Welcome to Gaia! ::

Notwen looked at Ishinon worriedly when he grabbed at his head in pain.
"Are you alright?" asked the dark-skinned blonde, walking over to his younger companion. After explaining that he couldn't remember anything from the time before he had become a slave, Ishinon sat down on a nearby bench. A few moments later he explained that those episodes usually happened when certain tings are said around him. I have to watch what i say around him from now on... thought Notwen, spreading his awareness dome a few feet so as to monitor the young boy's intentions. "I have an idea. Let's go to the VIP room. There are comfortable chairs and refreshments there so you can rest and take it easy." The dark-skinned blonde began walking towards one of the large towers that held private viewing rooms at the top. "Come, it's this way." he said beckoning to Ishinon with a jerk of his head.

As the day wore on, Takeshi continued to run up the path to the village of Gryu'jiong hoping that he wasn't going to be too late to catch up to those who were participating in the chuunin exams. He'd already been traveling for quiet some time, and knew that he'd be getting close soon since he didn't allow himself to stop for a break until he reached the gates of the village holding the exams. Reaching inside of his kimono's inro, he pulled out a small bottle of water that was nearing it's empty state. He took off the cap and finished off the water like he was running a marathon, which is what this trip to the village of Gryu'jiong was turning into. Once finished the water, he put the lid back on and placed it back into the inro and continued on his trip. Only due to him being so use to the extreme physical exercises that his family put him though, did he find himself starting to move from side to side of the path and striking any solid trees with punches or kicks. He wasn't putting any true power into his strikes, yet he was still able to shake the trees enough to rattle some leaves off of the branches. Soon after starting to strike trees he ended up getting bored with objects that wouldn't strike back so he stopped that and just focused on continuing on the path. Eventually he made it to the village, but his hopes of being here early enough to catch some of the exam seemed to be fading away as he was noticing people leaving the mass populated building near the center but to the right of the village. He hoped that he'd at least be able to meet up with someone from the village so that he could continue his combat training. He thus realized that with many people leaving the building, it would very difficult to enter it since he'd have to push himself through the crowd. It was going to be the only way to enter though, so he shook his head slightly and headed straight for the mass of people exiting the building.

Kai rested his hand on the cold metal table a white sheet covering the body of his former student Hayato, Kai had been watching the matches but during Hayato's last match, he had to go to a meeting with some of the other high ranking ninja from the other village, as he looked at the sheet that covered the body, he blamed himself for not being there, maybe if he had been, he might had been able to stop it, or stepped in as things got out of hand, maybe he could have stopped things in some way, but he wasn't and he had lost his student, no matter what he should have been there, but he wasn't, even worst then that he didn't even learn about it until three hours after the death. Kai pulled his hand into a fist and threw it into the wall near him he had let not only his village and himself down but also his students, three hours, he wasn't even the one who collected the body from the Lightning village. Closed his eyes s she thought back to the meeting it was only a few weeks ago now, that he meet Hayato and Aya standing on that road leaving they village, it was they first time out of the village too boot, this was Hayato first mission outside of the Leaf village, he and Aya seemed so happy to be getting out of the village and seeing the world, they had some fun, but it ended like this, as he thought about it, he only blamed himself more for failing Hayato and Aya, he pulled the sheet off, he had to examine the body before leaving, make sure nothing was missing, he knew Hayato was the son of two of the villages finest, anything might have been import to another, village but also it would help the family a little with closure, when the time came to bury they son, it was going to be hard for them.

He finished up the exam of Hayato, he got it ready for transport, and repaired it so it would be easier for later, he was done with the body, he had set if all already, it was going to be moved later today, with the other group from the Leaf village, he would be leaving with them and Aya, as he thought of her he couldn't help but remember when he first came to morgue. When he came for Hayato, the body was already released to 'Aya', Kai looked at his student, who sat outside the morgue not daring to look inside at the body, of her friend, she looked at him, her eyes look at him as if looking at something else in the distances, but her face showing that she had cried, she looked at him. Kai didn't know what to say or do and just left 'Aya' to Shizuka, while he went to dealt with Hayato's body and making the arrangements for the transfer to the Leaf village.

Several hours ago, Aya stood with Hayato in the VIP area, she smiled and waved goodbye wishing him good luck as he headed off to his match, she worried how he would do, they hadn't been able to take care of the poison in his system, but he should be fine, but she wondered what would happen, she had wanted to talk with the girl they had meet, maybe make a new friend, she only had Hayato in this village she knew, having someone else to talk with would be nice, as she turned to talk to the girl again, she had taken off, to some other part, Aya kind of wondered off to look around the other area of the VIP area, while waiting, she ended up in a private room in one of the lower levels, she found a table with some food on it was a set of screens with Hayato's match, so she decide to take a break an grab some lunch, looking at the match unfold she notice that the person Hayato was fighting had been the man who had helped, and signed a little re-leaved knowing that she felt that things wouldn't be to bad for Hayato worst come to worst, because he seemed like a nice person to her.

that match began, right from the start it was clean the other person was more powerful and had better training then Hayato, as the match went on Aya began to get worried as did Mayu, they decided to go down too the field entrance and wait for Hayato, as she got to the correct floor, she notice some of the medical people were running around, one of the nurses noticed her and went over, she put her arm around the girl, and held her as she stood they with the nurse, her eyes went wide as she saw them bring in a stretcher with his body on it, shock hit Aya first, she just watched as they moved him past her and into the next area, the nurse held her, so Aya couldn't moved, she tried to move and follow, but was held in place, she was still in shock. She was taken away as the medical people did what they could for Hayato.

Aya pulled herself into a ball as she cried into her legs, while in the waiting room, inside her mind Aya was crying still, Mayu was upset and pissed off, her fist smashed into one of the wall of they main room, mostly at herself, she had been the one who had decide to come here, and Hayato had been her first friend, Seika didn't get as effected, she was a little upset, but not to a great level, she decide to take things over, leaving Aya and Mayu to be upset and crying, Seika had no real connection to Hayato, also she was the defence for Aya and Mayu, she took control to defend Aya and Mayu from themselves. Once in control she did what she knew had to be done, she went and collected the body of Hayato from the morgue, she didn't enter to get it, seeing the body wouldn't be good for her or the others, she knew that they teacher would show up at some point so she waited, she she waited she checked on Aya and Mayu.

This was Aya and Mayu first time dealing with someone close to them dying so it was very hard on them, as she looked at them she wondered who they would deal with things, she also knew it would take time, and for that they need to get away from this place, after a while, Seika put Mayu and Aya to sleep until they would get back to the village, they teacher had turns up and dealt with Hayato's body, his friend was helping with Seika, and after an hour or so it was time to leave, and head back for they village, it was going to be a long and quiet trip home.
