On to Chapter 6 XD

Please remember, Chapter 6

Yamanaka residence, 2nd floor.

Birds chirping, the sound of the raindrops fading as the sun rises to create a beautiful rainbow that went almost as wide as the sky. Ino was half asleep, listening lazily to the birds as they sang their usual melodies, the sun coming through the orange curtain, giving the room a dim light that actually helped people to fall asleep, when all of the sudden the sun hit her eyes, she turned around to see- as she put it-:

"Who opened the God damn curtain??" Ino said getting up, she hated being woken up from a deep sleep THAT way.

"Language, Missy. Watch your language!" Ino's Mom, Asuka, yelled at her 16 years old daughter, hands on her waist. Unlike Ino, Asuka had a short dark brown hair and green eyes, though she turned 42 last month, her body was in a really good shape. Asuka always told her daughter that her father, Inoichi was the reason why she kept her fitness, saying that she wanted to attract him from the very first day. We can all tell that the dieting thing runs in the family.

Of course, Ino looked nothing like her mother, she sometimes wondered if she really IS her mother.

"Gomen, Ma. Just don't wake me up again like that. You know I hate it" Ino got up, lowered her feet to the ground & rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Ok, Ok. Just try to watch it again." Asuka said, tying the curtains to their hangers to keep them open. She opened the window to let some fresh air in the room. "You should hurry and get dressed, you're the one In charge of the Shop today" she said with a Smile.

"AGAIN? When do YOU get to be in charge?" Ino said in a furious tone, getting up and making her bed. She didn't want her mother to scold her for not making the bed; she really wasn't in the mood for crankiness in the morning. She finished it and brushed her hair.

Asuka sighed, "I'll be in charge whenever I want to. Now hurry up, Customers might be already outside waiting for the shop to open on this beautiful day!" She said taking some fresh air in her lungs. She put a stray strand of her hair behind her ears. She could hear her daughter mumbling 'yeah, yeah. Whatever' while walking away to the bathroom.

"Why don't you appreciate this life? You're always whining about how things aren't good enough. Your father and I tried to get everything perfect for you since you were our only child. What else is there?" Her mom said, sitting on the newly made bed.

"I dunch leed anyshing" Ino said, more like mumbled

"WHAT?" Asuka asked, not understand what her daughter just said.

Ino was in the bathroom brushing her teeth, she spit out the paste. "I don't need Anything, Ma" she washed her mouth and grinned to the Mirror, "You're looking good today, Ino-Chan" Ino talked to herself in the Mirror. (I guess Gaara and Ino has got this habit of talking to themselves, Crazy people who will fall in love :P)

Ino's mom got off the bed, "I'll be downstairs in the kitchen if you want me. I made you some cupcakes if you want" Asuka said, walking towards the door. "Thanks, Ma" Ino yells. She opens her closet to check what she will wear today.

"Hmm, so many choices" She looks at her usual but a bigger size of the black Kunoichi outfit. "Nah, I've worn that too much. I should change a bit. Maybe the color" She grins to no one. And looks through the clothes she has, she noticed an outfit she never wore.

"I've never even seen this outfit. Where were you, little one?" Ino talked to the outfit she picked, she decided to wear it for a change. A few moments later, she was wearing a dark blue sleeveless button-up top with a matching short skirt, and net shorts underneath and net knee & elbow holders (don't know what they're called, the ones they were on their knees & elbows, like Temari's ones) she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Well, this looks nice" she smiled as she tied her long hair in a low, loose braid and went downstairs.

Yamanaka Residence, 1st floor.

Ino went downstairs to see her father, as usual, reading a newspaper on the kitchen table while her mom is making some eggs and pancakes. "Good morning, Dad" Ino greeted her father. "Ah, my princess, Good morning to you too" Inoichi greeted his daughter with a smile, she kissed his cheek. (Since Ino's the only child, her dad spoiled her a lot)

"I'm sorry, dad. But I should get going to the flower shop" she said, then she whispered "She'll kill me if I'm late" she grinned, her father laughed. "Now what are you two laughing about?" Asuka said, putting the eggs plate on the table.

