The ten-tails chosen three

Chapter 4 team 11

Akina and Emiko had just got back to Naruto's apartment, and where sat on the couch with their rucksacks making sure they had everything they needed for the day. They had just got back from the shops after getting some new pyjamas, toiletries and some food. They had woken up Kuro and Naruto as soon as they got back, as it was nearly half seven and they only had an hour and a half to get to the academy on time. Kuro and Naruto were currently getting ready for the day, while the girls sat waiting for them. Kagemaru and Murasakimaru were curled up on the floor asleep.

"Come on guys hurry up, we want to get there early so we can introduce are self's" Akina shouted up to the lads upstairs in Narutos room. Kuro shouted down, "We won't be a second, just hang on". Emiko sighed and shook her head, "she knew this would happen. It was the exact same as what would happen when her and Kuro used to get ready for school. She would always be ready, waiting for Kuro, and they would only just make it before the bell. Well it won't happen this time. She would make sure of it. Akin sighed clearly impatient, and was about to get up and scream up to the lads, when they both came bounding down the stairs.

Naruto was fixing his hip pouch, and Kuro shoving his pack on. "It's about time you two!" Akina said, getting up from the couch and heading for the door. "Were sorry, we were looking for Naruto's headband" Kuro explained, while Naruto looked embarrassed. Emiko started giggling, and went over to wake up kagemaru, who stretched and yawned before climbing up to Emiko's shoulder. Murasakimaru did the same with Kuro. Akina looked at the clock on the wall, and saw that it was quarter to eight, "aghh come on stop dawdling we need to get going" and with that Akina rushed out of the door. The others just looked at each other and smiled at her impatience. They all followed suite and went after her.

"This is going to be great! Just think soon we are going to be official ninjas!" Naruto was saying with excitement, he was bouncing around he was that excited. Akina sweet dropped and Emiko and Kuro were laughing. They had gotten to the academy and were now stood outside, looking up at the building. It was now quarter past eight, if they wanted to introduce themselves, they would have to get a move on. Emiko started walking towards the entrance, "come on guys let's go inside" and everyone followed behind.

It didn't take them long to find where the classroom was, that they would be sorted into teams. This was mostly because Emiko and Kuro could hear Sakura and Ino arguing as soon as they entered the building. As they rounded the corner they all saw Sakura and Ino outside in the hallway, they were arguing about sasuke. Again. Akina was getting sick of Sakura, already, so she stormed over and was getting ready for a fight. The others followed quickly, so as to stop her if she went too far.

"Just shut up Ino pig, you're so stupid sometimes, how could anyone like you go out with sasuke?" Sakura was saying to Ino with disgust, Ino was furious, she was about to argue back, when she was interrupted by Akina. "Listen up Sakura if you don't stop having ago at Ino all the time, so help me I will.." Akina started getting angrier and angrier by the second. Sakura said back calm and cool, "you will what, what will you do?" and in that second Emiko appeared behind Akina, and Sakura regretted her actions immediately. Emiko snarled, "You will have to deal with me, that's what will happen" and Emiko was still growling as Sakura backed away into the classroom, an took her seat.

Akina looked over to Emiko, she was still growling, her eyes were thin and she was in a fighting stance, shoulders forward and hands in tight fists. Akina didn't know how to calm her down, she had never seen her like this before, but just as she was about to say something. A dark figure came swooping out of the room and went over to Emiko. The figure went behind her and held her close, and whispered something in her ear. Emiko calmed down instantly, and everyone saw that the figure was in fact Kiba. He backed away from Emiko and joined the group so everyone could see him properly, he then faced Emiko and asked with worry, "Are you ok now Emiko, did anyone hurt you, because if they did I will rip them to shreds"

Everyone looked shocked at how worried Kiba was about Emiko, they all knew that he was there friend and it was fine to be worried about your friend, but for him to be that worried, then he must like her more than a friend. Only Ino really understood how Kiba felt about Emiko, because she had been friends with him since they were younger, and she had seen him when he cared for someone, and this defiantly showed that he cared for Emiko. The only one who didn't see anything wrong or weird about it was, Emiko. She just looked at Kiba and smiled, "that's ok Kiba, I'm fine, plus I would of ripped them to shreds myself" kagemaru barked in agreement.

Everyone sweet dropped. How clueless can you be? Well obviously Emiko could be very clueless. They all giggled at the awkward situation and went into the classroom. It was quite a large room, with several rows of desks, which were separate from each other, with a column at either side and one in the middle. They could seat three people per desk, so Kiba went back to his seat next to two other people, while Ino sat in front with her other friends. Naruto had disappeared somewhere, but they guessed that he was probably talking to Sakura. They were right.

It didn't matter though, because Ino was introducing them to her friends. Ino gestured to her left, "guys this is choji, choji this is Akina, Emiko and Kuro" all three of them said "hi" at the same time, choji was eating some crisps, and said hi between bites. Ino sighed, and turned to her right, "and this is shikamaru, shikamaru this is Akina, Emiko and Kuro" shikamaru sighed, "hi, god this is such a drag, why did I have to wake up so early" they all said hi again and Ino then focused back on them.

Ino said with a smile, "So you guys excited?" they all smiled back and Kuro said bouncing on his toes, "yeah this is so cool!" Ino giggled, "yeah it is, but not as cool as having you all as friends" they were all flattered and blushed. Akina said, "aww thanks Ino I'm glad you are friend to, I can't wait for us to get to know each other" Ino nodded, "yeah same here, but I also know someone who is very glad that you are his friend, and one of you in particular" Ino smirked and Akina and Kuro caught on straight away, but Emiko had no idea what she was on about.

