[sub]Interaction with: Shizuka[@Syn] Oichi & Kazuhiko[@Angel Eyes] Jaakuna [@Altered Tundra] Location: Forest of Death [/sub][/center]


Kiku stared at him, and was a bit perplexed by why this boy wanted to ensure her safety so much. She tapped her foot on the ground, and looked around them and their surroundings - everything was quiet, but she wasn't sensing anyone or anything coming near them.[color=a187be] "I believe Kurin and Jaak will be okay...I just need to do what is best for..."[/color] Kiku murmured, knowing that this wasn't how a cell should approach a situation. They really should all band together, but in  these exams - it was almost every man for himself. Unless you were Shizuka, then it was Cloudy Eyes first.

Nodding as he prompted their leave, she began to follow him away into the forest. Staring at the back of his head, Kiku was deep in thought when suddenly a shift in the atmosphere happened. She could feel a cosmic pressure in the wind to the west, looking to the sky she saw a small figure of a man floating high above. To the East it looked like sharks, and water were emerging. But what was most terrifying to her, was the explosion that took place before them before all the other oddities happened. It took the forest by force, sending a giant wave of air at the two. Kiku's hair wildly flailed around behind her, her jaw dropping in awe of what was unfolding before the two. [color=a187be]"I don't think this is part of the exam....."[/color] Kiku added softly, walking forward she put a hand on Shizuka's shoulder, [color=a187be]"What should we do?"[/color]

She quickly turned her head in the direction of the voice that was calling her partner, her eyes narrowed as she registered the face. Kazhuiko, she fairly remembered him. [color=a187be]"You don't know either?"[/color] She inquired, and put her hand up to her chin as she began to think of what could be happening. Kiku then felt someone touching her legs and flinched, they were still very tender and raw from her embrace with lava. As she was to open her mouth to spit a negative comment, she heard the girl say she was a medical nin and immediately shut her mouth. [color=a187be]"It hasn't been long at all....we just got out of the first part of our exams, and lava splashed on my legs. I've already had a medical nin look at them and heal what they could....if you can do anything to better them...I....I would greatly appreciate it," [/color]She smiled, and then stuck her hand out to meet Oichi's, [color=a187be]"I'm Kiku, and that's Shizuka....we- I left out team and Shizuka came to join me. We were trying to go to the center for that scroll...but..."[/color] Then she motioned to the man with the umbrella, and sharks.

As they stood there, she felt an incoming presence, letting out a click she felt a little at ease. But not entirely, since he'd probably have something to say to the girl as she had just kinda checked out previously. It was then that Jaak fell from the sky, and Kiku was alarmed by his fall from grace. "Are you okay?" She exclaimed over to him as he recovered. It seemed to take him a fraction of a moment to assess the situation. Kiku gave a very weak smile and wave, not prepared for the backlash she may receive. Her attention turned back to the forest, and the sounds reverberating around it. The forest now finally alive with some commotion, just not the kind she wanted.
