Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyo continued running seeing the other teacher talk. This new teacher gave him a different feeling than the calm one Yukie let out. He didn't know what to expect with her. All he knew at that moment was she was going to participate in the game of tag. Or more rather reverse tag since everyone is chasing her and not the other way around like it is usually played. Kyo noticed how the challenge would increase. Yukie wasn't meant for fighting, and Kyo thought it would still be near impossible to catch her, and now this new teacher, who Kyo could tell just by the tone of her voice that she was more fit, was seeming even more impossible to catch. 'What are we really going to learn from this?' Kyo wandered then bringing his concentration back to the running exercise. He decided to just let the thing happen.

Hito blinked, her facial expression instantly changing to its general mix between anger and arrogance. She nodded a bit, "Yeah, not exactly 'fond' if I remember all the times I got caught, but close enough." She shrugged.

Masaru stood amongst the others with his arms crossed, listening to the whole conversation. This whole talk of souls and copies and dream-like encounters had him all confused. Even though he'd only been among the shinigami for a few days, he hadn't had any such dreams or encounters of any kind. He knew of zanpakuto souls, but he'd never seen his. He recalled the day he fought with Ethan, and remembered saying that the soul was a shinigami's best ally, and that he wished he could say the same for the soul of his sword. Maybe the soul hadn't encountered him because he was unimpressive as a shinigami. If that was the case, he would defiantly try and prove himself today, and maybe he will finally meet his zanpakuto's soul.

He pulled the sheathed blade from his obi, and held it outward towards the others, looking sternly at the weapon, as if he was trying to see the soul trapped inside.

"I don't know my zanpakuto's name, nor have I even seen it's soul yet..." he said very blandly, with a hint of disappointment in his speech.

Haruko assumed the nicknames were refering to her zanpakto, mainly because of the titles. Haruko looked around, Making sure only Hikari could hear what she whispered next. "Well your copy is nicer than mine, it sounds like."

Haruko sniled and stood up again, stretching a little. She pondered several things to herself, including that Hikari's copy had a name. Did hers have a name? "I've never thought to ask it's name..." She said, gazing up into the sky. After a moment, she snapped back to reality, and flashed a small smile at Hikari. She turned and bowed at everyone still left in the group, saying thier names as she did so. "Karite-san, Masaru-san, Chibi-san. I'll see you guys when the lesson starts." She said, bowing again and turning away from the group, heading off into the trees. She didn't know why, but she didn't seem to timid at the moment. Maybe she was just in a good mood, having found that the chibi might have something similar to the copy that was in Haruko's own head... Besides, it was a good feeling, not being alone again.

He felt a little frightened when she leaned in as if telling him a secret, he guessed it was just the fact that she seemed so intence. He just laughed and then listened to what she had to say. "Wow, that long huh? That's amazing." He said with a smile. "Well...maybe I will get as strong as you in a little bit shorter ammount of time." He said with a laugh as he looked around. "But alright, I guess I will get back to excorsizes. Thank you for the talk though." He said, standing and giving her a quick bow before closing his eyes and focusing the reiatsu to his feet. The red reiatsu poured out a little and as he ran it went alot faster, some people said reiatsu that was red was for the hell-spawn shinigami...but he was no such thing, and he still had it. His even had little lines of black through it too. He shrugged his shouldders as he ran and concentrated harder and harder, the harder he concentrated, the faster he would go.

)((Yo, just to let you know you are NOT supposed to post any roleplaying before your profile is posted either here or here. Just thought you should know, because I'm sure if it happens again the mods won't be too pleased. But after you post a profile, feel free to RP your heart out. If you need any help, feel free to ask one of the moderators (except Kenkaru, he's way to busy), they are all very helpful. Thank You! ^_^)))

(( Moderator Note:

@Robo: Thanks for doing my job for me. sweatdrop Actually, seriously, thank you. It's nice to have our members help take a little extra workload off the mods.

@zanza: The post that Hiren made was directed at your character, and Shadowwind14's character. As was made obvious by her speaking to you both.

That means, his character will be your sparring partner.))

Haruko found her way apart from the group of students once again, and sat under the shade of a large tree. She leaned back agains it and closed her eyes, concentrating into the dpths of he rthoughs. All she saw was an inky blackness, but she could feel the presence she was looking for.

What the hell do you want, brat? The familiar voice hissed at her.

What are you? Haruko asked, an unusual resolve in her voice.

You'd like to know, wouldn't you. Maybe if you prove yourself worthy I'll tell, brat.

Haruko scowled. she was quite angry at the copy. "Fine, one day soon I'll beat it out of you. Bu before that, I have one more question. What's your name?"

Haruko could feel the clone grin. Not see, as it was still pitch black, but feel. The clone said one word, and then it was gone, hiding itself in the depths of Haruko's soul, and she knew it wouldn't reappear until she had enough time to devote to another grand scale adventure.
