Yuki turned and immediately noticed Ryu charging at their sensei. While she didn’t have any physical weapons, there was no way that she was going to let him fight alone. After weaving a quick set of handsigns, Yuki turned and released a torrent of water at Yasei. It wasn’t particularly strong, having been a low rank technique, but she did have an affinity for water if the ease at which she learned the jutsu of said type was anything to go off of. “We get rid of him, then we go help Kenzo. I doubt he’s have let us go that easily, anyway.”

Yuki glanced at Yasaei, and was honestly conflicted. They were down a member that they would need to take down their sensei, but energy would more than likely be wasted trying to free him. The teen then shook her head to clear her thoughts. “We’re a team. We aren’t leaving anyone behind.” After a few quick handsigns, a stream of water was then launched out of Yuki’s mouth. It may or may not have been formed using her own saliva as a base, but that was beside the point. After all, she could simply recover the water lost. As for a target, she was aiming at Shian’s side.

Yuki was hinestlya bit caught off guard by the information that Ghalan had revealed to her, and the fact that he was connected to the maidens in some way only compunded on that headache. The fox faunus was also surprised that he would reveal such information to team ESER, but that was beside the point. Right now, she had to deal with things as they came. “When I recieved the winter maiden’s power, her memories came with them. I don’t exactly know where she was at the time of her death, but Ozpin is a very likely canidate for creating the four. Yuki then raised her haid and using the powers of the season she now embodied, created a crystal of ice out of moisture within the air, It wasn’t exactly perfect, but she had come a long way, This would also serve to prove the validity of the words that she, Draco, and Ghalan would most likely speak. Turning to the others, her ears folded against her hair. “We didn’t exactly want this information to spread, so it was kept a secret to anyone outside of the team and the higher ups at Beacon academy, assuming that they didn’t tell anyone else.”

Yuki nodded at Ryu’s words and decided that it would be best to follow him . They were essentially in the middle of enemy territory at this point, and there was very little chance that they would get out of this unscathed. “Overall, I think we’re doinh pretty good. At the very least, we actually act like a team.” A slight smile then spread across the kunochi’s lips. “So, any reason in particular you two want to become shinobi?”

Yuki watched as Ryu wrote in the dirt and was somewhat curious as to what he was thinking. After looking over his plan, her eyes widened and a slight smile formed on her lips. It was a silent sign that she understood what was trying to be said. Of course, she had to speak in order to keep the trail muddled. “Assuming this works, it might also help us end this faster. We should probably get moving, though, I don’t think the targets will maintain their patience for long.”

Yuki’s eyed the structure outside the window and was somewhat impressed that something like it could even be built. Despite her initial curiosity, something seemed off about it, like all of the evil within the world would be unleashed should it fall. “And I thought Draco was a slave driver. The trek home will take us a few days at least.” The thought didn’t exactly help to calm her.

Yuki watched the others as they comversed and simply smiled. They had come a long way from the students that were launched into the Beacon forest. The fox faunus then glanced at Rei, making a mental note to talk about some things with her later. When Calbian made his complaint known, she she simply shook her head. “They aren’t exactly members of our team, but they can be trusted.”

Yuki glanced at Ryu and shook her head. “We still have time. We just can’t give him even a moment to think.” For that, they would need a plan they could contribute to. “Maybe we could try long range strikes. At the very least, he won’t be able to hit us in return.”

Yuki had only a moment of rest when she landed on the ground before Shian attacked. She couldn’t really do much aside from dodge out of the way in hopes of exhausting the wolf. She would also try to strike at the wolf using whips of water formed from chakra.

Yuki’s eyes widened when she felt a sudden force drive her upwards, and the fact that Ryu was the only one still on the ground still on the ground gave her an idea of what might’ve caused her impromptu ascent, even if she could’ve most likely done such a feat on her own. “Ryu, what are you planning?” The thought made her somewhat worried for her teammate.

Yuki simply sighed as she watched the members of team eser arrive. It would’ve been rude to involve them in their drama, so she simply pushed whatever troubles recent events might’ve caused to the back of her mind. The fox faunus then boarded the bull head that would take them to their true destination and glanced at Draco. “That is probably the best way to handle people like them, but know that you have people to talk to.”

If it weren’t for the fact that Yuki was used to Ghalan and his behavior when it came to herself and Draco, she probably would’ve slapped him after the first month of them sharing the same room. Having said that, a light blush simply dusted her cheeks. “Draco and I aren’t like that.”

Yuki finished the formation by turning to fill the remaining sixty degrees of their mock circle with her body. “Aside from the academy basics, I know a few suiton and genjutsu.” The jutsu themselves weren’t exactly high level, but she hoped it would be enough to help. As for Ryu’s other statement, she couldn’t help but be a bit worried for him. “Didn’t you say it would be best to not split up? I’m sure we could figure out a better plan.”

