Hallo once more, beautiful people! Thank you for all the follows and favorites! Made my day to see so many people liked my story!

And special thanks to ArturoLJ50 and FallenAether for helping me figure out the whole team situation!

I was forced into a classroom by the boy that had yet to tell me his name. There I was forced to face quite a few incredibly familiar faces that weren't supposed to be real.

"Aoi. Hiro. You're late."

The man that said this... He was... He couldn't be real.

Yet there he stood, displeased scowl on his scarred face as he glared down at me and the boy that had dragged me along.

Iruka Umino. The chunin that had essentially taken Naruto under his wing with a steady and unrepentant hand.

And as if seeing him wasn't enough, when I looked at the seats I was supposed to move to, there were quite a few recognizable characters. The first that caught my eye was the feral looking boy with red tattoos on his face, who smirked over in my direction.

"Late as always, Akagawa."

"No one asked for your opinion, Inuzuka!" The boy that had dragged me here, apparently called Hiro, growled back at him. Then he tugged on my hand once more, forcing me to follow him up to the long desks where the other kids sat obediently.

There were two seats left at the very back, between a red haired girl and a black haired boy. Hiro dragged me all the way over there and forced me to sit down, then huffed as he took his own seat.

Iruka glared at us both as one final show of his disapproval in us arriving so late, then began to speak.

"Today is the day you begin your careers as genin. Congratulations, for you have entered one of the most interesting and difficult stages of your life." The man allowed a small smile to come over his face, then picked up a clipboard from his desk and began to call out names and Team assignments.

This... This couldn't be real. I must be dreaming. Or in a coma. Or maybe my friends are all pulling an extremely elaborate prank that must have taken months of planning and have been tediously executed.

But... Everyone seemed so natural. As if there was nothing wrong in the world.

Which, seeing how these guys believe they're actually real, would only make sense.

Huh... I'm pretty surprised that I have yet to freak out over what is going on. I had never been pretty good at keeping a lid on my emotions. But, for some reason, I was able to keep a straight face as Iruka called out the new teams, Hiro whooping when he noticed that his teammates weren't the worst around.

"Team Seven, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, and Hinata Hyuga. You'll be lead by Kakashi Hatake."

"What?! No! I wanted to be with Sasuke!" Two twin shouts pierced my ears, making me wince in pain.

Huh... Wait a minute... That didn't sound right.

"Team Eight, Shino Aburame, Ino Yamanaka, and Shikamaru Nara. Kurenai Yūhi will be teaching you."

That... Didn't sound right either. But I wasn't able to really put my finger as to why.

Wasn't this how the teams were supposed to go?

"Team Nine, Aoi Akagawa, Haku Yakushi, and Sai Nakamura. You are to be students to Genma Shiranui."

Those names... I didn't recognize at all. Why was that?

The black haired boy beside me smiled softly over at me, and I guessed that meant that he must have been either of my teammates. But, it was odd. His smile seemed earnest... But there was something odd in his eyes. A kind of dullness to them.

Did that make any sense?

"And Team Ten, Chōji Akimichi, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki. Asuma Sarutobi will be your sensei."

Quite frankly, something was off about the team assignments. But I just couldn't put my finger on it. And just why did I respond so easily to the name Aoi? That hadn't been my real name. I know it wasn't. I was American. Not Japanese. I had never even been so close to this much Eastern culture in my life.

"Your senseis are waiting for you outside the door. Team Seven, you are to stay here until Kakashi arrives. Have I been understood?"

All of the kids in the room nodded, then in entered some pretty interesting looking adults. One of them I immediately recognized as Kurenai because... Well... It would be pretty stupid to not recognize the only female teacher of the Rookie Nine. And Asuma stood beside her with an unlit match rested in the corner of his mouth. But... The man beside him... I had seen him before... Although I wasn't sure if he had been all that important in Naruto's story line.

One by one the men and women stepped forward, called on their teams, and took them away. A dark haired woman with a stern face called on Team Five, which had Hiro standing up abruptly, sending a wink my way, then jumping out to meet with his team.

It was odd to not have him around... I felt almost... Alone.

Which made no sense, because... Well... I didn't know the guy. Why would I feel so bad now that he'd left me?

Could that mean anything important?

"Team Eight." The woman stepped forward with a small smile, motioning for them to stand up. "Let's get going. I am eager to begin teaching you."

Shino stood up silently and began to walk towards her, prompting the woman to begin to walk out of the room. The blonde spitfire that was his teammate stomped her way out of the room, all the while the dark haired Nara took his sweet time to leave.

Then the man beside Asuma, the one I couldn't really identify, stepped forward, smirk clear on his lips as he played with the senbon in his mouth.

"Yo, Team Nine. Time to get moving." He called, the calm type of mirth clear in his eyes.

He looked... Extremely relaxed.

The black haired boy beside me stood up and began to walk off, which meant that I was to move as well. So I walked after him, unsurity biting at my heart. But as I passed the front row of desks, I felt something bite onto my pant leg, which stopped me. And when I looked down, I found a small white and brown pup looking up at me.

"Yo, Akagawa, you haven't forgotten your promise, have you?"

Looking up, I found that Kiba was looking at me with an almost disinterested gaze.

"Uh..."

I was extremely eloquent this day, wasn't I?

"Of course you have..." He sighed, then shook his head, sending me a smirk. "You and Hiro lost the bet to Akamaru and I, again. So you owe us some peanut butter cookies."

"Cookies?" I repeated dumbly, blinking at him.

With a nod, the boy picked Akamaru up from the floor and placed him inside his jacket. "Yup. You have until the end of this week. If not, Akamaru will get cranky."

As if to make his point clear, the dog growled softly at me.

Could this get any weirder?

It seemed as if Kiba knew me... And had some trust in me to be asking for food.

... Did this mean that I was known for making sweets here?

"Huh. It seems one of my minions has fallen behind. Yo, blue girl, get moving."

I craned my neck to look behind him to find that the brown haired man was looking at me, two black haired boys standing with me. "Yeah. Sorry." I called, then turned back to Kiba with a nod. "Sure. I'll bring you some cookies."

With this I ran off to catch up to my teammates and teacher, although I was more than just a bit confused.

Who was I supposed to be and what in the world was I doing in this place?

And that was the second chapter! Hope you all enjoyed it!
