Zolo was laying in his hammok thinking about his captain.
Living on the Merry-Go with Luffy was a trying business.
Luffy sang (badly) at the crack of dawn, shouted random things all day, and snored like a dying cow the whole night through until the next morning, when he promptly stared singing again.
What was worse was that with all the racket it was nearly impossible for Zolo to get the rest he wanted.
Zolo usually baited the rubber boy away by telling him when the crap-cook was to busy playing puppet to Nami to gaurd the kitchen. If Zolo failed to distract him, Luffy would talk for hours.
Not that he minded, in fact he rather liked Luffy's doteing on him.
Zolo just wanted to sleep sometime this millenia.
So, he had to come up with ideas to make Luffy be quiet for awhile. In fact, right now had been half-listening to Luffy for fiffteen minutes.
The crate Luffy was sitting on looked like it was ready to cave in on itself.
" Hey Luffy? Why's it me you always stick around? " Luffy simply smiled. " Aw, that's an easy one! You're cool, and nice, and you're my best friend! "
Zolo let out a sigh. " Well, you could learn how to cook from Sanji, chart out coordinates with Nami, you could learn healing methods from chopper, or even listen to Usopp's stupid stories. It's not like you could really learn anything from watching me sleep and train. " Luffy got a slightly distressed expression.
" But I like hanging out with you Zolo! " " ...Why? "
There was a long pause.
" Can you...keep a secret? " Zolo's eyebrow raised. " ' A swordsman always keeps his secrets. ' It's in the- " Luffy quickly placed a kiss on Zolo's lips. " code. "
Luffy couldn't hold back his smile at the kawaii blush that covered Zolo's face.
" D-did you just kiss me? " " Yup! So anyway, as I was saying about that goat- "
Zolo sat up and pulled Luffy onto the hammock with him, laying Luffy next to him. " Huh? Zolo? " Zolo layed back, colseing his eyes.
" Just keep talking...I'm listening. " " Okay! " And just like always the more Luffy talked the calmer Zolo felt.
After awhile Luffy yawned. " I'm kinda getting sleepy. Hey, is it okay if I sleep up here with you? " " Sure. " " Thanks! " Luffy snuggled up to him.
" Oh, and Zolo? " Zolo open an eye to stare at the smiling straw-hat. " What? " " I love you! "
Zolo chuckled. " Can you keep a secret? " " Sure I can! What is it? " Zolo grabed Luffy's chin and brought him into a passionate kiss. Tounges started out playing, but soon it became an all-out war, in the end Luffy's was the winner...But Zolo didn't mind.
Soon they had to break for air. Zolo smiled slyly. " I love you too. "

Summary: The REAL reason that Ranma and Ryoga fight in the morning...

Story start!

Ryoga strolled into the Tendo's kitchen, just in time to see Ranma finish off a bag of salt-n-vinagar chips. " Damn you Ranma! Why're you such a frigin' idgit? "
The war was on again.
Ranma looked up, completely not understanding why the pig boy had just yelled at him. " You ate my chips! " Ranma stood up, glaring at Ryoga. " We'll maybe I wouldn't have ate your stupid chips if they weren't just laying there on the counter! It's not like this is YOUR HOUSE you know! "
Every time they yelled back it was a dare. A dare to push to the inevitable.
" Shut up you morron! It's not your house EITHER! " " Hey! Who do you think you're callin' a morron buddy? you can't walk two blocks without getting lost! " By now they were yelling right in eachothers faces.
The fighting always continued untill one finally caved. It was a ' winner takes all ' battle.
" I sill can't believe you ate every last chip, it was a FULL BAG! You're even more of a pig than- " " What Ryoga? YOU? " " Nooo, I was going to say ' your whorish girl side ' ! "
Fighting fair? Who needed it! This WAS combat after all. And everyone knows in any type of fight you go for the weak-spot.
" You take that back Ryoga! " " Feh! Not a chance you pansy! Not until you say you're sorry about eating my chips! "
The demand for the surrender hung thick in the air.
A sigh excaped Ranma and he stepped back in defeat, decidedly making the self-excuse that it was ' to early ' .
The white flag had been raised.
" Yeah yeah. whatever. " Suddenly Ryoga pulled Ranma forward, cupping his chin. " That makes you uke today! " Ranma sneered. " Good for you. Ryoga - for once in like forever, Me - so many times I've lost count. " Ryoga simply smirked, placing a kiss on Ranma's chapped lips. " Don't make an even bigger ass of yourself uke. " Ranma growled and puched Ryoga. " You dumb jerk-face! "
Pretty soon the sound of an all-out frenzy of blows had the intire Tendo house-hold up from their beds and into the kitchen, placing bets on who would win.
Because some wars wadged forever.

