Chapter 10
And here they were coming. The dip in spandex, a sullen boy with long hair and purple eyes, who Amaya said was Neji, and a girl with hair like bonbons.
I don't know what compelled her to do it, but Hikara quickly pushed me to the front, as if saying, you get us out of this.
I stared at her, trying to say, are you crazy? Can't we just run? But, apparently, Hikara can't read looks easily, so I sighed, and stepped out.
Dip-head looked at me.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Neji looked at me, more than likely thinking, why's an idiot like her even trying to pass this?
I glared at him, not answering spandex-boy's question. I quickly thought of something to do, but got nothing.
"Umm," I said, and walked quickly back into the trees.
"Hey! Come back here!"
It was bonbon girl.
I looked back. Uh, nope, don't think I will, and took of, running at top speed to where to rest of the group was.
"Run!" I said.
But Katsu cut in front of me, blocking my path.
He smoothly preformed a few signs, and brought his hands to the ground. We were instantly dropped into the ground. So that's why I buried us so easily, I thought, I got his help.
I heard the cell run over us, and a muffled boom. I looked at Hikara, who mouthed, "Trick scroll."
Well. Thank goodness Katsu's on our side.
He unburied us, and I looked at the other group. Dip-man was leaning against a tree, but the other two were unfazed. I was going to throw a quick lightning bolt at him, just to make him faint, but then,
"Unnng," I said, collapsing on the ground.
Aika looked at me, "What's up with her?" she asked.
Hikara propped me up onto her shoulder, "Well, she does have about 500 bolts of lightning coursing through her. When she's running out of energy, she collapses, like so.
"What do we do?" questioned Amaya.
"Either we head toward the tower, hoping no one runs into us, or we wait for the night.
Amaya looked at the sky, "Considering it's only about 11:00 am, lets say we head on toward the tower, and hope that nobody runs into us."
"Sounds like a plan."
So, they headed off, with me sandwiched between Hikara and Ryota.
