Riku: OMG there's a game room and a jacuzzi here!
Naruko sat inside her hospital room looking outside the window watching the birds flying in the clear blue sky with the clouds gently passing by. Three days have passed since she was brought to the hospital and in that time she has been placed under their care for a psyche evaluation. Everyone of her doctors believe she has been driven to a mental breakdown for her story of the masked man even when Mikoto woke up and too claimed Itachi's involvement in her attack and the death of her husband and clan mates.
"Was I wrong? Is everyone right and I only just imagine the masked man so I didn't have to face the truth about Itachi-nii?" Naruko thought sadly as she watched the clouds.
Seconds later she got flicked in the forehead that startled her to look up to see Shikamaru frowning at her. "Blue-eyes your doing it again. Stop doubting yourself before you really do make yourself go crazy" he says sternly before ruffling up her hair. "Besides not everyone thinks your making the story up so you don't either" he tells her as he sat back down at the shoji game he was playing against Hinata.
Naruko blinked after him before a warm smile appeared on her once somber face glad to know her best friend and friends believed in her. "Who said I thinking about that? I sick of being in this boring place and thanks to those stupid doctors I missed my date with Lee to the Ramen festival" she whined hotly while pouting cutely.
Shikamaru hid his growing smirk on his face. He admit he hated the doctors for trying to prove his best friend was mental unstable, but he could give them a little leeway for making her miss her date with his supposed love rival.
"Aww do not fret my lovely Naru-Chan I'm sure we can reschedule our date for Ichiraku's when your are released from here" Lee said walking into her room smiling brightly as he placing a vase of Tiger lilies on her bedside table which caused Naruko to smile and Shikamaru to frown.
"Thanks a bunch Bushy-Brow. Your so awesome" Naruko said happily giving her busy eyebrow friend a huge hug.
"My pleasure Naru-Chan" Lee said returning the hug shooting a smug look towards Shikamaru giving him a thumbs up.
Shikamaru shot daggers at the older boy before snorting in disapproval as he slammed his shoji piece on the board making Hinata and Choji sweat-drop at the boys outward expression of jealousy.
Hinata looked at the board and saw she had been checkmated. "G...Good game S..Shikamaru-K..Kun" she said softly towards her opponent.
"Oh come on I thought you were doing a really good job Hinata. I almost thought you could win" Choji grumbled feeling bad for the blue haired girl.
"Its all right Choji-kun. It was a fun game that's all that matters" Hinata tells him feeling proud of herself for coming close to beating Shikamaru and for not stuttering finding both task to be huge accomplishments for her.
"Good luck with that. Shika's the best strategies in the world, it'll take a miracle or his father to beat him" Naruko giggled making Shikamaru feel smug from her praise until she mentioned his father which made him give her a tiny glare.
"Thanks for the complement Blue-eyes" Shikamaru remarked sarcastically.
"Your welcome~" Naruko replied in a sing-song voice making everyone laugh or in Shikamaru's case chuckle.
As the friends shared in each others laughter they heard a loud knock come at the door. Naruko gave a shout of ok for the person to come in. The door opened were a nurse walked in holding a tray of food or what Naruko like to call it 'gross-green-mush-meat'.
"Lunch time" the nurse said through a forced smile as she placed the tray on Naruko's feeding table before making a quick exit out of the room.
"Wow she made a new record. She's the fastest nurse I had the last few days" Naruko commented as poked at the green mush on her tray.
"I think it moved" Choji informed everyone feeling his stomach turn at the sight of the meal.
"Anyone else up for escaping this place to go get some Ramen" Naruko suggested as she moved her tray away when she swears to kami the mush winked at her.
Shikamaru calmly took the tray off the table and chucked the poor excuse for a meal out the window on to the bushes down below killing them instantly. "Yep lets go. If they been trying to feed you that you must be starving" he said his eye twitching in slight anger.
"Not really starving since Sasuke-teme gives me his" Naruko informed putting on her shoes.
"Speaking of which, where is Sasuke-Kun?" Hinata asked.
"Well, they released him yesterday, so I haven't seen him since then. He might be with Mikoto-sensei and Ojii-San" Naruko tells her jumping out of the bed when another knock came at the door and opened to revel Iruka-sensei and her appointed Psychiatrist.
"I knew you were close to planning your escape" Iruka said sternly, but because of the amusement shining in his face he fooled no one especially not his blond haired pupil.
Naruko blew him a raspberry just to prove he wasn't fooling her before running over to give him a hug one he happily returned.
"Troublesome brat" Iruka teased.
"Hey no stealing my catchphrase" Shikamaru called out. "Troublesome thefts" he muttered making everybody laugh.
The Psychiatrist himself couldn't stop from letting out a fond chuckle at the playful scene. "Well, Ms. Uzumaki I hate to foil your escape plans, but they won't be necessary seeing as your being released.
"Really! Yes sweet freedom at last~" Naruko cheered jumping up and down in excitement.
