[cell][color=#87CEEB][b]"My apologies, Mori-san. It is dangerous to kick so close to me for someone like you."[/b][/color]

Misaki's eyes glowered at Hiro's cold calm expression with its opposite, blinding inarticulate fury. Except for the shaking, she couldn't move. The most she could accomplish was a snarl from the effort. Come on! Get up! Get up! Her mind screamed at her body, but it would not listen and her voice caught in her throat. She hadn't realized she wasn't breathing and the sound that came out was hoarse and haggard. She tried to yell, she tried to move, she willed her lips to move, willed her lungs to just... pump air. MOVE! COME ON!!! Her leg moved, but it couldn't support her weight and she fell before she had even reached a squat.

Her legs... her weapons... her wings... He'd broken her in a single blow. He did not even see her rage. He had not even looked at her at all. She couldn't imagine hating anyone more.

And the worst part of it was Jin, jumping out of nowhere, a final indignity. F-fight on her behalf?!? JIN?!? Like she was some helpless girl all over again, like she was just... a piece of garbage-Just back in and out of hospitals, sick and afraid. How [i]dare[/i] he take her defeat from her! 

[i]'I'll kill you! I'll KILL you!'[/i], she screamed in her mind but [color=orchid][b]"Rrragh![/b][/color], is all she managed to choke out with the fury and effort pushing tears out of her eyes. Hiro didn't even look. His hand remained held out for her, if she could even raise her hand to meet his. Was this it? Was all her training for nothing?

[color=#50C878][b]"That will be quite enough"[/b][/color], said a very manly voice. Misaki tried to turn her head to look and... she saw that the voice had come from... c-come from

an enormous duck with billowy head feathers! What was this?!? Th-that couldn't be their jounin! Was this some kind of joke?!?

[color=#50C878][b]"If you are to be a team, it's time you began acting like one. Fall in"[/b][/color], it continued. It was now that Misaki noticed the man sleeping on the creature's back. He was wearing a strange red robe and holding a giant mallet, which, despite its immense size, he only gripped loosely and lazily. It couldn't be as heavy as it looked if he was holding it so casually in his sleep. It was some trick. He was awake. He was just pretending to be asleep. Misaki relaxed her neck back to looking at Hiro's feet and then slowly back up towards his face. He was looking at the duck. He bowed and said, [color=#87CEEB][b]"Welcome. Are you or that man Kamoji-sensei?"[/b][/color]

The duck lowered its head and waddled over to the small nearby pond where it then dumped the man on his back into the water and hung his duckly head in shame. The man with the hammer splashed around and made noises that seemed more appropriate for the giant duck to have made. By the time he had hopped out of the pond, he seemed to have regained a kind of ease, as if he'd fallen in the pond intentionally. His laziness seemed to infect the way he walked too; it was something between a salesman's swagger and a drunkard's stagger and you could describe the smile on his face the same way.

[color=#EEE8AA][b]"Hey kids, I'm Kamoji, your sensei! And uh... this is your first day as real ninja, huh?"[/b][/color]

He looked the three of them over. Hiro was giving the strange man with the hammer his full attention. Jin had ventured closer, fireworks spiraling out of control behind him, one barely missing his head. Misaki still sat right on her butt and shook angrily. Her breathing was a little more regular again, but she didn't hazard to stand. When she tried, she felt nauseous and she still couldn't stop shaking. Well, apparently the hammer man took note of her miserable state because he was waddling right over to her. What else could go wrong?

[color=#EEE8AA][b]"You must be Miiiisomething. Your name's too long, I'm gonna call you Misa"[/b][/color], he said with a dismissive yawn.

[color=#87CEEB][b]"Sensei, there is an explanation for th-"[/b][/color], Hiro interjected only to be cut off.

[color=#EEE8AA][b]"What kid? I can't hear you. You're talking too stupid. Looks like a Hyuuga did this. Don't know where that wrongdoer may have gotten to, would ya? Didn't think so, now get out of the way so I can put my hands on her while she can't struggle too much"[/b][/color], he said brushing right past the frowning Hyuuga. As the man rounded in on her Misaki's eyes nearly popped out of her head and she desperately tried to force her legs to work... But all she succeeded in doing was falling to her stomach. She tried to worm away.

[color=#E8000D][b]"Y-you can't do that, sensei! It's... It's wrong! Don't make me have to defeat you, and on the first day"[/b][/color], said Jin getting into a fighting stance, [color=#E8000D][b]"For the word of a Kani is as strong as the shell of a crab! UNBREAKABLE!"[/b][/color]

[color=#EEE8AA][b]"Myahmyah"[/b][/color], said the man, [color=#EEE8AA][b]"Jin... Nice and short. Just stay out of the way, short stuff, and let me get on the job already"[/b][/color]

But it was Hiro's hand that went to stop him and with an extended palm, he reached for him, [color=#87CEEB][b]"Sensei, I must insist-"[/b][/color]

But the palm touched nothing. The man was already kneeling by Misaki as she struggled to get away and he wiggled his fingers and laughed before plunging them... right into her back, just below Misaki's shoulder blades.

The feeling was indescribable. It was like she had never had a breath until just that moment. Her back arched and she took a deep breath, her head was so light she could barely keep her eyes from crossing and her mouth just wouldn't close, so good did it feel just to breath! Kamoji sat right on the ground next to her while Misaki writhed about on the ground and said, [color=#EEE8AA][b]"You look loaded, kid. That'll be seventy ryo"[/b][/color]
