"Sota, wake up, you only have 15 minutes to get ready for training," Ino's soft voice rang through her son's ear. Sota sat up and rubbed his eyes, he looked at his mom and smirked. Ino brushed her hand through Sota's hair and walked out the room, she opened the door to an orange colored room, she looked at the bed, nothing. Ino's eyes went wide; she looked around the room, then ran out into the hall and looked up and down it. She opened every door, then ran into the kitchen. She sighed in relief to see a girl sitting at the table eating crackers.
"Oh, hi mommy, what's for breakfast?" the girl asked. Ino walked over to the fridge and pulled out some eggs.
"What do you want?" Ino asked. The girl put a finger on her chin and pocked her lips out, and put a thinking look on her face. Ino put a hand to her mouth and laughed.
"French Toast!!!" The girl yelled. Ino nodded and began to make the food. Once she was done she placed the plate in front of the girl and another next to her for Sota.
"Anole, once your big brother is done I want you to tell him, I want him to drive you to the school, but tell him to hurry I'm going to work," Ino said grabbing a paper bag.
"Um, mom, what about lunch?" Anole asked. Ino stopped and looked at her...she looked around the kitchen.
"Tell Sota to stop at Ichiraku's for you guys ok?" Ino asked setting money on counter for them.
"OK, bye," Anole replied. Ino ran out the door and down the street towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
"Hey Anole, where'd mom go?" Anole turned around to see Sota, he had his brown, with blonde tips, spiky hair in a high pony, his bangs propped out and bent down only a tad, he wore a blue long sleeved shirt, with a blue short sleeved shirt over it, he had on blue jeans with black shoes. Anole looked at him then up at the ceiling. She had her blondish-orange hair in a pony with some hair over her right eye, she had on a white T, with orange and white stripped arm warmers, a orange silk belt around it with a pink heart at the end, she had blue jean caprees, that had a heart on the left leg, and she had on orange confiers.
"She went to work, she told me to tell you, you have to take me to school and we have to stop at Ichiraku's to get our lunch," Anole said with a smile. Sota groaned then sat down and began to eat his food.

"Hey! Naruto!" Ino yelled from outside the shop, Naruto stopped and looked at Ino, then with a smile he walked over to her.
"Hey there Flower," Naruto said standing in front of Ino. Ino rolled her eyes, and then looked Naruto over; he had on a black business suit, and let's not forget the tie.
"Well aren't we ready for a huge meeting, Naruto Uzumaki, founder of Uzumaki Ramen Industries," Ino said with a bow, then stood up straight and laughed.
"Who would have guessed I would invest millions," Naruto said with a smile.
"Believe me, none of us ever did," Ino said, Naruto just frowned at the girl, then he looked at his watch, "Hey Ino, I got to go big meeting, like you said, and I will see you later."
"Okay, bye Naruto," Ino said with a wave, once the blonde knuckle-head was gone she walked back inside he flower shop and began to arrange flowers. Ino stood up and brushed off her hands, then gasped. She ran to the phone and dialed her home number; she took a sigh of relief when her sixteen year old son answered the phone.
"Sota, I was such in a hurry I forgot to wake you sister up, tell Oni she only has 15 minutes to get ready," Ino said.
"Yeah ok, can dump water on her?" Sota asked.
"No, just wake her up, and on your way to school I want you and Oni to stop in ok?" Ino ordered. She could tell by the noise in the background that Anole was jumping on the couch, "And tell Anole to stop jumping on the furniture."
"Ok we will, bye," Sota said then hung up. Ino sighed, Why did I have to have 3 kids? Ino thought to herself. She went back to her register as people began to come in.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"HEY ONI!!!! WAKE UP!!" Sota had flung the door open to his fifteen year old sister's room. Oni groaned and through a pillow at his head.
"Go away!" Oni yelled.
"You only have 15 minutes," Sota said walking out of the room. Oni flew up in distress, she jumped out of bed and opened her closet she grabbed a green dress with a white lace at the bottom, then a darker green after the lace, it went to half thigh, the top had spaghetti straps, but sleeves that showed her shoulders, also black leggings, and a black belt around her stomach, she put on a black choker as well, then put on black heels that laced up to about an inch after her ankle. Last she ran to the bathroom and brushed through her blonde and brown hair. (A/N: her hair is half blonde half brown so from the top to her shoulders is blonde then it fades into brown.) She braided only the brown part of it and let strands of blonde cover her right eye. She ran down stairs and grabbed an apple then ran out the door with her siblings.
"Hey Anole do you know if we're picking up the Uchiha kids?" Sota asked opening the driver door to his 4x4. Oni opened the passenger side and climbed in, with Anole jumping in the back.
"Um," she paused, "yeah we are."
"Okay here we go," Sota said starting the big truck, Oni looked at her brother, and sighed. He just shook his head, and smiled. Anole grabbed her older sister's shoulder and whispered in her ear. Oni gasped, then folded her arms and looked out the window pulsing.
