*Ring! Ring! Ring!*
The blaring sound of the alarm clock ringing in the small room was so loud it should have woken the dead, but unfortunately could not wake the slumbering Naruko.
"Mmhmm more beef pork please" she mumbled snoring loudly as drool dripped out the side of her mouth.
Sasuke whose room was right next door to Naruko's heard the blaring alarm started growling in cursing as the piercing noise disturbed his sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed trying to block out the noise, but failed to do so. Giving up on sleep he tossed off his blanket and stormed into the sleeping blonde's room.
"DOBE WAKE THE HELL UP AND TURN OFF THE DAMN ALARM CLOCK!" he screamed making Naruko jump into the air and off her bed onto the floor.
Naruko was sprawled out on the floor with her messy bed head everywhere and had her gown hiked up flashing her underwear to the world as she tried to wake up from her sleepy state. "Ah wah?" she mumbled sleepily.
Sasuke who calmed down a little from his outburst broke out into a crimson red blush after catching a glimpse of Naruko's panties. "Dobe for the love of Kami pull your gown down!" he shrieked turning away from her.
Naruko who was slowly coming out of her dazed stupor caught what Sasuke was saying and blushed a mad red too as she yanked her gown down before pelting Sasuke with her pillows. "Ah Teme you no good peeping tom!"
Sasuke gasped at the indignity of being labeled a pervert and turned to reprimand the blonde only to get a face first of pillows and later by the very object that drove him into the room. Sasuke lay sprawled out in her door way sporting a bloody nose from where the alarm clock hit him.
Naruko sat panting on the floor glaring at the bleeding boy. "That's what you get for being a stupid pervert teme" she growled getting off the floor.
Once on her feet Naruko began to walk around the room gathering up her morning supplies she would need to get ready for her redo picture. Once she had everything she walked over Sasuke's prone form and made her way to the bathroom.
*Twenty minutes later*
Naruko stepped out of the shower wrapping her fluffy orange towel around herself as she stepped onto the bathroom mat. She toweled herself dry before slipping on the kimono she needed to wear for her photo. After finished dressing and brushing her teeth she started to brush out the tangles in her long sunny blond hair. Once she freed her hair of all tangles she ran her hand through her thigh long hair before pausing to think of a good style for it.
"Hmm let's see, Grandpa said to make it look nice and formal so that means no pigtails" she mumbled pouting about not having her usual hairdo.
Giving this choice some thought she decided to let her hair stay down, but decided to give it some curls. When she finished her hair cascaded down her back in a flow of sunny curls while her bangs were pulled back by a fox shaped hair-clip Shikamaru got her. Once she finished with her hair she put on a light foundation of make up and finished it off by putting in some crystal blue earrings. Feeling pleased about her appearance she stepped out of the bathroom and headed to the dinning room. Upon entering the room she gained the attention of Mikoto, Shisui, and Sasuke who was sporting a bandage nose.
Mikoto checked out her appearance and couldn't help, but smile at her work. "Naruko you look lovely dear. I'm very impressed with your work" she said warmly hugging the girl.
"She's right Naruko your turning into a fine young lady" Shisui complemented warmly sipping on his morning tea.
"Yea right" Sasuke grumbled still sour about his bloody nose he got and being labeled a pervert, but he even though he was sour he did admit she looked nice.
Naruko smiled happily from their praises. "Thank you. Well I better get going before I get into more trouble with Grandpa" she tells them going to the door to slip on her sandals.
"Okay. Be careful on your way and afterwards head over to the academy" Mikoto tells her handing her a bag packed with her spare clothes to change into after the photo.
"I will and thank you Mikoto-san" Naruko said hugging the woman she's began to love like her own mother. "Bye Ojii-san, Teme" she said running out of the house and to her photo destination.

Shikamaru yawned as she walked down the forest path to the Uchiha compound hoping he hasn't missed Naruko yet. "Man what was that troublesome woman thinking waking me up this early" he mumbled catching sight of his blond haired friend leaving. "Oi Blue-eyes."
