Lazyfox: Hey I'm back with the next chapter and from what I saw I got some new reviewers and I think I might use an idea someone gave me in my reviews in this chapter.
Random: -limps on to the stage with bandages all over her body with cats dangling from her arms and legs- Ah the pain. It hurts so much. Why did you do this to me, do you know how long I had to endure with these cats chasing me and clawing me and now they won't leave me the hell alone.
Lazyfox: Too bad you shouldn't have tried to imply Yaoi on my show it was bad enough you allow Sasuke to torture my sweet little Neko Naruto, but for you to want poor lil Naruto to get raped by every evil pervert in the village is just too cruel
Random: Big deal you enjoy the stories, so why complain about them
Lazyfox: That maybe so, but still no Yaoi on this show here it's all about Naruko-Chan and Shikamaru-Kun.
Random: Just get it on with the show. My heart can't take much more of this hell. *Presses the red button*
Tsunade appears on stage strangling a bloody Jiraiya
Tsunade: The next time you try pip on me in the shower I will tear off you're…Wait where we are
Jiraiya: Oh no not this place again -groans-
Lazyfox: Hey you might want to thank me. I just saved you from getting killed by Tsunade -Smirks-
Jiraiya: Right. You want me to do the disclaimer again kid?
Lazyfox: Nope this time I want Tsunade to do it
Tsunade: What's a disclaimer? And where are we any way?
Lazyfox: -sighs- Just say I don't own Naruto and that it belongs to the Shounen jump people or to the old dude who made it.
Jiraiya: Didn't you just do that yourself?
Lazyfox: Damn you Jiraiya I save your ass and this is how you thank me well fine. Tsunade weren't you about to finish Jiraiya off for piping on you in the bath house again.
Tsunade: Oh yeah thanks for reminding me brat. Come on you pervert it's time to teach you a lesson on how to treat women.
*Drags the crying Jiraiya off stage*
Lazyfox: -smirks deviously- Don't start what you can't finish Bitch. NOW ON TO THE SHOW!
Early the next morning the sun raised above the sleeping village bring fourth it's bright streams of light. One stream of light pierced through Shikamaru's window and right into his sleeping face.
"Damn sun. Why does it have to be so bright I was having such a nice dream," Shikamaru thought blinking up his dopey eyes as he tried to get up and stretch out his muscles.
When he tried to get up he found out he had some extra weight on his chest. Looking down his chest he sees Naruko wrapped around his waist with her hair spread out around her. He looked at her face and she had a peaceful expression with her lips slightly parted with a little bit drool and soft breaths coming out of her mouth and had her bangs in her face.
"Wow Blue-eyes looks really nice and pretty when she's sleeping," he thought staring at Naruko and admired how the sun shined on her hair making her look like an angel with a golden halo on.
The feelings of someone gaze on her caused Naruko to stir. Naruko opened her eyes and yawned and blinked her eyes in confusion because she couldn't remember where she was.
Looking around for a moment trying to remember where she was still clutching what she believed was her pillow. Just then she remembered she stayed with Shikamaru and his parents last night and she also thought it was weird that her pillow was rising and falling. Naruko then hears a cough from above her and looks up to see Shikamaru staring at her with flushed cheeks.
"Morning Shika. How you sleep?" Naruko asked rubbing the sleet out one of her eyes while yawning.
"I slept okay. What about you?" he asked not meeting her gaze embarrassed by how she was cuddling his stomach.
"I slept fine. I like this pillow you got its super soft. Where ya get it from?" she asked him still cuddling with the "pillow."
"You're not cuddling with a pillow Blue-Eyes, that's my stomach," he tells her still flushed in the face.
Naruko looks down and sees he was right and that she was indeed lying on his stomach with her arms around him still. She squeals and jumps off Shikamaru and lands on the floor. Shikamaru looks over the bed and sees Naruko on her head with her legs bent over her head. He bursts out laughing at the sight of her.
"This isn't funny you jerk now help me up would ya," she demanded.
"The hell if it not man I wish I had a camera this is too funny," he says through his laughter as he helped her off the floor.
When she's back on her feet she straightens out her nightgown before she punches him in the arm.
"Hey what was that for?" he asked rubbing the spot she just punched.
