Welcome to Gaia! ::

(ooc: I read the previous post or else i don't know what to reply to. i know i can't do anything this is just my character's personality when he's annoyed.)

*At the Academy*

~Kyori started to chuckle. It was funny the way the teacher lost her temper. It was plain to see that she can blow a fuse very easily. He didn't pay her much attention. He walked to the window writing his name on the glass. His face was lit up by a lightning bolt outside the window. It seemed they would be in for a rough night.~

Fools are those who die in battle. My father is gone, think before you speak. I apologize for my lack of manners, my name is Kyori Yamanagi. I'm having a bad day so I'm not exactly very friendly.

*At the Academy*
-Yukio inderstood the teacher completely. Knowing that he was seeming a little arrogant because of his confidence. A cold breeze flowed through the room, sending a bone chilling shiver down Yukio's spine.-

Let out by daddy... That is a funny concept... I never knew my father. The person that was closest to that "father" role was my sensei. Do you like to mock us? I am here to learn. Not to sit around chatting. If you are not willing to teach me the way of the shinobi then my time here is done. I haven't time to waste."

-As the word respect entered Yukio's ear it seemed to flick a switch. He placed the palm of his left hand firmly on the sheath of his katana. Squeezing it, trying not to make a rash decision. Turning to Buki, Yukio looked at her, with a kind of menacing look in his eyes. One that would certainly put a feeling of fear in even the greatest shinobis heart.-

"You say I will never earn respect 'eh? Do you think I would earn the respect for killing a teacher? No. That won't do. I am going to rise to the top of this to to be a leader. I do not want people to fear me, as in my past. I only want for them to listen and learn from me... Maybe you could learn something too."

-Yukio seemed as if he was calm and collected, but if you knew him you would be able to tell that a great amount of rage was bubbling deep within him. Just waiting to be unleashed. Knowing, is restraint. Meaning that since he knew that he wouldn't be able to become anything if he killed her. Yukio removed his hand from his katana, and sat in his seat once again. He talked as if he had no concern in the women, as if she didn't pose a threat.-

"Okay, I am ready. So what is the lesson for today?"
[Just trying to cause a little commotion...]

(ooc: Sorry, don;t have time yet to reply to all the character posts, but let me clear something up. That comment wasn't targeted at anyone specifically ^.^ Just a general reminder and all so people shouldn't take offense. My comments aren't meant to actually jab at one ^.^ They're there because sometimes we all need reminders, even me ^.^

As for character commotion, sure, that happens all the time. I react to you guys the way that this character would. No one in here knows her background, because well shes a teacher and she just doesn't devulge that stuff ^.^ unlike students who end up resolving their past in this thread ^.^ No worries, they're just characters and not everyone acts like their characters would. Just because buki gets angry doesn't mean I am ^.^.

I'll post reactions to character posts after going to the doctors ^.^ and no worries this post will be combined with my next one and then this original deleted after copy and paste ^.^

Oh, and kyori, there was no storm outside...the thunder was sounding only in the room, and outside was clear, and still daylight, that was part of the point ^.^ Just to clarify myself, since I may not have made it clear)

~*~outside the camp~*~

::the guards seemed to be paying little if any attention tot he creatures around them, their sights focused mainly ahead or to their sides. Focusing down didn't seem to come to their minds. Though, with the creeping darkness, the best place to slip throughwas where the light was the weakest, and that was nearest the guards. If they were careful and quiet, and made sure not to actually touch anyone, tehy just might be able to slip right passed the guards foot.::

~*~In the ruins~*~

::the sounds of the voices inside were hard to hear at first, because they were not all together that loud. However, after one was actually able to locate the sound, it wasn't too hard to maintain that connection.::

::so far, it seemed as if they were speaking of nothing in particular, but making comments and toasting to the ancestors of each others tribes and speaking about the deeds and tragedies that each tribe had experienced. The two that were inside spoke as if they had once known each other, but had not agreed to this meeting lightly::

It seems that we can avoid it no longer.
Indeed. Tragic as it may be.

~*~at the academy~*~

::the seeming death threat and glare actually made Buki smirk more than anything else, her hand pointing at the now open door. The door should have lead further into the academy building, but by the looks for the forest inside, it certainly did not lead anywhere close to here::

Your first mission lies inside of this door. For you two, its a search and rescue. Two tribes are at war inside of that forest against a third foe that is larger than the both of them. The leader of one of those tribes has gone missing for the last month. Its your job to go and that leader.

::the stiff breeze blew in through the door again, the scent of the forest beginning to fill the room:: Time however is limited. As the two tribes are going to attempt to stage and all out attack against the third tribe to get back their prehaps already dead leader. If you two are successful, not only will you have retrieved their leader and given them a fighting chance, but you will also save many from their own needless deaths.

::she waited, curious as to what snide comments that these two upstarts would attempt to throw at her next::

*At the Academy*
-The open door seemed to open many mysteries in Yukio's mind. About the region, the people, the culture. He had no clue what was in the door, but he intended on finding out. He rose from his current seat, his hand placed on his katana once again.-

"Who exactly are we looking for? How will we know the person?

-Speaking calmly, Yukio found that he needed to know how to recognize. Walking to the door in a tired manner, he placed his hand on the panneling of the door. The cool forest breezed flowed over him. Askewing his hair minorly. Yukio spoke to his new partner with a little bit of a laugh and a smirk appearing on his face.-

"You think you can keep up?"

In his current state Edge knew that stealth had to be key here. He couldn't afford the luxury of being spotted. Signalling that he would go first he acted as much as possible like a ferret and made his way as quietly as possible through the camp by going behind tents and avoiding going too close to guards he saw. His main target was to reach the otherside and the burnt city outskirts. Now and again he would try and look back to the others.

~*~At the academy~*~

As I stated, you are looking for the leader of the two combined tribes. As far as how you'll know who it is, you'll just have to do some research of your own won't you? ::she smirked::

Now, remember, you two have a limited time frame, but don't be careless.

::with that, she began to shut the door, slowly, waiting for them to move the rest of the way through the door::

~*~in the camp~*~

::the torches were fewer inside of the camp, the shadows growing longer, though there were more people around, and unlike the guards, there was no pattern. Several times, any of the who were ground bound almost got stepped on, or kicked aside. At one point, it seemed that one soldier had actually spotted Edge, but instead, as he reached down, he picked up his horse's hair brush, apparently not realizing the ferret was there::

Yamato was changed into a bird he flyed from tree to tree he was trying to spot the exact place Edge was at Yamato looks behinf him and sees his other team mate behind him. Yamato was still suspious of what will lie beyond the burnt city.

(ooc: Kei, honestly Hitomi has been gone a long time too. And I know there was someone else with your...but...um...yea...dunno ^.^ You're the first one to post from that group in awhile)

~*~with Kei~*~

::the voice was silent for a moment and then began again, somehow quiet yet angry::

Help? Help!? Thats what they said, you know. they were here to help. And look what happened! It was only by chance that so many of us got away. You act as if this is all because we don't like new people. No! This is because it was strangers who destroyed this place!!
