One of the boys

chapter 1

She was bouncing up and down excitedly, by the stairway, waiting for her idiotic and unbelievably slow twin brother, who was supposedly getting ready for their movie night gathering with their friends.

They were supposed to meet the gang at Shikamaru's house in an half an hour, and it was a twenty minute walk, so she was getting impatient by the second.

"Menma! I swear, if you don't get your ass down in three seconds I am coming up! And I'll pull your friggin hair out so you won't have to worry about fixing them so damn much!"

Naruko wasn't really the most patient girl in town. Especially when her male twin worried about his appearance more than she did.

She had just slipped on her favorite black track suit pants, her favorite orange hoodie, her black converse shoes, brushed her blonde hair out of the way, without caring where her long yellow strands ended up, and she was ready to go. She was a tomboy, and she loved it!

She was a lot more comfortable around her male friends and she dressed and acted so much like them, that they had started to consider her one of them, much to her brother's annoyance.

He wasn't really enthused, having his sister always with him, doing boys stuff, palying Mariokart with Shikamaru and Sasuke, challenging Choji at who ate more potato chips,damn, she even had burping contests with dogbreath Kiba!

"I'm ready, do you really need to threaten my hair every single time?" he groaned, sending his sister an annoyed glance.

Naruko rolled her eyes, and looked at him in his bright blue orbs, that were practically a mirror of her own

"I'm going to cut it for real one day, maybe once you're bald it will take less time getting ready! Geez Menma, you're such a girl sometimes!"

He just stared at her,one eye twitching slightly at her words. He was a what? He? A girl? Coming from her was somewhat ironic, he was the male twin, dammit!

"Menma, Naruko? Are you arguing again?" the calm voice of Minato Namikaze close, they both sighed as the man, now in front of them wearing a pink apron, which caused another eye twitch to the black haired twin, glared at them.

"What did we tell you about arguing?"

"we are seventeen dad, we don' t need you to get on our case every sing-"

"I'm sorry daddy, but Menna was running late, as usual"

Naruko gave their parent a bright smile, that both knew he couldn't resist. Minato did have a soft spot for his daughter, she had him wrapped around her little finger. Menma muttered something under his breath, and his sister just stuck out her tongue at him.

"Minato! What did I tell you? We have to let them sort it out themselves, us getting involved won't help!" the loud voice of Kushina Uzumaki, roaring from the kitchen, made them all shiver, the woman was scary!

"She is right" the blonde man assumed, and gave his kids an apologetic smile.

"Coward" mouthed Menma, sending an amused glance at his father, who just grinned.

"maybe, but a wise one indeed" he answered, feeling his wife approach him, leaning a hand on his shoulder. They all knew it was best to avoid firing her up.
