Hime repaid the eager Kyoka's affection with another cuddle and even giggled a little at her offer of a favour or meal no matter what. [color=b0e0e6]"You're too kind, Kyo-Kyo!"[/color] She chimed before parting the embrace and picking her scroll out to keep a firm grip on it, instinctively keeping it within her grasp juuuuuuust in case there was an attempt at some sleight of hand from the acidic cousin.

[color=b0e0e6]"I wasn't born yesterday, Rumi, after that easy test you want an even easier one? There's no fun in that at all! Tash and I will run off into the forest, together or separate, and we'll do this properly. It wouldn't be much of a trial if I just gave you the scroll, besides I said almost the same thing as Kyo-Kyo during the start of the test, but no one gave it a chance then, so I put a lot of effort into the thinking side of things too."[/color] Hime beamed with some pride and gestured to Tashiro. [color=b0e0e6]"Get running, we've gotta try and pass as well, you know!"[/color]

As the Hokage declared the test to begin, Hime's fairy wings popped into being again as she took hold of Tashiro's hand to pull him along. [color=b0e0e6]"See you in the forest, Rumi, Kyo-Kyo! Good luck! C'mon Tash! Run, run, run!"[/color] She once again chimed before she took off towards the forest, going as fast as the little wings and defiance of gravity would let her go.

Finally, victory over the fish-man was assured as they managed to finish him off completely and relinquish the scroll from him, just for the group to be whisked into a whirlpool that unceremoniously dumped them all onto the ground in the outskirts of the Forest of Death where some medical nin and Shinko were waiting for them.

Being the only one actually conscious, the young kunoichi found herself coughing and spluttering and taking in every breath she could physically muster as they were given the sweet freedom of not drowning once again. She almost didn't believe that they were actually free of the trial yet, but all evidence argued that they were indeed onto the next stage.... And Koma was tired, drained and more or less in no good state to continue, then there were the other team mates that she had to worry about, waving off the medical-nin to handle those two before she would see treatment.

Where was their third? They hadn't died too, right? There was a fox that was coming round to consciousness now that sounded a lot like their third team member but it couldn't be them... Right? But she felt that there was something familiar about the fox and it's voice, as well as it's general demeanour. [color=deb887]"Huh? Oh! Y-Yeah, they switched places with their summon before we got pulled out of the trial, they're probably already in the forest, they said that's where their summon tended to live. You should probably let it swap places with them again."[/color] She began to explain as she looked at the fox, then at the medical-nin, one of them starting to treat her rather superficial, yet still heavily bleeding, wounds.

If she wasn't so mentally exhausted from almost dying several times, she would've been quite embarrassed about being so exposed whilst being treated.

Then she looked at Kaba, the barrier nin she'd worked with, as he was being brought back from the brink... Surely, there was no way he was going to be in a good enough shape to compete for these scrolls, so she would tuck her scroll into his possession with his other one and steadily struggle up to her feet and begin to assess her situation.

No longer in possession of a scroll, a few smoke bombs and just enough chakra to set off her genjutsu once or twice. Well, it wasn't like she was in a good enough shape to continue to fight, and she had to repair her cloak. [color=deb887]"Please take him through the exit, I don't think I'm able to continue with my current state either, so I'm withdrawing here."[/color]
