"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
As he stood there, his back against the tree he was using for cover, Sessou quickly pulled out a Chakra pill that had been in the container he had found, popping it into his mouth. Just to Survive that first attack he had been forced to use half his chakra, so for the first time ever he was thankful that luck had been on his side for a bit. If it wasn't for those pills he would be in a load of trouble right now.... Alright the girl had charged him with a sword twice already; meaning she was most likely a Taijutsu focused fighter, after all if he had been trying to assassinate someone without them knowing he would have used his specialty right off the bat paired with a sneak attack for the best odds of Success. So in theory all he had to do was keep his Range,.... right? Well lets see if theory could be put to use.With that Sessou quickly jumped out from behind his cover, ready for a fight. As he left his cover the boy quickly snapped his fingers. 'spark strike' As he did so the ground next to the girl suddenly burst into flames, while this wasn't the attack it was to give him a split second were he would could set up the real attack. His Spear. As the girl looked down, it was clear that she already knew that wasn't the real strike, However before she could look up the Spear of Longinus was already in flight aimed at Center mass, and even with her Speed it would at least Graze her like it had done with Takeo in the waiting area. "Bulls eye" Even if it didn't finish her off right away a wound like the one the spear causes down would at least slow her down and give him the advantage. However the grin that was starting to form on Sessou's face was quickly wiped away as he heard the girl let out a single sharp laugh. "Too obvious!" As Those words left the girls mouth one of her hands reached up and pulled the hood to her cloak off, while the other shot out in front of her. As the girls hood was removed Sessou could see his attackers eyes, bright red and with three tomoes, and a Spear... an exact copy of his own forming in her other hand. Only to smack his own out of mid air; the spear exploding around her into a hellish fire as it was shattered. "You're little tricks won't work, Like I said.... give up"For the first time in his life Sessou was actually frozen in place. That had always been his trump card, his ace in the hole,.... and it had just been smacked aside as though it was nothing. "................********> That was all he could manage before Flickering off into the distance. "Quite eloquent with you're words aren't you"This was bad, She could counter everything he did; she would catch him if he ran, and he was more skilled at swordplay.... not to mention with that Sharingan Genjutsu at his level were pointless against her.
Every Situation he ran in his head; theory, plan, tactic,.... all ended with him losing. She was playing with him the same way he was playing with the other Genin.... Every path led to death.... Sessou continued to run until he was out of breath and his body ached. Stopping only when his body told him he needed to. He had bought some time, Used the last of his chakra for a Shadow clone to buy him some time, and once that had been destroyed he would at least know were she was, and an estimate of how long till she got to him. Hadn't he been saying that he had wanted a challenge of some sort? "Heh..... this should be fun"
"...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
As Sessou Sat there resting, he took this small break in order to pop another chakra pill, as well as Eat as much of the dried food that he could manage. It was about Ten minutes before the Shadow clone that he had created had been destroyed.... Though it had managed to damage her sword a bit on the handle, there was that.... "So she can track me down and kill me in about ten minutes if I run" He muttered to himself, a faint smile starting to creep onto his face. Well he did say that he wanted a challenge now didn't he? Well this was a challenge alright. Do it right the first time or get killed off,.... "Poor b*****d couldn't even kill me himself" Sessou said with a faint chuckle as he sat there. He was estimating about an hour before she managed to track him down to were he was now, Running would only tire himself out, and not really add that much time to how long it would take her to find him; so there really wasn't a point in that. Looks like he had to make a stand here, at least he had time to figure out what he was going to do before she got here.
"How long did you think It would take me to get here?"....maybe not..... with that Sessou quickly look upwards, only to see the girl standing in the tree above him, She would have just killed him there but she announced herself instead; she was either full of herself, or didn't think much of him... or both; most likely the last one. 'She's just ******** playing with me now' As he thought that the girl jumped down from the treeline, Forming a hand sign as she did so, Sessou knew it was for a normal clone, Though as she made them, it became hard to tell which was the real and which was the fake, and when they were heading strait towards you with swords drawn that was an important detail. As they were about halfway down the tree. Sessou attempted to activate his Sharingan, however with the lack of chakra that wasn't possible, all that happened was a painful backlash of chakra that caused his eyes to shut closed for a moment,..... perfect. He didn't have time to Do anything other then dodge and hope for the best. He dodged the first that swung as it reached above him, only for it to vanish as it missed, Same with the second and third. As with the fourth; by now there were only two left. Both having landed and were now lunging one in front of the other both aiming a slash down at his shoulder. However the one further away was aiming..... a bit to his left; it wasn't much.... just barley enough to notice. She was aiming exactly were he was going to dodge too, SHE WAS THE RE-.... nope Just as that thought crossed his mind the clone in back vanished as well; the girls sword coming down directly down on his shoulder; opening a rather large Gash across it, hell he was lucky she hadn't managed to take it clean off. "Please tell me you didn't actually fall for that" She said pulling her sword back and swinging it downwards sending blood splattering to the ground in front of her. 