The 90 Kids waited out in the courtyard, most talking in hushed voices. What was the 2nd exam going to be like? The three rookie teams from Konoha sat a little to the side in a medium sized circle. "What do you think will be next?" Kristi asked jittery as usual. A cold gentle wind had started coming down from the north. The blonds bright pink tank top couldn't keep out the cold she leaned towards Parker for warmth, Not noticing or not caring about her other team mate who's face was cross with jealousy.
Parker didn't notice either of them; his eyes were casting around at the girls around him. His Electric blues landed on Adara's dark hair. She had it ties up in a low bun letting some of the bangs caress her face in the wind. She was smiling at the purple haired oaf who had apparently just said something funny. Her dark eyes looked like chocolate pies just waiting to be devoured. Parker smiled slyly more to himself then anyone else as his gaze traveled farther left towards the ice queen and her court.
Hinabi was sitting as regal as ever her hawk like features resembling more of a stone carving then human. Her moon orbs were resting on her male team mate with indifference. The average male with plain hair and plain green eyes, was muttering an apology. Looking more like a subject then a team mate. The Hyuuga looked down her nose at him raising her hand to stop the mindless rambling. Lee bowed his head and turned away.
Parkers' eyes then drifted to the grey haired girl. It started to drizzle lightly; her t-shirt started clinging to her awkward teenage curves. The silk boxers she was wearing were doing little to hide the fact that she had no underwear on. Her milky white legs looked strong and healthy even under the cuts and bruises he told himself must have come from training. The bunnies on her feet's ears were now drooping horribly; the rain was coming down harder. As his eyes stayed on the girls thighs they were drawn away by ruddy red hair.
Kaida looked like a typical 8 year old, could have even passed as 6. Her orange overalls and stripped shirt enhanced the little girl inside her. The little girls' body shook with cold as the rain poured down harder, ruining her pig tails. Her deep blue eyes, and sky slope nose lined with freckles would look normal on any one else her age. And it was obvious to anyone that was the look she was going for, little innocent girl. But no matter how hard she tries she would never be able to hide that sharp steel like intelligence in her eyes. His arm was brushed by a warm body.
It was his busty blond team mate, her pink tank top was now soaked showing her undershirt underneath. Electric blue eyes met denim jean color and they both smiled, and then scooted closer.
-- - -- -- -
Keiji smiled at Adara; he loved the way her hair looked in the rain, how it stuck to her face. "I'm so nervous I don't think I can handle another exam like our last one," She admitted as she took her hair out of that low bun. The wet strands stuck to her neck and as she smiled made her eyes look like to heavenly orbs to get lost in. She ran a nervous hand through it, trying to get out a couple of snarls. Keiji's brain started to wonder what it would be like to have his hands in her hair; but quickly dismissed that. That would never happen. "If Anko has a team this year, does that mean she is no longer the 2nd exam proctor?" Keiji asked Adara.
"Subaku no Temari is the proctor this year, I heard her talking to my brother. Apparently everyone's making a big fuss cause the Kazekage wants to come to this chunnin exam and he was scheduled to come to the next." Adara explained pulling her hair back to put it back in a bun.
Zaki suddenly turned around her Hazel eyes blinking, "Gaara's coming?" She asked in a voice Keiji had never heard from her before. IT was a gentle almost whimsical whisper.
Adara shrugged "I think that's the name of the Kazekage."
The grey haired girl seemed to realize what she just sounded like and an unfamiliar blush crossed her features. "Oh cool" She dismissed as she turned away.
-- --- -----
Kaida wondered for the briefest moment about Zaki's reaction to the news about that Kazekage, but quickly dismissed it, there was better things to worry about. Like the task at hand.
