They had always known Kankuro would die first.

Things between Shino and Kiba are always....hard. Edging on to something they are never ready for whether it be romantically or just as friends. Warnings: sometimes yaoi, sometimes not

Kiba visits Kankuro after Sasori trashes his puppets and tries to console him, but not quite in the way Kankuro might have expected. This is a guy-on-guy pairing KibaXKanky , so if you do not like such things, leave now.

Shino has the perfect plan, he will kill Kiba who has committed the ultimate crime against him. With some forced assistance from Hinata, the plan might just work.

My version of some events that happened after the chunin exams. Rated at T because a certain Sand shinobi has a potty mouth, jaan. These characters are not mine, I just borrowed them for a little bit.

Shino was never one to show emotion and he wasn't about to start now, but why was it that the one person he wanted more then anything wouldn't even look at him? And what was worse, his best friend was dating the man he wanted. Rating may go up.

Kakuzu is a slave to bargains, Hidan likes the spice of variety, and a dingy little restaurant provides a quaint intermediate between the two. Crackfic.

If he turns up on my doorstep on White Day, he's a dead man... ShinoKiba, AsumaKurenai. Oneshot.

A great chessplayer is not a great man, for he leaves the world as he found it.' [Shikacentric]

[ShinoHinaKiba] A collection of fics written for the thirtyforthree community on livejournal. Stories vary from G to M. Standard disclaimers apply.

Based on: An Outlaw For Christmas, by Lori Handeland. AU. ShinoKiba.

The English dub was already notorious for turning Naruto's 'dattebayo' into 'believe it'. Will Deidara's 'un' get away safely? Not a chance! Then again, some characters have it worse... [Spoilers ONLY for Akatsuki members' names. Crack!fic, oneshot.]

He wanted to taste her lipgloss again. ShinoHina oneshot.

AU. What if Daxter's dip in the Dark Eco had turned him into something else? Eventual het, slash, all that good stuff. Chapter 16 now up, sorry for the wait

If Hidan ever found himself capable, he was totally going to sacrifice the Leader to his God for making him dance. Crackfic!

Shino never was any good with pick up lines.

It only took fifty nine moves for checkmate.

Sound stories, not necessarily canon. Not necessarily good. Not necessarily anything.

Zaku, Kidoumaru, and painful lessons about the spidery psyche, with commentary from the Sound's peanut gallery. Questionable gender, cursing, and slightly confused shounenai if you squint.