'Crap crap crap crap crap' All Sessou could do now was pull a hail marry; throw something out there and pray it worked, so with that he quickly made a few hand signs; and just before the girl's next attack was ready He shot a mouth full of burning ash directly into the girls face. "You little pest!" The girl shrieked as the ash hit, must have hurt like a b***h..... good. If only he had enough chakra to fully use the Jutsu it could have been a killing blow; though even just a single mouthful was enough to send his body into '******** you I'm done' mode. It hurt to move, to think, to do anything, let alone fight or use more chakra to detonate the small amount of ash he had already managed to make. So before the girl could recover Sessou hid behind one of the closer tree's throwing a Kunai the opposite direction hoping the sound would make her think he had gone the other direction. At least he managed to hit her with her eyes open, if Ash got into them, she most likely wouldn't be able to activate her Sharingan, putting more strain on already injured eyes.... He knew he should run, either get more distance or kill her while she was recovering from that surprise attack, but his body just wouldn't let him,... all he could do was lean against the tree, and clamp his right hand over his mouth and keep the sound of his gasping for air from reaching her ears. "...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
God he was in a bad spot currently, a slashed open shoulder; out of chakra, and too tired to get away from his attacker; who just so happened to be a pissed of Chunin of some sort hired to kill him off. Well if your'e going to be good at something you might as well be the best, and Sessou clearly was the best at getting people Mad. As he rested there; back against the tree and hand clamped over his mouth he did his best to remain quite; He had managed to distract the girl for a moment with the last of his chakra, but he knew it wasn't going to last for long. Hell he was fairly shocked that she hadn't already managed to get back to cutting him to ribbons. "Kid, You know why I was sent here to kill you?" She asked rubbing the last of the Ash away from her face, her face now red from both burns and the constant rubbing that had been needed to remove the ash itself. There was a chance she didn't know were he was and was actually trying to get him to talk; showing his location. However before the girl continued her speech she grabbed her sword once more, and for anyone who could see chakra, and was looking at her. They would see a rather large amount pooling along the length of the blade; and with a slash, the chakra shot off; arcing off the blade almost like a whip; cutting branches and slicing tree's apart just to the left of him. I asked you a Question" She said before swinging her sword once more, this time on Sessou's other side, however this time the whip like chakra continued onward, clearing out in front of him as well as to his side; effectively clearing out everything around the tree he was behind. So she did know were he had been the whole time. "Because.... you have a thing.... f-for older Men and couldn't say no?" As he said that the tree he was on seemed to almost explode, weather it was from that crazy attack, or something else was unknown. All Sessou knew was that it threw his a** all the way across the clearing in front of him, slamming him face first into a tree trunk. He would most likely have a black eye to go along with a busted lip if he managed to survive this somehow.... "Funny but no...." The girl said simply as she started to walk towards Sessou, who had by now managed to turn around; once again using the tree's trunk to keep himself from collapsing. "At first I was just told you would be a fun little target, but once I started to Read your file it felt more like I was doing the clan a favor" She said as she strode across the clearing towards Sessou. Readying her sword for another strike, the final one most likely. "You're a pathetic little street rat, barely even a human being" Her words were now spiteful; she sounded just like Zarai.... "You take up resources, harass the royal family; abandon missions to go about your own business, and can't even work in a team correctly, you're essentially garbage" As she said those words she was now standing only a few feet in front of Sessou. Who had slid down the tree trunk, and was now sitting on the ground. "A-and.... what that make you.... a ******** garbage woman?" He managed to spit out in reply to the girl. "Hell you even lost your'e eye to the Senju clan, how pathetic can you be?" She asked squatting down in front of Sessou; before stabbing him in the shoulder, pinning him to the tree that he had been propped up against. The sound of a scream echoing through the forest. "Seriously""...But anger is like a Fire, It burns all clean"

  Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveHe sat stoic and unmoving pondering Seika's message. She was taking an awfully long time to answer and even longer pauses between statements. It was bugging his sense of calm, well the closest thing to a sense of calm the Stranger possessed. However, she was calm and regarded him with a careful and cold gaze. In truth it was something that brought him peace, in that she was treating him differently than everyone else."Patience... ugh. I loathe patience. Time is of a concern, if we are to even begin negotiations we should really level the equation. All of the variables are not accounted for, you know. Tick tock~"He idly thumbed at his collar careful of the needles. It would keep him from her desired goals, and his coveted release as well. He thought of an ingenious little half truth, that she honestly would not know the difference between. As she thought of her answer for her next statement, and spoke he smiled all the while."Well then, I do believe we can bargain. I can assist you in ridding you of this nuisance that we know as Karasu.. however, before we can continue I really do need this off. If you would so kind, elsewise I may take the damage unto myself and leave you with a nuisance in the Lady's... side as well as other unsavory unmentionables. You people believe me to be a fraction of the boy; when I am in fact held hostage and inn bonds.
So if we can.. PLEASE remove the collar. My neck itches, and I would like to be able to turn my head and lay flat on my back as well as several other useless frivolities I have missed in the past six days; like sleep."No one knew how the Stranger came to be and whether he was correct or not, but it would be one hell of a bluff and a certain damper in their plans if they were left with a perfectly healthy alive and well Haruki; particularly upset about how they were planning on killing him and worse yet separate him from Ijimeru. It was a hell of a gamble, but honestly in Senri's condition and with Haruki's anger and no care for his personal being in the face of defending Ijimeru's honor... Could she hope to rely on Umbra, this knew unknown variable to successfully defend herself AND Senri.
