Hey first story!!! About time too!!!!!! It took me about three months to get this far! Ok so there may be a bit of OOC-ness in here but that can't be helped at present.. Please read and review! (they make me fuzzy inside!) oh and yes I KNOW THAT ITS SHIKAMARU'S BIRTHDAY THE DAY BEFORE INO'S BUT I'VE DECIDED THAT, FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY, THAT IT WILL NOT BE INCLUDED.. sorry if there is any confusion in future chapters!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any associated characters but I do own this plot!! BOOYA!!
"SHIKAMARU NARA GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED RIGHT NOW". It was Ino again. Ok, so being best friends with Ino had its highs and lows, but being aroused every weekday at half eight in the morning cannot be counted as a high point.
Don't get me wrong, Ino is one of the best friends anyone could ask for. She's always there for me whenever I need her, but it's times like this that I wish we had never met.
For me, this is just another ordinary Monday morning. Being dragged out of my bed (late as usual) only to have enough time to shovel a bowl of cereal into my mouth and then trudge along to school.
I don't really see the point in school. I mean what the hell?! Nobody listens, it's too early and I'm not exactly learning anything that I don't know already.
It's far too troublesome.
As we left the house, Ino continued to babble on about some new random boy. "Shika, stop daydreaming. We need to get Chouji, look you've already passed his house!"
She was shrieking everything in an unusual high pitched voice. "Ugh … what's with you?" I said clearly. "whaddya mean?" she screeched. I knew that look.
Ino was keeping something from me again. I could always tell because she couldn't keep herself from blushing. There wasn't much point in arguing with her.
She always won. I couldn't really be bothered to argue anyway. I felt really weird. "hey how are you guys!" Chouji bounded over to us with a big grin on his face.
This wasn't unusual either. He was always happy. It could get really irritating sometimes though. Today was the start of a new term but I knew that everything was going to change.
It was going to be very different.
Walking through the gate, I saw all the old faces but yet there was one or two that I didn't recognise. I strolled over to Naruto, sakura and sasuke, glad to see them again.
"hey" I mumbled and waved. They started talking to me straight away oblivious to the fact that I wasn't paying attention. My eyes had drifted beyond Naruto to a sallow skinned girl with sandy blonde hair.
Thank Kami they didn't notice my lack of attention. All I had to do was mumble one or two words and they wouldn't know the difference. I was transfixed.
She wasn't the prettiest girl I had ever seen, nor the worst but there was something about her that I couldn't explain. Something strange… in a good way I think.
As I said, I can't really explain it. I hadn't seen her before but I could tell she wasn't new. Her hair was pulled up in four of the most bizarre ponytails I had ever seen but looked affluent.
She was standing alone, her hand on her hip with a permanent scowl etched on her face. I felt slightly sorry for her.. That is until she realised I was looking (well maybe staring) at her and started shouted at me.
"Am I wearing something that belongs to you?!" she barked. "No.. I.. I..". All eyes were on me as I stuttered, feeling foolish. "Or do you just want a picture?
It would last longer" she continued. Her abrupt manner caught me off guard. I was going to be nice to her, maybe try to be friendly… It was no wonder she hadn't any friends.
Naruto raised his eyebrows at me as temari stalked off. "What the hell was that all about?" he laughed, causing Shikamaru's eye to twitch.
"Dunno, troublesome hormonal female species…. She new??" I questioned. He stared at me wide-eyed. "You don't know who that is?! She's practically royalty!".
I looked around as everyone nodded their heads, confirming what Naruto had said. "She's Sabaku No Temari.. Her Father is the Daimyo of Suna!". I couldn't get my head around this girl.
I was so confused!.
So that was the first chapter!! feedback is greatly appreciated.. Flames ignored, constructive critism is welcomed!! thanks for reading