Naruko stopped in her tracks surprised seeing Shikamaru. "Shika? What in the world are you doing up so early?" she asked walking over to him.
"Ask my mother why. She came into my room this morning forcing me out of bed telling to get up and hurry over here to watch over you" he said lazily as another yawn came out.
"Aw that was sweet of your mom, but she shouldn't have woken you up on my account" she said feeling a little guilty her friend was forced out of bed because of her.
Shikamaru sensing her thoughts bopped her softly on the forehead. "Stop feeling guilty besides it's no big deal. I probably would have got up on my own anyway to see you" he said walking off.
Naruko blinked and followed after him. "Why's that?"
"To make sure you took your photo like your supposed to" he said.
"Oh and how did you plan on doing that?" she asked.
He gave her a small smirk. "By offering you an all ramen eating spree if you take your photo like a good girl."
Naruko perked up hearing the offer of Ramen, but blushed at him calling her a good girl. "Hey don't say stuff like that Shika. You make me sound like a little kid" she whined.
Shikamaru chuckled at her reaching to ruffle her hair, but stopped before he could ruin her hair. "Come on Blue-eyes the faster we get your picture done the faster you can empty my wallet" he teased.
Naruko smiled and giggled happily. "Hehe Shika your speaking my language" she chuckled grabbing his hand so she could pick up their pace.
Shikamaru grunted at the extra speed, but let his complaint die in his throat seeing how happy Naruko looked and decided to just enjoy the moment. "I want to tell you how I feel Blue-eyes, but maybe I need to wait just a little bit longer, but some time soon I'll tell you" he thought allowing her to drag him to their destination.
The photographer from yesterday was leaning against the wall puffing on her third cancer stick since she had already had her equipment set up and was waiting for Naruko to show up. "Hope the kids shows up soon I'm starving."
As if her thoughts had summoned her Naruko and Shikamaru appeared. Taking one last puff the photographer crushed her cigarette and walked over to her camera stand. "Okay kid take your seat and lets get this done and over with."
Naruko nodded handing Shikamaru her bag as she walked over to the stool and took her seat. Shifting to get into a comfortable spot she faced the camera and put on her biggest and brightest smile.
The photographer was a little surprised to see the girl who had given her hell yesterday was acting like a perfect little angel. Shaking off her shock the photographer snapped the photo before Naruko had a change of heart. Her new picture showed her smiling brightly in her lovely kimono that brought out the sparkle in her eyes and showed her hair flowing nicely behind her with her hairpin and earrings complementing her look.
"So Oba-Chan did I do a better job?" Naruko asked getting off the stool.
"For starters brat I'm not old and secondly yea you did a better job now off with you" she commanded watching the duo heading off while she packed up her stuff. "Cute couple those brats are" she chuckled walking off to deliver her last photo.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Shikamaru and Naruko were making their way to the academy now that Naruko was full and changed. She was now wearing a pair of orange shorts with navy blue swirls on the front along with a loose fitting black t-shirt that showed off her petite figure. She had the matching jacket to her shorts tied around her tiny waist and had her hair back up into her signature pigtails with her Leaf headband tied tightly on her forehead while also wearing her mother's locket.
Shikamaru gazed at Naruko's locket feeling a little saddened at seeing it. "That's the first time I've seen you wear it since you got it" he said cautiously being careful not to upset her.
Naruko gave him a small smile. "Yea been forever since I put it on. After Grandma-Kaede's death I didn't think I had a right to wear it, but now I know I was being stupid and decided that since today I'm going to be a Genin nothing could make it any more special than wearing something that belong to my mother and was given to me by a woman I loved very much" she said softly caressing the locket like a fragile child.
Shikamaru smiled at that and grabbed her hand and rubbed a gentle circles on it. "I think that's wonderful Blue-eyes and I bet your grandmother and mother are very proud of you" he tells her.
Naruko's normal happy go lucky grin appeared as she leaned into his side absorbing his warmth and scent. "Thanks Shika" she mumbled hugging his arm. "They may be gone, but I still have you Shika. Your my best friend and the person I love." "Shika even if we're not on the same team you'll still be my best friend right?"