"Though I'm still scheduling you for meetings, so come back once a week for the next couple of weeks for a check up" The Psychiatrist informed making Naruko freeze mid jump causing her to do a face plant.
"Awww way to kill the mood Doc" Naruko whined.
"I could keep you for another three days if you like?" he suggested.
"So what time is our next appointment?" Naruko asked giving him a fake enthusiastic grin that had everybody laughing.

After being checked out of the hospital Iruka took the kids to Ichiraku's bar. Once there Naruko began to gorge herself on Miso pork ramen to make up for the last three days of barely eating.
"Ah this is sooooo good~" Naruko purred out as she got to work on her 23rd bowl.
"There goes this weeks paycheck along with nest week" Iruka muttered sadly picking through his wallet.
Shikamaru gave the broke sensei an amused smiled before a thought came to him. "Hey Lee, isn't your graduation exam coming up?"
"Why yes it is. To be honest our final examine is tomorrow" Lee informs them.
"Oh wow Lee that's amazing. Your one step closer to being an actual ninja!" Naruko cheered beaming happily to her bushy eyebrow friend.
"She's right Lee-Kun that's is excellent news" Hinata said happily for her friend before thoughts of another boy crowded her mind.
"Right on Lee I'm sure you can ace that exam" Choji said showing support.
"Just remember what your sensei's taught you and you'll be fine" Iruka says encouragingly knowing the boy was nervous about tomorrow along with being insecure about his abilities.
"I will Iruka-sensei and thanks everyone" Lee tells them feeling encouraged by everyone's support and belief in him.
"Hey Oji-San get everyone another bowl we have have to celebrate!" Naruko cheered.
"Naru-Chan I haven't graduated yet" Lee stated.
"You haven't yet, but you will besides I'm still hungry" Naruko tells him giving him a crocked grin.
Lee chuckled at her and what ever nervousness he felt before was gone as he saw his crush smiling face feeling her confidence flow into him. That confidence making him excited about tomorrow.

It was close to sun down when Naruko and her friends finished their meals and with that they said their good byes to each other. Walking down the street was Naruko, Iruka and Shikamaru.
"Naruko until Mikoto-San or Shisui-San are out of the hospital your free to stay with me or if you like Shikaku-San and Yoshino-San have also agreed to let you stay with them" Iruka tells her.
"Yea Blue-eyes you can stay with us just like old times" Shikamaru tells her.
"Okay Shika. I haven't seen your parents for awhile now" Naruko said. "Is that okay with you Iruka-sensei?'
"Yes Naruko it's quite alright. Well, I'll go pick you up some clothes and bring them to the compound for you" Iruka says preparing to leave.
"Thank you Iruka-sensei I had fun" Naruko says giving the man a hug before he left leaving the two best friends to walk home together.
As Naruko and Shikamaru were walking on the road that over looked the village pond they both recognized the person standing on the dock. "Shika, isn't that Sasuke-teme?" the blond girl asked.
"It looks like him" Shikamaru tells her as they hid behind a tree to spy on the raven haired boy.
"I wonder what he's doing way out here?" Naruko mumbled as she watched Sasuke perform multiple hand signs she didn't recognize how to do.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled summoning up a giant fireball that shot out across the calm water leaving behind a cloud of steam that amazed the spying duo at the sheer power the raven boy had.
When the jutsu ended Sasuke fell to one knee panting and clearly very fatigue that made Naruko flinch at the sight of him as she examined him from a distant and saw how tired he really was which made her gasps in shock at his weak condition. Shikamaru too was analyzing the Uchiha boy feeling just as worried for him as his blond haired friend.
Sasuke struggled back to feet and took in deep mouthful of much need air until he was stable enough again and began to perform the hand signs for his jutsu again. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" he shouted, but this fireball was cut off as Sasuke fell down.
Having seen enough Naruko raced down to Sasuke down figured eyes wild with worry as she stumbled to his side and began to check him only to find him completely drained of Chakra and energy. "Stupid teme what the hell were you thinking by putting body through this kind of regiment" she scolded the unconscious boy.
Shikamaru stood behind her glancing at the pained face of the boy and to the worried one of his best friend. "My best guess is to become stronger" he tells her crouching down next to him to get his arm over his shoulder.
"Yea I get that, but for what reason" Naruko shot back throwing his other arm over her shoulder to help Shikamaru to carry him.
"Isn't obvious?" Shikamaru asked getting a shake of the head from the blond which made him sigh at dense she was sometimes. "Troublesome prick. Blue-eyes he's getting stronger so he can protect you and the remaining Uchiha's. Knowing this guy he probably blames himself and wants to get stronger so he will never lose again."
Naruko stared wide eyed at Shikamaru before glancing back to Sasuke feeling herself sympathizing with him knowing how painful it is to blame oneself for a love ones death. "Stupid teme" she mutters to the unconscious boy.
Shikamaru gave a tiny smile at them as he shakes his head in amusement. "Yea I think he knows that too."
