„Anything to take it from your mind
But it won’t go
You’re doing all these things out of desperation.”

~ Six Degrees of Separation by The Script

The moment she set foot in this town, she knew that she couldn’t handle anyone noticing her, looking her way, talking to her. The overwhelming fear made it hard to even breathe and for an instant she considered to just turn and leave again. Find some other place to stay at. However, her common sense, which was lingering in her mind despite the irrational panic, gave her enough reasons to keep going. First, it was already late afternoon, meaning the sun would set in a few hours. Secondly, she barely had any supplies left; she had to stop at a market at least.
Alright then. She took a deep breath, reminding herself of the hood she was wearing. It made her feel safer, closer to the possibility of disappearing in a crowd. Not that there were many people around at the moment.
‘Calm down,’ she thought to herself, taking one step after another. Misoka had no idea where exactly she was heading as she had never been to Iwa before. Afraid that somebody might take notice of her, she tended to keep her gaze down. Right, she was just a boring inhabitant of Iwagakure now. Or just another visitor. No-one to be worth talking to.

After some time, she found herself at a quite beautiful place with waterfalls nearby. She looked around hesitantly, but couldn’t make out any other person. Or could someone be hiding behind a rock or something? Okay, she should stop being such a chicken. Come on, she had run out three Jou-nins and saved a little boy just a few days ago and being in a new environment scared her? This was ridiculous.

She put down her backpack, letting herself drop to the ground as well. For now, she would not think about anything at all. With a rather hesitant movement, she took off her hood and lay down on the back, her eyes directed towards the sky. The silence only interrupted by the sounds of the waterfalls comforted her. At the same time, she felt that a part of her was still trenched in loneliness. No wonder, she hadn’t been speaking a word for the last three to four days.
Time went by and soon her eyelids felt heavy while looking up to the ever-blue sky. Everything would be alright… Her mind got hazier until she drifted into a light sleep.


OOC: Just wake her up. It's probably not so healthy to fall asleep in such a place.
She might panic a bit at first, but she won't kill you. xD

Taku had just finished his daily assignment and was headed to waterfall point to train. As the sun beat down on his neck he begen to sweat so he stopped at a small stream and took a drink of cool refreshing water. The water felt amazing as it slid down the back of his throat. He then continued onwards toward his destination.

Upon arrival the first thing he noticed was a young girl laying down by the waterfall. Taku would let her sleep but this area can be dangerous at times so taku went over and nudged the girl a bit and said "Hey are you alright this is not a really good place to sleep". He said in a caring but concerned voice.

Amidst the peacefulness of sleep and rest of mind, she suddenly felt someone touch her shoulder.
Slowly, her eyelids fluttered open as words reached her ears. "Hey are you alright this is not a really good place to sleep."
She took a moment to take in her surroundings, spotting a boy's face in front of her, red eyes piercing into hers, a somewhat concerned expression. Okay, where did she fall asleep now... Dad would scold her if she came late for dinner... Except that she wasn't even anywhere near her hometown. That's when the sobering truth hit her again, providing all the reasons she hated to know: She was a fugitive, she just recently got away from her enemies and she reached Iwagakure, a place she was absolutely not happy to be in. And now, after she had foolishly rested on that rocky ground beneath her, someone had seen and woken her up.
She didn't want to talk to anyone of this town, not if she could avoid it.

Quickly, she stood up, pulling the hood over her head again, and only then realized how small the boy was, even more so in a crouched stance. How old was he? Ten? At least he didn't pose any threat. Still, a part of her felt repelled. This was a guy from Iwagakure, just like the bandits who had killed her mother two years ago. And why did he have to wake her up, anyway? All she wanted was at least a temporary peace of mind; why did that kid have to come over and bring her back to that harsh reality she was living in?

"I can take care of myself." Her tone of voice was dry. At the same time, she felt sorry for her rude behaviour... it wasn't like her at all. But all she could think about was her mother, who had died by the hands of such a filthy Iwa-nin. There was surely a reason for why Suna and Iwa were enemies.
"I'm a Chunin and you're just a small kid. You better go home to your parents and let them baby you. I'm sure they're worried already."

This should be enough to have that kid leave me alone, she thought, scowling at him.

