Wee! Here Ya'll go!
Chapter 10- Graduation!
After four years of Suna Ninja Academy and Konoichi training, the students of the sand village were finally ready to face the real world on their own. Oni, now eleven ears old, was to graduate today if she woke up in time. "Oi Oni! Wake up you're going to be late!" a fourteen year old Kankuro yelled through the window ajacent to Oni's head.
Oni just swatted him away from her head and quickly pulling a pillow over it, "Go..." Oni mumbled some nasty things about the older Genin. Kankuro laughed, "You know that class has started-"
Oni shot up and hit him in the head, "What? And you didn't tell me this why!" She quickly rushed to her closet and quickly threw her cothes on. Oni jumped out of the window and grabbed Kankuro's arm to drag him to the school.
"Fushimi-" Oni burst through the door durring roll-call and quickly sat in a seat. Everyone was snickering at the teacher who didn't seem to notice Oni's loud entry.
"Did I miss anything?" Oni whispered to her friend, Fushimi. He gave her a look, "Nothing yet, but if you came any later you would miss your-" "Sumei Oni?" The teacher called from the front of the room "Sumei Oni are you here?" Oni quickly raised her hand and said "I'm here,"
The Teacher gave her a sceptical look, "Wow, you came to class today, what is the meaning of this special occation?" Oni blushed, she was notoriously late no matter what day it was. "Well, it is graduation day so I thought I'd stop by," The class snickered as their teacher turned a shade of purple with rage. "You wont be graduating at all if you keep this up!" He shouted and continued with roll-call.
"Nice one Oni!" Fushimi whispered with a smile on his face. Fushimi was one of the brightest students in Oni's class, he aced every test and caught onto techniques easily, he also just so happened to be one of Oni's best friends.
Oni on the other hand, was one of the most lazy in the class, she could learn the techniques, but she was never in school, so she was quite behind in her studies. Kyo worried that she would not even graduate, but she had the abillity, just not the determination, but today was her day to show her stuff.
Oni looked around the room, 'Hm, this is weird...' Oni checked all of the seats in the room, she was looking for a particular carrot top but he was not there. "Hey Fushimi, Do you know where Gaara is?" He winced at the mention of Gaara's name, He had lost his older brother to him when he was little(1).
Fushimi's face sank with a frown, "No, Why? Is he not here?" Oni nodded "Maybe he doesn't want to graduate." He added to lighten the mood. Oni giggled "Miss Oni? Is there something funny I should know about?" The Chunin in front of the class called to Oni. She sank into her chair "No sir, I'm sorry." The dark purple haired man smirked, he loved it when Oni actually obeyed him.
"Well, since you are so excited today, you can be tested first. Everyone please make a line behind Oni," Oni's heart skipped a beat, she hated going up in front of the class. Oni walked to the front of the class with her head drooped.
"We will be testing you on, transforming, cloning, and you have to hit a few targets-" Oni began ruling out how she would do, She had very accurate aim, and she could clone her-self just fine, but transforming-that was a whole differant story--
"Today we will be practicing transforming- everyone find a partner and transfom into him or her" Explained the chuunin in front of class. Oni jumped out of her seat and found a dark green haired boy with violet eyes.
"Hey! Byuu want to be partners?" She asked, no, yelled accross the room. Byuu smled at her and they met in the middle of the class room. "Okay, Byuu you do it first, I'm kind of shakey at this," Byuu put his hands together into the correct formation and transformed into Oni perfectly, "Wow! Its like looking into a living breathing mirror!" Oni giggled. Byuu transformed back to normal in a poof of smoke, "Okay, your turn now, you can look at whatever you look like after you transform with one of my mirrors."
She said with anticipation. Oni looked nervous, she put her hands into formation and made a poof of smoke, when it cleared Byuu's mouth nearly dropped to the ground. Oni looked at one of Byuu's mirrors from his backpack, she looked like a dark green haired monster, her eyes were differant sizes and her skin pigment was a light lavender color. Oni quickly tranformed back into her self and looked at Byuu completely embarassed. Byuu looked at her wide eyed, "Oni! You didn't tell me you were THAT bad!"
--"Well Miss Oni? Come on up, you are first." Oni hated this guy. He told her where to stand, "First you will have to meke five successful clones of your-" Oni had five lively clones walking about, one talking to a friend, and another was poking the teacher in the side. The purple haired chuunin punched the clone in the head to make it disapear. "-self, I suppose you pass this part. Next you have to successfully transform into..."
He looked around the room for a formitable target. "You, Haru, come up, you will be our transforming target." Oni's head dropped, Haru had the habit of wearing the most elaborate clothing and the latest hairstyles he could hoping to be popular but wasn't. Oni took a breath and put her hands into poisition to transform when the door to the room opened with a loud creak.
Oni covered her ears and looked to see who was there, She looked up to see a certain redhead. "Hi Gaara, a little late aren't you?" Oni called to him, He gave her a puzzled look and walked over to the line. The teacher just looked at him with a white face, even he wouldn't dare yell at Gaara for being late. "Well, Oni? Continue."
Oni sighed and put her hands onto poisitionand looked at Haru sympathetically, "I'm sorry.." She went into a small burst of smoke and when she emerged, she did looked similar to him, but not fully like him, his hair was lighter in color, she was missing shoes and her eyes were two differant colors.
"Oni, if a person were to fall for that they would have to be blind." The teacher stated cruley. Oni dropped her head and transformed back to herself again, "Did I fail yet?" She asked lifting her head back up to look at her teacher, The chuunin looked at her and laughed "Not yet, you're only down twenty seven out of one hundred points, you still have one chance to fail."
Another chuunin took out targets and put them on the other side of the room, behind desks, on the celing and so on so fourth. "Okay Miss Oni, What you have to do is, hit all the targets-" everyone in the class let out a sigh, this would be easy .
"- at once." Everyone snikered as Oni took out her kunai. Oni looked over at the other end of the room and flicked her wrist, letting the daggers to leap from her hand accross the room.
