  Sharingan, One Tomoe: InactiveThe Stranger walked into the room nonchalantly. No enough so to draw unwanted or unnecessary attention, as a matter of fact if no one was specifically watching I doubt they would notice him. He walked toward Takeo, the bag of chips out of sight, he patted him on the back by his shoulders, hard, in a brotherly bond sort of way. With with left hand he moved behind his back and behind Takeo's back as well, shielding his movement with his body as he deftly placed the bag of forty-five chips into Karasu's older brother's, main pouch.
He nodded as if all he wanted to do was say a silent hi. He then walked towards Serene, well within her visual range and in an obvious manner. Of all them she was... jumpy and unpredictable. He took out a sack of chips and handed it to her say, "A rather delightful gent in there asked me to give these to you, he said that there was a counter in the ring over there where you may use these as you see fit.
Have fun then, Tata~." Placing them into her off hand, to keep her from getting nervous and to also keep her from refusing, he wandered off into a corner were he sat and basked in the warming embrace of whatever delightfully, ingenious jutsu was. He should ask Ai for a few pointers on..."Wait, a second.. Why would EYE care to ask that little ball of jubilant fluff?!"Staring inwardly at himself, he saw that the prisoner was indeed intact and accounted for as well as his bindings. A dark scowl formed on his features, hidden by his mask. If any one looked into his eyes, they would see that something was disturbing him greatly.

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
As Sessouresu was handed the paper he looked around the room slightly.... yep,.... no one he would even think about wanting to pair up with in this exam. So there was only really one option for him to go through with; so with that the boy crossed out the 'single' section and crumpled the paper up; throwing it at the nearest Jounin's head, which just so happened to be Zarai. Though the Jounin caught the paper in mid air; the intention was there enough. With that the boy walked over to the wall and leaned against it. Not really caring to go into the gambling area; no fun in it if there was no challenge to is, and with his Jutsu he could easily win the roulette. "...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

"Only Strength Can Cooperate..."
As the last of the papers were returned to him, Zarai looked them over and paused for a moment. Thinking everything over for a moment before motioning for a Jounin to come over, and after a few quick instructions the Jounin walked off. "Alright Everyone, round two is about to start" As he spoke he started to list out people and room numbers, though there were really only a few that the others were actually interested in.
"Serene And Haruki, Room number 1
Sessouresu Room number 2
Koto and Yasuhiro Room number 3
Takeo, Room number 4"
"Keep in mind you are not only fighting with or against those from your Class. Learning a team-mates strengths and weakness's on the fly is an important Skill to a Shinobi" "..Weakness Can Only Beg"

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
"Well this should be fun huh Yasuhiro-kun? I'm looking forward to seeing what we can both do." Koto said in a calm tone with a slight but sincere and obvious smile. He'd been curious about Yasuhiro since he first saw him in the barracks. Judging from the first quarter he was a genjutsu user. He did, however, wonder about the extent of his ability with a sword.
He cast a glance over to sessouresu. "Don't loose runt..."he said with a kind of broad smile shared between rivals eager to test themselves against each other.
There was something in his eyes that said he wanted Sessouresu to succeed...
Without another word he left and headed to room 3...

