She kept a stiff, rigid composure as her hand invited him to attempt to fight the girl. This of course, not what she wanted to happen - but her mind also began to flee to the idea of a possible ambush, or run in with any of the other students in the exam. Her mask on, her senses were heightened yet again - she couldn't hear or sense anyone in the immediate area. Except Shizuka was no emitting an aura that made her stomach seem to sink with a decision of regret on her part from pushing him away. Her hand was now quivering as she was feeding off his emotion. Her jaw was clenched tight as he began to walk towards her, [color=bc8dbf]"Shizuka - I'm not joking with you..."[/color] She grumbled, knowing that he was one to not exactly take people seriously all of the time. But she let him encounter her space one more time, and this time her mind went blank. He swiftly grabbed her hands, though she could've easily pulled away and fought back. She didn't. No thoughts exactly entered, and no thoughts formed - just shock and surprise met her. As did his warm lips. Her arms were limp in his hands, but she broke them free and they moved up his back to the back of his head. Her fingers entangled in his short deep brown locks, her senses all pulsating in this moment. The kiss broke, and she pulled back, pulling her mask down and her eyes meeting his, [color=bc8dbf]"You caught me off guard is all..."[/color] Kiku stated bluntly, her cheeks tinging shades below his eyes. His ruby eyes pierced her waning lavender ones, and there was silence in between them for a moment. Kiku hadn't cared for the idea of love, though her parents had a great marriage - she just wasn't intrigued. The idea of becoming a great blind ninja is what drove her, she rarely cared to look to a man's face for any form of comfort. But his brought her some without even trying. She walked back up to him, her hands rising again - he possibly though it would be to his face again. But, alas, her hands stopped at his jacket and she gripped it tight in her fists and shook him [color=a187be]"Don't ever surprise me like that again!" [/color]She let him go with a small push, and crossing her arms - as a weird feeling filled the air. Something felt off though, like they were being watched. She placed her mask back on, and began to sense when it felt like she tapped into a new part of herself. The world around her became alive, and more vibrant than before - she inhaled sharply at this new untapped jutsu that seemed to just expose herself. [color=a187be]"There is a team near..."[/color] She murmured, and ended her sensing, realizing the amount of chakra it was pulling. She lifted her mask up to him, and looked back [color=a187be]"We should just leave, the wisesr choice for me is getting a scroll that requires minimal effort" [/color]She motioned to her bandaged legs, and turned away from him, before heading off she looked back [color=a187be]"You're a decent kisser..."[/color] Though she had nobody to compare him too, and then motioned for him to come with her and leave their former teammates behind.