Taku watched as the girl woke up and began to talk "I can take care of myself.". She said taku smiled and said "I am sure you can but this is still a very dangerous place to fall asleep at". Then her next comment was a little nastier "I'm a Chunin and you're just a small kid. You better go home to your parents and let them baby you. I'm sure they're worried already.". Taku smile began to fade and his left eye began to twitch. Taku gritted his teeth and said "What...Did...You....Just...Say...To...ME". Taku raised his head up with a very sadistic look in his eyes. Taku began to laugh and said "A small kid huh ill have you Know i am a Special Jounin Of Iwagakure no Sato". Taku then proceeded to lick his lips and crack his knuckles. Takumi then said "Still feel the same way".

Oh dear. What had gotten into that kid? Misoka's eyes widened slightly, not sure whether she should believe him or not. Special Jounin at this age? Or did he only look younger than he was?
The boy stood up and she realized they were the same height. Still, something about him seemed fairly... dangerous. He cracked his knuckles, his eyes narrowed.

To tell the truth, this made her feel a bit uneasy although she tried not to show it too openly.
"Special Jounin?" Misoka shook her head. "I guess that's what you dream to be." Her voice still sounded firm, but she couldn't hide the tinge of hesitation in it. Hopefully, that scary kid would leave now. He could tell his lies to someone else. Come on, Special Jounin...

Takumi laughed quite loudly then said "Still don't Believe me huh then i guess i will have to prove it to you". Taku inhaled then said Do not underestimate my size and age as weakness i have been trained by the past 2 Tsuchikage AND YOU WILL GET TO SEE THE FRUIT OF MY TRAINING". Taku said loudly so that the girl knew he meant business. Takumi jumped in the air and landed 15 feet away making hand signs mid air. When his feet hit the water a thick fog rolled in obstructing the vision of any body within. Taku chuckled on more time then said "Good luck You will need it". Before all traces of him disappeared into the fog.

chakra=240 jutsu inside:

Okay, there was no denying it: Now she had really made him mad.
She was witnessing a boy transforming into some evil demon, it seemed. Not good. Not good at all.
Misoka watched in complete surprise as the boy jumped into the air (after shouting at her) and made hand signs, obviously preparing a not so weak attack. Besides that, this guy was fast. Could it be that he'd been telling the truth about his ninja rank?
She bit her lower lip angrily, cursing herself for her previous childish behaviour. She could have told him to leave in a polite way. Why had she overreacted like that? Maybe a combination of all the bottled up feelings inside her. Frustration. Desperation. Fear. Anger.
The boy, who had just turned into her opponent, certainly seemed to have a lot more anger to deal with.
The next instant, he disappeared.
Misoka blinked. Where did he go? She got into a fighting stance, but didn't feel very much prepared for a combat now. All she had wanted was time to relax and get to terms with herself.
Your own fault, she thought sorely. She shouldn't have been so mean.. after all, the boy had nothing to do with her mother's death. However, he did pose a threat to her at the moment.

She tried to concentrate as best as she could and waited for his attack. Somehow she would have to dodge it ... in case that was possible.


OOC: Posting order: Taku - Misoka - Yuuto , ok? :) Which means it's Taku's turn now.

Takumi walked around snickering to himself "How to do this make you sink into the earth,Have my pet rip you apart,Drown you in tons of water. So many fun options". Taku was moving at a very fast speed so Misoka would hear his voice all around her. Takumi stopped and bit his thumb and made a few hand seals and smacked the ground creating a puff of smoke when it cleared his wolf partner was standing in it's place. Takumi smiled and said "Good luck little girl my pet is hungry". After that he gave his wolf a sign to go it then sped off in misoka's direction ready to attack.

Chakra=225 jutsu inside:

She looked around, trying to focus on her opponent, but she could only glimpse his blurred figure moving over the place. He was really fast and... Suddenly, she saw him stop and smack the ground. In a cloud of smoke a huge wolf appeared, baring its teeth. Kuchiyose no Jutsu?
Before any other thought could cross her mind, the animal charged at her, which left her with no other option than to quickly make handsigns herself.
"This boy's gone crazy," she muttered under her breath, preparing her C-Rank Jutsu "Fire Dance". Too bad she hadn't practised it a lot before.
While she spun around, slowly sending chakra into her legs, the wolf had already reached her. A wave of pain washed over her as the animal bored its teeth into her left lower leg. Just then she managed to ignite the flames around her, burning the wolf's muzzle and making him back off with a yelp.
Misoka quickly formed a burning ring to protect her from further attacks of the animal.
Her leg, however, was smeared in blood and, needless to say, hurt terribly. If she only knew some Medical Jutsu...
Apart from the throbbing pain, which made it hard to keep up the fire ring, she realized something else: That boy was dead serious. He wouldn't hesitate to kill her. And worst of all, his fighting skills were incredible.
How was she going to defeat him? This murderous wolf gave her a hard time already.

