Chapter One

Rude awakening

"Shikamaru get your lazy ass up for breakfast" came an angry voice from the kitchen. Shikamaru rolled over and took a good look at his alarm clock. It read 6:01 a.m. He yawned and noticed his father leaning against his bedroom door. He smirked at Shikamaru guessing what he was about to say.

"Why did you marry that crazy woman" Shikamaru asked as he sat up in bed rubbing his eyes. "Who even needs to be up this early?"

"She has her moments" he said as he walked out the door "Now hurry up."

Shikamaru stretched and yawned again. He dragged himself out of bed and lazily walked over to his closet. He got out his usual outfit; chuunin vest, black net shirt with green out line, and black pants with a lot of pockets.

XxxxxxxX

"Where is that boy of ours? Breakfast is cold. He needs to learn to pick up the pace and get his ass down here on time" yelled Shikamaru's mother loud enough so every one on the street could hear her clearly.

"Do you really have to talk that loud mom?" asked Shikamaru as he walked lazily into the kitchen with a finger in each ear.

"You're late again. Now hurry up! Sit down so we can eat" Shikamaru's big sister Nomi yelled.

Why do I go though this every morning? First mom wakes me up really early. Then sister yells at me for being late. I guess I'll never understand women. Shikamaru sighed and kneeled down to the table.

"Having a bad morning" asked Shikamaru's father smiling.

Nomi was six years older than her brother who was 16. She was probably just as smart and just as lazy as he was. She was about 5' 6", but the heals she always wore made her much taller looking. Nomi was wearing her ambu outfit and had the mask on top of the head so she could eat. She had long black hair that would probably go down to her waist if she didn't have it up in a bun. For being a Nara she was really pretty. She must have gotten that from their mother. Nomi always had a smile on her face even when she was mad. This bothered most people.

XxxxxxxX

There was a knock on the door and Shikamaru's father went to answer it. "Nomi your boyfriend is here" they heard him say in a confused voice from the main hallway. Nomi blushed and glanced at her brother who had a surprised look on his face and her mother who hadn't even looked up.

"Hmm I didn't know you had a boyfriend sis" Shikamaru said looking at his sister very confused. Her face was blood red.

Then the kitchen door opened and their father walked in followed by Umino, Iruka. Iruka was holding a vase of flowers and smiling at Nomi. "Iruka sensei is your boyfriend" Shikamaru said looking at his sister now in disbelief.

"Y-yes h-he is" she said looking at her mother to see what she thought about this.

This is all going horribly wrong. Why is he here I thought he understood that I hadn't told my family about him yet. What is mother thinking? She hasn't said a word. She hasn't even looked away from her food. Is she not surprised that I have a boyfriend.

"I was getting ready to tell you that I have a boyfriend" She said her blush slowly starting to fade away.

"I guess I showed up at the wrong time" Iruka said scratching the back of his head. He walked around the table to wear Nomi was sitting and handed her the flowers. "Happy Valentines Day Nomi"

XxxxxxxX

Shikamaru was walking down a busy street on his way to work at the academy. He was thinking about what had happened in his kitchen that morning and why his sister was so shy about this whole boyfriend stuff.

Wait what am I thinking I wouldn't have told them about my relationship either if I ever have one. He sighed.

An Anbu member suddenly dropped in front of him, but he was so used to this that he didn't even take a notice in him until he pulled out a mission scroll marked s rank.

I knew today would be a drag

Before the ninja left he said "Hokage Tsunade sama would like to see you before you leave on the mission." Then he disappeared in a puff of smoke. He put the scroll in a pocket not even reading it and put his hands in the front pockets of his pants. Then he felt two arms rap around him from behind and a voice he recognized too well said "OH Yeah! Your going on the mission too! Aren't you so exsited? I am."

He took his hand out of his pockets, removed her arms from his neck, and turned around to face Ino, but to his surprise Naruto, Hinata, Choji, Shino, Sakura, and Sasuke were also standing behind him.

Maybe this whole mission thing won't be that bad after all.

XxxxxxxX

In the Hokage's office stood two Anbu guards and a very pissed Tsunade. "Where are those lazy ass kids. They should be here by now. This is a very important mission" She was screaming and throwing things every where the guards had to duck many time as things such as chairs, lamps and mail openers were thrown not at them on purpose but in their direction.

As the eight teens walked towards the Hokage tower they heard her screaming so they decided they better run before she came out to look for them.

Oh no I am about to get my ass chewed out by a woman for the third time today. Shikamaru sighed and told the others to pick up the pace.

XxxxxxxX

Tsunade finally calmed down after about ten minutes of screaming at them for being late. All eight of them sweat dropped when she smiled at them. They were standing in front of where her desk should have been if she hadn't tossed it out the window about 15 minutes prier.

"Ex-excuse me T-tsunade Sama but w-why have you c-called us h-here and not K-kiba-kun as well?" Hinata asked in her usual stuttering voice.

"Well he would be here as well but he went on a mission yesterday with his big sister." Tsunade Sama said smiling sweetly at Hinata.

"What is this dumb mission about anyway" asked Shikamaru in his laziest voice.

"What none of you have even read the mission scrolls yet? Why do you think I write them? For my health" Tsunade Sama yelled. All eight teens sweat dropped and pulled out their s-ranked mission scrolls as quickly as possible.

Shikamaru untied the black ribbon and watched it drop to the floor. Then he slowly opened up the scroll and read it to himself.

Mission Details:

Information: Hidden Sound Nin attacking Sunagakure

Retrieve: Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara of the desert

Mission by Fifth Hokage Tsunade Sama

"Any questions" Tsunade asked glancing at each of them. I hope none of them have any questions.

"Oh, oh Granny Tsunade I have a really important question" said Naruto waving his hand and the scroll franticly.

Tsunade sighed and said "What is it Naruto? I thought I told you to stop calling me granny.

Naruto smiled his usual great smile and said pointing to part of the mission scroll "What does asap mean?" Every one in the room sweat dropped even Tsunade's pet pig.

"Naruto you really are clueless aren't you" yelled Sakura hitting him on the head with her rolled up scroll.

"It is A-S-A-P not asap you dumb ass" added Ino.

"Naruto, you're a loser" Sasuke said in his dry apathetic voice.

"Sasuke, you're so cool" Ino said admiring Sasuke.

"I-it's ok N-naruto kun that's wh-what I thought at f-first too" said Hinata.

Not really, but I'll just let him think that to make him feel better. Hinata blushed dark purple.

Naruto looked at Hinata with a very puzzled expression.

"Ok, ok Get the hell out of my office and you have one hour to get all your supplies needed and meet me at the Western gate. If you're late I'll kill you!" Tsunade said with a sick smile on her face. Two seconds later there was no one left in the office but her, her pig, and two scared looking guards cleaning up after her tantrum.
