Okay so I wanted to add something in, that I figured should be brought up... Because obviously they can't be moving their bodies or any of that, the way they control themselves in game is the same way everything seems real to them while in game, it's all through eletromagnetic waves and all that lovely stuffs. So basically if their reaction time sucks out of game it's still going to suck in game... Thus it's not going to be exp. based for strength and agility and the sorts. They will be able to power up and such it's just not EXP they'll be getting... It'll be more like CP (if you've ever played FFXIII you'll know what I mean)! Something I figured I should bring up ^^
The poll is up and running for who you want Naru to end up with (final pairing), so go vote! Ino is currently in the lead!

CH. 3 - Not My Day
Kiba's POV
With a sigh I throw my school bag on my floor before falling back onto my messy bed with a plop. I'm exhausted, first day of school and I'm already fed up with it. I mean, yeah, I enjoy hanging out with Hinata and Naruko… But I don't like school. That and I don't know how to face Naruko right now, I mean we left school last year and she was still so kiddish looking, but we come back this year and it's like 'WHAM!' in your face kind of thing… Although not like I'd tell her that, and I mean she still has ways to go before she's as hot as her sister, but damn.
And Hinata, what's with her at hitting me when I call Phantasmic an idiot?! Geez, I don't get what she sees in him; I mean he fights like a girl! Uh, don't let Hinata or Naruko know I said that, eh… They'd kick my ass. Yeah I know I have my headstrong idiotic moments, but I think that's all he has. He's like what would happen if you somehow combined Naruko's, Hinata's, and my personality… Let me rephrase that; he's the mix of all our bad qualities. He has Hinata's temper, Naru's loud and spastic side, and he has my brash and idiotic side… Are there any good qualities about him?! Hm, I wonder if Hinata likes him for his looks… No, that can't be it, can it? Ugh! Why am I even thinking about this crap?!
I run my hand through my messy hair exasperatedly, and yes I know what that word means, I'm not that much of an idiot… With a groan I get up and trudge over to my computer, normally I'm excited to get in game, but not today… Today I just want to curl up and go to sleep, or better yet, pummel the idiot that slammed the door into Naru's head, that bastard, and didn't even show a hint of remorse on top of it! A small growl slips through my lips as I turn on my desktop and set up the game, not like there's much to set up- in some way it's like a regular MMORPG, in how you have to log in and all, but still a lot of differences even from that—I log in, and think of looking at the chat but decide not to, instead just slipping the visor on. I hear the ever-familiar buzz of the visor that quickly fades to white noise, before the colorful and enriched hues of the game seem to materialize around me like a finely crafted illusion.
"Arf Arf!"
My eyes drift down to see my beloved ninken, Akamaru, looking up at me happily, his tail wagging happily. Any and all frustration and anger from the day ebbs off as I bend down and ruffle his fur before he jumps into my arms –he may be computer generated but I adore him nonetheless.
"Ki-…ano… Anthro-kun," I hear an, oh too familiar, voice call out.
"Shy-chan," I nod in greeting as I turn to face Hinata. A small smirk setting on my face as I remember the first time I saw her in game, I had been so confused… It had been like rewinding time with her personality, but the long hair is what threw me off the most, she's never cared for long hair on herself. It had taken quite a while to get used to, but now, now it doesn't bother me, I bet it'd bother Naruko though… That's if she didn't go berserk about the personality switch first.
"Eto… A-are you ready f-for class," She mumbled, her demeanor already changing to that of her characters.
With a sigh I nod, Akamaru jumping up and curling into a ball on my head, as we set off to the school, passing the computer generated civilians as we went.
"Are you excited?" Hinata murmurs quietly beside me as we near the ninja academy. I look at her, confusion I'm sure clearly written on my face for she quickly continued, "For the genin examinations? We'll be taking them soon."
Exams… I hate exams… Probably just about as much as Naruko hates frogs and anything slimy, or people saying bad things about those she cares for, or people flirting with her sister, or well… you get the point, right?
I feel Akamaru's tail hit the back of my head, "Urgh… Akamaru what the heck…" I open the doors to the academy letting Hinata in first, "not really, but I've never been keen on exams…"
"True… Ah! Anthro watch out!" Not even a millisecond after she said that I'm barely dodging out of the way of desk flying through the air.
"What the hell!" I gasp out, holding my chest at the near heart attack I had.
Ino's POV
"Tadaima," I call out, knowing quite well that no one is home, even if it was a bit sad not to hear a response. It's normal, but it never fails to make me sigh. My parents are rarely ever home, my mother works all day at her flower shop, and dad is always away for work, sometimes weeks on end. The only constant I have in my life is School and playing 'Shinobi Nations'. I know what you must be thinking, I'm such a loser right? But what else am I supposed to do, I've tried extra curricular activities but they never hold my interest, it's always full of two-faced fake bitches… Heh, guess I should fit in perfect right? I mean I ditched Shikamaru and Choji, two of my best friends since I was a little kid, to hang out with a girl, Sakura, that I now have to pretend to be rivals with just so she'll even talk to me…
I silently walk through the unlit halls of the house and enter my vibrant purple room, slumping onto my crystal white beanbag as my hand releases my purse onto the floor beside me. Slowly I scan the room, my eyes landing on my bedside table, three pictures all next to each other. One is a picture of my parents standing happily behind me, each with a hand on my shoulder; it was my kindergarten graduation. The next is a picture of Shikamaru and Choji in a sandbox and I'm off to the side pointing and telling them what to do, we were probably about four; I was such a brat back then. The last picture is of Sakura and me, it was our first day of graduation, we had dressed as cute as we could and made our hair adorable that day… But that was before she decided that some guy was more important than our friendship. I used to be so happy; I used to never let anything bring me down, what happened?