  Character Theme: And Dignified Like A Blooming Flower As Serene went to go sit back down, she noticed something in the corner of her eye. Someone was walking in subtly, maybe an attempt to not draw attention to themselves... She took a quick glance over and saw Haruki make his way over to his brother Takeo, giving him a pat on the back. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but Haruki's manner of entrance (and that mask of his) made her a little wary of him. She already didn't have very high of an opinion of him, since the last time she had really seen him was all the way back when she first joined the group and they went to meet the clan lord. It hadn't been a very good first impression, and he hadn't done anything to change her mind either...
As Serene watched, she noticed something a bit strange about Haruki's movements. It seemed like there was a bit more to this brotherly pat on the back than it seemed. The way he used his body to shield what he was doing from onlookers, it reminded her a lot of pickpocketing...She had done her share of pickpocketing before she ended up with the Uchiha, so to her it was easy to spot. However there was something off about his movements, especially as he moved away. The slight pull of his arm that would happen when someone was grabbing and removing something didn't seem to happen, instead watching his shoulder it seemed more like a dropping motion. Was he slipping something into his brother's things? Serene couldn't really see any purpose for this except to sabotage Takeo... To try to sabotage a fellow squadmate, his brother... Serene could only roll her eyes in disgust. After getting thrown out of the last exam by Sessouresu, not it seemed that he was doing anything no matter how underhanded to win...
Then, Haruki made his way over to her. Serene hid her glare of distrust, covering it with a smile welcoming her squadmate. As he took out a sack of chips, and told her that a man in the gambling ring asked him to give them to her, Serene secretly gnashed her teeth together, the movement hidden by her gentle smile. "Oh, well, I don't really like to gamble, so..." Before Serene could even finish, Haruki had moved on, placing the sack in her hand and moving away so she couldn't return it. With his back to her, Serene dropped the smiling act, her eye twitching as she looked down to the sack of chips. It looked normal enough, but with the next round starting up soon, if she did keep them she'd probably have to keep it with her through the round. If it was a trap, it could easily cost her a battle. Serene wasn't looking to win here, but she wasn't trying to lose due to sabotage either.
Serene placed the sack under where she was sitting, not planning on keeping it with her. If it was just a bunch of chips for gambling, Serene wouldn't care if they did get stolen anyway. It wasn't like she wanted to gamble. And if it was in fact a trap, she'd let it get sprung on someone else, but it definitely wasn't going to be sprung on her...
Serene stood up, going to go to Takeo and warn him. However before she could, the jonin Zarai spoke again. She and Haruki were to go into room 1 together...and this was a combat test... She did choose she wanted a one on one fight, so it was possible she was facing him. And he just tried to give her something before the battle. Now there was almost not a doubt in her mind, he had definitely been trying to take her out before the fight started... She nodded to Zarai, taking a detour along her path to room 1 to walk past Takeo. "I think your brother slipped something into your things. He's been acting strange, so be careful... Oh, and good luck out there." Serene then made her way to the room, taking a quick look to Koto as he entered room 3. Something was definitely up with him as well, she could only sigh. It was like these exams were driving everyone crazy or something. It made her happy that she didn't really give a damn, except for her usual paranoia, she was as calm as could be.
As she stepped through the doorway, she began to focus. She had a traitorous mask-wearing creep to set on fire, after all...

 ~Feed the fire, break your vision~
Takeo was startled out of his thoughts by his brother, slapping his back rather roughly, as if to say good luck. He returned the nod, though he could still feel the uneasy feeling seeping from him. Haruki was still out for the count and that........... other being was still awake.
Takeo's head flicked up as Zarai spoke of the next test. So he wasn't paired with anyone he knew, that's just wonderful. As he stood up, Serene passed by, warning him of something about his brother slipping him something..........and a good luck. "Thanks, good luck to you too. Though I'm sure you'll be fine, be careful." He watched his friend enter her room, feeling a bit more confident with her words.
As he headed toward Room 4, he went through his things quickly. Strange........I don't remember this pouch. He pulled a rather hefty feeling bag from his main pouch, hearing a slight klink from its contents. He peeked inside and noticed that the bag was filled with chips! Were these from his brother? Why had he gone through this much trouble? He shrugged and entered the room. At least he had almost enough for the best prize now.........
~Throw your fists up, come with me!~

Sharingan, One Tomoe: Inactive
Returning from Room 1The Stranger carried Serene back into the holding cell. The effect of the jutsu from whom ever was helping his stride, he straightened a little bit as he strode into the room. Drawing the attention from several genin, he looked around recalling where she sat prior to their fight."Ah, here we are."He set her down gently with all of her weaponry and pulled off his cloak. Folding it four times over, he placed it under her head as a make shift pillow. He retrieved a gauze wrap from his personal supply, he packed her wound and wrapped it. For now that was all that he could do."There that is all I can... light on your feet huh?" She was a girl, raised by herself. She had to have been she had the eyes of an animal caught between predator and prey, scavenging for survival for years. It was clear she was not an Uchiha, so her thinking would undoubtedly be different."Very clever, little one."He thought about it a moment a stalked closely to her. He crouched until his mask was dangerously close to her face. What was unseen was his hand groping blindly under the bench until his hand bumped, the closed around a familiar pouch.
He smiled and placed the pouch in her hands and placed her hands softly over her stomach around the pouch. He took out a piece of paper, and dabbed his glove in some of her blood and began to write. His message to her read;
' Well done, you have earned this, and keep the cloak. Please Eye insist. '
He went to leave the note in her hand and stopped himself with a life. He took the note and placed in inside of her bra. Rather... puckishly, it was meant to annoy and flatter her. Why anyone would find it flattering from him who knew.
He took his bow and quiver and sealed them inside his scroll. Hiding it away from the others in the room, especially his barracks-mates. He still needed the edge he had for the time being. He went to a corner of the room and knelt down in a cross-legged position, very exaggerated and nonchalant. He waited for the jutsu to continue healing him while looked at nothingness.
In reality he eyed the entire room, and especially Serene. He waited eagerly for her to heal and realize he had helped her.

