CHAPTER TWO:
"Yeah, I know, I couldn't believe it either, she had me right by the throat and was trying to kill me, I swear she was! She was like, referring to herself in the third-person too. I knew she was weird but, that's just overly done man."
"What's this Amiu?" Shikamaru asked walking into the room.
"It's Meii, she's a freaking weirdo!" Amiu shouted proclaiming to the whole academy.
"Ugh, troublesome." Shikamaru muttered walking over to his seat.
"Konnichiwa minasan!" Iruka shouted jumping into the room.
"What's with you today Iruka-sensei, you seem hyper, even though your daughter's gone spastic. Have you too? Cool!" Naruto asked Iruka in a loud way.
"What are you talking about, Meii's mental health is perfectly stable!" Iruka said sitting down at the desk and beginning to swing on his chair.
"So, if Meii's fine, where is she?" Sasuke said looking up from his folded arms in intrigue.
"Meii's right here Sasuke or, did you not notice me, right, in front of you?" Meii said teasing Sasuke.
"Ah, Hi Meii, no, I uh, didn't notice you. Strange…" Sasuke said looking shocked and shifting his eyes back and forth.
"Poor Sasuke-kun, losing his eye sight already. We'll be fine though, our eyes are superb!" Meii said grinning widely walking to her seat.
"Aren't you the least bit worried about her?" Shikamaru asked, "She's acting a bit,"
"DON'T SAY IT!" Naruto and Amiu shouted in unison.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru said, a wide smirk appearing on his face.
"Where's Kiba?" Iruka asked, "He's not here yet, that's strange."
"Sorry I'm late sensei! I had the worst night of my life." Kiba said running into the classroom, jacket only half on.
"It's okay Kiba, uh, excuse me asking but, where's Akamaru?" Iruka asked.
"…Aka-…My god, I didn't…Argh!!" Kiba said falling on his knees almost crying.
"You, forgot Akamaru?" Iruka stopped swinging on the chair.
"I forgot him…my best friend…I'm sorry," Kiba muttered to himself while beginning to cry, "Sensei, sorry about this but, could I go get him?"
"Sure Kiba, whatever, take your time," Iruka said, "As for the rest of you, sit down, shut up and let me giggle at you."
"Is your dad feeling okay?" Amiu asked Meii looking quite perplexed. Meii just stares back with her huge blank eyes. "Okay, maybe not the person to ask," Amiu said to herself staring down at the desk.
"Meii thinks Iruka-sensei is fine. Why? We think he had a bit too much of something today or Kakashi-sensei has been making him read again. We're not too sure but, probably something like that." Meii said still staring at Amiu.
"Uh, okay, why didn't you run over to Kiba before and be all, "Oh Kiba I love you!!". I mean, you love him back right?" Amiu asked awaiting the answer she has been wanting since the other night.
"We don't recall what you mean. Kiba's never said anything about love to us." Meii said looking mystified.
"Oh, kay, so you've forgotten last night?" Amiu said hoping.
"Last night? We just went home. Nothing more happened. What's wrong with Amiu today, we're getting a bit worried." Meii said resting a hand on Amiu's back.
"Uh, Amiu's fine," looking away she then mutters to herself, "I'm not the one we should be worrying about."
"Okay Amiu. I'll stop then." Meii said retrieving her hand.
"Uh, thank you?" Amiu said, quickly moving over the other side of the column they were seated in.
"Sorry again sensei I whole-heartedly apologize for all this," Kiba said catching his breath.
"It's okay. So, now that I'm done giggling and Kiba's back, I can proceed telling you what we're gonna do for the next few weeks. You all know about the missions, the ranks, everything about that, right? Well you're all going to be doing some missions for the Hokage okay? Well, why am I asking, I mean you don't really have a choice in the matter do you? Nope! Okay, so let's assign these things. When I call your names out come down and get your information and go." Iruka began, "Naruto, Amiu, Sasuke, you guys have to get that darn cat again. Tachino, Ino, Chouji, your mission is to run some errands for an old man. Kiba, Hinata, Keiko, you guys have to move some rocks for an old lady. Sakura, Lee, TenTen, you guys have to go into the woods and collect various items. Shino, Ariisha, Nikkore, you guys have to help out at a shop that's been getting robbed recently. Last of all, Neji, Meii, and Shikamaru you guys have to tend to an old lady's garden, in fact, the same old lady as team 8. Get going!"
"Man, moving rocks for an old lady, how fun will this be?" Kiba muttered to Akamaru.
"Arf." Akamaru responded bluntly.
