didja read da memolise?
Recap:
"I was hoping we could've spent some time alone," I whispered to Shikamaru. His face flustered a little as I grabbed his hand. "Are you okay Shikamaru? Your face is getting kinda pink. Are you having a fever?" I said as I put my palm on his forehead. He pulled my hand down before anyone saw anything.
"N-no, I'm fine."
We played for a while before the festival started. We all sat on the hill and watched the stars. i was squished in between Shikamaru and Kakashi. The festival ended as we split our ways and wen't home.
~~~
On with the story!
*It's a brand new day!* I thought, leaping out of the window. I could've used the door, but...... I forgot where I put the key ^^;. Jumping tree to tree, I finally made it to the training grounds.
*Sigh, I'm the first one here..... again..... all alone.....* I jumped onto the tree branch where I sat yesterday and pulled out the book.
~Read.... and 15 min later ^^~
"Oi! Naomi! Come down here!," I turned my head slightly to see Asuma Sensei's face.
"Good morning, Sensei!," I said, leaping down from the branch I was sitting on. "So.... what's today's mission?"
"Today, we're to..." Asuma said, pulling out a scroll. "Go retrieve the wooden mirror of Hope."
"Uh.... did you just say a Mirror?" I whipped my head around to see, Ino, Choji and Shikamaru.
"Yes. That mirror is told it sucks in souls of pure minds. Luckily, None of us are fully pure."
"How do you know that for sure, sensei?" I asked, eyes narrowing to his....fatous speech. (See, I can think of big words too.)
"Well, lemme tell you. Choji is fat, Ino is obsessed into Sasuke, Shikamaru is lazy, and you.... your just plain dim."
">.> I'll prove it to you. I'll get my soul sucked in for sure. And if I do, your going to treat us al to BBQ! =P" And with that, I dissapeared looking for the mirror myself. Jumping from branch to branch, I started to think of BBQ. (blah, I don't make ANY sense. Do I?) All of a sudden, my body pulsed. I froze and I couldn't move. My eyes tured empty and I blacked out. (Bwahahahahaa, Je..... made..... tu.... go...... dans les.... mirror. =P I suck at francais.)
~ No ones POV~
~Befor the mirror sucking thing~
"Holy cow. We got to go after her. What if she really was Pure? What if she would find the mirror? What if she got sucked in. What i-"
"Choji, thats enough. Our job is to look for the mirror. That's all. And a brat like her wouldn't be pure. She'll come back when she calms down," Asuma said. Or atleast, he hoped.
..... go on......
~Naomi's POV~
My eye's started to flutter open. My blurried vision started to become clear. Infront of me, I saw weired shaped person. He or she, looked like a bald doll with eyes made out of a single, black bead. It wore a Huge grin sewn onto the face and draped around the body was a single, white sheet.
"Welcome my dearie," it's voice hissed in my ear. "You are now inside the Wooden Mirror of Hope. Please, come through the door."
*Door, what door?* I was to concerned at looking at the hideous creature, I couldn't see the door that was behind it. Carefully, I reached toward the door. My hand ceased to a stop.
"Wait. What would happen if I do go through the door?" I asked.
"That my child, is for you to find out," it's shrilly voice sent a chill down my spine. Slowly, my hand reached for the door again. (SXI: Nuuu! Don't do it! Doooonnnnn'tttt ddddoooo iiitttttt!) (Naomi: Like I have a choice. Did you forget who was writting this?) (SXI: Oh yeah....)
*Slowly.... Steadily..... Wait! What if I go through. And never come back again???!!!* My hands stopped again. I slowly turned my body around to face the thing.
"What would really happen if I go through?"
~Back to the team. TRALALALAA! *cough* Ahem~
Pokie......
The stick cramned into Naomi's lifeless body.
" Do you think she actually got stuck into the mirror?"Ino said, clutching tightly to the mirror she found beside Naomi's lifeless body.
"There is only one way to find out," Asuma said, walking closer to the mirror. He bit his finger and blood started to slowly flow out. Gentely, he pressed his finger (Or thumb...) onto the mirror's surface. Slowly, an Image appeared.
~Back with Naomi!~
Before 'it' can say anything, Light started to flow into the mirror. I looked up to see a thumb, Asuma, Ino, Choji and Shikamaru looking down.
"Hey!!" I said, waving my arms."Get me out of here! This thingie beside me is freaking me out. And it's forcing me to go into the door." Shikamaru stuck his finger through the mirror, but it only reached a metre away from my grasps. His finger soon left the mirror as Asuma gave it a try. I finally reached his finger then 'it' said something, that caught my attention.
