solid to his face. Had him locked up too. We’ll file a case against him tomorrow and I will get to what he’s up to. I know he also has something to do with the missing girls. For now, let's focus on Mina. So please, calm down.”
Shino was fuming with anger, his lips pursed. He began to calm himself.
“Mina is inside the guest room. You should go check on her.” Tamaki said with a worried face.
Shino thought about Mina, she must have been scared to death. He breathed deeply and nodded at his best friend and Tamaki.
“Can you also send a message to Michiro, tell him his Auntie is fine and she’s with me. Don’t mention… the assault, for now.” Shino said to Kiba.
“Sure man.” Kiba replied.
When Shino opened the door, the room was dark except for a dim night light. He saw Mina sitting on the futon with her legs up and her chin resting on her knees, wearing a yukata, her eyes looking to nowhere.
“Mina” Shino said as he closed the sliding door.
Mina raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes filled with sadness. Shino went to kneel in front of her and cupped her face.
“Are you okay?”
Tears are now pooling in her eyes.
“I’m sorry. I was an idiot, I’m sorry. My behavior was unacceptable, I’m sorry Mina.”
“I thought you’re gonna leave me.” Mina said.
“No, I would not leave you. I was stupid Mina, please forgive me.”
Shino kissed her forehead.
“Did he hurt you?” Shino said, looking for any bruises on her body. “I’m sorry I was not there. I’m so stupid for not talking to you.”
Mina was lost for words, she hugged him tightly.
“I’m sorry I failed to understand you. The pain you’ve been through makes you act like that.”
“No Mina. It’s my fault. I was stupid for not trusting you, I over reacted. Please forgive me. I love you so much…” He hugged her back tightly, not wanting to let her go.
At that moment, Shino used all the words he could conjure to win her back. He won’t throw away what they have over his pride, over his past.
Shino cupped her face and wiped her tears. Then Mina reached for his eyewear and removed it. She was surprised to find tears in his eyes.
“Forgive me Mina.”
“I forgive you Shino… do you have Shishi with you?” she was now ugly crying, filled with emotions.
“Yes.”
“I want her… back.” She said, voice shaking from crying.
“Of course my queen.” He said while wiping her tears and brushing her hair from her face.
“I missed you a lot.” Mina whispered.
“I missed you more. I was about to go crazy.” Shino said. Mina chuckled while still ugly crying.
“Me too.”
Mina put her hands around his neck and brought herself up to kiss him. Shino kissed her back. He sat on the futon and let Mina straddle him. His hands found their way around her. Their kisses went from apologetic to passionate and hungry, yet slow. How they missed devouring each other. Shino brought her closer to him, caressing her thighs, her buttocks, and her back. Mina raked her fingers through his hair, cupping his cheeks, kissing him deep, their tongues dancing with each other. Shino undid the sash around Mina’s waist and opened her yukata. He kissed her neck, and her chest while his fingers grazed on her naked skin waist. He yanked her strapless bra down and freed her breasts, brought a nipple to his lips and began sucking it while he kneaded the other. Mina let out a moan, he was sure it was loud enough for Kiba and Tamaki to hear.
“Ooohhh. I guess they’re making amends already?”, Tamaki said when they heard Mina’s loud moaning.
“It's called make up sex baby.” Kiba said, smirking.
“Ooohhh Shinooo” They heard Mina again. Both of them chuckled.
“Let's go upstairs and give them privacy.” Kiba whispered. “Do you also want to have make up sex too?”
“But we don’t have a fight, silly you.” Tamaki said giggling.
“Okay. Just sex then baby.” Kiba said as he lifted her up and brought her up the stairs.
Shino gave the same attention to her other breast, kissing and sucking its peak.
“Ooohhh Shinooo”
Mina began rubbing her covered pussy against his bulge while she held on his shoulders. Shino let go of her nipples and let out a low groan. He looked up to her while she continued grinding against his fully clothed cock.
“Mina, I missed you.”
“I missed you too Shino.”
She stopped moving. Shino quickly unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his pants, and freed his throbbing cock. He slid her panties to the side and she immediately pushed down and wrapped her pussy around his cock. Both of them moaning in the process.
“I love you Mina. I won't leave you.”
“I love you too Shino.” Mina said as she cupped his face again and began slowly moving her hips up and down, never breaking eye contact with him.
Shino brought his hands to her breasts and fondled both her nipples,slowly rubbing up and down, eliciting moans from her, sending fire to her core. They continue moving slowly, Shino can feel his every inch disappear inside her, every vein and and every nerve were touched. Then Mina let out a loud moan and buried her head in his neck, which is still clothed with his high collar shirt. He knew she came hard as she began catching her breath and holding him tight while her walls got tight around his cock.
Without pulling out of her, he lifted her and laid her down on the futon and kissed her on the lips. He began pounding as he felt her warm walls squeeze him, brought about by her orgasm. As he gets lost in her glowing eyes, he finds his rhythm, his gorgeous length reaching her inner being. And with a newfound longing for her, he spurts his seeds into her queen.
Mina opened her eyes, she was laying on her side. It was still dark in the room and Shino was sitting beside her, looking at her.
“You haven’t slept yet Shino?”
“No.”
How can he? He blamed himself. If only he had gathered up the courage to talk to her soon, she would not have gone to the police station, Hideki would not have had a chance to assault her.
Mina sat up and held his cheek with a hand.
“Don’t blame yourself please. I will file a case against him. At least he will be locked up while the other case is also rolling. His misdeed got the best of him.”
She was brave, Shino thought. Already wanting to face a legal battle.
“I thought he’s gonna… kill me but It's the thought of dying… while we haven’t reconciled yet…that’s what scared me.”
“Mina, I’m here now. He won’t come near you again.”
“I’m also thinking, maybe you can also teach me basic taijutsu? Must be satisfying to punch a dick’s face.”
Shino chuckled and held her hand and kissed it.
“If that’s what you want my queen.”
“Come, let's sleep now.”
The following morning, both of them wake up tangled into each other, content and happy to be back together. Mina laughed.
“You still have all your clothes, look at me, I’m a mess”
Shino then helps her fix herself. He could already hear the couple outside the room, arguing over a burnt toast.
When they got out of the room, the couple was already sitting at the dining table, filled with food.
“You’re awake now. Come let's have breakfast.” Tamaki said.
Kiba threw Shino a knowing look and smirked.
When both of them sat down their chairs, Kiba said,
“So, are you two good now? You seemed to have resolved your fight last night.” Just as Shino thought, his buddy will not let it go without teasing him.Mina blushed a little.
“Yes. Our make-up sex is great.” Shino said matter of factly.
There was a pause, then Kiba chuckled.
“That’s my buddy!” Kiba said while giving Shino a fist bump, which Shino reciprocated.
Mina and Tamaki looked at each other, shocked by Shino’s words, but they guess their boys are just comfortable talking about these things. They laughed and began eating their breakfast.
