Welcome to Gaia! ::

(miroku getting fresh
<^>0.0 yes i can do that rofl )

As the familiar puff of smoke appeared, Iruka smiled. This was the farthest Nemu had ever gotten! He knew her grades were lousy because she slept through most of her tests and exams, but the few times that she'd actually been awake, she had passed easily. Would this be the same? Or would her lack of experience cause her to mess up.
"...zzzzz..."
"Of course, shouldn't've gotten my hopes up."
Iruka was just about to turn and leave, since it usually took at least an hour for Nemu to wake up, when the dissipating smoke caught his eye. What's this? Slumped on the floor, peacefully sleeping, was an exact copy of him! She'd done it, even though she'd barely managed to stay awake long enough. Even as he watched, her lack of consciousness caused the transformation to disappear. But she'd done it!
"It's about time. Too bad you weren't awake long enough to notice."
Even for aggravating cases like this, Iruka was a nice guy. He genuinely cared about his students, even when they made him really regret his choice in careers. And Nemu was certainly a unique case, he'd wait for her to wake up before telling her she passed.

When the next morning rolled around, Nemu only overslept by an hour! Thinking it must be a good omen, she got ready and set out for the academy like she did so many other times. She made the trip without mishap, she didn't even fall asleep, so she was only two hours late for class.
This was of course met with some surprise by the rest of the class, and Iruka-sensei, who all were used to her ridiculously late tendencies. But today seemed different, Nemu seemed wide awake. Not about to pass this opportunity up, Iruka went right into the next lesson, which happened to be Bunshin no Jutsu. Some of the students seemed unhappy with this, others seemed ecstatic, about what you'd expect.
Iruka demonstrated the lesson, showing the different hand signs and chakra requirements. It was a little more complicated than the Henge no Jutsu, but those students who'd already mastered that didn't seem to have much problems getting used to the different levels of chakra and concentration required. One by one, the students moved to the front of the class and attempted the new jutsu. Some succeeded, some almost did, and others failed miserably.
Finally, it was Nemu's turn. If there existed someone who could hear thoughts, they'd likely be surprised to hear Nemu and Iruka both wishing that Nemu could stay awake through the entire jutsu for once. But the time for wishing was over, now was the time to actually do something. Nemu got ready, built up her chakra, and started.

Class continued on while Nemu dozed. Iruka explained the jutsu in further detail, giving out pointers on what might help those who couldn't do it pull it off, or for those who'd already managed it, to maintain it longer. Much of these details probably would have helped Nemu, and they were written on the board, but her sleeping through them would surely hurt her chances.
By the time Nemu woke up, the entire class had already mastered the jutsu, with the exception of her, of course. But she wasn't disturbed by this, the same thing had happened so many other times it didn't faze her anymore. So once Iruka motioned her down, she was able to remain calm as she readied herself for her next attempt.
She read all the pointers on the board, spent a few moments making sure she udnerstood them, and took the opportunity to ask a few questions. Once that was all done, she was finally ready to try. Straightening her posture, she prepared herself, building up chakra and goign through the signs. Finally, she began.
A large cloud of smoke appeared, and began to drift away, masking the results of her newest attempt. Most of the other students watched closely, eager to see if they'd get another laugh out of Nemu's excuse for clones.
But not this time! When the smoke cleared, there stood three Nemus, all three awake, all three looking virtually identical.
"I did it? I really *yawn* did it?"
"You sure did, great job!"
In her happiness, Nemu didn't really pay attention to what she was doing. When she yawned, the contagious nature of yawns made her two clones do the same, although both did the full body arm stretch yawn. They hit each other in the chin, and promptly disappeared. Nemu looked a little embarassed, and went back to sit down, the laughter of most of the class filling the room.
(Bunshin no Jutsu: 3/3 complete!)

Class was dismissed for the day, and Iruka reminded everyone that there were other teachers offering supplementary classes for those who wanted to hone their skills, or learn new ones. Some students signed up, others were ordered to, and others thought it was all a big hassle.
Nemu, wanting to take advantage of her waking hours, immediately signed up. She hadn't even noticed which list she'd put her name on until later, after class was dismissed. She would be attempting to learn the Art of Substitution, with one Isuta Sagi.
She went on her way, apparantly Sagi preferred outside more than classrooms; she had quite a walk in store for her. Doing her best to stay awake, Nemu went on her way. Down the street, towards the edge of the village, into the forest. Sagi certainly seemed to like tranquility, Nemu was barely within the confines of the Leafe Village anymore.
But finally, she got to her destination. A small hut in the forest, it looked remarkably simple and rustic, as if it'd been made before the village. In fact it was only made a dozen years ago, but not by very experienced hands. Even so, it had an aura of peacefulness, that very nearly lulled Nemu into sleeping again.
"Hello there. You must be here for extra lessons?"
Nemu looked around, where had the voice come from? She looked more carefully, and finally saw an odd movement out of the corner of her eye. By the time she turned to face that direction, Sagi was already sitting in front of her, like he'd been there all along.
"Um, yes, how should we start?"
"In time, in time. First, sit down, and pay attention..."
Nemu did as she was asked, and Sagi began talking. He was explaining how the jutsu worked, what it meant and why it should be used. It was avery in-depth explanation, and his voice was so peaceful it was no surprise that Nemu fell asleep. Even people who didn't have narcolepsy very well could have done the same.
