"Wake up Shika!" Why did I have to end up with the most troublesome girl on my team? Kami, what could I have done in a previous life to deserve this torture? "Let me sleep you troublesome woman, it's too early." You would think that after sharing basically my whole life alongside this blonde boisterous woman I would have learned what my words would lead too, but unfortunately I never seem to learn. "I said get up you lazy bastard!" As my blankets were brutally pulled off me, the only thing I could think of was "Some genius I turned out to be." I was pulled out of my thoughts by a blood curdling scream coming from Ino and quickly grabbed the kunai under my pillow to attack whatever had scared her. Surely it must have been something serious I thought as I kept blinking my and rubbing at my eyes with my free hand, I had only heard her let out a blood curdling scream before during a mission and it was because she recognized our opponent as an S class criminal responsible for the deaths of over 50 shinobis. Kunais were soon flying at me before I could properly clear out my eyes from the remnants of sleep. I managed to block out the kunais before I remembered about Ino. At this point I forced my eyes to focus, even though they were still partially held closed by some remnants of my relaxing sleep, only to discover that Ino was busy summoning more weapons to launch at me. "Woman! What is wrong with you!? I doubt me refusing to wake up was reason enough to attack me!" Before Ino could give me an answer, my bedroom door swung open to reveal my mother in all her infuriated glory.

"What is going on here! You better start explaining this (she pointed at the room and did an up and down sweeping motion at me twice) quickly SHIKAMARU NARA!" Of course the first thing my mother would do would be to run to Ino before her own son. "Ino are you okay, I heard you scream all the way from the deer farm and ran here as fast as I could." Almost as if a switch had been flipped to on I remembered that I hadn't put on pajamas before going to bed and had fallen asleep in only my boxers. "Geesh troublesome woman. I was awoken by OUR favorite little princess' piercing screech and then she started attacking me before I even had a clue of what was going on." "Ino. Sweetie. Why did you attack Shikamaru?" Ino then blushed even darker than she already was, wait, why was she already blushing, and why didn't I notice this before, and hid her face against my mother's chest. My mother then walked with Ino, who still had her face buried into her chest, out of my room and down the stairs.

"Shikamaru! Put on some pants and get down here to eat the breakfast Ino made, you ungrateful child." I quickly put on some clothes and went down to the kitchen. So it was true, Ino had actually made breakfast, it was pretty clear that this wasn't my mother's cooking because the pancakes were not burnt. I was about to make a comment about the breakfast when I was interrupted by a knock on the door.
