We Are
Summary: We are a lazy deer, a stuck-up pig and an overweight butterfly. We are team ten. We are family.
Author's Note: Well, after such a long time of not writing, I finally got an inspiration! I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it's the work that counts ;P. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this fic, and hopefully my writing skills haven't gone down the drain.
Btw, I don't own Naruto. Stop asking!
Chapter 1:
When I was 4 years old and daddy first introduced me to my future teammates/ friends/brothers, I wasn't quite sure what he was getting at.
Back then, the only times we went to the meadow together was to pick flowers for the shop, which we'd been doing much more often, since mom had fallen ill. I was prepared for sticky sap and prickling thorns – not for two boys, one with crazy circles on his cheeks and one with hair like a pineapple.
"Daddy, who are they and why are they in the meadow?" I demanded, glaring at the boys through confused eyes. The meadow was our secret spot. Why were these two weirdos here?
Squiggles looked up, eyes wide as daddy and I approached, while Pineapple Head didn't move, preferring to keep staring up at the sky like it was doing something interesting. I checked myself, lifting my head to stare at the expanse of blue. Nope, still normal, I decided.
"Daddy, why are they in the meadow? Are we here to kick them out?" I asked, feeling excited. I could show him how well I could throw kunai now! But, to my confusion, he'd just shook his head.
"Princess, don't be silly. Shikamaru and Chouji are here because their fathers – you remember Uncle Chouza and Uncle Shikaku, right? – have agreed that you three should finally meet." he explained, before shooing me towards the other two, who were now both watching us with mild interest. Turning around, I opened my mouth to complain, but daddy was already leaving.
"Daddy, don't leave me here alone!" I screeched, stomping my foot and trying to make daddy come back. He didn't. For a few seconds, I stood rooted in place. I was Daddy's Little Princess – he couldn't just leave me here!
"Uh, hi..." whipping around, I glared at Squiggles, who immediately looked down, bitting his lip. Letting out a huff, I crossed my arms.
"Hi. I'm Ino, and I want to go home." I announced angrily, glaring at the both of them. Squiggles looked down further, but Pineapple Head only stared at me, having managed to sit up slightly.
"Shikamaru, and I want you to go home too. Chouji and I don't want to hang out with some stupid whiny Princess." he said flatly, before lying back down.
Within the next minute and a half Shikamaru was whimpering, I was grinning and holding him down in a headlock, and Chouji was nearly wetting himself in panic. It was the beginning of the years of annoyance that followed.
I've never wanted it another way.
Well, that's the end of the first chapter :) if you like it, please tell me in a review!