Sharingan, One Tomoe: InactiveAs the Stranger waited a jounin with medical pack approached him. He looked up and eyed the man before shruggin and twisting his seated position so his back was exposed. The man started to clean the wound, and realized that the cauterization was poor and going to be a problem."I am going to have to cut the burnt flesh away and heal you properly. It will be considerably excruciating.""Hmph.. Do what you have to."He let out a sharp hiss as the man created a chakra scalpel and began to carve away both the infected and the burnt flesh. He balled his fists and remained still. Thinking about his issues that battle. He could not fire from close enough range, he needed a more compact launcher to do so.
His sensory jutsu left much to be desired. He needed to have a more complete one, and needed more that did not require his eyes to use. His taijutsu was also lacking and that was something they couldn't afford to do. He could SEE all of his set backs, he just needed to PERCEIVE how to fix them.
Once he did that, he could attain the adequate power to rectify his shortcomings. He could feel the medical ninja's chakra coursing through his back. Like tiger balm it set his senses on fire but soothed and calmed him to a sort of state of placidity. Once his wound was close on both the inside and the outside, there was a faint pinkish scar that ran across his back."Hey, see that blood soaked beauty over there, would you kindly start on her first, before anyone else? She needs the medical attention more than I did. Thanks for the patch work doc, now get going."The Stranger was indeed an odd one to figure out. Unexpected, complex, bizarre and wrapped in a homicidal, egotistical enigma. He stretched his back and too his amazement, it wasn't even stiff. In fact it was just like new. He smiled now knowing his archery would not be hampered and went back to his disinterested eying of the room, as the medical jounin set to work on Serene's wounds.

Character Theme: And Dignified Like A Blooming Flower The compound was burning. Serene could only watch from a distance as the home she had known ever since she had been born was set ablaze, the screams of the people dear to her stuck in her head, she found herself unable to escape them. She had seen them slaughtered, the uchiha showed no mercy, wiping out every last one of them they came across. Serene's own shifting ability was the only thing that saved her from them, but now she found herself alone, not knowing if any others even survived.
That Uchiha crest...she had seen it on one of the attackers, seeing it filled her with sadness, but also with rage. These Uchiha had taken everything from her. For now she had to run, but she knew some day she would grow stronger and return the favor. She would bring down the Uchiha clan, by herself if she had to, and claim revenge for the Aramori clan...
That had been her goal, her wish. But now, Serene found herself in the forests alone. It had been a struggle just to survive on her own. She had to quickly learn how to hunt, gather, steal, anything to live another day. The more she did it, the more skilled she became, the easier it became to survive. But she also began to lose that drive for revenge that she once had. She couldn't worry about things like revenge, or even wonder if others had survived. For her the only thing on her mind was making it to the next day. And that was when she encountered the Uchiha ninja again, their clan crest easily viewable. When they spared her, took her in as one of their own, Serene should have refused, or tried to use it to her advantage to sabotage the clan somehow. But she didn't that hatred she had felt when she looked at the Uchiha crest had faded, now she only saw another means for survival.
She knew it when the Uchiha compound first became her home. She had betrayed, abandoned her own clan just to survive. When she came up with the name Altima instead of using her real clan name, it wasn't only to hide that she was once a part of a clan that was an enemy of the Uchiha...it was also because she didn't deserve to call herself by that name anymore. She was no longer an Aramori, their blood may have flowed through her veins, but she could never call them family again...
And with her current battle, her fight against Haruki...it became clear to her that no matter how skilled she got or how much others accepted her, she would never be an Uchiha. She lacked their bloodline, their natural ability, and would never be equal to them. So then, who was she? Maybe she was no-one at all, just another soul drifting through the world, trying to survive to the next day...
As Serene started to come to, her body was still overwhelmed by pain, however she could feel some kind of technique being used on her, her skin was knitting and strength was returning to her. She could feel something in her hand, as she looked down, she saw the bag that Haruki had left her, the same bag that she had hidden under her seat before. As the medical nin finished up with her healing, and moved on to the next genin, Serene could feel something else, something against her chest. Inside of her bra there was a note, Serene's eye twitched as she quickly retrieved it. What kind of pervert went sneaking things into sleeping women's bras? She quickly read the note before looking around the room, her eyes narrowing as she saw Haruki. It was hard to tell if she was bitter about her defeat, him putting a note in her bra, or both.
Serene put both the cloak and the pouch down on her seat and she stood up. Her wounds may have been healed but the pain and stiffness wasn't completely gone just yet. Serene silently began stretching out her arm and shoulder on her right side, the one that had been previously injured. One could see it wasn't intentional, she was just doing the same normal stretches she did to loosen her muscles, but being in not more than her underclothes, it ended up being a little show for the guys in the holding area...