"For laughing at me," she tells him crossing her arms over her chest pouting at him.
"Well it was funny and you would have laughed at me too if it happened to me you know," he countered.
"Yeah I guess your right about that. Hey let's go downstairs to see if your mom made breakfast," she suggested.
"Sure come on," he says leading the way to the dining room.
Naruko and Shikamaru walked into the dining room where they saw Shikaku reading the news paper and Yoshino making pancakes.
"Good morning Ms. and Mr. Nara," Naruko greeted as she and Shikamaru walked into the dining room to take a seat at the table.
"Morning you two. I'll have breakfast ready soon, so take a seat and I'll get your plates ready," Yoshino called out to them flipping the pancake she was cooking.
Naruko and Shikamaru sit in the same spot they sat in last night and waited for their food. Shikamaru laid his head on the table and tried to go back to sleep.
"Shika sit up you lazy bum. It's rude to try and sleep at the dinner table," Naruko scolded poking at his cheek to get him up.
"Quit nagging me troublesome girl. I'm still sleepy," he complained in his usual bored and tried voice giving out a loud yawn to prove his point.
"Oh you want to see troublesome you keep that up and my next master prank will be tested on you buster boy," Naruko warned knowing that'll get his attention..
"Okay, okay I'm up see," he tells her lifting his head off of the table.
"How you do that? I usually have to threaten to take shoji away for him to listen to me," Yoshino asked walking into the room with the food.
Naruko gave her a mischievous smile. "Shika's afraid to be pranked by me" she declared giggling a bit at the haunted look on Shikamaru's face.
"She doesn't kid around when she pranks a person. She either doses them with paint, sugar water, or sometimes if she's feeling evil she'll create this elaborate prank to get you with," he tells his parents as he shuttered at the last prank Naruko pulled on someone. "That poor cat I actually felt bad for the poor thing."
"It was her own fault for jumping into my Ramen. You should know not to mess with my Ramen because if you do your going to pay," Naruko says evilly with a menacing gleam in her sky blue eyes.
"You like ramen?" Shikaku asked looking up from his paper.
"Is the sky blue," Naruko replies in a sarcastic voice. "Who in their right mind wouldn't like ramen it like it was sent from heaven itself. I'm telling you I would eat it all day if Iruka-sensei would let me, but apparently I won't grow if I don't eat something beside ramen," she tells them bitterly sounding hurt about not getting to eat Ramen all day..
"Minato, Kushina she is diffidently your daughter," Shikaku thought amused by his new discovery. Shikaku let a small chuckle out. "You sound like an old friend of mine Naruko," he tells her still chuckling.
"Really who?" she asked him with her mouth full. (Sorry don't know how to write something when someone talks with their mouths full, so I hope you know want I meant to say.)
"No talking with your mouth full. Young ladies do not talk with food in their mouths," Yoshino scolded even though she found it adorable.
Naruko swallowed the food in her mouth. "Sorry, about that Ms. Yoshino. Bad habit," she confessed with a sly fox like grin on her face as she scratched the back of her head.
"Yep diffidently your daughter," Shikaku thought with another chuckle.
"So what do you kids have planned for today?" Yoshino asked.
"We're going to go to the park and later we're going to visit my Grandpa," Naruko tells them.
"That sounds like fun. Just be careful okay," Yoshino tells them.
"Don't worry mom we will," Shikamaru tells her as she and Naruko picked up the dishes to wash them.
"Naruko-chan you know you don't have to help me if you don't to," Yoshino tells her.
"I know, but I like helping with the chores. It feels normal to me," she tells her giving her a smile bringing her stack of dishes to the sink.
Yoshino gave her a small smile as she too placed her dishes in the sink and began to wash them while Naruko dried and put them away asking every once in a while where they went.
Soon the two of them finished the dishes and Naruko headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day. She starts off by brushing her teeth, and then she brushes the tangles out of her long blonde hair. She puts her hair up in pigtails like Yoshino did last night, but leaves a piece of her bangs out to go over her left eye. She then puts her clothes on. She wears a light baby blue colored shirt and black shorts with the standard blue Shinobi sandals her grandfather bought her.
