Kirugetsu watched the two kids tangle and duke it out. They were spirited, that was for sure. Hell, it seemed like they might have even been trying to kill one another. Granted, this display of fervor was after a huge show of hesitation on the part of Maruki Hyuga. However, they did as they were told, fought hard, and even showed they could think on the fly... to some extent. By the time the fight was over, the Inuzuka girl lay passed out with her ever-present mongrel hovering over her, and the Hyuga boy followed suit shortly after. [B]"Man... I have my work cut out for me on this one. Why can't I go back to my gifted team from Ame? Shit. Whatever... past is past. Now to get these two up."[/B] The Hozuki then reached to his side and unclipped a medium-sized water bottle from his hip.

Unscrewing to lid/straw, Kirugetsu then used a tiny amount of chakra to activate the water seal inside the bottle. With his drink container now filled to the brim, he waltzed over to Maruki. [B]"Wake up, you little inbred bastard."[/B] The entire contents of the bottle were then hurled into the boy's face, going up his nose, in his hair, and maybe even a bit in his ears. Not waiting for the Hyuga kid to get to his feet, Kirugetsu re-charged the seal and refilled the bottle on his way over to Shisen. With his free hand, he drew his sword... an unspoken warning to the dog that if it attacked, so would he. [B]"Rise and shine and lollipops and all that garbage."[/B] ... again, the bottle's contents were splashed onto the face of an unconscious Genin. Knowing the effects of the Hyuga's Gentle Fist, the girl would be in a fair amount of pain upon waking, as nearly three dozen of her chakra points were temporarily blocked.

[B]"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."[/B] said Kirugetsu as he paced back and forth in thought. [B]"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?"[/B] Sure, he might have been callous or vulgar or even a bit aggravating... but Kirugetsu really was a good all-around guy. He just had odd ways of showing it. ... and with all said and done, he began walking away from the field and toward the nearest medical station, motioning for the pair to follow.
