[cell]Whatever it was that blew a hole in that tree was just a warning shot and Nijira had no answer for it. So, it looked like sensei was playing hard... at least he wanted them to think he was. That was the only explanation for it! Fine, then! If that was the way that he wanted to play it, then... Then he'd better be ready to kill, because Jira wasn't going to stop, just because sensei was obviously stronger than him. If he did, he might just as well die, anyway! He growled and began to strafe the woods. He knew where sensei was. He could smell him, and it looked like he wasn't doing anything to hide that.

Komi followed along and whined a little, drawing Jira's attention back to his teammates.

[color=#FFA812][b]"Keh! If they want to go rushing into the forest, who cares? Sensei's gonna take them out anyway"[/b][/color], he said coldly. Komi didn't seem to like this response very much and rooed at him sadly about it.

[color=#FFA812][b]"I-it's not my problem! [i]They're[/i] the ones that decided not to follow their only tracker"[/b][/color], he replied a little more pleadingly than he meant. Komi gave two quiet barks and held his face away, as if they were playing tug of war, which they were, in a way. But there wasn't time for the two of them to settle the argument. A strange sound caught their attention and both at once perceived at that it was an echoing coming from the ground, from their footsteps perhaps... Jira tapped the ground with his foot and Komi scratched at it, puzzled. It was as if... the ground itself were... h-hollow and hard... And then they heard other echoes, farther away... coming from... They were centered around just where sensei was and... Th-that sound was like metal against rock! DAMN!

Eyes wide and teeth grit, he and Komi barreled towards the forest, to where he smelled Naruko's ramen breath and Gorudo's swampy smell. He knew Naruko must have made clones, because the pungent smell of instant ramen was everywhere and he could hear her tromping around the forest, as quiet as an elephant, but he also knew that she wasn't about to leave Gorudo's side any time soon. Jira'd seen them at school together and Jira, like everyone, just assumed they were dating. It was just his luck he got stuck with the smelliest couple in school. He supposed it was good luck, at the moment. They were so easy to track, he could have found them with his eyes closed!

He was running as fast as he could, but he could already hear the sound of metal whizzing past and more clanking against the ground. As soon as they were in sight, Jira threw his whole body against Naruko and Komi attempted the same to Gorudo. If they could just get them to the ground... Damnit! Why were they so reckless?!?