It was just another spring day in the village hidden in the leaves.
A small roll of clouds could be seen in the distance, with the hope of a warm mid-day rain. Shikamaru Nara sat on his porch gazeing listlessly at the white billows that seemed to be inching closer to his home.
The pen in his hand hung saddly over the un-marked paper. How troublesome... He could wirte forever on a report about...almost anything...but the note he was trying to write perplexed him to no end. The letter was for Shino Aburame
It was a LOVE LETTER.
Even if the insect-nin rejected him he douted Shino would go around telling people about how Shikamaru felt about him. Shino had always been the silent type of guy...that was one of the things the deer boy loved about him.
When exactly was it when I fell for him...?
:: Flashback ::
Training had ended for the day and people had departed to various places in sets of two. His friends finding thier life partners, while he remained alone had upset Shikamaru more than he could say.
Shockingly the laziest of all the genin had started to pine for a love to call his own. Someone to stand out in the rain in an embrace with until they both caught cold, with no other apparent purpose other than to stay together. He could see doing something like that.
But here he was at a park alone bacicly hating every little speck of dust that got to close to him. This is such a drag...
" You...play go, correct? "
Shikamaru Turned his head to see Shino. " So what? " " Would you...like to play a round of go with me? "
The mesh wairing boy layed down to stare at the sky. " I'm kind of busy. " " Oh. " The small reply sounded meek and was barely wispered.
The lazy-nin's heart stung at his own spitefulness. As Shino continued to walk the burning in Shikamaru's chest kept growing. " Wait! I didn't say you had to leave! "
The bug boy turned to show a raised eyebrow. Shikamau could feel his face heat up. " I-I mean...You can watch coulds with me...if you want to. "
Yeah right, like he acutaly come back you dumbass! To his surprise Shino walked back and streached his body out next to his.
" Let's play the cloud game. " " What? " Shikamaru pointed at one of the clouds. " It's a cat. Can you see it? " Shino smiled making Shikamaru smile as well.
He has such a pretty face... " Yes, I can. That one looks like a male tiger-swallowtail. " The bug obsesed boy lifted his arm to point, brushing hands with Shikamaru in the prosess. " See? "
Shikamaru nodded without even looking...he was to distracted by the tingling that ran up his arm and spread to the rest of his being.
...like a thousand butterfly kisses...Shino...I think I have a crush on you.
:: End Flashback ::
Shikamaru tossed the pen and started to put on his sandals on a deep urdge to revisit the place he had fallen for Shino.
It didn't take long to reach the spot, but when he got there he stoped dead in his tracks.
" Um...Sh-Shino. " The boy with glasses startled, jumped, turned around and smiled. " Hello Shika-kun. "
Did he just call me Shika-kun...?
Shika kicked a stray rock. " I've been thinking and...I think I like you. "
Oh my god! I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD!
" I like you too. "
Shikamru gave a dumbfouned look. Had he just heard right? His plan of strategy killed by a fluke slip of the tounge? And the fluke worked? And Shino admitted his feelings so easily! Looking at the sleepless nights of worry...they seemed vaguely crude.
" Can I kiss you Shika-kun? " Shikamaru would have been less shocked if Shino had started to combust on sight. " O-okay. "
Shino moved foreward , pulling his jacket down and he and Shikamaru started to kiss.
Shikamaru ran his fingers through the bug boys hair and licked shyly at his bottom lip. Shino opened his mouth giving Shika entrance. Thier tounges wadged a lustful battle. Soon they had to pull apart to breath.
" I...love you so much Shino. " " I love you too Shika-kun. " Shikamaru Smiled and held his love tightly as it started to rain.
A strange, happy realization dawned on Shikamaru. He - Shikamaru Nara - had gotten what he was waiting for...