Shikamaru pulled her closer to him making her face him as he gently bopped her on the head. "Troublesome girl. Your worrying over stupid things."
Naruko felt hurt. "He thinks worrying about our friendship is stupid. Doesn't he care about me?" she thought trying to pull out of his arms when he held her tighter placing a gentle and tender kiss on the crown of her head.
"Even if I'm not on your team I'll worry about you because no matter what happens your the most precious person in my life Blue-eyes and what ever happens that's something you never have to worry about or question" he tells her seriously. "Got that my troublesome little Blue-eyes."
Naruko blushed soaking in his words feeling herself smile an face splitting smile as she snuggled deeper into chest hugging him tightly. "I really am stupid to think anything will change between us, but maybe I could change one thing" she thought leaning back to stare up at him since he was a foot and some inches taller than her. "Shika could you bend down for a second and close your eyes?"
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow to her request, but did as she asked. Keeping his eyes closed he bent down like she asked feeling her move against him. His eyes soon snapped open as he felt a soft pair of lips press against his.
Looking down he saw Naruko on her tiptoes kissing him. He was shocked not expecting this to happen, but pushed the shock away as he kissed her back pulling her closer to him. Naruko kept her eyes closed as she kissed him and was happy when she felt him kissing her back since she was a little afraid he wouldn't. A few seconds later the two broke apart with dazed brown meeting dazed blue.
Catching his breath first he looked at her smiling happily. "Wow was not expecting that" he admitted keeping his hold on her.
Naruko grinned at him with her cheeks a rosy red. "Hehe I know, but I wanted to show you that your just as precious to me. Shika you mean a lot to me and I wanted you to know that" she confessed laying her head against his chest.
Shikamaru smiled softly caressing her hair. "I'm glad. To be honest I've been trying to tell you how I feel yesterday, but the stupid universe was against me or it just liked you better" he joked getting a laugh out of her.
"Of course. I'm too cute and sweet for it not to like me. I mean even a lazy genius like you couldn't resist me" she teased.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes at her and quickly pressed a swift peck to her lips to stun her. "Troublesome girl we better get moving or we're going to be late" he stated grabbing her hand and pulling her along.
Naruko stumbled, but caught herself as she fell into step with him again and reclaimed his arm into a hug. "Shika does this mean we're dating now?" she asked.
Shikamaru looked to the sky giving her question some thought before answering. "Not really. Confessing is one thing, but to be a real couple we have to spend a lot of time together and go on date, but considering we're about to separated into squads we can't do that."
Naruko's happy mood deflated seeing the logic in his answer. "Yea guess your right" she mumbled facing the ground.
Shikamaru looked back down to her and lifted her chin up. "Troublesome girl let me finish before you get sad. We can't date now, but that doesn't mean we won't. Lets focus on our ninja career first and if you don't mind waiting a few years we can try our hand being a couple."
Naruko eyes brightened back up nodding furiously. "Of course I can wait! I gladly wait if it meant being with you Shika" she declared hugging him tightly.
"Good. Now stop breaking or we're going to be late and get a troublesome lecture from Iruka-sensei" he said.
Naruko only laughed following after him.
*Inside Iruka's classroom*
Hinata, Choji, Ino, and Sakura all sat in their seats pouting as they stared at Naruko's empty seat.
"It's not fair. We proved Naruko didn't fail, so why wasn't she at the I.D registration" Ino whined.
"Don't know. Maybe we we're too late or something" Sakura mumbled missing her arguing buddy.
"Poor S...Shikamru-Kun and S..Sa..Sasuke-Kun. They must be taking this harder than we are" Hinata said feeling her heart go out to them, but mostly for Naruko.
"Kinda explains why they haven't shown up yet" Choji said feeling just as bad as Hinata.
The door opened and reviled Sasuke who had his head down as he walked to his seat not looking up once.
"Aww poor guy must be taking the whole Naruko not graduating thing pretty hard" Ino said.