Naruko looked herself over in the mirror and saw her ever so present whisker marks on her tan cheeks, but even thought she could see them clearly now she smiled brightly happy with her appearance. When she was finished she left the bathroom and went back to Shikamaru's room seeing him and ready to go while laying on the bed staring out the window.
"You ready to go Shika?" she asked from his doorframe.
Shikamaru glanced back at her giving a small nod. "Ready as I'll ever be" he said walking over to her after he finished stretching.
Naruko giggled at him and together they walked back into the living room to bid his parents goodbye before leaving. Together they walked to the park in silence ignoring the villagers that were giving Naruko hateful glares when they walked by.
Shikamaru gritted his teeth as he watched every adult they passed say something cruel about Naruko behind her back. "I really hate how these jerks treat you Blue-Eyes," he said growling underneath his breath.
"Just ignore them Shika. By now I think I've developed an immunity to their hatred. It doesn't bother me anymore," Naruko tells him faking a smile so he wouldn't worry about her.
Shikamaru sighed angrily hating when Naruko tried to hide her pain away. He wants her to open up to him not close him out. "Blue-eyes no mater how strong you are I know it bothers you, so please don't try and lie to me about how you feel" he says looking into her eyes with a serious expression on his face.
Naruko felt herself feeling that warm happy sensation again as she gazed into Shikamaru's brown eyes glad he was her friend. "Alright Shika I won't hide from you, but really there's nothing we can do if we can do about it," she tells him.
Shikamaru gave her a pleased smile glad she was starting to come around. "I know, but I like to fins out why they hate you so much. You've never done anything wrong to make them hate you and if they keep glaring at you I'm going to kick their freaking asses in a damn minute," he vows glaring at the villagers with his best death glare close to reaching his boiling point with these people.
Naruko gave a heart felt laugh at how irritated Shikamaru was getting. "Aw the lazy bum is actually going to do manual labor to defend me. I'm so touched," she teased faking a sniffle grinning at him.
Shikamaru crossed his arm looking slightly offended. "Hey I may be lazy, but that doesn't mean I'll put up with assholes picking on my friend," he tells her with a some what passionate voice.
Naruko's grin turned soft as she grabbed his hand. "Thank you Shikamaru. These past few months have been the happiest times of my life and it's thanks to you. I'm glad were friends," she tells him turning her grin into her biggest and brightest smile.
Shikamaru flushed a little under that smile and gave her one of his own as he tightened his grip on her hand. "No problem," he says softly pulling her along to continue their way to the park.
The duo finally made it to the park only to find that a bunch of kids in a circle talking to each other while others were yelling.
"Hey Shika want to go see what that's about?" Naruko asked.
"I don't think so. It looks to troublesome for us to get involved with," Shikamaru said only to be ignored as Naruko tugged over to the crowd..
"Come on lazy ass let's go. It looks like it'll be fun," she said giving him her fox like grin.
She tried to get them to the front, but it was no use because the crowd was too packed for them to squeeze through. Naruko ducked down since she was able to see through the gasps to see that two kids around Shikamaru's age in the center of the crowd. One boy had raven hair with cold onyx eyes and the other boy had light brown hair. The brown haired boy was a little chubby and had red swirls on each of his cheeks indicating he was from the Akimichi clan.
Naruko wondered what the boys were doing to cause this many kids to crowd around them. Just then the raven haired boy said something and got Naruko's full attention.
"So fatso are you going to apologize or not," the raven haired boy demanded.
"For what it was accident. I didn't mean to bump into you," the brown haired boy said.
"You still need to apologize to me fatso you touched me with your fat self," the raven haired boy stated.
Naruko blood started to boil at how that jerk kept talking to the brown haired boy. What right did that boy have to demand someone to apologize for an accident. This sort of reminded her of how the villagers treated her.
"That jackass is asking for a beating. Why won't someone take up for the big guy," Naruko thought as she clenched her fists together.
"Say your sorry fatso before I beat the fat off of you," said the raven haired boy as he took a step closer to the chubby boy ready to punch him in his rounded belly.
The raven haired boy was about to strike the boy when Naruko jumped in and blocked the attack by getting hit instead.
The crowd was shocked that Naruko jumped in the middle of a fight that had nothing to do with her. The only one who wasn't shocked was Shikamaru he was just mad that someone dared to lay a hand on Naruko.
