"Am I an idiot?" was the thought that kept going through Sakumo's mind, as he raced to the academy. "I should have lost those idiots somewhere closer. All this running is such a pain." As he reached the final turn, he laughed internally at the familiarity of his position. "Let's try this again' he thought as he peered around the corner, at the school's entrance. Sure enough, Ikkaku and Shouta were posted at the front doors. If that wasn't bad enough, the large clock above the doors read, 06:25. "Five minute's!? No time to mess with these morons at the front doors. Crap! They saw me!"

"There he is!" Ikkaku shouted, pointing at Sakumo. "Get him!"

"No point in hiding,"Sakumo thought as he ran towards his enemies. "The classroom is on the right side of the building."

The distance closed rapidly, and just before colliding, Sakumo fainted to the left before darting to his right. Shouta fell for the faint, and tripped, while Ikkaku saw it coming and moved accordingly. Ikkaku was almost on Sakumo when he threw four shuriken, in a fan, at his attackers. Ikkaku was able to duck in time to not get a shuriken lodged in his face, and Shouta was still recovering from his fall. Sakumo rounded the academy's side, ignoring the front entrance, surprising Ikkaku and Shouta.

"Where's he going!" a bewildered Shouta asked.

The footsteps were getting louder. He was almost there and his pursuers were right there on his tail. He put the last of his energy into one last push and dove forward...
