The Exam of Tails [R]

Status
Not open for further replies.
OOC| Finally had time to rush my sign-up through!

There's only one thing I cannot fill in yet-Appearance. I can't get a zoom in picture of Sanbi, but I am trying to look at some ways I can incldue its phsyical appearance in Sakura herself, so please give me a day or two.

Name: Hinamori Sakura
Age: 12
Gender: ♀ [Female if you can't understand the symbol ^^]

Personality: Sakura is a blindly optimistic and devoted lass. She has a ditzy personality to fit with her off-the-wall weirdness. She is lazy and untidy, but as happy-go-lucky and pretty as she is, Sakura seems to be always clueless in a cute manner. Her loyalty to her pals caused her to stand up for them when they were bullied, which is certainly one of her virtues to be noted of. Basically, being the cheerful, perky and cute sketcher she is, Sakura is definitely one of the devoted and optimistic friend you would like to have.

Sakura used to be bullied herself too, but because of a few special childhood playmates who made things different for her, she learnt to stand up for herself. She is normally a happy-go-lucky and lax lass, but can be very serious and headstrong, not to mention rash at certain times, loosing her level-headed temper. Usually she can be found joking away, but she does have a few scary sides.

For example, Sakura has a weird appetite, and eats lots of junk food mix with other healthy food. Many people found that rather crazy, but for her, it's heaven. And when she boils up to a particular person, her face turns really scary, cold and aloof. Sakura will never forgive that certain somebody and a cool expression and attitude towards that person makes it all clear. When she gets depressed, Sakura can spend a whole week without speaking a single word unless she really needs to. She can also be a real bully and spiteful, spoilt brat if she wants it her way. Many people find her perky and cute, although really out of control and slightly- spoilt, but she is ultimately an adventurous and loving girl who wants nothing more than an exciting life.

History: Sakura is a lonely child by nature of the Hinamori Clan. As if being neglected by her village because of her carrying a Biju in her body isn't enough, Sakura has to accept the fact that her naturally pale pink coloured hair got her into being bullied by the neighbouring kids. The adults do not know of this, but they were kind souls who usually saw Sakura sobbing by herself, and attempted to comfort the forlon child.

However, Sakura was already a mature lass for her age, and did not want any sympathy nor console. She did not want the villagers to worry about her, so every single time she was asked about the reason behinds her tears, she merely forced a shy beam and dashed away immediately.

The bullying stopped only when Sakura was around 5 or so. She had found 3 true buddies that stood up for her. Ever since one of them strongly influenced her, Sakura has been learning ways to defend herself. However, one thing she truely does not understand is why she was bullied besides the colour of her hair. The intelligent Sakura knew that the children around were jealous of her special feature, but she also understood that that was not the only reason that gave them excuses to order her around.

That was when both her parents passed away. Sakura's elder brother painfully choked out the lie that they had been flooded in a tsunami while travelling and left two bell ribbons for Sakura, but the truth is that Sakura had lost control over the 'creature' that lay dormant in her body, and her parent sacrificed themselves out of fear that Sakura might get discriminisced because of the Biju.

Sakura blossomed into a relaxed and carefree young lass, pure and naive. The elder of her clan soon told her the truth of the death of her folks. Sakura was strong and stable, and neither weep nor wail, but deep down, she was determined to live her life to the fullest-the average and normal life her parents tried to give her.

Appearance:

Biju: The Sanbi, an aquatic, turtle-like creature, wasn't very intelligent, therefore, it's chakra was impossible to control, and though more powerful then the Biju's underneath it, less destructive due to misuse.

Jutsu/Bloodline Limit:

Bloodline Limit:
For generations, the Hinamori Clan has had quite a number of Bloodline Limits passed down, but even though they consist of great power, even one is considered very rare even in the descendants themselves. However, Sakura has managed to 'acquire' 2 Bloodline Limits, although obth requrie the huge amount of chakra. One msut have rgeat physical and mental strength in order to use these jutsus.

Shun Shun Rikka-Basically it means the Six Flowers of Hibiscus Shield. The Flowers consist of Shun'ou, Ayame, Lily (females), Baigon, Hinagiku and Tsubaki (males). The Shun Shun Rikka Bloodline Limit is made up of 3 parts -healing, defending and attacking. The user chooses anybody of any number to heal, defend herself or attack the opponent.