Her condition left her just as vulnerable as the poison racked Stranger with his unique purview for chaos. So before he would truly bargain, one thing was happening. The ******** collar would come off! Then he would have tea of the blood lake, he loved tea. And blood. "Does Hebi like tea from the blood lake? I hope so."

The key opened the lock of the chest as Takeo suspected that it would, though after the final grind and the release of the lock itself the key snapped in to, making it virtually useless. The lid opened with a deep groan, as though it was a monster that was being awoken, though not eager to rouse itself after such a long and deep sleep. The chest opened to a lot of toys, most of them were teddy bears, decayed and old, some were dolls in various states of dismemberment. If Takeo dug his way through the toy chest he would eventually find something that felt… out of place. If he had been removing the toys from their resting position he would find a few things that looked newer and more helpful to him than a teddy bear. Inside the chest he found scattered around various first aid supplies. One could assume that at one point it was all contained inside a little metal kit, but the person who put it there clearly was an a*****e on some level. Takeo would need to figure out a way to transport his findings, though… there wasn’t a lot, just enough to make a first aid kit out of.
While Takeo was looking though the toy chest he would hear a gentle thud to his left, if he turned to see it he would quickly note that the doll was no longer on the table. Silence filled the cabin once more.
Among the toys there was a strange little cube that was nestled in the corner. It had a bits and pieces of a picture that were all mixed up and scattered around. This clearly wasn’t here for the child, the device would have gone too far over her head. It was something like a puzzle cube, picking it up Takeo would be able to identify that there was something inside the little riddle box. However, this would take some time and a lot of luck to open. He did also have an exam to pursue, if he so desired…

Through the madness we find, loyalty is no match for power.
Say goodbye to your life, left to rot in your darkest hour.
Prayers won't help you now as long as you're mine!
Despite the obvious displeasure Senri felt from the Creatures words, her gaze did not waver. She was like a doll, pretty to look at, but otherwise a soulless monster that only knew how to suck the life out of others to fill that empty shell. "Ijimeru issss in intenssssive care right now...she will be ssssleeping for a very long time. I plan to have thissss messsss out of the way before she awakessss. If not, then it issss only a minor ssssset back." Her sense of calm was unreal. It was like there was something she wasn't disclosing, something that gave her the confidence to threaten and piss off a stressed out predator.
Suddenly it was visible- The malice in her eyes. "Asss for the collar...I have no intention of relinquishing it from your possession. Your ssssituation isssss quite unfortunate, but I cannot grant your requessssst. It will sssstay on until the exams are over." Her last few words echoed as if they had some sort of finality behind them. She was being her usual stubborn self, but there was reason behind her methods and decisions.
Damned. Watch the masses fall.
Burn it down, control 'em all!
The voices in my head suggest a less than peaceful side.
I'll control the world, one person at a time.
As I damn the dead, I'm trying to survive.
I'm not ready to die!

 Character Theme: Mugen no Hikari Serene blinked a few times as she saw the contents of the box. Her overly-tired mind refused to think she had actually gotten lucky in this situation. Food...There was actually a box of food just lying there for her... Part of her was pissed off, it was like a little taunt, they were giving her part of what she needed to survive this, just enough to grant false hope. Having a full belly didn't matter if she was slowly wasting away because of poison. She would take what she could get, but she was far from grateful to them. She still wanted nothing more than to slit the throats of everyone that had anything to do with this stupid test.
Serene took the entire bag of food out of the chest, opting to put it somewhere safer. The hole where her casket used to be was still the best place to hide anything, so she would keep anything she didn't have on her person there. For now, she ate what she needed. It felt good to get some of strength back, not to have to sleep with an empty stomach...it was already difficult enough with the poison and the collar...

Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveThe Stranger narrowed his eyes and decided to be as obstinate as Hebi was being. He knew all too well her ire for Karasu; so he removed his mask. As he did so he realized this would be the first time Umbra actually had seen his face and she would see he look identical to Takeo, save for a few minute details that required immediate range or the Sharingan to discern.
He smiled crookedly at her much like Haruki used to and shook his head as he interlaced his fingers in his lap."I'm sorry I really don't think so. You allowed your pet to get through, and quite honestly if he is a cut above the rest he should have had twice the restrictions anyone else has. But he had leeway, the same leeway.. well the same thing Ijimeru did for... Haruki."He may a gesture to himself minutely, however as angry as she would conceivably be about it; her actions had not proven him wrong. He began to point to her back and the chains that now held her fast."The ligature marks from being suspended by the chains are not consistent with you have been hanging for six days, more like three-four at the most. Meaning your last suitor was the one that decided to redecorate your back. And now you have your body guard? Please you aren't scared of me, but you are complacent to him."The Stranger pulled a scroll out slowly made another risky hand sign to create a crow clone, that was actually henged to be a crow. The scroll in question looked elaborate and beautiful, he gave it to the crow; then with a gesture of his hand the clone was off with the scroll somewhere deep into the island searching for the first person possible."What if I told you the princess did something awfully naughty with the crow, hmmm? What if I told you the scroll in question was a method of calling her to my aid, despite her condition. Now I assume the closest person for a few miles is the genius correct? What do you think he would do if he could summon and bring her here? Finally deal with her without penalty?
