Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sozoji stepped back from the girl as she threatened him. Crazy woman - one minute she was okay to deal with and the next she was a psycho. 'Damn crazy b***h... Who does she think she is?' He thought and started walking out of the school. He was heading out of the door when he spotted the girl along with a couple of others - one of which included Yuugi. So she was friends with the shrimp eh? That was interesting. With a smirk, he started his way home.

Honda shot a glare at Jounochi but then turned when Akiko finally came. He recognized her as the ‘loud mouth’ from yesterday. "Hi." He said to her

Yuugi smiled when he saw Akiko. "We weren't waiting long." He said. He felt eyes on him and glanced around, seeing Naomi and Ryou. Naomi seemed to be... glaring at him? Why was she doing that? He barely talked to her so he couldn't have upsetted her.

Naomi blinked, her eyes shifting back to their normal blue. "Huh?" She looked at Ryou then turned towards Miho and the others at the question. Since her job was a secret, she was kind of good at making up excuses on the spot. The excuses, sadly, weren't good all the time but she was usually gone by the time anyone figured it out. "We can't. We have this huge project thing due tomorrow over the... ancient civilizations of Central and South America. We don't have computers so we have to go by the library before it closes." She said quickly, flashing a smile. She grabbed his arm and started pulling him towards the school ground exit. "We'll see you guy’s later, okay?"

((Sweetness. Okay the crazy dude is named Seven and yes I like your idea! (I said that Despire would like Ryou didn't I? *little disorinated at moment*)))

"Practice, my friend, and plenty of it." Naomi said as they walked down the sidewalk. She hated lying, especially to people who seemed really nice. "Yeah we should... that's what sucks about having a job. You never have time for anything fun." She said with a sigh. On her days off, she was usually busy doing homework, doing a little cleaning and catching up on much needed sleep. "But... not much I can do on that since my dad decided to stop sending money. I could ask mom but I'd have to go through Mister Jackass first."

"So where are we going?" Honda asked. He saw the two white headed teens leave and seemed to buy the lie as well. He never paid attention in history anyway.

Yuugi thought for a moment. What did have they been studing two weeks ago? "I think it was... India?" He said, a little unsure. He thought a second longer and nodded. "Yeah it was about India..." He then frowned. "And we studied South America months ago."

Naomi sighed, "My mom's second husband. My parents are divorced and mom married the jerk two years after. He's a real a*****e and a... very violent person." She said then looked down at the sidewalk. This was something else she hadn't told anyone before but, since she trusted Ryou, she could tell him. "Do you remember when I came to school with a black eye and busted lip? I told you I had fallen down some stairs or something?" Before she gave Ryou the chance to answer, she said, "He did that after I heard him threaten Takuro, my brother."

Yuugi shrugged. He didn't know the two but if Akiko knew them, they couldn't be too bad. He knew they were in his class but they mostly kept to themselves, much like Yuugi did. He chuckled softly at Akiko and Jounochi's bickering then nodded, "Yeah." He said and smiled.

"You two sound like an old married couple," Honda commented as they walked.

((Sorry for disappearing again))

Naomi cringed a bit when he yelled. Now she knew why she never told him. "Of course she knows." She said, looking at Ryou. "She was standing right there when it happened. Oh but she's in love so Takuro and I must have done something wrong to make him pissed off." She rolled her eyes a bit then sighed again. She shook her head, "I refuse to talk to her but Takuro write me often."

Yuugi thought for a minute - thinking of what types of games the arcade held - then said "A mixture of different games... from you basic types to more, up-to-date games."

Honda glared slightly at Jounochi but let it go. He was suddenly aware that Miho was very close to him and it drove him a little crazy, knowing he couldn't do anything about it. He decided to distract himself by asking Jounochi, "Yeah - what's with the sudden change?"

