We have yet to find out if I'm pretending hat Yahiko never lived, or what...?

Squad four~

Suika nodded her head. She faded into the trees behind her as the others charged into battle. If she waited until they clumped up, than her technique could take out a larger number of people. As the large man who she was supposed to attack charged towards Usiko, Suika concentrated her chakra. Thin and sharp. Soon she felt the wind quarreling with one another. It was powerful enough.

She charged out of the trees, her Maru Katana dragging behind her. She jumped into the air, without warning and slammed the weapon into the brawny man's back. He seemed quite taken aback, but the impact sent him flying. Though her technique wasn
t that powerful... yet, it still worked. He was slumped over, unconsicous.

"Need any help?" Suika asked. The boys, though, seemed to be having no troubles.

So, once we figure out what's happening with the new character I made, then I will begin posting.

Usiko~~

I jumped down to my two and immediately charged them. they came into attack mode, but they were clumsily and slow. I easily dodged the attacks and when they did manage to hit they were shocked by my lightning shield. Finally i got bored taunting them and slipped into attack. i got rid of my shield putting all of its energy in the two blades them sliced them up gracefully. then after they still were not down from shock stabbed hard in were the blades rested. The men cried out then fell, i looked over to see suika's man down and Akira's finishing off his guys.

*I guess I'll bring in Hana*

"Need any help?"

I turned around and caught sight of a few men laying at the feet of Suika, Usiko, and Akira. Her eyes shifted and before they reached mind I ducked behind a tall bush--

"Ow!" I hissed through my teeth.

"Oops, I'm sorry..."

A blonde-headed girl sat on the ground before me. She, too, was rubbing her now pink forehead. I moved my foot and sat down, leaning against the close tree. There weren't any footsteps so the group near the fallen men must not have moved yet. I peeked out over leaves and saw they were talking.

"Who are you?"

The girl hesitated, seeming to be surprised that I was there still. "My name's Hana," she finally said timidly.

I couldn't tell if that was from trying to stay hidden, or just being that shy. I stuck out my hand and shook, "I'm Aro,"

*Did I do Hana's personality right?*

AKIRA

I jumped off my branch and landed in front of the two he was supposed to fight. The first man charged immediately, drawing a sword as he did. I noticed how clumsy he was and sidestepped, slipping his sword out of his hands as I did. I fought with them for a couple of seconds, and the only time I had to try was when a guy got a lucky strike with a kunai at my head. A simple substitution jutsu fixed that.

After that first shot I stopped playing and finished them immediately. When we were finished we met in the center and began talking. I noticed a head peep out from behind a tree and motioned to Usiko. He nodded and motioned for us to wait for sensei. I agreed and waited for him to pop up.

Mando~~

I jumped down into the area pleased. They took down the bandits easily, maybe they would be able to make it out of here alive.

"very good" i said. "now that you have defeated them it is time to go" Then i motioned for them to move and we ran back to camp. There we rested for the night. They had me for the day then i would leave them. I hoped they would live to see me.

**I think Yahiko will have quit as a ninja or something, and the new character's his replacement.**

We were about to leave when I remembered the face.

"Hey sensei, I saw a girl poke her head out from behind that tree over there." I didn;t motion incase she was still watching.

"Why didn't you do something about it?"

"I didn't think she was dangerous, and I didn't know how to handle the situation. do you want me to go get them?"

Mando~~

"no" i said simply. "if she attacks we can deal, but it is getting dark and it is time for us to set up camp"

AKIRA

I nodded and ran after him into the trees.

*sorry for the one liner*

*Yes Kitty, you got her personality right, She probably won't talk alot now that she has been introduced to Aro. And I'm guessing that when you were talking about 'a girl' it was Hana, right? Here's a double post.*

Suika~

Suika nodded and slung her Maru Katana over her shoulder and behind her neck. She let out a yawn, and wiped the blood from the enemies off of her weapon. She crashed back onto the ground, but only quickly before they jumped into the trees.

