The Hyuga child was happy to have her dog-boy with her on this journey. She trusted him with her life and knew that him and Hoshi would be at her side and at her back should she need them to be. It was nice to have members of her team with her. Her eyes then looked back the rest of the group and she had taken a deep breath while they walked towards the unusual metal hallway. At least now she knew how two of the people in her group were able to fight. She was not a fighter. It had been apparent with everyone that she had sparred against. They were all able to beat her. Even her training had been harder to just make it so she could try and make it through things and get out of it alive.

Perhaps it was because she was scared. Perhaps it was because she wanted to know what was in front of them, but her hands became a flutter of seals. Eight of them to be exact. She had been able to activate her Byakugan slowly with less and less hand seals. A fact that she had been proud of. Yet for some reason, she held off on making the last seal. She knew that if she activated it, that would be an indication that there was someone there. Like the many times that she felt when Dante had or when he felt her activate it. *Steady…* She thought to herself. She heard the movements of Kei and looked to him for a moment before she looked to her side and felt the small reassurance of Tsukikiba and Hoshi being there.

Silently she looked to Kei and felt that in some way she was expecting to be treated like the annoyance by him like her brother had countless times. However, that thought left her when she heard the slamming of the doors behind them. Her eyes went wide and she jumped startled. It took everything she had not to let out a slight scream. She felt embarrassed about it. How was it that everyone else in her group could be so indifferent about a situation that was truly terrifying? She continued to look about. Her hands still at the ready to create that last seal that she would be needing to activate her Byakugan.

Her thoughts then went to her brother. Did he take the first aid kit that she had put together for him? The extra food just in case? Was he alright? Her lips pressed together as she then pushed those thoughts from her mind. Things like that would get her killed in a situation like this. She had to remember that. Once more her eyes looked about. It was beginning to look like a creepy puppet show gone horribly wrong in this place. It made her feel very uneasy and she stepped a bit closer to Tsukikiba just to try and settle her nerves a bit; hoping that the friendly presence would help to soothe her a bit as they continued to move forward.
