He was on his way to the Konohagakure research laboratory to pick up important documents.
The brown-haired man wondered why he had to do this. He theorized and pondered for a long time, but the theory that he should do this because his teammates were on a three-way mission
sounded the simplest.

Well, he thought, he just had to go through with this.
"Maybe it will be really interesting down there and I'll learn something about it ..." he thought, ignoring the way.
He tripped over a medium-sized rock and nearly fell on his nose, then sighed.

He looked at his watch and noticed that he had been walking around for a full quarter of an hour.
He sighed again, not liking rush, and then finally started running.
After another five minutes he had finally arrived and was marveling at the little hut he found. Somehow he had imagined the research laboratory to be bigger.
He went to the rotten wooden door and knocked three times.

He looked confused into an old wrinkled face when the door was opened for him.
He didn't know whether he was really in the right place.
But when the man invited him in and asked what brought him here, he only said: "Red fire burns higher, clear water flows less and green leaves disintegrate." (Secret message received from Tsunade to go to the laboratory, which was secret come )
The man nodded, locked the door and the two windows in the room, stuffed the holes in the walls with cloths and then made a few finger signals at lightning speed.
A hole opened up in the floor from which a staircase led into a dark cellar.

He was amazed, then went down the stairs with the man.
A huge laboratory awaited him downstairs. When he saw this, his jaw almost dropped.
He looked around and then asked the man where he could get the documents now.
The old man pointed to a girl - the only one in this lab to be precise - and then said she had the information he was looking for.

So he went up to this girl and watched her briefly as she stared intently at the PC and juggled some numbers.
"Um ... excuse me," he started after a few minutes.
"Shiho.", She said shortly, "You must be Shino Aburame."
"Uh ... yes." He stuttered uncertainly. He was amazed that she knew so well.

The Aburame looked her in the eye and smiled slightly.
"Well then you definitely want to have the documents on the high-performance light chromatography of the last drug series 22934 with samples 1 to 103.", she then said.
He only nodded briefly, whereupon Shiho started rummaging around to look for the documents.

Why is such a beauty trapped down here, he thought secretly.
He stared at her behind his glasses and didn't even notice what she was saying to him.
When she shook him gently, he finally came to his senses again."Ohh ... sorry ... I was just dreaming ..." he mumbled understandably.
"It's okay. Here are the documents you were looking for. Here you go," she handed him a huge pile of stapled sheets of paper with a cold look.
For years she hadn't smiled - not even a small one - from her lips.

Shino looked at her a little horrified - he had never seen anything like it before.
He accepted the stack with a "thank you" and then asked her if she would like to have tea together.
Shiho then only said that she couldn't leave here because she still had a lot to do.
The "bug man" sighed briefly and moved to the exit.

He stood in front of the little hut and stared at it.
Why was she so cold?
She's so pretty.
She certainly hasn't laughed heartily in a long time - or at least smiled a little.

He sighed again, then turned and ran back to the Hoker residence.
On his way he thought all the time about meeting the beautiful Shiho.
After a few minutes he was finally standing in front of the residence.
He went in and knocked at Tsunade's office door.
An annoyed "Come in!" rang out, he opened the door, stepped in and closed it again behind him.
Now he went to the Hokage with the documents and put the pile on her desk.
"Mission accomplished ..." she threw at his head.

Shino stood across from her for a few minutes and thought until Tsunade started to smile and asked him if there was anything else important.
He nodded and then said resolutely, "The girl in that research lab, Shiho, is never happy down there. Can I take her out there for a day or two?"
Tsunade thought about it and then realized something: "You fell in love with her, didn't you?"
The Hokage grinned nastily as she saw Shino's gaze directed towards the ground.
"Hmmm ... well ... you can take her off her job down there for three days.
Tell her she's on vacation.
She will then look at you crookedly.
Just tell her she has nothing to do right now.
She will go with you.
But tell her that she can trust you and that you will take her to a hotel or to your home and she will sleep there in a bed.
She'll be a little scared.
Then just tell her this is an instruction from the Hokagen.
She will endure it.
Roger that?
And please give her sunglasses and sunscreen.
She will take it puzzled.
So ... that's it ... do all of this to be sure that she will be fine too. ", Tsunade explained to him in detail.

"But ... why sunglasses and cream?", He didn't really understand why he should do that.
"Because her skin is not used to the daylight and you only protect it with it.", She said then.
He nodded and then grinned happily to himself, because he was looking forward to seeing them again.