What if I have instructed my clone to do the the same if I have not dispelled it within five minutes? That certain ruin any plan you may have for her and throw are precious clan on it's a** wouldn't it? Now don't think of having her attack me, because I know even diseased and dying despite how she is looking at me; I can run faster scared than she can determined for five minutes. So... please. Remove. The. ********. Collar!
I have given you nothing to fear, I didn't even bring out your favorite kunai; I have been civil and have even listened and still I am shunned. If you would remove this one I would replace it with another of your choosing, I have wanted to help you! I don't want this body or this boy; but because the rest of the clan wasn't born a genius we are worthless. For someone who cares for the future of the clan, your elitism gets you nowhere. The idea was survival. I HAVE. The idea was to stay alive and manage the poison, find a way to remove it; I HAVE. You have the knowledge. If you didn't want anyone to win, you should killed us, but here you have shown favoritism!"He pointed at the empty collar on the ground in defiance, which could only belong to the jacket of the boy not present. As he shouted his blood pressure and heart rate speed. It was only a matter of time before he popped."There is no strength in someone bullying you into getting what they want, so I have played the polite diplomat but I am tired of it and honest running out of time. So I may just kill her a**, if I am going to die anyway what do I care?"He hadn't realized he was standing now with his hands wide, his chest gave a shudder, a spasm and he started vomit blood. Doubling over, he choked and cough on the bile that came up. Whipping the blood from his face he gathered his mask and look at Senri now, determined he was dying he activated his Perceive Intent jutsu to keep from getting jumped by Umbra despite the pain he was in. It was torture but if his last act was to kill Ijimeru, ruin Senri's carefully laid plans, destroy Haruki in the process so be it.
He back up giving himself plenty of room to maneuver and escape, or to bring Ijimeru here as a meet shield to the seven swords woman in the corner. Either way, he was coming up to the end of his rope; the Joker humor normally about him was gone. His hate was growing, and as he looked at her beautiful form he hated himself for being so enchanted by her. But his survival came before her goals, that is where Haruki and he differed greatly.
He looked coldly at Seika, hands loose by his sides in case he needed a quick handseal to escape."You know it is like don't you... hah.. hah.. t-to not belong.. and to be loathed... by even the body you are trapped in... if there is one thing this exam has taught me... it is to s-set this ********.. cough, hak--hrrk! World on fire.. So what's it going to be, but we both know we are out of time, tick tock. Is she worth Haruki on a silver platter... cough.. I will help you... but this is... a two way..s-street.. It really.. doesn't matter... hah.. if you think I am.. hrrk! Bluffing... but you can't... cough... afford to be wrong.. can you dearie..
So... what's it ..HARRK-COUGH!!! Going to be...?"Like any good illness as the symptoms progressed and you stifled them; they built up and got worse. In truth he could escape Umbra for the fear of his bluff; but in all honest he would just summon Ijimeru into a barrage of seven blades. All the better if she didn't see the body of her lover using her as a meet shield, and her best friend standing by as her new found bland hand destroyed her in front of the two things she truly loved.

Character Theme: KagachiAnother of the genin had been drawn in to Serene's 'camp' by the light from her fire. Serene was laying on the ground near the fire, her eyes closed, seemingly in an uneasy slumber. It seemed like the poison was taking its toll on the girl, and which made the other genin grin. He was much larger than she was, probably the same age if not a bit older. He looked like he could easily handle her in a normal fight, let alone with her sleeping as she was. The genin's thought was that if she was staying put the way she was, she must have had some kind of stash of supplies sustaining her. Killing her off would not only eliminate another competitor in this test, but net him extra survival supplies. So he crept forward, trying to move silently as not to wake the sleeping kunoichi.
The genin was no fool, he knew that any intelligent ninja wouldn't simply sleep out in the open like this unless they had some kind of trap set up. He activated his sharingan, looking around with his enhanced vision to spot any set traps. He was trying to only use the eye for the shortest possible amount of time, as not to unnecessarily waste chakra. However as he did so, he saw more than just traps laid about, he also saw what looked like spherical masses of chakra, most likely another kind of trap. He was thankful for his kekei genkai, without it he would have avoided one trap just to walk into another. The genin slowly bypassed the traps, a kunai in hand to stab into the red-haired kunoichi's sleeping form.
However, Serene hadn't been sleeping. The pain that the poison was causing her was real, it was preventing her from staying completely still. But while her eyes were closed she was tracking this opponent by the sound of his footsteps, being so close to the ground only helped her hear with more clarity. As he grew nearer, not close enough to attack with his kunai but close enough for her sword to strike, Serene snapped up, sword already in hand. She swung as she was rising to her feet, forcing the genin to quickly jump back or be cut in half by her blade. He opted to move back, thinking it the safer of the two options. However what he didn't take into consideration were the traps that he had to carefully evade beforehand. As he stepped back. his foot hit one tripwire, and from the ground a wooden plank rose up quickly, smacking him in the side of his head. That caused him to stumble where the underground chakra spheres had been. And as he stepped on that area, an explosion erupted from the spheres, him caught directly in the middle.
