Chapter 12

A/N {Sorry for the late chapter I made it longer as conpensation}

I felt my eyelids open, my head felt groggy and muddled, and my body felt tired as if I had run a marathon. That's a bad example since I have never run a marathon in my past life and not in this one.

Despite my condition, I looked around to see where exactly I was. After looking around for a little while I noticed this place has a striking resemblance to a school infirmary. Even If it has been six years since I have been in a school infirmary and I'm pretty sure I can recognize one.

'Wait instead of trying to figure out where I am, shouldn't I try to remember what happened before I fainted?' I attempted to remember what had happened to me and a flood of memories assaulted me. I remembered what had happened however instead of providing me momentary peace this only caused me to have a chaotic storm of thoughts.

'Well that's pretty annoying but what caused me to faint? Was I feeling so tired because I awakened my chakra? Why does this have to happen on the first day of the academy? I'm assuming that the warmth I felt was Iruka's chakra. Did anyone else in the class faint like me? How long was I out? Do I have a lot of chakra or a little? Did anything else change in my body? Can I feel chakra now?'

I tried to organize all of the chaotic thoughts in my mind and succeeded after a few minutes. Well, I'm assuming it's been a few minutes since there isn't a clock here. Suddenly I heard small but loud footsteps running towards me.

I panicked and tried to act as if I was still sleeping. I heard the door open and hit the wall with a loud slamming sound. I flinched and hoped nothing was broken yet at the same time I was petrified and felt an overwhelming fear.

'What if it's Iruka here to lecture or scold me? Could it be my mother? Oh lord no! Please don't let it be mother! I'll die if she finds out about this? But what if it's not her? Who could it be? Father? No, he's too kind and comedic for something like that. Sakura? Yeah, probably not her… either way I'm sure that I'm screwed!'

I thought as I laid perfectly still on the bed. While my mind was feeling a massive amount of fear and worry I secretly prepared myself for anything bad to happen then I heard the sound of… a child sniffing and crying? 'Eh? Could it be?'

I slowly opened my eyes to see my big sister Sakura looking at me with teary eyes with snot running down her nose. "Aika! T-They... wouldn't *sniffle* let me *breathes in heavily to breathe easier* see you until *sob* class was over" My elder sister said between her pitiful sobbing and sniffing.

"Well Sakura I'm fine now so you don't have to worry anymore," I said trying to pacify my still crying sister. She looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"R-Really you're okay now?" She asked hoping I would confirm my alright condition. I made a reassuring grin and pulled my right arm up and flexed it trying to show off my non-existent bicep.

"Fufu don't worry I'm absolutely fine! It will take more than just fainting to keep me down" I said in a confident tone. Sakura calmed down and wiped away her tears and disgusting snot on her sleeve and said with a stutter.

"I-Iruka-sensei said I need to inform him or another teacher if you awoke so I need to…" I nodded in understanding. Sakura beamed a happy smile at me and ran off to find Iruka or any other teacher in the academy.

After Sakura informed Iruka about my recovery and awakening he sent us home since the class was over. So Sakura and I held hands as we walked home. She was also gripping my hand with quite a bit of force so I guess Sakura is still worried about me?

Once we got home I remembered that I forgot to ask an important question to Iruka or any other teacher in the academy. 'I should have asked them about why I fainted…Oh well I can ask my parents and if they don't know then I can just ask Iruka tomorrow'

Sakura and I removed our dirty sandals and walked to the living room. Upon walking near the living room I saw Mother and Father sitting on their newly bought chairs with excited smiles on their faces. I'm going, to be honest, here the new chairs were unnecessary and a waste of money but Mother pestered father for them because "It will look much better" I will never understand women even if I have become one.

"Aika, Sakura, how was your first day at the academy?" I tried to make my best smile and said with an excited voice

"Our day was great! We got to choose our seats, make a few friends and we unlocked our chakra!"

"That's amazing! So did your teacher tell you how much chakra you have?" My father said with an expectant smile. I wasn't sure how to make an excuse of how I don't know right now and I don't plan on telling them that I fainted since I'm sure that I will get an earful for that… I racked my brain for at least a decent excuse however my plans were immediately ruined by my adorable emerald eye sister.

"Iruka-sensei said I have the average civilian amount of chakra and Aika… I forgot how much she has but she fainted after getting her chakra unlocked" It was at this moment I knew...I'm dead, aren't I?

