Though he hated to admit it, he actually wanted to grasp her hand. To take it into his own. Just hearing his own thoughts sent a rather eerie shiver up his spine. It was like he was under some quick-acting spell. He'd have to shake it off eventually. [b]H[/b]e weakened his grin and nodded once. [color=orange] “[b]R[/b]ight, easy peasy. You got this, Rin.”[/color] he tacked on, offering the blue-haired classmate a thumbs up and confident smile. After all, playing dead was easy. On the days when she actually came to school, she [i]exuded[/i] the feeling of death. [b]P[/b]ulling his signature orange jacket tightly around himself, Giichi shuddered heavily as he tracked through the snow. Even with Megumi-sensei's tail-coat he still felt bare to the cold world. [color=orange] “[b]H-[/b]H-How much further?”[/color] he asked. [hr] [center][img]http://i58.tinypic.com/21e3ij6.jpg[/img] [h2][color=red]Daiki Naito[/color][/h2][/center] [hr] He was ready to strike down the small ninja, to take his head … but luckily he didn't have too. Having Ayame-sensei around was a lot more convenient than he first assumed. He smirked lightly before sealing Anemone back into his scroll. [color=red][i][b]N[/b]ow I see why they both were offended earlier. She's a master when it comes to those senbon. And particularly good with genjutsu too. If I had my Sharingan activated I would have noticed it immediately … I need to find a medium between using it and not using it. Its getting troublesome.[/i][/color] [b]D[/b]aiki felt his attention fall onto Haruka. His words earlier, as usual were diplomatic and too much. He felt like Haruka was the type to attempt to work out a dangerous situation, even if the only option was to fight. It pissed him off really. Only because he knew he could never do such a thing. His first tactic was always to kill first and then figure out the reason for their methods. Now—recently anyway—he'd been getting reminded of his tactless flaw. [b]H[/b]e turned his golden eyes back ahead to listen to Ayame. [b]N[/b]ow all they had to do was wait for the Ronin to show up. After that, they were to commence with the mission. [b]A[/b]yame and the Ronin had a short, disappointing bout. Though he supposed that simply spoke volumes for his captain's skills. When she returned and gave them orders, he looked upon her with a new respect. A, odd and rare trust seemingly laid over him now. Without a word, he leapt off onto a different branch and followed the Ronin from the trees. He kept the rustling to a minimum, finding himself constantly glancing towards the target.