"Oh, it's nothing, sweetheart. Ooh, that looks delicious" Inoichi said. Ino laughed, her dad always complimented her mom, says that a man should always compliment his wife no matter what. He told Ino that she wasn't a good cooker in her early days but she's improved.

Ino drank a bit of the oranges juice her mother set on the table, "Well, Folks. I should go now, Ja ne" is what she said before running out the door. "She's a busy girl. I wonder why" Inoichi said looking at his wife who smirked at him.

' Konoha Village' streets

Ino walked along the street which was a bit damp because of the rain. In some streets, the water was already drying because of the sun. In other places, where the sunrays couldn't reach (because of the buildings), the ground was still wet, for example, the street in front of the 'Yamanaka flower shop'.

"You have got to be kidding me" Ino said when she saw that water was in a small pool in front of the shop, she sighed. "Don't tell me I should mop away the water" she put her hands in her waist. She sighed and started to unlock the door when she heard footsteps. She turned around to see none other than the laziest ninja in Konoha along side with their Greedy team-mate. "Good morning, Ino." Chouji said, eating some barbeque-flavored chips out of the bag.

"Good morning to you too, guys. Though it's not totally for me" she said looking at the water pool.

"You look like you're in trouble, Ino" Shikamaru said, hands behind his head. "Yeah, I can see that. Care to help?" Ino said, a bit angry.

"Let me see…" He rubs his chin as if he's thinking. "…No" He smirked. 'I knew it, note to self: never ask Shikamaru for Anything' Ino thought. "I can do that. If you wanted me to" Chouji said, putting the bag of chips in his backpack.

"Wow, Chouji. Yeah, I'd really appreciate it. See Chouji, You're a nice guy. Unlike SOME people" Ino stressed on the last few words. Shikamaru didn't pay attention. Ino sighed and unlocked the door of the shop, entering it with Chouji & Shika.

"Where can I find the mop?" Chouji said, Ino pointed to the back door. "It's in the back of the store, it's already unlocked" Chouji Nodded and went to the back, quickly found the mop. "I got it!" Chouji smiled, his cheeks puffing in the process. Ino smiled to him as he walked outside with the mop and a bucket. Shikamaru made himself comfortable by sitting on the chair behind the counter. Ino just 'looked' at him.

"What's wrong?" He said, she giggled. "Nothing, nothing at all" Ino said, she wore a yellow apron and picked up a glass sprinkler, filled it with water and started spraying the flowers to make them look livelier. Chouji was outside, mopping the water away. The sun has finally changed its sunrays' angle & blessed this side of the village by shining on it. Its rays coming through the glass made the water on the flowers look like natural dew. Ino was good with flowers, arranging them and all 'guess this runs in the family', she thought. She heard the bell on top of the door being rung. 'A Customer already? I guess Mom was right. They do show up early' she thought. She got up to welcome the old lady.

"Good morning, young man" the old lady said, 'young man? It's either she can't see well or she's totally screwed up' Ino thought. Then she looked where the old lady was looking. Behind the counter sat a very shocked Shikamaru. 'That's should make him sit in other people's places' Ino evilly Grinned and turned to the flowers again. 'Let's see how he'll handle this' Mentally, she was laughing her head off.

"Uh, um…Welcome, ma'am." Shikamaru stuttered out the words, looking at Ino whose back was to Shikamaru. He could clearly see her shoulders shaking. He glared at her. 'Menokuse na' he looked up then faked a smile. "How can I help you, Ma'am?" He said.

"I'm looking for some flowers to give for my son and his new wife. I want to show her that I'm a nice woman, instead of being the monster-in-law." The old lady said, laughing with her hand in front of her face. Shika wanted to give her what she wanted but he couldn't find it because he didn't know a goddamn thing about flowers.

"Maybe I can help, Ma'am. If you let me, I can arrange a few flowers for you." Ino politely said. "Oh, thank you, young lady. I can wait" the old lady said.

"It won't take long, Ma'am" Ino bowed to the old lady and started picking up a few flower. While Ino was picking up the flowers, the old lady was already having a huge conversation with Shikamaru. Ino smiled, 'he's nice with the elderly. Maybe he has problems with young ones only, hehehe. That makes you wonder about lots of things.' Ino mentally laughed as she picked red & pink carnations, purple & yellow chrysanthemums and yellow orchids. She arranged them and wrapped them in a transparent wrapping paper and handed them to the old lady.

