Verloren
School again ...
"Xena, Xena, wake up ..." whispered Aika, who had crouched down next to the bed.
Xena purred and grumbled shortly afterwards.
° she purrs? Really strange people all here ... ° she thought and shook Xena's shoulder lightly. She didn't respond.
° Maybe it's ticklish ... ° But it wasn't. "Xena! Xena, damn it, WAKE UP!"
Xena started up in her bed, half panicked. "Wh ... what's wrong?" she asked startled and saw Aika kneeling next to her.
"What's up?" Xena asked kindly, but visibly tired.
"Do you know that you purr in your sleep ... But it doesn't matter ..."
"Yeah, I knew that, and so did you ..." Xena smiled tiredly. Aika nodded quickly.
"I know ..." she said, sounding scared and proud at the same time.
"What do you know?" Xena asked and let herself slide back into bed.
"I know what her name is." said Aika and took Xena's hand so that she wouldn't go back to sleep.
"Who?"
"Hinata." Aika said and Xena suddenly sat up again in bed."What do you still remember?" she asked suddenly wide awake.
"A very blurry picture, that of a boy, nothing else."
said Aika and sat on the edge of the bed.
She liked Xena, she was always cheerful and open-minded. Your exact opposite.
"Just Hinata and the blurry picture, nothing else?" Aika shook her head.
Xena dropped into bed.
"Pity."
Aika looked closely at Xena.
"When does your mission start tomorrow?" she then asked. Xena closed her eyes and looked peaceful. "At seven." she said, sounding no longer peaceful, just tired.
"I'll accompany you there. I won't meet Iruka until ten." Xena didn't answer, but began to purr.
"Sleep well." said Aika and covered her.
She went back to her bed, but could only think of this one blurry picture.
A young. Not particularly big ... She couldn't see any more.
The sun was rising slowly and Aika walked over to Xena and laboriously woke her up."You know I like you." Sate Aika to her at breakfast.
"Thanks, I know that. I know you too." said Xena and bit into some bread.
Aika ate almost nothing.
"What's wrong with you? You usually eat so much ..." Aika shrugged her shoulders.
"I can't remember when I should have eaten much ..."
Aika accompanied Xena to her team. "Hello!" Xena called to Neji and Hinata, who were already waiting there.
"Hello, Neji. Hello Hinata." greeted Aika and smiled.
Neji glowered at Xena. "What is?" Xena asked a little offended. "You told her ..."
Xena protested. "I didn't, she came in the middle of the night and told me she was getting refreshed ..." Xena said with a quick temper. And Neji looked piercingly at Aika.
"You know, it's really uncomfortable to be stared at with those white eyes." said Aika and smiled.
Shortly afterwards she confirmed Xena's story.
Then Sasuke arrived, followed by Naruto. "Aika, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked kindly.Aika ignored him and only answered when sasuke asked her the same question.
"I'm going with Xena, I'm not coming with you, don't worry ..." Sasuke snorted.
"I am not. I am not afraid of anything."
he said and Xena snorted.
"Don't you fill your mouth too full! Scared rabbit!"
"Shut up the cat's mouth!"
"Dull cheek!"
"Cow!"
"Dumbass!"
"STOP!!!" that was Aika.
"Tell me who is older, you or me?" she asked angrily, turning to Xena.
"Well me, why? But only for a year." Xena said now in a low voice.
"You don't notice that. You act like toddlers!" she scolded.
"I've heard that from you before ..." Neji smiled.
Aika smiled back, which stabbed Naruto in the heart.
"Aika, be considerate of Naruto." Xena whispered very softly in Aika's ear.
"Why?" whisper this back.
Xena laughed bitterly. "Because he loves you, that's why." she moved away from Aika's ear and looked at her intently.
Kakashi appeared.
"You're two hours late ..." scolded sasuke."I know, I know..."
"Two hours already, that means ... I have to go." Aika hurriedly said goodbye and walked in the direction that Kakashi had described to her on the gate.
She passed a couple of buildings.
Then she saw a brown-haired man standing in front of a particularly large house.
"Hello!" Aika called and waved. The man waved her over. "Do we know each other?" Aika asked as she got closer. "No, we don't know each other, at least I don't know you." he smiled.
"I'm Iruka. And you have to be Aika ... come with me." She followed him into the school building.
