Bad Start for a Genin

This was the day she waited for all her life. Mirai was finally going to be on a genin team. Her body wanted to run wild through the class room, but the fact that her Sensei was standing in front of the class with a serious look, let her know that that's how she suppose to act.

'Remember Mirai, you're a genin now. No more Shikamaru-niichan, It's Shikamaru Sensei.'

Mirai did her best to hold her composure as the names were called. As every name was called she became more anxious; she didn't know who was going to be on her team.

And the fact that Shino was reading the names, slowly in his brooding voice wasn't calming down her nerves, it was doing the opposite.

'If he doesn't read those names any faster, I'm going to take the clipboard and read the names off myself.'

Her crimson eyes looked up at the ceiling in agony as if he was purposely going this slow to make the butterflies in her stomach go crazy.

"Mirai, why are you so jittery." Mirai's best friend since childbirth, Kako looked towards her with a eyebrow raised and a questioning look.

Kako had long flowing dark grey hair, with perfectly matching colored eyes, and skin the color of coffee. And the two of them talked since little girls how they'll be on the same team fighting together. Mirai's wind style mixed with the girls sound jutsu made for a perfect combination.

"Well the Hokage's standing in front, and we're two seconds from finding out our teammates. Things that make people really antsy."

As the two girls were talking, another team had been formed, and that left four boys and two girls left remaining.

"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be put together. We always have been." Kako winked at her with a reassuring smile, making Mirai feel less anxious.

"Team 14 which would be led by Inuzuka Kiba will include Onishi Ki, Sugimoto Arashi and Hareni Kako."

The two girls looked at each other in shock, before the sadness filled their body, and Kako left to stand by her Sensei, her eyes not leaving Mirai's. Both of them felt tears running forming, their dream completely ruined. But they remembered they were Shinobi, and couldn't cry over something so small.

'So much for that dream' She quickly looked at the last two boys standing, and instantly she hoped there had been a mistake somewhere.

"Team 10 which would be led by Nara Shikamaru Fujiwara Kaori, Noguchi Kanjiru and Sarutobi Mirai."

Not only did she get separated from her best friend, but got stuck with the loud mouth in the class and the quiet kid that never talks. This felt like a dream and she only wanted to be woken up. Two people she barely talked to, was now suppose to come people she trust.

Mirai walked over to Shikamaru and studied her teammates. 'Ughh' She thought she said this low so that only she could engage in her own frustration, but it wasn't the case.

"What's wrong?" Shikamaru whispered to her, quickly before Naruto made his speech that he gave all the new genin.

"It's nothing." She reassured him before looking at the Hokage.

"You are all genin now. You wear your headband with pride for your village and to show that you've begun your journey as Shinobi. This journey will be long, that's why you have comrades to take this along with you. Eventually in time you will learn the true meaning of being a Shinobi and it starts with the three of you acting as a team."

Naruto's face was serious, but Mirai couldn't see how these two guys that she had nothing in common with could help her. So instead of cheering like everyone else, she couldn't help but sit there with despondency on her face.

'Are those two really suppose to help me.'