Hime no Hana-Princess of Flowers is the most chakra-devouring jutsu Sakura had that she almost never use it. This move allows anybody directed to have their strength and chakra healed in exchange for half of Sakura's chakra. This jutsu has only been used on a person and that's all.

Sakura serves as a medical shinobi, but she knows quite a bit of ninjutsu (like, duh!), some fuin jutsu and hardly any genjutsu. She has a hard time controlling her huge amount of chakra, but usually uses it recklessly like on her Kekkei Genkai or other extra actions. And a slight little note-although she has amazing leg strength when stomping on people, Sakura, being the 'delicate and I'm sooo precious princess' hates Taijutsu. Also, Sakura prefers to sue Elemental Releases, arguably Water Releases.

Other: Err, Sakura is cute, clumsy, careless, stupid? ^^" Just kidding, well... Let's see, Sakura's bells doesn't make a single sound when she moves o.O

Country: Kusagakure (Village Hidden Among Grass)

RP Sample: The moonlight flashed across the sky and penetrated along the dark street, lending some light to early-birds. Dominated by the intense swirling , grey clouds , the usual cerulean blue sky was history. The Lavender had thrown itself over the night, leaving an impression of an uncalm weather .Peony cuddled her sling bag closer to her chest as a chill rippled down her spine. Fear engulfed her as a pair of bats skimmed past a solitary lamp post. Biting her lip, she quickened her pace through the damp , bricked ground and felt her skin turning cold and clammy. Face pale, she could feel herself flying as she desperately try to sprint out of the lonely street. Morning, 4.30 am and it's already so creepy. She shuddered and chased the thought of being attacked by wild Pokemon off her small, harmless and innocent brain, or so she thought. This is her new life. Her new beginning of a story about to unfold .

'Only for 4 months... 4 months ... ' Peony reassured herself confidently, then sweatdropped. 'I can't go on like this,' She frowned. Reaching out for her sling bag , Peony 's sharp sense of auditory gave her some strange sensation. Not the blowing, mystical breeze , not the early rusting of newly fuddled leaves, and not the call of early birds. Her acute ears tells her that something is beneath the cold and deserted weeded by patches of... dead matter. It once consisted of lush, green tress, blankets of thick, fresh grass shaped above by blooming flora and nature ... But now, it was all different.

Peony sighed. She knew something was going on, but what? As she searched for her Pokedex, she reflected on her attributes Peony was 100% self-esteemed that her sensation and predicts will be... true. While opening her Pokedex[the one in the first season], her decent vision scanned the area dominated by tall weeds and abadnoned plants. Something caught her eye, and she knew what it was now...

She reached out for a half red, half white orb. Deep in thoughts, she pondered over which Pokemon she should use. Finally, a disadvantage usage will be the best to sharpen up her skills.

"Go, Coco!" A blinding radiant beat the moonlight as a beautiful half pink, half white ball with seven glittering branches came out. Coco squealed as she saw the resolute opponent, Gloom.

"Coco, start off the battle with Icy Wind!" Peony instructed . A gust of tornado with 80% of iciness came swishing towards Gloom. Her trainer, Beauty Becky ordered Gloom to use Stun Spore. Small littles circles of different colour came shooting towards the tornado. Some managed to break past and came swiftly towards Coco. Coco easily evaded that attack by swiftly adjusting her position as agile as possible.

"Coco, counter that with Spike Cannon followed by Bubblebeam! And use Body Slam after that!" Coco's seven branches lodged countless spikes out and she spitted out a series of bubbles elegantly as the bubbles mixed with the spikes to form a confusing scene. Gloom was trapped and its accuraccy fell as it vision was not clear.

"Gloom! No, Gloom use leech seed! " In the state of confusion, Gloom's seeds rode on the gentle breeze into different directions, but the spikes Coco released earlier on block them.

THUD! The earth must have shook. Dozens and dozens of spikes and seeds invaded the ground. It was as if hooves of Ponyta was galloping across the Earth. "The bubbles are clearing! " Becky informed the plant Pokemon. Peony smiled in the dark way .