The fire around her slowly faded, leaving her with no protection anymore. "Damn it." She took off the coat and tore a piece of it off with a kunai. Right afterwards, she wrapped the piece of clothing around her wound, stopping the bleeding this way.

The wolf regained its composure in the meantime and approached her once again, this time warier, though.

Misoka's mind raced. What should she do? Fight even though she was pretty sure she stood no chance against the boy? Run away? She wouldn't get far. Especially not with that wounded leg of hers.
So fight it was then. She inhaled sharply, preparing to fend off the wolf's next attack. At the same time, she would have to be careful of the boy's whereabouts... He would surely not just stand there and watch.

OOC: Ok Yuuto will save the day now! (..or not) Mad Taku going on a rampage XD

Chakra 185/200:

It was a beautiful day. A perfect day to go and have some rest at the waterfall point. Yuuto walked out of his house without even saying a goodbye or any other way of telling that he will be leaving his house. As he closed the door, there was a powerful blow of wind dancing around Yuuto. He could already smell how awesome this day will be. Quickly, he dashed away to the direction where Waterfall point is.

Yuuto arrived at his destination. Waterfall point wasn't far away from his house, he just needed to waste 5 minutes of his time and he would already arrive. Heck, 3 minutes if you run. Anyway, as Yuuto arrived at the beautiful, stunning and whatnot place, he saw a young, beautiful girl and a small kid argue. At first he thought that they were arguing about some kind of relationship but then he thought "Wait that doesn't make sense. Why would a beautiful girl and a kid be in a relationship.". And that's the moment a lightning, sharp bolt struck into Yuuto's head. They weren't arguing but actually starting a fight.

He saw the boy launch towards the girl. "Right that confirms it. thought the boy in his head. He quickly tried to dash himself towards the fight, SUDDENLY, he saw a wolf coming through a white, mysterious cloud. Before he could talk or take the hit/bite he saw in front of him a small blood patch. Yuuto couldn't believe him. While dashing towards the fight he couldn't stop the angry, young kid. Couldn't save the girl. Couldn't do anything!

Yuuto finally, safely landed on the the fresh, smooth grass. Furiously, Yuuto slashed his head towards the kid. "If you wan't to beat someone. How about beat me? Instead of the beautiful girl?" Yuuto said. Yuuto was glad that he still had a slight chance of letting the girl escape.

Taku laughed to himself before he saw a young boy jump in front of this insolent girl Saying "If you wan't to beat someone. How about beat me? Instead of the beautiful girl?". Taku giggled then said "Alright have it your way". Taku then ran at him at full speed and aimed a round house kick toward his head. "Take this you punk". He said mid-air.

OOC: Sorry for the short post this just seemed like enough for now. Also when the fire come into play Misoka you do it. You can aim for me but because your leg is injured it misses and hits next to me. Making me turn normal.

Misoka only saw another boy appearing out of nowhere and then everything happened in a blur.
There was no time to say anything except for a surprised "Oh" sound. The next instant, she watched the newcomer getting kicked by the little boy, so hard she felt almost tempted to tear her eyes away from the sight. Whoever that guy was, he had just happened to get himself into a lot of trouble.
Apalled by the noise behind it, the wolf turned away and focused on his master's new punching bag.

For a moment, Misoka just stood there, shaking slightly, unsure of what she should do now. Her eyes went to her backpack not far away lying on the ground. If she took advantage of her opponent's distraction, she could grab her belongings and simply escape. She shook her head before even finishing the thought in her mind.
No way was she going to leave that boy to die here - After all, he had jumped in to save her! With a frown, the young girl began to make handsigns, concentrating on the heat building up inside her.
'I need to get closer,' she pondered anxiously and then broke into a light jog despite her leg's painful denial.
After she had come within a range of about five metres, she gathered all the force she could muster up and spew out a fireball at the opponent.

She had no hope for the jutsu to do any serious damage, considering its low D-Rank, but it gave Misoka a feeling of trying at least. And still, you could only call it 'trying'. Due to her wounded leg, she had lost her balance and lacked accuracy.
The fireball flew towards the enemy and.. missed.
"Oh no. Damn it, damn it, damn it." She kept mouthing these words in desperation, knowing that she would have only increased the boy's rage with her attack; his irrational anger he was obviously not able to control.

