Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or am affilated with it in any way, shape, or form.

Thanks for waiting enjoy.


Naruto awoke to a pounding on the door. 'Who could that be?' he thought. Naruto rolled over in his bed. Hoping the person that was pounding would go away. What seemed like a minute passed, then another. He couldn't take it anymore. So Naruto decided cease the source of his irritation.

He threw his legs over the side of the bed and rose for the first time that day. Naruto couldn't see that well. He always took awhile to regain his senses when he woke up. Which was a pretty bad thing in his apartment. Mountains of clothes, papers and other trash made a very interesting maze.

There was one thing that you could not find on the floor in his place, food. Naruto had a bad experience with that once and promised himself that it would never happen again. You see Naruto had forgotten about some pizza he was planning on saving for later that night. 3-4 months later Naruto was looking for something that didn't smell so bad to wear. He picked up the shirt that hiding the wayward pizza and was surprised to find something blue, hairy and very smelly. He leaned over to check it out and tripped on a stray aluminium can. Doing a face plant right into the mouldy pizza. No food was much safer for tripping and he didn't need to clean up blue, hairy things.

Naruto battled in his half-conscious fury through the mess to silence the pounding that was now echoing in his head. Naruto had to get to the door. It seemed impossible, but because Naruto's balance and sight weren't the best thing in the morning it was truly a battle. Finally the long journey ended.

While fumbling with the lock Naruto felt he wanted to kill what was on the other side of that door. At last the door was unlocked and vengeance will be his. The fabled was here. Naruto grasped the door handle and turned it. He swung the door open and was about to yell at the person who disturbed his slumber when a fist slammed into his face. Naruto flew about 5 feet and then Naruto was brought back into this world by a loud, "HOW DARE YOU KEEP A LADY WAITING!!!!!"

He was finally awake, but thanks to his rude awakening his jaw was now out of place. Naruto looked up and found whom the fist belonged to, but before he could do anything the women in pinstriped pyjamas walked in and started rifling through a mound of clothes. Picking up a shirt and smelling it and then repeating. Naruto was going to yell at her, but again before he could even open his mouth he was hit in the face with shirt and consecutively a pair of pants. Followed by a, "Hurry and get dressed and shower or whatever. And get over to my place."

Naruto ripped the clothes off his face and fired back, "Why should I listen to you, stupid lady Anko?"

Anko was in her mid-20's was pretty. She had black hair that she tied back in a messy ponytail that seemed to spike out all over the place. The rest of her hair just flopped over everywhere else. She had soft silver eyes that were squinted when she smiled big. She also had an unnatural obsession with dumplings. She'd have her own set of little fanboys if she wasn't such a tomboy type and she was the school student counsellor so she was not seen much. There was one other thing that deterred the fanboys her attitude was much like Naruto's loud, brash, and the first thing that popped into her head was the first thing out of her mouth.

The reason for Anko living down the hall was by far no mere coincidence. Naruto had been sent to her office an alarming 8 times in two weeks. So Anko decided to take a look at Naruto's home life and when she got there she found out Naruto lived alone. She asked the questions she had to ask and then also asked how much rent was, Naruto told and Anko who delightfully surprised. She was paying almost one and three quarters that much. So she hunted down the manger of the apartments and that's the end of that story.

An aluminium can flew across the room and hit Naruto square in the forehead. After which Anko replied, "What did you say?"

"Stupid... lady... Anko," said Naruto with a large sneer.

Anko pounded her feet on the floor as walked toward totally enraged. When she got there she slammed her right leg in front of Naruto, leaned down her arm on it, thrust her face towards Naruto's so that they were eye to eye, and while gritting her teeth she said, "Say that again!"

"Stupid... lady... Anko," growled Naruto as he grit his teeth as much as her.

It was a staring contest, a starring contest to the death. No one would cave. The pressure was intense and just when Naruto thought he couldn't take it anymore. Anko rose and while crossing her arms she said superiorly, "And I was going to serve you breakfast to. What a pity?"

There was a light in Naruto's eyes and he jumped on Anko giving her a large hug while saying, "Did I ever say you're my favourite sensei?"

Naruto jumped off of her, grabbed the clothes Anko had previously thrown at him and bolted towards the shower. Anko threw back her head a laughed and exited the apartment while shutting the door behind her.

Naruto was excited not only did he get breakfast, but he also got to pay Anko back for pounding on his door so early in the morning. Then he thought, 'By the way, what time is it anyway?' He dismissed that thought; he'd ask when he got inside. Anyway he had to pay Anko back right now. Naruto was going to pound the heck out of that door. He was going to pound the door so hard that the whole apartment building would hear them. Naruto was ready. Now was the time. He clenched his fist, drew it back and... He thought of something. He would make a louder sound with two fists. Then he thought he could use his feet too and it would be an even bigger noise if he had a running start. Naruto thought he was pretty smart right now. 'This was a great plan,' he thought and since this was great it deserved a name. Naruto decided to call this plan the "The Payback Anko Plan". It was still early in the morning. Naruto got himself in position, steadied himself, and got ready for the charge. Ready, Set GOO!!!!!!!!

Naruto awoke to a bucket of water being thrown on his face. "Wha, Wha, What do you want?" awoke Naruto franticly.

"Some help, but all you seem to want to do is sleep," teased Anko.

"I wasn't sleeping I was unconscious," spat back Naruto.

"Your unconscious when you sleep, right?"

"I guess."

"Then you were sleeping."