"What do you mean Ino?" Emiko asked. They all sweet dropped and Ino just said, "Just go talk to Kiba ok" Emiko smiled and nodded, "ok I will". So Emiko walked to the next desk up, while the others were watching her every move. Kiba was talking to a girl with short dark hair, which had a purple gleam to it, they all knew she was hinata. "So then when Sakura had insulted her I just had to step in and defend her" Kiba was explaining to hinata. He knew he could tell her because she was good at keeping secrets, plus she was shy so he knew she wouldn't tell anyone. Hinata nodded, "so it sounds like you like her then?" Kiba blushed and replied, "Well, yeah I guess" Hinata looked in front of her and gasped, "well get ready because she's coming this way".

Kiba shot up instantly, and saw that Hinata was right, Emiko was coming straight this way. What should he do, what should he say, Kiba was panicking and going bright red. Emiko was over in a few seconds, "hi Kiba, who's this?" Kiba stumbled over his words, "this is Hinata, Hinata this is Emiko". Hinata smiled at Emiko, "hi" Emiko smiled, "hi, any friend of Kiba is a friend of mine, we should hang out soon" Hinata blushed, "yeah s sure". Emiko brought her attention back to Kiba, who was getting redder by the minute, this could possibly be because Emiko was leaning on the desk by her arms, and because of this her chest was rather exposed, not properly by skin, but her top was tight enough for Kiba's imagination to go wild.

Emiko noticed that Kiba had gone red and was stiff, Emiko asked concerned, "are you ok Kiba, are you hot you look a bit red?". Kiba thought to himself, 'I'm not hot, but you are... WAIT WHAT THE HELL KIBA?' he mentally kicked himself so he wouldn't say something he would live to regret, "I'm fine, it's just a bit warm in here that's all" Emiko smiled glad that Kiba was ok and not ill or something. Akimaru jumped down from Kiba's head and walked over to Emiko, he started sniffing her hand then licked it showing it was ok for her to pet him. Kiba was shocked, Akimaru wasn't that friendly with anyone but him, must be because he can tell how Kiba feels about her.

Kagemaru jumped down from Emiko's shoulder and started playing with Akimaru. Emiko giggled at the sight as did Hinata. Kiba melted at the sound of her laugh, it was the best sound in the world, and he never wanted it to stop. He jumped when Emiko nudged his shoulder to get his attention, he had zoned out again. "Hey Kiba there going to put us in teams soon, so I'm going to sit with Akina and Kuro, see you later ok". Kiba just nodded to her when she left with Kagemaru, and Hinata looked over at him and said, "well s she seems n nice". Kiba nodded again, at a loss for words.

"She's coming back, quick turn around and act normal" Ino said hurriedly. Once Emiko got back and was sat next to Akina, Akina asked, "So what happened then?" Emiko looked over to see two very curious girls that were on the edges of their seats, and a very uncomfortable Kuro. Emiko said simply, "well we just talked and Kiba introduced me to Hinata, that's all, why what was meant to happen?". The girls face palmed, and sighed, Akina said, "Oh nothing, just asking, anyway the teacher should be here soon". As if on cue there was a poof of smoke at the front of the classroom, and Iruka sensei was in its place.

"alright quiet down now, I'm going to announce the teams and then you will go off with your team and get to know each other, learn your strengths and weaknesses, and then tomorrow you will meet up with your team leaders" everyone was hanging on Iruka's every word, this was what they had been waiting for their whole lives, and it was about to happen. "Team 7, Naruto Usumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchia" Naruto cheered at having Sakura in his team, and Sakura cheered at having Sasuke on her team, Naruto was upset that he was on his team, he hated him.

"team 8, Hinata Huyga, Kiba inuzuka and shino aburame" Kiba was devastated, he had hoped that he would of been on mikes team, get to know her, looks like it would be more difficult for him now. Hinata also looked upset, mostly because she had wanted to go with Naruto, she had always liked him, but he never seemed to notice, Kiba could relate to that and that's why he and Hinata were good friends an how he could talk so openly with her about this.

"Team 10, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi" Shikamaru sighed, "Oh what a drag, Ino you better not talk about Sasuke all the time" but Ino wasn't listening she was arguing with Sakura, about how she should be with Sasuke. Iruka looked over in their direction, "hey you two quiet down I'm not finished yet" they both stoped instantly and listen to Iruka.

"And finally team 11, Akina Gosuto, Emiko tsuki-ju and Kuro tsuki-ju" the three of them looked at each other, they had expected as much. Iruka coughed, "well then that's that, go and get to know each other, the proper thing starts tomorrow" and with that he disappeared. Akina looked at Emiko, "so what do we do know?" Emiko replied, "I don't know, should be go around the village for a bit?" Kuro spoke up, "yeah we could go look for a training spot". Before anyone could reply to Kuro, all three of them heard a voice in their minds. It was ryo. "I believe that's a very good idea Kuro, I would like you three to go to the waterfall on the other side of the village, that will be are training spot and where I will meet you every day for missions and other such tasks. I will be there waiting for you, so we can talk about what's happened to you in a bit more depth".

Ryo's voice faded on the last word and the three felt as if a weight had been lifted from them. Emiko looked at the others and said, "Shall we get going then?" Akina stood up and replied, "yes let's" and with that Kuro jumped up and ran to the door and shouted, "Come on then let's go!". He ran off with the girls soon following behind.