"Coco, NOW !" Coco sprinted out of nowhere from the air above and dashed down legless like a Rapidash[imgaine that , ok?]. "Body Slam!" She braced herself on Gloom and with a BAM! , both fall onto the earth. "Coco, Recover!"
...

Becky grated her teeth."Watch out, Peony!" She gave a final warning as she picked up her beloved Gloom. "I'll beat you, JUST WATCH OUT!"

Peony sweatdropped again. " Uh, sure... Do you need Coco to use Recover and-"

Becky shook her head. "Just be careful, nowadays surprise attacks are common." Peony nodded and watched as Becky disappeared, mixing into the fog. The moon has disappeared and some part of the radiant Sun is showing .

"Coco! Your nice, good, very good, great, excellent, marvellous, wonderful, FANTASTIC!" Peony dashed over to the fatigued Pokemon. Peony herself felt her double eyelids being weighed down by fatigue, but she perservered on and praised Coco. "Let's get you some rest, alright ?" The Corsola too disappeared, dematerialized into the transparent light of her 'orb'...
 
I stood there, with chains literally wrapping my arms by my sides right down to my hands, pinned flat against me. I looked around at the people who Mom had gathered for my test, then looked over at her to figure out what she was saying. "...iation of a technique an old friend of mine once used. It involves intense endurance training, as you get more and more used to taking hits, you'll get better and better at shrugging them off. When it was mastered, it was like fighting a tank." I stared at her for a moment, trying to think if I read her right. "You expect me to just sit here and take a beating?" I asked, only mildly annoyed. I was used to this sort of thing by now.

I stared carefully, trying to read into her stance. My mother, to no end of annoyance for me, and delight for her, neither looked, nor acted her age. When we were around strangers, they often confused her for my older sister, or more often, a friend. Of course, that could have been due to her firey red hair, and deep, innocently blue eyes.

I was so focused on her that I barely noticed the hired testers charging. There was only so much that I could do. I jumped, tilting backwards slightly, delivering a two-foot kick into the chest of the first, delivering me outside the charging ring. I was acting even as they turned. I dodged out of the path of one of the kunai, another bouncing off of one of the chains, scratching my arm. I gazed over at Mom accusingly as they started charging again. "Yeah, yeah, I know, squad, teamwork and all that, but you should be able to handle yourself too, you know."

I spun as they advanced, delivering a full side-kick to the first head, sending me spinning to the side as he fell. I leapt forward as they changed to follow me, snapping my leg out as I saw someone assume a blocky stance. With his leg unlocked like that, his knee shattered. I jumped upclinging to a tree branch with my leg. "I knew that this garden would come in handy eventually." I muttered, beginning to use the momentum of swinging to scoot myself along it. I looked down as I edged towards the roof, and caught the last bit of my mother screaming at me.

"I'm not going to 'train' just by letting people beat the crap out of me. I'm going to go find my squad, and a way to get these chains off." I said, and looked over at the branch. They were WAY too close... I began swinging back and fourth again, holding in place, until I felt the branch starting to give way. I used my momentum, propelling me to the roof., From here on, it would be easy to lose them, probably Mom too... I began to run,, leaping to the balcony, then into the street. Surely my squad wcould get these damned chains of...

OOC: Not the best, I know, I've gotta do research while I post. >.o
 
"It's really beautiful, isn't it?" A navy-haired girl of unusually short stature danced carelessly atop the railing of a wooden bridge, her bright blue-green eyes glittering as she spun gracefully about. Pausing halfway through the turn, she stopped to view her reflection in the water below before narrowly dodging the sly push of a brown-haired male. Springing down from her perch, her face filled with childish indignation, the girl snapped, "Why'd you have to go and do that, huh? You're mean, Ganymede."

Ganymede sighed, running a hand through his red-streaked bangs in exasperation. "Maybe so. But you deserved it. After all, we're not here to have fun. We're here for an exam, and right now we're representatives of our village. So why don't you try being a little more serious?"

The girl immediately stuck out her tongue in response, only withdrawing it to reply, "Just 'cause Kogoe never does anything doesn't mean I can't. You two are booooring." The kunoichi turned sharply away, her short hair swinging with the movement as the forehead protector that hung about her neck glinted in the sunlight. "Besides," she added, glancing over her shoulder and around the umbrella strapped to her back, "In our village, it's rare to see water this type of blue." Without another word, she scampered on--seemingly oblivious to the worries of the exam that would soon begin.