Naomi shrugged her shoulders. "He doesn't tell me but I know that man has hit him. I guess he figures that, if he tells me, I'll end up fulfilling my promise and killing that b*****d." She said then smiled softly, "He's a sweet kid though... and is a hell of a lot smarter than me. It's almost irritating." When she spoke, she spoke with a sense of pride for her younger brother. Which she was proud of him.

"You know, after I get out of high school, Takuro will come to live with me. It would be sooner but I promised dad I'd graduate." Naomi looked at Ryou and smiled, "Maybe you'll get to meet him before you head off to college. Do you know what you want to do yet?”

Honda made a soft ‘hmm’ sound in his throat before turning his gaze over to Miho. Inside, he was saying how cute she was with that pose she’d taken but he wasn't brave enough to say anything aloud. "I suppose it wouldn't kill me to try." He said finally. Although, he doubted he would be able to change as dramatically as Jounochi had but he supposed it wouldn't be too bad.

"I'm pretty sure they have pinball and Pac-Man there." Yuugi said. It was probably tucked back behind some other games, being neglected because of the growing popularity of games with better graphics.

((I have neglected this RP for long enough. Yuugi’s bit is short because... well I couldn’t think of anything for the guy -_-;; ))

This time Naomi had to think for a little bit. She reached up to tap her chin with her index finger - a sure sign that she was thinking. "Well... I hadn't really planned on going to collage." She said after a moment. "Once Takuro gets here, I'll get a full-time job so I can take care of him. Then I would have to put him through school..." she trailed off for a moment and shrugged. "I guess if I planned on going, it would have something to do with video games. Video games have always interested me so I suppose that would be my dream job." She said then added, "I can see you being a social worker... or a chef. Though I’ve never actually tasted you’re cooking... besides sandwiches.”

As they neared the restaurant, she turned around to look at him (thus making her walk backwards). “Okay, just a couple of tips for you when you get in here.” She said. “If you’re waiter happens to be a girl named Romi, do not be surprised if she starts making passes at you. She hits on every guy who walks in. If it’s a guy named Shinji, refrain from staring at his hair. Don’t ask, just don’t look at it otherwise, you might get a little extra something in your drink.”

"I don't really play it much." Yugi admitted. He normally did games were it didn't require another person to play, such as puzzles. Not to mention he never was good at physical type games so he probably would lose. Still, he could give it best shot. There were two air hockey tables and only one was open.

((Once again, sorry for not replying in so long. To both RPs))

"Just sit on the left side, parallel to the bar. That's my section." Naomi said with a smile then turned to walk next to Ryou again (walking the right way this time). She liked the idea of coming over - she'd never seen the inside of Ryou's house. Though, since it was an apartment, she supposed it was about the same as hers in design. Probably cleaner though... When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Naomi started going around to the alley which led to the side door. "See you in a bit dude!" She said and then went around the corner of the building to the door.

Yuugi went on the other side of the table, grabbing hold of the mallet on his side. He watched the puck, making a guess where it would ricochet off then hit it back to Jounouchi. It wasn't as strong but the puck began bouncing off the sides as it traveled back over to the blonde's side.

((No, I haven't seen it but I've heard good things about it. Yeah! Yeah, bring in the next post! ^^ ))

Naomi went through the side door and into the women's locker room to change into uniform. She put her bag into the narrow locker then slammed it shut, locking it. She then headed out of the room and down the small hall, stopping to grab a couple of menu's, check-tablet and a pen. As she put into the tablet and pen in the pocket of her apron, a black haired girl approached her.

"Say, you've got a real cutie over there." She said, pointing in the direction that Ryou was sitting.

"Chill Romi, he's my friend." Naomi said and she walked around her to go to the table Ryou was seated at. "So I see you've met Romi." She said, smiling as she set down a menu "What can I get you to drink?" She asked, pulling out the tablet.

Yuugi couldn't help but smile when he got a point. He chuckled lightly at the exchange between Jounouchi and Akiko but then saw the puck heading towards his goal rather quickly. He had no choice but try and block it. The puck bounced off of his mallet and headed back towards Jounouchi.
