Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Author's Note: Hey, I'm back with a brand new chapter! This is the first non-intro chappie! These chapters actually move the story along so no more boring stuff! It's time for action! Wow, that was a lot of exclaimation marks... Anyways, these chapters can be read seperately so you don't have to wait for a constant update. The exception is if the chapter was called '...' Part 1 etc. Then you'll have to wait for Part 2 and so on. There's a bit of NejiTen and NaruHina in this chapter. The pairings are still up for votes though. Enjoy!


8:15 a.m. - Chuunin Quarters

Beep! Beep! Beep! Bee-CRASH!

Tenten yawned and surveyed the damage she had done. She noticed the pieces of her broken alarm clock scattered near the door. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. Tenten wondered who would be knocking this early.

"TENTEN-CHAN," screamed a voice, slightly muffled, "ARE YOU OKAY?"

"Yes, Lee," Tenten yelled not bothering to open her door, "I'm fine. I just broke my alarm clock, that's all."

"THAT'S RIGHT," Lee continued, "LET YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH PROTECT YOU! YOSH!"

"What the hell," yelled a voice from farther down the hallway, "Do you have to make such a ruckus in the morning? I'm trying to meditate."

Tenten gathered that the voice belonged to Neji. Someone was pissed off this morning. Tenten decided to avoid the Hyuuga for the rest of the morning. In fact, Tenten decided that from now on, she would avoid the Hyuuga every morning.


8:30 a.m. - Genin Quarters

"AHHHH!"

Everyone was woken up by the noise and headed towards the source. Some looked annoyed (Hinata, Shino and Shikamaru); some looked mad (Sasuke and Kiba); and some had death auras around them (Ino and Sakura).

The door to Naruto and Chouji's dorm room swung opened to reveal a group of not-so-pleased people. Naruto who did not notice kept on whining.

"There's no food here," Naruto complained, "There's no kitchen. How am I supposed to get breakfast?"

"THAT'S THE REASON YOU WOKE US UP," screamed Sakura.

Naruto now noticing the death aura emanating from Sakura and the others, whimpered, "Meep! Please don't kill me!"

"Tch… leave him be," Shikamaru grumbled, discontentedly, "We might as well get ready so we can go get breakfast from the breakfast hall, how troublesome."

Chouji, at the sound of Shikamaru's promise of food, woke up immediately (how he managed to sleep through all that noise was beyond anyone); grabbing a towel, a toothbrush and a set of school uniforms he dashed to the showers. Kiba soon followed suit and raced out of the room. The rest of them trudged out, with the exception of Hinata, muttering.

"Naruto-kun," Hinata asked weakly, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," Naruto managed a sheepish grin, "Sorry for waking you up."

"Ano," Hinata stuttered, "It's o-okay. I w-was already a-awake."

"Hey," Naruto cheered up, hearing that Hinata wasn't disturbed, "Let's go grab a bite together, okay? Let me get changed. I'll meet you in the front hall in 10 minutes."

"S-sure, Naruto-kun," nodded Hinata.

Hinata left Naruto's room. She thought she must have been dreaming. Naruto had asked her to eat breakfast with him. No, even her dreams weren't this wonderful. It was so wonderful, in fact, that Hinata swore that she was about to faint. She shook her head and hurried to get ready. Naruto would be waiting.


8:35 a.m. - Chuunin Trio

"Neji-san, Lee-san," called Tenten, "Let's go for breakfast."

Lee was out in the hall in a heartbeat. Neji, however, took his long sweet time. By the time he came out he was greeted by a couple of kunai. Of course, he caught them.

"Impressive," he muttered.

"What took you so long," screeched Tenten.

"I was getting into my uniform," Neji stated calmly, "Which from what I see, you have not done yet."

It was true. Neji and Lee were both wearing a white blazer with the Konoha emblem on their short sleeves. Their pants were of a navy blue colour. The uniform was complete with a pair of black shoes and blue tie. Tenten on the other hand was wearing only the top part of her uniform with a blue tie and black shoes. She was wearing a pair of black baggy pants instead of the customary skirt.

"I don't want to wear a skirt," Tenten stated simply.

"BUT TENTEN-CHAN," pleaded Lee, "You HAVE to wear it. It REFLECTS you BURNING YOUTHFUL PASSION at this WONDEROUSLY, BEAUTIFUL school-"

"Alright, alright," Tenten shot, "I'll change. Just SHUT UP."

Tenten came out three minutes later dressed in a navy blue skirt that stopped four inches above her knees. She was also sporting white socks, as customary to the uniform. Lee went all googly-eyed and started saying something about 'springtime beauty'. Neji simply stared with a very teensy-weensy, surprisingly small blush.

Damn, she's hot…Augh! WTF? Stupid hormones, thought Neji.

Tenten cleared her throat, "Um, let's go get breakfast."

She started downstairs and the two other shinobi soon followed her. Lee was saying that if he could not get to the breakfast hall in less than a minute, he will run thirty laps around campus.


8:45 a.m. - Breakfast Hall

After a series of wandering in the wrong direction (Lee, when chasing a squirrel), walking into walls (Naruto who was too excited) and going into the girl's bathroom (Kiba and he got soundly beaten), the twelve of them made it to the breakfast hall. Lee had gone off to run thirty laps because he couldn't get there on time, leaving the remaining eleven to get their breakfast.

Hinata, Neji, Naruto, Tenten, Shino and Sasuke (much to Neji and Sakura's displeasure) occupied one table. Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Sakura and Kiba occupied the other. They were pleasantly chatting away.

"Tenten-chan," Hinata inquired, "What do you have today?"

"Hmm," Tenten said, pulling out her schedule, "I have double Math then Language before lunch. Then I have History after. Ooh, they've also put me for target practice and special weapons studies."

"I h-have double History t-then Language before lunch. Then I have another Language lesson after. They've put me for doujutsu mastering and medical studies," Hinata told Tenten.

"Hey," Naruto exclaimed, "I have the same first class as Hinata-chan! I get to spend time with her. Yay!"

He received a death glare from Neji but promptly ignored it. Hinata was blushing furiously and looked as if she was on the verge of fainting. Tenten was worried about Hinata's condition and went to her side. Shino and Sasuke just smirked.

At the other table, Ino and Sakura were comparing schedules as well, with Ino occasionally telling Chouji not to eat so loudly and knocking Shikamaru on the head so he would keep awake.

"Hmm," Ino said, "I have double Language and Math before lunch, then I have History afterwards. They've also put me for body control theorem. What about you, forehead-girl, what classes do you have?"

"Well, Ino-pig," Sakura drawled, "I have double History and Math before lunch, then another Math class. It seems like I've made the intelligence unit. I guess we have a class together, ne?"

The bell rang and the students quickly filed out the breakfast hall. Neji, Lee (he finished his laps), Tenten, Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji headed for building A while Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba (he left Akamaru in the dorm) and Shino headed for building B.

Let the classes begin.


Author's Note: Hm, I really enjoyed writing Naruto's hyper behaviour in this chapter. The Chouji, Kiba and Lee moments were fun too. One of my reviewers -hands them cookies- had asked about the Konoha Academy uniforms, well I hope this chapter answers your question! I have a question though, here in Canada we call our cooking class Family Studies, what is it called in the US? Please help! Reviews Please!