"That Io," Ganymede murmured, his voice half resentful and half amused. A slight smile edging his features, the shinobi turned his amethyst-eyed gaze to the still waters that lay serenely beneath the bridge. I guess she was right . . . It really is rare to see water this blue back home. I wonder what type of ninjas would live in such a tranquil environment, though. Ganymede suddenly looked up, realizing that Io was no longer within view. "What the--she should know better than to run off like that." The male started forward before suddenly remembering his other, quieter teammate who had not spoken since they entered the village.

"Uh, Kogoe, you doin' okay? You've been pretty quiet," he asked hesitantly, despite having worked with Kogoe long enough to predict the answer he would receive for his inquiry. Dark hair falling slightly forward to cover the edges of the ever-present white mask, Kogoe nodded wordlessly.

Something about Kogoe's silence, eternal apathy, and unknown face unnerved Ganymede. But, having found Kogoe to be trustworthy and dependable in combat, he had never voiced this nervousness. Motioning toward the end of the street, Ganymede finished, "Alright. Then we'd better go find Io before she gets herself into trouble." Ganymede and Kogoe vanished, leaving the bridge quiet and empty.

There was something oddly fascinating about the way Chiyo walked with her squad down one of the village lanes. No one spoke a word, which slightly disturbed her. Granted, she was sure they were all feeling an air of apprehension, but to see her teammates this silent was too stifling. Even Kaoru managed to shut up in awe at the strange surroundings, sniffing the air, feeling a leaf or two; Li was Li. Chiyo smiled. This place was very different from Sunagakure. Oh, very, very different. For one, there was not a speck of sand littering the ground...

"I'm concluded something," Kaoru said quietly, breaking the silence. Li and Chiyo sent him a questionable stare. He cleared his throat, emerald eyes flashing with a hint of excitement, and continued in a grave voice. "This place absolutely sucks. I hate it. I want to go home."

"But we just got here," Chiyo squeaked. She loved Konoha the moment she stepped into it. It was peaceful, tranquil, and harbored a gentle feeling; she would definitely not mind living here. Those who did were quite fortunate to have never seen a truly ferocious sandstorm, forcing people to barricade themselves in their houses, waiting for it to subside. Even the youngest bore marks of having sand engraved in their skin.

Kaoru shrugged, replying, "Look at this place. Look at all those leaves." He smirked, vainly messing up his black hair to make it even more shaggy and unkempt. "I bet this place has no good ninjas around...which isn't so bad. In a place like this, I don't get how you can even raise them." With that, he let out a haughty laugh, emitting an exasperated sigh from the other teammate.

"You're disgusting," Li murmured, steely eyes fixated on the ground, clearly bent on ignoring all that distracted him. He was probably the oddest of the two; full of pessimism, satire, and a master of deception in his own right, he clearly surpassed them all in terms of power. A reason for Kaoru's resentment and Chiyo's admiration. And a reason for annoying people in general. Kaoru stuck out his tongue, clearly determined on defending his pride.

"L-Let's try exploring Konoha's shops," Chiyo suggested tentatively, looking wistfully at the stores of sweets and goods. Li didn't give any reaction and Kaoru shrugged nonchalantly.

"Not like they have anything worth looking at," he said absently, but the three started walking, nevertheless.
 
Jin moved his fingers at an incredible speed, and many people around us watched him oddly, that is, the people who had enough time to pause and stare, as if he were about to perform a jutsu, but instead, I knew he was simply trying to speak. Ryota watched him with a bored eye, though he was more interested in the exotic shops and stores that surrounded us. I tore my gaze away from the angry words Jin were forming, and told Ryota quietly that me and Jin were going back to the hotel. Ryota blinked and sighed, shrugging as he said, "Just don't get in any fights. We don't want anyone to see how we fight before the exams. Training is good too, but don't let anyone see you." Jin stared at Ryota for me, questioning him with his eyes: "What are you going to do?"

Ryota grinned and added, "I'm gonna take a look around at these shops!"

