Kasumi glanced over at Kota when he declared that he would show her what he could do. [i]Typical showoff...[/i] It was all she could do not to roll her eyes. In the back of her mind, though, she was impressed as he showed her. They had both grown quite a bit from the old Academy days, well before they were even genin. It seemed that Kota had subdued one of the other shinobi rather easily, standing proudly before her and the rest of the team. [color=red]"I told you, I'm a he-"[/color] She gasped with concern as he was sent flying, though it seemed to have not wounded him, thankfully. If it had been any other situation, she probably would have burst out in laughter at him, but this was too serious. Instead, her lips twitched rapidly, obviously trying to [i]not[/i] laugh. She would have to tease him about it later - once they were safe. 

Kasumi kept playing, moving when she needed to, but she was slowing down. Not only that, she had let Kota's display distract her. She ended up with a kunai in her playing arm, having to switch hands. She could still play with her other arm, but it wasn't nearly as effective. She had little experience in flowing chakra through that arm - but she needed to learn, fast. She could sing if things came down to it, but she really preferred not to. That was when Sutemasu jumped in front of them. [color=pink][b]“We can't win this, guys. We need to retreat. Go now, I'll buy you time!”[/b][/color]

Kasumi detected the wink, unsure if the others would or not. She stood her ground. She winced as Sutemasu was struck with the kunai, wondering what was going on. [i]Why take a hit...?[/i] She left the thought behind as she saw the tiger seal by her sensei being formed. She focused her chakra into playing a few more notes of her chakra enhancing music, despite her growing exhaustion. Whatever ability her sensei was about to use would be, at the very least, a little better than it would have been without her. The resulting blast blew all four shinobi back fairly violently, sending two in front of the team of chunin. 

Kasumi leapt back, despite the weakened state of the enemy. She was not a close range fighter. She glanced to her teammates, hand on her strings, playing a few more notes like she had for Sutemasu. Whatever they had or needed to finish these guys off, their chakra would be enhanced at the cost of her own. It was more than worth it. She had no need to pull out her only offensive jutsu at this point. It was too chakra intensive for something like this and would definitely be considered overboard at this point. There didn't seem to be a need to kill these shinobi.
