A/N Okay! Here is my first fic, I hope you enjoy it! It is a Choji/OC story using Shikamaru's sister as my OC. I got the idea stuck in my head after I saw the episode before the final part of the chunin exam where Shikaku tells Inoichi that it is a real drag raising a daughter. So, my character was born!

Akimichi Choji was happy.

Two weeks ago, he would have been sitting at his family's compound, watching butterflies and eating his favorite chips by himself, with no one to play with. Now, he was sitting on a bench on top of a building with one of his first and best friend, watching clouds and eating chips together.

To Choji, this was the life.

His new friend, Shikamaru, didn't expect much from him and they were both content to sit in silence and contemplate the skies, commenting every so often on the shape of a certain cloud and munching on the variety of snacks that Choji had brought along.

For the two ten-year olds, life couldn't be better.

Soon however, evening began to set in and the once blue sky began to turn tints of orange as the setting sun began its descent into the horizon.

Shikamaru sighed, "Man what a drag, the sky is getting darker and its not even," he glanced at the watch his mother had forced upon him, "not even six yet."

Choji nodded in agreement. "Yeah, the days are becoming shorter so quickly to me." He began to put away the bags of junk food back into the pack he had brought with him.

" Shikamaru, want to meet again tomorrow after academy class? My dad got these new chips from a friend of his that hasn't even been put in stores. He wants us to taste-test them." He looked at the other boy hopefully.

The darker haired boy grinned up at him, "Sounds good to me."

At that moment loud footsteps could be heard from the stairs leading up to the rooftop and soon after, a young girl was at the top of the stairs, huffing slightly from her speedy ascent.

Catching sight of the two boys, the she began to walk towards them, her eyes narrowing, and the ends of her mouth turning into a frown.

She stopped in front of Shikamaru, placing her hands squarely on her hips as she began tapping her foot impatiently, her two spiky pigtails bounced in rhythm with her tapping.

When Shikamaru didn't look up, she became irritated, " Shikamaru!" she huffed loudly.

The lazy boy continued to ignore her, his eyes shut, feigning sleep.

The tempo of her tapping increased as the seconds ticked by and he still didn't look up to her.

"Shikamaru," she said even louder.

When he still did not answer she grabbed him by the shoulders with the strength of no normal eight-year old and began to shake the boy.

"SHIKAMARU YOU LAZY IDIOT! LOOK AT ME!" she shouted at him.

Finally he opened his eyes and looked at the enraged girl with indifference.

"What do you want Yoshiko?" he drawled out lazily.

The little girl huffed angrily and set the boy down. Her hands resumed their former position on her hips.

"Oka-san wanted you home half-an hour ago! She gave you the watch for a reason!" she said indignantly.

Shikamaru looked at her questioningly, "What reason?"

"So you wouldn't be late baka!" she shouted at him.

Choji was bewildered. He had never seen a girl behave that way to Shikamaru, except for Ino, but he thought she was like that because he didn't bow down before Uchiha Sasuke in admiration.

His friend however was taking the ranting girl in stride and, judging by the glazed look in his eyes, was not even listening to anything that she was saying,

When Yoshiko paused in the middle of her rampage, it was to turn her head and look at Choji.

"You must be Akimichi Choji. Aniki has told me a little bit about you." She smiled sweetly at him, her expression genuine.

The chubby boy was startled at her sudden mood change and the first thing that popped out of his mouth was not a reply greeting but, "Aniki?"

The little girl nodded. "This lazy lump is my brother," she said gesturing to the other boy with her thumb.

Said lump sat up and sighed, rubbing his shoulder, "Akimichi Choji," he said in a bored voice, "Nara Yoshiko, Nara Yoshiko, Akimichi Choji. Yoshiko is my troublesome little sister."

She rolled her eyes at him, "Troublesome big brother." She muttered.

Choji had to grin at the similarities of the two siblings. Both had dark, spiky hair and olive skin along with almond, brown eyes. Both wore their hair bound, Shikamaru's in a ponytail on top of his head and Yoshiko with her hair in two pigtails on the lower part of hers.

All though, he thought with a small shake of his head, they have two different personalities.

Yoshiko turned to her brother once again. "By the way nii-san, did you ask Choji about dinner?"

At the word of 'dinner' Choji's ears perked up. He had heard of and even had tasted Shikamaru's mother's cooking when Shikamaru shared his bento box and he had to say that it was some of the best food he had ever tasted.

Shikamaru looked up thoughtfully, "Hmm...Did I?"

Yoshiko sighed, "I knew it," she muttered to herself and turned to Choji once again. "Otou-san had invited you and your dad over for dinner tomorrow night, around six. Can you come?"

Choji nodded, " I think so, chichue didn't say we had any plans for tomorrow so, yes."

Yoshiko beamed, "Great! I'll tell oka-san," she leaned in to him as if confiding a secret, "she makes the best barbequed pork." She said with a grin.

That, if anything, motivated Choji even more to make sure that he and his father would be at the Nara household the next night.

"Well, ja ne, my brother and I have to go home now. Come on aniki." She said tugging on the older boy's arm.

With a sigh, Shikamaru rose, standing a good head taller than his sister.

He nodded at Choji, " See ya tomorrow Choji."

"Yeah, sayonara Shikamaru, Yoshiko-san."

The little girl flapped a hand at him, "Not so formal Choji-kun. Yoshiko-chan is fine with me."

"Sure," said Choji with a smile ,which Yoshiko returned.

With a last goodbye and a wave, the two Nara siblings headed down the stairs, Shikamaru grumbling about the troublesome women in his life. Choji heard an answering retort of "troublesome men" from Yoshiko's higher pitched voice.

The young boy shook his head once again in amusement and started off towards his home.

Yes, things were definitely a lot better now.
