Disclaimer: -sigh- Naruto belongs to me…in my dreams only. (Clever, eh? Keeping the same disclaimer with each chapter. Huh, huh, huh? –elbows you-) I do that to people a lot, the whole elbow and eh thing.

Chapter two! I don't have to worry about finishing because it's early in the morning right now instead of late at night so I'll be able to put loads more detail and good writing as opposed to Mr. Rushed Chapter back there. The next characters are introduced so keep reading to find out about them. Remember, I trying to make them all have the typical teenager personalities so if Shikamaru says 'Awesome!' than don't kill me (omg, he would never say that! Not even in my story. It's too weird.).

Sankyuu!

Last five character profiles:

Tenten – Giggly, girly, and trendy. She knows fashion like the back of her hand and often is scene with a magazine wearing the newest thing.

Temari – Rebellious, back-talker, and spunky. She's that one girl that always says what's on her mind and means it.

Shikamaru – Lazy, trouble-causing, and doubtful. He's a brainiac, but is often in the equivalent of detention for pulling pranks and is often lazy.

Rock Lee – Crazy,ambitious,and determined. He's determined alright, but he can't focus on task for more than a few minutes and is sort of teacher-pet-y.

Neji – Rich, good-looking, and judgmental. He is a major pretty-boy and has the major cash, but he judges a little too much.

Chapter Two

.d.a.y.o.n.e.

(a.n// Naruto has no romantical interest yet…including Hinata and Sakura. Sakura is a friend and Naruto is a little slow when it comes to things such as Hinata's crush on him.)

"Rise and shine! Come and meet your new teammates!" Kakashi slid open the canvas door and Gai was already opening the curtains so that soft rays of sunshine peeked through.

Naruto stretched and said in a lazy and an I-told-you-so voice, "I knew I could wake up at four in the 'effing morning. Look, I even feel refreshed," he turned in a diagonal angle. "Right Sakura-chan?"

"Mmm," she muttered and shook her head, but she was too busy looking through a duffel bag for something.

"Um, Naruto…its noon," Ino corrected him. "We have all been up since seven waiting for you," she checked her fingernails nonchalantly.

"Yeah, dobe," Sasuke smirked and ruffled his already messy, dark hair.

"God! Why do always have to be so damn good-looking. I always hear girls talking about 'Sasuke-kun'," Naruto whined. "I just don't see what they see in you."

"Isn't it obvious?" Ino said while brushing her silky, blonde hair that cascaded all the way down her back since it wasn't in the usual ponytail. "Sasuke-kun always wants something and he always gets what he wants because he always knows how to get it."

"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto squealed in a complaining tone.

"N-not everyone likes Sasuke-kun," Hinata spoke up.

"Name one person, Hinata-chan!" Naruto pouted.

"U-u-um…" Hinata struggled to think of someone. "M-m-m-me," she said quietly.

"Hinata-chan!" Ino yelped.

Sakura just gaped at her, her mouth wide open.

"Hinata-chan…erm, do you like," Naruto scratched the back of his head and Hinata blushed, "umm…girls?" he whispered.

Everyone collapsed. Hinata fainted.

"Naruto! You can be so stupid sometimes," Sakura yelled while making her way across the futons to his and proceeding to strangle him. "Just because she doesn't like Sasuke-kun doesn't mean that she doesn't like boys!"

"Yeah, talk about dense," Ino laughed while putting her hair back up in a ponytail.

"Baka," Sasuke pulled Sakura's wrist lightly so she fell down next to him.

After a moment of awkward silence Kakashi continued, "Well, um, get dressed then and come into the courtyard for breakfast."

Sasuke stood up leaving a confused Sakura staring at her wrist. Ino snorted in jealousy. "Well," she pursed her lips. "I'll be outside." And with that, she left Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto alone.

Naruto was already asleep so the girls agreed that they could change into regular clothes. Kakashi had told them the night before that they wouldn't be training the next day because it was Sunday, chore day. Sakura changed into her more normal clothes, a pink, flowing skirt and white tank top with a red jacket. (a.n// This outfit is inspired by my brother's girlfriend.) Hinata wore navy pants rolled up to her knees and a light purple sweatshirt.

