Everyone leaves the science room, talking and laughing, and makes their way to their next class with Anoka's, Ayana's and Naruto's squad heading toward Genjutsu with Kurenai while Taini's and Kayame's squads head toward Taijutsu with Might Guy.
"Listen up, everyone! Today we are going to master the Illusionary Illuminati Technique." Kurenai says as she looks at the class.
"But...we've only been working on that technique the last week..." Ino says in an unsure voice. Ayana turns to glare at her, causing Ino to shrink away in fear.
"Can anyone demonstrate?" Kurenai ask, looking around the class with expectant eyes. Both Anoka and Sakura's hands shoot.
"Typical." Kuro says, rolling his eyes.
"Anoka. Please come up here and show us the Illuminati Technique." Kurenai says, motioning toward the spot next to her desk. Anoka winks at Naruto as she walks up to the front of the classroom. Naruto blushes, Sakura glares and Sasuke rolls his eyes. Once to the front of the class, Anoka makes some hand signs, and holds them in a position like she's holding a ball. "How many Anoka's do you see?" Kurenai asks, looking at the class.
"Hundreds." Shikamaru says, his eyes darting unconsciously around, trying to find the real one.
"Thousands." Choji says before stuffing another handful of chips into his mouth.
"Four hundred and fifty." Sasuke says in a distant voice.
"Correct!" Kurenai says, smiling. Everyone looks at Sasuke, who shrugs.
"She told us this on the first day we started this technique." Sasuke says in an all knowing voice.
"And what happens if you attack the wrong one?" Kurenai asks, looking around the room once again.
"A burning flash of light that's up to hundreds of degrees Celsius." Ayana says as she flips through one of her books in a bored kind of way. Kurenai's eye twitches.
"Very good. Now, try to attack one." Kurenai says, motioning toward the hundreds of Anoka.
"Me...?" Ayana asks, looking at Kurenai with questioning eyes.
"Yes, you!" Kurenai shouts, glaring at Ayana, who carefully steps to the front of the room to face the 450 Anoka's. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes for a moment while mumbling to herself.
"Um...okay...Ayana...focus...concentrate...you can do this." Ayana mumbles to herself before opening her eyes. The real Anoka blinks followed by the 449 illusion Anoka's blinking. Ayana looks around the ground of Anoka's. "Okay, I have to look for the one who's a little ahead of the others in her movements." Ayana says, watching as the 450 Anoka's take a step to the left. They all suddenly turn to look at Ayana, causing her to spot the one ahead of the others, and attacks. Anoka moves out of the way at the last second, causing Ayana to miss. Ayana makes one more lightning fast movement and pins the real Anoka to the wall. The other 449 other Anoka's to disappear.
"Excellent! If those two can do it, so can the rest of you! Grab a partner and practice!" Kurenai says, motioning around the room. After an hour of practice, the bell rings.
"LUNCH!" Choji shouts in between the chips in his mouth.
"How can you still be hungry...?" Anoka asks, looking at the pile of about twenty empty chip bags next to Choji's desk. He shrugs. Naruto walks up and takes Anoka's hand. Shikamaru puts his arm around Ayana's shoulder. They all walk to the lunch room.
"Hey! Are you hungry or what!" Kayame shouts as they meet outside the lunch room door.
"Hellz yeah!" Taini shouts, grinning.
"Sure..." Anoka says in a disheartened voice.
"What's wrong?" Naruto whispers into Anoka's ear. She gets herself a salad, and a bottle of water.
"...Illuminati is my best technique...and Ayana saw right through it!" Anoka says in a confused voice. Naruto smiles.
"It's all right, Noka. If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't tell which one was the real you." Naruto says with a goofy grin plastered to his face. Anoka starts laughing.
"It does...thanks Naruto." Anoka says, smiling as she sets her tray down on the table with everyone else.
Lunch is soon over, and they all hear toward their classes. About twenty minutes into her Choir class, Anoka rubs her head, which hurt. She didn't know why. It could have been the bright lights, or the high Soprano voices surrounding her own, she didn't know. All she knew was that her head was pounding, and she felt dizzy. Her vision blurs, and she sways to the left, like she's going to pass out, causing her to bump into the guy sitting next to her, almost knocking him over.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Anoka says as she looks at the guy.
"It's all right. Are you okay?" The guy asks, smiling.
"Yeah, just a dizzy spell, sorry..." Anoka says, smiling apologetically. The guy holds Anoka around the waist.
"Do you want to sit down?" The guy asks.
"No, I think I'll be all right." Anoka says a she shakes her head. The guy holds up a bottle of water.
"If you don't mind drinking off me, you can have a few sips." The guy says, holding the bottle toward Anoka. She grins, and takes the bottle.
"Thank you!" Anoka says as she takes a good, long sip, and hands the bottle back.
"I'll catch you if you fall again." The guy says as he touches Anoka's arm. "Okay?" He asks.
"Okay." Anoka says, giggling.
At that moment, Naruto, who is two rows down from Anoka looks up at her. He sees this guy with his hand on her arm, and her laughing at something he just said. Naruto turns away, hurt, and plans to confront her after class.