"Hey jackass what right do you have to pick on him, He said it was an accident so leave him alone," Naruko growled looking straight at the boy who punched her.
The crowd gasped at Naruko's boldness. No one's ever talked to the raven boy like that and got away with it. Naruko couldn't see what was so great about this boy, to her he was just another bully who needed to get his ass kicked.
"Who the hell are you to talk to me like that," the raven haired boy growled glaring furiously at her.
"I believe I'm talking to a jackass who doesn't know how to treat people and has a fifty foot pole stuck up his ass," Naruko replied giving the boy one of her own glares.
"You better shut up. You have no idea who your dealing with dobe," the raven haired boy said through clenched teeth.
"Go head and try it you stupid emo teme," Naruko countered giving him the bring it on pose.
The boy roared and charged at Naruko with his fist drawn back ready to swing at her, but Naruko saw that coming and dodged the attack. The boy kept swing at her, but she kept dodging. The boy grew tried and started wobbling due to exhaustion.
"Hey where'd all your smack talk you were spewing go? Don't tell me your tried. I haven't even thrown a punch yet," Naruko said without a scratch on her.
"Shut the hell up and stand still already!" shouted the pissed off boy.
"Aw is the big bad ass bully frustrated I'm sorry. Hey maybe the next time you think your better then someone you'll think twice about it," Naruko mocked knowing she was getting under the boy's skin.
The boy got so pissed he charged at her blindly and tried to hit her again, but Naruko just dodged to the left and the boy tripped and fell to the ground hard.
The crowd of on lookers laughed at the boy except some of his fan girls who stared at the girl with hatred in their eyes. While Shikamaru stood to the side watching the fight smirking proudly at how well Naruko was handling this situation.
"Your too blinded by your rage to concentrate on your moves that I can see right through them. Listen you can't beat me and you know that, so you can keep trying to hit me, but you won't so just walk away before you face any more humiliation," Naruko tells him standing tall and proud with her arms crossed over her chest.
"How dare you hurt Sasuke-Kun you evil bitch!" screeched a banshee like voice from inside the crowd.
A pink haired girl with a red hair bow in her hair with a giant forehead pushed her way to the front and glared at Naruko as she went to help Sasuke off of the ground.
"It's not Naruko's fault your precious Sasuke lost to her, so I suggest you leave her alone Sakura" Shikamaru said walking through the crowd to stand next to Naruko.
"Shika you know these two?" Naruko asked pointing towards the downed duo.
"Yea, that's Sakura Hurano one of Sasuke's millions of fan girls and the douche bag you just humiliated is Sasuke Uchiha," Shikamaru tells her.
"So thats is the brooding prick you told me about. I take back what I said before he really is as bad as you said he was," she told him.
"Told you so, but it was funny to watch you put him in his place like that," he tells her.
A small shuffle sounded behind them getting their attention. Turning around they saw the Akimichi boy standing behind them. "Um ah thank you for standing up for me," said the brown haired boy with a blush on his face.
"No problem. It was my pleasure to knock that jerk down a peg or two," Naruko said smiling at him.
"I'm Choji by the way it's nice to meet you…" Choji said pausing hoping to get their names.
"Naruko and it's nice to meet you too Choji. This is my best friend Shikamaru," Naruko tells him pointing to the lazy looking boy.
"Yeah nice too meet you. I think we've seen each other at school," Shikamaru tells him.
"Yeah we have, but really thank you for sticking up for me. I'm sorry you got punched because of me," he says to Naruko.
"Hey no problem I didn't mind. It didn't even hurt," she proclaims.
"You know your so cool. You stood up to Sasuke the coolest and most popular kid in school," Choji said admiring the blond haired girl making her blush.
"Aww it was nothing I just wanted him to learn not to pick on others. It's just not right," Naruko tells him.
"Umm would you guys mind if I hung out with you?" Choji asked.
Naruko smiled happily at the prospect of making a new friend. "Nope I don't mind at all" She says giving him a sincere smile. "Do you Shika?"
Shikamaru saw how Naruko's face lit up and admitted he could never deny her anything when she look that happy. "Nah. It's cool with me."