"You could finally see your parents." It said, evilly.
"My..... parents?"
"Your parents were sucked up in here a long time ago." I slowly, again walked closer to the mirror. I ceased to a stop as a heard a little yelp. My head turned to see Asuma's finger, slowly being burnt.
*Okay Naomi. This is a lifetime chance. Either you meet your parents and never see your friends again. Or live your normal life with your friends, and never get to see the faces of your parents. Tough desision.....* As Asuma started withdrawing his finger, I ran up to it and jumped onto his finger. Finally, I saw light. My eyes opened as I smelt my most hated enemies smell. I looked up to see Asuma carrying me bridal style.
~~~
"Ahh!" Quickly, I stood up. But unlike birds, I couldn't fly away. I fell. "Owie!" I quickly stood up and planted a big grin on my face. "I told you I was Pure! =D I got into the mirror. You didn't believe me but HA! Now your treating us to BBQ! =3" I done a quick dance and jumped into the air. Then a stick fell out of my shirt.
">.> Who put that in there?" I asked, picking up the fallen stick.
~FR to the scene where they rescued Naomi~
Asuma picked up Naomi's body as she was sound asleep. The stick that was cramned into her body, slowly slid into her shirt. (Don't worry, gravity always win, so it wasn't moved on by purpose)
~Backie to the present~
The walk back to Kohona was silent. In less than 10 minute, we made it back.
"Asuma! Are you going to treat us to BBQ or what?" I whined, trailing behind the man smoking the........ *breathe in, breathe out* negative euthanasia [yoo-thuh-ney-zhuh, -zhee-uh, -zee-uh].
"........ Your sounding a lot like Choji these days....." Asuma said, breathing in another puff of... Nicotine.
*I got to get him more Cigarettes so he'll drop dead*
"I'll take that as a Yes. Okay gang! To the BBQ place! Charge!" Choji and I raced to the BBQ restaurant (SXI: Pfft, I don't know what the place is called.). I sat with Ino alone and the boys sat together. (SXI: Not enough room =[[)

"Ewww, Naomi. Do you actually eat this stuff? It has a lot of calories," Ino said, disgustingly eyeing the chunk of meat infront of her.
"Of course I do, I never get fat. Even if I do, it's only a little and they go up to my breast. So it's no biggie."
*No biggie? Your breasts are huge. Wait..... what if I ate more and it also went up. Epp! I would totally be a bigger advantage over Sasuke. All right, let's do this!* Ino quickly grabbed her chopstick, and the meat and swallowed it all down in one gulp.
"Whoa Ino. Easy there. Asuma's treating us so you don't have to hurry and such. Besides, it's not like it's going to do any good to you. All that fat will go down to your thy(SXI:Blah, I can't spell. =[)." Ino's eye's went Huge when I said that too her.
"B-b-ut, you said it'll go to your breasts, r-right?"
"I did," I paused slightly. "But that would only happen to me. I was born like this." Quickly, Ino ran to the washroom to stick her finger down her throat. Since I was alone, I walked to the table beside my table and sat down beside Choji. (SXI: Awww, poor Naomi can't sit beside Shikamaru.( Note to self: Next time, make bigger table..... and get a grammer lesson from Nii-chan))
"Where did Ino run of to?" Asuma asked, still smoking his Cigarette.
"Isn't there some rule of NO SMOKING inside? And Ino went to puke out her food."
"What?! Why?? Such fabulous food shoukd not be wasted. I must go stop her!" Choji said, dropping his meat back onto his plate and running to the Girls washroom.
"Wait Choji! You can't go in there!" Asuma said, dropping his cigarette to the floor and running to catch up with Choji. Which left me and Shikamaru alone.
"Hiya Shika, why are you so quiet today?" I asked, my legs kicking like a child under the table. There was a longggg pause of silence before he was about to answer.
"B-" Before he could actually answer I looked at my watch and cot (past tense of cut?) him off.
"Oppsie, sorry Shikamaru, I gotta get to work. I'll talk to you later. Tell the others I left. Bye?" I said a quick goodbye and left the restaurant. Walking to the Ramen shop, I spotted Kakashi and his team near the Ramen shop.
"Hiya Kakashi!" I put my arm around Kakashi's waist and flung my other arm on Naruto's shoulder. I gave them both a Big grin.
"Oi! Naomi, did you hear? A building was burnt down this afternoon." Naruto said, while he too flung his arm around my shoulder.
"Oh, which one?" I asked, curious.
*Ouch. Poor people living there.*
"I don't know. Let's hope it's not one of ours."
"Right...... You guys want Ramen? My treat?" I said, dragging them to work with me.
