Making her way out of the forest did not sound too bad, and the young Uchiha was sure that if she did it quick enough she would be the one who garnered the greatest prize. This did not seem like anything of extra-ordinary difficulty, all they had said was to make it out of the forest, and perhaps, or perhaps not, her Sharingan worked, but she would not dare use it around these people, just in case. The question was, how the hell did that woman appear from under the table without them noticing? The girl needed to question this, as her size belied the appearance of being able to fit under the table, although when she crawled back under, Megami would attempt to take a look, stepping forward se would reach out to see, but nothing greeted her palm as she attempted to grasp it. Raising an eyebrow, she looked around to see if anyone else had witnessed the strange phenomenon, but to her surprise, everyone had vanished. Looking around with a little fear in her eyes, she attempted to seek out anyone. This was an unfortunate circumstance, as a group, or at least in a team with another person, one could easily strike a deal, as this forest had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, which probably meant there was more fun in store.

"Hello?!...Is anybody around?"

Truth be told, she had not expected anyone to answer that in the first place, but it was worth a try, to see if she could get some bearings in the place. Resigning herself to her own fate, she began to wander deeper into the wood, the strange flowers that had marked the path earlier seemed to have had thinned in numbers, but she could still see many of them hidden in underbrush and along the path. They smelled nice, made her feel a little drowsy and more comfortable. The trees around her grew thicker, and the path she was traveling on grew smaller as she made her way through the wood, as though the deeper in one went, the more the trees grew in density as though trying to strangle the life out of one. The path ahead was blocked, a tree had fallen, and she would not be able to walk or jump over it, the only solution was to get on her hands and knees and begin to crawl under the thick tree. The pines prickled the back of her neck as she began to crawl, and the darkness was all encompassing. Swallowing thickly, she proceeded, hoping for the best, but it was as though this tree did not end.

What is going on...?

As Megami continued crawling, the tunnel seemed to be sloping downwards. Soon it was incredibly steep, and before long, the passage was entirely vertical, making it impossible to continue crawling, and instead, making falling the only viable mode of transportation. However, as Megami fell, she would find herself going relatively slowly, as if the air was holding her up somehow. The pitch black tunnel suddenly flooded with light, as a little girl came tumbling down beside Megami. The little girl's dress was on fire, which was what was illuminating the tunnel, and she merely winked at Megami.

"I'm sooo smart! I set fire to my dress so i wouldn't have to hold to candle! After all, who knows when you'll need both hands free!" She explained, giggling hysterically. The girl then began descending much faster than Megami, and was soon out of sight entirely. The next arrival was an older woman, who appeared to be the girl's mother. She was holding her candle, however.
"Oh dear. Has my daughter gone on ahead? You know, i might need both hands free to catch her..." The woman muttered, before tilting her candle into her hair, which caught fire almost immediately. With that done, the woman smiled at Megami, before slipping away, descending as rapidly as her daughter had done, leaving a flaming trail in the air.

"Ridiculous, aren't they?" Came a bored voice, and very gently, a baby panda came floating down to rest on Megami's shoulder.
"Such stupidity is hard to comprehend... I should hope you're a great deal smarter?" The panda asked, curling up on the girl, apparently quite comfortable as they floated down the dark passageway.

The air around her felt constricting, as the forested world turned into something more earthen, as though she had clambered into the earth itself. It was dark, and she could not see, and she missed the fact that she had felt the breeze around she had crawled through the forest, and the smell of those strange flowers was distinctly lacking here, it made her a little sad. The tunnel seemed to darken as she moved, until she could even see her own body, and was crawling blindly down this seemingly never ending tunnel, which had taken a strange turn, taking her feeling of crawling straight into the earth to a new level as the angle of the tunnel began to steepen, making it so that she could not begin to crawl backwards, just crawling ceaselessly down this angled shaft. Normally the feeling of claustrophobia would have settled in by now, but she was feeling strange, a little giddy, eager to find out where the tunnel in the middle of a forest would lead to. Her hand slipped a little as she tried to hold back the falling feeling, having now entered another drop in angle of at least ten degrees, and she was sure now that she had begun to slid down against her own will, as the angle must have been far more than sixty degrees sloping downwards.

Trying to hold herself against the wall, curiosity took hold of her. She was not scared, not in the least, she had come too far to be scared, and now she just wanted to find out what lay beyond this point, the point of no return, as once she crawled forward, she would no longer be able to hold herself anymore and she would fall. Her hand slipped, taking the decision from her, and she was sent down the shaft while she screamed. However, she quickly realized how fast she was not falling, as though she was floating down this hole. It was a strange thing, but it was as though the air was holding her up from beneath her. She had only a few moments to get used to this strange new feeling as a light would appear above her, rotating her body in the air, she saw the speck of light as it fell down towards her, it was going to hit her, and it seemed to be on fire as opposed to the regular lighting she would see, but hey, she was falling very slowly down a hole in the middle of the forest and she did not seem to mind, she was feeling great, so this was just another thing happening. As the light came closer, she realized that it was a girl, with her dress on fire, and as she neared the falling Megami, she had a large smile on her face, it seemed as though this was the most normal thing in the world to the girl, and the Uchiha, under a strange influence, needed to agree.

"I'm sooo smart! I set fire to my dress so i wouldn't have to hold to candle! After all, who knows when you'll need both hands free!"

