kitchen,finding his three roommates preparing themselves for school. The first of his roomates, Uzumaki Naruto stood at the stove and shuffled cornflakes into his mouth. Naruto looked up as Shikamaru sat down on the last and first step on the stairs and pulled his shoes on. "God morning!", Naruto greated him, only got a wave back. His other roomate, Sai who was sitting at the breakfursttable and drank his tea, also looked up. He looked at Naruto. "It's called 'Good' morning", he said and turned to Shikamaru. "So where were you last night?"
Shikamaru didn't awnser as he got up from the stairstep. A laugh came from the sofa and Inizuka Kiba sat himself up.
"We all know where you've been!", Kiba grined at him. "With a girl-" SMACK. Shikamaru had thrown his bag right up Kibas face. "You know nothing about a shit", Shikamaru replied as Kiba yelled out a "hey!".
"Don't fight", Sai said and walked towards his bag and shoes. "Are we going yet?"
"Coming!", Naruto grined and jumped right into his sneakers, followed by Kiba. Suddenly someone knocked on their door and Shikamaru opened. "Hi", hi said as a brownhaired girl in schooluniform stepped in. "Good morning, guys!", she said. "Yo, Tenten!", Kiba said and put up his hand. Tenten was a one year older girl who lived right across the hallway with her two roomies Huyga Neji and Rock Lee. The three of them went one class over the four guys, and they were good friends.
"Whats up?", Naruto asked and foxed his eyes. "Aren't you going to school?"
"I was wonder if I could ride with you", she said. "Neji and Lee had to be there early and they took the car...
well, Nejis car. I guess they depended on that I could tag along with you!"
"Well, we have room for one more", Sai said and went out to the hallway. "Thank you!", Tenten smiled and followed Sai down the stairhouse, followed by the rest. They got out to the car that Shikamarus and Kibas parents had bought for the two of them together, but Sai was the one that sat himself down behind the wheel. Sai enjoyed driving and Shikamru thought it was to troblesome.
There was no way in hell that he would let Kiba behind the wheel. He had too many horrible memories of when Kiba was driving.
One of them contained a Father Christmas-actor outside a shoppingmall. And Naruto got his license pulled in after an argument with the police. They all sat down in the car and they drove away to shool.
Their school, Fireleaf High where famous for two things. One - They had the striktest and toughest principal in the whole country. Two - It was the only school who was able to really countrol the students. They thought. The four guys and Tenten parked the car and then went in to the school. Tenten waved them of on the first floor, running after her class. The guys classroom was on the third floor, so they went there. The second they got up they heard the other classmates and one of them walked towards them. It was a blond girl with skyblue eyes and miniskirt. Her hair was tight in a high-sitting ponytail that jumped around on her back as she walked. "Shikamaru!", she said striktly. "Where were you last night? I called you like a hundered of times! You could at least answer!"
Shikamaru sighted. "It's to troublesome!", he said, irritated. "Ino."
Ino crossed her arms. The fact that Yamanaka Ino's parents and his own dad tried to match the two of them up together with each other,
was a fact Shikamaru didn't like. Ino was to troublesome for him. he just found her irretating and loud. Naruto, Sai and Kiba walked pass him to the gang. Shikamaru was just going to confirm himself as a lost case, when a dark haired girl pushed Ino out of his path.
"Out of the way, Bitch!", the girl said. "Give him some space!"
Ino was furious. "What the hell, Ai?", she screemed. Nara Ai grined and turned to Shikamaru. "Whuz up, cousin?"
"troublesome", he awnsered his fathers late brothers daughter. "You're the one to whine", she said and walked forward with him. "Uncle bought you a car and is paying a fourth of the rent!"
Shikamaru sighted again. "We've been threw this a million times..."
"Yeah, yeah!", Ai waved with her hand. "Whatever, I know!"
Kiba came over to them. "Ai, come on i dared Naruto to take Chojis chips from him!"
"Oh my god!", Ai laughed. "Chojis gonna kill him!"
"Exactly!", Kiba grined and took her hand as the run off. "Kiba!", Shikamaru yelled after them. "Stay away from my cousin!" No respond. He sighted once again and went over to Naruto and sai that was talking to their friends. He stood there for a while, pretended to pay attention to what they said. Suddenly one of the girls,
a bluehaired, whiteeyed, shy person laid a hand on his upper arm. "Shikamaru-kun", she said. "Are you okay? You look strange..."
"Really?", Shikamaru said, suddenly waking up from his daydream. "Yeah", a pink haired girl pulled in. "You look kinda pale."
The bluehaired Huyga Hinata (Nejis cousin) and the pinkhaired Haruno Sakura looked at eachother. "Maybe it's a cold!", Hinata said to Sakura. Sakura nodded. "Shikamaru have to drink alot of tea and wear alot of warm clothes!"
Sai turned to Shikamaru. "I guess you're the third wheel.", he said and smiled.
"How troublesome", Shikamaru said, as their teacher showed up and let them into the classroom. They've just sat down at their regular desks, when Shika realised that it wasn't Kakashi-sensei who was standing in the front.
It was Iruka-sensei, who had been their homeroom teacher in 6th grade. "Kakashi-senpai is late", he said to the class. "So he asked me to start up for him."
"No surprise there", Sakura whispered to Ino who sat next to her. "So", Iruka continued. "We're gonna start by changing seats! So everybody grab your desk and-"
The class rose and grab their desks, starting to change places. "W-wait!", Iruka said, following Shikamaru with his sight. "Don't let him sit by the-"
Shikamaru was fast and bamed his desk down at the biggest window in the room. He looked at Iruka with a "Haha, Shame on you"-look and Iruka sighted. "Very well...", he said and watched over the classroom. Kiba sat behind Shikamaru and Hinata next to Shikamaru in the front row, no problems there. Sakura moved one step forward, next to Sai, Ino sat behind her and Choji on her left, with Shino on her right. Ai sat herself next to Kiba and gave Shikamaru a grin. "Naruto!", Iruka said to the blond guy who just where about to sit his ass down next to Sakura. "I want you in the front so I can see what mistcheaf you're up to!"
Naruto moaned and put his desk next to Hinata. "Well", he said to her. "I guess it's you and me then!"
That resulted in that Hinata got her face red like a tomato and passed out on her desk. As everyone was trying to get Hinata back to consciousness, Iruka went over to Shikamaru.
"Hey", he said. "You have to go out on the frontyard. You're chosen as a guide!"
"What?", Shikamaru said and yawned. "For what? How troublesome..."
Not energic enough to argument, he walked right out of the classroom and down to the entrence. There, he spotted half the teachersquad with the principal in the front. They were waiting for something.
