BETA READER: None; so there will be errors that I miss.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I apologize for the late update. I would have update sooner in the week, but a family emergency came up and everything was placed on hold. Here is an omake to make up for the wait and the next chapter should be finished today and posted by tonight.

~oOo~OMAKE START~oOo~

IT'S A PHOBIA

Tired.

Sore.

Plain exhausted.

Lids fluttered close over cerulean orbs, giving in to the body's need for rest despite the annoyingly hard surface of the training ground. Water lapped at the edges of the river bed and the sound of a bird chirping every so often was the only sound heard before the sweat and dirt covered blonde fell into a light slumber.

Twitch.

Something brushed against the blonde's nose, causing a tickling sensation and another twitch.

Shuffle.

Quiver.

A sweeping of soft material against the blonde's cheek had cerulean pools appearing, blinking up at the dimming sky. How long has he been asleep? Dusk was approaching already.

Buzz. Skitter.

Twitch.

Cerulean orbs widened at the tickling feeling moving across a suddenly pale cheek. Lifting a hand to quickly swipe the strange sensation away, another hand latched onto the blonde's wrist and halted its movement.

"Uzumaki-kun, please to do not kill my beetle. Why you ask? Because then I would be sad."

Cerulean mirrored against dark reflective shades that covered the eyes of one Shino Aburame, the one who, unknown to the blonde, was sitting beside him.

"Uh…"

Speechless, Naruto's eyes zeroed in on a tiny movement trailing down his bare arm to venture underneath the long sleeved jacket Shino sported. The blonde gulped. Shino's fingers still latched around Naruto's wrist. Mocha orbs blinked, watching in slight surprise as cerulean pools rolled to the back of the blonde's head and Naruto promptly fainted.

"A-ah! Na—Naru—to-kun!" A startled Hinata Hyuga stuttered, her pale lavender orbs wide at the sight of her crush fainting.

Her presence had gone unnoticed along with Kiba Inuzuka's and Akamaru, because Shino's action had captured the blonde's full attention.

"Wow. Who knew the knucklehead was freaked out by bugs." Kiba laughed, giving the blonde a poke in the cheek.

A/N: Hello, Everyone!

I received everyone's vote on whether or not Itachi should live. This decision is the only spoiler you readers should know by now, as I take the majority rule for any decision making concerning this story. This chapter coming up will be a little long than the others, because I feel that splitting it in half is not something I should do with the events happening. I hope you all enjoyed reading this omake and I hope you all continue to enjoy this story.