I glanced at Jin, who shrugged, and showed me two chakra strings extending from his fingers, that Ryota had been too oblivious to notice. The hustle and bustle of this marketplace could do something like that to someone, I suppose. But, Ryota failed to notice Jin snatch the sack of money from his belt, and before Jin started to laugh in his eerie wheezy, airy, and breathy laugh that signaled his lack of vocal chords all the more, I dragged him away, to a less busy spot in the marketplace. I saw Jin slide three coins into his sleeve, and knew that Ryota would never notice. But, right afterward, I noticed foreign genin's. It wasn't as though I could see them, but their chakra differed from all these other Konoha Shinobi. The loud Konohagakure Shinobi. Jin noticed this right away, and listening intently, I heard his raspy breath speed up, I heard two 'snaps' and pulled on Jin's arm. He took a step forward and I dragged him away forcefully. He'd obviously forgotten all about Ryota's order's. Jin didn't protest, in fact, he followed me like a ragdoll all the way to the room we shared with Ryota. He only started to protest when I started to remove his forehead protector.

He squirmed and screamed in a raspy breath, but being an expert on this by now, I snatched his forehead protector off and saw two of the bloody seams of thread sealing his mouth shut had snapped. The first time half of them had snapped was when we'd first met each other, and by now, I was paranoid about his mouth. The raspy sounds bothered me, and I instantly sealed the open mouth shut with clean thread. Jin calmed, the raspy yelling and screaming disappearing as he blinked at me in thanks. I wiped off a streak of blood and yellow infected pus on a white towel, nodding in reply. Jin sat still and silent for the rest of the hour as I cleaned and picked up after the crazy ordeal.
 
I growled as I hopped from roof to roof, slowly settling on the street, ignoring the looks I got from the chains. Right when I needed them, my squad had seemed to dissapear. I was going to have to get out of this on my own. I slowly began to focus my chakra. Sometimes I envied people hwo could control it with a simple set of hand motions, but at times like this, it was good not to have to rely on your hands.

Slowly, my energy began to focus, drawing down from my head and upper body, and up from my legs. Slowly, it all began to center in my upper torso and arms, and I began to focus on burning that chakra, building up the energy... I began to fight the chain, trying to pull my arms apart, slowly looking over the binding metal, until I saw one in paticular near my left atm. That one could be snaped, and I could unwind my way out from there...

Slowly, I began moving the already burning energy, focusing on my left arm and the left side of my torso. Sure enough, the chain began to groan, but my rib was bending as well, my elbow warping from the strain. However, all that energy had to go somewhere, and bones were slightly more flexible than the chain. The paticular area in question snapped, and I grinned, letting my chakra flow return to normal. That was exhausting, but also a good workout.

I shifted my shoulders idly to get the chainst started falling away from me, sitll ignoring the looks of the people on the street. Now I was hungry... I should probably look for a resturant, Mom had been obsessed about training for the exam. I was confident though, especially with my new summoning technique.
 
OOC: Okay, for the sake of keeping this RP alive, it'll be one day ahead of the Exam. I hope this doesn't screw up any plans if you had any, but I'd like this to stay alive. ^^; (Unlike the case with most of my RP's.)

Also, the Exam's second part has been worked out, but...er...I'm having issue's with the first part. Why? Well, as I told Shiney, this RP should probably be called, 'Exam of the Handicapped' instead of 'Exam of Tails', because...well...We have quite a few handicapped people. x_x;;;; Not that it's a bad thing, it just mean's I can't rip off Naruto's anime because my character can't er...see...and I can't do the bell test I was thinking of because Shiney's character is deaf. x_x

So I'm having super issue's here. xD If anyone has any idea's of a test that will include both pressure, trickery, stealth, and mental brain power, PM me, because the RP master is an idiot. xDD And doesn't have the power to comprehend these things. xD Thanks~!

Anyhow, so we'll speed up time, and it's currently evening, and I'd like your next post's (Unless you haven't made you first post yet, but I don't think anyone's not made their first post yet,) to be the last one's describing the night before the Exam's. Sorry about the inconvenience, it's just, a week could very well take up a good 4 page's of an RP, and, I don't think we can get that far on simple nonsense. xD If you have any question's, feel free to PM me.

My post will come tomorrow after school, as it's past my bedtime. ;_; Have fuuun~
 
"Akino... can you please tell us why you wanted to sleep outside of the village instead of in a nice hotel or something INSIDE the village?" Saya barked at me from across the open flame before me. Arew was aware that an argument was about to take place, so he shuffled away from his portion of the fire towards the bag containing our dinner.