Sharingan, One Tomoe: InactiveThe Stranger watched Serene intently like cats do birds just outside the window. If his mask wasn't on she would see the smile that cut a swath into his features as she read the note, then narrowed her eyes rather bitterly towards himself.
She put down his coat and his pouch and he cocked to his side the way that is typically depicted on a canine. It rather put him out that she had shrugged off two of his gifts now. It bothered him, though he was unsure why. There was moment in which his eyes danced over her body as she began to stretch. While they were battling he had noticed every minute detail, but he hadn't gotten the opportunity to truly appreciate her figure.
After he finished tonguing at the eye candy, he returned his eyes to hers and decided, what the hell? He stood up and walked over to her hands at his sides, palms tilted towards her in an opening and subtle gesture. However to her trained eyes it would seem loud and obvious."Hi there. How are you feeling?"He kept his vision on her face and her eyes. After all he detested the rude and it would be rude to itemize her into a lump of flesh. "Or in her case, a well shaped rump.... roast." He waited an appropriate amount of time before asking her his next question."Does it smell? My cloak I mean. I am sorry if it is. I figured you could wear it in lieu of your formerly appealing robe. Don't worry if you have to make alterations suitable to your movement and combat style, I won't mind it. I promise.
So, will you please take my prior gift and go get your prize. I am a curious creature and I wish to know what you will get with it."He dropped his voice to a whisper so only she would hear and leaned into catch her ear. "So... what was the delightful ability you displayed earlier? I have never seen a technique cause movement that fast with out any trace evidence. It was... interesting..."He looked at her with wary eyes, but his Sharingan did activate as she said that. She wouldn't know it but he wove a careful jutsu into place to tell if she was lying or not. Sense Motive, such a wonderful jutsu. He had a certain deceitful village leader to thank for it.

