Misty and Rocklee found each other and Misty followed the sound of his footsteps. She sensed him extend his hand for her to take, and ignored it.
"These are the training grounds, but I don't feel Sensei's presence anywhere." Rock Lee said after a moment of thought.
"Where's Luma?" Misty asked-- realizing that she was no where around.
"Was she following us before?"
Misty couldn't be sure.
Rock Lee hesitated. "We better find her....."
"But we have to look for Sensei!"
"I think we should meet up with him all together. It wouldn't be as glorious any other way! Remember we have to work as a team."
It sounded like a good idea to Misty, but..." What if Kurogane became impatient? After all, he did send us going in opposite directions!"
Rock Lee seemed to smile. "Well of course! It's all a part of the test!"
"Oh..."
Luma's voice came from behind them. "You guys?"
"Over here!" Rock Lee shouted.
"I think I have a lock on Kurogane-Sensei's energy!" Luma returned. " I went up into the tree where he had been waiting for us, and realized that he has very strong chakara patterns in his arms and legs. Do you feel it?"
Rock Lee was fascinated. "Yes! Just like visible footprints!"
Misty nodded,"Great work Luma! Let's follow the trail."

Fai crossed his arms. "Fine. I can see when we're not wanted. Come on team!"
Lucidia, Syaoran, and Sakura followed him out.
"I wonder what happened to Kakashi," Sakura pondered aloud.
Syaoran saw her concerned look and turned to Fai.
"Me? No, I'm not sure myself! I heard that a while ago he was spirited away-- never heard from again. He was on a foreign mission when it happened. On his way home, he discovered the blood bounty! When his team arrived in Kanoha, however, to report the glorious news, they also made the unfortunate announcement that Kakashi had disappeared."
Syaoran shuddered. "Do you think it's possible that the spirits of dead pirates and shinobi who were guarding the treasure... devoured him?"
Lucidia shrugged. "Or it's some conspiracy..."
Fai smiled. "Maybe one day we'll find him, though Dumbledore called off the search weeks ago. Now...... less talk, more training!"
They made their way to the training grounds, and Fai smiled to see Kuro-chan's team faring nicely. It seemed they had already learned the true objective set out for them and were on their sensei's trail. A strong group... "But we shall surpass them!"