"Why? Honestly, I'm ashamed of you Saya." I replied sarcastically. "I did it to keep your beautiful self away from all of the boys in the village." I was obviously using sarcasm in order to anger her. Of course, she was immature enough to fall for it. I had been with these two long enough to know their strengths and weaknesses.

"What was that sarcasm for!?" She screamed back, whipping a rock at me. I caught the rock in my hand, and threw it straight into the ground. If that had made contact where it was supposed to at that terrifying speed, it would knock me out, cold, or worse.

"Would you two calm down already? Lets just eat and go to sleep. The sun is setting and the first day of the exams is tomorrow." Arew sighed as he sat back down at the fire, handing us out cups of ramen. "Although we wouldn't be eating cupped ramen if we ate in the villa-"

I glared at Arew out of my right eye. "Shut up, shut up! I have my reasons for wanting to sleep out here!"

"Your fear of crowds acting up again?" Arew laughed.

"N-n-no!"

Yup. My partners thought to themselves simultaneously.
 
"That was great!" Ryota grinned and stretched, tossing himself backwards on the bed he shared with a disgruntled Jin, who had told me he'd be sleeping outside instead, "This place rocks! The people are friendly, they don't glare death at me when I ask prices, and they're great for bartering! I couldn't buy anything, I must've left my money back here. But! I did get a few snacks for free." Jin snapped his fingers in disappointment. It was his way of saying, 'Darn'. This is the one thing Ryota knew in Jin's language and Ryota glared death at him, just like the shopkeepers in Otogakure. Jin held up the leather sack of Ryota's money, and tossed it at him, giving his explanation in sign language. I nodded, and folded my arms, as if approving of his explanation. Ryota narrowed an eye at me, then Jin, before shrugging and continuing his story.

"Anyway, so I think it's kind of weird, but there are a lot of shinobi in Konoha. Like, everyone's a shinobi. There are so few shopkeeper's who's jobs are...shopkeeping!" Ryota said, waving his arms. This caught me and Jin's attention, and Ryota continued in full blast, having finally gotten the attention of his team for the first time since they'd first met, since the time when Nagasi-sensei had used an old-fashioned metal ox brand that was glowing hot orange on his butt to shut him up.

"Yeah, I swear I only met like, one person who wasn't a shinobi." He said. Me and Jin turned our heads in disinterest. Ryota deflated, "You guys are impossible! Leader or not, I always feel like the third wheel!" Jin moved his fingers at lightning speed, 'Who decided he was leader?' and, 'Of course he's the third wheel, it's because he's an ignorant person who refuses to learn sign-language, therefore, can't effectively work with the team member who does all the dirty work.' I smiled and nodded pleasantly. Ryota gave us another glare and bade us goodnight, turning off all the light's and plunging me and Jin into darkness. Well, more like Jin, considering I'd been apart of complete black since as long as I could remember, but Jin simply wrenched all the blankets off of Ryota and escorted himself outside, closing the door and tightly wrapping the blanket's around himself so that Ryota wouldn't be able to pull them off.

I laughed, and heard Ryota grumble, but I sat where I was for awhile longer, anticipating tomorrow- the Chuunin Exams.

OOC: ARG. Peoplez need to post! >.< Cept David, who's already done his last post- and Shiney who's really only posted so long ago. But everyone else needs to post. I'd rather not kick everyone in this RP out.
 
[OOC: After I developed the concept of this post, I realized it somewhat resembled an episode of Naruto. I grant full assurance the resemblance was not intentional.]

"Come on, Ganymeeeeede," Io whined in a high whisper, tugging on the taller ninja's sleeve in an attempt to drag him to the door of the hotel room the team shared.

"I said 'no'," Ganymede insisted, pulling himself free of her grasp, the expression in his purple eyes revealing slight irritation as he looked down at her. "Kogoe made it clear he wanted to be alone. And it isn't really right for us to spy on our own teammate, is it?"

