Fuyu 09

Fuyu 09

2 days have already passed. 

Those short 2 days, took every opportunity they had to test the willpower, teamwork and endurance of team Nagare. 

Soma let out a shallow breath as he panned the area that surrounded them, currently shrouded in darkness. “As far as I know, the team should be right ahead of us.” 

Ritsu, Fuyu and Soma shielded all traces of their being as they carefully watched another group of Genin gather their rations of water from a neighboring creek. 

“Don't get too much, it'll just slow us down.” the male advised, looking over at his two female partners. “Let's go ahead and try to find a Heaven scroll. I want to get out of this forest as soon as possible.”

“I don't blame you, this place is giving me the creeps.” 

Soma waved up both his index and ring finger to gain the attention of his two teammates. “Their guard is at it's lowest now, I think it'd be best to go at it.” his adrenaline started to flow to every limb in his body, preparing him to engage in a very anticipated fight. 

“Alright then boss.” Ritsu responded in a hushed tone “What's the plan?”

Soma grew quiet as he looked back over the hedge they were hiding behind. His eyes widened slightly as he scanned the clearing that was before them, only to see that it was completely empty. 

“Damn it.” he mumbled to himself, still peering over the ledge. “They're gone.” he added, standing up completely.

Fuyu's keen eyes looked over the landscape that surrounded them. Trying to identify the different trees, bushes, vines...bugs that thrived freely in the forest. 

“Alright, now all we're concerned with is sticking to the plan. You both understand and remember it right?” 

Fuyu and Ritsu nodded her head, raising up from her crouching position to station herself safely behind Ritsu and Soma. 

“Don't allow them to separate us.” Soma stated simply. 

From the shadow that shrouded the forest behind Fuyu, two pairs of hands came from behind her; one covering her mouth completely and the other pulling her torso back. 

“Do anything to alert your team, and we'll kill you.” a voice threatened, whispering into her tan ear. 

Fuyu let out a jagged sigh as her light brown eyes looked over from the corner of her eye to finally identify the voice to the male that mysteriously disappeared from before them just moments earlier. 

“Now, I'm going to trust that you'll do what I said.” he cooed, pulling his hands away from her mouth. 

Her eyes clamped together tightly, as she mentally scolded herself for being captured so early in the exam. Damn it. She thought to herself angrily. How could I have allowed this to happen so soon. A tear built up in the corner of her right eye, twinkling lightly in the sunlight that shined through the thick leaves and trees of the dense forest. 

“Hey!” a familiar voice called from over the heads of Fuyu and her captor, causing brown eyes to shoot open. 

Ritsu.

“I don't think what you and your team was all that fair but,” he paused, pulling out the Earth scroll and bouncing it in his right hand. “It ended up being to our advantage!” 

Panicked, the male genin scanned his surrounding for any sign of his two female teammates. 

He growled angrily, clenching his fists tightly. “What'd you do to Tomo and Sorano?”
