It all started when they were in 6th grade, All four of them were sitting in the Hokage's office, along with Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba and Gaara.
"I assume you all know WHY you are here, but in case you do not, I will explain. Ayana and Shikamaru, you saran wrapped Sakura to a pole." The Hokage says, glaring at Ayana and then Shikamaru. Who snorts. Ayana giggles silently. "Anoka and Naruto, Naruto for cheating on the exam, and Anoka for LETTING him." The Hokage continues, going down the line of children. Naruto hangs his head, and Anoka rolls her eyes. "Kayame, Taini and Kiba for other obscene graffiti around town." The Hokage continues. Kayame and Taini are trying not to laugh, and Kiba is smiling innocently. "And Gaara. Trying to hack into the school system, and pass everyone." The Hokage says, shaking his head in disappointment. Gaara stares ominously at the Hokage. "Frankly, I am tired of discipline. I have decided to give all eight of you an hour of detention today after school." The Hokage says.
"WHAT!" Kayame shouts.
"On a FRIDAY!" Taini shouts.
"But...but I didn't even DO anything!" Anoka shouts, outraged.
"I don't care. Come with me. We'll pick up your last hours homework, and you will serve detention in room 201 with Iruka." The Hokage says, motioning toward the door. There's a collective groan amongst the 6th graders. "It's no use groaning. You're not going to change anything." The Hokage says. They all sigh, and reluctantly follow the Hokage to room 201. On the way there, Naruto leans in close to Anoka.
"Noka? Noka, I'm really sorry." Naruto says, sounding sad.
"It's okay." Anoka says, sighing.
"You didn't have to do that; you could have just let me fail." Naruto says in a guilty voice.
"I wanted to." Anoka says, turning to him with a smile.
"Let me fail?" Naruto asks, looking confused.
"No...! Help you. But...we're both gonna fail now anyway." Anoka says, shaking her head.
"Yeah..." Naruto says as an anime sweat falls down the side of his head. They reach room 201, and Anoka gives Naruto's hand a little squeeze. He blushes as he gets a tingle up his arm.
"I'm not mad at you." Anoka says, smiling.
"T...thanks, Noka." Naruto says in a happy voice.
"No TALKING! Take a seat AT LEAST two desks away from the nearest person." The Hokage says, motioning toward the desks. Everyone sits down as the Hokage leaves, and Iruka appears.
"One hour." Iruka says, checking his watch. "Okay, I will allow you to work, but no talking, no i-pods, cell phones, food, drinks, etc. If you need to use the bathroom, the pass is on the wall." Iruka says, motioning to the wall with a pass hanging off it. He sits down in his chair. "Enjoy." Iruka says, waving a hand at them. Anoka rolls her eyes again, and smiles at Naruto. He smiles back as they settle themselves for an hour of detention.
An hour passes, and they're walking out of the classroom.
"Finally! I'm going to go to the ramen shop. I'm starving! Anyone want to come with me?" Kayame asks.
"Me!" Naruto shouts, raising his hand.
"I'll come." Anoka says, shrugging.
"Me too." Ayana says, smiling.
"Count me in!" Taini says.
"Sounds good to me." Kiba says.
"Okay." Gaara says in a bored voice. So they all pile into the ramen shop.
"Chicken Ramen!" Kayame and Kiba say.
"Veggie Ramen." Anoka says, smiling.
"Beef!" Shikamaru and Naruto say.
"Shrimp..." Ayana and Gaara say in a bored voice.
"Um...plain." Taini says, feeling kind of silly. They all chat, and eat their ramen.
"Well...I'm gonna head back to my dorm and do my...homework." Anoka says as she gets up from her seat. Everyone else get up as well, and start walking back toward the academy, but Naruto grabs Anoka's hand to stop her. "Naruto...?" Anoka asks, looking at him in confusion. Everyone else has long since left by now.
"Anoka...will you...be my girlfriend?" Naruto asks, blushing like crazy. Anoka's eyes widen. Then she smiles, and takes his hand.
"Of course I will, Naruto!" Anoka says, smiling happily. A smile creeps onto Naruto's face, and they walk back to the academy together.