Hana~

Hana shook the boy's hand. Aro... she'd never met anyone named Aro before. She leaned back against the tree. She wondered how she was supposed to find her squad alone. She knew that this was a test, but she had no idea where they were. She may as well get as much information out of Aro as possible so she could begin tracking.
- - -
*That's what I've got for them both. Uhm, for Hana, is that all right? I wasn't quite sure about what was happening so I kind of went with what Billy said.*

*It's fine, Rei* ^_^

[Aro - Squad 6]

A few blurs passed over head, meaning: the other group left. So, I was alone? I looked to my right and saw that the girl was still there. She was so quiet I had forgotten that I just introduced myself. Her eyes wandered around at the trees and ground. Not as if she was looking for something, but trying to avoid my eyes.

"Aro," Was she still whispering? "What're you doing here?"

I tilted my head to a side so our eyes met, saying, "I was gettin' some food from them."

"That was you're squad?"

"No,"

I stood up and stretched, yawning. The girl, Hana, sat. Even though I was lazy and hardly liked to do anything that required muscle use, she made want to start exercising like crazy, shouting, "Can you feel the burn?!" at the top of my lungs.

"Get up," I ordered, a smile playing across my face. "Or I'll leave you here."

Then I ran up a tree and started swinging away.

Hana~

Hana stared blankly at the guy running through the forest. He hopped up into the trees. She didn't care, however, if he left. She could track him, anyhow. She did, though, get up. Why? She wasn't sure. But she was right behind Aro as he wizzed through the trees.

Sorry it's short.

*S'okay, Rei <-- haha, it rhymed*

[Aro Tokaya]

I swivled around and pushed backwards toward another branch, Hana flew past. I watched her finally realize I turned and watched as she came back. Her hair looked wind-blown, I tilted my head to a side.

"Why'd you follow?" I laughed.

She hesitated, trying to comb through her tangles with her fingers. "I dunno, I just..."

"I know," I sighed, "I'm so irresistable,"

"Aro, you are not!"

I raised an eyebrow suspicously, She used my name? And wasn't quiet either?. Hana's face turned red (like Suika's had) and she looked a different way. I crossed my arms and looked backwards to make sure no bush or rocks were below.

Then I fell back (knowing full well the ground would catch me, feeling as soft as a pillow) and heard my name being screamed. A blur jumped from the tree and I started laughing hysterically at her expression.

"You totally fell for that!" I choked out.

Hana~

Hana leapt down. Her heart was still pounding. There were so many words she wanted to yell at him. She decided not to.

"Can you help me?" She asked quitely, landing lithely on the ground beside Aro, who was lying there, a pleased grin lighting up his face. "With what?" He asked, not really paying attention. "Well, I need to find my squad..." Hana trailed off, looking at the sky. The sun was beginning to set, and who knows how long it would take them to find there squad. And what about him? Where was his squad?
- - -
I'm skipping to nighttime for Suika's squad.

Suika~

How beautiful the stars looked. Suika gazed up at them, her eyes filled with wonder. How far the sky stretched itself; Enough to be seen by everyone, everywhere. The fire crackled near by. Akira and Usiko were already crashed. Well, dozing slightly. Mando-sensei had taken the tent and was probably already snoring inside.

But Suika couldn't sleep. She felt anxious. She didn't want to admit it, but she'd never camped out before. And to think there may be enemies-- or vicious animals-- in the forest scared her. She tried to squint her eyes shut, to no avail. She heaved out a long sigh, and coughed.

The face of the moon like anxious, too. He was watching out for Suika, and for her team mates... she guessed. How could they have fallen asleep so quickly? Suika thought, but truly it was only the fact that Suika had been awake almost two hours longer than everyone else.

A light drizzle began to come down. Suika shivered, and dragged her sleeping back up under a tree. She tried to be stealthy, but, of course, she ended up knocking over her weapon's pouch, her kunai clinking as they hit the hard ground.

She flinched. Whoops. That wasn't supposed to happen. She quickly hopped into her sleeping bag, and stared into the flames that were now being extinguished. She really wish she had someone to talk to. This was going to be one long night...

Its long and pointless, I know. Opening if anyone still wants to post!

I'm dropping out of the storybook since it has basically flopped. Sorry!