"Na-ru-to!" Sakura screamed into his ear and shaking him, he just continued sleeping.

"J-just leave him Sakura-chan," Hinata stuttered quietly, attempting not to wake him. "Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei will be waiting for us."

Outside on the courtyard, five more teenagers were waiting patiently. Or not. One with spiky brown hair in a ponytail was saying something containing the words 'troublesome' and 'Temari'. The girl next to him stuck up a fist and aimed it at his face. He laughed mockingly, but not for long. A minute later, he was collapsed on the ground.

Ino whooped. "I think I like this chick already!"

Shikamaru, the boy who had just been clobbered to the ground, rubbed his head at sat up. Ino leaned over him, but he couldn't focus so all her saw was a blurry outline of her bangs brushing his forehead. "Wow, Temari, you hit him hard," Ino gaped in awe and admiration.

Sakura sat down and surveyed the rest of the group while Ino was busy chatting up her new friend, Temari, who seemed uninterested but tried to keep her gaze on Ino. The boy Shikamaru sat back up and continued to rub his head. There was another boy with long, dark hair wearing a golden watch. He saw Sakura looking at him and threw back his long hair so that he was facing in a different direction. She could hear him mutter something like 'peasant' and snarled. The girl next to him laughed and walked over to Sakura, a magazine in hand.

She had chocolate-cherry eyes and glossy lips; they were like Sakura's except for the girl's weren't chapped. From the two buns on either side of her head came a strand of curled hair that framed her face when she bent down and giggled at Sakura.

"Don't mind Neji," she said. "He doesn't get out much."

Sakura wasn't listening though because something else had just caught her attention. "OMG!" Sakura screamed-whispered into Tenten's ear. "Look at his eyebrows!" Tenten nodded and laughed.

The boy was looking at Naruto and Sasuke going at each other with insults (a.n// Naruto woke up.). His bowl cut and eyebrows were black and he wore some sort of tight, green sweat suit. Sakura looked away, but not before Lee noticed her.

Eventually, all the introductions were taken care of. Ino was still sour with Sakura and decided to preoccupy herself with Temari and her 'hot outfit'. Shikamaru leaned against the building while everyone else was eating. Sasuke kept tapping Naruto on the shoulder, but turning away before Naruto turned around. Sakura laughed at this and Tenten tried desperately to strike up a conversation with Neji, who focused on his food and the newspaper in front of him. Tenten turned away and sighed.

"Who keeps tapping my shoulder?!" Naruto whined.

.Ino and Shikamaru.

After breakfast, Kakashi-sensei explained the rules for chores. The list was posted on the front of the sliding door and Ino excitedly ran toward it to see if she was paired with Sasuke. She ran her manicured nails down the sheet and sighed because next to Sasuke's name was none other than Sakura. She continued looking and found her name in tiny letters and looked to the left.

"Shikamaru?" she read out loud. "Hey, he's the one Temari burned!"

Shikamaru was leaning against his tree, waiting for the 'crowd' at the list to die down, but his eyes shot open when he heard in a sing-song voice, "Shi-ka-kun!" and something latched onto his arm. He looked down to find the one and only drama and beauty queen, Ino Yamanaka.

Ino looked up at him with glinting eyes. "We have to make lunch, Shika-kun!"

He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his free hand and began to stroll towards the kitchens. "Shika-kun, do you know where you're going?"

"I have a hunch," he muttered, and sure enough they arrived in the back of the house and at an open door with a golden plaque that read 'Kitchens'.

Ino squealed, "Wow, Shika-kun! You really are smart! How'd you know?"

He pointed to a red arrow on the other side of the wall from where they came reading 'Kitchens'. Other red arrows were pointing all over the place, some said things like 'Bedrooms' or 'Hallway' and even one said 'Basement Bathrooms'. Ino furrowed her brow and scowled, but continued to lead him into the room by his arm, on which she was still latched onto.

Ended with Shika-Ino because they are my second favorite couple…tied with Naruto and Hinata, though. Just went to the dentist. YUUUUCKK. Ewww…still bad taste in my mouth. MY dentist is really nice, but just the thought of the gross water-spout thing and the suction thing grosses me out.