"Oh come on Kiba, it'll be fun!" Keiko shouted out, "Moving rocks is joyful!"
"Are you constantly on something?" Kiba asked Keiko stopping right in the middle of the street.
"Hi guys, we have to do stuff for the same old lady as you, I guess we're stuck together for the day." Shikamaru said sighing and looking up to the sky.
"Hey Meii! Oh my god how are you I haven't spoken to you in like ages!!" Keiko began.
"Meii's perplexed at Keiko's big change in personality and appearance. We want to know what's wrong." Meii said staring at Keiko blankly.
"It was a bet with Sasuke, uh-huh, uh-huh, and I'm wondering why you're referring to yourself in the third-person." Keiko asked the blank Meii.
"We're not. Why does everyone ask us that?" Meii said to herself.
"…Hi Meii," Kiba said blushing, "Do you remember last night?"
"What's this? We don't recall anything happening last night. Why does everyone keep asking us that? Ugh!" Meii said storming off in the direction of the old lady's house.
"Whoa, what's with her?" Kiba asked everyone.
"Dunno, but she's been like that all day. The whole, I'm so insane, I'm crazy, I refer to myself in the third-person, I'm so totally confused about most things, thing is getting too out of control." Neji said shaking his head.
"Meii! Wait up, come on dude." Keiko shouted forward hoping her friend would stop for her.
"We will wait, Keiko has not done us wrong for a long time. We shall wait," Meii spoke to herself as she suddenly stood still.
"Ha, thanks for waiting, what's wrong hun?" Keiko questioned Meii with this a lot of the time.
"Nothing is wrong with us." Meii asked still standing perfectly still.
"No, not all of you, just Meii, just the one I know and love." Keiko said trying to get through to the staring girl.
"I no longer exist, it is us now, there's no more I Kei, we must refer to all or none. It's simple yet nobody gets it. I thought you might, oh well." Meii said walking towards the house again.
"Lee!!!" TenTen shouted, "You're supposed to be picking flowers not staring at Sakura!!"
"Ugh, why can't I just die?" Sakura said as she shuddered overhearing her fellow female team mate.
"TenTen, please, I wasn't staring at her, I was merely protecting her and watching over the beautiful flower that is Haruno Sakura." Lee said coming out of the forest.
"Just pay attention to the flowers." TenTen said returning to her work.
"Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura shouted as she saw him responding to the cat call.
"Hi Sakura!!!" Naruto yelled out as loud as he could to the pink-haired girl in the distance.
"Sasuke," Lee said holding a fist up to the figure in the distance, "I swear one day I shall defeat you."
"Man, why doesn't Sasuke-kun like me, or even respond to my loving words?" Sakura said moving over to where TenTen was collecting the flowers and fungi.
"Oh, I don't know Sakura, maybe because he doesn't like you?" TenTen said still focusing on the work.
"…Thanks for the comforting words TenTen", Sakura said sarcastically as she walked toward the village.
"Wait up!" Lee called out to the now running Sakura.
"Hey, guys, did you notice we got the coolest mission?" Nikkore said to Shino and Ariisha.
"Yeah I did, how cool I mean, we get to fight off villains!" Ariisha replied with glee.
"No, no you don't, the robbery thing was just a prank to see if they'd actually help us! We've gotten this huge work load and we need you strong young people to help us move it along! You see we're a courier business which means you guys have to drop items off at various places, so get cracking, we already have three ninja anyway!" The shop clerk said handing them the schedule for the day.
"Ha, who are the other suckers?" Ariisha questioned the clerk.
"Us," Ino said, "Chouji, Tachino and me, there was no old man, just this guy, prankster. We're so pulling the plug on you."
"Ha, suck old man!" Nikkore said enraging the clerk.
"Just get to work and leave me alone!" The clerk responded.
"Grouch" Ariisha added before she ran out of the building.
"Well, I'm glad that's over!" Naruto shouted.
"Yeah, who isn't!?" Amiu shouted just as loud.
"Me? That old lady was nice!" Keiko answered the two loud buffoons.
"Meii's tired. We're going home." Meii said walking away from the group of kids.
"Meii, wait up, I want to talk to you." Kiba said running alongside his love.
"Yes, Kiba, we only have a few minutes, or could we walk and talk? Meii would like that." Meii said slightly blushing, "Wait, no we wouldn't, we don't want to talk, yes we do just, speak Kiba. Sorry, I'm messed up so much."
"No Meii, it's okay, I don't mind, it's just, you know you're speaking weirdly, right? Well, I'm concerned about your health, mentally." Kiba said