Suddenly out of no where a violent wind crossed the courtyard. Kaida's reaction was to automatically ground herself with sending chakra to her feet. Zaki also reacted quickly, Flying up in the air and setting of her chakra through her pores dodging the attack. After she landed she had enough footing to make a small shield around there group. With her natural Kekkei Genkai, she didn't have to use up as much chakra as other making the shield. IT let her move the others persons wind chakra instead of making a chakra shield herself. Letting her manipulate the wind chakra all ready in the air instead of using any of her own.
Kaida looked around people who hadn't been prepared were flying backward and scrambling to keep there balance Most were in a crouching position behind a very big objects weapons out. The 8 behind Zaki were ready; Adara didn't have her weapons out yet. She frowned, "This is an attack from the 2nd exam proctor, when the wind releases don't automatically attack her wait until she says something." She told the eight, they all nodded.
A beautiful Laugh rang out through the courtyard when the wind stopped, "Oh its so much fun playing with you." It sang. Out snapped a beautiful blond woman strutted out into the court yard, One Gennin through a kunai at her; she didn't even look at it as she flicked it out of the way. "Hello Gennin I'm the second exam proctor." The Gennin looked up.
"Is that the exam?" Kaida asked the others they shrugged.
"Unfortunately that little wind was just me having fun with you; the real exam has yet to come up." Temari explained. "Follow me if you would like to continue the exam,"
After a while they reached a huge forest that was blocked off with electrical wire, Kaida gulped something wasn't right. She hugged Yo closer to herself something was going to happen very soon. "We will line you up in a random line!" The woman barked. After a while when every one was arranged the girl continued. "Your team will enter the forest of death; you have 3 days to reach the tower at the very center of the forest." Temari took a breath, "But that's not all you will be given one scroll either an earth scroll or a heaven scroll. Before you can enter the tower you must have both an earth and heaven scroll. You can not open the scrolls before heading into the tower."
Keiji thought about Parkers team, Anko was there sensei they probably already had a lot of experience in these woods. "You may get a scroll in order and then enter the forest. Keiji's team was in the middle number 15th from the door, Adara was #7 and Parker #27. Kaida was trying her little girl impersonation again, "I hope there are no bugs in the woods they are really really scary!" The rain had started again turning the ground into mud.
The ground wasn't too muddy but it was slowly getting worse and worse, Zaki was on her skateboard, more of a nervous habit then for transportation. Keiji looked behind them; a team from Suna was there. The one directly behind him was a girl with chin length violet hair. Her face was angular along with her body. She was up to Keiji's nose which was tall for a girl. Her body was boyish and not very well developed. Her nylon shirt wasn't revealing anything in the rain. It matched the color of her hair her eyes were green. Her arms were folded trying not to listen to her two male team mates.
The one in the middle had jet black hair, a fro hawk that was starting to sag to one side in the rain, his pants were too tight for him and his shirt probably from the girl section of the department store, at his sides were two whips and a ninja pack. His team mate had odd purple make up on his face and was wearing a huge sweat shirt with baggy pants. They were both leaning toward each other whispering something. Keiji concentrated his hearing towards there chat, they seemed to be examining something.
"I think we have the best view in the house" The black haired one said, the other grunted in response. "Looks good enough to eat." He kept on saying; it took a while for Keiji to realize that they were talking about Zaki.
Her boxers and shirt were now soaking through clinging unceremoniously to her every body part. She bent down to tie her shoe. Both the guys suppressed a moan. "Talk to her," The baggy clothed guy nudged the other one. Zaki stood up and stretched a bit.
"So doll face, you like riding big long planks of wood?" The guy said. Keiji met the eyes of his female team mate, she just shrugged. Zaki ignored the bastard.
-- ------ - -
Kaida examined the proctors handing out the scrolls, in random orders he would pick from his left hand or right hand. He looked incredibly bored. That boy from behind them was still bothering Zaki he had been doing it for the past 5 minuets and she hadn't even looked at him. He was becoming more frustrated with each passing moments.
