The Ino-Shika-Cho Trio

Chapter 1- Seriously!

Shikato watched as his fellow classmates ran around like crazy idiots. Shikato wondered how his active classmates could run like that.

"Is that all you do? Sit in your seat and sleep?" Asked a voice, Shikato turned to see a fellow genin, Yuriko. Shikato sighed. Yuriko only lived for one purpose, to make sure Shikato was miserable.

"No... well... mostly no..."

"You're right, you complain about everything too..." Said Yuriko, glaring. Change that, Yuriko's only purpose was to make Shikato very miserable. Yuriko was actually pretty nice until... that one day...

:FlashBack:

"Okay, so I was thinking we could make a miniture model of the Hokage Monument, what do you think?" Asked Yuriko.

"I don't care, whatever floats your boat..." Said Shikato, yawning.

"Okay... So can you come over at my house tomorrow?" Asked Yuriko.

"Well... actually... I was thinking you could do the whole project, ya know, without my help..." Said Shikato.

"WHAT! YOU HAVE TO HELP!"

"No I don't..." Said Shikato.

"Well if you don't help me I'm not going to do the project!" Said Yuriko, hands on hips.

"Then it'd be a zero, then not only would I fail, you'd come down with me, a F wouldn't look so good on you perfect report card..." Said Shikato

:End FlashBack:

So Yuriko ended up doing the whole project and didn't get a wink of sleep and had bags under her eyes for weeks... oh wait... now Shikato realized why she hated him...

"Okay class, settle down..." Said the teacher. She was smiling sweetly at them, but the class didn't seem to notice her.

"OKAY class..." Said The teacher firmly. The kids still didn't notice.

"QUIET YA LITTLE MONSTERS!"

O.O

"There now sit down (They did as told) and I will assign you to your teams." The teacher assigned the genins to their teams. Shikato was suprised when Yuriko, Hana, and Tani were assigned to team 3. Yuriko was ointelligent but tough, Tani was shy and sweet, and Hana was pretty but overconfident. Shikato couldn't imagine them on the same team.

"And Cell Six will be Shikato, Inoshi, and Choumaru..." Announced the teacher.

"WHAT!" Screamed a voice fromt the back row, everyone turned to see Inoshi.

"I'M STUCK WITH LAZY ASS AND FAT ASS! COME ON!" Protested Inoshi, Choumaru glared at Inoshi and Shikato would have said something if it wasn't so much trouble.

"Okay, so you already know what you have to do, so I'll be going!" The teacher started to leave when suddenly Inoshi was on the floor, clutching her ankle.

"PLEASE DON'T TEAM ME UP WITH THEM!" Cried Inoshi.

"GET OFF!" Screamed the teacher, trying to pull Inoshi off his leg.

"PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!"

"OFF!" The teacher managed to escape, leaving a sobbing Inoshi on the floor.

"Can't blame him..." Shikato heard Hana say. Shikato frowned at this.

"W-why me...?" Sobbed Inoshi on the floor. Shikato stood up and walked over to him, Choumaru was there too.

"You can drag him..." Shikato told Choumaru, Shikato walked out of the door, when he was in the hallway, he shut the door and layed down on the floor, in the same position Inoshi was in.

"W-why me...?"