Yuki glanced at Ryu when he spoke and simply nodded. She knew what he was implying, and the genin couldn’t help but agree. “Honestly, workong as a team is probably the best way to approach something like this. The only problem is that we don’t exactly have a lot going for us in the way of experiance.” The girl then glanced at the two boys. “Either way, we need to come up with a more specific plan. Otherwise, he’d just pick us off one by one.”

Clayton gave a light shrug as he simply followed Luster. The fact that a major corporation was trying to essentially recreate a weapon that could potentially do a great deal of damage was not something that he really wanted to think about. “Right. That would make the most sense.” His voice was low, and the unicorn seemed a bit distracted with his own thoughts

Yuki’s eyes widened slightly as the relationship between their sensei and his wolf was somewhat established. “Well, this should be interesting.” The genin then followed the man, curious as to what they would have to do. She figured that it wouldn’t be that hard, considering the fact that they had only just been made shinobi.

Yuki felt her wars flatten at Draco’s response. “If you need anyone to talk to, I’m willing.” The fox faunus then turned her attention to Ghalin and couldn’t help but be a bit wary of him at the moment. “What I’m trying to figure out is how exactly you managed to get Ozpin to allow you to travel to where ever it is we’re going.”

Yuki was a bit surprised by the appearance of her team’s sensei and was somewhat curious as to what he would be like during training. “This might actualy work out.” The thought caused her to relax slightly, if only slightly. She seemed to get along well enogugh woth the two boys that they might actually be able to work together. Turning to look at the wolf, the teen was a bit surprised by the size of the creature, appearing to be capable of supporting a person on its back. “Is that a summon?” She had heard about ninjas being able to summon animals from old war stories, but she had never been so close to one.

Yuki gave a light nod and felt a bit more comfortable. “Yeah, but I don’t think the teach liked it.” She said, giving a light giggle as a few of those memories played in her head. “Either way, who do you think will be in your teams?” The teen wouldn’t mind if Ryu or Kenzo we’re on hers, figuring that she’d be able to support either of them. If anything, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be strong enough to make it past genin.

Yuki glanced at the other teen that had entered the room and couldn’t help but notice that they were the only three possible genin that had arrived at the hokage residence so far. After pushing that thought to the back of her mind, she decided to continue the possible conversation that might form between the three. “It’s good to meet you, Ryu. I’ve seen you around the villiage a few times, but you always seemed to have your mind somewhere else. I figured it would have been best to not disturb you.” After addressing the new arrival, she turned her attention to Kenzo and thought for a moment. A light bulb then lit up in her mind as she finally remembered who he was. “Oh, yeah. I think I remember you. You sat near the front of the class, right?”

As the morning sun breached her window, Yuki gave a light groan and lifted her hand to block the light. Realizing what time it was, the kunochi’s eyes widened as she shoot out of bed and rushed through her morning routine, “That’s right. I’m getting put on a team today.” The thought caused a slight smile to form on her lips, and while she may not be the best fighter, she was going to prove that she wasn’t going to slow her team down. Once she was dressed, the teen left her home and made her way to the hokage building. She used the rooftops to avoid the civilians who were getting their shops ready for the day ahead. It didn’t take her long to arrive at her destination and noticed Kenzo. “Is he going to be on my team? He seems nice.” The thought helped her to relax, but she figured that it’d be best to wait until she was called into the hokage’s office.

Yuki’s ears perked up when Draco spoke to her and felt a light smile grace her lips. “Oh, that’s ok. I’m pretty sure that would’ve still happened if you weren’t with me at the time.” For all she knew, they might’ve just knocked her out and taken her right then and there, so staying with her team was much more preferable. At the very least, this told her that she needed to find a way to break out of illusions. The fox faunus had also heard what Draco had said to Calbian and couldn’t help but be a bit curious as to what he actually meant.

Kyubi could hear a struggle in the distance and felt fear grip her heart. If Lethe was hurt, that meant that she was wrong about her. Not wanting to think about the worst case scenario, the bat pony moved into a large circus tent and hid under the seats. If she fought, then the darkness might give her an advantage.

Kyubi slowed when she realized that she wasn’t being followed and felt her heart race. This was just too much for her to handle, and she had no idea where she was now. “Well, this is just perfect.” Her voice was barely above a murmur, keeping quiet so as to not give away her position. “Ok. I just need to find the exit and get out of here. Lethe seems to have lost it, so I can’t trust her.” The bat pony then gave a light sigh and leaned against a stall as she tried to catch her breath.

Yuki was a bit surprised by Calbian’s sudden placement of his hand and simply decided it would be best to listen to him. “That’s understandable. You just met us, so it would’ve been for the best if you got to know each of us a bit better.” The fox faunus then noticed the reapperance of her two faunus teammates and could tell that something was bothering Draco. After making a mental note to talk to him about the recent events, she glanced at Ghalan. “I suppose I could visit my family later.” Her voice was barely a mutter, but it was clear that she wasn’t pleased with her time with Draco being interrupted.