"It's not nice to ignore people toots," The boy said voice getting graver and graver. They were about 5 from the front of the line. Zaki finally looked at the boys behind her; she rolled her eyes at them. Kaida could sense Keiji getting more frustrated with each passing remark. She stepped closer to him and put her small hands on his arm. His gold eyes were blazing she just told him to chill with her eyes. Finally seeming to have it with her attitude the guy with the tight pants, grabbed her by the shoulder and wheeled her around to face him, "What is it honey, think your too good for a little chat?" He sneered. Keiji was about to through a punch she could sense it; Kaida grabbed his arm and shook her head at him, sensing the frustration through out his body. Those sand kids were just trying to get them riled up. Zaki could handle that skeeze bag.
Zaki's face took on a superiority that Hinabi would be proud of. "Sorry I thought you were talking to my team mate Keiji, you seem like that type of guy. So could you please get you hand off me please." Her voice made the atmosphere around them seem a couple degree's cooler.
A proctor's voice rang out "Hey you guys, no fighting until told too!" The guy reluctantly let go of Zaki.
"Sorry sir I just wanted to tell this girl it was unwise not to have underwear on, especially on assignments." His voice rang out.
That was it Keiji lunged at the guy, but stopped right before his attack, Zaki's hand raised to stop him. Her exterior was cool and her eyes were full of disgust and hate. "Don't bother with trash, Keiji" She said. She then turned around and got on her skate board one more time, the line moved up they were only two from getting their scroll and leaving. A dark silence descended upon them as the rain was letting up a little. The ground was still mucky around them. That didn't stop Zaki from trudging on, on her skate board. They were only one away from the door. The boy had kept his eyes on Zaki, and then out of no where he kicked the skate board out from under her.
The Catastrophe that followed was criminal and comical all at the same time. Zaki was thrown off balance by the sudden shock; she fell on the guy in front of her who was grabbing at the scroll. This of course led to a domino effect, he fell on to the proctor and then the proctor fell a lot like Keiji onto the table full of scrolls. The scrolls then rolled away like marbles the mud seeming to help their movements instead of hurting them.
"What the HELL!" Keiji heard Temari's voice coming closer to them. "Nobody move a fucking inch!" She yelled as she got to the front entrance of the forest.
She saw the scene, "YOU three, get up!" She snarled, she then shot her head towards the other proctors. "You guys pick this mess up quickly! Who started this?" She asked her voice full of the fire of fury.
A silky musical voice floated up from behind them, "Oh it was nobodies fault, Miss Proctor." It was the girl from the sand team, she had walked up closer to the catastrophe, and she seemed a lot smoother walking up there. She was in control of this scene you could tell. She then bent down a picked up Zaki's skate board. "It was this thing" Her voice spoke of the skate board like a disease. She showed Temari it then walked towards Zaki.
Zaki's hair was even in more of a mess and a whole half of her face and body was caked with mud. "It seems to be the cause of a couple problems today." The sand koniochi's voice still had that light musical tone to it. She had each side of the skate board in her hand. Her green eyes looked at Zaki's Hazel eyes both of them were issuing the other silent challenges. "Maybe we should get rid of it." The girl suggested her tone no longer musical but icy.
"Give it back." Zaki whispered her voice filled with fire and her face giving into an unusual flush.
The girl raised a delicate eye brow, and with little to no strength snapped Zaki's skateboard right in front of her face. There was now two sections of the board both vertical. "Here have it." The sand Koniochi then gave the pieces back. Zaki's face was in shock.
Her face was unnaturally white as she looked at the skate board. Her hands shook with either trying to keep back tears or pure anger. Kaida didn't know what to do she had never seen Zaki so angry before, it scared her. The proctor handed her a heaven scroll.
"It's your turn to get into the woods." He told her, "Take your team mate and get as far away as possible." Kaida nodded and turned toward Zaki. She was still in the same place shaking violently.
"Zaki, its time to go," Kaida tried to make her voice gentle; she didn't know how to handle this. Zaki didn't get upset like this, not ever she never shook like she was doing now. She turned around sharply her face red with anger and tears, in one of her hands the two pieces of her skate board.
