Kimiko and Zai continued to bicker as Kaira took a deep breath and looked down at Mei hopelessly.
"Meow." Mei said in a cute manner. Kimiko and Zai both looked over at Mei, who jumped up on the desk.
"Aww! What an adorable kitty." Kimiko squealed, hurrying towards Mei and petting her. "Is this your companion from the Nekoosa clan? What's her name?"
"Mei." Kaira simply said.
"Why did you name her that?" Zai asked, crossing his arms and walking towards his fellow teammates and watching his little sister pet Mei like crazy.
"When she was a baby, she was a dark purple-ish color, like a plum. That was back when I was obsessed with fruit, too, so…" Kaira explained, feeling embarrassed about the story. Kimiko finally picked up Mei and turned towards her squad.
"Hey, let's go eat, I'm hungry, and I'm sure Mei is too!" Kimiko cheered, smiling down at Mei, who meowed her agreement. Kaira and Zai looked at one another.
"What would you like to eat, Kaira?" Zai asked.
"I'm good with just about anything." Kaira shrugged.
"Well, Mei and I want some meat! Maybe some chicken or pork!" Kimiko busted. Her teammates sighed.
"Shouldn't you two be meeting with your parents soon, like the other kids?" Kaira finally asked.
"Nope, our mom is busy working and our dad is out on a mission in a different village." Zai said like it was nothing new. Most kids would be heartbroken if their parents didn't make it to their 'graduation,' well… kids with parents, at least. "What about you?" Kaira jumped and turned away from them. Kimiko noticed Kaira's uncomfortableness.
"Hey, Zai!" Kimiko called, trying to divert his attention, "Buy us lunch, now! I feel like I'm going to faint from starvation."
"That's why you should have eaten breakfast this morning." Zai sighed, putting his hand on his forehead.
"No way; I'd never eat something you cook." Kimiko fought, sticking out her tongue.
"I made a simple recipe: fried eggs."
"Yeah? Well, fried eggs aren't supposed to be green!"
"Meow." Mei added, making the siblings calm again. Mei seems to be able to calm everyone down by just meowing.
"Mei's hungry." Kaira explained. Zai and Kimiko backed away from each other and looked down at Mei, the same time Kimiko's stomach growled.
"M-Me too…" Kimiko shyly added.
"You're hopeless, Kimiko." Zai uttered. Kimiko glared at Zai when he turned away from her. Then the newly formed Team 9 started out the Academy to find something to eat.
.:One Hour Later:.
Team 9 was walking back to the Academy, to meet up with their team leader, along with all the other squads. They noticed other new teams walking behind and in front of them, but none of these squads were filled with people they knew.
They finally walked into their old classroom and saw only a few squads left, such as, Sasuke's, Kiba's, and Shikamaru's.
"Sasuke!" Kaira chanted, running over to him and taking a seat next to him. His team, Sakura and Naruto eyed Kaira like she was crazy for doing that. Sasuke glanced at her before turning towards her. Then Kaira started telling him stories about her lunch with her new, not-so-smart squad.
Kimiko and Zai shrugged it off and took a seat by Shikamaru's squad. "Heyy, Shika!" Kimiko sing-songed. "I felt like I haven't seen you in forever!"
"It's only been an hour, Kimi." Shikamaru said plainly. Kimi then nudged Shikamaru playfully as she smiled. "What are you doing?" Kimiko giggled and touched his headband, on his arm. "Uh?" Then, out of nowhere, she hit his head and he slouched forward.
"Ah! What a useless teammate…" Ino sighed, putting her hands in her head. "Kimi, why'd you do that?"
"He wasn't expecting it." Kimi giggled at her success.
"Kimiko likes surprising people." Zai explained, glancing at Ino; Ino leaned back and crossed her arms. Shika sat back up and gave Kimi a look that was part glare, but was his normal, bored look. Then he leaned over towards her and put his hands up to grab her, but she grabbed his arms and held him back.
"Oops." Kimi giggled again.
