Hitomi heard the headmaster enter the living room and felt the breeze he left behind as he quickly left, telling her to stay put.  Instinctively, she leaned over and seemed to watch as he left the dorm room.  The fact that the headmaster was leaving in a hurry didn't so much concern Hitomi, after all, he could've been pulled away on headmaster business.  No, that wasn't what concerned her...  it was the sound of two wooden sheaths clacking together that got her attention.  Why would he need to bring his swords with him?  She furrowed her brow for a few moments, wondering if it was [I]Sin'chi[/I], or the [i]Headmaster[/I] who gave her the command to remain where she was.  If it had been the [i]Headmaster[/I], she would have no choice but to obey without question.

She stood up from the couch and made her way to her room, where she kept her own sword.  Silently, she picked it up and slid the sheath through a loop in her belt.

If it was [i]Sin'chi[/I] who gave the command, she would have to follow, as he was her roommate.  After securing her blade, she stepped out of her room and toward the door.

The safety of her roommates was first and foremost in her mind.  She let out a little smile as she felt for Sin'chi's energy.  He hadn't gotten far, and with such a powerful aura, he'd be easy to follow.  But before leaving, she called out to Amy, "I feel that we should follow him; he could need our help."