Strange {(Shino/Naruto)} -One-shot-

Title: Strange
This is: A One-shot
Diclaimer: Naruto is not mine.
Rated: 13+
Pairings: Shino/Naruto
Warnings: Crack pairing!
Summary: Somtimes Shino wonderd if his life could get any stranger...

Story start!

Shino Aburame had been very un-characterlisticly hungry today.
Soon he had found himself at Ichraku's, just in time for a certain blonde's daily ramen-binge. At Shino's appearance Naruto had be quite obliged to start talking non-stop.
" Are you going to get miso? " " No, I don't like it. " Naruto paused for a moment, shrugged, and continued his ramblings.
Sometimes Shino wondered if his life could get any stranger. For starters, he was packed full of bugs. He was heir to the great Aburame clan. He was the probably the most anti-socail person is the WORLD. scratch that, the UNIVERSE. Well maybe besides Sasuke Uchiha, that guy is out-right depressing. And probably the number one thing: he was gay.
He suddenly noticed that Naruto had stopped speaking. " I'm sorry Naruto-kun, were you saying someting? "
" I was asking if you could show up here the same time tomorrow? " The kitsune-holder's eyes shone with hope. " Maybe. " Shino resumed eating as a pout appeared on Naruto's face.
" Aww! Come on Shino-Kun! Please? " " Fine. "
" Cool! Believe it! " Naruto happily started to eat the rest of his ramen and spout random things.
Three days later
Shino was dead on his feet.
He had been called out on a very big mission only a few hours after eating with Naruto and had just now gotten back to Kohona.
Still as need for rest was eating away at him something else was doing it even worse.
It was almost insane that he would even consider what he was doing right now. He was running as fast as he could to Ichiraku's.
Maybe he was just a little bit overly inebriated from the sake he'd had this morning? Maybe those chakara-sucking bugs had finaly taken a toll on his shinobi-wrecked mind? Maybe he was just looking for an excuse for self-abuse? He didn't know and at this point he really didn't care. The only thing he cared about right now was Naruto.
He had to find Naruto.
He had told Naruto he would eat with him, but he hadn't gotten the chance to. He needed to explain himself.
Maybe it wasn't just that...maybe... I just want to see him. I wan't to hear him talking with that sing-song voice. I want to be graced by his healing smile.
The blood-wraught mission had slamed a harsh realisation on the bug-ninja. He had barely dodged many an assault on his life and each time he saw an image of Naruto.
He didn't want to die.
He wanted to be back at the ramen stand, only half-listening to the orange-clad wonder of the leaf-village. To feel their hands brush occasionally as they ate in the close seats.
" Naruto! "
Naruto turned from his ramen to stare at the now panting shinobi. " Oi. What are you doing here? I though you would crash after such a hard mi-? " His question was cut short by a soft kiss.
Shino pulled his head back. " I wanted to see you. I'm sorry I wasn't here to eat with you. "
Naruto was blushing. A minute of silence seemed like days. " Shino? Would you kiss me again? "
Shino felt his breath hitch. Shino leaned, ghosting lips and Naruto quickly filled the gap.
They kissed eagerly. Naruto vaguely noted that Shino's lips were chapped. He nipped at them lightly and Shino parted them. Naruto's tounge slid inside and commenced to playing with Shino's.
' Maybe I do like miso-flavor... '
Somtimes Shino wondered if his life could get any stranger...
and it was times like this that he wouldn't have it any other way.