"Can't you stop being that aggressive? We can still talk this out!" She called, squinting her eyes for a second to shut out the pain in her leg. The bite wound was deep, but nothing she couldn't take care of later.

Chakra: 175/200:

Yuuto still looking furiously at the boy suddenly saw the his unexpected opponent running towards him, before he knew it he was kicked into the air. "WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?" Wondered Yuuto. After-all, it was a kid. Come on! He couldn't be anything special, a Tsuchikage or some sort of village hero. Right? But he was strong, very strong.

While Yuuto being in mid air. He had all sorts of bad thoughts inside his head. They were mostly about death, what's gonna happen to him and if he is even gonna survive, because that kick sure was strong. Before he could realize whats gonna happen to him, he felt a medium hot water drops on him, no that's not right, he felt water covering him from every single spot on his body. He realized that the only chance of survival was for the girl to save him. But she was injured herself so there was a little chance of survival. Yuuto slowly began to close his eyes as he got deeper, and deeper in the water. It was almost as the water which he always had loved, is dragging him down. Will Yuuto surive? Or will the see pull him in?

(Occ)Gor 4 things to say. 1.I guess it's all up to Misoka to calm Taku down or sometin like that. 2. I wrote without thinking I just let my fingers do the typing, sorry. 3. I guess I won't be typing anymore since I am going unconscious. 4. Do you like my anime guy skills that always is in for like most of the animes? :P

Taku began to laugh as the voy went soaring through the air. He was about to turn back when he saw a fire ball coming towards him. Luckily it hit next to him instead of colliding with him. But it was still there, burning Taku's mind began to wander as he looked at the searing hot flames. His mind flashed back to the day his house burned down. Taku grabbed his head and screamed as he watched the flames he fell to the ground and began inching away from the fire. He began to sweat and as he looked in all he feel see was the immense hea t of that day when the flames licked at his skin. He got a few feet away before he just sat there rocking back and forth, Holding his head and mumbling something about making it stop.

She had expected the kid to charge at her furiously or laugh or preparing for a counter-attack - but certainly not that. He had just dropped to his knees, holding his head and rocking back and forth, extremely upset. As far as she could make out from the short distance which separated them, his mouth kept opening and closing as though he was mumbling something to himself.

Misoka didn't understand what exactly had upset him so much, but there was no time to think, anyway. In a hurry, her eyes searched for that other boy. He must be lying somewhere here on the ground... except if...
She gasped and rushed (as best as she could) to the edge of the rocky platform, dragging her wounded leg.

"HEY!" She shouted, but already had a bad feeling about the sputtering waterfall which made the river flow fast and ruthlessly.
There was no reply. Of course not. He must have gone unconscious after that kick.

Misoka shuddered to think of the guy dying a horrible death underwater. She couldn't just stand there and watch! "What shall I do, what shall I do!" Her voice was edging toward hysteria as she hobbled to her backpack, pulling out a rope and only then realized that it was no use in a situation like this. How should an unconscious person hold on to a rope?!

“Chakra,” she whispered. That was it. Sending chakra to her feet in order to walk on the surface and trying to sense the boy’s own chakra. And then pulling him out of the water… if only her leg wasn’t injured. The girl whirled around.

"You!" She called out, stumbling toward the kid, who was still sitting on the ground and staring into space. Without hesitation, she grabbed his shoulder and shook him. “Snap out of it! The boy… he is drowning! We have to save him and you are going to help me!”
If he didn’t react, what should she do then? Okay, no point in being pessimistic now.

She didn’t wait for a reply or any sign of realization in the kid’s eyes, but immediately sent chakra to her feet. Her left leg stung terribly as though it had just been set on fire.
At least she wasn’t close to death, though. With clenched teeth, she ran over the water surface, feeling a faint chakra moving away from her. As she came within reach, she spotted the boy’s limb body drifting through the water, every now and then being dragged down by the force of the river.
‘Hang on,’ she thought, not wanting to see an innocent person die before her eyes ever again. She grabbed the boy’s arm and pulled him up so his face would break the surface. Sweat drops fell down from her forehead as she tried her best to keep the chakra in her feet. The current was pulling at her fiercely, but she managed to hold her ground. Still, she wasn’t sure whether she had enough strength left to pull the boy to the river bank.
Hopefully, that aggressive kid would somehow feel remorse for his actions and help her.

OOC: Great post Yuuto :D taku you go now!