"All right! Your the best!" (SXI: Haha, today my writting is more crappy than usual. o.o)
"Of course I am Naruto, who else would be?" I quickly put on my apron and fixed the four of them a few bowls of Ramen.
"So Naruto, how was today's mission?" I asked, serving a bowl of Ramen to myself too. (Bweah, he went to the mist village. But I'm going to make it one day only. =3)
"It was Awsome! (My mind was about to type: "It was Awsome! Kakashi was like,[Add heroic song here] *zweahm* I smell your death coming. And then there were loud sounds. *clang* *Swish* *clang* *bambambam*. And then our Enemy fell on the floor and there was blood EVERYWHERE> And Sasuke chickend out(That last part, I made up. XD)) I met this kid there named Inari. Weired kid, but after a while, he's like a homed trained puppy."
"Oh? My shift is done. I got to go now, okay Naruto. Here's the money for the ramen." I handed Naruto a small amount of money and left. Near the block home (No sense at all. *sigh*), I smelt smoke.

*Ohmigawd? What if the house that got burnt down was mine??* Quickly, I ran home. Without a mistake, the building that was burnt down, clearly was mine. I walked closer to the pile of ash and picked up something from the ground. It was a picture of a women, a men, and a baby. The women was my mom. The man was my dad. And I was the baby. Ash covered their faces as I gently wiped the photo. Tears gently slid down my cheek and landed on the photo. I stood up and stuffed the picture into my bag.
I looked around and saw a few burnt peices of clothing. Some of them were in boxes so the weren't burnt. I picked them up and stuffed it in my over sized bage. I walked into the, what used to be the bathroom (There are still parts of the walls standing up) and looked at the floor. There were still a small box left on the counter. I opened it and found a dolphin Necklace, (from mom) a clip shaped like a cresent moon with beads hanging from it, (from dad) a lil bit of makeup, and amazingly, a spare toothbrush, soap and a small towel. I also grabbed it and stuffed it in my bag. Then I walked out of the remains of my house.
*I soo didn't see this coming. Why did it have to happen? Now where am I going to go?* I kept on walking, looking at the floor while tears kept on falling. Rain soon started falling. I finally walked under a tree. By now, I was soaked from head to toe. Shivering, I sat down onto the wet dirt. I just sat there and kept on crying. Then I felt the rain stop. I looked up to see Shikamaru holding out his umbrella, getting drenched himself.
"Ahh! Shikamaru, your going to catch a cold like that," I said, standing up quickly and pushing the umbrella back to him.
"Troublesome girl. I bet you, you already caught a cold. How long were you out here anyways?" He asked, standing closer to me so we both were covered by the umbrella.
"Uhm..... since it started raining. How long was that a-anyway? *Achoo*"
"What?! That was an hour ago. You must've caught a cold. What were you doing out here anyways?"
"N-nothing."
"HEY! Shikamaru!! Did you find her yet?" Both our heads turned around to face Ino.
"Hiya's Ino!" I said, jumping onto her.
"Hey, don't get all mushy. Anyways, we have a mission." Ino said, pushimg me off her.
"Aww, what's the mission?" I asked shivering and sneezing in the rain.
"Our mission is to look for the family, whose house was just burnt down." My whole body froze. It wasn't becasue it was cold out.
"I already found her." I quietly said, while tears rolled down my face again.
"Her?" Ino said looking at me, puzzled. A few moment's later, she finally reliezed what I was saying.
"Oh..... I'm so sorry Naomi." Ino said, walking closer, wrapping her arms around me like what a mother would do to a child.
"W-what am I g-going to d-do?*snezzy*" I said, blubbering like a child. Then my vision became blurry and a blacked out.
~Shikamaru's POV~
Naomi was silent. Her eyes started to close and then she fell. My instinct took over and I dropped my Umbrella to prevent her from falling. I took the back of my hand and felt her forehead. Ino done the same.
"*Yelp* Ohmigawd. She's burning up!!" Ino said as I picked her up bridle style. Ino picked up my Umbrella and put it over my head, walking beside me.
"I'm bringing her home. My mom could take care of her." We walked to my house. Half way there, I heard Naomi quietly cry, 'M-mom, dad....... don't go. Don't leave me.'
*So..... she's dreaming about her parents...* Something dropped out of Naomi's pocket. Ino bent down and picked it up.
"Wow. Who is that? She's so beutiful. And that guy beside her isn't too shabby either." Ino said, looking at the photo. I took a look.
