Hi again! This is violetrose92 bringing to you her fourth fanfiction! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Okay, so maybe not all of you are pleased lol ^_^ , but this one was a little more of a challenge for me. I'm going to put this up 5 chapters at a time, like with the majority of my stories, the chapters don't have that many words, but, I just hope that many will give you a little to chew on until the next segment (I will try really, really hard to get the 15 chapters that I promised today) This has a ShikaIno pairing (again, as evidenced by what it is listed as) I just find these two an odd match. It is more difficult to write with them, because I'm not used to working with them….I hope I didn't mess them up too badly…please don't be mad if I did. This story is about their daughter Akemi who is the exact opposite of her parents.I also want to take this opportunity to thank my college friend for giving me the basic idea of this story. I hope you like it!

I do not own Naruto.

Daughter of the Genius

By violetrose92

Chap 1

She was ten years old when they first met.

He was leaning lazily against a tree when his squad leader slapped him on the back.

"We're working with another genin squad on this mission, Inuzuka."

"Why?" the boy asked, yawning.

"This mission is rather large. We need all of the manpower we can get." The jonin smirked, "Or women power in this case."

He raised his eyebrow, "Oh? How is that?"

His squad leader smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Well, apparently this new squad is fresh out of the academy." His smile grew sly, "They're all girls."

He rolled his eyes, "You're a pervert, sensei." He simply stated.

The jounin chuckled, but didn't deny it, "Well, they should be here any—"

There was a blob that dropped down from the trees above the two men.

"Gomen, Nao. We're late. Did you miss us?"a woman's cheerful voice chirped. The man looked up and flashed the tall woman a smirk, "Well, well, if it isn't Lotus."

The woman laughed and punched his arm playfully, "Is that any way to treat your old teammate?"

Nao chuckled and rubbed his arms. He looked over Lotus' shoulder, "Why not introduce your team?"

"How about they introduce themselves?" she turned and nodded at the trio of girls behind her.

A girl with black hair and gray eyes bowed, "Yamamoto Tsuki—team leader." Her voice was strong and confident.

The next girl with brown hair and blue eyes bowed, "Yue Emi."

"And finally our little genius." Lotus introduced with a soft smile, "It's all right." She kindly said.

"I-I'm not Lotus-sensei…" a soft, quiet voice came.

Lotus let out a ringing laugh, "You only graduated two years ahead of your class."

This piqued the younger boy's interest, She two years younger?

A girl with bright blond hair shyly stepped out and bowed, "Nara Akemi—ten years old."

When she finally looked up, her eyes were black—a beautiful black.

Akemi and the older boy's eyes met. He instantly saw into her, she was so transparent. Insecurity? He thought.

Nao chuckled and rubbed his forehead, "As expected of Nara's kid. Did both of her parents let her skip?"

Lotus crossed her arms, "What do you think?"

"Her Oka-san insisted and her Otou-san said 'Troublesome' and let his wife have her way?" Nao's eyes sparkled.

All Lotus did was smile.

Nao jerked his finger at the brunette boy behind him, "This kid here is Inuzuka Kaito. The other two slackers aren't here yet."

Kaito bowed low, "How are you Lotus-sensei, Yamamoto-san, Yue-san and Nara-san?"

"So polite!" she ruffled his hair, "That's refreshing to know that some Oka-san's teach their boys to be polite." Her eyes glinted at Nao, "Unlike some grown men."

"What are you looking at me for?" Nao demanded.

"No reason." Her eyes glinted again.

Kaito hid his grin behind a bow as he said, "Arigatou Lotus-sensei."

Then the girls became talkative.

"You can call me Emi-chan! Or Emi." She winked.

"You can call me Tsuki." The next girl batted her long eyelashes at him.

Akemi was silent.

Kaito said nothing, Girls. He thought.

"Well, let's meet up with the rest!" Lotus proclaimed. Her eyes flashed at Nao, "I bet I can beat you, Nao-chan." She said sweetly.

Nao lowered his voice, "Is that a challenge woman?"

"What do you think?" she baited. Before the jonin could answer, she took off, Emi and Tsuki followed.

Kaito sighed and matched his pace with Akemi. "Two years ahead, ne?"

"Hai, Inuzuka-san." Her soft voice answered.

"Call me Kaito." He requested. "I'm not my Tou-san."

Akemi's blond head shot up, "A-are you sure?"

Kaito grinned and ruffled her hair brotherly, "Hai, if I can call you Akemi-chan."

Her ebony eyes sparkled. A bright smile lit her face as she said, "Un!"

A/N: Done! Finally! If the random Japanese annoys you, I'm sorry. It's most comfortable for me to write with the basic words that I have heard and read a lot and besides I think it's kind of fun ^_^ . I only use what I know to be the right words though. . . anyway, most of you probably won't mind since you're probably similar to me in that way, but that little nagging feeling lead me to say this and I did :) I learned a long time ago to follow your gut :)
