Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Almost every teenage boy in the town." Lia looked over at him. "Don't worry though. We only plan on getting Kouri, not getting in any fights."

"We'll figure something out. Probably sneak in the back of their warehouse." Lia smiled. "For a secret hideout, it's not very secret..."

"No, no." Lia said suddenly. "Tommy would never join them. He has to much self respect... and they are mainly fightling Kouri all the time and... I'm pretty sure he has a thing for her. You can just kind of tell." They'd finally reached the dock. Tommy wasn't there yet.

"We can wait for 5 minutes and then we'll have to go without him." She said, holding herself in her coat to keep herself warmer.

Thinking quickly, Kouri said in a stiff tone "Well if your kids weren't so STUPID maybe I wouldn't need to beat sense into 'em." Snarling, she lifted a foot, kicking at him. He got out of the way just in time. "This one bites!" He said in surprise. Glaring, she said "I do more then that! Back off!"
It only took five seconds until all the boys were laughing themselves silly. "Yer TIED up mate. How ya gonna do nothing?!" One boy snickered. Cat calls burst into the air, and all of them jeered. "Come 'n find out!" She snapped dangerously. Daring them to get any closer.

pushing open the door just getting back from work, tommy brushed some wood shavings out of his wild red hair. "mom," he said sofly, "i'm back." she was sleeping with her head on the table, exausted from her own job. sitting up, she greeted him tiredly. "there was a call for you... i think it's important, sweet heart. you should listen to the message." he acknowledged this, and replied, "alright. here, i got my paycheck today... so we can have it easier for a little bit. he's gonna give me a raise soon, mum... we just gotta hang in there." his mother's eyes filled with tears as she whispered, "a teenage boy like you just shouldn't be spending your time slaving over slabs of wood..." as she reached up and hugged him. "mum, it's alright. you know that. i don't mind." he returned her hug, and released her as she said, "well.. go check that message."

walking over to the phone and hitting 'play', he listened in mounting horror to lia's message. "i-- i have to go!!" he called, then sprinted from the door, grabbing his hammer as he went. "someone's gonna pay." he growled as he sprinted as fast as he could (which was FAST) towards the docks, arriving within lia's 5 minutes.

"LET'S GO KICK SOME a**!!" he yelled as he ran up to her and that guy that they'd taken care of before. (speaking of which, before, he'd seen they had the situation under control and run off to work before he was late).

Staring at this 'Tommy', Ren gulped. "Y-Yeah!" He said, trying to be just as up to date about what was going on.

The boys went into another fit of laughter, Taez only smirking. "This kitty'es got bite, mates!" He declared. "Whadda ye suppose we do?!" The boys all cheered at this. Meanwhile, Kouri struggled to stand, getting ready for a fight.

Thrown to the ground, blood trickling down the right of her temple, to hit th floor from her chin, Kouri glared, ignoring the pain. The boys were in a large circle, with Taez at one end, and her in the middle. Somehow these dip-wads thought that having a showoff was a game. Standing up again, she pulled her sleeves up. "That was a cheap shot, mister tick face." She hissed, clenching her fists and moving into an offensive position as cat calls and jeers exploded from the idiots she and him were surrounded by. Running at him, she swung her fist, before hitting the ground as a foot from the crowd swung out to kick her in the shin. Rolling, suddenly she was grabbed from behind by her shirt, and chucked back into the 'ring'. Taez leaned back, and slammed his fist into her face as she was thrown, making her fall back again. This time landing on her face. With a sickening crack, she felt her nose gush blood. It smelled like blood everywhere, and her emotions were getting the better of her. Instantly back on her feet, she yelled, swinging at him. He only just got out of the way, but lucky for him she had two fists, and he found it impounded in his face, and soon he found that face stuck to the floor. "You play dirty! So you don't mind a little dirt do you?!" She hissed, sniffing as the blood kept coming from her nose. Putting a hand to her face, she winced. It wasn't broken. Luckily.
