[h1][s]Kiku[/s][/h1][/center]

She listened to her teammates, and felt out the emotion in the room. Shizuka was being firm, Jaakuna was agreeing. Kurin was on the same side as Kiku - she could feel tension in the room heighten. She clutched her hands into tight fists, trying to combat the feeling of anxiety. Shielding her head, she moved her arms up over her head as smaller pebbles began to rain down. Kiku began to open her mouth again, ready to debate with Shizuka. She heard it first, and felt it last. The tremors abruptly stopped, she turned her head to the hourglass - it had stopped. 

It seemed a lot happened in the few moments that Shizuka shone brightly as having the correct mindset for this obstacle. She was concerned about the sounds, and sudden loud thuds. Crouching down and preparing herself for a quick get-away if need be, where to she didn't know - would just fuse chakra to her feet and probably stand on the wall. But that would be a feeble attempt if this place was going to collapse, her heart nearly skipped a beat until everything just stopped. Perking back up, she [I]looked[/I] around the room physical [color=a187be]"What?"[/color] She spun around in a circle, still turning her head towards everything. Confused as to what was going on. The sprouting of the broken mechanism actually caused her to jump, she wasn't expecting it - there was so many other things going on sensory wises she had dropped her guard for a moment. She inhaled deeply, and exhaled a sweet breath of relief as nothing continued happen.The poor Kunoichi was now disgruntled at being wrong - only slightly though. She usually led with logic and reason during these trials and tribulations in her life, and liked facts over emotion based initiative. 

But she didn't exactly notice that the light had all but disappeared - still in her own dark and confused world. Suddenly a shrill voice broke through her ears, and she almost smacked her hands over them. Then realized it was Jaakuna and almost laughed at his sudden revelation. A little tense at the sudden silence that filled the room - she heard Kurin's praise and gave a thumbs up in his general direction. [color=a187be]"Well, it worked..."[/color]  Kiku responded to Jaakuna's comment taking one of for the team. But what happened next left her a bit more disgruntled - she felt him walk up next to her, and he gracefully came close again to the Kunoichi whispering in her ear. She was now currently shooting daggers through her mask, to her  [color=a187be]"May? Hmph, no its happening - after the exams,"[/color] Stating firmly, and placing her hands on her hips and leaning forward her rather ridiculous amount of hair spilling over her body as she did so - she then stuck her tongue out childishly. Not sure how to manifest the current whirlwind of emotions inside of her. Kiku was very confused by this boy's deamenor and aura, he was constantly a pleasant one - even when taking jabs at her eyes. She couldn't sense an ounce of negativity when he spoke -so reacting was rather difficult for her. Kiku began to follow her teammates, staying in the back - as she sent chakra to her senses, it suddenly illuminated vastly. She realized it Shizuka's doing, and went to say 'thank you,' but the moment of irritation wouldn't allow it for the time being. [color=a187be]"I'm not sure where this is going...its either very long - or opens up in a very large room,"[/color] She added after a moment, not sensing anything coming back to her after a few clicks.
