Welcome to Gaia! ::

He smirked hearing that the girl before him did some damage to one so big as that man, not bad... "Please, pardon my butt'n in...but ya mean ta say that this young lady over here is bein the target of a possible roll around? Sounds just dreadful...what is the name of the one she is ta be look'n out for again?" This could be good...to stage a little attack on that person and blame it on Nyas would surely sir up a bit of excitement. "That is, if'n I aint bein too nosey."

Miko looked back and forth between Nyas and Akimoto as if she were watching a ping pong match or something. As she watched the two fire comments back and forth, she did the one thing completely out of character for her. she kept her mouth shut. it really wasn't very hard, not with Taiki-sama in so close a vicinity. whenever she even suspected that his gaze might accidentally fall on her, she looked elsewhere. At Yoku, at Osaka, at the remains of her dinner, at the ceiling. Anything but the gym teacher.

Then the worst thing possible happened. he spoke to her. Not at her, but directly to her. As he mentioned her precious cat ears, her hands immediately shot her hands up to them, her fingers closing tightly around the fuzzy triangles.

"Erm.... A-a-arig-gato, T-Taiki-sama..." Her voice was a barely distinguishable mumble. She coughed nervously into her fist, not at all looking forward to gym tomorrow.

"Er, Taiki-sama.... is Gym class still cancelled, or will you be resuming tomorrow?"

Yoku startled when Akimoto shouted "BOO" almost directly in his ear.
but recovered quickly.
"He is different form the rumors, but still is dangerous" He said to himself.
"I had Miss. Onimu for class this morning, two times" He suddenly said.
"I knew she was dangerous when i just looked at her. She likes to see people in pain...She gets a kick out of it."
Sfter he finished he ate the last of his soup. What was starting to get cold and listenend closly to what Miko had to say about that catears-headband.
He was also very curious about that.

A wide variety of emotions played across her face at Akimoto's words. Probably quite entertaining to watch, to say the least. First, there was relieved happiness at the mention of gym still being cancelled. Then bored disappointment at emntion of an assembly. The the most drastic expression was that of pure, unadulterated delight at the mention of dodgeball.

Miko was not the athletic sort. She could perform most physical tasks well enough, and all, but she did not enjoy running or swimming or any of that sort of stuff. She didn't really care for sports. Except, however, dodgeball.

Miko loved dodgeball. Adored it, even. And with good reason. If there was one thing she was good at, besides talking someone into submission, it was that game. She was very rarely hit, and with a wind up, she could fire that big red rubber ball like a cannon. She'd done more than a little bit of damage to those who had doubted her skill, dismissing her as some silly kid in a cat eared headband. Doubt didn't linger long when you were flat on your back with a welt and a ball on your chest. Miko's eyes got a definite far away expression as she pictured playing a nice game of dodgeball; she could almost hear that wonderful, distinct bmf! sound of the ball making contact with her target.

"...All I'm doing is informing you about the future welfare of Miss Kitty here."

Miko was snatched back to reality by Akimoto's words, and she gave a gulp as she sank lower into her seat. Good thing she had eaten the majority of her food, as her appettite had been thoroughly destroyed. In fact, all this talk of Onimu-sensei made her feel a little ill. And despite Akimoto's relatively friendly demeanor, she was terrified of the man. It was unnerving having him sit at their table.

"Well, my first suggestion would be either,...." he picked up the chopsticks from the bowl and pointed them at Nyas, "...you get a math class, or..." turning to Miko and pointing at her, "...you get out of that class in a hurry. You might want to sync your schedules up just to really keep an eye out."

Akimoto dropped one of the chopsticks to the bowl and cracked the other one into two pieces. He dropped the longer of the two pieces onto the table. Flipping the smaller stick, he exposed the jagged end of the split wood and wedged it between his teeth.

"Damn chicken's too ******** stringy, always gets stuck in my teeth. But anyway, don't think I had anything to do with this. I'll try my best to diffuse Morgi, but that's like pouring gasoline on a grease fire."

Miko brightened up at such a prospect, her eyes lighting up.

"I could synch up my schedule to Nyas-sama's? Really? The whole thing?" Well, maybe Taiki was't so bad after all. He was still huge...and terrifying. But he was helping them out too, wasn't he? Miko was more inclined to be trusting than doubtful, it never even occurred to her to wonder about any possible ulterior motives.

Miko leaned forward, clutching Nyas' arm, and resting her cheek against it. Really, she'd like nothing more than to synch up her schedule with the older girl's. It gave her a legitimate reason to do what she longed to do all along...take up her new job as Nyas's shadow.

Cyndir grinned as Ayumi chose a sprinkled donut.

"Hai, I believe she will get along with Miko-chan just fine." he mused, watching her head off happily beside Sanzo. He smiled almost sadly. He wondered what sort of parent could willingly put such a young girl in a place like this. And such an innocent, charming girl as Ayumi? Nikuri was only about a year younger than Ayumiand he couldn't imagine her being stuck in a place like this...

He brushed his dyed forelock out of his eyes, and grinned down at Marcus. He handed the small boy a tray.

"Here you go...now, lets see what we've got..." Cyndir said, still smiling as he made his selections. "Rice, chicken...let's see..."

He finished getting his food, and his stomach made another noise. He was now regretting not eating that cereal earlier...and skipping lunch. He was feeling a bit weak from hunger. He handed the lunchlady his ID, and turned towards the table, making sure Marcus was following before sitting down.

"Oi, but I'm starved...this is my reward for only eating two bites of cornflakes all day...." he said, grinning as he seated himself and voraciously attacked the food on his plate.

Nyas chuckled at Miko.

"Hai, we'll get everything sorted out in the morning, ne?" she said, scruffing the girl's hair. "I always said math was evil. All those damn equations make my head hurt...And will ya quite it with the sama? Tags make my head hurt too." and she grinned at Miko to take the sting from her words.

She looked back at Akimoto. She still didn't trust him, simply because he was a teacher...but in all reality...Nyas didn't hold grudges. She simply couldn't be bothered. It took too much effort to stay angry at someone.
