Annime: Hello!
Chiro: Go study!
Annime: (pout)
Otto: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else.
Age 10 to 11
Chiro was in his room studying the science work Gibson had given him.
He had dropped out of school to train and work with the monkey team. He still went to visit his friends on his days off.
He had met a great girl just two days ago. Her name was Jin-May.
He decided not to tell the monkey team about his past yet, but how could he honestly keep this stuff a secret for long? Like Antauri had said: "Teammates don't keep secrets from each other."
Chiro tried to push the thought away as he sat on his bed rereading his work. He quickly fixed his mistake and moved on to the next problem.
A knock at his door caught his attention.
"Come in."
A black simian walked into the room and gave the boy a stern look.
"Chiro," Antauri spoke, "it is important to keep up with your studies, but it is also important to make it to your classes on time."
Chiro's head spun to his clock. He was 15 minutes late for meditation training…and he hadn't even left his room yet.
"I'm sorry, Antauri," Chiro said nervously. "I must have lost tract of time."
Antauri shook his head. "Chiro, you have been here for a year and two weeks. You are ten years old. We have trained you since you were 9. You're smart enough to know to look at the clock and make sure you're on time." Antauri paused for a moment before continuing. "Chiro, I know something is bothering you. Would you like to tell me; because that would have to be the only way you are this late to train with me."
Chiro looked at Antauri and blinked. "I'm fine, Antauri. I'll be more careful of looking at the clock."
Antauri eyed Chiro up and down before nodding. "Yes, well, let's go and do some meditation training."
Chiro smiled and followed Antauri out of his room.
Chiro's smile left for a moment when he remembered Antauri telling him that teammates don't keep secrets.
'I'll tell them someday, when I'm ready. Hopefully they'll understand that…'
Annime: LOL hi everyone!
Chiro: She started this chapter yesterday, so the test was today.
Annime: I totally aced it!
Chiro: Are you sure?
Annime: Yep, but I'll be disappointed if I don't get a 100%!
Chiro: (sweat drop)
Otto: Please review!
