I want to thank PurpleOmpski for editing the first three chapters of my story she'd been of great help.

This story's timeline is a two or three years after the war, though things might be a little different than in canon like Neji for instance is not dead which makes this AU of sort. anyway, thanks for those that decided to give my story a shot as you can see this my first time writing a story so it might not be so good.

Naruto should have known, she should have sensed the trouble from a million miles away. All the signs were there, yet she had ignored them and just chalked it down as her having a bad day.

Like every bad day of hers, it started when she fell off the bed this morning. She laid there blinking for several minutes before she stood to switch her alarm off. With an angry huff, she decided to get ready. On her way to the bathroom she failed to notice the piece of clothing stuck between the door as she closed it; nor did she notice the soap on the floor of the bathroom.

She gave a yelp as she fell on her back for the second time that morning. "Ugh," she groaned, as she tried to stand, leaning her body on the sink. Shaking her head to clear it from it's foggy state, she walked to the shower and turned it on. Undressing while she let the water warm up, she did some stretches to get her body to wake up, then she got into the shower yelling out when the cold water touched her skin. After giving a defeated sigh, she stepped back into the cold water while grumbling curses about her landlady not fixing things.

Five minutes later, she was out of the shower, brushing her teeth with a towel wrapped around her and she chose to let her still wet hair dry naturally. When she was done, she made her way to the door only to find it wouldn't budge. She gave a frustrated growl because really she didn't have time for this!

She gave a harder tug, still nothing. She glanced around, trying to find anything anything that will help her open the door. She didn't want to break it down before the old hag sends someone to retrieve her. If she was late for their mission assignment, or heaven forbid if she arrives later than Kakashi-sensei, her team would never let her live that down.

That's when she had seen the small window on her left side. Looking at it for a moment trying to think if it was a good idea, since the window was small. She looked down at her body and back at the window. Well it wouldn't hurt to try, it's not like she's fat or anything, right? She thought, as she made her way to the window. As she climbed through head first, her body seemed to fit. Only when she was about to go right out, did she realize her waist was too big for the window, "What the hell?" she cried out, surprised, She just found out that her curves were too big to fit in a window! She tried harder to squeeze herself through only to get the same result she groaned aloud, "At this rate I will be later than Kakashi-sensei. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of my troubles." She grumbled, now trying to push herself back in the bathroom when a voice startled her.

"Naruto?" she looked down to see Shikamaru standing on her balcony looking bored as always.

"Eh, hey Shikamaru! A little help here?" she said smiling sheepishly.

He looked at her considering if it was worth the trouble, maybe he should leave before it's too late. Everything involving Naruto is always troublesome, but then again, the Hokage did send me here to make sure Naruto gets there within five minutes. If he left her here and she gets there late... He shudders to think what will happen to him. An image of the Hokage breaking a desk flashed into his mind. He grimaced, It's probably not a good idea to leave her here. With a resigned sigh he made his way to the blonde.

"You're so troublesome, you know that? How did you manage to get yourself stuck here in the first place?" he asked as he pulled her by her arms earning a yelp from her as he had tugged too hard.

She scowled as she put her arms around his neck when he pulled her by the waist "It's not my fault if I'm having a bad day! My door seems to have locked from the outside, lady-luck is not with me today. You wouldn't believe what happened to me since I woke up," She said with a scowl on her face, "and how the hell am I supposed to know that my waist was too big to fit in the window?" she finished with a pout.

Shikamaru paused to glance down at her body only to flush in embarrassment, her towel was barely covering her. Leaving her smooth tan legs exposed which weren't the only things exposed. He cleared his throat and resumed pulling her out of the window. Naruto whined about the unfairness of it all, unaware of Shikamaru's reaction to her exposed skin.

When she was out, he carried her over to her balcony and put her down. Without looking at her he said "I came because Hokage-sama told to come tell you that 'you're late and you should get there in five minutes.'" he quoted in a neutral voice. Only then did he look at her and wished he hadn't. Now that he could see her properly, he was mesmerized at how she looked in her short towel. It was too small for her body by the way it was hugging her, no wonder she couldn't come out of the window. Has she always had curves like that? Why does she always hide it under those baggy clothes of hers? he wondered as he glanced up to her lips with the sudden urge to kiss them.

"Shikamaru are you alright?" Naruto asked puzzled at his expression.

Shikamaru shook his wondering mind to rid himself of those thoughts. What's wrong with him? How can he think of Naruto in that way? Naruto of all people, maybe it's the stress of what happened earlier with Temari getting to him? With another shake of his head he muttered "Troublesome," before turning around avoiding to look at her he walked away from her. "get dressed the Hokage is waiting. You don't want her to be pissed at you, do you?" he said before jumping on the roof opposite her apartment then he was gone.

Naruto was left watching after him until he disappeared out of her line of sight. With a puzzled expression, "What was it all about?" she wondered aloud before giving a loud shriek as she registered what he'd just said. She ran in the room only to slip and fall on her back, she groaned as she stood up rubbing her sore head. "I have a feeling this is going to be a long and awful day." She said having no idea how right she was right then.
