A/N: XD Thanks for the reviews!


"It's ok, Yuuki-chan," Ino whispered, trying to get the child in her arms to fall asleep. She tried rocking her, singing to her, anything, but the kid just wouldn't sleep.

Shikamaru came in and stared at the balling kid in Ino's arms. Immediately, the girl shut up and stared at him, he stared back. Stare... Stare... Stare...

Then... "Uggy boy?"

"Excuse me?" he aasked, raising a brow in confusion. "Wanna run that by me again?"

"Uggy boy! Uggy, uggy, uggy boy!"

"Well, this kid has good tatse," commented Ino, giggling.

"Uggy hair!" she yelled, pointing at Ino's hair.

"What?!" she yelled, staring at the kid in surprise.

"Uggy hair! Uggy hair!"

"Well, I guess she does have some taste."

"No, you Uggy hair!"

"Uggy hair you!"

"No, you uggy hair!"

"God, stop fighting, you both have uggy- I mean ugly hair," Shikamaru cut in, massaging the bridge of his nose. "Happy now?"

"Uggy hair me?" asked Yuuki.

"Yes!" answered Ino. "Uggy hair you!"

"Ino... You sound like an idiot, don't talk like that..."

"Yes, Master," she replied, her dripping with sarcasm. "Right away, Master... Would you like some chese with that whine, Master?"

He only shook his head, rolling his eyes and walked out of the room.

"He's annoying," she told Yuuki, setting her down. "Can you say, 'annoying', Yuuki-chan?"

"Annoying?" she asked. "Annoying! Annoying!"

"Right!" she exclaimed, smiling. "Maybe sitting you won't be so bad."

"Uggy hair nnoying, too!"

"Right, Ugg hair anny-"

Yuuki giggled, pointing at the blonde before her.

"Hey!"

The girl ran off, giggling and spouting baby gibberish.

She looked at the remote on the floor and plopped down by it. She picked up the remote and the batteries. She stared at it for a moment then she chucked a battery at Shikamaru.

"Uggy boy, come play with me!" she yelled.

Shikamaru rubbed the sore spot on his head and glared at the girl.

She only smiled back.

"Go to bed, Brat," he told her.

Her lips quivered for a moment then she started to cry.

Ino ran into the room and glared at him.

"You didn't have to make her cry!"

"She threw a battery at my head!"

"It's about time somebody did!"

He sighed and took the battery that was thrown at his head and handed it to Yuuki.

"Want to learn how to be a shinobi?" he asked, a smirk on his face.

"Snobi?" she asked.

"Close enough..."

He whispered in her ear and she giggled.

She threw the battery at Ino who squealed and glared at them.

"Did she just throw a battery at me?"

"About time somebody did, right, Yuuki?"

"Shnobi!"


"Ugh..." Ino sighed, sitting on the couch with Shikamaru.

This kid really didn't have a limit, did she?

"What now, Miss. Let's-Play-With-Her-Until-She-get's-ired?"

"Got any good ideas, Mr. Uh... Nara?"

"I would come up with something, but that would be way to troublesome..."

"Ino-chan!" called Yuuki, actually calling her by her name. (That took about an hour to teach her their names so they didn't have those ego-breaking ones.)

"Hm?" she asked.

"I have to go potty!"

"Potty?" she asked, her brow furrowing.

Shikamaru whispered what it meant into her ear and she screamed, "EW!"

She looked to Yuuki to see her doing a little dance.

"Why don't you take her?" she asked, looking to Shikamaru.

"I'm a guy... That would be a little... Awkward..."

She sighed.

"Fine..."

After she finished that, Yuuki decided to run around the house without her jammies on.

Ino chased after her, trying to catch her while Shikamaru chased a little sloer, a hand over his eyes.

"Think happy thoughts," he told himself. "Think a nice quiet field with lots of clouds, not a bare baby a- OW!"

He ran into a wall.


A/N: Wow... Sounds like Ino and Shikamaru are having a rough time, ne?
