Welcome to Gaia! ::

(OOC: Grey: First you need to approach the academy and find buki sensei, then we will go from there

Hitomi: where did you place the tags? Little confused at where she is, since the arrows would have gone off before she reached the door )

(ooc: ::blink blink:: ok...even though the arrows would have prevented you from making it all the way to the door, I'll go with it ^.^ Shes a tough cookie and could get through a couple of more arrow attacks and finally get to the door)

::each tag went off, causing sand to start leaking from the ceiling. The explosions also set off more of the arrows, that were obviously set to go off with movement in the area. However, as the smoke and dust begain to slowly settle, there was little more than scorch (I seriously need to learn to spell) marks on the door. A slight shimmer would in the dust would give it away that some intense chakra feild was also helping to protect this door. Apparently it would not be by physical means that she would penetrate::

~*~With Kaida~*~

Oh, its simple enough really. Its just a wee little question that I like to ask.

::the little man grinned again::

When danger threatens, and it appears that you and your friends are in danger. What is it that you do?

~*~With Kaida~*~

::the man seemed to be pondering a moment, scratching his chin while he thought::

Well...thats better than what it could have been. So, I suppose I shall have to let it go.

::the little man chuckled and then was gone, as was the floor beneath Kaida's feet. The now 5 foot radius of open air would drop her body into a gently sloping tunnel, just enough to cause her to go down it like a slide::

~*~With Rei~*~

::what awaited her was yet another expanse of boring and bland tunnel. The difference was that this one was lit by guttering torches. Their light flickered here and there, casting extremely long shadows. The air, although filled with the smell of the torches, was actually slightly more fresh than it had been before::

::the tunnel walls were smooth, nothing but the torches and the occasional scortch mark mared their perfection. After walking for what felt like eons, the tunnel finally came to a fork, one path going left, which was very similar to the tunnel she was in now, and another one going to the right, which was completely dark::

Walks into Academy, and walks up to Buki Sensei..................(Know what?)

(ooc: No I don't know, but now is the time that you actually start roleplaying. Be descriptive ^.^ Its more fun that way)

~*~With Rei~*~

::the air in the dark tunnel smelled slightly more fresh than even the air from the tunnel that she just left. A little further in, the sound of running water could be heard::

~*~Back At The Academy~*~

::if someone happened to be looking for Buki she was, as always, in the confines of her now empty classroom. Shizu, the large white and grey wolf, was snoozing on the floor near the right edge of the desk. Buki's eyes were closed as she leaned backward in her chair, obviously somehow keeping tabs on the students that were in the different training senarios::
