Another morning in the Kuromine hosuehold, the (fake) dissected body parts hanging from the walls in Ranko's room were lit up by the sunlight. Ranko shuffled about in her bed, her eyes shut and not wanting to wake up. Suddenly, the door was slammed open, a woman with blonde hair went into the room and stripped the sheets off Ranko. **"Ranko, wake up already! You'll be late for your meeting if you keep on sleeping!"** Her mother said. Her attention was on Ranko, but then she focused on the fake body parts hanging from the wall. **"Oh my god, Ranko, I've told you time and time again that you can't hang these things on your wall. What will your friends think if they ever coem into your room?"** Her mother quickly took them off the wall. 

**"Mom... It is too early, I still have some time. And I know what you mean, that if they aren't real, there's no worth in keeping them on the wall, but they look so cool..."** She started stretching out, in her bed, still wearing her childish pijamas. 

**"I'm glad you understand, missy. Now, hurry up, get up, get dressed up and then come down for some diner."** Her mother says, turning around with Ranko's fake body parts in her arms and stepping out of her room. 

**"Yes~"**

After a nice breakfast and some chatter over the table, Ranko set off to the Academy, wearing a stripped pink and black hoodie opened up and a bit too large for her, the sleeves covering all of her hands, and a sleveless striped shirt under that, a skirt with a squared pattern and the usual sandals that ninjas wear. Skipping as she walked, she was really excited for her first day as an official ninja, her headband certifying her as one around her neck. She hummed some kind of tune as she walked. 

After a while, she finally reached the Academy and the classroom where their sensei had told them to meet. It seemed as if she had been the first one to arrive, since she heard no one inside. She smiled at the thought of it before slamming the door open. **"Sensei~! Ranko Kuromine, is here~!"**
