A/N: ok, I took longer to reply this time around and I did get a review, two actually! Thanks, it helps. Constructive criticism is what makes this stories world spin.

Lady Phantasmagoric: Will do, thanks for that little piece of info. I know, longer chapters, I'm attempting it but, it's my first one so... plus, I'm more so doing this to soothe by boredom than train to become a famous writer.

Hannahhbabby: yeah, I know. I'll work on it. Thanks.

I groaned as I rolled to my side, looking at the clock. Standing up I threw on a dark blue shirt with red, yellow, and black accents throughout it. Then, pulled a black hoodie with little red x and purple o signs and a few pink hearts scattered here and there.

Finally, pulling on a skirt that reached an inch above my knees and some red leggings. I wrapped my headband around my leg. Looking in the mirror I decided to do my hair up in pigtails.

Skipping downstairs I found Daichi already there with some eggs and cereal. Helping myself to the last of the eggs and popping some toast in the toaster, I went and sat on the table next to Daichi's plate poking his forehead he glanced up at mer.

"You know, we start a new chapter of our lives today, how does it make you feel?" I stated, smiled widely, tilting my head in a manner that said I was waiting for a reply.

"I guess I feel... normal? Doesn't make me feel different, unless you include relieved to be done with the academy as one." Daichi rarely spoke and only on occasion spoke that much. This fact pleased me, nodding I grabbed a plate and the toast that had popped up moments before.

Buttering the bread I stuck the eggs on it and made it into a little sandwich. Leaning dully against the counter she bit into it. As I ate I thought about the current events. I'm now out of the academy and going to be placed in a team, thinking of this I remembered the tip Sasuke had relayed to me the previous night, 'teamwork is key.'

Trying to figure out what he meant, I shrugged. Maybe it meant exactly that, you didn't always have to read too far into things.

Finishing the sandwich I threw away my plate, momentarily staring into space I shook my head and walked out the door. Walking contentedly towards the academy I cleared my mind of everything.

As I sat in the front row blankly staring at the wooden desk I was knocked out of my stupor as Aya stormed in. Though she had a fiesty attitude, Aya was usually a kind girl. She also had some skills. I wasn't sure what her problem was today. She lived with her dad, her mother had died at least five years ago.

Other kids were making thier way into the room. As the room began to feel I sensed a presence move in beside me. Turning, I smiled at Daichi who cracked a small smile too. Turning back around to the front of the room I stared up at the sensei who had just walked in. He had a slip of paper in his hand. He coughed into his hand and all the talking kids quieted down.

"Now, I'll name the teams and the kids that are going to be in them." I momentarily blanked, thinking of random things. Shaking my head I heard him calling out Aya Reed, then my brother and finally, myself. I looked at him happily then up to the unemotional face of Aya. She felt my gaze and turned her eyes in my direction. I blinked and turned away. I let him call out the rest of the names, not much paying attention.

"Ok, well, now we have settled that, you may all go have lunch and when you get back you'll meet your new Sensei's." People piled out of the room but I just stretched out on the seat. Looking towards Daichi who was eating an orange thoughtfully, I smirked.

"I wonder what we're gonna have to do" He turned towards me and shrugged. I sat thinking and eating my sandwich slowly. Looking for the trash can I shot my bag along with Daichi's orange peel. Pumping my hand in the air I smiled.

"Yesh!" Daichi smiled while rolling his eyes. I stuck my tongue out then, yawning, I sat up. A few kids had come back in and more were entering. After about seven minutes everyone was back. The sensei who had reentered a mere four minutes ago stood after he had taken account of everyone.

"Now, you will all meet your new senseis, if they don't come right away then you just need to wait." He bowed and walked out of the room, some guy walked in and called for one of the teams. The students decreased till only a few were left.

"Team five?" I saw a lady up at the front of the room, smiling brightly. Grabbing Daichi I dragged him off the seat and we walked down to her. Bowing, we looked up at her and turned as Aya stood there inspecting the lady.

"Who're you?" She asks this in a questioning tone. "Why can't we have a male?" The lady smiled softly.

"Actually, you will have a male sensei. My husband got called into a very important mission and won't be back for a week or so. My names Mana Chutei." She began walking and beconed with her hand for us to follow. The three of us did so. We went outside and sat on the steps of the school.

"So, I would like for you to introduce yourselves then state some other things about yourself." Looking at us she pointed to Daichi. "You may begin." He nodded.

"I'm Daichi Utonada. I like laying in my bed thinking things over and I'm not a big talker."

Blinking she shrugged. "I guess that was enough." Facing Aya she nodded towards her, giving a big huff, Aya talked.

"I'm Aya Reed, my bad side is bad, you don't wanna be there. I hate onions, pink is a stupid color and I'm not into thinking, I just sorta act on impulse." She made her lips into a slightly pouty look and pointed at me. "Go."

"Um, ok.... Hi, my names Daikibo, he's my annoyingly smart twin." Sticking my thumb towards Daichi, who sat there unfazed. "My favorite color is green, I'm really talkative, I think something through some are impulsive, I aim to get smart then Shikamaru... which is unlikely but, I've always been told aim high. My mother has taught me some of the most basic medical jutsus in her very limited spare time. I like chocolate and... I need to shut-up." Closing my mouth I looked at Mana embarassedly. She laughed lightly and let out a deep breath.

"Now we know each other better I'll explain the deal to you. As I already said, I'm just filling in for my husband. He may not even meet you, depending on the situation. Put simply, you aren't yet Genin. You must pass one final test. So, tomorrow we'll meet at nine, at the park, got it?" Our trio nodded and she made a motion with her hand for us to go.

Standing, we walked away. Once we were off the academy grounds, Aya turned to me.

"So, who's that Shikamaru guy you were talking about?" I smiled.

"He's a year older then me but, he's nice. We've been friends a long time, but Sasuke's the only reason we're friends. He went all depressed and stuff which, is understandable because well, he's almost the only Uchiha left." She was trying to repress the memories of Itachi, why? Why had he done that? She shook her head. Aya was processing the info.

"Oh, well, why don't you think you can't get smarter then him? He's just some guy." I smiled and looked at Daichi.

"Seems all the guys in my life are smarter then me. Plus, Shika's very smart... he's just too lazy to show it." Aya nodded and turned, waving her hand.

"This is my turn. See ya tomorrow." As she walked away I turned to Daichi who had a disapproving look on his face. I sent a questioning one in return.

"You're smart and you know it, you just don't wanna show it." I shrugged, maybe I was smart but, still not anywhere close to Shika.

Walking into the house we looked at each other. Something popped into my head and right out of my mouth.

"We need to practice." He took a second to understand me and then just nodded. Waving it off, meaning later, he walked away towards his room.

A/N:Ermmmm, long enough?? I hope so

.... Probly not, oh well, sorry. Then again I'm not aiming for anything stellar, this is a story created from boredom. I got two reviews, one more then my wanted one, ummmm, so, this chapter I'm going three, yeah, I know this is suspenseful, three whole reviews... Yeah that's a lot to ask..

Ok, enough with the sarcasm, byeee!

So, I have a question, I was debating on writing another story, maybe AU, maybe not, idk, and I was going to make it with no madeups, just canons. Problem is... I'm not sure about about the pairing... So ideas ideas ideas! Please, umm I'll do yaoi but, not yuri. I would rather do straight stuff though.... I'm too lazy to put a poll so, answer in reviews, PMs, or... not at all.