She rushed to get to the entrance by Keiji and Kaida, not bothering trying to hold back the tears in her eyes as she bumped into the examiner. "So-so-sorry" she stammered as she ran off, Keiji and Kaida following her.
Zaki continued to go north and then went towards the west suddenly Keiji and Kaida followed. They stopped in a clearing that looked mildly safe. They all scouted out and laid traps around the spot to signal if anyone was coming.
"Are you all right Zaki?" Keiji asked her voice filled with general worry.
Zaki's voice was a little shaky as she smiled at them "oh I'm fine it was just an act, I got-got an earth scroll from the examiner!" She gave a little laugh. The attempt to hide her problem was so feeble both Keiji and Kaida figured that the scroll was either an accidental thing she lifted off him or was a spur of a moment decision. Zaki was fazed by her skate board's death, but she tried not to let it show. She gave Kaida the earth scroll.
Kaida put down Yo on the ground and took out a kunai, using it as a knife she cut the seems of his back. At first all you could see was fluff, but she quickly pulled out exploding tags and kunia's along with smoke bombs, she stuffed those in another ninja pack she put on her leg, she then put the two scrolls in Yo. She pulled out a needle and thread and slowly sewed the gap back together, with no false stitch.
"That's a clever idea Kaida when did you come up with it?" Keiji asked her trying to regain a friendlier atmosphere. She shot him a dirty look.
"Un like you two I've been preparing for this." She spat finishing off the sewing. She then took one stick she had gathered and stuck two exploding tags on it. She quickly did hand signs and used a transformation jutsu on the stick, "If any body does manage to get this scroll once my chakra is too far away to sense the tags on the stick will explode." She explained. "You see I want to be a chunnin." She explained.
"Why put two tags on it?" Zaki asked finally getting out of her stooper.
"Well if any team does manage to get this scroll from us I want to make dam sure we don't have to face them again during the third exam, this explosion will be big enough to clear a section in the forest."
Zaki nodded her head, she then sat down to face Kaida, "Got a plan?" Keiji would have joined in but a bird distracted him. It had been there since they got there but its eyes were too black to be real. He stepped closer to it, something was wrong with that bird. Keiji stepped closer, suddenly out of no where he saw a string, it was a camera! Keiji pulled out a kunai and cut the power cord as fast as possible. "That was a camera guys! Let's get out of here!" He said the other two got up as fast as possible and started running north.
After a while they slowed down a bit, "Why you think a camera was there?" Kaida asked.
"It had a cord to it; I doubt that a team could install a camera that intricate in the hour and a half we've been doing this exam." Keiji reasoned, "So it was probably just a camera put in there to watch us in the second exam. But still its better safe then sorry." He explained to them. "Are we going directly to the tower or waiting for a while."
"Were going to lurk outside the tower for a couple of hours before hand so it doesn't look too suspicious. We do want to get inside before sundown though, I don't want to be caught up in what ever nastiest live regularly in this forest." Kaida told him.
------ --- - ---
It was now 5'oclock in the afternoon. Nothing especially amazing had happened to them, Kaida was disappointed. And they couldn't have fun with themselves either, Zaki was still depressed about her skate board, really what was so god dam important about that thing? She was still carrying around those pieces of her board. They were sitting down by a tree stump all of them exhausted from pretending to run. "Are we like scary or something? Why the hell is nobody trying to attack us?" Keiji asked.
"You're complaining, the less we have to do the better, keep our ace in the hole for later."
Suddenly out of nowhere a kunai comes flying out of the tree. "Thanks for the jinx Keiji!" Zaki yelled. Three shinobi came out of the tree's leaping they were all from the grass village. The middle one was the first to attack Keiji, who had the fake scroll on him. Keiji dodged and pulled out his own kunai.