"It's not right for teammates to hide things from each other either," the kunoichi retorted readily before craftily adding, "Besides, I know you want to see beneath his mask as much as anyone else." Grasping Ganymede's wrist, Io did not wait for a reply as she tugged him to the slightly-open door with strength unexpected by her small stature. Pressing her face against the door-jamb with one eye aligned at the crack between door and frame, the female ninja proceeded to ignore Ganymede's low-voiced protests to her actions as he moved across the hall. Suddenly, Io's eye widened as she murmured to her companion, "He picked up the dinner I left for him. I think he's going to eat it."

Despite all he had said earlier, Ganymede was instantly drawn a few paces closer to the room door. He listened in intent silence as Io continued to narrarate, "Kogoe broke the chopsticks, but now he's pausing for some reason. I think he's doing something with his hands . . . Is he taking his mask off?" Ganymede froze. "No--he's performing handsigns," the girl whispered. "Maybe he knows w--eh?!" Io's voice lifted a note before she fell silent is disbelief and disappointment. A pout etched upon her features, Io stood and began to stalk down the hall.

Ganymede cast only a brief glance toward the room as he began to follow Io, questioning her, "Where are you going? What happened?"

"I'm going to go train," she responded, her lack of satisfaction as clear in her tone as an unsheathed kunai. "As for what happened, go see for yourself." She vanished in a cloud of smoke.

Sighing at Io's sudden change of mood, Ganymede strode back to the room at a more leisurely pace. Then, leaning casually toward the slit that would permit him to see what Io had seen, the shinobi stifle a second sigh. What is it with my teammates? Why did I get stuck with such bizarre people . . . Ganymede strolled back down the hall while turning his gaze musingly toward the low ceiling above. I mean, who in their right mind raises a shield around themselves just to eat?
 
I walked silently along the side of my teammates. I mentally noted that the rock used to make the road was fairly old. I turned to look at my teammates as they talked between one another. Ugh, how I loathed their so called "togetherness." I focused on the female with blond hair and blue eyes. Her name is Shigeko, and I really think it suits her. Her name means luxuriant. That is exactly what she is. And Isuma, about as intelligent as a genius, and he is courageous; a warrior.

My eyes fixed my eyes on Shigeko. Her hair is shiny and soft-looking because of the expensive shampoo she uses. I held up a strand of my own hair. Chesnut brown . . . but it looked fairly soft and shiny. I looked over at Shigeko again and caught her attention. "What do you want!" she asked with a fairly annoyed tone. I didn't reply. I simply glared at her for a second before turning away. This was too much. They're already driving me crazy. I looked up at the sky. There wasn't a cloud to be seen in the sky. I hated when it was like this.

I rubbed my temples as Isuma continued to talk about nothing and everything at the same time. I don't think he minded that he was only talking to hear himself talk. Perhaps he didn't notice that he was. Either way, I really wished he would shut up. I walked the streets silently along my teammates. They began to make idle chitchat with one another, and I soon lost interest in them. I pulled a book out of my kunai patch and began to concentrate deeply on the words written on the page. "Hey, Nanashi! Listen to me when I'm talking to you!"

"Huh?"

"Kuso! I said we should look for a hotel!"

"I agree . . ." She smiled as we finally agreed on something. I, of course, had the pleasure of finding a hotel. I spotted an akuba. I gulped as I walked up to her. This would be the first time in a long time that I had to socialize with some one out of our village that was not an enemy. "Konichiwa . . ."

"Konichiwa!" she said rather cheerfully. I took a second look at her. She was really short; only about 5'1". I looked at her face and noticed that she had a lot of wrinkles. I tried to avoid eye contact, but I couldn't help myself. I could see such kindness and warmth.

"Gomen, akuba . . . do you know where I can find the nearest hotel?"

"Of course! It's about four blocks from here. You'll know it when you see it," she answered with a smile. I gave an awkward smile and quickly thanked her. I liked that. She was kind to me, but I don't think I was ready for that yet. I mean . . . I wasn't used to that. It was awkward, and I almost didn't like it. I found Shigeko and Isuma standing in front of the hotel.

"Hey! Nanashi! We found a hotel! Isn't that great!" Isuma shouted excitedly. My left eyebrow began to twitch. Shigeko laughed at me. She knew what I was thinking. I had to go through all that when the found the hotel! I resisted the urge to strangle them as I pushed past them.