I closed my eyes and prepared myself for a painful scolding from my mother. She opened her mouth and said with a casual tone.

"Oh, that's quite normal" 'Eh? I'm not going to be scolded? No yelling? No physical punishments? Nothing? Well, I'm not going to say any of that out loud since that would be pretty stupid because that would make me seem like I wanted to be scolded. Also, I'm not a masochist or a sadist. Anyways I'm still curious about how exactly fainting from this is normal?'

I looked at my mother with large adorable eyes. "Why did I faint after unlocking my chakra?"

"Well Aika you see, when you unlock your chakra your body needs to adapt to the new sudden energy coursing through your body. All humans feel tired from unlocking their chakra because their body needs the stamina to adapt to the new changes taking place in their body "

'Wait something is wrong here, don't all living beings in the Narutoverse have chakra right? So why would we need to unlock it? Also, where is all our chakra being kept if it's not coursing through our chakra points?'

"Why do we need to unlock our chakra? Where is it being kept if it's not well… going through our body?" I asked with confusion and curiosity invading my voice.

"Well Aika, all beings can unlock their chakra naturally. It's just that we found a way to speed up the process. Also, our chakra when locked is kept in our hearts"

"Huh? Really? How did we speed up unlocking our chakra?"

"Well, first I assume your teacher either touched your back or chest right?" Sakura and I nodded our heads. "After that, your teacher guides your locked chakra with his or her own chakra through your chakra pores and veins near your heart. Then your chakra will naturally flow throughout your body" My mother said with rare wisdom flowing in her voice.

"Did you know that Konohagakure provides free education and unlocks your chakra on the first day to see if you are capable of being a shinobi? Well in this case you two are going to be kunoichi! Isn't that nice?" My father said happily.

Sakura and I answered it with a loud "Yes!" that radiated happiness. We then ate our food and I read my pink diary to remember what was going to happen in Naruto. Yikes, it seems like the Uchiha Massacre is going to happen when Sasuke is seven so I have one year until he becomes the king of all emo's.

We didn't do much after that so the day passed by quickly. I woke up and smelled the fresh morning air. I rubbed my tired eyes and forced myself to get up. I removed the cute pink flower pajamas I was wearing and quickly put on my new clothing.

I looked at the mirror. 'Looks like I'm wearing blue panties today. Hmmm for today's shirt maybe I should wear this white one? Meh, who cares I'll just put on some random clothes' After putting on my clothes I woke up my still sleeping sister.

'Shouldn't the older sister wake up the younger one?' I thought uselessly as I forcefully woke up Sakura by violently shaking her awake. 'Yeah, Sakura is kind of a heavy sleeper, pretty cool right? Well not for me!'

Soon after Sakura woke up I helped her put on her clothes and ran to the dining room to eat our breakfast. Once we finished eating our breakfast and putting on our sandals Mother and Father kissed us goodbye as we rushed to the academy.

Sakura and I hurriedly opened the door to our classroom and thankfully we didn't use too much force since slamming the door open wouldn't be the best thing to do. We quickly ran to our seats.

"Woah what's the rush you two?" Iruka asked, putting down the attendance sheet he held.

"We just didn't want to be late" I replied while plopping down on my seat. I looked to my left and saw a familiar duck-haired kid.

"Hey Sasuke," I greeted with a bright, friendly smile. "Hey Aika I hope you feel better now"

"Thanks for worrying about me, I feel really good now!"

"That's great," Sasuke said with a small smile. 'Awawawa! How adorable! I should enjoy this sight while I can since everyone will grow up and won't look as adorable soon… Ah right! I should ask Iruka how much chakra I have.' I raised my small hand.

"Yes Aika what is it?"

"Iruka-sensei I fainted so I didn't know how much chakra I have so could you please tell me how much I have?" Iruka looked at me and said,

A/N {Wahahaha! I'm the ultimate evil I gave you another cliff! Oh yeah, I was forced to run again and I took a shower, right? I somehow found out how to get the perfect temperature! Not too hot not too cold Wahaha I'm so proud of myself! Hey! Don't imagine me taking a shower! pervert! Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting!

Anyways, We did it, everyone! We finally got 15k words! My fanfic will now appear on the rankings. I'm super excited! I hope you all have a pleasant day!}