"This arrangement of flowers means Colorful life, which is what you really wish for your son and his wife, I think…" Ino said politely and smiled.

"Those look beautiful…" she smells them, "…and have a beautiful fragrance. And what you said is true, Thank you, young lady" She bowed her head a bit. Ino chuckled and put her hand behind her head, face blushed, "thank you, Ma'am. That's my job" Ino smiled to the old lady.

The old lady paid for the flowers, thanking both Ino and Shikamaru and giving them a very generous tip. After the old lady had left, Ino laughed.

"What's wrong?" He asked, getting up the chair. Ino was straightening her apron and looking at Shikamaru. "You should've seen your face when that old lady asked you for flowers." Ino laughed again.

"That's not funny. Flower caterings are troublesome stuff, not my type of things." Shikamaru said. "They're called flower arrangement, not catering…" they both turned to the door to see Chouji with a bucket half-full of water. "…Catering is for food" he said, going to the back door.

"You should know that, since you're the food expert" Shikamaru said, sitting in a chair in front of the counter. Chouji came back to the front of the shop and Ino sat in her chair.

"Excuse me guys, but I should go now" Chouji said Walking to the front door after waving for his friends.

"Where are you going, on a date?" Shikamaru winked at Chouji. Chouji blushed in embarrassment. "No, it's not a date. I'm leaving with my father today. Chouji said smiling.

"Where are you going, Chouji?" Ino said with a sad look in her eyes. "My dad has this shack on top of the mountain; we're spending a few months there. Meditating and practicing, you know the usual." He said smiling. "Oh, then good luck, Chouji, Don't forget to write" Ino said, Shikamaru nodded to Chouji. He smiled, "I won't, see ya" He said, waving goodbye and going out the door.

"Are you going to leave too?" Ino said resting her chin on her hand, Shikamaru looked at her. Sitting his hands on the counter, "No, I'm not. Do you want me to leave?" Shikamaru smirked. "No, it's fun when you hang around…" Shikamaru blushed; he secretly had a crush on Ino five years ago but started to fade when he became her team-mate. The two became very close friends, another customer came in and the two were ready to help.

The fifth Hokage's Office

"Ah, this is tiring. I can't believe I took this job." Tsunade, the fifth Hokage leaned back in her seat. Tons of files and papers are on the desk. It's 7:30 in the morning and she's been working from the night before. She leaned on her desk, her index and middle fingers rubbing her temples, 'though I'm the genius medical ninja of the Legendary Sannins. I can't concentrate hard enough to deal with this' she thought, looking at the files in front of her. The file Contained new information about the new appliers for the Chuunin rank, their ages and their abilities. Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi were part of the group. A name caught her eyes…

Hyuuga Hanabi

'So, she's finally ready.' Tsunade thought as she remembered little Hanabi, 7 years old but has the will of a 50 year old. 'I guess her father wanted her to become as strong as he is, let's see if she's able to become a Chuunin' Tsunade said closing the file and putting it aside. A knock on the door was heard.

"Come in!" Tsunade exclaimed.

A Jonin came in. she had a short brown hair, dark brown eyes and a cute smile. She was wearing the Jonin Uniform, holding in one hand a cup of tea. Her other hand was holding a little Pig.

"Buio" the little pig, Ton-ton, said with a smile on its face. (Said shouldn't be the word, right?)

"That's right, Ton-ton. Tea time!" The hyper-active 33 years old Shizune said, putting the tea cup on the desk in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade smiled, grabbing the hot cup of tea and blowing on it a bit to make it cooler. "Thank you, Shizune. You're a life saver." She said drinking a bit of the mint-flavored tea.

"It's my job, Tsunade-sama. Besides, you've been working since last night. It's time you took a break. C'mon, the rain has stopped and the weather is beautiful. Go out and Take some fresh air." Shizune said. A 'buio' sound was heard in agreement.

Tsunade put the cup of tea aside, arranging the files in one tidy pile and setting it on the left side of the desk and getting up.

