She had been patrolling the village gates when they got back from their longstanding mission, Shikamaru leading the small group from Team 8 as they made their journey home. But a shout in greeting was all that could be managed before the stress of traveling began to take its toll and Shino tumbled to the ground from exhaustion, an unconscious Kiba slumping over him as they fell.

Speed was necessary in getting the entire squad to the medical building immediately, and who better for the job than one of Maito Gai's students? Hinata was already being carried by Akamaru and Kiba had Shikamaru's support. That only left Shino for her to care for. And so, slinging an arm over her shoulders, she did her best in carrying the unconscious Aburame towards the hospital where he could be treated.

The many articles of clothing he wore was deceiving at best as she held an arm around his waist for added support, feeling just how lithe he really was under all the layers. Having an idea of the sort of mission they were sent on she could only imagine the things his squad had endured, in the end needing the aid of Shikamaru to get home safely.

Now, stepping quietly out of Hinata's private room, sliding the door close with a soft swish of air, Tenten made her way down the hall. With nothing else left to do in the village, the kunoichi had decided to keep herself busy for the day by visiting her fellow shinobis in the medical wards. Neji would want to know of Hinata's condition and progress. And perhaps the other members of squad 8 would want to know how their teammates were doing...that is, if any of them had managed to regain consciousness by now.

Two stems of flowers in her in hand, she slid open the door to Shino's room and quietly stepped inside, making her way to place one in a vase on the side table. The other would go to Kiba whenever she came into his room next after staying for a moment with Shino. The kunoichi paused a bit, however, finding the sheets pulled up to the shinobi's nose in an odd fashion. None of the other nurses would have done so and any visitors would have known better than to disturb the unconscious young man, which would only mean... "...Shino?"
