We arrived at the tower quite early. Luckily. Darcy, JJ and Ty looked around wearily. They couldn't possibly be ninjas, but it seemed that JJ, with her dark chocolate skin and black hair, knew a thing or two about our lifestyle, since she kept up with us best. They slumped into a heap of joy when we walked inside.
It was a mistake bringing them in through this door.
"What are your names?"
"Hey, er Kotetsu-sensei, these are our new friends. They, er, fell out of the sky. The one with blue hair and green eyes is Darcy, the one with black hair and axinite eyes is JJ and this one with the ringletted dark hair and purple eyes is called Ty."
"Good to know. You'll have to prove your worth here, so get ready to fight." He murmed, before sauntering off to the rest of the proctors. I stared at his retreating figure.
"But- Kotetsu! They aren't shinobi!"
"Too bad. If they're in this tower, then they have to fight." I sighed and looked dejectedly at the three. I was surprised to see them trailing up the stairs to the viewing balconies, looking back at us sadly.
Darcy's P.O.V
I give up. If we're going to have to fight to find some answers, then fine. Have it their way.
Ty's P.O.V
"Darcy, how the hell are we gonna fight?!" I whispered in her ear as the first preliminaries began. We were in deep shit. And we had no clue how to clean it off.
JJ's P.O.V
They turned to stare at me, with pleading expressions, on their faces. I tugged at the hem of my army cargos, a habit I had that showed that I was thinking.
"Well- we did manage to do some sweet lightening tricks to those guys who attacked us just before we got here. Maybe we can try doing that again to fight. Then, we can get out of here OK." Sierra and her teammate came to stand by us as the girl with long hair and sparkling eyes began her match.
"You could, but you were in danger. Not serious danger, but because you were in that situation, you managed to perforum a jutsu. You can't really do that now, 'cause you know that you're safe." The plain one stated. Sierra looked offended on our behalf.
"Matsuri! How could you say something like that? You wouldn't have like it if Gaara told you that you couldn't do anything because of your fear of-" we didn't hear her next word becuase that Matsuri chick had clamped her hand over her mouth. We stared at them in wonder. So, Matsuri had a major weakness, huh?
"Wait, who's Gaara?" Darcy asked. Both of the older girls blushed. Sierra looked away and Matsuri stood there with her hands on her cheeks in a day dream manner. So, both of them had some kind of crush on this Gaara guy, huh? Must be cute. Just then, the big board, beeped.
Ty vs Yoichi
Ty's P.O.V
My heart momentarily stopped. I swear that name means bewitching, right? And if the, er, ninjas here all had some weird powers, then what did that mean for me? I muttered some profanities that Tony, my older brother had taught me. Squaring my shoulders, I asked if Sierra had any weapons. Matsuri stepped forward and strapped the puch that she had had on her right leg onto my own, giving me a strange relieved look.
"That is a ninja pouch. Inside there are twelve kunai, fourteen shuriken and about ten needles. Use this to help you fight, though I can't imagine how you even know what they are." She stated, shuddering at the weapons' names. So, she has a fear of weapons, huh? That could be useful info for the future. Gritting my teeth, I jogged down the stairs and stood in front of my opponent. He eyed me as if he couldn't believe it, and not in a good way.
So, he thinks I'm weak, huh?
Boy, is it on.
