High School, What a Drag (Naruto Fanfic)

According to Shikamaru life is a drag.There is no reason to expend more energy then needed, and that's why he ended up skipping a grade. Putting up an argument about why he shouldn't take the high school entrance exams took up to much energy. He doesn't expect the first day to have unexpected "drags", or that he would find a reason to step out of his comfort zone.

Temari's life is a drag with a brother who practically qualifies for the 'hikikomori' label, and could blow up at any minute due to anti-social issues. She also deals with being mislabeled as a 'yankee' by the other students at her school. Everybody cared to much about appearances, and life in general ended up dragged down.

Welcome to the first day of high school.

Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto.

Note - The ship I'm working with is canon, and was slow to develop because of the canon characters personalities.

In Japan high schools are grades ten to twelve rather then nine to twelve. Students pay for their high school education in the vast majority of cases, and also take entrance exams to get into the school of their choice. The class representative for the freshman year is the student who scored highest on these exams. The opening of the school year for first year students at schools no matter the level is typically accompanied by an opening ceremony.

A hikikomori is a shut in, but more specifically a hikikomori is a person who struggles for a long period of time to venture out of their homes, and they also struggle with social interactions/forming social bonds.

A yankee is slang for a female gang member in Japan, particularly one that rides bikes.