The guy went for him again throwing a punch at his face, Keiji easily grabbed his hand but was pushed back again by the force. Keiji took the mans fist in his hand and crushed it. The man gritted his teeth from crying out loud. Keiji pushed him back into a tree.
Kaida was dodging her opponent's blows, she could tell he was not used to attacking girls her age and he was holding back his blows. Not a wise move, but who could blame him she looked adorable. She smiled at him, "I'm sorry mister we have to fight, but we both need the others scroll." She said in her kid like voice. The man faltered a bit and Kaida took her opening, Jamingjamming him in the tendon with her kunai, he cried out in pain.
His cry was not the only one to heard, Zaki had just got herself slammed into the tree. These opponents weren't using any Ninjutsu's she was doomed, so far it's been a whole Tai Jutsu battle. She was descent but the opponent was overpowering her with attacks. Keiji needed to help her out she all ready had a kunai in her arms. Keiji could probably handle two guys.
He backed up so he was nearer Zaki. "Switch places with me when I say switch he whispered she nodded. Right now she was in a stale mate with the other guy both putting force into their kunia's. Zaki was now leaning back the man was overpowering her, Keiji's guy just threw another punch and the only thing behind them was a huge tree. "Now!" He shouted, Zaki then released the pressure stepping to the side and aiming the guy right at Keiji who also stepped to the side as the guy he was fighting, they both turned into mud. Zaki turned around and threw a kunai at the darkness; they heard a tink of mettle on mettle. There was somebody there all right; Kaida had taken care of her clone.
Suddenly a fire ball came whizzing towards Kaida, Zaki jumped in and redirected it towards the leaves making them catch fire lighting up the darkness ahead of them. The three shinobi were caught by surprise that she would try to destroy the forest. The almost fallen leaves were easily started on fire even with the rain to come and soak them, Smoke started rising upwards leaving behind its horrible smell. The tree's started to catch on fire. The trees were old and dense but it seemed extremely flammable. The three opponents split up all going in different directions. Kaida, Keiji and Zaki formed a protective circle. The forest around them was catching fire quickly, Keiji had just gotten singed by an ember, more and more were falling.
"We should get out of here!" Zaki coughed the smoke was getting to them and the intense heat was making them sweat.
"Which way?" Keiji asked scanning the flames for their opponents.
"East!" Kaida commanded. They sprang forward trying to get out of the burning clearing. Out of nowhere a kunai came whizzing at Zaki, Kaida jumped in front of it, the kunai sliced her side and she fell over into a burning bush. Keiji hauled her out of it before her whole body could catch fire, but the hem of her overalls did. Keiji quickly slapped them out.
A dozen more kunia's came at them in different directions, Keiji was attending to Kaida who couldn't stand because of the burns she just got. Zaki took some of the existing flame and made a circular shield around them that was hot enough to burn mettle.
Unfortunately that means they were stuck inside it. Keiji was dizzy from the heat surrounding them; he could barely dress the wound of Kaida properly. "This….won't work!" He panted the oxygen was wearing out.
"I figured." Zaki coughed. "grab Kaida and move as fast as physically possible. 1…2…3..4 GO!" She said Keiji sprang toward the east and the tower. The Grass nin quickly on there tail Kaida was still breathing but it was getting slower he could feel it on his back.
"Keiji," She coughed it was barely audible over the burning forest around them. "Give them your scroll I don't think…can't waste chakra maintaining jutsu." She then gave a horrible cough and that meant that the stick he was carrying would explode soon. Keiji skidded on the ground and turned around to face them, He threw the fake scroll at the grass nin. "HERE take it," He shouted.
"NO KEIJI!" Zaki yelled at him in dismay.
Keiji turned around and yelled at Zaki, "we need to get our team mate medical help for Christ sake!" He yelled and started running toward the tower as fast as possible Zaki quickly on his heels.
