College...

Who: Team 8, Dezzi, her world
When: End of first college year.
What: Exams

"...so we can't just find the answers?" Kiba groaned, flopping on the rooftop with his lunchbox on his chest. "I mean, that's the best answer right?"

"Things are different here," Shino noted, glancing at him briefly, judged by the shifting of his glasses! "Cheating is not a skill here. You should know these things from class."

Kiba lifted his head enough to glare at his teammate, "I know where the teacher keeps shit."

"Ahno..." Hinata winced.

"Ugh! I'm going to FAIL! Does that mean I'm kicked out of college and have to wait on the sidewalk all day?!" Kiba moaned, flopping his head back.

Hinata winced and patted his leg gently, "no, but you will need to repeat a c-class if you fail?"

"THAT'S WORSE!" Earth America History was so BORING. The others yeah he could scrape by without cheating but there was just no focus for him there. Even when there were battles he made his notes on how stupid it was and zoned back out! And they had so many leaders in so short a space!

"We will mourn your failure," Shino noted drily.

He lifted his head to glare at Shino again then groaned, "that's fair. Fuck I'm screwed. Could one of you clone technique me?" Take his test for him?

"That's cheating!" Hinata yelped.

"Team integrity!" he countered. He knew it wasn't going to fly but hey, he had to try. "I'll see if challenging the teacher to physical combat helps," he grumbled. It might? Who knew?

"Don't do that," Hinata sighed, "please. The teacher is a civilian!"

"Yeah yeah," he grumbled. "Sorry guys."

Shino snorted, "try reviewing notes before the test."

"I'll consolidate some notes for you!" Hinata beamed, launching from the roof to go find his classmates.

"...fuck," he grumbled.

"But his reflexes beat yours by a lot." Just. Saying. "Not dead isn't the same as not getting hurt at all." And he got very annoyed when people hurt his Dezzi!

"...oh." Blank, panicked staring! Was there a right answer here?! Was there not? Shit was staring bad?! "I like you." Um. Anyway she enjoyed being?

"Thank you for worrying about me, but this really isn't a problem...but I guess if it worries you enough I can ask if Akamaru can audit the class."

Then she placed a kiss on one of his tattoos, "There isn't a wrong answer, Kiba."

"You have to heal burns again and he goes to class," he nodded firmly. That was just...yeah. Much firmer ground there!

He tilted his head at that, amused, "yeah, but there's no real wrong way to do hair either?"

"If he gets permission to audit." Dezzi corrected, "I'm not risking my education."

"Well, yes, but...I don't know if I should? Or not. I'm used to short hair, but I cut it short mostly so Jonathan wouldn't pull on it when I was a kid. Then I just...kept it short, because I don't get tangled up. But you keep me safe."

"It's Akamaru or Shino," he shrugged simply. One of them would manage!

Huh, well, that was that asshole guy right? "Why did you let him keep his hand?" he growled. Right, right, not a him problem but FUCK THAT GUY. "Well...try it and see how you feel?" he offered. "Then you'll know?"

"I'll ask for both." she said with a sigh.

"Because I was six and afraid of being killed." she said simply, "Okay. We'll try it out."

"If it happens again to that degree," he grumbled. Just saying, she snacked all the time yes, but having to after a class was bad!

"Yeah, and what did your alphas say about him?" he sighed, ruffling her hair.

She almost kept arguing, then decided that it would be stupid to do so when he was just worried about her. She snuggled in closer at the grumbling instead, "Ahhh...well. Gram and Grand weren't around, so they didn't ask, so I just. Didn't offer."

He...blinked? "You were afraid for you life and didn't tell them?" That was the tone that meant he miiiight shake her.

Probably.

"Ooof." she sighed and dropped backwards onto her elbows. Which slid out from under her, so her head cracked against the roof. "It's...okay, things are better than they used to be, Kiba, but the majority...which in this world is human white males for the most part, in that order...aren't good about the rest of us. The farther you get from that triad the more dangerous your life is. I've known my whole life that there are people who would kill me for existing."

The facepalm was because he was learning that he couldn't save her from EVERYTHING and hadn't caught her head? And she truly did put definition to the word klutz some days. "You had a specific though, Dezzi. You had a specific person that made you afraid since childhood."

"After a while it was just..." she shrugged from the ground, "I don't know. Just part of the background noise."

Yeah he was reaching out to grab her shirt gently and shake her slowly. Not enough to bonk her on the ground but hey, "fear for your life is not something you should be used to."

She grabbed his shoulders and hung on while he shook her, "Well, I don't much anymore!"

He was going to KILL that kid yes.

"Sometimes, Dezzi, your world is really messed up." Just saying.

"Well, yeah," she agreed, "I'm glad our kids are going to live in your world."

Yeah, his ears were turning red at that, because, well, future kids. But yes. ANYWAY. "So when did you tell them the hunt began?" he finally sighed releasing her shirt.

She checked her watch and then said, "Three more minutes."

He smiled and scooped her up, standing, "enough to get you to the gym as a hostess?"

"Well, yeah." she said, laughing and kissing him as he scooped her up. "You're going to do fine, Kiba."

"I know, Hunting is how school is suppose to be!" He had zero worries about messing that up! Off the roof they went!

Dezzi giggled softly, burying her face in Kiba's neck for a moment before tilting her head to watch things speed by. If this revision was good enough, if it helped him enough, she was going to try to see if she could get a teacher to test Kiba the same way.

It could fall under accommodations? Maybe?

Hinata and Shino were waiting by the gym when they got there? "Pizza was delivered," Shino noted.

Kiba grinned, "save some for me."

"Will do!" Dezzi said, giving him another kiss and managing to get down without needing to be steadied. "Okay! Get 'em!" and she stepped back so that he could start tracking people down.

People all over the city. Some of whom could fly.

Hinata chuckled and took Dezzi's hand, "this was a good idea!"