Serene breathed a sigh of relief, she wasn't certain just how much the poison would slow her down, but she was still well enough for now it seemed. Before she could fully relax however, a sound put her on guard, the sound of something being thrown her way. Looking at the smoke from the explosion, she saw a kunai heading right for her neck. She quickly cut it down out of the air before it had a chance to reach its target. She got in a combat-ready stance, gritting her teeth as she knew the other genin had survived the blast."Tch, damned b***h. I was going to make your death quick and painless, bun now I'm gonna make you suffer..." The genin produced more kunai, throwing three more in her direction then taking off, charging right for her with another kunai in hand. Serene blocked all three of the kunai, but it caused her to be unable to prevent the other genin from getting close to her. As he slashed at her with the kunai, she was forced to use her sword to block once again.
As the genin's kunai impacted against her sword, Serene nearly fell on her back from the force he put into his slash. Usually even against a stronger opponent she was able to hold her ground better than this, he was easily pushing her back. "Tch...this guy's strong...or has the poison really made me this weak? As the genin was about to throw her off balance, she slid her blade across his kunai, letting the friction between the two blades ignite the oil on the sword. The other genin, not ready for such a thing, had the flames engulf his hand, forcing him to instinctively drop his kunai. Having the advantage, Serene wasn't about to pass up the chance to use it. She slashed rapidly with her blade, attempting to end the now unarmed genin. However he was better than she expected. He kept his composure, reading her sword movements and focusing on evading her blows. The blade was certainly too close for comfort to him, not only that the flame from the blade was doing more than making him sweat, the heat was causing some real damage to him. "There's no reason for us to kill eachother just for a stupid rank! Just give up and we can work together in finding a way to survive this!" "Peh, yeah, says the girl that tried to lure me into a trap! I'm not dumb enough to think I can trust anyone in a survival test!" Serene gritted her teeth as he responded to her. She truly didn't want to have to kill him, her traps were for self defense, not to try to eliminate anyone. The last thing she wanted to do was what Senri had ordered them to, she refused to be that girl's pawn. But this guy was too smart, he knew that trust wasn't something you could afford to give when it came to survival... It seemed she didn't have a choice.
Ready to end it, Serene stabbed forward, attempting to hit the other genin center-mass with her sword. He, however, surprised her, sidestepping in time that it barely scraped him, and with one hand grabbing onto the blade as with as much force as he could. He screamed in pain as the blade dug into his fingers, and the flames began to burn his flesh, but it did its job. Serene in her weakened state couldn't easily gain the force to break her sword from his grasp. With his other hand, he aimed a powerful backhand directly for the side of Serene's face. Serene easily saw it coming, but evasion at this point would mean abandoning her sword, something that would quickly change the momentum of this battle out of her favor. This guy was already much stronger, and the poison was already heavily effecting Serene's speed and coordination... losing her sword to him would be a fatal mistake. So she simply tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword as much as she could and braced herself for the impact. This guy...certainly was strong. As he hit her, Serene was completely rattled, her balance was shaky and she was seeing stars, however she managed to keep her grip on her sword. Unfortunately, the genin wasn't going to sit there and let her recover from the blow. Before she could reach, a powerful knee attack found its way to her stomach, completely knocking the wind out of her. And as she doubled over in pain, the genin brought his hands together, delivering an ax handle smash to her back, driving her face down into the ground.
As she landed on the ground, Serene tried to catch her breath, she felt like all her strength had left her after taking those blows. "Sorry babe, this is survival of the fittest here. Can't exactly go easy on ya..." The genin stretched his injured hand, pain showing on his face as he did. He then reached for another kunai, ready to stab it with all of the force he could muster into the base of Serene's neck and end her. Serene, at the same time, knew that she needed to move right away or she was dead. Taking a deep breath, she gathered all of the strength she could. As the same time her opponent stabbed down, she quickly rolled over, the kunai missing her as she stabbed her sword upwards towards her attacker. "I didn't want to kill you...but if you're leaving me no choice...then I won't show any mercy.." The flames on the sword had died out, lucky for the other genin, who had gotten pierced through the chest. Serene used his initial shock to rise to her feet, but then as she said, she wasn't showing any mersy. She went to drive the sword deeper into him, the blade wasn't yet piercing out of his back, once it was, it would be sinple to split him in half and bring this fight to a definite end. However as she drove forward, he stepped back, his hands on the blade trying to pull it out before it went any deeper and damaged him more. Serene pushed him so his back was against a tree, and with him having nowhere else to retreat to, she drove the blade deeper, the man screaming as it cut further into his flesh.
Serene, unfortunately, became too focused on just her blade. As she continued to put her weight into pushing the blade forward, she didn't see her opponent lift one of his legs. He placed his foot up to Serene's chest level and pushed with all of the force he could muster. Serene' surprised by this, was knocked on her back, rolling a short distance before coming to a stop, once again lucky to still be holding on to her sword. She was certainly getting tossed around like a rag doll in this fight. Serene tried to make it to her feet as quickly as possible, being ready before her opponent was of utmost importance.