In less then a 3 minuets they were at the doors and were in side. As they shut the doors to the tower they heard a horrible explosion the building was shaking too, but they both ignored it. Keiji quickly let down Kaida and laid her on the floor, she wasn't breathing. "Do you know CPR?"
Keiji frowned, "Not very well." He told her "You do it!"
"I don't know how I skipped that day!" Zaki said in panic. Keiji gave a growl of frustration and opened her mouth and squeezed her nose. "Its 8 for kid's right?" He asked pushing on Kaida's diaphragm trying to get her too breath. ".." Keiji leaned down again a doomed silence fell upon them. ".5.6.7..." Keiji was crying, Kaida was too young to die, she was she couldn't have, a small coughing sound came from the eight year old. Both her team mates breathed a sigh of relief.
Keiji helped her sit up, "So did the exploding tags work?" She asked right away. Both of her team mates looked quizzical.
"well, lets find out" Zaki said stepping towards the door and opening it, the tree's that used to be there were now smoky stumps. The entrance of the forest was now in clear view from the entrance of the tower. Keiji only had one thought in his mind, 'Was Adara ok?'
"We should go out and look for the others and see if they are ok!" Keiji said almost charging, out of the tower. Zaki stopped him her face was grave.
"We need provisions first, we don't have anything to help people with." She told him. "Plus Kaida is still hurt, its time to look after our own."
"OUR OWN! What about Adara? Or Lee or Kristi, Parker Micah! They are all from Konoha we need to see if they are ok!"
"Kaida can't do anything right now she can barely stand let alone go out looking for people!" Zaki argued, Kaida was leaning down by the wall in holding her head in her hands.
"We can't just leave those people out there, what if the chunnin can't find them all?" Keiji asked. Adara, what if Adara was hurt, What if something happened to her?
"Adara's a capable Koniochi Keiji she can handle herself." Zaki said as though reading his mind.
Keiji flushed, he was not going to stand here and do nothing. "I'm going whether you two go or not." He threatened.
"Wait 30 minuets Keiji" Kaida ordered she was now standing and leaning on the wall. "I need time to rest and Zaki and you can go explore the tower to see if there is any medical supplies we could bring" Kaida offered she shrunk back down towards the floor, and closed her eyes falling asleep chest rising and falling peacefully.
-- - --
Adara was rushing towards the explosion, her team had seen it from the other side of the forest, but decided to go towards it because discarded scrolls could be lying about. Adara just wanted to see if Keiji was ok, she didn't really care about getting a stupid scroll any more. What if Keiji had been in that explosion, what if…something bad happened to him. Adara shook herself she couldn't just do nothing.
When they got to the sight of black wood stumps and no more vegetation they stopped. Lee had out his medical kit, it was sad he wanted to be a med nin really bad, but he had to be the head of his clan instead. A cough erupted from the left. A grass nin laid there bleeding from his intestines.
Lee automatically set to work stitching him up. "Hey there what your name?" he asked cause he needed to keep the guy talking and breathing.
"Kira." Was the week response, he sounded like he was in pain.
"Can you fix him?" Adara asked.
"His intestines are like confetti, I can help him along, you would need an actual medic to heal him." Lee said concentrating on the boy below him.
"I'll go get a medic chunnin; you go find his team mates." Hinabi ordered. "Lee you stay here and do what you can."
Adara nodded, she kneeled over Kira, "Kira what are your team mate's names?" She asked.
Kira gave a painful groan, "Danny and Mark they are twins." Adara nodded and started forward.
She didn't know where to start searching. She heard mettle being drawn behind her she turned around and flew a kunai behind her. A boy with his arm in a really bad sling and could barely stand up stood against her. "Go away, neither my brother or I have a scroll."
"Danny?" She asked, He blinked once.
"No Mark, how do you know Danny?" He accused flashing his Kunai again.
"Its ok, my team mates and I found your other team mate Kira; we wanted to find you too." She dropped her kunai to show she meant no harm.
