Fuu pointed at Seiyuri, then at Tetsu who had just spoken, as if to say something.<br/><br/>She stopped, and nodded at them both.<br/><br/>"...OK. But also, no. Stay close to our group, but up there." The dark-eyed ninja pointed up into the trees. "You'll follow and watch us from above. Stay close. I want you following right...on...my...ass." Her eyes creased, the face underneath the mask twisting into a mischevious smile. "Let's go!" She bolted heading north, not even having to say anything to her younger silent brother, who was instantly on her heels, followed in short order by the other genin in her little group. Infuriatingly for Tetsu and his group, she had given no time for any more discussion on her orders, leaving them with the option to obey and take a blow to their pride, or to ignore her and threaten the integrity of the "mission", and the exams. What a bitch.<br/><br/>As Fuu's group raced ahead on the ground, with presumably Kyo in short order, it seemed Tetsu's team had no option but to follow them, preferably weilding their chakra into their feet to climb the many trees in the Hallowed Forest and leap from branch to branch in pursuit of the impatient Orikama siblings.<br/><br/>Fuu's group sprinted ahead, making their way past the many dark and aged trunks of the forest, bushes becoming a blur, every now and then a creepy etched face becoming apparant, the eerie masks screaming a silent warning to the genin, their eyes bleeding sap. After barely a minute of travelling, the wailing from the north reached a hideous pitch, a bellowed scream of apparant agony. Tetsu's group would notice the trees they were travelling on thinning out, and soon both groups found themselves in front of a small clearing, a tiny spot of sunlight in the murky forest, where there were no trees. Stumps dotted the small area where the trees ended abruptly, and a pit was directly in the centre of the small clearing.<br/><br/>The screaming was coming from the pit.<br/><br/>Fuu's group slowed, at a point from their masked leader began to fan out around the pit, the new sunlight making patches on their clothing. The screams were skin-crawling, but apparantly Fuu and her team were hesitant to rush straight into the pit to rescue the apparant victim, if that was what indeed was in there. Tetsu's group would face the choice of dropping down from their perches to investigate, or staying in their vantage points as planned, keeping their lookout.<br/><br/>One stump, higher than the others, was close to the edge of the pit. On it, a particularly descriptive etched face howled a mute cry of warning, the sap-tears covering its face, and one skinny arm pointed...strangely...towards the pit...