"Yay~ That means you can come with me and Shika to visit my Grandpa," Naruko said excitedly taking off toward the Hokage Tower leaving the males of the group behind.
"Damn, she's as troublesome as ever," Shikamaru muttered following after her at his usual pace though keeping his sharp eyes on her to make sure no one messed with her.
"So is she always that hyper?" Choji asked following Shikamaru.
"You have no idea. Sometimes it's a drag being around her, but you get used to it after a while," Shikamaru explained.
Choji laughed at that. "I like her. She's really nice. Many people don't stick up for strangers, but she did and I think that's cool. I wonder if she would mind being my friend? He wondered.
"Hn. Don't worry you already are," Shikamaru tells him.
"How do you know that?" Choji asked him.
"She always takes her friends to visit her grandfather. I should know she did the same thing with me when we became friends," Shikamaru tells him.
"Who is her grandfather?" Choji asked.
"You'll find out when we get there," Shikamaru said hiding the smirk on his face.
The two boys finally caught up to the blonde haired girl who waited for them at the front of the tower entrance.
"Man you two are so slow. I could have already gone up to see Grandpa and be back by the time you guys got her" Naruko complained to them.
"We're not slow your just too fast Blue-Eyes," Shikamaru countered poking her forehead affectionately.
"Whatever you say Shika. Come on we can't leave grandpa waiting," Naruko said walking into the Hokage Tower.
Once inside the trio passed by Cat and Dog who where standing in the man hall waiting for their orders.
"Hi Nee-Chan, Onii-chan. What are you two doing?" Naruko asked hugging her siblings.
Yugao smiled picking Naruko up hugging the girl tightly. "We're waiting for our mission assignment. What about you guys and who's your new friend?" she asked.
"That's Choji. I just saved him from a bully," Naruko tells her.
At the mention of a bully Kakashi noticed a large fist print on Naruko's left cheek which made him scowl under his mask. "Is that who hurt you?" he asked going into his over protective brother mood.
"Yeah, but it's fine. I thought him a lesson. And no I didn't hit him," Naruko tells him before he could asked the question she knew he was about to ask her.
"Good girl now go see your grandfather before he starts to worry about you," Kakashi said petted her on the head before leaving with Yugao to begin their mission.
"Who were they?" asked Choji.
"My big brother and sister. Their also my Anbu guards that grandpa put on me to keep me safe," Naruko tells him.
"Who's your grandfather?" Choji asked.
"Don't worry your about to met him," Naruko said walking up the stairs to the Third's office.
Naruko knocked on the door and waited for her to be invited inside. When she heard a "come in" she went inside the room followed by Choji and Shikamaru.
"Ah Naru-Chan how are you dear?" Hiruzen asked filling out another document placing in on the complete pile.
"I'm fine grandpa. I just wanted you to met my new friend Choji," Naruko said happily pushing Choji in front of her for her grandfather to met the boy.
"You have a new friend that spectacular Naruko that makes me very happy to hear that," Hiruzen said with a smile on his face. "How did you met your new friend?"
Naruko told him what happened between her and Sasuke. Hiruzen was very upset to hear that the boy hit his little Naru-chan, but was very pleased to hear that Naruko stood up for the Akimichi boy.
"Well I very pleased to hear you stood up for him, but please try not to get in trouble. I get enough complaints from the villagers about your little pranks," Hiruzen says with a smile on his face.
"I try my best grandpa," she tells him with her best smile in place.
"Well, how would you three about joining me for diner tonight at my house. My oldest son is coming home and I would like you all to met him," Hiruzen tells them.
"Sure, but I have to ask my parents," Shikamaru tells him.
"I have too as well sir," Choji remarked still a little surprised to be in the presence of the Third Hokage.
"Understood. You may also invite them as well. I hope to see you guys tonight," Hiruzen tells them.
"Bye Blue-Eyes see you tonight," Shikamaru said walking out the door ruffling her hair as he left smirking at her pout.
"Yeah see you tonight Naruko," Choji said walking out the office as well.
Naruko waited until her friends were out of the office before turning to her grandfather. "Grandpa what are you planning?" she asked knowing that the old man was up to something.
"You'll see little one, you'll see," he tells her with a sly grin he picked up from his granddaughter and Ex-wife.
