Isami's current situation wasn't looking to bright. No matter how big her steps were, she couldn't shake that churning feeling in her stomach off. As the seconds ticked by, Takeo's chakra seemed to draw closer. It would have made sense if he had caught up to Isami by now, but she could sense him chasing his squad at an unusually moderate pace. Just what were these man's intentions?

Peeking over her shoulder, Isami spotted Kohaku in the distance. Breathing a sigh of relief, she continued to run towards the lake. The least she wanted was to see her teammate being slapped into the ground on her first day as a Genin. Reaching the edge of the lake, Isami came across the large tree that had toppled over the water.

[i]Bingo[/i].

Well, looks like there was no need to stretch her hair across to the other side. Isami slowed herself down just so she had more control and balance over herself. Getting soaked while the others ran ahead wasn't exactly her idea of 'fun' either. As long as she remained calm and composed, she was less likely to falter in the face of her enemy. This went back to her previous question though. What were her sensei's intentions? What was the purpose of letting that giant earth wall fall on them? And to be honest, why hadn't Takeo caught up to Isami already? She wasn't really the fastest of people, and knowing that her sensei was lurking behind made her stomach twist up even more.

Thankfully, Isami had made it to safety on the other side along with Kohaku following nehind. Soon enough, Takeo neared the lake's edge just a few moments later.

Whoosh.

Swivelling her head around, Isami's large eyes followed the direction of Keita's shuriken as they hurtled towards Takeo on the other side. What was her teammate planning on doing?

[color=808080]"Um, Keita-san, what… what are you doing?"[/color]

Looking up, Isami waited patiently for an answer. Maybe he was trying to hold him back perhaps? It did make a [i]little[/i] bit of sense, though. Takeo had almost flattened Kohaku back there, so maybe he was just waiting for one of his Genin to attack. If that was the case (which, in Isami's eyes, seemed unlikely), then Isami was going to have to put on a show too. 

If she was going to go down, she might as well do it in style.
