~Fu~
She woke up early that morning, just before the sun rose. She quickly and quietly slipped away from bed noticing Shadow "meditating." She was sure he'd fallen asleep like that to protect her. God he always goes so far to protect me. She went downstairs to make breakfast hoping to surprise him with breakfast in bed. She walked down the hall the stairs and proceeded downstairs and just as she turned on the stove she heard the stamp of feet. Well so much for bed in breakfast. She didn't hear anything for a minute she thought he went back to bed. Her smile never leaving her face. She was truly happy here. She felt her waist being attacked by a familiar set of arms.

"Gmorning o' great meditator" She said as her 'attacker' tightened his hug around her.

"Oh you saw that hehe whoops." He blushed taking one hand away to scratch his cheek in embarrassment. He let her go and waited for her to serve breakfast. Once severed he scarfed it down and quickly went to take a shower she was surprised, when he heard a scuttle of feet signifying that he had left she went upstairs and showered when she had finished and went into their room some clothes were laid out for her with a note.

"Dear Fuu,
Here beautiful, I bought you some new clothes. Specifically for today and onward, I got you a few other special things. I'll let you know when I hope you'll wear them…If you don't mind. Well anyways I hope you enjoy the wear I got you. Some special kunai's of mine as well. I'll always be watching you today and forever don't worry. At this point she blushed. Well I'll be waiting for you beautiful I hope you like my outfit. Got it just too please you.
With much love,
Shadow

With that she put the note aside smiling she looked at the clothes he'd picked out for her. He knew her well. A white top small and A bra. Shorts and a fishnet bottom for under the shorts. She enjoyed it and he left tape and a kunai pouch for her. She quickly geared up and walked downstairs. Her eyes opened as she saw what he was wearing. He was wearing something he thought he looked extremely handsome in. He was wearing a tux. No ninja gear on him at least that she could see.

~Shadow~

He was extremely uncomfortable. Granted he had his regular clothes underneath and he had all his ninja tools on him. He was determined not to let ANYONE ruin this day for her. They walked out hand and hand.

"Know what?" He said casually.

"What?" She asked curious.

He didn't speak until they reached the academy. "You'll find out how much I care about you today."

"Oh really?" She said smirking "what's to say I don't already know that you…." She stopped herself love me she thought to herself.

"Hm? Well you'll find out. Now let's go" He took her hand and walked into the classroom immediately everyone gasped. For three obvious reasons: firstly that the 'freak' was here. Secondly that Shadow was here and thirdly that Shadow brought that freak. Immediately girls flocked to him trying to push her away from her. He quickly grabbed her around pushed his way through the crowd making sure they didn't even touch her.

"ALRIGHT SETTLE DOWN!" Iruka said. Everyone sat down as they took places Shadow and Fuu in the back away from everyone. He was holding her. Glaring at everyone who stared.

"Team Seven: Shadow, Fuu-

"BUT SHE CAN'T BE ON HIS TEAM HE'S TOO GOOD FOR HER!"

"And Sasuke."

"THAT'S OUTRAGOUS SHE GETS THE MOST POWERFUL GENNIN AND DIDN'T EVEN DO THE ACADEMY!" Ino and Sakura shout.

"Shadow let's go" Fuu said quietly.

"No give me a minute beautiful." He says quietly until beautiful and he says that loud enough for everyone to hear.

"EH HER? BEAUTIFUL?!" Ino shouts.

"Yeah she is beautiful. Deal with it." Shadow says coldly then he turns too Fuu and kisses her in front of everyone. They immediately try to rush her away from his lips. He just steps back slightly separating them and pulling a kunai out. "Anyone who has a problem with my thinking Fuu is beautiful, gorgeous even. Fight me after school I'll be waiting there for 30 minutes with my beautiful princess here."
~Fuu~

His princess, who would that be? Surely not her? Though all the same she knew he meant her. While they waited all the girls assembled and the guys watched from afar knowing this wouldn't end well.