"Kimi!" Shikamaru said through closed teeth.
"…and then, when we got our food, Kimi threw her food at Zai's face! He had jelly all over." Kaira laughed, hitting the desk like her story was so funny. Sasuke just stared at her with a straight face. Kaira put her arm over him and smiled. Sakura and Naruto then became jealous. Sakura, of Kaira; Naruto, of Sasuke. "Sasuke, you're such a downer, sometimes." Kaira said, pulling away from him. Then she felt the radiates of a glare, so she followed the feeling and her purple eyes landed on black ones. Kiba. He was glaring at her from across the room. He was sitting with his team as well, Shino and Hinata. Hinata was holding Akamaru and petting him while he slept on her lap.
Unknown to them, Zai was watching and studying Kiba, wondering what he would do after he stopped glaring at Kaira.
Kaira simply glared back and turned back towards Sasuke. Kiba made a fist and Zai wondered if Kiba was jealous. Maybe he was just jealous because they were enemies, yet, Kaira was totally ignoring him. Yeah, that had to be it, right?
The door opened and in walked two adults. One was a lady with black hair and red eyes, and the other was a man, with blueish-grey hair and dark eyes.
"Squad 10." The man said. "My name is Asuma Sarutobi." He introduced himself. Shikamaru and Kimi released each other from their tiny fight as Ino and Chouji made their way over to their new sensei. Shikamaru followed behind them slowly.
"I'm here from Squad 8; my name is Kurenai Yuhi." The lady said. Hinata looked at her teammates shyly and followed Shino when he walked towards their sensei. Kaira looked at Kiba, and they shared a long, neutral look before Kiba got up and went with his squad.
"Kaira." Sasuke said, breaking Kaira's thoughts about Kiba.
"Oh, huh?" She said, clearly not focused.
"You were distracted." Sasuke stated the obvious.
"Staring at Kiba?" Kimiko asked, her and Zai appearing before Kaira and Sasuke. Kaira jumped and quickly turned to glare at Kimiko.
"No, I wasn't." Kaira hissed.
"Ah, he's so late." Naruto said out of nowhere. Everyone in the room turned towards him and he walked up to the chalkboard and grabbed the eraser.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked. Kaira yawned and leaned over the desk as she watching Naruto put the eraser over the door.
"That's what he gets for being to late." Naruto laughed.
"Heyy," Kaira slurred. Naruto looked at her and she banged on the desk for no reason, "What if our sensei comes in?" Kaira asked. Naruto flinched at Kaira's scary aura. Kimiko playfully hit Kaira's head and giggled.
"Oh well!" Kimi said, balancing Kaira's aura with her own happy aura. Right after that, the door opened and a man with grey hair popped his head in and the eraser fell on him. Naruto and Kimiko laughed at him and he turned towards them.
"What a stupid, old man!" laughed a voice from behind the door. The voice pushed the previous man out of the way and in walked a tall lady with long grey hair, matching the man's, but her eyes were turquoise, whereas, his was black. He walked in after the girl and he had on a mask covering one of his eyes. "Hey! My name is Shizuka Hatake and I'm here for Squad 9." She said in a voice as smooth as velvet, but as sharp as a thousand knives. Kaira quickly sat up, taking a quick liking to her new sensei. Mei stretched out before following Kaira to Shizuka. "This is my older brother, Hatake Kakashi." Shizuka introduced her big brother, who was hit by the eraser. Kimi and Zai exchange looks of fear; their sensei looked beautiful, but she seemed scary. Kinda like Kaira. Wait… The twins looked at Shizuka-sensei and Kaira standing next to each other.
"Zai, we'll surely die if we enter that squad!" Kimi whispered. Zai nodded quickly as both took a step back.
Shizuka and Kaira smiled at them and it made Kimi and Zai's fear grow. "Are you two shy?" Shizuka asked. The Kazumi's shook their head. Kaira walked over to them, grabbed them, and followed Shizuka-sensei out the door, leaving Team 7 behind.
