Squad one's first test!

[Emiko Daishi]

Emiko thought it over for a moment, she had also seen Naruto doing something like that.

"Well, I would assume that first you would use a cloning jutsu, then the clone could perform a transformation jutsu.. or you could transform yourself into the bell and let the clone carry you? Or, we could use actual bells. I have a couple on a collar that I just bought for our kitten." She said with a slight smile and fished the collar out of her bag and gave the bells a jingle.

[Kamiko Kurotsuchi]

Kamiko pondered all of these. Then a little light bulb went off. "That last one. It's perfect! That way, if they get the decoy, it won't dispell and they won't come for a second attack!" Kamiko was beginning to fall head over heels for Emiko. Not just for her beauty, but for her smarts, too. He could... wait... now wasn't the time. He needed to focus. "Now, who should carry the decoy?"

[Emiko Daishi]

"I was thinking that both you and Haruki could carry a decoy. That way there's more than a 50/50 chance that the enemy would get a decoy rather than the real one." She said, she held the collar up to her mouth and bit off the two bells. She handed one to Kamiko.

"I guess that we'll hand the other to Haruki when he comes back, or if we can run into him." She whispered. She also handed Kamiko a long piece of string just incase he wanted to put the bell around his neck like she did.

[Kamiko Kurotsuchi]

Kamiko held his hand out to take the decoy. He tied it around his neck. "You're amazing Emiko!" Kamiko added a large grin, meaning "amazing" in more than one way, half of him hoping she wouldn't pick it up, the other half hoping she would. Kamiko once again had to shake it out of him. Now wasn't the time, but darn it, he could hardly follow that. Well, he would just have to focus on the mission more.

[Emiko Daishi]

Emiko had been busy with putting the string on the other bell when Kamiko had spoke. She didn't really hear what he had said and frowned slightly.

"Hm? Oh.. no I'm sure that anyone would come up with that idea. its really just borrowing the idea from a book." She said, finally registering what he had said.

She looked up ahead, and wondered where Haruki was. She also couldn't help but wonder when they'd have their run in with the enemy nin. She continued toward their destination.

"Will it be an actual enemy nin coming to take the bell, or do you think its Hana Sensei?" She asked Kamiko.

[Kamiko Kurotsuchi]

Kamiko looked ahead, and slightly down, trying to think. "I don't know. I don't think Hana Sensei would've left us all alone if there really was a dangerous shinobi about. Ooo! And, why would a dangerous shinobi want a bell? It's so easy to figure out!" Kamiko was really good at cognitive thinking. "Ooo! Or, the bell could be a special and valueable artifact that alot of ninja wanna get their hands on!" Well, there went his cognitive thinking... "Maybe Hana Sensei is out fighting that dangerous ninja right now! Maybe she needed to do that much more important job so we could reach a safe checkpoint!" Kamiko could definitely see both as an answer. They both sounded equally logical to him. "What do you think, Emiko?" Kamiko asked with a smile on his face.

[Emiko Daishi]

Emiko smiled at Kamiko, "I was also wondering who would want to go through all the trouble of fighting for a bell. I'm glad that you were thinking the same thing. But I think this is just a test right? So that means that the bad shinobi is probably a fake, or atleast its safe to assume that. Though I do think that Hana Sensei would be a great heroine, don't you?" She asked.

[Haruki Kaito]

Haruki who so far hadn't seen anything suspicious was going to return. As he walked towards the way Emiko and Kamiko were for the first time he noticed something... There were trails going to were his friends were... It wasn't just one person it was five. Haruki sweared as he had just been decieved. "I got to hurry before something happens to them!" Haruki said as he rushed back hoping nothing had happened yet.

[Kamiko Kurotsuchi]

Kamiko thought over Hana's thoughts for a minute. "Well, sensei's are trained super ninja's, so I think she would make a good heroine. Maybe one day you can write a story about it!" Kamiko was starting to think over the possibilities, but he suddenly remembered that he had to focus. He shook his head as if getting rid of distractions, and he continued on.

[Emiko Daishi]

Emiko turned her head slightly, she had heard a sound but wasn't sure what it was. A frown spread across her face, her eyebrows drawing together.

"Did you hear anything Kamiko?" She asked now in a whisper, stepping closer to Kamiko. She held the fake bell in her fist tightly, her other hand was still holding her cards. Quickly she stashed the bell into her side pocket so that she wouldn't drop it if a fight came.

[Haruki Kaito]

Haruki who was still dashing back too were his friends were couldn't help but too think that he might get there too late. "No, Haruki get a hold of yourself nothing is going to happen to Emiko and Kamiko," Haruki told himself as he hurried more.

[Kamiko Kurotsuchi]

Kamiko had heard something as well. He put himself directly at Emiko's side. His expression got serious and he put his hand on the handle of his wakizashi. He was ready to defend at a moment's notice. He kep-t his eyes on everything he could, waiting for the slightest movement.