"I bet you, those are her parents Ino. There's a baby there too isn't there?" I looked closer too see a baby in there arms, who was wrapped around a pink blanket and had light purple eyes and her head had little short black hair. (You know those newborn babie's with the short fuzzy hair.? They are soo cute. =3)
We finally reached to my house. Ino left me with Naomi and my Umbrella. Since I didn't have a spare arm. I used my feet and gently kicked the door.
"SHIKAKU! (Did I get the name right? When I read Shikamaru stories, the call his father Shikaku. =P I really don't pay attention to names that well. =3)GO GET THE DOOR!" I heard from inside. *sigh* The door slowly open, to reveal my father.
"Oh, your home from your mission already Shikamaru? Oh? Who-" Before dad could finish his sentence, Mom started yelling.
"WHO IS IT SHIKAKU?!?!!"
"Mom! Please be quiet...." I said, walking in the house. She stared at the body in my arms.
"Oh my god, Shikamaru, is she okay?" my mother asked, placing her hand onto Naomi's forehead.
"Mom, I just think you should place her in a bed. She just has a cold from staying in the rain for too long." I followed my mom as she walked up the stairs and into the guest room. Gentely, I placed her onto the bed. My mom brought in a blanket and a big T-shirt. I just sat there and watched her walk back and forth.
"What are you doing?" She asked me quietly, so Naomi wouldn't wake up. "I'm going to change her clothes so you should get out!" I walked out quickly, because I wasn't prepared to see what was going to happen. I walked downstairs to the kitchen, fixed myself something to eat and sat down.
"So, how was the mission? Who was that girl any way?" My dad asked me, looking up from his newspaper. (Did they have news papers? o.o)
"One. My mission was to find the family whose house was burnt down. Two, that girl is my teamate, Naomi." I said, not including that Naomi was the girl we had to rescue. I knew he was going to ask me who the family was anyways.
"Oh? So who was the family that you saved?"
"That family was Naomi. Naomi lived by herself for some reason."(They don't know that your family and clan died.)
"Oh, I see. Well, she could live here with us." Hearing the last three words made me choke on my food.
"W-what?! How do you know she'll agree?"
"Agree to what?" I turned my head to see Naomi and my mom behind her.

~Naomi's POV~
I finally woke up and slowly sat up.
"W-where am I?" I said to no one in particular. The door opened and in walked a familier lady.
"Ah, your awake."
"H-hi, where am I?" I asked, still curious about where I was.
"Your at Shikamaru's house, I'm his mother. You can call me Mrs. Nara. Let's go downstairs, okay?" She said, helping me up. I looked down to see that the clothes I was wearing was now changed into a loose t-shirt.
*I guess she changed me.* We walked downstairs. The first thing I heard was Shikamaru saying, "W-what?! How do you know she'll agree?".
"Agree to what?" I asked, revealing myself to a man and Shikamaru.
"N -" Shikamaru started, but the man, who I asume, is his father, butted in.
"He wants to know, if you'll agree to live here with us." Shikamaru's father said.
"Sure," I said, without actually thinking. I was too happy that I won't have to live on the street again. His parents agreed that I could also live with them.
"Not another troublesome women." Shikamaru groaned when his parents left the room. I sat beside Shikamaru.
"Aww, Shikamaru, I know you love me," I said, jokingly wrapping my arms around his waist. "Cause if you didn't, then why did you bring me here?" Before Shikamaru could answer, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." He said standing up. I was curious so I followed him. Shikamaru opened the door, and revealed Ino.
"Hey Shikamaru, so hows Naomi?" Ino asked, not noticing I was right behind Shikamaru.
"Hi Ino!" I said, revealing my full, living, breathing and healthy body. "I'm okay now, you don't have to worry!"
"Good, now we also have another problem. Where are you going to stay?"
"I'm living with Shikamaru now." I said, as a big grin soon spreaded on my face.
"What?! B-but, your a girl, and he's a guy. I mean, it would be better if you lived with me right?" Ino stuttered.
"Blah, too late, I aready feel comfy here. Too comfy. But anyways, thank you for worrying about me," I told Ino, giving her a side hug. With that, Ino said okay, and left with a goodbye. (SXI:Meh, I'm tired now........*yawn*) (Naomi:Me too. *Yawn*)
"*yawn* Hey, do I get to have the room that I woke up in?" I asked, becoming extreamly sleepy.
"I guess, since that's the only room left in this house." Lazily, I walked up the stairs and found myself wandering around. At the end of the hallway was a spare room, which now, was my room. The room across from it was the washroom. There was an indentical door beside my room and a double door across from the door. I walked into that door, mistaking it for my room, and dropped onto the bed. Soon I was fast asleep.