When Serene made it to her feet, her opponent still seemed occupied with the blood that was dripping out of him, it was the perfect time to charge in and finish him off. However, as Serene went to grip her sword, something happened. A pain, a horrible burning pain just filled her lungs. She tried to ignore it, but within a second it seemed the pain became unbearable. Her grip loosened on her sword, letting it drop from her hands to the ground. Serene grabbed herself as the pain got worse and worse. She started coughing, blood flying from her mouth with every painful cough. The pain was so bad that she couldn't even stand after a few seconds. "Damn it! This damned poison...Not now...please not now!" It had been clear from the beginning of the fight that the poison had been effecting her much more than the natural born Uchiha. Her Aramori heritage, it made her much more susceptible to poisons, her body wasn't nearly as good at fighting them off. And that damn poison seemed to have immobilized her at the worst possible time. She tried to stand, reach for her weapon, do something, but all that seemed possible was writhing in pain as she continued to cough up blood.
The other Genin looked towards her and knew that he had won. The poison had grabbed ahold of her and stopped her from being able to fight. But he could already feel himself weakening from the blood he was loosing. With the poison still flowing through him as well, less blood meant it would just be effective faster. He needed something, some medical supplies or something, and fast. He was sure this red-haired girl had it stashed somewhere, and he didn't have time to find it. As the girl continued to writhe in pain, he took her sword in one hand, while he lifted her up by the hair with the other, moving her so her back was to the tree that he was previously pinned against. "Now, I know you've got some supplies around here... Tell me where they are and I'll end your suffering. Piss me off and I'll add to it..." As she heard his words, Serene fought through the pain and opened her eyes, staring defiantly at the Uchiha's own eyes. She wasn't saying anything, but the look she was giving...it was almost like she was saying 'if I'm going to die, I'm going to make sure you join me'. The genin knew he didn't have time for these games, looking once more to his wounds. In anger, he took the hand holding the sword and stabbed the sword into the ground beside him, and then balled his fist up. He launched a full velocity punch into Serene's stomach. "I don't have time for these damn games! Tell me where the hell you've got your stuff stashed!" He waited a few seconds before he launched another devastating punch to the same spot.Between the burning in her lungs and the blows to her gut, It took Serene quite some time to recover enough to speak. Her vision was already getting blurry, and the pain was starting to be replaced with a sensation of numbness... "*cough* H-heh...I...I've got...supplies hidden...v-very...*cough*...very close...*cough cough*...But you'll never find them...*cough*...Not a single one..." Serene already knew that she didn't have the medical supplies he was so desperately looking for, all she had was rations. But she certainly didn't see a way she was surviving. Even if he did survive his wounds he would never find the rations she had hidden underground, only her kekei genkai would let her travel to where they were. So he would get absolutely nothing from his victory here...nothing but some bleeding woulds that would eventually kill him. "I told you...neither of us had to die...but you didn't listen...and now we both *cough* both get to die..." The genin was starting to feel lightheaded, he couldn't tell if it was from the blood loss or just the panic of not finding the supplies he needed. In his anger, he delivered one more powerful blow to Serene before letting her drop to the ground.
As Serene was face down on the ground, the genin grabbed her left arm behind her back and began to pull it. "I told you I wasn't playing games! Now start speaking before I break your ******** arm!" As he continued to apply pressure, there was little Serene could do but scream. There was a sickening pop as the bones in her arm seemed to just shatter, she couldn't even grip the arm in pain, all she was able to do was scream. The other genin released her in frustration. As he stepped away, he misstepped, falling to a knee. It was clear he was beginning to feel a little woozy. When Serene saw him fall a knee, even through her pain she found the chance to taunt him. All she did was laugh...inbetween the pain and coughing up blood, she still managed a little laugh to make fun of his misfortune. As he heard her weak laughter, the rage on the genin's face was apparent. "Who the ******** do you think you're laughing at? Shut the ******** up!" He walked up to her and kicked her with all of his might, doing so repeatedly in his frustration. Once he had tired himself out, it didn't matter, because Serene couldn't even feel the pain anymore. Her eyes had already started to gloss over, all the feeling in her body had started to leave her, her breathing had begun to slow until it was almost nothing. The only thing she could feel was the heartbeat in her chest slowing. There wasn't anything left to do but rest...just close her eyes and rest for the rest of eternity...
But Serene couldn't rest. As she tried to, only one image popped into her head. The image of Senri, sitting back and toying with all of the Uchiha genin like her puppets, choosing who lives and dies as if she were a god. The thought of her existence just made Serene's blood boil...the fact that a foul demon like her would still be there, lording over others prevented her from accepting the rest she deserved. The pain that had faded seemed to come back full force, her breathing, as labored as it was, began to pick up speed once again. Serene grit her teeth, forcing herself to her feet with strength that even she didn't think was possible to have. She was unsteady on her feet and only had use of one arm, but she was up. "W-what the hell...how are you still...Tch, forget this, I'd ending you once and for all..." The genin grabbed Serene's sword, ready to use it to finish her off. As he made his way towards her, it was clear his loss of blood had greatly slowed him, but he was nowhere near as slow as Serene was. As he slashed, she was barely able to get out of the way of even his slowest slashes, she took slashes across her legs, stomach, chest, arm, and eve her face, but she seemed to move just enough to make sure each wasn't fatal. Then, as the enemy wend for a vertical slash, Serene raised her right arm, letting the bracer she was wearing catch the blade. Then with as much force as she could muster, she headbutted the opposing genin, hitting him as hard as she could in the face. She managed to hit him directly in the nose, stunning him by braking the bone there. Then she quickly reached for the hilt of the sword that was in his hand. She didn't try to wrestle it free from him, she still had nowhere near his level of strength. But he didn't know everything about her weapon, namely the dagger hidden in the hilt. She grabbed what seemed like just the bottom of the elongated hilt, and grabbed the hidden dagger. She quickly flipped it into position and stabbed it into the man's torso. She didn't stop after one stab, she kept stabbing, one after another, seemingly she wouldn't be satisfied until she was sure he had breathed his last breath.