Taku was just sitting there staring at the flames when he felt somebody shaking him saying "Snap out of it! The boy… he is drowning! We have to save him and you are going to help me!". Taku came back to reality only to see a girl running toward the edge of a cliff and walking over. Taku quickly ran over and saw her pulling somebody out of the water. Taku jumped up into the air and landed behind her without a sound she seemed to be struggling to taku grabbed a hold of the boy and pulled him up. He picked him up and and put him on his shoulders. "Let's go back up to the top". Taku said as he began to climb the steep cliff side. When he got to the top he looked back over and said "Do you need any help".

Just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore, the shirtless boy arrived at her side and helped her. She was too exhausted to be surprised of his entire mood change and only smiled at him sincerely. "Thank you, let's drag him out.."
Before she could finish her sentence, the boy had already picked up the unconscious one - and now, exhaustion or not, she had to be amazed at this little kid's strength - and took him back to the top of the cliff.
Misoka followed shortly after, sighing gladly when she finally released the chakra in her feet. The feeling of relief didn't last long, though, as she quickly stumbled toward the two guys.

"Is he alive?" She said, to no-one in specific and decided to see for herself. So she sat down, feeling his pulse.
There was a heartbeat.
Thank God.
With a pleased expression, she looked up to the other boy, knowing that she wouldn't have to say anything more.

But then another look at the boy lying on the ground reminded her that there must still be a lot of water in his lungs. He had to spit it out and yet he barely moved.
Concern filled her eyes again. In no time, she started patting his chest firmly, hoping this would help to get the water out.

OOC: I suggest Taku goes now one more time, then I and then Yuuto. :)

Taku watched as the girl pumped his chest Taku had hoped he was alright. Taku did not remember much of what had happened just that he got mad fun of and got angry then...nothing it was black. Taku watched intently to make sure nothing else went wrong with the boy. He was not a medic but he had seen enough at work to know the basics of First Aid. Taku felt his wrist and counted his heart beats to make sure they were steady. When he was satisfied that they were he checked his breathing to make sure he still was getting oxygen. He was breathing but it sounded as if the girl was right he had inhaled some water. Taku began CPR to get the water out of his lungs. So While Misoka pushed in his chest Taku breathed for him to get the water out.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Misoka tried hard to stifle a giggle when the little boy started doing CPR. It did look a bit... well, let's just say you don't get to see something like this every day.
But the black-haired kid seemed to know exactly what he was doing. His fast reaction gave Misoka hope for a soon awakening of their 'patient'. Still, their teamwork didn't make her forget about the things which had happened only a few minutes ago.
She didn't trust the little boy yet; he was way too unpredictable for now. First, he nearly killed a person, then he helped save him.

She brushed her thoughts aside as the brown-haired boy, totally wet by the way, started coughing.
"There! I think he wakes up!"

Yuuto started coughing out water...The last thing he could remember was the dark, demon thoughts he had in his brain, dancing like waves throughout his brain circuits. He was still half unconscious, but finally opened his watery eyes. For some reason everything was still bright for him so he couldn't see well so he just let his body do everything.

Soaked wet, he tried to stand up but he found himself still laying in the same spot. Somehow, he regained his sight and the first thing he could see was two big balls. At first he though "What the hell is going on?" But then he could find a big slope and someone breathing in and out of his own mouth. He widened his eyes and finally understood what was happening. Someone is giving him a CPR or some crap like that, Yuuto though in his tiny brain. He randomly started flapping his hand everywhere panicking if it was a girl who gave him a CPR. If it was, one of his foolish dreams would come true.

(OCC) Like the other post fingers done the work. Really can't be bothered to turn on my brain. :3

Taku continued doing CPR until he felt the boy cough up the water. Taku sat back and sighed before saying "Well looks like he is alright". He stood back up and began to walk towards a tree that was only a few feet away. He sat back against the tree and began to ponder on what happened before saying. "By the way what happened to you guys". Taku asked with a questioning look on his face.

OOC: I am making this go as taku did not know what he was doing and as such when he returned to normal could not remember any of it.

"Well, looks like he is alright."
Having said that, the little boy stood up and just walked away, much to Misoka's surprise. She raised an eyebrow. 'Okay, the dude's alive, now I don't care anymore'? No 'I'm sorry I nearly killed you'?
The heck... In an attempt to make the boy who had just woken up feel a bit more comfortable, she forced a smile on her lips. "Good to see you're still alive."
She bit her tongue, but the damage was already done. How comforting was it to hear that you had almost died?