"Hurry up. We better get our rooms." That was all I said. I needed to keep my calm demeanor. Shigeko smirked as she and Isuma walked into the hotel with me. I glared at Shigeko as I pulled out my wallet. I had to pay for the rooms! Shigeko said that she wanted all of us to have separate rooms. She also said she wanted her room under her name. I forcefully smiled as I tried to keep from yelling. I retreated to my room as soon as soon as the other two had left. I was really tired for some reason. I closed my eyes and quickly fell into a restless sleep. For now - all of us were anticipating on thing; the Chuunin Exams.

OOC: Sorry, but moving rooms while expected to do four hours of study a day is a Witch with a capital B.

Sparks flew as the metal Palm-guard hit Mom's heavy bladed scimitar, stopping it's arc towards my head. She only grinned, spinning it again, her pigtail sent flying straight out from her neck with her speed as she spun, bringing the blade around to attack from the other side. There was too much momentum this time... I stepped back, striking at the blade's side lightly with the metal guard to throw off her balance as I stepped forward to strike.

Rather than trying to retain her balance, she let the blade fly out of her hand, and intercepted my strike for her ribs, flinging me past her. I landed, looking around just in time to notice a cloud of shuriken heading for me. I grimaced, and flung myself away, rolling on the dirt as they perforated my earlier vicinity. "I thought this was supposed to be a free-for-all?" I said, standing up to stare coolly at the white clad Ninja. Ythis shrugged, and I read him saying "But teaming up on you is much more fun." I spun, knowing that those two worked in perfect timing...

As I spun, the ridges of palm-guard caught Ryouma in the face, stunning him, giving me just enough time to jump away before he rammed the wall I had been standing near. That's when a Wooden Bo Staff cracked me on the back of the head. I stumbled away, reeling from my mothers blow, barely stepping out of the way of a burst of Kunai.

"There is no way..." I muttered, ducking behind a tree as my mother tried to deliver a wide swing. I crouched slightly, and then leapt up into the branches. "That I'm going to let you just team up on me!" My mother jumped up towards the branches, leaving the staff behind, but both hand guards flew into her forehead at near terminal velocity. I could practically see the spirals in her eyes as she hit the ground. I quickly began the jutsu, my own fingernails cutting a ridge in my palm that bled freely.

I jumped down from the tree, landing on my mothers stomach as she tried to get up, and sprung away from her as Ryouma charged by. I saw Ythis charging, with what LOOKED like four blades coming out of each of his long sleeves, but that was impossible. I ran forward, and as he swung, I jumped up, springing off of the blades he swung, throwing him off balance as I spun two kunai into my hands. One missed its mark, but the other pinned his sleeve to the tree, giving me more time. Ryouma came by again, this time with his armor-padded belt extended, using his chakra to hold it in shape.

Ryouma could shrug off most pain in most of his body, but he still had nerve clusters... I spun under his slash, slamming my fist under his arm. He grunted, stiffening slightly,. and I struck the other two pressure points n his arm as I continued my weave behind him, finally kicking him at a crucial spot on his back. I saw my mother already on her feet as ryouma fell, but Ythis was still tugging on his sleeve. Good. I spun over in a flip, intending to bring my heel down on her head, but she caught my ankle, causing minor whiplash as my spine overextended, and then slammed me onto the ground. "I think that's enough. You need to save that technique for a tight spot in the exam tomorrow." She said. Unfortunately, she I had hit the ground a lot harder than she intended. "Uguu..." I said, dazed and only semi-concscious.
 
(( I'd just like to ask is this RP still open for new roleplayers? ))
 
OOC: Go right ahead! Now, we'll wait for the last few RPer's to start, and I'll start the Exam.
 
(( I just wished to ask one thing, firstly the Bijou of my character is a slightly made up one but, still comes into some storyline, and my character lives in Konoha but is originally from the Village Hidden Within The Rocks, is that okay or? ))
 
OOC: The Biju (no 'O', that's my name, not the Biju's ^^; ) has to be the species in which is specified from Wiki. It's a japanese thing. And, as long as you weren't born in Konoha, then that's fine. But your Biju has to be a Biju I've specified, and is available.
 
(( Aww, its just my character's sorry about that I thought the 'O' wasn't part of it, is based on the two Japanese Wolves "Hokkaido Wolf" and "Honshū Wolf", so thats why I asked... ))