Her opponent laid there, a bloody mess, and she was sure of it. Serene sheathed her sword and placed it back at her hip. She looked in a direction and started walking, not worrying about the poison or her weakened state. It didn't matter. Thise stupid test didn't matter. All that mattered was seeing Senri's severed head roll at her feet, and she wouldn't allow herself to die until then, she didn't care if her body wanted to quit on her and succumb to the poison, she wouldn't let it.

Through the madness we find, loyalty is no match for power.
Say goodbye to your life, left to rot in your darkest hour.
Prayers won't help you now as long as you're mine!
There was a tired look in Senri's eyes that reflected through the killing intent that oozed from her body. Despite all the accusations, she remained in a state of calm- Just as expected. Her gaze slowly wandered over to Umbra. A gesture Sylne recognized and responded to. The snake coiled around Umbra's shoulder began to move, hissing something undecipherable in her ear, something only Umbra and Senri could understand.
Turning her attention back over to the Creature, Senri's fingers managed to twitch ever so slightly. It was hard to tell if she annoyed or just uncomfortable with the situation. She spoke with a great deal of animosity. "You ssssspeak of favoritissssm when you know nothing about the collarsssss and how they work. Again, you have jumped to conclusionssss- Jusssst like when Haruki ssssslit my throat when I wassss only trying to help Iji-ssssama. I'm sssstarting think that wassss you though..." Senri chuckled darkly as her gaze dropped to the ground.
"I am not dangerousssssly vague becausssse I enjoy vexing people. I was under the asssssumption that people are sssssmart enough to figure out the hidden truth within thissss exam, but I guessss I overessssstimated everybody if thisssss issss how all of you feel." She grit out through her teeth as her head lowered just below her shoulders. The lake around them had started to drain through the soil- like it was being absorbed by something. Senri managed a weak smile as she closed her eyes.
"The difference between you and me.....issss that I do not care if I am loathed or hated. I am a tool, and I too am expendable. All of my actionssss thussss far are a result of what I have been ordered to do by the Clan Lord himssssself. ....I....am not sssstrong. I am here becausssse I am able to do what isssss needed when the time comessss, regardless of how many come after my hide. It matterssss not....to me. I will become....the thing they hate.....in the end.....it will.....not matter.....because I will most.....certainly....." Senri cut herself off, running out of breath. Her breathing had gotten more labored, but that did not detour from the fact that she could still be very dangerous with all of that chakra running through her body. Though at the moment she didn't really seem interested in fighting the Creature. "I sssstand by what I sssssaid, but I....guarantee you will have.....killed her for nothing."
Damned. Watch the masses fall.
Burn it down, control 'em all!
The voices in my head suggest a less than peaceful side.
I'll control the world, one person at a time.
As I damn the dead, I'm trying to survive.
I'm not ready to die!

 ~Fire is my soul.....~
Takeo figured the key was going to quit on him, but since this was the only locked thing that he had found he wasn't too worried about it. The inside of the chest was what he was hoping for. Medical supplies were the best possible thing too. They might not cure him but they would help his case.
As if on cue, his head seemed to split open with pain as if someone had shoved several nails into his brain. He screamed in pain and fell against the chest from the intense cranial explosion of agony. He pushed off of the chest to lay next to it, gasping for air. The pain was receeding, but it left him laboring for air. As if to make matters worse, he felt his lungs burn and his air pathways fill with blood. Not having the strength to lift his arms to his mouth, he turned his head to the side and coughed blood until he could get enough air to his lungs.
How long he remained here, he lost track, but when he regained thought he rose up and searched through the chest to remove all of the useful items. He found everything a normal first aid kit would have in it. He wiped the dried blood from his face and put most of the stuff in his pouch. Some of the bigger stuff he wasn't sure what he was going to do with, namely the bandages and such. He picked up it up and found his pouch was bursting but it fit everything. He grabbed the puzzle box as an after thought. Not sure if it would have any more use except to sate his curiosity.
The thud from before shot through his mind and for a moment he looked around panicked. Nothing had changed except......the doll was gone. He headed out of the room and then the house quickly, not wanting to remain there for much longer. He began to walk in no particular direction, hoping to find something to eat, or someone to steal food from. Breathing was a choir for him, but at least it wasn't crippling......
