Seizing the golden opportunity, Muri gave the boy a significant look, flicking her head towards the grate closer to him before cautiously tearing apart the grate entrance to give her enough room to squeeze through. As the chefs began to scurry about the kitchen looking for their significant objects, the squirrel began to slink behind the kitchen counters over towards the table with all of the plates. Secluded in the shadow of the silverware drawer, Muri began to gnaw away at the wooden leg of the table while the chefs panicked and made plenty of noise gathering their things to leave. Her large and sharp rodent teeth made quick work at the narrow, elegant table leg. With only a soft creak as a warning, the table abruptly careened to one side as the weakened table leg caved in. All of the plates began to slide towards the side of the weakened table leg, and Muri used this opportunity to quickly dash away from the scene of the crime and away into the vents, hoping that if the janitor proved distracted by the noise, commotion and wreckage that her partner in crime would seize the chance.

The janitor was thoroughly distracted and moved to try to save the table but ended up needing to run out with the chefs. The vents air shut off suddenly and some of the vents were shaking, seeming loose. There were thuds in the vents behind them as if something was in there where they had just been but took off in another direction. It was loud and trying for a way out. There were also smaller sounds and squeaks, rodents stammering for their breaths. The rest was an eerie silence with the slight buzz of the kitchen warning light turning on and off.

Muri scurried quickly through the vents, hearing Rai making his way behind her. His bag seemed slightly more full, and the fact that he wasn’t waiting around the grates made her assume that he had succeeded in getting the lunches. She continued her way forward towards the great climb back up to the sixteenth floor of the building when loud thuds and thumps began to sound in the vents behind the two of them. She flicked an ear worriedly, trying to identify the sound and wondering if there was something in the vents with them. Another thud convinced her and she began to hurry her pace, hoping that whatever was behind them would be unable to climb after them. It was then that she noticed the soft hum of the vents fan turning off, and the sudden, oppressive lack of air in the vents as her breaths began to come a bit harder. Muri was torn between ending her transformation in order to not be a small, prey-sized animal in case that thing caught them, and staying in squirrel form in order to climb the vent shaft up back to the classroom. Turning into bird-form would be an utter disaster with the lack of air, so that wasn’t an option for scaling the vent. Opting to stay as a squirrel, Muri went into an all-out dash forward, feeling unnerved by the warning squeaks of nearby rodents and the loud thuds.

The banging got up to the ninth floor where the one left the vent. A low growl was heard echoing through the vents, unrecognizable as any known creature. It appeared it wanted to go after the larger creature, following the six year old as its steps were solid clacks of claws against the floor as the beast was suddenly concealed in the shadows as all the lights turned out. The power had failed and the glowing discolored eyes of the beast could be seen clearly with no pupils.
Within the vents, the squirrel would notice rats and mice skittering out around her to try to find an exit, some of them going through holes and leaping to their deaths just to get away from the other creature. -
Jane got up and turned looking at the pup and smiled as she ran to the wall and when she bounded off of it and landed face first in the mud she almost giggled finding her being stuck cute but she kneeled down and wrapped her hands around her body and pulled her out in one quick jerk. She then sat down with the pup in her lap and started to clean her face humming softly. “I think we both may need to work on things.” She smiled and watched her and then looked up with a smile glancing towards the gate looking for her father taking care of his daughter while he was gone.

Muri let out a surprised squeak as Rai promptly bailed out of the vent, busting through a hole a little more than half-ways up to the top of the vent. She turned to look back but heard a long and loud growl sound throughout the vents followed by an oncoming flood of rodents skittering around her, desperate to get out. It would be very difficult to fight that crowd to find the hole where her partner had just fled through. Biting back a curse, Muri continued to dash forward making her way up to the top of the vent and then making the sharp turn to the vent’s entrance. She cancelled her transformation in a hurry, spreading clouds of stifling smoke billowing out in all directions. One good kick opened the grate entrance, and Muri burst out back into the classroom, visibly panting with the lack of air. Once she regained her breath, the girl pulled herself to her feet and then hurried towards the classroom door, wrenching the doorknob and unlocking the door. “Nicked the lunches, teach! Mission still underway. SNAFU.” With that statement, the young student was gone, hurtling into the hallway and towards the stairwell.
Muri had no idea where Rai had ended up, but guesstimated that given how long they had been climbing and how much time it took her to get to the top that he would be anywhere from the 13th floor to the 7th. She rushed down the stairs, taking two steps at a time and going as fast as possible since she was no longer worried about getting spotted by anyone. If the criminal ninja was wandering the corridors, she’d be sensed and killed regardless of how much care she took to conceal her presence, so why bother? Once Muri reached the 13th floor, she began opening each door and dashing out into the stairwell, listening for any telltale sounds of the creature following them before deciding that he hadn’t landed on the 13th floor and darting back into the stairwell to try the next floor below.

