Welcome to Gaia! ::

The smirk that Yuki gave him just irritated the bully more. He snarled, and took up one of his spit balls, aiming for the back of the little brat's head. Ready... aim... teacher's not looking... fire! He grinned as the small was of paper flew straight towards his head.

Ritsu was horrified, and without thinking, said loudly, "Yuki-san, look out-- Oh, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have spoken out loud, I apologize, Ms. Teacher, please forgive me! I'm such a miserable person!" Ritsu had gone pale, and had stood up from his seat and was now making a scene with his usual way of apologizing...

Alida stared at the boy... wondering what on Earth had happened, and saw the bully and his row of spitballs. I still don't get it, but he even looks mean and nasty... I bet he started it. She narrowed her eyes at the boy with a frown.

((Raving, I'm going to change Ritsu's color, if you want orange you can use it... Orange better fits Kyou, anyway. ^_^ I just recently learned you can use other colors than the ones in the drop down list, and tan works better for Ritsu, I think, anyway.))

She replied to the note once more, pushing it towards him just in time for the bell to ring signaling the end of class.

I'm not worried about them picking on me. Mother taught me a few things. But that poor boy. Teacher should do *something* instead of just sit there.

She huffed as she stood up, sticking her pen back into her pouch before pointing to the class name listed next on her schedule as if asking if Yuki were going there as well.

(( P.E. sounds like a fine idea...especially with the bully thing going on. What about dodgeball? ninja xd ))

Ritsu resisted Kyou's efforts to calm him down until the magic words, "you'll get in more trouble" were uttered. And then he snapped his mouth shut and scooted into his desk, looking utterly mortified and very, very ashamed of himself. He whispered softly, "I'm sorry, Kyou-san... I really didn't mean to make trouble..."

The bully had finally started ignoring the apologetic boy in favor of currently more difficult prey, though who knew for how long that would last. The boy had run out of spitballs, and with the scene the girly-boy had caused, the teacher was now keeping a close eye on the class, especially this corner, looking very disapproving.


Alida had been paying close attention to the event, and was scrawling down the happenings in her notebook without even really looking at what she was writing. Her ears, perked to hear what was being said, managed to pick out a name, besides 'Yuki-san' from before. Kyou-san, hm? They must all know each other. And that other kid is definitely not going to give up. Maybe I can... well... I'm certainly not going to get in his way, even after the martial arts courses, I'm still not very good at fighting... I guess I'll just wait and see what happens, but I won't let him hurt Ritsu.

When the bell rang, she carefully closed her notebook, and placed her pen in the metal spiral. She stacked her Shakespeare book on top of it, and walked slowly towards the door, trying to end up near one of the kids involved, hopefully not the bully. She didn't want to be anywhere near him. The rather feminine boy, who reminded her a lot of Nikoli, had looked around at the bell, as if making sure it was okay for him to out of the seat now. He looked around uncertainly, but as the bully smiled meanly at him, he jumped, and followed the orange-haired boy closely out of class.


((P.E. sounds good. ^_^ *imagines Ritsu in dodgeball* *snerk* xd So.. this is elementary, right? I thought elementary classes were all taught by the same teacher, except for PE and art... at least that's how my elementary was. So wouldn't we all be in the same class?))

(( In my elementary school we switched classes for English, Math and Science and Reading by the end...to get us used to switching classes in junior high. XP Guess it all depends on what grade the little kiddies are in. ))

She smiled brightly as she skittered along after Yuki, finding that she could easily catch up with him this time, as if she knew exactly what she was looking for.

As far as she was concerned in matters that dealt with the bully...let him say one thing to her and she'd get her mother to whip up a potion that would turn him into a girl so fast... Either that or she'd get her brother to...since mother would probably be curious as to what the potion was for and such. Pity that the potion wore off after a day or two...

Now, P.E. She wasn't quite sure what that was as her mother hadn't had much to say about school...only that it was "good for her" and that she'd "make lots of new friends." Well, mother hadn't been wrong. She had made a new friend...maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Yuki frowned, heading twards the gym, giving a light cough.
He wasn't sure how much he could do with his wear bronchial tubes.. but he didn't want to seem like a sickly weakling.
This was a new school, with new things. And people could get a new idea of him. and he could banish the reputation he had receved ad the all boys school he previously attended.

Something about ash baffled him too, she wasn't scared of the bully. Most girls, or atleast the ones he had seen, were scared of bullies and anything related to fighting. Except when they went all "fangirl" on martial arts tornements.

