Welcome to Gaia! ::

The girl's smile couldn't be hidden as she watched her opponent fall to one knee. It wouldn't be long until she had completely knocked him out and would be on her way home. A triumphant run through the village would suffice for her victory. She would probably stop at a soba stand and get some noodles as well. Soba noodles with beef sounded like just the meal to celebrate knocking this bakemono out. "Ha!" Tanu said throwing her head back, knowing that Shisei was trying to be sarcastic, but he just didn't understand how true his words were. "My future as a shinobi looks a little brighter than yours," She said, knowing that was a direct insult and Yuki may step in, but other students were calling her, so there just might be a chance that Tanu's little insult would be overlooked. Tanu cringed just a bit as Shisei's tongue came over his lips. It was so disgusting! How can anyone bend nature to such a state? It was wrong. However, the sight of his tongue made Tanu's mission burn a new. Freaks of nature who manipulated genes only to make themselves stronger needed to be exterminated! The Kun Kumo's built their ability upon years and years of training. Other clans like this bakemono was from took the easy way with medical discoveries and manipulation of genes and stimulants. It was pathetic and disgusting. Tanu's hands began to feel dirty as she realized that she had been touching the same equipment as this beast. As Shisei began to speak again, Tanu merely rolled her eyes. It was like the weak to give such speeches. Usually when a person gave a speech like that it was more directed at themselves than the opponent. "I can never beat you?" Tanu said, rolling those crimson and green eyes to the ceiling yet again. "Who's the one that can barely stand?" Tanu asked as she put one hand on her hip. She barely had her eyes open as she tilted her head up into the air when Shisei threw the ball. She watched it slowly come at her. It was so sloppy it was like a little kid had thrown it. Tanu merely sighed and ducked down effortlessly. The ball went straight over her head and hit the ground behind her. Standing back up, she glared back at Shisei. "This isn't even fun anymore," The girl stated her boredom feeling as if her weakened opponent was no longer fun to beat up on. Even his last insult had lacked vigor. Kiba was a much more worthy opponent.

Shuga felt a sick feeling as she watched the tall skinny boy train with that Uchiha girl. He was so polite and careful to the point where the two weren't even training. Shuga had the urge to barge in and give them both a earful, but Yuki's cold and clammy voice broke her from starting her rampage on the two students. Throwing her arms behind her head, she gave Yuki a crooked smile. "Just checkin out our new recruits. Seeing if anyone has Tategami blood in 'em," Shuga said as she turned her grin away from Yuki and now to the other boy that seemed to not have a clan name hanging above him like all the other children did. He didn't apologize like a babbling fool like that tall and lanky kid, but kept going and had quite an arm on him. He hit his opponent pretty hard. Shuga wanted to butt in when the boy asked Yuki if there was more to do. Honestly, Shuga hoped there was, so she could watch this kid further.

"I was kind of hoping there was. I never got to finish my push ups at the beach and I was having so much fun today." Karite smiled at Misses Yuki's words. he couldn't help but to lash out at Tanu for her being so wicked to everyone she came across. It almost made him sick to watch. "I cant help it Misses Yuki Tanu is so frustrating. Someone needs to kick her butt into reality and who better to do it then me." Karite smiled again in a joking manner but underneath his words one can tell he was brewing something wicked in his mind. It could only be formed oh so evilly that he couldn't help but to let it boil over into his silver eyes. He just had to wait a couple of days the winter night before his birthday. He just had to challenge her and let her choose the location for the moonlight brawl. Thinking of his plot from before he had to figure out how he was going to beat Tanu. Maybe a weapon might come in handy. He wondered if this island had a blacksmith? Dumb question looking at most the villagers he knew they carried weapons. Completely forgetting about the women who had come in earlier he had a couple of questions for her. "Ma'am?" Karite said deeply trying to sound older then he was. "May I ask if you know Maya? You remind me a lot of her. I haven't seen her and was wondering if you could tell me where I could find her." Karite felt it in his bones that she had some connection with Maya and Baki. She smelt of the grounds and of the lion. No one could mistake Baki's smell.

Akiko listened as Karite mummbled incoherent words an if she could hear the words she doubted they would make much since, he seemed to be distracted with the woman again. This made the young student wonder what about her captured his interest so much, by looking at her there would be a number of things, she appeared as if she wear strong, and there was a confident air about her. At least that’s what it seemed to Akiko.

Her observation was cut short at the mention of her name, when had Karite moved over there? She hadn’t seen him move at all, not completely tuning out of her surroundings while observing will have to be one of the things Akiko gradually works on. Those thoughts aside the student made the walk over to join the conversation, at the least physically.

The oval face girl watched as words were exchanged, she tuned in and out of the conversations. She caught something about new recruits, blood, and that they were free to go for the day. She fully checked back in once she heard her name again, lucky she caught the question.

Akiko smiled up at…Misses Yuki, if she caught what Karite had said correctly she seems to be the principal. “The first day was great and painful Yuki-sama. I enjoyed doing something new and seeing some of the face of Shima. But I know I’ll go to bed with soreness and a few bruises, though I don’t mind it’s all apart of the journey. Thank you for asking.” As Akiko finished her sentence her ears picked up a thump from behind. “Yuki-sama, it seems one of the students has passed out...” She said in a low voice as she found the source of the thumb.

Karite did not know what the women would do to him when she said training for Maya and Baki. They both seemed a lot stronger then he could ever dream to be and it showed in the way they held themselves. As he was about to follow he remembered that he had promised Akiko a trip to the shoreline. Turning to her he smiled and clicked his teeth to get her attention. "Akiko about our date at the Shoreline. Can I grab a rain check? I got s special invite. I promise I will make it up to you later. See you when I see you." With that Karite turned on his heels and followed the large women. She was like an amazon the way she strutted around with those muscles. Taking a moment to discreetly look at his arms Karite felt kind of bad at how small his were. He was determined to change a lot of things about him and she seemed like the person to do it. Exiting the academy classroom he followed the women to the grounds for whatever training she could create.

((Exit to Tategami Grounds))

After the Yuki-sama went to tend to the fallen student she heard Karite talking to her then quickly run off after the stronger looking woman, it seems like he stepped up his game since she was here. The Ibazi member didn’t hear much of what the green haired boy said, but judging by his actions they weren’t going to the shoreline today. She was fine with that; they could always go some other time, besides Akiko was pleased to see that her studies sprits seemed to be higher now.

Akiko ponderingly turned to face Yuki-sama as she heard her name and the question, it was a good question. She didn’t know much, to start, about this place but since she woke up from her unplanned nap she seemed to remember less. “I remember very few landmarks but not enough to get me back with getting lost a few times first. May I tag along with you? But only if it wont hold you up with him.” She responded catching the small hint and gratefully accepting it. She would probably get settled and freshen up before leaving once again; maybe to get a meal, or just take a look around the village...if she wasn’t too tired. This assignment did exert a lot of arm muscle that she didn’t use, yet alone have.

Nodding, Naoki didn't fight his suggestion. She just wanted to hurry and finish, so she could chill her arm. Picking up the cannonball, she held it gingerly, testing to make sure it wouldn't strain her arm. Once she threw it, it arched overhead and quickly picked up speed. Maybe it will actually hit this time... she thought hopefully, watching it move. Her hopes weren't too high, though. Shin seemed remarkably fast, and had avoided most of her throws. She held on to those hopes anyway, not wanting to give up quite yet.
