Water and Fire, at the same time? Was that even possible? His face felt wet but his armed burned as well. He heard some faint sounds in the distance? Was someone calling his name. Maruki tried to clench his fist but because of the pain he clenched his teeth instead. He felt a little sting at his ear. Then a bark, Arashi. Slow but steady Maruki became conscious of his surroundings. He coughed up water that ran up his nose. Water dripped out of his ears. He tried to sit up but could not use his arms to help him with that. Using solely his abdominals he sits up. Arashi shook his arms biting it. "Hey! Let go! I didn't hurt you as bad as I could have!" Glaring darters at Arashi she backed off at least a little bit, with a snarl that was. Finally up and come to his senses Maruki looks at his arms that burned as hell, one arm had a huge but superficial cut in it, as well as some recent bite marks, his other arms was more severely injured, being soaked in blood and impaled at both sides, he could not even move them. Kiru, seeing the both of them were awake spoke up: "Well... that wasn't bad. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. You both fought hard, used your abilities well enough, and even tried to adapt to injuries as you took them. I guess you pass. I'd hate to send you back to the academy anyways. So how about we go get these injuries tended to. Then I'll get us lunch again, to celebrate. Sound good?" Listening to his sensei he could not help but laugh a little grim. "well, at least we passed, and lunch sounds good to be honest... Konoha hospital first also seems like a good idea too"