"..." Naruto was in shock. How could he respond to that?

"Now sit still and let me see your head, your bleeding," insisted Anko.

"I am?" replied Naruto. He reached up to his forehead and felt a lump and something warm. He brought his hand back in front of his eyes so he could see and sure enough there was blood. Naruto freaked, grabbed Anko and said, "Well what are you just standing around for and fix it."

"I would if someone would let go of me."

Naruto looked at his hands and let go and he said while scratching the back of his head embarrassed, "Heh, sorry about that."

Anko got up and fetched her medical kit, walked back to Naruto and plopped down in front of him. "Hey that looks pretty bad," commented Anko, "Well that's what you get for being stupid. By the way does it hurt?" She had said this while poking the wound.

"Owww!!! Why would you do that?" bellowed Naruto.

"Because it's fun," said Anko with a smile, "Now hold still or do you think blood is in this year."

It was hard for Naruto to sit still, but he decided not to complain. "Umm..."

"Yes" Anko answered.

"How did this happen?" queried the patient.

"You were taking so long to come, so I decided to check on you. By the way what do you do in the shower anyway you took 20 minutes. Anyways so I opened the door and you sprinted in, tripped on your own stupid feet, and smashed your head on the table. I waited a bit and you weren't moving and you were bleeding all over my floor so I got the bucket from under the sink and splashed you. You know everything else. Why were you in such a hurry? Did you want wanted to see me that bad?" Anko pretended to blush.

"Get over yourself."

"Now that's not very nice," said Anko while pressing on the half-bandaged wound with her thumb. Naruto cringed with pain, as the bloodstain on the bandage grew larger and larger. "Look what you made me do, now I have to start all over."

'Freak,' Naruto thought to himself.

Anko started all over again and finished a few minutes later. "Now since you decided to throw over my table and bleed all over my floor. Not mention knock over some chairs. You have to clean it up. Hurry up I got you here to so there is less work for me, not more. I'll be in the living room," and with that she was gone.

Naruto cleaned up. It wasn't much work all just putting everything back into place and taking a rag to the floor. Naruto growled to himself as he entered the living room, "That breakfast better be good."

"Did you say something?"

"I'm done," he said with a scowl.

"Our target objective is over there," she pointed to a bookshelf that was tipped over and all the books scattered all over the floor, "There is only really 2 jobs to be done here. So we'll split the jobs down the middle. That sounds fair?"

"Yeah, sure whatever." It did make sense someone picks up the books and the other places them on the shelf.

"Okay," Anko said with a wink. She walked over to the fallen bookshelf lifted and placed it back in the proper position. Then walked back over to Naruto and said while slapping him on the back, "Tag your it."

"What are you talking about?"

Anko explained, "There are two jobs to be done one was put the bookshelf back in place and the other was place the books on the shelf. Have fun!"

"What?"

"Too late you can't back out now," she grinned then hopped over her couch and started watching some stupid morning talk show.

"But this will take forever I'll be late for school," Naruto said trying to guilt Anko.

"That's why I got you up early."

"How early?"

"5:10-5:15 somewhere around there."

"What? Why did you...?" Naruto was interrupted.

"Because you had a lot of work to do. Now with you not answering the door for 10 minutes your 20-minute shower and the rest you used up most of your time is gone. Its 20 past 6 you better get started."

Naruto began his long work ahead of him this was going to take a while there had to be over 450 books.

/one hour later/

'Finished' thought Naruto. "Hey, I'm done. What's for breakfast?"

Anko pointed a box on the kitchen table. Naruto got a closer look and said in shock, "DUMPLINGS!!!"

"Yeah, what did you expect? You weren't done for a while so I ate without you. I left you some though."

Naruto trudged over to the box of dumplings and thought 'They better be good dumplings.' He got to the box and looked inside. There was only one left. He didn't care anymore. Food was food at this moment.

"Wow, it's already 7:30 and you got to change into your uniform. You're going to miss your bus. I'll give you a ride, but you got to hurry."

Naruto raced out the door and down the hall into his apartment. He got dressed and ran downstairs and out the door. Naruto stood there for a second and realized he forgot what Anko's car looked like. She honked the horn and that was his beacon. He got in the car and they drove off.

About half way there Anko look as if she remembered something and said, "Didn't you forget something?"

"No," said Naruto insulted.

"Your backpack," said Anko.

"No, it's at school. I didn't feel like homework," Naruto replied.

"Okay, but you shouldn't really tell a sensei that," Anko said.

"I hardly consider you a sensei," Naruto said in retort.

Just then Anko took a quick left hand turn forcing him to smash his head on the passenger window.

Naruto didn't care he kept everything that he used for school in his backpack. His binder, his school comic books, it was minus one slingshot right now, his lunch... He forgot to make a new lunch. 'This day gets better and better,' Naruto thought.


Endnotes: Thanks for waiting I had a ton of homework and then I had to write this. Did you like it? I did. This chapter like Chapter 2 was supposed to be two paragraphs in a chapter and it blossomed into a full chapter. Oh yeah Kakashi was supposed to be introduced, but that can wait till next chapter. I don't really know what he'll teach yet, but he'll teach something. Apart from that there will be a big surprize that will bring Naruto and Sakura closer, sort of. You'll get what I just said when you read the next chapter. One last thing you may or may not have noticed that the summary changed. Thank Durain for that I practily ripped it right from the post. Hope that's okay. Anyway good bye as a stuffed animal once said, "Ta ta for now"