Character Theme: And Dignified Like A Blooming Flower As Serene stretched her body, she could feel her muscles stretching, loosening. Dispite her previous injuries, she felt pretty good now, as if she could enter another serious fight. She wasn't at 100%, but she felt pretty close to it.
As Haruki made his way over to her, Serene turned towards him, hearing his approach. From the way he approached, he looked as if he was trying to show he was not hostile. Before Serene would have seen this as a clever misdirect, the easiest way to get close enough to stab someone in the back was under the pretext of friendship. But she had fought against Haruki, and from that fight she knew more about him as a person. She still had no illusions that he was the most sane person in the world, but she could tell that he didn't mean harm.
"I'm feeling much better. Not quite my best, but pretty close..." As Serene spoke, there was a...familiarity in her voice, like how one would speak to a classmate they were used to seeing everyday. They might not have been friends exactly, but they knew a lot more about eachother now. "And I suppose you carried me out of there? It would be the only way you would have time to...hide that note of yours..." While there was definitely a tone of annoyance in her voice, Serene didn't seem flustered or angry. Then again, she was just stretching in her underwear in the middle of the test holding area, she didn't seem the type that got flustered easily...
Then as Haruki mentioned the cloak and bag, Serene looked at the two items in her seat, raising her brow just a little. "Umm...no, it doesn't smell...well, not too much anyway. I just put it down so I could stretch, I don't want to feel stiff for the next part of the test. Serene then reached down for the cloak, pulling in over her arms but leaving it open in front of her. It was easy to see that it was too big for her. "Its not the best fit, and I'll have to take it off if I have another round of combat. But thank you, for the chips too." Serene supposed she would have to go to that gambling ring to cash them in... She hadn't really cared about the area, but she supposed she could give it a look at least.
Then as haruki whispered to her, asking her about the technique she had used, for the first time it registered in Serene's head. Haruki would notice her flinching a litle bit as he spoke, the mention of her ability certanly shocked her. She thought for a second, she knew better than to just try to lie, all lies did was create a web that you could trip yourself over. She was more in the practice of omitting things than making things up. However if she was being asked about it directly...and she had used it with a jonin present. '"Oh...that...well, it's... Well, of course you know I'm not of Uchiha blood. But the uchiha aren't the only ones with a kekei genkai. I usually try to keep it hidden. I'm of the Uchiha clan now, the clan I was born into doesn't matter anymore. But, its still a useful ability, and one you forced me to use. Not a sharingan, of course, but I don't get to have one of those..." While she was telling the truth, it still seemed that she was uncomfortable about the subject. But, she just tried to brush it off. She was just hoping a repeat of that question didn't come from anyone higher ranking...

Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveThe Stranger smiled and let this one reach his eyes. There was a puckish twinkle in there that could easily be seen. How Serene would take that was entirely unknown. He smiled at her deductions."True it twas myself that carried you out, oh and you found it did you. I wasn't sure if I should sought, lesser forms of communication."Other than sounding like a complete perverted b*****d there was a point to what why he phrased it that way. First, it just amused the hell out of him, and secondly she had nerves of steel that much was apparent, but the only way to truly test the mettle of someone sadly was to goad them to their breaking point.
However he waited patiently for the response, he smiled that she was accepting of the gift of his cloak she so generously singed, slashed an ruined. But for now it would fit her just fine and for that he was pleased."Like I said fret not over the frivolities, it is yours now. And you are quite welcome also"He leaned in close so that others wouldn't hear and spoke with a somewhat serious tone. The look in his eyes was sure to grab her attention. For a moment the mirth simply drained away, as if someone threw water on a fresh painting. There was only clarity in his pupil engorged, intensely red gaze."A wise man once said, it is not where you are from, that determines who you are. Make no mistake that where you are from shapes who you will be.
It was a wonderful ability and if ever you get comfortable with it, I should like to discuss it with you over..."He took a moment to intentionally gander at her form, especially her legs since it were most of her skin was bare. However convincing it was he had a reason for drawing her attention to his own of her body."Tea perhaps? Or maybe some yoga, you do seem fond of stretching. Ooh here's a fun idea, both at the same time. Wouldn't that be quite the spectacle. All right then, go and get your prize. Off with you, Eye insist. Go on, shoo already!"He gave a mock dismissal gesture, there was nothing but mirth in his eyes and voice. He was obviously joking. There were times, when the Stranger was in control. Held his head, and handled his cards well..... Then there were other times, that simply proved how polite... and hopelessly insane he truly was.

