Chapter 5: Parent-Teacher Conferences

A couple of more weeks passed for everybody at school, before the dreaded news was announced: parent-teacher conferences. Misaki was eating her lunch with Chihiro and some other girls on a blustery afternoon, when Haku ran over, holding a flyer! "Whats up," Misaki asked. Haku groaned, "Parent-teacher conferences are this week. Just what we need, our folks need to talk to our teachers about how we're doing. I think they should mind their own business." Chihiro rolled her eyes, "Sheesh, what's your problem? It's just so that they can explain our report cards." Haku rolled his eyes, "This is a dueling academy! Do you think our parents want to hear about that all evening?" Chihiro shouted, "Shut up!" Then, the two siblings got into a shouting match, which quickly ended when a teacher scolded Haku for debasing the school's reputation, so she challenged to a duel during his next class. The others went to class, while Misaki tried to spy on Haku, but Chihiro found out, and promptly dragged her to class.
At 2:50, Ms. Haruna announced, "Since after school is my time to meet with your parents to talk about your progress so far, I am handing you your report cards, which should be opened with your parents. The time I am meeting with your parents is on the envelope." After passing out the report cards, the last bell rang, and the kids flushed out the door, eager to get home.
As soon as Misaki got in the door, she called, "Mommy, Daddy? I'm home! I got my report card, too." She sat down at the kitchen table, and began to eat an apple. Yugi and Anzu walked in a minute later, when Misaki embraced them. Yugi scooped her up, and they sat in the den, looking at Misaki's report card. Report cards were issued every 6 weeks, and this term, Misaki had done very well. All A's, as well as good marks in attendance and citizenship. Anzu cuddled Misaki, while Yugi signed the report card. Soon after, all three headed for the school.
As soon as they arrived, Misaki ran off to play with the other kids, while Yugi and Anzu headed for Misaki's classroom. Meanwhile, Misaki ran into Haku and Chihiro. Chihiro had done well on her report card, but Haku was not doing well in science. "It wasn't my fault I flunked the last 3 exams in science," he complained as he stared out into the golden afternoon sunlight. Chihiro nudged Misaki, "His exams were on dinosaur cards, and he missed all the question, 'cause he didn't study." Misaki sweatdropped, "Why didn't he?" She rolled her eyes, "Who knows? All that matters is that Haku is getting tutored after school by Mr. Kaiba, and everybody says that he's really strict and mean!" Misaki gulped, she hoped she wouldn't have to go through that. She then told Chihiro, "Let's play on the swings." The other girl agreed, and off they went!
Meanwhile, Yugi and Anzu had just entered Misaki's classroom, when Ms. Haruna spotted them. "Hello there. You must be Misaki's parents. I heard about Shoko, and I'm glad she was adopted so quickly." Yugi smiled, "I'm just glad Misaki wasn't injured." Anzu nodded in agreement. "How is Misaki doing in class?" Ms. Haruna smiled, "She's been doing very well in class. She is well-behaved, and she does well on her schoolwork. Her dueling skills are top notch, and she seems to be fairly competitive with her classmates. I really have nothing else to say." With that said, Yugi and Anzu thanked her, and left.
As soon as they got home, Misaki worked on her homework, before Yugi and Anzu took her out to dinner.