[/color][/i]

The young girl could not deny her logic, after all, the light was provided and she did have both hands free, what issue was there if she was on fire, especially when it did not seem to hurt. As quickly as she had arrived, the aflame youth was falling once more, past Megami and down into the inky blackness that waited below, the light she had spurned vanishing with her, leaving the blonde in total darkness again. Sitting in the dark, alone with her thoughts, which were nothing more right now that thoughts of this lightweight feeling, she liked it, it felt cool to float. However, she was again distracted by another light, looking back to where the other girl had come from, she witnessed another small, firefly like spec as she waited, falling slowly, trying to see if anything but falling flaming strangers would happen. It was cool, but it got repetitive, although she could imagine setting ones self on fire so that they could use their hands while performing other tasks was a great deal easier than trying to juggle things, she did not think she had the confidence to try that. Not yet anyway, maybe once she stopped falling or something.

It turned out the woman was not on fire, just holding a candle, which made her thoughts on the setting ones self on fire flicker a little. This woman seemed to be the girls mother, who was muttering more to herself than to Megami, but the Uchiha did not mind, she was perfectly content to sit there and watch the bizarre actions of these people who traversed this hole. Which brought another question to mind. How were there other people here when she was certain she had been the only one in the tunnel at the time, and she had sure as hell not heard voices or smelled burning skin or clothes. Well, perhaps the girl had set her clothes on fire after the tunnel, after all, the tunnel would certainly have smothered the flames, and she would not really have needed them anyway, since the only ways you could go were back and forth. She chided herself for her silly thoughts, of course no one was on fire in the tunnel, it was unnecessary, but then again, why set yourself on fire as you fall? It took one of the two directions away from crawling through the tunnel. This point however, was moot, as she was distracted from it by the words of the older woman, who looked strikingly similar to the young girl who had passed by, but with wrinkles and a more mature look to her.

"Oh dear. Has my daughter gone on ahead? You know, i might need both hands free to catch her..."

[/right][/i]

Perhaps there was a lot more to this setting themselves on fire thing than people had told Megami, as the woman brought the candle to her long brown hair and set it alight. It was as though her hair was tinder, the locks of brown bursting into flames rapidly, leaving strange whiplike movements of fire as she descended below the Uchiha, almost not having noticed her at all. That was alright though, these people were a little strange. The woman had nearly disappeared from sight when her next visitor began to descend, this one, disappointingly, possessing no fire at all, although redeeming qualities included a fur body and being a panda. It was adorable, and the fact that it was falling down a hole that was completely out of place for a panda habitat seemed to have fluttered from her mind like the plans for a sunday afternoon in summer. It positioned itself over her shoulder and landed lightly, making no disturbances on her body whatsoever as it did so. The fact that it spoke to her came of no surprise, as right now, it seemed pretty natural, although she could hear a distinct tone in its voice, she could not pick it, but it sounded quite smarmy, a very condescending tone to it, even when not speaking down, even though its first words were not particularly nice.

"Ridiculous, aren't they?"

[/i]

Megami had to agree, there was not nearly enough fire to make a lot of light for them.

"Such stupidity is hard to comprehend... I should hope you're a great deal smarter?"

[/right][/i]

Well, clearly it was a good thing she had not opened her mouth and answered his first question. But now that he spoke of it, she did have to agree, setting ones self on fire was quite absurd, especially when her daughter was already on fire, and could not have been that hard to see once one touched ground. Although speaking of which, she had been falling near twenty minutes now, and no sign of ground nor anything else other that the wall slowly passing by her had appeared. Oh, aside two people on fire and a talking panda, but that was hardly out of the ordinary.

"Well, they needed light and both hands, if lighting themselves on fire was the way they wanted to do it, then that's alright with me"

[/i][/right]

She was fairly certain this was not her voice, she sounded much more smoother and less giddy she was sure of it, right now she sounded as though she had just taken a batch of laughing gas and had not quite regained from the after-chuckles. Oh woe was her, this cute little panda probably did not think much of her right now. [/font]

[Technique -- Raiton: Hirameki no Jutsu (Lightning Flash)]
D-rank
Second Eye Activated

[--/10]

My eyes burned, and blearily, I looked around, not one stream of light entered the thick forested area that surrounded me, and I could fell the overwhelming dankness around me. In hope to try and shed some light on my situation, i charged chakra to my eyes, the crimson orbs giving me more advanced vision, but shedding no more light than a starless night. Shaking my head a little, my blonde hair was in the way, but in the shade, I seemed to have appropriated a more grayish tint to my curls, everything was difficult to see, and I could not move more than a few inches without the creeping feeling of the branches brushing against my face. Moving my shield to my arm and walking through helped, but it was nothing more than a little, as now my vision was blocked even more, and I could simply not see a thing. It certainly did not help that the creatures in the woods were making strange noises, and my over-active imagination spurned many an image of my own body being desecrated by wolf or something equally terrifying. Holding my hands in the rat seal, I began to charge chakra to my palms, ready to create a raiton technique I had seen Ayame do when the lights were not working in our house, which in our isolated part of the world, happened a lot.

The chakra between my palms exploded with a crackle, and streams of energy left my fingertips, exploding and crackling, creating sparks that riddled the air with energy and light. For a few seconds, the crackles of energy stayed in the air, but I was a little disoriented by the light, as I had not closed my eyes, the same thing that had happened when Ayame had shown me the technique. Blinking a few times, I tried to restore my sight as I moved, the light was still there a little, but it did not extend far. Apparently having Uchiha eyes did not make one immune to the flashing of the light. Again, with a little more intelligence this time, I closed my eyes and formed the seal for the technique, and the lightning between my fingers exploded outwards ,creating a flash that lit up enough of the area for me to be able to walk around, as far as I could tell, if i continued in the direction I was walking, I would reach the end of this forest, or at least, one end, and I would be able to get the hell out of here and go home. A short sprint it was to reach the end, but I made it, my eyes still watering a little from the cold air and the bright flash, but I was out. [/font]
