Chapter 2: This cannot be happening!!!
"Yes, Iruka sensei?" Chiqua asked as she began to get huge eyes, hoping for something superior or exciting to happen.
"Well, I was talking with Lord Sarutobi and he wanted to promote you two."
"Promote us?" The two said in unison.
"Yes. He saw the grades you two were making compared to everyone else's, and your guys have such high standards and your grades were so sufficient! I do not have a clue how you kids do this, but wow. You two will be moved up to the graduating class, and possibly graduate at the age of ten. One thing though; you two will have to learn a lot of jutsus in that class! So, meet me after class and I will start to go over them with you two and teach you kids the basics, alright?" Iruka lectured.
"Whoa! Yes, sir! Most definitely!" Azara said with glee.
"That is definitely… THE BEST NOT WORST THING I HAVE HEARD ALL DAY!" Chiqua screeched with glee. Iruka smiled, and escorted the kids back to class.
Naruto raised his hand, and Iruka called on him. "May I see what my sister was yelling in the halls about, please, Iruka sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Fine. This is the last acceptation I make to you this week! Already you have had to go to the bathroom five times within the two hours, Naruto." Iruka told him.
Naruto walked over to his sister who was glaring at him. "So, why did you scream in the halls, Chiqua? You cannot say you did not because if you did not, we would not have heard it, believe it!" Naruto told his sister.
"Wow, that is not a shock. Azara and I are promoting to the graduating class, so, in your face!" Chiqua said with a bossy tone of voice.
"What? Hey! Iruka-sensei! Why does she get to promote and I don't? That is seriously no fair, sensei!" Naruto whined.
"Well, Naruto, maybe if you actually took your studies seriously, you would be promoting too." Iruka said with a sigh.
"Whatever, sensei!" Naruto said with no interest in his tone, and then sat back down.
"Already? Good job, Chiqua and Azara! I always knew you two would make it!" Sakura told the two with a thumbs up.
"Thanks." Azara blushed, and then slumped into her seat, afraid that Shikamaru will think her up to be a freak for endless time.
Chiqua nudged Azara, and then made her stare up at a figure that was staring down on her. She could not really tell who it was, so she squinted and blushed to see Shika.
"Azara, I hate to be a drag, but what was it that you were going to tell me?" Shikamaru asked, scratching the back of his head.
"N-nothing. I swear, it was nothing, if it was something then I would have told you it was something, but for now it is nothing and for the moment and until the end of time it will remain the same to be nothing for something!" Azara told him.
Everyone stared at Azara with a raised eyebrow, for they were all so clueless.
"Well, at least now I know it was something. Fine, if you do not want to tell me, it is your choice. We have only known each other for two years anyways, so why not just go and talk to your 'Neji' you have known since childhood?" Shikamaru said.
Azara frowned, and then stared at her papers. Iruka cued Azara and Chiqua towards him, and took them out into the hall after they had gathered their stuff.
"You two come back here in about an hour or so and you can finally be in the higher up class. Hopefully you guys know someone there that can help you two catch up." Iruka smiled.
"Oh yeah… no. Azara knows Neji Hyuuga, but she has not seen him for about six or so years!" Chiqua told Iruka, who sighed. "That Hyuuga kid, he is one tough kid and sometimes even trouble." Iruka told them.
"Yeah, yeah… dream on, Iruka Sensei! I know him better than anyone!" Azara said all bubbly.
"Azara, I am warning you! That is when you were two or four, this is now, and he has changed more than you think." Iruka said with a stressed look upon his face.
"Heh. Yeah, yeah. Whatever! You are just jealous because… because… because I said so." Azara smiled, and then stuck her tongue out at her sensei.
Iruka shook his head, and then shuffled down the dark halls, watching his two best students laughing and walking out the door.
What have I done, Sarutobi sensei? Iruka thought.
