[center][b] Last Minute Thoughts and Hopes [/b][/center]

She stood still, her heart beating faster than she thought possible and her ears were ringing. Arashi seemed calm, she sat on the right of Shisen and was carrying Shiro by the scruff of her neck. Even though the young ninken was not participating in the exams, she thought it was a good idea to bring her to watch the matches. Her guardians, the old couple who she lived with, would watch Shiro during her match and keep her calm as well. Her thoughts left the ninken, going back to the name that was called out, the name of her opponent.

[i] Masami Hyuuga[/i]

Shisen thought of Ezuri, who was also a Hyuuga and knew that the small bit of information she had on him would also apply to Masami. Both had the same Kekei Genkai, striking the opposing persons chakra points and stopping the circulation of chakra. There was doubt that her opponent would rely on the Kekei Genkai and would much prefer to fight up close, within striking distance. Most of her offensive jutsu was also tai jutsu, brute force and speed. Taking a deep breath, she looked around and saw the field she would be fighting on, nothing out of the ordinary except the clouds above it. What chakra nature did Masami have? 

Shisen frowned, trying to form a basis of a plan that did not have her so close to her opponent. If possible, could she stay at a distance from Masami? No, she couldn't do that. She needed to be able hit and barrel into her opponent, but still keep the close range fighting to a minimum unless she could eliminate the Kekei Genkai from factoring in. Shisen hoped that she knew enough to make herself noticeable and that maybe her opponent was weaker than Ezuri, although it probably wasn't possible.

The old coule finally showed up, putting a leash on Shiro and taking her to an area where they could safely watch the matches. Leaving both Shisen and Arashi to think more on the soon approaching match. [b]"No turning back now Arash,"[/b] Shisen murmured. Arashi lifted her head and then huffed her agreement, barking a couple times before yawning loudly.
