"...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.

He was going to KILL that kid yes.

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

[mommahatedme]

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

[softer_strength]

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.

[mommahatedme]

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

[softer_strength]

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

[mommahatedme]

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

[softer_strength]

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

[mommahatedme]

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?

[softer_strength]

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

Kiba grinned, "save some for me."

[mommahatedme]

"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.

[softer_strength]

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

[mommahatedme]

Dezzi gave Hinata's a squeeze, "I think so too..." she said, watching him go until she couldn't even smell him anymore. "He's going to have so much fun...and I think that he'll learn things that are being yelled at him from running people."

[softer_strength]

"And he m-might remember people's names!" she laughed. "N-normally it's 'that guy' when he has classes and just knows scent!"

[mommahatedme]

"I'm not going to count on that." she said, grabbing Shino's hand as well and dragging them both into the gym. She tried to subtly drop both ninja hands in a way that would let them brush against each other, buuuuut missed her opportunity and sulked (very briefly, and entirely internally) to herself.

"Okay! What besides pizza has shown up?"

[softer_strength]

Shino had learned the ratio if successful grans to non that kept Dezzi happy, so yes she got his hand on this round. But no they weren't going to stumble, it wasn't in their nature.

"Bags of i0ice!" Hinata giggled.

"I believe there's students with beverages inbound," Shino noted.

[mommahatedme]

They weren't, but she couldn't help but try. She was, after all, very much on team "Hinata Needs Shino". "Okay, good. I did get some good drinks, and there should be desserts and things too. Also, you know, food that flirts with healthy."

[softer_strength]

"Just t-tell us where you need us!" Hinata smiled. "I think I'm f-first aid at need too?"

Shino nodded, "students will appreciate that."

[mommahatedme]

"Yup! I've got plenty of bandages and stuff so you won't have to use your own supplies." She didn't expect more than bruises and scrapes, but she expected a lot of those. "Shino, can you help set up the TV? Some of the guys are wearing GoPros and streaming."

[softer_strength]

"May we have copies of the footage?" Shino asked, glancing toward the television. It would be useful to review so they could all practice aboiding cameras better! He expected Kiba would notice the surveillance gear within a few captures but, well...

[mommahatedme]

"That's my plan, anyway." she agreed. Dezzi went to fuss with the seating, which was mostly huge pillows and some rugs, and let Shino get the streaming set up going. "I'm gonna watch those take-downs over and over myself."

Because...Kiba.

When other people started showing up (with food, drinks, and notes from class) she bounced around greeting them.

[softer_strength]

Most of the scenes were just showing normal running or hiding, currently, but there was always hope for future events! One of the kids set up a whiteboard with odds as a matter of course, bets taken in sugary products or jerky!

"Ahno, is Akamaru w-wearing a camera?" Hinata blinked, catching one camera set that was moving, well, too well.

[mommahatedme]

"Uh huh." Dezzi called back, after placing her bet (Kiba, to win, four hours). "He suggested it, after we watched a movie with a guy wearing one."

[softer_strength]

"W-what is the rule is Kiba captures Akamaru?" she giggled.

"It would be an intelligent move," Shino mused, devating whether that meant it was going to occur to their partner or not.

[mommahatedme]

"No rule." was the response, as Dezzi flopped on her favorite of the big pillows. "He doesn't get points for capturing Akamaru, but he also doesn't lose any. Really, it's about getting the information into his brain."

[softer_strength]

"I mean does Akamaru have to s-stay if he's brought here?" she laughed.

Shino started poking a stack of board games, nodding slightly, "it would remove the largest complication."
