"Oh okay sorry!" Rit apoligised. "I'm ready for the next riddle, and this time I won't mess up!"

"Very well then. Here is your next challenge.
Black we are, and much admired, Men seek us if they're tired. We tire the horse, but comfort man, Tell me this riddle if you can."

Rit thought...and thought...and thought... Tiring a horse? So maybe horses carry it...for comfort, it could make something...what would I want when I'm tired? Rit thought of a warm bed, near the fireplace with, hot chocolate or green tea. Bedrolls? No, not that admirable. Horses can't carry fire...wood? No, not black...coal? Coal! Rit ran to the main hall again. She opened doors, searching random rooms for a fireplace. After about five minutes of slamming doors, she came upon what looked like a comfortable living room, with a crackling fireplace. Rit searched for coal, then glanced out the window. There was a bare yard, with a demolishing pile of wood in the middle of it. Beside the wood was a small bucket of coal. Rit opened the window and leapt onto the narow sill, careful not to lose her balance. She grabbed a few peices of coal, and set them in a pile. A nearby garbage can provided her with an empty bottle, and Rit scooped up the coal and stuffed them into it. She found a small branch, and slit it down the middle using her pocketknife. Rit chopped the branch into three peices, making rough but useable stoppers. She stuffed one into the bottle's opening and dashed back to her sensei, who was waiting in the courtyard. "Here!" Rit grinned as she handed over the bottle. Her hands and shirt were black.

Nightway watched as Rit thought for a moment then dashed off. She was a bright girl. She didn't think any of her Student riddles would stop her in her tracks, except maybe the last one. Nightway turned and surveyed the other happenings around the yard. Boricua was sitting and looking around, probably trying to think of a hiding place. Nin hadn't yet returned from 'doing stuff'. The rest of the yard was still, as Roxxy was behind Boricua standing still. As Nightway stood in the quiet yard a faint voice could be heard conversing with others. It wasn't very far away, but whoever it was was speaking quietly. A sharp movement caught her attention in the corner of her eye. Nightway turned to her left quickly, looking at one of the school buildings. She was sure something had just moved from there. Just as Nightway was going to go investigate the top of the building Rit dashed up behind her and caught her attention, handing her a bottle with some coal inside. "Well done... Rit." Nightway's eyes took in Rit's disheveled appearance. She smirked, trying to contain her laughter. "You've completed two of the six riddles now. Here is the third, though you may want to get cleaned up before you attempt it.
Old Mother Twitchet had one eye, And a long tail that she let fly, And every time she went through a gap She left a bit of her tail in the trap."

"Indeed you should Boricua, you should have already started." Her arms were crossed and her finger tapped on one arm. Her eyes penetrated into Boricua. "You have less than 11 and a half hours now." With that, she leaped into the trees near by and moved away from the yard. Hoping that her student realized that this was his head start.

Rit giggled, for this riddle was easier than the last. But where to find a needle? Her clothes could wait, they were black anyway. She sprinted toward the oh-so-convenient main hallway, and started searching again. Maybe there's someone who sews here... Rit knocked on a random door, then opened it. The room looked like an ordinary guest bedroom, with a wardrobe, desk, and bed. Rit flung open the wardrobe, and found nothing but clothes hangers. She sighed, and fell backwards onto the bed. Something sparkled on the floor. Money! Rit slid off the matress and squatted by the bed, picking up the loose coin. A small wooden box was lying under the bed. Rit retrieved it and pryed the box open. An acupuncture kit! There were tons of needles in it, and Rit hoped Sensei Nightway wasn't too picky. She carefully selected a needle, and got a clear, empty shampoo bottle from a nearby shower. Rit barricaded the needle in the bottle, then used one of her stoppers to seal it. This in hand, Rit triumphantly returned to her Sensei, twenty-five cents richer.

Nightway accepted the bottle, which had taken hardly any time for Rit to fetch. She held it up to eye level and squinted her eyes to see through the blurred shampoo bottle. "I must say, you're bottles are very varied and original. However," Nightway lowered the bottle and looked at Rit seriously. "I am going to have to deduct points for this one, as the answer was actually a needle and thread. You're doing very well though. I doubt this will effect your final grade if you continue at this rate.
Long legs, bandy thighs, A little head, and no eyes."

After Sensei Quill left for the trees, BORICUA thought and thought but couldn't find a decent enough hiding place, then a lightbulb turned on. He searched the Acadamy for green and black paint, until he found the paint room, he put a "painting suit" on and painted himself green and black, trying really hard to not get any paint on his clothes and only on the "painting suit". Then he went outside, and thought for a moment, "deserts don't have forests" he said, "What a pain". He went to wash off the green and black paint off, and found some tanish colored paint, so he painted himself with that paint, and went outside. He found a sand dune and dug a hole in it, he went inside to see if he fit, then came out and set "card traps" all over the place 1 mile away from him in a circle. He then went back inside and waited to see what would happen.

-Poof- Deathsquad appeared in the academy and waited for his student, Shashomarou, to arrive for her lesson. Then while he waited for her, he began to write some notes in his book and read over previous notes he had written.

Quill looked up at the position of the sun, it was off to the west, and it would set soon.
"I'd say about five hours." She was referring to the time limit she had set for her student. She had no high hopes, but she predicted he would fare well. She rested on a barren tree under the hot desert sun. She stretched her arms and legs before settling back on the branch to rest herself. When she awoke, it would be time to pursue the new pray.

"Only a couple more hours left, then she would come looking for me" said BORICUA, "Just to be safe, I'm going to try this jutsu", he got out of the sand dune and went a couple of feet looking out onto the desert, "I have to think smart, if I put traps here, then she'll know I'm hiding nearby", he left the area going into deep into the hot arryd desert, "forget the jutsu" he said, he dug a hole, he was sweating thinking its not the best place, he was getting nervous, then he got another idea, a jutsu was needed, he went back to his original hiding spot, he tried his hardest and was successful in a cloning jutsu, he left his clone to hide there and went to his latest hiding spot, he hid and hid, waited and waited

Nin finally returned, except he didn't have the playful look in his eye that he had when he was here before, they were more distant as if he were in a daze and kind of an angered glare as well. "I have returned Sensei," he said, in a very angry tone, not polite like he had been before "what is your next task".

It was dust, Quill just began to wake up. Her hands rubbed her eyes and she sat up right. Her eyes averted their gaze to the sky to confirm the time.
"I'd say it's 12 hours," She squinted at the red abyss of the dust sky. "Maybe 11 and a half, but oh well." She swung down from branch to branch until her feet touched the soil. She was near the edge of the desert. She looked over the barren waste land, then turned around. She almost started to walk away, but her mind churned. She had a strange gut feeling that he was hiding out there.
"I'll give him warning before I come." Her lags constricted like srings close to the ground. She would make a mad dash through the desert. This would kick up enormous dust clouds, but this student would need the warning with his skill. The springs released and off she darted like a bullet no cloud passed in front of her eyes so she was aware of her surroundings. They had the keen skills of an eagle scouring the land for it's pry from an altitude that ables them to see all. She needed this ability, her human eyes were not enough. Her hands came together to make hand signs as she said "Seeking Eye Jutsu." Her eyes now could see forms of the desert, but they were also equipped with the ability to see heat. The dunes are great places to hide, if she couldn't look in all of them, she could see into all of them.