"You're right, Shizune. I need some fresh air, I don't want to look sleepy when the Kazekage arrives" she said with a smile. Shizune had a horrified look on her face (you remember the look on her face when Tsunade gambled a lot? Yup, that's the look)

"K-k-k-Kazekage? Isn't he that Creepy kid from the Chuunin exam? The vessel of Shukaku?" Shizune said, a hand in front of her face (Don't ask me how she heard about Gaara, but Jonins have their conversations from time to time)

"Was the vessel of Shukaku, but he's a Kazekage now. And he wouldn't have taken the job if he hadn't been suitable for it. It's been 5 years after all. Time changes people." Tsunade said with a wink. Shizune just sighed along with Ton-ton.

"Ok, I'm going out now. Please inform me if there's anything important." Tsunade said, waving her hand. Shizune bowed then looked at Ton-ton.

"Let's hope nothing happens during his stay here, Ton-ton" Shizune told, smiling at her pet pig. Ton-ton just replied with a "Buio"

Konohagakure streets

"Hey guys, wait for me!!!" Young 13 years old Udon yelled at his friend, 14 years old Konohamaru who was running towards the Academy. A 13 year old Moegi was running behind Udon, trying to catch up to the two Genins.

Konohamaru wore a yellow shirt with the Konoha symbol on it, long blue pants and the usual sash around his neck; also on his forehead was the Konoha forehead protector. Moegi wore a dress Similar to Sakura's dark red one, except this was black and grey. Her hair was now longer, tying it in a high ponytail with the Konoha forehead protector. Udon now wore a black shirt with grey pants, got rid of his glasses, recovered from the long-lasting sniffle & he has and now had the Forehead protector Instead of the goggles.

"We can't wait, we should go to practice if we want to become Chuunins" Konohamaru said, looking back at his friends. He didn't notice someone was on his way.

BAM!!!!

Konohamaru fell backwards; Udon and Moegi were running so fast that they couldn't stop in time. The slammed into Konohamaru and all three fell on top of each other. Groans and ouches were being heard.

"You still don't watch were you're going after all these years. Ne, Konohamaru?" a female voice said, mentioning the time Konohamaru bumped into her, mainly, into her breasts.

Konohamaru – who was at the bottom of the pile consisting of the three- looked up to see none other than the ample-breasted baa-Chan that they called Hokage-sama.

"Oh, Hokage-sama…" Moegi Got off Konohamaru and Udon, dusting off her dress and bowing to Tsunade. "…Please forgive us. It's Konohamaru's fault." Moegi said, pointing at the now very angry Konohamaru. He gave her the 'You'll pay!!!' look. Udon got up, adjusting his forehead protector's position.

Tsunade looked at the three youngsters and laughed. "It's ok. No harm no foul." Said Tsunade, now was pinching on Udon's cheeks which were now as red as a tomato.

"Like SHE said…" Konohamaru stressed on the 'She' word. "…it's my fault. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go to for practicing with Ebisu-sensei" Konohamaru said looking straight into her eyes. After all these years, he still didn't like the fact that she took his grandfather's place and office. But he still respected her for being Hokage.

"It's ok. Don't mind me. Great ninjas should never be late for their missions." Tsunade said, waving her index fingers as a 'No'.

Moegi grinned while Udon smiled and Konohamaru frowned. Both Moegi and Udon saluted Tsunade "Hai, Hokage-sama. We're on our way" both said and ran towards the place where they were supposed to meet with their sensei. Konohamaru looked at Tsunade who was smiling at him.

"Am I free to go now?" he said in a low tone. Tsunade looked at him, eyes narrowed, hands on her hips.

"Hmmm, let's see…" she looked at the sky as if she's thinking. "…I don't think I prevented you from going there." She said giggling in a silly way. Konohamaru's frown was slowly turning into a smile.

"You're a good boy, Konohamaru. And you're going to be great…" she said patting on his head and walking by him. "…Just like your Grandfather." She continued without looking back. Konohamaru's eyes widened as she compared him with his grandfather. He sadly smiled Looking at the Third Hokage's face on the mountain. 'I will be as strong as you were, Grandpa, I promise' he thought. Grinned and ran towards his friends.
