To something that cannot be named

This is my first attempt at a NejiShika fic, so please be gentle. I wrote this as a request for my friend animelover597. Happy now Merissa? Anyway, if anyone can give me a better name idea, I welcome it. Of course, I DO NOT OWN Naruto. Hyuuga Neji and Nara Shikamaru © Masashi Kishimoto

THIS WHOLE STORY WAS REPOSTED

Neji POV: I was seriously annoyed. You do NOT annoy Hyuuga Neji if you know what's good for you. And my little cousin Hanabi was succeeding in doing that nicely. "Neji-nii-san, the hokage has requested your presence." Hanabi said, in her annoyingly loud voice. "Go away Hanabi! It's 6:00 in the morning." I said. "Hokage's orders!" Hanabi said. I grudgingly got out of bed.

Shika POV: my mother does not learn. I have asked her many times not to wake me up before 9:00, and here she was waking me at 6. "SHIKAMARU! Get your lazy butt up and go to the hokage!" She said. I turned over in bed. Next thing I knew, I was on the floor. "I said 'get up'! The hokage has an important mission for you." She said. Stiffly, I rose from the floor. "So troublesome." I muttered.

Normal POV: Neji had arrived at the hokage mansion. Shizune had showed him in. In Tsunade's office, she looked up at the Hyuuga prodigy and smiled. "Hello Neji." The female hokage said. Neji bowed to her. "You have a mission for me, hokage-sama?" Neji said. "I'm just waiting for your mission partner." Tsunade replied. "Partner?" Neji questioned. The door opened on Shikamaru. They stared at each other in surprise. "I believe you two already know each other so I don't need to waste time on introductions. Your mission is this: go to the hidden mist village and gather whatever information you can on the organization, the Akatsuki." Tsunade said. "Pardon me hokage-sama, but a simple info gathering mission requires a jounin and a chunin?" Neji said. "There are many bandits and assassins in the mist village and the land around it. You may also run into trouble from the people you ask. The Akatsuki is a sensitive subject to most villages." Tsunade said. "I knew this would be troublesome." Shikamaru said.
