Welcome to Gaia! ::

*He blinks, and looks at her, then looks at their hands. He slowly begins to blush.* I...see... *He clears his throat, and tugs on her arm gently, starting to walk.* Erm...no time to waste...

*Akiro glances up at the ceiling, and then at Rika. He had seemingly forgot they were still holding hands.* So, I guess you should lead the way, then? *He reachs into his back pocket, and pulls out a spare headband, tying it around his head with his free hand.*

*He stumbles slightly at her tug, and chuckling slightly, he along with her.*

Trinity sat up. She could feel the wound on the back of her head had stopped bleeding. Quickly, she ducked her head into the sink and rinsed the blood out. It still hurt like a - well, it still hurt, but... She did as she'd always done; she concentrated the pain on something else.
And, todays' winner was... Revenge!

With a growl, she picked up her book, noticing with even more fury that it now had blood on it, she dashed out of the nurse's office. Irony of all ironies, the three boys were walking out of the boy's restroom just as she burst from the office. They all stopped dead, one laughed and made some snide comment. His buddies clasped hands over his mouth, seeing the rage burn in her eyes. They ran back into the bathroom.

Stowing her book in an empty locker, she snorted. Yeah, like that was really gonna help 'em... Once inside the boy's restroom, she saw how scared they were and laughed. They actually thought that the fact that this was the boy's room and she was a girl would really make a difference!

A couple of minutes later, she strode out of the bathroom after having washed her hands. Two of the boys had their heads in toilets, the third was sitting in a urinal, the puck in his mouth.

Hands clean, head throbbing, but happy, Trinity grabbed her book and went off to class; Creative Writing. She'd have to thank that boy later. She still had his head band, she noticed finally. Smiling, she decided to keep it on until she saw him again. First, though, she rinsed all of the blood out of it. Then, she finally went to class. Wearily Trinity took a seat nearest the door.

Rika, black hair flying behind her, black bag on her hip, dashed into the school. She had looked earlier, she had one more class, second floor, staff work. Rika didn't want to be late for that. She ran up the stairs and dashed into the room.

The bell rang, her class was over. Rika came out flushed, her damp bangs stuck to her forhead. Rika decended the back stairway, as they were closest to her locker, at the back of the school.

Sun rays came through a near window as Rika punched in her combination and put all her stuff in her locker. Something blocked the sun and she turned. 'Crap...' She thought when she saw who it was.

It was the three boys from earlier that day, accompanied by the boys whim she had fought in the village weeks before. Seven boys, to one Rika.

"Well, the little sobaba looks tired." Drawled one, a buff village boy, using his most mocking tone. Rika's face turned to her scowl. "What do you bakas want?" She demanded, voice icy.

"What do we want?" One chuckled, a boy from that morning. "We want the witch girl to leave our school. They ruined it when they allowed girls entrance you know." The boy wore his worst sneer.

Rika's scowl only deepend. She was staring at the lead boy when a force hit her from the side, throwing her to the ground. Rika landed with a thump and a dull crack. She had landed her arm over her staff, the bone bending with the force. It cracked like a twig over a knee.

One boy's kick drove into her stomach while she was down, slaming her back into the locker. Rika winced and rolled, getting out of the way of another blow just in time. Rika rolled to her feet and swallowed the pain of her harshly broken arm. The boys closed in around her just as she swung a high kick to ones face. Her boot took him in the cheekbone and nose, crushing the bone. He stumbled back.

In an unfortunate roll of bad luck, another boy grabbed her leg and pulled her so she landed flat on her back, winded. A cry excaped her.

Rika opened her eyes to find Akiro coming. He looked, in the least, to say pissed off. He crackled with more lightning than Rika had when the village boys had tried to do 'something' to her.

The remaining boys backed away in terror, eyes wide. "Hey, she deserved it. The b!tch nearly killed us a couple weeks s'ago!" Said the one who had kicked Rika. It was a bad attempt at defending his case.

Nehind him, Rika's red eyes blazed. "You bastards deserved it! Taking me into that ally with unpure intentions!" She yelled and hit two in the backs of their knees with her spin kick. They felll to the ground with a thump, hitting their heads on the lockers.

She stepped over those, and collected her bag, wincing as the broken bones in her right arm ground together painfully. She also picked up her staff, it crackled with electricty from Rika. The rest of the boys scattered, afraid of the two lightning users.

Riko comes running up the hall, screaming.

" Akiro! Stop! That's far enough, I think he's learned his lesson!!!'

Riko stops and quickly mumbles to himself

" Heki-kakyaku!"

A shockwave quickly bursts Riko towards Akiro causing him to Run unbeliveably fast and tackling Akiro, sliding with him well over 10 feet or so. While holding Akiro, Riko says,

" You've gone too far this time, sorry for ruining your 'fun'."

*He looks up at Riko, and his left eye slowly begins to widen.* Hmph. That's what he gets for hurting her like that... *he says, removing himself from Riko's arms. he moves over to Rika, and kneels beside her, picking her up.* I'm...I'm sorry... *he murmurs to her. He stands up, still holding her, and looks over his shoulder at Riko. The locker the boy was smashed into was caved in, and the door was dripping with blood.* Riko...I hope you'll be able to clear this all up... *He lets out a heavy sigh, and picking up his and Rika's bags, he begins to walk towards the apartments.*