"So this is where you will teach ... Here." he handed her a piece of paper that turned out to be the curriculum. "What is on it, you practice with the children one after the other, ok?" she nodded.
"The whirlwinds will be there in half an hour."
He said and unlocked the door to let Aika in. She sat down in the chair at the teacher's desk and put her legs up.
She looked at the note."Transformations, doppelgangers, ~ PAUSE ~ theory, learning rules by heart, homework, have fun." read them out loud. She smiled, that was boring as hell.
She thought of how you could spice it up. But she didn't want to think of anything.
The first student arrived and wasn't surprised to see iruka in Aika's place.
Shortly afterwards the girl disappeared to the toilet and Aika was alone again.
Without further ado, she decided to do something if the situation got out of hand.
She stood up and made quick finger signals.
The girl came back, and shortly afterwards the class was assembled.
"Hello." said Aika. And the children fell silent.
"I'm Aika and I'll be teaching here with you for a while ..."
A boy answered. "Yes?"
"How old are you actually, you are not even a head taller than me ..." Aika wondered about such a question, but that was actually clear.
"Maybe you're right .... I'm 16. Maybe I'm not very tall, but even if Iruka is much taller than me, I am stronger."She smiled.
"Prove it." demanded a choir of young voices. Aika grinned.
"After the break ..." was all she said.
"So what? Wouldn't you rather show me how sarcastic you are?" Aika asked cheerfully.
"Transformation is an important part of strength. A little girl, wildly waving her arm in the air." Yes? "The little one cleared her throat." If I turned into a cat, can I talk to cats? "Aika smiled.
"Get me a cat and we'll try ..." Aika said provokingly.
"Ok, whoever finds a cat first and brings it here ..." said Aika and the students stormed out of the class.
Half an hour later the children came back. Some were totally scratched. A boy held a red tabby cat far away from him into the room.
"Very good, what's your name?"
"Heramaru." replied the boy, still holding the cat.
"Do you want to become a cat?" Aika then asked. He nodded overzealously.
"Good. Then give the cat to someone else ..." The cat moaned excitedly.And Aika put a hand on Heramaru's forehead.
"Transformation." Aika muttered and a small brown cat sat in front of her.
"Wow cool!" one heard some voices from the crowd of children say.
The red cat moaned excitedly and heramaru answered hesitantly. A long "Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaooooooooo." came out of his throat.
The children laughed.
Aika picked up Heramru. She put it on the table.
"Dissolve." she murmured while making a finger sign and shortly afterwards lifted the boy Heramaru off the table.
"And what did you understand?"
asked a girl curiously.
Heramarus' eyes lit up. "The cat told me that it has to go around now, otherwise the dog will wake up before it comes home ..." Aika smiled.
"well then. let them go." said Aika and the cat landed on all fours on the floor and whizzed away. Aika wondered if Xena might not have been a cat once?
"Ok, sit down again." said Aika and the children sat down on their seats."Now I want each of you to try to create a dumpster ..."
The students grumbled and one after the other stepped forward, only with two girls and one boy, the result was reasonably acceptable.
"Ok, it's break, get away." said Aika and the children immediately disappeared into the courtyard.
Before Aika slowly followed them, she released her water control-justu, glad that the class was so good.
The children raved and played until the break was over. "Now should actually be theory ..." General groans went through the class. "But I promised to prove something, right?"
"What should I do? Should I catch one of you floating?" she asked.
A unanimous yes.
"Whom?"
"Yoko!" called a voice.
"Well who is Yoko?" a shy girl stepped forward. "Don't worry, Yoko, it's not bad." Aika reassured her.
When the girl stood in front of her, she made finger signs again.
Shortly afterwards, Aika stretched out her arm to Yoko, while Yoko slowly moved upwards, Yoko rose from the floor.Ohhs, and Ahhhs could be heard, Aika liked to hear that.
A little later Yoko was again wobbly on his feet. "Super!" voices screamed.
"Thank you ... That's it for today. As homework, please do the doppelganger diligently - jutsu ok?" the students disappeared with cheerful voices.
"How was it?" Iruka asked afterwards.
"Nice class." said Aika and said goodbye. She went home exhausted.
She did not find Xena there. Thank God she had got a key from her this morning. Hours later, Xena arrived completely exhausted.