A lone tear glides down my cheek and I quickly wipe it away, there's no use on crying over the past. After all soon I'll be in high school, and from what I saw today, it looks like I'll be able to make some really good friends!
Ya know that I'm a crazy bitch! I do what I want when I feel like it!
"Gah!" I fumble around some, quickly rummaging through my purse and pulling out my phone, seeing the Sakura's nickname flash across the screen.
With a roll of my eyes I answer my cell, "What forehead?"
"Ino-pig get your stupid ass online now!" I pull my ear away from the phone at her indignant screech. Ugh, my poor ear drums…
"And what if I don't feel like it, huh billboard-brow?" a smirk splays across my face as I can hear her fume on the other side at the nickname.
The line goes eerily quiet before I hear her voice again that I'm sure is accompanied by a sadistic grin, "Then I'll tell baka Phantasmic that you love him! I'm sure he'd enjoy hearing someone wants him! And then I'll have Bladez-kun all to myself!"
"Oh hell no Sakura! Don't you dare!" I ground out; it's not that I hate, or even dislike, Phantasmic… But there is something off about him that I just can't place! And not to add he could learn how to at least make himself look a little more decent… Wow that makes me sound really shallow.
"Then hurry up you pig!" Sakura yells and effectively ends the call with.
I stare at my phone for a moment and sigh, the things I put up with. Stretching back I grab my laptop of my desk a little ways away from me, pulling the visor –that happened to be laying on top of the laptop-with it, scrambling to catch the visor as it slid off my laptop. With a grumble I stare it up and quickly log in, fearing that if I didn't, it would be the one-day Phantasmic would show up early.
No sooner than the game materializes and I find myself tumbling to the ground, what the hell?! I hear mumblings, about stupid pigs always being in the way, and frown, I guess Sakura ran into me… Great. Well at least I know she hasn't gotten the chance to do something stupid yet. Getting up I dust myself off, and notice Sakura is getting up as well and scowling at me; ouch, that hurts Sakura.
I see an all too familiar gleam in her eye as she takes off for the academy, oh hell no, if she thought she was going to beat me… So I might've forgotten to mention, I have a bit of a competitive streak to me. Quickly I race after her, easily catching up and running side by side with her, which unfortunately means trying to squish through the same door as her; which one would normally think I'd be sick of doing by now, but nope, it's almost a daily ritual.
"Hah! I win! Take that piggy!" She shouts triumphantly before deflating at the fact her dear 'Bladez-kun' wasn't even there yet.
"As if billboard," I retort with a roll of my eyes; I know we're acting childish, I really do, and I hate that we are, but I don't want to loose that last connection with her I have.
"Bubblegum-chan," a familiar ball of sunshine yells out, before clinging to Sakura happily, so happily in fact that I can't help but smile. But the happy moment is ruined the moment Sakura throws Phantasmic across the room, yelling at him to stay away from her—just with more colorful words.
Sighing some I sit down, watching as the overly energetic blonde tries gaining the favor of the, currently, pinkette—who might I add should've just had her hair the same color as it is out of game, the strawberry blonde compliments her eyes and skin so much better than that horrid pink. I notice Phantasmic barely conceal a grimace as he asks her out on a date, which was quickly turned down; what was interesting though was that the more I paid attention the more it seemed he was just putting up an act… Maybe he doesn't like Sakura? Or maybe he's finally realizing that she's too obsessed with Bladez right now, and until she's passed that she won't notice anyone else.
"What's so special about that broody bastard anyways," the blonde whines out, my ears ringing some at the pitch; that idiot, is he trying to piss Sakura off? That's just going to set her on a warpath! I could punch him just for being stupid enough to say something like that to her of all people, and I'm sure some people notice it because they're backing away from me… Great, just great; as if they didn't already think I was nuts.
"Phantasmic," oh shit… I shudder as the room drops temperature; my eyes go wide as Sakura picks up a desk and hurls it at him.
A sigh of relief softly escapes my lips as the idiotic ball of sunshine barely dodges the desk.
"Ah! Anthro watch out!" Shy's voice echoes around the room, followed by the crashing of the desk hitting either the wall or floor, I'm not too sure, and at the moment it doesn't matter, what matters is that my friend didn't just accidentally murder a classmate!
I practically jump out of my seat and rush over to see Anthro clutching at his chest, which I don't blame him for that; it probably scared the hell out of him… This may be a game, but as long as you have the visor on you can feel everything that happens, and that would've hurt like hell.
Sasuke's POV
After a long and horrid day I was not expecting to go into game to find a desk in the hallway, and Anthro on his ass and pale as pale can be.
"What the hell you nut case," Anthro yells out, as he points in the room; I'm figuring at a specific person, more than likely who was behind the desk being in the hall in the first place.
"It was supposed to hit that baka Phantasmic, not almost hit you Anthro," I hear an all too familiar voice spit out with vehemence.
What did that dobe do this time? He needs to take some lessons from his sisters, while they may be nuts they are obviously much smarter than him, although I'm not sure I want him like that demon blonde, she's just plain scary, that and her friend… I feel a shudder rake through my body remembering the threats of a gruesome death. And people wonder why I stay away from females? Uchiha or not, females are scary, especially fangirls, but even more so were those two demon spawns that just happen to be friends—as if one wasn't bad enough.
With a sigh I trudge into the classroom, my face stoic like always. Almost, I repeat almost, cringing at the squeal of delight from Bubblegum before she tried clinging to me. Luckily Diva pries her off of me quickly; too bad it's only to argue over me, like always… Do they seriously not have anything better to do? Stupid fangirls… scratch that; it should just be stupid girls.
Tuning out the arguing I take a seat and face the chalkboard, hoping that the day doesn't get any worse, or crazier.