Then another voice reached her ears, coming from behind her. "By the way what happened to you guys?"
To say this took her by surprise was an understatement. Misoka turned around and gave the black-haired boy a confused look. He was leaning against a tree, the same bewildered expression on his face.
Should that be funny?
She felt tempted to stand up and make herself look a bit more frightening maybe, but her injured leg strongly protested against that idea.

"What are you talking about?" She said instead, annoyance evident in her voice. "You-You wanted to kill us!" With a sigh, she ran her fingers through her blonde hair. "Look, I'm sorry about the things I said to you. I didn't mean to get you so worked up over them... especially not SO upset."

Yuuto could hear them talking about something unimportant to him at the moment. All he wanted to do is wake up so he tried, and tried but he couldn't his muscles hurt from every single joint. But somehow he slowly was getting up.


As Yuuto was slowly hovering himself up. He heard a cute voice with a unusual smile saying "Good to see you're still alive." Yuuto looked at her with a big smile. A smile so big that you could see his tooth gum. "Thanks." Said Yuuto, with his wide smile still sticking around on his face. He plucked grass out of the solid ground and put out his hand. Slowly he started letting go of the grass, turning his head in the direction of the grass spinning around in the strong wind. Still half-shocked from the young boy giving him CPR he asked "What are your names guys? Sorry, that's a bad question, why should you answer. And this is one of the worst question to ask at this type of moments." Why did Yuuto say something random at this time? Why? Because he couldn't think of anything else he should do at this kind of moment. Go home? No! Say thanks? He already done that. Yuuto didn't feel like saying thanks once again. Actually, Yuuto thought that the other two should say thanks to him. After all, he did just save the girl from being eaten by that ferocious wolf, and stopping the fight.

(OCC) Damn I forgot that Misoka skyped me yesterday that she posted. >_< So I was like "What the heck Misoka. Post already? Sorry.

Taku froze when he heard her answer. He began to swallow as he thought the memories slowly started to come back to him. "I did it again didn't I". Taku turned his head from both of them and said "Please understand something that was not me in-fact i do not have much of a memory from anything that happened.". Taku stood up with tear n his eyes and owed to them both saying "Please forgive me for me actions for they were not my own". Taku wiped his eyes when he heard the boy's question he lifted his head and said "It's Takumi, Takumi Senju but most people call me taku". He said before sitting down next to the boy "I hope i did not hurt you guys". He then looked at the girls leg and dropped his head.

The silence which followed Misoka's words lay heavily on their shoulders until the boy beside her raised his voice. "What are your names guys? Sorry, that's a bad question, why should you answer. And this is one of the worst question to ask at this type of moments."
He was right. It might not be the best timing to bring this up, but after what had just happened to the three of them, it couldn't help knowing each others' names. "I'm..," she started, didn't get to say anything more, though, when the other boy interrupted her.
"Please understand something that was not me in-fact i do not have much of a memory from anything that happened." He walked over to the them and she believed to see a tear trickle down his cheek. "Please forgive me for me actions for they were not my own."
It sounded strange. What was he saying? That he had some kind of split personality?
Misoka tilted her head slightly. If it wasn't for the sincerity in his voice and the remorseful expression on his face, she would have a hard time believing him. "So you... you blacked out .. in a way and now you can't remember anything." She paused and then exhaled in a sigh. This was all so confusing and sudden. First day in Iwa and already thrown into a situation like this one.
"It's okay," she then said, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "We're all still in one piece." And about her leg... she gulped when she thought of going to the Iwa hospital. No, she would hate to do that. But there was no other choice, she had to get it checked by medics. Her face fell. She didn't even have any place to stay. No grand-mother who would let her live in her house. 'Stop it. I'll think about it later.' For now, there were other things to take care of.

Turning to the boy next to her on the ground, she told him his name, well, not her surname of course. "Misoka. Um.. nice to meet you?" Granted, this was NOT the best way to get to know new people. "Taku." She nodded to the shirtless boy with the tousled black hair before giving the other guy a questioning look. "And you are...?"

Only then she remembered the Suna headband hanging around her neck. Somehow she felt nervous, not wanting them to see she came from the Wind country. Suna and Iwa were enemies. Sure, she could be a visitor, but still they might be prejudiced against her. Her heart sank. She wouldn't even blame them; after all, she had been the one to feel so repelled by a simple conversation with an Iwa ninja. Even now, there was a certain uneasiness inside her, close to fear and anger.
Casually, she hid the headband underneath her white T-shirt so they wouldn't see the village sign on it. In addition to this, Misoka let her long hair casacade over her shoulders, making it even harder to notice she was wearing a ninja headband.
