Team Cybele: The Hare and the Snake

Obana expertly dodges Houshi's attack. "Sorry big guy. Try not to die, okay?" She charges Houshi with reckless abandon. The genin realizes she's intentionally leaving herself open to be attacked, and he could have taken advantage of it if he had just been a bit quicker. The small girl throws a punch at Houshi's gut with almost as much strength behind it as the giant genin could muster. However, Houshi gets the distinct feeling that she's intentionally holding back. For whatever reason she seems to be punching slightly slower than her status would suggest.

Suneko finishes her technique, which provokes an attack from Amon. The loud deafening crash of noise does nothing to stop Suneko. The girl finishes her summoning technique, rolls up her right sleeve, bites her thumb, and smears her blood all over the summoning seal branded into her skin. A burst of smoke obscures her form for a second, and when it dissipates another person has entered the field.

All three genin recognize the new entry as the dragon masquerading as the red-haired kunoichi Meiling. Suzunabu still has its son cradled in its arms, and only looks around surprised at its new surroundings. The dragon wearing the girl's flesh turns to face Suneko, and the oni-summoning woman points toward Amon, Yousuke, Cybele, and Houshi in turn. "You're under contract still. One year and one day. Kill them."

Suzunabu looks to each of you in turn, then back to Suneko. "I refuse." Its flat-voiced refusal sends Suneko into a red-faced fury.

"How dare you?! You're mine to do with as I please, and that means you don't get to refuse! Now kill them you worthless dog!" Suzunabu stares at the oni-summoner as if it were looking at a particularly disgusting insect, but it turns toward Yousuke anyway.

"Very well." She says whilst addressing Yousuke. Yousuke can feel no killing intent from the dragon, and can infer that it has no intention of fighting. But even so, it still needed to keep up the illusion that it was obedient.
