Child of the Moon

Pre-Exam Discussions

After Aiyanna had wandered off, Aki and Nanami waited for her a little ways from where Katsu and his squad had charged past. Kurai had laughed at them, before letting them into the room, laughing still as he left.

"That guy is not right," Aki commented to Nanami.

"He does sound a bit odd," Nanami agreed.

"Anyway, Aiyanna better hurry up, or we're gonna miss out on the exam," Aki said, peering around the corner, freezing when she saw Tsukiko around the corner... with Kakashi sensei. There was a huge grin on her face, and from where she was...

"Dude, is Kakashi-sensei hitting on Tsukiko-sensei?"

"What?" Nanami questioned, leaning on Aki. "Describe it to me!"

"Uh... she's kinda laughing about something, and her cheeks are a little flushed... I can't see what Kakashi-sensei is doing because his back is to me..."

"His heart rate is certainly elevated," Nanami said. "What is he doing?"

"Um...he's messing with his mask?" Aki whispered.

"What's his stance like?" Nanami whispered back.

"What do you mean?"

"What are you two doing?"

"Ack! Aiyanna, when did you get back!?" Aki demanded.

"Just now," Nanami said. "And to answer your question, we're trying to ascertain whether or not Kakashi-sensei is hitting on Tsukiko-sensei."

"Oh," Aiyanna said, peering around the corner. "You realise we don't have time for this, yeah?"

"OH SHOOT THE EXAM!" Aki screamed, charging around the corner.

Tsukiko and Kakashi turned to face them with minimal surprise, and Tsukiko waved them through the door with a laugh.

Inside the room, was scores of other genin, from numerous villages by the looks of them. Not long after, the guy in spandex arrived with his team. The guy with the majestic hair then took notice of their team and looked somewhere between really angry, and kind of sad.

"What are you doing here?" he snapped at Nanami, who actually flinched.

"Yo, the dude with the fabulous hair," Aki snapped. "Ain't no body talk to my girl Nanami like that!"

"Aki," Nanami said softly.

"Hell nah," Aki said, as Aiyanna tried to hold her friend back. "Nanami has every right to be here, who the hell do you think you are, jerkwad!?"

"Aki, he's my twin brother," Nanami said softly.

There was a pause before Aki snapped.

"THE HELL DUDE!? HOW CAN YOU TALK TO YOUR SISTER LIKE THAT?" she yelled, drawing the attention of the other genin.

"Aki, calm down, now!" Aiyanna snapped, causing the red-head girl to freeze. "I don't like it much either, but you can't keep charging in without thinking. The guy is from the team Tsukiko-sensei mentioned. The one with the Taijutsu expert on par with Nanami."

"Say what?" Aki frowned at them. "Which one? Jerkwad, Boss Eyebrows, or the cute Bunhead?"

The two girls sighed. "You need to learn to filter what comes out your mouth, Aki," Aiyanna sighed.

"You're only fooling yourself, thinking you could accomplish anything with your disability," 'Jerkwad' continued. "You should drop out now before you embarrass yourself."