He changed out of his tux and into his battle clothes and waited outside for the others to show which they most undoubtly would.

"We don't wanna fight you Shadow you're perfect. She's too good for you come with me." Ino says seductively. Shadow please don't give in. She looked into his eyes and saw he was un phased.

~Shadow~

"No, back off or I'll beat your ass' into the ground this is my girl my life my joy my everything back off I'm warning you now." The guys could tell he was serious so they stepped in to fight.

"If you're fighting them you'll fight us all at once." Kiba said confidently

"Fine by me. Fuu I'm going to cause some heavy damage I want you to stand back promise not to get involved."

"I promise" she said without hesitation. With that she stepped back jumping back the girls running towards her but shadow was fully ready now.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" 10 clones of Shadow appeared and blocked the girls. The guys started to run to fight the clones which easily dispelled.

"Fuck you Shadow." Kiba shouted and started to spin (A/N: Not a full fang but partially) Before he could get a full rotation going he fell over as if he was dizzy then fell over blood coming out of his mouth.

"Get away from my girlfriend you little shit!" He said as Choji tried to run at Fuu with a punch. He quickly threw a kunai. It hit Choji in the back of the head and he fell over.

"Your girlfriend," Ino spat. "What's so good about her that I don't have!"

-Flash back-

After Shadow had changed he had come out to find Fuu being harassed again. He quickly bashed the males for being stupid idiots.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine I'm just embarrassed."

"Why?"

"You called me your princess and basically pledged undying loyalty to me"

"Why wouldn't I. You've lived with me in the same house the same room the same bed for the past 6 months."

"I suppose but we're only 13 (A/N: They had a birthday respectively about 2 weeks apart from each other half way through the training months)

"Yeah well my nindo has been to protect you and I'm doing that with or without your consent."

"You have my consent."

"Well in that case I pose to you a question."

"Huh?" She said blushing. She had a feeling she knew what question he was going to ask her. But before he even asked her he kissed her again. She kissed him back not ashamed of kissing this boy.

"Will you go out with me?"

"Yes. I will."

"Okay let's go wait princess."

"Alright."

-End Flashback-

"Yeah my girlfriend got a problem with that?" With that he punches her in the stomach and kicked her back only to have Sasuke catch her. "As for what's better about her everything. For starters she isn't an immature fan girling worthless BRAT!"

"Shadow ENOUGH. If you're going to fight them at least fight me one on one and let that FREAK fight the class."

Shadow's eye twitched…he just called her a freak. "I don't care if you're my brother, my surrogate brother my leaf comrade my squad comrade. No one insults Fuu like that"

"SHE'S A FREAKKK!" the entire class shrieks at her (excluding Shikamaru)

"Fuu I'm sorry I have to do this."

"I understand" she said sorrowfully that the kids were about to experience some severe pain.

"Blue Blade" he said and slashed with his sword which he unsheathed a moment before. Sasuke blocked it but it broke his kunai all the others excluding Shikamaru got huge cuts in their guts. "Shikamaru run to the medical core and get Tsunade's this was a weak attack but it gravely injured them."

"Roger." With that he sped off.

"Now Sasuke you punk. You owe my girlfriend an apology.

"I'm sorry Fuu."

"Better be she said reproachfully.

"Now let us go meet our sensei." Shadow said rolling his eyes at Fuu. Reintroduction for us but I digress.

A/N: Well I wanted to wait till the wave arc for them to start dating but the wave arc is in two chapters and it was fitting here. Honestly I hate the way they treated Sasuke like a god in the anime and he kind of ignored it. So I made Shadow resent it and detest it when they insulted Fuu. Sasuke has a lot to learn. He won't catch up for a long time. If ever really. Also the next chapter will be the survival exercise Sasuke is basically doing it alone considering both Shadow and Fuu have passed it individually but will pretend to have to take it too keep Sasuke from feeling like a fool. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy R&R's are always welcome! –Signing out