The boy came to a stop, inside the Gym, looking at the teacher allready ordering some kids around. Yuki took a deep breath, slowly letting it out and turned to Ash once more
"Here we are. P.E stands for Physical Edjucation. Though.. its not really teaching us anything. Just making us work out." He scratched the back of his head looking back to the large room with a slight chuckle.
"Looks like we have to change into gym clothes..." he frowned, watchign as the kids gathering in sweat pants and whatnot.

He didn't look good in alot of clothing, expecially if it was the same thing the girls were wearing. It made his femininity stand out all that much more..
though compared to Ritsu he was fine in that department.

((Woo, elementry schoolers with a gym. o__O with me they just shoved us outside XD
i stepped in a mud puddle once. o_o the PE teacher was racist twards white children.. o_O;; more-often females.
I was one of her favorites to yell at because i was really well mannored. When i stepped in the mud puddle she got so mad.. and i had to convince her it was an accident >_o;;
Then the next day some kid wrote an essay about it. The whole class laughed and clapped, even the teacher.
My mom ended up "talking" to the PE teacher though X3))

Kyou was standing there in his oh to famous outfit. " Ri over here"`he muttered half waving to him. "Hey you almost look like a male in those clothes" he said laughing. "Do you have a bobbin? You'll need to tie up your hair or you wont be able to see" he said to him. He stood there is his baggy cackie pant rather worried himself. What if he was to athletic for them all? What if they didn't like him? What if Yuki beat him infront of his class and made a fool of him? These thoughts went around his head like knickers in a washmachine. His shuffled his feet nervously and pulled at his t-shirt waiting for the teacher to say something to him.

Yuki had changed by the time she got back. He smiled at her.. it was nice to have someone to want to be around him, such a difference from his old life.
He watched where she looked, noticing her concern for ritsu. He smiled a bit, before moving to get in line.. stopping to say hit to ritsu..
Though no matter what he said he'd probably just make hte boy apologize more.. "Ritsu," yuki smiled a bit "Good job back in class."

With that he moved on, getting in line. He didn't want ritsu to figure out a way to apologize to his reassurance. He moved to the end of the line, standing and watching as the coach checked the role.

((Heh! Everyone is so insecure... what if this what if that... ^_^ I remember those days. Wait... I still do that... *sigh*

Arafel, I just thought of something... there are no music classes, are there? Or am I forgetting a teacher?))

Ritsu hurried over to stand next to Kyou, blushing at his comment about looking like a boy and having to tie his hair back. Oh, no, I didn't think of that! His eyes widened and he searched his pockets frantically, coming up with a hair tie that looked like it'd been in the pocket for eons. Which it probably had, considering how often Ritsu wore pants. He sighed with releif, and started to apologize to Kyou for not being prepared when Yuki walked past and complemented him.

Ritsu blushed bright red, but Yuki walked away before he could even begin to deny it. He wasn't having much luck in getting a word in today... and to top things off, he was being reassured by another girl from class!

He didn't deserve their kindness, and he knew it. Just as he was going to open his mouth to apologize the teacher walked in from a side door. The woman stood in front of class, looking a little scary to him in her bun and black clothes. Even she's brave enough to wear men's clothes, and she's a woman... why don't I?

The teacher looked the motley assortment of kinder and kids over, before announcing that they would be playing a game called Planet Defenders today, her words a little hard to decipher because of her accent.

Mrs. Dominguez pointed to an area of the gym marked off by orange cones, and said, "See those cones? Those mark the boundary of the planet, and all the objects inside are the "Valubles" that your planet has. Some of you will be defending those valubles, while others will be trying to take them. And those two hoops on the outside of the planet are where you put the valubles."

She looked around for signs of comprehension, and seeing a couple of nods, Alida included in this, he continued.

"The invaders will wear these." And she picked up a netted bag of velcro flag belts, showing one of them to the class. "And if you lose your flag before getting the object to the hoops, you have to put it back, and go back outside the boundaries to reattach your flag. When you leave the planet, you have to "re-energize" before you can go back in and try again. Re-energizing means donig jumping jacks, or stretching, or twisting-- for a count of five."

She nodded, smiled, and then asked, "Are there any questions?"

Ritsu looked at the area blocked off by orange cones and swallowed hard. I don't know about this... I hope I don't have to defend... I don't want to invade, either... He bit his lip and worried.