Character Theme: And Dignified Like A Blooming Flower As Haruki looked at her, the playful look draining from his eyes for a moment, he leand in closer and spoke quietly to her. His words...she could tell what he was trying to get through to her. She shouldn't try to keep who she was before becoming an uchiha ninja sealed away, it was a part of who she was. But he could only say such things because he didn't know who she was. Even if she could be forgiven for being a former enemy of the Uchiha, her past did nothing but show her as a selfish person that threw away everything about where she was from to save herself. She was loyal to the Uchiha, she was an intelligent and talented kunoichi, these were already things that people knew about her. But to bring her past to light, it only cast doubt on her as a person. Who would be able to trust her? It was best for her to just leave her past behind her for good.
"I have reasons why I'd rather keep my ability quiet...I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone..." Serene knew however that the jonin watching their match had most likely seen the ability. Haruki was able to see that it wasn't just some variant of body flicker, that meant she most likely wasn't fooling a jonin's eyes either. She couldn't let it get to her nerves though, The Aramori was never a major enemy of the Uchiha, just a group that was in their way really. She was sure that they wouldn't know where she was from just from that one move...at least she hoped...
She then saw as the masked figure in front of her began looking her body up and down, stifling a sigh as she noticed. People said that men made better fighters, but she didn't see how possible that was with how easily they got distracted. "...Tea...and yoga... the tea I understand, but...well I guess somebody likes watching me stretch..." As Serene looked towards his masked face, a look of minor annoyance turned into a gentle smile, her head tilting slightly to the side. "So, was that you asking me on a little date? It certainly does sound interesting... Maybe you should try asking again when you can speak to me without eying me up and down like a piece of meat...And that mask isn't helping your chances with many girls either..." The smile still on her face, Serene turned in the direction of the gambling ring. That was where she needed to turn in the chips she was given, she supposed. "Well I'm going to turn these in now and see what I get. Have to hurry before the next round starts, right?"

~Feed the fire, break your vision~
Exiting the room and holding his nose, he caught a glimpse of red hair as it disappeared into the gambling ring. Looks like Serene was fine and about, so where was..........?
He spotted his brother across the way and approached him, reaching into his pouch from before and bringing forth the chips from earlier. Ever since the beginning of the first test, he had been formulating an idea on what to say to this.......thing. It wasn't his brother. Haruki was somewhere in his own mind, trapped somehow and pleading to be released. Somethings needed to be answered for and others needed to be answered.
A smile crossed his face and he patted his brother's shoulder lightly with his other free hand as he began to speak. His voice was his regular happy, arrogant self.....for the moment. "So............I'm curious. Why sneak this into my pocket when you could have just handed it to me? Oh! Better question actually!" His grip tightened and his voice dropped considerably, instantly taking on a darker tone but the smile and posture of relaxation remained. "Why can I hear my brother screaming and pleading to be let out?" His emphasis on the word brother made it clear that he was addressing whatever was out and running around in Haruki's body currently because he knew it wasn't his brother that he had known before the exams.
~Throw your fists up, come with me!~

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
Koto had decided to cast off his previous behavior...it was a tactic to draw attention away from his true ambitions...
He had decided on a course of action that had been brewing in his mind for some time...but he hadn't been able to put a voice to those feelings until...he found something besides his own pride and honor to protect.
He thought of little Cheria...so small and gentle... placing herself in danger for the sake of an evaluation... He would never kill one so young and he could tell that Yasuhiro wasn't the sort...but if she had been fighting a less mercifull opponent her and the long haired girl would've been killed...
He thought of Senri... He had seen glimpses of a happy girl in her cherry red eyes. He saw the cage of sorrow and duty that surround that small glimmer of hope within her and snuffed it out like a candle in the wind. He didn't wnat her to suffer for the sake of power...power to help a clan that sowwed seeds of anguish where ever its tainted hand could reach...
Then there was Serene... As he walked into the holding area he thought of how much he'd grown to respect his rose haired comrade. He didn't care that she wasn't of Uchiha blood. Koto himself was of mixed heritage and he meant what he said about having her back. After their mission in Uzumaki territory he'd begun to see her in a different light. She had become, in his eyes, like a younger sister with whom he shared a friendly rivalry...someone he respected and trusted...the lithe, toned, half naked beauty heading to the gambling d - ....Da ********> was all his brain could come up with...
"R-Rose bud?!" he stammered He simply looked at the floor and place his thumb and forefinger on the bridge of his nose letting out an exasperated sigh...
It was obvious...though the oldest in his team...this was his first time seeing a woman in this state of...dress... She was gone before he could say anything to her though...probably for the best...
He didn't quite know how to handle it...he'd only recently begun to fully accept his emotions and process them... He'd never experienced anything close to "lust" before and he could not identify the primal instinct welling up in the pit of his stomach...or the warmth in his steadily reddening cheeks...
God help him if he had to fight her like that...
It was a moment before he noticed Takeo and Haruki... He wondered how their fights had gone...
