Ok, Ok, I know it seems like I abandoned this fic…(which I kinda did…::looks away embarrassed::) but, I was just so hesitant to touch it cause it was my first baby and all that…but anyhoo, revising is now underway and I am finally, finally, updating. Thanks for all of you that stuck by me. You rock, thanks for the criticism, the praise, and over all just thanks for even peeking at it. I know there've been many a format error—apparently even in the title…it seems does not allow for question marks to go before exclamation marks anymore…::sighs:: but onward none the less!

Disclaimer: Seriously…If I owned this fandom, I would be so rich by now…::looks over at the sheer amount of merchandise::…so very rich

You what?

Naruto yawned as the sun's rays stung his sensitive eyes. He briefly wondered if maybe just maybe he could get away with spending the whole day in the bed.

Then he remembered last week when he attempted it, his arms were still sore from the memories of only being able to use his hands to move, and walking on his hands never was fun.

With a forlorn sigh, he left the comfort of his bed and took a shower, being careful as to use cold water since last time he had fallen asleep with the hot water on and woke up to his apartment being flooded. After dressing, he ate some leftovers from last night, and made his lunch. He whistled a little ditty as he locked up his apartment door and made his way to the training fields.

Then stopped when he realized he forgot his headband.

Without a break in attitude he spun on his heel and went to one of his most prized posessions. Finally, fifteen minutes later, he was on his way to the training field for rendouvous with his team and his usually tardy teacher.

It was going to be normal day...

...or so he thought.

"Naruto!" Naruto turned to see Shikamaru walking towards him.

"Oi Shikamaru," Naruto replied back, giving him a roguish grin, "feel like paying me back the ramen you owe me?"

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?" Shikamaru returned, cocking an eyebrow.

Naruto was about to reply when he heard it.

Shikamaru paused too.

It was faint and growing louder:

"AHHHHHHHHH! HELP ME!" A voice boomed. Naruto looked around. He could sense someone's chakra…it was so strong…yet so familiar…

"Where is it coming from?" He demanded, turning his head every which way to try and see where it originated from.

"Naruto, open your arms and be prepared to catch something!" Shikamaru commanded suddenly, peering up into the sky.

"Like wha-umph!"

Naruto fell as he caught a moving bundle in his arms. It was silent as the bundle moved and looked up at Shikamaru and Naruto.

"A girl!"

Shikamaru and Naruto stared as the girl tilted her head and then widened her eyes. The girl stood up and dusted herself off. She had raven colored hair in pigtails and baby blue eyes with whisker markings on her cheeks. Also she had a cute pale black hat with little ears and a plain black dress with a skirt that ended at her knees. There was a tear earring in her left ear and a skull earring in her right ear. She was wearing high heeled boots that had also been digging into Naruto's legs until she had gotten up. And most importantly, she looked oddly familiar...

"Papa!" she trilled and tackled Naruto some more.

"Papa?" both repeated, eyes still wide.

The girl was crushing Naruto into a bear hug, totally oblivious as they continued to gape at her.

"Oh Papa! Remember? It's me! Nami!" Nami explained, then let go, looking like she was going to cry, "you, you, don't remember me?"

Both boys exchanged glances…she wasn't going to—

"Waaahh! Papa doesn't remember me!!!"

Yup…girls…

After letting her cry for a few more minutes, Shikamaru graced Naruto with a slightly bemused/slightly curious look.

Naruto returned to him a I-have-no-idea-what-the-hell-is-going-on look.

"You can't be his daughter," Shikamaru muttered crossing his arms as he considered the possibilities , "She's our age though…" he noted her current distress, "well she looks like it at any rate…"

"But, but, I'm only five! Wahh!" The girl argued, noting Shikamaru's comments, of course, while she was doing this she had been slowly squeezing Naruto till he was turning a slightly peachish shade of purple.

Oddly enough, Shikamaru frowned as he continued to think the problem over, seemingly undettered by Naruto's lack of oxygen…at least until—

"What did you do that poor girl, Naruto?" Sakura interrogated, as she, Ino, and Sasuke happened to walk by at the exact moment.

"This girl is crazy!" Naruto pleaded, losing air, "she thinks I'm her dad!"

"And you actually believe her?" Sasuke let out a derisive snort, "idiot."

Nami abruptly let go and ran towards the new arrivals.

"Mama!" she cried, eyes sparkling and arms wide open.

Naruto looked up, secretly hoping that she would glomp Sakura next.

Unfortunately he had no such luck, for instead she had now currently held Sasuke in her death grip.

"Mama! You're ok!" she stated as everyone stared.

It was Sakura who spoke first:

"She's hugging MY Sasuke!"

"Our Sasuke," Ino added, glaring at Nami.

At the challenge, Nami let Sasuke go and as he gasped for air she scowled at them.

"He's Papa's Mama, not yours!" she replied, all-knowingly as if informing them that it most obvious thing in the world

Naruto blushed at the thought of Sasuke in a apron greeting him hit him un-expectedly. Before he could even picture him and Sasuke getting married, he realized Kakashi's face was almost touching his.

"Gaah! When did you get here?" he screeched, backing away frantically.

"Lovely daughter you and Sasuke have, congrats." Iruka replied appearing beside Kakashi.

"How long have you two been watching?" Naruto growled suspiciously, he had a really bad inkling they'd been there the whole time and he and Shikamaru never noticed. Speaking of which…

"Shikamaru, this girl is related to Naruto," Kakashi informed, causing the other to arch a brow idly , "just probably not what she thinks, or maybe..."

Nami, who was still arguing with Sakura and Ino, was once again oblivious to their scrutiny.

"In any case, today's lesson is cancelled…actually…" Kakashi looked thoughtful, "Naruto, you and Sasuke bring this girl to me later. We may be able to test if she's really your child, and if so, why is she here?"

They all grew silent and it was then that Naruto and Sasuke realized what he said:

"WHY DO I HAVE TO LOOK AFTER HER WITH THAT PRETTY BOY?"

Ok, so nothing really major. Spaced some phrases, added in a couple phrases, made sure to clarify some things. Just rudimentary stuff…well, now I have to actually attempt homework…so see ya'lls later!