~..........and it burns brighter than yours.~

Not far from Koto, there was a gravely scratching sound before the trees shook once more, though with his focus far more keen on his surrounds he would see that there was indeed two separate bushes that where moving. A mound of dirt started to move and pushed the bushed up from their roots. The first thing that would hit him was the foul stench of decay and the sounds of throaty groaning that seemed to echo unnaturally in the forest that was surrounding them. What was surely once a pair of ninja raised their atrophied feet and looked around till they spotted the young man. What was supposedly drool slowly seeped out of the bottom of their jaw, though their remaining stained teeth. Their wounds were obvious upon inspecting them, these wretched creatures didn’t have a peaceful nor clean death. With solid white dead eyes they locked onto the source of what smelt so delicious to their decayed and dead senses.
Suddenly they dropped to all fours like an animal and pushed off with their legs, running on all fours like a dog, they were able to close in on Koto surprisingly quick. Their fingers were broken and jagged, strips of rotting flesh desperately clung onto the digits and they stampeded close to their intended target. Damn these things were quick. If Koto waited for them to come to him he would get his wish very quickly, if he ran he would find that these things were going to be hard, though not impossible, to outrun. Their limbs looked rather unreliable, most of their muscles looked gone, but then again, it was apparent that the looks could be deceiving. Things didn’t get back up after being killed naturally after all.

As Takeo bolted from the house, childish giggling could be heard from where he left. Running into the thick fog with his treasure in hand, he would soon find out that wandering blindly did little to help ones sense of direction. The area surround him was eerily quiet and still as the grave. There were no bugs, nor were there birds to break the silence, the only sounds the sounds of his boots as he trampled though the swamp. It was a bugger to try and see in the fog, finding ones footing could be somewhat troublesome as well. After what seemed like hours wandering in the swamplands Takeo would come across a hanging corpse from a tree. The jaw of the individual was torn almost clean off, his eyes removed to create a horrific death mask. Empty, gapping eyes started at Takeo as the limp figure was suspended from his position in the tree. His torso has been violently torn open by someone or something, his intestines removed and his hands nailed to the trunk of the tree. This was clearly a senseless murder or some sort of mauling as all of the man’s possessions were still on his person.
Including a water pouch full of water.
The water smelled fresh, it smelled as though there was nothing wrong with it and tasted just like water. There appeared to be no tampering with the water. If Takeo took the water and continued walking, he would find himself at an eerily familiar location. As the fog parted ways a little bit, the destroyed settlement that he had left was once more in front of him. Welcoming him back into its ruined embrace.

The travels of the sulking, brooding Serene would take her a little ways into the forest where she was eventually greeted to a small clearing. Inside this clearing was a small gathering of large stones –four in all- each pointing roughly representing the four major directions. Each of these stones had what appeared to be an alter in front of it and in the middle of these of stones was a sarcophagus. If she decided to inspect the alters of the four stone she would see each of them had a small bowl on them.
On the rocks there were symbols etched into them. Serene would easily be able to deduct that they represented four elements. The north stone held what was an old fire symbol on it, the east stone held the water sign, the south held the earth symbol and the west alter held a pillar, the symbol of air was etched proudly into this one.
If Serene ventured to try and budge the sarcophagus she would find it too heavy to lift, at least by herself. It seemed too sturdy to actually be able to break into as well.

 "Let no good deed go unpunished,"Umbra Uchiha Umbra’s gaze pulled off of the Stranger for a brief moment as Sylne pulled herself up and whispered into her ear what she was expected to do. Umbra made no gestures spare raising her right fingers up and concentrating for a moment. A cloud of blue tinted smoke erupted from underneath her feet and she was gone when it dispersed. Senri’s serpent had translated the task that its master wanted and she took off after her target, why Senri wanted that bird stopped and the scroll capture was beyond her, but she would obey. She had disappeared right after she was told with no hesitation nor any sort of questioning towards her sudden change of plan. Umbra knew of the Princess, she gathered from their conversation that the boy could summon her and that the Princess herself was in… poor condition to be doing anything for herself anytime soon. What a pittance. Oh well, there was nothing that could be done right now spare follow the bird. Umbra stuck close to the tree tops and ran through her options in her mind. She could always try and fry the bird, but that would risk the scroll, and that would be a failure of the task that she was given. It didn’t leave her much choice, being so fresh from the first stage of boot camp, she had little in her arsenal of powers and abilities just yet. That didn’t mean that she was totally hopeless.
There were to main options, she could chance the bird till it landed and then kill it while it was on the ground, or she could try and take it out in the air and get the scroll that way. She decided that it was best to try and get the bird while it was in the air. Having already placed her swords back in their sheaths, she reached into her pouch and felt around her ninja tools. She definitely had enough Kunai and shuriken, her eyes narrowed as she watched the bird for a moment. She pulled out a fistful of shuriken and readied them in between her fingers. She would have to time her throw with the beating of its wings, if she threw them randomly then the crow would just dodge. She patiently followed and times how long it took for the crow to beat its wings. That was her opening. The crow wouldn’t likely be able to manoeuver mid flap. When she got her window of opportunity and the timing, she launched her Shuriken at it. Hoping to take out the bird so that she could fetch the scroll for Senri."Let no evil deed go unrewarded."
