Chapter 2: The Creation of Team 17!!
"I passed!! I passed!!" Taiki yells as he runs out of the academy toward Rei.
"See Rei I passed the test and now I'm a Genin" he says as he points to his forehead protector.
"That's great Taiki I passed too" she replies as she points to her forehead protector around her neck.
"I can't believe it, now we are going to get missions and learn some advanced jutsus… I can't wait" Taiki says spastically.
"Hold on… they still need to put us in three man groups and assign our Jounin teachers" she says.
Elsewhere…
"So are you up to this?" a voice asks
The figure that is asked this question nods his head and leaves the room.
"So that settles all the matters with the new graduates" the voice says.
Back At the Academy…
One of the teachers goes outside where all of the new graduates are gathered and says "Everyone quiet down, now I need everyone to go back inside to get your team and sensei assignments."
The Genins all look at each other and run back inside excited about who they are going to be paired with.
Taiki, Rei and the rest of the class are sitting chatting with each other.
"I hope we get put in the same group." Taiki says as he looks at Rei
"That would be cool but it's a long shot that will happen" she says with a little grin on her face.
Just as she says that Shikamaru comes in with a paper and says. "Ok guys now for the pairings."
Taiki and Rei become more and more nervous as Shikamaru starts to name the teams.
"Now the next team will be Takeo Natsuki, Riki Tetsuko, and Sora Suzaku"
A surprised look comes over Rei's face and she looks over to Sora and Hideo, Sora looks sad and Hideo consoles her.
"And the last team is Taiki Uchiha, Rei Miyuki, and Hideo Hyuga" Shikamaru says.
"What???" Sora yells as she looks even more upset. Rei and Taiki look just as shocked.
"Now the teams go out in the hall and find the room where you are going to meet your sensei." Shikamaru says.
The class gets up and leaves in their groups. Sora is seen kissing Hideo goodbye and she leaves with her team. He looks back at his new team and walks out into the hall. The three are quiet as they walk down the hall to their room. Noticing the silence Taiki tries to break it.
"So can you believe it Rei we got paired up, that's unbelievable?"
"Yea, it's pretty amazing." Rei says as he looks ahead at Hideo who is walking ahead of both of them.
The team finally gets to their room assignment and enters. Inside there is no sensei waiting for them so they all pull up seats. Taiki is talking to Rei who is not really listening but day dreaming. Annoyed with the lateness of the sensei and Taiki's yapping that does not seem to be letting up Hideo yells.
"Taiki can you please shut up and stop trying to kick game to Rei you are making a fool of yourself!!"
Taiki's face turns beet red and out of self defense yells back.
"You know what Hideo I didn't want to be on the same team with you, in fact you're the last person I wanted to be on the same team with. And you are lucky that you are because I would have kicked your ass already."
Hideo gets up and gets face to face with Taiki and replies.
"O yea, I would love to see that."
Both of them give each other looks and are about to go at it when the door opens. The three of them look up at the door and see their new sensei.
"Shikamaru sensei?? What are you doing here?" Rei asks.
"Well guys, I'm apparently your new sensei." Shikamaru replies.
"Hold on, I thought you only taught at the academy?" Taiki inquires.
"Well that was true, but since the recent increase in missions and need for Jounins there are not enough to take on Genin. So they asked me to do it." Shikamaru answers with a smile. "So why don't you guys take your seats so we could get started already."
Taiki and Hideo take their seats and Shikamaru takes his.
"Ok… so why don't you one by one tell me about yourselves."
Taiki starts things off by saying "My name is Taiki Uchiha and my dream is to be recognized and show everyone that I'm not a screw up."
"Ok….Like I've never heard that one before. Next." Shikamaru says.
"I don't really feel like telling my life story to you guys. So I'm not going to reveal anything but my name which is Hideo Hyuga" Hideo replies.
"Thank you Hideo I can now get home 5 minutes earlier. Next!"
"I just want to get stronger and in the process hopefully I can fix the mistakes of my past" Rei says as she looks in Hideo's direction but he has his head down.
"That's good. Now that we are done you guys can leave. But I expect you three back here in the morning for survival training." Shikamaru addresses the team then gets up and leaves.
Hideo gets up quick and walks out. Taiki and Rei get up and leave together. Taiki then says to Rei
"I don't know what you see in that guy?"
Rei replies nervously "What do you mean?"
"It's pretty obvious you keep looking at him and it seems that you two had a past. So what's up?" Taiki says trying to pry.
"Taiki please don't get involved in things you know nothing about." Rei replies and walks ahead of Taiki.
"Ok???? I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Taiki yells out as Rei continues to walk.
Taiki walks home but thinks to himself "I will find out what happened between those two, come on we are on the same team I am bound to find out sooner or later."
The sun sets and the three teammates go to bed…till tomorrow.
