I woke up groggily brushing my short black hair from my face and let it hang in pieces. I yawned and sat up. A knock came on the door. "Pantera, are you ready?" It was Hita; I glanced over at my clock. Fuck! I was supposed to be up hours ago. "Uh, yeah; I'll be down in a bit just go ahead." I yelled throwing on my cloak. "Okay." I heard the footsteps leave. Tch, sometimes I hate being so nocturnal.

I grabbed my kumogakure headband and tied it around my neck. The sick feeling in my stomach returned everytime I looked at it. I turned from the mirror and picked up my blade sliding the sheath onto my back. I threw the door open and ran down the hall; my shoes clacking loudly as I jumped over the stairs. I stopped by Pein's office. "Pein-Sama! I'm leaving!" I called through the door. "Okay, Pantera; don't be too reckless." He replied calmly. I sprinted through the main room. Tobi waved enthusiastically as I left. "Bye Bye, Pantera-Chan!" I turned over my shoulder. "Bye, we'll return soon."

Hita and Amber we're already waiting. "Sorry I'm late. Shall we go?"