Hinata frowned not liking seeing Sasuke looking so down. "I..I'm going to t..talk to him" she stuttered getting up to move towards the slouched over Uchiha boy. She gently tapped his shoulder hoping to get his attention, but received a grunt for her effort. Not giving up she tapped his shoulder again and got an irritated growl.
"For Kami's sake what do you want!" he hissed glaring up at the person who dared to aggravate him when he was in his bad mood, but once seeing it was Hinata he lost the glare and looked remorseful. (Shocking I know) "Ah Gomen'nasai Hinata. I thought you we're one of the annoying fan girls."
Hinata gave him a small timid smile. "It's fine Sa...Sasuke-kun. Oh g..goodness wh..what happened to your no..nose?" she asked seeing the nasty purplish bruise around it.
Sasuke gave a small growl of annoyance. "That stupid Dobe did this. She threw her alarm clock at me because she's a complete baka" he growled only to cry out in pain when a book slammed into his head.
"I only threw the alarm clock at you because you were being a pervert and looking at my panties baka-teme!" Naruko yelled standing by Iruka's desk and getting everyone's attention.
"WHAT" Everyone screamed in shocked at seeing Naruko standing their with a headband, but more so because she called Sasuke a pervert.
Sasuke rubbed the lump on his head glaring at the fuming blond. "I didn't see them on purpose Dobe! You fell off the bed and your gown got pulled up"he said defending himself against the horrible accusation.
"Well you shouldn't have been looking baka-teme" she huffed.
Sasuke sighed falling into his seat defeated knowing their was no reasoning with the stubborn girl. "Dobe."
Naruko stuck her tongue out at him, but squealed when she dog piled on by her friends who were excited and happy to see her. "Ah glad to see you guys too, but your crushing me" she whined from the bottom of the pile.
Shikamaru shook his head at them. "Yes your happy to see her, but it a troublesome mess if you crush her to death" he said watching them get off her as he pulled her back up to her feet.
"Thanks Shika. What's up everybody you looked surprised to see me" she teased.
"Well duh. You weren't at registry yesterday so we thought you weren't graduating" Sakura said pouting at her.
"Aw Bubblegum was worried about me. How sweet" Naruko cooed.
"Ah shove it Whiskers" she hissed making everyone laugh.
Iruka cleared his throat to get everyone attention. "Yes it's nice to have Naruko joining the graduating class, but I need everyone to take their seats. It's time to divide you all into your appointed teams" he said watching everyone take their seats facing him with excited faces as he began to call out the squads.
"Team seven will consist of Naruko Uzumaki..." Naruko perked up hearing her name called "Hinata Hyuga" and smiled hearing Hinata was on her team and started praying Shikamaru was next. "Last member of team seven is Sasuke Uchiha." Naruko let her head hit her desk in despair.
"Not fair. I get stuck with the perverted teme instead of Shika" she whined receiving a comforting pat from the teammate she likes and a growl from the one she didn't.
Shikamaru too was disappointed about not being on Naruko's team, but had a feeling this would happen.
"Next up is team eight. Members include Sakura Haruno" Like Naruko did Sakura perked up at her name being call. "Shino Aburame" She shuttered thinking the boy was kinda creepy, but shrugged it off since anyone was better then..."and Kiba Inuzuka." Another thump was heard in the class as Sakura banged her head on her desk.
"What the hell sensei! Why did I get stuck on a team with the baka dog boy" Sakura cried.
"Shut up Bubblegum! Like Shino, Akamaru and I wanna be on a team with the likes of you" Kiba growled glaring at her while Akamaru snarled at her.
"Children behave! These are picked for a reason so don't question them and accept them!" Iruka yelled getting everyone to shut up. "Good now seeing as Team nine is still an acting Genin team we skip over that and go to Team Ten who are Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka. These are the teams of your graduating class and I was proud to know and teach all of you. Be good to your new sensei's and I look forward to your bright futures" he said smiling proudly at his class watching them all break out into loud and gleeful cheering. "What a bright future this village has" he thought happily with his gaze resting on one particular student.
