The chattering increased in magnitude in terms of noise level, like as if it was getting closer, following it was a similar thumping, as if something heavy was banging against the cave walls, and along with it came a hissing noise. He was very unsure as to what was approaching around the curved cave corner, but the only vision he had was  slightly above him, in the space where his  lantern had been taken. It illuminated the majoirty of the upper half of the cave in the close proximity, but other than that it was no help. Mizumi calmed himself, removing his pants and replacing them with steady, zen-like breaths that were each paced evenly. He grabbed the hilt of his fan in preparation of what was to come, but he didn't expect that he'd have victory over the matter. Despite his small, balanced arsenal of Ninjutsu, he was still a genin after all, and he was not as powerful as he walked around to be. He walked around high-chinned, staring towards the skies where his goals lied, and everyone thought he was some sort of prodigal son. No, he was a normal genin, with more dreams and aspirations than the usual. Probably one of the few things that made him distinct was that he had fears, but one of them wasn't death. He feared pain, and other things that were quite obvious, but never, once, did he fear dying. The pain before death may have stirred a few fears in his factor but other than that, no; he would accept death as an oncoming honor if it knocked at his front door. And maybe today was that day. He didn't get the chance to even properly form a stance, before a long, pink slithering object could be seen pure off of natural view. Its bright color was the only thing that allowed it to peer through the object. it was about 20 feet in length, and flowed like a large, thick ribbon. He had never seen anything like, so instinctively, he moved out of the way, to his left, and began running the opposite way when then massive, golden pupils the same size as his entire body peered through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead.