Mr Haruno saw her burst out painting and then noticed the issue. He ran over to the windows and opened them to allow air flow. He then yelled as she went out the room, “BE CAREFUL!” He let the door remain open and watched the door, the rest of the class cowering in the corner at his command.

Tsukiakari felt the mud be removed from the majority of her face. She huffed out air and mud flew out before she was being cleaned. She whimpered and closed her eyes. Kurama padded up and eyed over the situation and said, “She did it again, didn’t she?” He then went over and knelt down, motioning to her to hop up onto his back so they could take off. He said, “We’re heading somewhere. Feel free to put her either on my back or on the ground. She is fast.” He took deep even breaths.

She smiled at him and stood up setting her on the ground wanting to see her speed with a smile. She smiled to the beast and gently climbed on her back and gently gripped onto his fur tight enough that she would not fall off but not so tight it would hurt and took a deep breath. “Ready to leave when you are”

Muri dashed into the hallway of the twelfth floor, using the flashlight keychain from her backpack to illuminate the darkened stairwell and hall. Again, it seemed as though the whole floor had been evacuated. There was hide nor hair of either the six year old student or the mystery beast chasing them. The girl opened a window out to help get some air flowing through the hall before continuing on to methodically search the 11th floor. “Oi!! Lofty, are you hiding out over here?” At this point, she hoped that he hadn’t managed to sneak past her somehow or started eating the lunches himself. Receiving no response, she turned to head back to the stairwell and try another floor.
The 11th floor failed to turn up what she was looking for, but to her surprise the walls and outside of classroom doors were covered in deep gouge marks all parallel to each other. The girl’s eyes narrowed, they looked like claw marks except what could be that big!? If it was the fox demon… She didn’t finish that thought because of course, what would an academy student like herself even be able to do to the fox demon? The room also smelled rather nasty, like dank animal mixed with something significantly foul, so she opened another window and took a deep breath of fresh air before hurrying on. The 10th floor had neither of them there either, but in addition to the claw marks she had seen there were also large mounds of (presumably) moist, brown filth which Muri avoided like the plague to get to the window and make a sufficient search of the hallway floor. There were several classrooms opening out into the hall, but she didn’t bother trying to go in and instead called out once more. She was seriously beginning to wonder whether Rai had just run up the stairs while she was out in the hall, and just what the heck had torn through here. Either way, there were still four floors to search before she gave up and went back to the classroom. After opening the window, she headed back to the stairwell to try another floor.

The creature growled as the boy grabbed the pencil, moving slowly towards him as it bided its time. The moment it saw him do the Horse sign, it began to sprint at him. Its maw opened and let out a loud growl that could be heard through the entire academy. It moved faster than the small boy but its body looked wide open. As it neared, fur and scales were visible.
Anbu are beginning to file in from the top and bottom floors to search all the halls of the twenty floor academy building.

The door to the 9th floor slammed against the wall as Muri flung it open, the paint on the wall behind the door cracking slightly under the force of her mixed enthusiasm and frustration. “Oi,” the young student shouted as she strode into the hallway, “Short-stuff, is this where ya—?” Her loud call was cut short by the distinctive sound of a bestial growl resonating throughout the hallway from alarmingly near by. Taking that as her answer, the girl quickly headed towards the source of the noise, hoping to either find Rai or uncover the identity of the creature chasing her through the vents. It was probably a very mean cat. A very mean and big cat. Darting out into the hallway, Muri arrived just in time to hear a thundering roar resound from the beast, which was most certainly NOT like any cat she had ever seen. The creature sprung forward, claws clicking menacingly against the tiled floor as Rai stood in a ready stance, poised to do battle with the beast with naught by the sharpened end of a pencil as his weapon.
“OI!” She called as loud as possible, shining the light at the beast’s eyes before chucking the small metal flash-light in the direction of the creature’s head to try and distract the monstrous creature and make it at least a little bit into being more wary, now outnumbered. With any luck, the creature would chase her instead, leaving Rai free to deliver the goods. “Rack off ya beastie! We don’t have TIME to muck around with ya!” As she shouted this, Muri tensed, hands beginning to sign at the fastest speed she could manage accurately, ready to either charge the monster if it failed to come after her or sprint towards the stair-well if it was diverted.

The creature had already lashed out at the small child, claws would be ripping through some of the flesh if the small boy didn’t move. It did that the pencil into right below its eye, not minding until the light shown on its figure into its eye. The scaled flesh was etched in small patches of fur, teeth sharp and covered in blood with a seemingly rounded mouth though straps of flesh held the sides of its mouth to hide more teeth in its gaping maw. Tiny slits on the eyes made tiny pupils visible through a multicolor scheme of bleeding reds and oranges, yellow glowing neon between the darker colors with a near maroon surrounding the iris. It would hiss lowly before a loud roar bellowed out once more and the creature’s slobber spat all over the hall. It took a running start at the source of the light and took a flying leap close to Muri directly at her, claws spread wide like a demonic rat with cat genetics.
