Author's note: Hi...this is my first fanfic ever....

I'm probably going to make this a series... I 'm very bad ...very bad at summaries. The story rules it all!


Konoha, being the largest of all the nations, was selected to house Konoha High. All the young ninjas in their teen years had to go to that high school...With the latest inventions over the past few years, the scene has dramatically changed. Konoha's streets--from bunches of wires and rag-tag homes--had become a huge metropolis, ranging from cafes to fancy book stores to high-tech gear...

The only thing that didn't change, however, was the fact that clothing styles were the same.


Yamanaka Ino sadly went in to her first period classroom. There were many faces that she knew, and some that she didn't.

She took her seat and checked off her homework assignments, hoping the teacher wouldn't notice.

"Attention, class!!!" the teacher said as she rapped for order.

Ino mused. Few in the class paid much attention, anyway. Not that they needed it. The teacher was too busy to be paying attention to the students not paying attention. The room was filled with empty-headed people with starry eyes, dreaming about whatever they were dreaming about. Including Ino herself.

First period passed...then second period...

At lunch, she sat alone, in a tiny corner, squeezed in by the huge crowd.

She was glad when the school bell rang. That is, until she remembered the dance.

The dance was a horror, in her opinion. She never bothered to put on makeup. She wouldn't need it, anyway.


Yawning, Ino swung open the door to the ball room.

Blinking at the bright lights, she took a look at all the people in the room.

She saw Naruto dancing with Hinata, Shikamaru with Temari, and Sasuke with Sakura...

Was there no one in this world for her? Had she really been bested by Sakura, for example?

Sitting in a chair, she walked over to get some punch. Well, there might have been no one for her, except him. (A/N: This "him" I'm talking about came from another...well...anime...if you could call it that. I choose to hide his name for the meantime...)

Dejected, Ino walked across the ballroom holding the punch... and ran into him.

"S-sorry..." Ino stammered.

"Nevermind. This suit wasn't really worth that much. I sometimes wonder why I wear it. Thank you for ruining it." He replied. Smiling at her, he walked away.


The next day, It was Ino's turn to buy the vegetables.

Strolling in the marketplace, she failed to sense a male stalking her.

Not some ordinary male... it was him.

"Big brother!" A voice rang out.

Silently, he clamped his little sister's mouth.

Ino suddenly became aware that someone was following her, but she decided to ignore it. Her instinct told her that the stalker was unarmed.


Ino walked to school by herself.

Since she was early, though, she decided to take a little detour. Just across school lay a small mansion. And that mansion was where he was.

Smiling to herself, Ino slid into the bushes.

He opened the door, sniffed the air, and strolled out into plain view. Very relaxed, he walked majestically with his chin up, that is, until he felt a sharp jab from behind him. Startled, he spun around, facing Ino. She winked. Winking back, he walked on toward school.

Thinking to himself, "Nah, girls are more troublesome than you think. Some are worth it, though."


Ino spent none of the entire first period paying attention to the teacher. She was too busy thinking about him.

The teacher yelled, "INO!!! GET UP HERE RIGHT NOW TO THE BOARD!!! I'VE CALLED YOU SEVEN TIMES!!!"


Author's note: End of the first chapter!!! YAY!!! Hope you liked it. Hope you read the next chapter! :P

This chapter was proofread and modified by Kay ex Kay. If you like Eyeshield 21 fanfics, check hers out!

Life really is a drag, isn't it? I didn't mean to create the last scene the way it turned out, but then I just thought it would fit for it to be funny. Never trust your instinct...never!