"What did you say to her Anole?" Sota asked. Anole smiled as the truck pulled into the Uchiha drive way.
"I'll go get them," Sota said getting out of the truck. Sota walked up to the door, a girl with pink hair up in a messy bun, opened the door, she had on a white t-shirt with pink caprees and pink shoes, her face and shirt full of paint.
"Hey, Mrs. Uchiha," Sota said with a smile.
"I told you call me Sakura, Mrs.Uchiha is so formal," Sakura smiled. Sota nodded, and then looked past Sakura to see a girl with pink short hair that spiked out a little at the bottom, she had on the same outfit as Anole but instead of orange it was pink, and the heart was orange.
She looked up at Sota and smiled.
"Hey Tsuki, we need to go can you get Yuri?" Sota asked. Tsuki nodded and ran up the stairs coming back down with Yuri. Yuri had a deep blue hair color; he had on black baggy pants, a grey shirt with a black jacket over it, and blue shoes. He walked over by Sota and looked back at his mom and said bye, Tsuki follow after. Tsuki jumped in the back by Anole, while Sota made Oni move over to the middle so Yuri could have the passenger seat. Oni blushed. Yuri looked at her and smiled, Sota rolled his eyes in disgust.
Sota pulled into the middle school parking lot and dropped of Anole and Tsuki. He pulled away and down the road.
"Hey Tsuki, what ya got for lunch?" Anole asked looking at her friend. Tsuki looked in her paper bag, and said a PB and J sandwich, cut in half, a sliced apple, a candy bar, and two milk cartons.
"Do you think I can have you're the other half of your sandwich?" Anole asked looking at her pink haired friend.
"Where's your lunch?" Tsuki asked. Anole sighed.
"I didn't get any, Sota and Oni forgot to by it," Anole said looking at Tsuki, Tsuki smiled and nodded.
"You think it's funny don't you?" Anole asked, Tsuki nodded then began to laugh. Anole rolled her eyes and walked up the school stairs with a laughing Tsuki behind her.
"Hey! Wait for me!" The two girls stopped and turned around to see a boy with brown hair, which always looked like he had cat ears on top of his head, he always had smile held proud on his face. He had on a white shirt with a brown vest over it, brown baggy pants, and black shoes.
"Hey Riku!" Anole yelled with a wave. Riku walked over to the girls and looked at Tsuki then at Anole.
"So Tsuki, about that movie," Tsuki looked at a blushing Riku, she put a hand on his cheek, and smiled.
"It was an accident things happen," she said with a shrug. Anole rolled her eyes at the two.
"Come on," Anole said grabbing Tsuki's arm and pulling her inside the school.
"So what do your parents think of you dating TenTen and Neji's kid?" Anole asked.
"We're not dating," Tsuki said pushing her hair behind her ear.
"Uh-huh, and so even though you two went to a movie together, go everywhere with each other, hold hands, and last week that kiss on the cheek he gave you meant nothing?" Anole asked raising an eyebrow. Tsuki opened her mouth to protest, but closed it, then looked away from Anole blushing. Anole giggled, and then smiled at her friend.

"Mom!" Sota stood inside the flower shop with his sister, and Yuri.
"Mom, where are you?" Oni asked.
"Coming," Ino said from the back room. She walked out and looked at her kids and smiled.
"Need to see us?" Sota asked.
"Yes, but first did you guys get your sister her lunch?" Ino asked. Sota twitched his left eye, and then smiled slightly.
"Yeah..." Sota said lying. Ino nodded.
"Okay, now after school, Sota you need to drop the girls off at home then go pick up your father," Ino said looking at her son.
"I don't need anybody to pick me up, I'm just fine walking," Ino looked past Sota to see her husband.
"Hi dad, hey mom can we leave before we're late?" Oni asked. Ino nodded and watched the teenagers leave.
"Shikamaru, you know you can't keep doing this to yourself," Ino said looking at her husband. She frowned as he shrugged. She turned around and began to tend her flowers. He sighed then walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She stood up straight and put her hands on his shoulders and rested her head on his chest.
"Ino I know you're worried, but come on I'll be fine," Shikamaru said. She turned around in his arms and looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
"And what if your not?" Ino asked with doubt. Shikamaru kissed her forehead and hugged her tight.
"I promise, I will be," he said, she closed her eyes and sighed. He put her at arms length and smiled.
"Now I want you to go back to work, without a worry and I will see you tonight," he said kissing her on the lips. She nodded then grabbed his tie and tightened it.
"And don't let your lab buddies make rude remarks at you because you came to see me," She said fixing his collar on his lab jacket.
"They're just jealous that I'm married to you and they are not," he said giving her one last kiss. Ino smiled and gave him a wave as he left. Once he was out of sight down the road, she went behind the counter and leaned on it and sighed.
"Men, they just don't know when to listen, they got to remember with out women they would be hopeless..."
