CHAPTER 1

First Day of Summer Vacation!! Part One

Ok, sry it took me so long to update, I was brain dead and I couldn't find the will to do anything, but I'm bored so I forced myself to sit down and type this up, so here you go! I decided to make this several sections just to show how they act and just explain more stuff. Plz R&R and yada yada.

MIKA & YUMI'S ROOM, 8 AM,

MIKA POV

"Yes! Wake up Yumi! Don't just lay there like lazy Shikamaru-sama!" I yelled at my little sister, Yumi, as I bounced up and down on her bed. "It's the first day of summer vacation! No more school!" I squealed. I don't like school, and the big kids told me that school isn't going to be as fun as kindergarten was.

"Noo…I don't wanna get up, you said school is over, so I can sleep in." Yumi whispered, not bothering to lift her head.

"Come on! Let's go outside and meet everybody by the big tree! I know that Aoi is gonna be there, so Kagemaru is coming!" I teased. I could see her blushing even though she tried to hide it. There is a big tree in the Konaha Park that nobody but the eight of us know about, Shinhana found it when she was exploring the park, and she told me, and we told the rest of our group. We are called the Konaha Adventurers, cuz we do all sorts of funny and adventurous stuff, just like our parents did, and they were all best friends their whole lives.

"Why do you always use that against me? I bet you're just upset that there isn't anyone you love!" Yumi said, sitting up suddenly, about to cry. I wrapped my arms around her.

"Yumi, what's wrong?"

"K-Kagema-ru. He doesn't like me at all!" She sobbed, she cries about that a lot, but she cries about a lot of things. "At least you have Shioku!"

I looked at her, confused. "Wait, what do you mean I have Shioku?" I asked. Her eyes widened like she realized she wasn't suppose to say anything, and then she shook her head, hopped out of bed and over to her closet.

"What did you mean by that Yumi?" She didn't turn around. I could tell she was lying, but she was very loyal to people, and I might make her cry again if I tried to make her choose to lie or not. I dropped the subject, and ran down the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line Page Breaker Thingy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Daaaaa-diiiiii!!!!" I screamed when I made it to my parent's room. I jumped up and started pulling on Daddy's hair, trying to get him to wake up.

"Naruto…." Mommy whispered, she did that a lot when she was dreaming. She opened her eyes a little. "Yes, Mika?" she asked me.

"Can me and Yumi go to the park?"

"Yes, now will you please get off your father?" She asked, snuggling up to him and kissing his cheek. I made a face.

"Ewww…." I hurried away from them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Switching POV Thingy^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SHINHANA POV- KONAHA PARK

As usual, I was the first one to the big tree. I had my hair pulled back in a loose pony tail, little extra bits of my hair falling out, just the kind of hairstyle that would drive Mom crazy. I remember waking up and trying to leave the house with my hair unbrushed and ratty from sleep.

~FLASHBACK~

"Where do you think you're going with your hair looking like that?!" I heard my mom yell when I was trying to sneak out without her noticing. She stood in the kitchen, eating cereal with chocolate chunks. (2 things she would NEVER do, eat chocolate cereal and be up before 10, but her new baby, who I hope is a girl, is craving chocolate at 8 in the morning) I went up to her, and whispered, "Going to the park."

Her eyes softened. She knew me, how I wasn't very girly like her, but not a tomboy either. She knelt down as best she could, being 7 months pregnant. "Honey, I know you don't like messing around with your hair and all that crap, but you should at least brush it, look presentable for….Hiro." Her eyes twinkled when she said my crushes' name. I'm always going to regret telling her I like him.

After much arguing and begging, I agreed to let her brush my hair and put it up. "You're very beautiful, you know that hon?" She told me as she stroked my hair in her bathroom. "I had always wished my hair was so shiny like this." She said, her eyes glazing over.

"Mom, can you just finish up with my hair? Mom? MOM! INO!!" I resorted to calling her by her first name to get her attention. Her eyes widened and she laughed.

"Sorry Shinhana! I'm almost done!" She quickly wrapped my long hair up in a ponytail, and then grabbed her stomach. I jumped up from my chair and went to her side, calling for my dad to come quickly.

He came running in and put his hand on her huge belly. "Ino, INO? What is it?" He said, panicking. Mom stood up slightly, her eyes shining.

"Oh, I'm o-k; this baby's even more of a kicker than Shinhana was." Dad wrapped his arms around her, laughing over the kicking baby. I put my head down, Is this what my life is going to become? The baby this, the baby that.

"Bye. I'm going to the park now." I said, and then sadly walked away.

"Bye." They said, not looking up.

~END FLASHBACK~

I sighed. I was so bored and lonely, I hope Mika and Yumi will show up soon, Yumi will listen and understand, and Mika is good at cheering me up. I sat in one of the low branches, waiting for someone to come. I had taken most of my hair out of the ponytail so my hair was blowing everywhere.

"Shinhana?" I jumped at the sudden voice, one I recognized very easily.

"Hiro?" I whispered.

"Hey! Shinhana! You're always the first one here aren't you?" Hiro laughed, waving from the ground. I tried not to stare at his bright brown eyes, but I did anyway and blushed. He looked at me curiously. "Are you feeling ok? You're turning red!"

Darn it. Mom was right; I do blush like Auntie Hinata. (I've been told to call all of the adults my Aunt or Uncle.) I waved slightly. "Hi, Hiro, yeah, I guess I get here early, and um, yea I'm fine." I called to him. He smiled at me, I smiled back, but I could tell the smile didn't reach my eyes.

He raised an eyebrow at me, (which THANK GOD, looked nothing like Rock Lee's) and asked, "What is it, Shinhana? You look really sad."

I shook my head, "It's nothing."

He came up and sat next to me on the branch. "I can tell its something, you look lonely and I bet you want to tell me what it is!" He said, looking superior like Uncle Neji did sometimes. I smiled at him.

"You know how my mom is gonna have a baby?"

"Yeah, I think you're lucky, I with I had a sibling." Hiro said. I put my head down, thinking back. Did I ever wish I had a brother or sister? Well, I don't anymore. Hiro and I were the only one of the Konaha Adventurers that didn't have any siblings.

"Well, I don't. I felt so left out this morning…" I told him about how my parents had acted. (Of course I skipped what she said to me about him.) When I finished, Hiro nodded, understanding why I was upset.

"Yeah, I bet you feel left out, I remember that Shioku felt ignored by his parents when Isha was born. He has always been my best friend, so I was there with him, and I bet if we stay by your side, you won't feel as left out. And maybe you can bond with your parents with the baby, and teach it things, since you're so smart." He said, smiling happily.

I looked in his eyes and accidentally let out a flirty giggle Mom had taught me. "Thank you, Hiro. You made me feel a lot better."

He smiled a secretive smile that was like Uncle Neji's as well. "Anytime," And he wrapped and arm around my shoulders and gave me a friendly hug. "For one of my friends." The blush that was spending around my cheeks vanished and I suppressed a sigh. One of my friends….

Then I realized what my mom would want me to do. I know he thinks of me as a friend now, but we're young, I have plenty of time to win him over! And I WILL!!
