Everyone else seemed to be fine, at least according to her mental checklist. Their Sensei was content to allow the clones to wait at the battle zone while they moved on. Fine, so be it. She would have rather stayed back, letting the genin handle the mission on their own. They could do it. No need to drag her into the current mess any further. But part of her was curious. Would another attack happen on this mission? Was the person behind all of this that determined? Or was it really just a type of ploy to get the team together?

Too many questions needed to be answered. There was also the matter of her upcoming lecture she didn't want to think about. Sure, she wasn't much of a team player anymore, but how could she be? A few dark images flashed through her mind of her old Sensei and the team she'd called family. It had been raining for a few hours in the area. Their blood had mixed with the mud at their feet. How any of them had survived was a miracle. A miracle, Areesia really wished hadn't happened. She'd much rather be with her old squad, but she was here now and nothing could be done about it.

With a small sigh, the Chunin adjusted her pack and fell into step behind the rest of the group. They would follow behind of their Sensei until it was time to make camp for the night. Then, she imagined they would get to talk more about the craziness that had befallen the group in such a short time as well as her own attitude towards the whole thing. She wanted to go out on regular missions again, ones befitting her rank. Of course, the battle that had just taken place wasn't something that normally happened to first time genin teams. Something was definitely going on. The inner curiosity was getting the best of her. She would stick this out until she had more answers, one way or another.