"I..I don't believe you, the blast, Kira he couldn't have, he couldn't have survived he was holding the dam thing when it exploded."
"He's not in very good condition, but Lee's trying to help." She explained. Mark doubled over in pain, something was wrong with him too. Adara went over to his body, he was trying to not to cry out loud. "Believe me, I'm here to help." She said in a soothing tone. Mark relaxed a bit. "Now where's Danny?" She asked.
"Help me up and I'll show you." He grimaced. Adara hauled his arm over her shoulder. They hobbled toward where his twin was sitting nursing his own wound.
"I'll show you guys Kira." She told them. They all walked toward Lee who was still talking and trying to fix the broken boy. Kira gave a small smile when he saw his team mates. "Hey guys." He wheezed.
"Hey Kir," Danny said sitting down and holding Kira's hand. "You going to be all right man, I know you are."
Kira gave a small smile, he was dozing off. "Make sure he doesn't fall asleep!" Lee warned his forehead sweating with perspiration from trying to fix him. "WHERE"S HINABI WHEN YOU NEED HER!?" he asked in frustration. "I'm not going to be able to keep this up." Danny squeezed Kira's hand tighter.
"Come on Kira; remember when that dog peed on Mark?" Danny's twin gave a barking laugh, so did the dying boy.
"Yeah," He wheezed. "It was so funny sensei…" his breath was dying and his eyes were drooping.
"Get out of the way boy!" A demanding voice said to lee. Lee turned around there was Hinabi with a women by the name of shizuni pulled up her sleeves. Lee scooted away to allow her better access.
"What where you doing?" She asked lee eyeing up his handy work.
"well…" Lee started in a detailed explanation of what happened to Kira, Shizune nodded when ever he talked. Danny was still holding Kira's hand.
Mark tapped Adara on the shoulder, "Thanks." He said to her.
Adara smiled "no problem."
"You could have just taken our scroll of kira and let him die." Mark reasoned. Adara shook her head.
"No I couldn't, as shinobi I like to think we try to prevent useless death, not cause it. I know that's not always the case but that's how I like to view things." Mark nodded his head in understanding. He then went over and took something off of Kira, he handed Adara an earth scroll, the scroll that they needed.
"Here take this. We are not going to be using it." He told her, Adara nodded her head. "Now if you guys don't become Chunnin's I'll be disappointed." Mark smiled at Adara, Adara smiled back both of them were just too plain exhausted to say anything else. Adara sat down and waited for the surgery to be done.
---- -------
Keiji, Zaki and Kaida were all ready to leave the tower, but before they could head out a Kiba appeared. "Sorry kids once your in the tower you have to stay here, it's a rule."
"WHY WEREN"T WE TOLD THIS!" Keiji demanded.
The chunnin scratched his back, "because this is the first time a group actually wanted to leave the tower, we just enacted it."
"That's a bunch of crap!" Zaki yelled.
"You can leave and be disqualified." He warned, he looked at the determination in their eyes. "They have just sent a bunch of chunnin to the spot to help with the wounded; they wouldn't need your help anyway." Kiba tried to keep them from going; he didn't want poor Kaida to go through any more. She looked like she could barely stand. "Plus look at your team mate there, she needs rest." Both the older kids' shoulders sagged in semi guiltiness. "Just stay." Kiba said.
"Is this another trick?" Kaida asked her voice was filled with weariness. Her eyes were looking at Kiba a little sad; like she couldn't believe he would try to stop her. IT made his heart give a lurch.
"No, no trick. 100% truth." Kiba assured. Kaida kept her eyes on Kiba they seemed to burn into his soul.
"I believe him." She finally said, the other two looked at her. Keiji still seemed uneasy.
"SO we will stay?" Zaki asked, Kaida nodded, Keiji growled.
OK so I know it was a long chapter, I really liked this one. I know this arc is going fast but really its just to introduce more charectors! Please tell me what you think about it in more then just three words! LOL
RnR please
