Author's Note:

I don't own Naruto...
Until now, I have been doing chapter's by days. Thats not really practical for the academy, as they don't have nearly as much interesting stuff to do. Therefore, this chapter will be a series of memories, (in chronological order), of the six months of class. Also, I completely forgot that there were twenty some graduates of the academy. The others still exist, actually Mizuki is one of them, I just forgot to include them. Any suggestions for the rookie teams? I want Naruto and Kitsumi on a team, but don't really know the third member.

Chapter 4

Naruto and Kitsumi sat on their bed. Iruka-sensei told them that they would learn something special tomorrow, so they should make sure to get a good night's sleep, and to eat well in the morning. Unfortunately, his words had the opposite effect on the twins, who can't seem to fall asleep, knowing that tomorrow will be exiting. They recently gave up on sleep, and begin to talk about the mysterious activity.

"Hey, brother, what do you think Iruka-sensei has planned for tomorrow?"

"I dunno, maybe its another obstacle course! I liked that one!"

"Yeah, but remember how Chouji broke the climbing thing. And how Ino got stuck in the tires?"

"Wait, Someone broke the climbing thing?"

"Yeah, Chouji was climbing up the wall, right? But then when he was halfway up, someone pushed the wall towards him and it fell on him and cracked really big down the middle."

"Oh, that was Chouji?"

"Yeah, that was Chouji."

"Well, if its broken, I guess we can't do another practice on it. What do you think it is, sis?"

"I don't know either. Maybe its got something to do with hand signs. I saw one of the real ninja do some, and they cloned themself so there were two!"

"No way, I hope thats what it is! I want to be able to clone myself. Although, what will we do when there are a bunch of Kiba and Akamaru clones?"

"Yeah, it was bad enough when someone accidentally gave Akamaru a soldier pill. Did you see how much he changed?"

"Yeah, he turned bright red, and started running around the room. He even jumped on Shino's desk and knocked the papers out of the way."

"That was the first time I've ever seen Shino get angry. The look he gave Akamaru was priceless."

"It wasn't as good as the look on Iruka-sensei's face when he found them in the middle of their girl fight. Even after all the training, they still slap at eachother like little girls."

"Yeah, to bad they were fighting over Sasuke, they seemed like really good friends. Oh well, its not like we can do anything, right Brother?"

"Yeah, although you have to feel a bit sorry for the guy, I mean, he has so many people following him around, constantly talking about his brother, or his fanclub."

"Yeah, he seems pretty nice though. He doesn't seem to mind the girls, just the talk about his brother."

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind girls doing that to me either." Naruto frowns a bit.

"As if you would actually notice..." Smiling, Kitsumi hits him lightly on the head.

"I would notice!"

"Uh huh, so then who does do that to you? The staring at you, the blushing in your presence, the talking about you when your not there. Who does it?"

"I don't know. No one does."

"See! You have no idea."

"So why don't You tell me?"

"Its against the spirit of the thing."

"Aww, well can you at least give me a hint?"

"Well, hmm... sure. She isn't a member of Sasuke's fan club."

"OK, so its not Sakura-chan, or Ino, or those two other girls. And its not you, so that leaves... Mizuki, Hina-- Wait a sec, that leaves all the people who aren't in the academy!"

"I never said it would be a good hint..."

Naruto grumbles under his breath, and then says, "Hey sis, do you know who likes you?"

"Huh? Someone likes me?"

"Uh huh!"

"Where's my hint?"

"Its someone at academy."

"Alright. Its not Sasuke is it?"

"No!"

"OK..." She follows it with a slight pause, and then begins again, "Hey, do you remember when we tried to test and see where Chouji hid all his food?"

"Yeah! I remember. I asked him for food, and you stood behind him to watch where he pulled it from."

"Yeah, but it ended up being a waste, because he pulled it out from the front of his jacket anyway."

"Yeah, I still say that he isn't really fat."

"Yeah. But What about Shino? I think he's really a bug. I mean, he plays with them all the time, and he gets them to do stuff for him. Like that one time, when we were eating outside, and everyone went in to get their lunches except for him. But when we got out, some ants carried his lunch to him."

"yeah, that was so cool. I wish I could have bugs bring me stuff when I wanted it."

"Yeah, but did you see that he fed some of it to the bugs afterward? I don't think you'd want to do that part."

"Yeah, maybe not. You know, if Shino was a bug, that would explain why he can't talk! Yeah, he's definitely a bug."

"You're right!"

"You know sis? We've gotten a lot better since academy started. We can hit anywhere on the target with a shiruken, only Sasuke is better than us at Taijutsu, or whatever Iruka-sensei calls hand to hand. I wonder what It'd be like if we didn't have eachother." Naruto thinks about it for a second, he sees a picture of himself washing the Hokage monument cause someone painted it. He shakes his head back to reality.

"It would not be good. But we do have eachother and that's whats important. Oops, I forgot to go and make food for tomorrow. I'll go do that."

"I'll help sis!"

"No, remember what happened last time you tried to cook?"

"Well, I know we ate ramen afterwards, but I don't really..."

And with that, she heads off to prepare the meal, leaving a sullen Naruto behind. after she leaves, he begins to think; there must be something he could do to help around the house. After a moment of thought, his eyes widen momentarily. He slips quietly outside to prepare the surprise for his sister.
