Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ishira leaned her head against Tutsumis shoulder. She had missed him dearly, but now that he was here she could relax a little. She closed her eyes, letting herself get lost in his presence before she had to go back to battle. Considering the recent problems, it may have been confusing to why she was so calm.... But Ishira couldnt hold a grudge, and seeing him suddenly after everything held a positive on her. She wasnt surprised, no, over the years she had known Tutsumi, it was more exciting to see him show up at the right time. Every time he did that, and every time it spread a smile across her face.
"I've missed you too, my love.." She whispered. The past was sinking away into the darkness, hopefully no light would reach it.

Gil was extremely shocked to find himself the victim of such a well planned attack....but he did not let the shock override his senses....He winced from the pain of Elias' strike but at the same time he used his backward momentum to flip back and plant his feet against the wall, then push off, launching himself toward Gabril....but as he launched suddenly there were two of him......The clone jumped as well, but straight toward Elias....

Gil somersaulted in midflip, spinning at the same time, delivering spear kick into Gabril's chest,...The clone flipped as well and brought a leg sweeping downward just above Elias' flight path, sending him in a downward spiral.......

Gabril was not expecting such a quick reaction to his previous attack and was caught off guard when Gil came pummeling into him....The force of the kick sent him flying back, and slamming to the floor.....But he was not one to quit so easily.....Rubbing his bruised sternum, he rolled backward and sprang to his feet.....He brought his fists up, taking a rigid stance....Then all of a sudden his fists became warped in a ghostly white light.....ANd abruptly, he came speeding Gil's way, his feet dancing expertly, across the floor....

Elias was stunned to find himself plummeting into the ground.....And the force of the kick was enough to make him splinter the floor as he struck it, sending wooden shards into the air.....The impact stunned him and he found himself completely disoriented for a few moments......

Then, managing to clear his confusion, he turned his eyes upon Gil,....and without warning, white hot beams of light shot from his eyes.....

Gil could not help smiling a bit,....his companions were definitely giving him a run for his money....

Gil's clone disappeared as it landed following the attack on Elias,.....And as Gil himself landed, he looked up to see Gabril come speeding toward him....Then, he caught a flash from his right, and saw the beams coming his way,....Reacting without awesome agility, Gil rose a hand to the beams, and with a flick of his wrist, the averted them, bending the light to his will...Now they went speeding toward Gabril who had just brought his fist back for a strike.....

And just as the boy was extending his arm, the fist and the beams connected......The collision of the two energies caused a pretty substantial explosion, sending both Elias and Gabril knocking into their respective walls....

Gabril was immediately blinded by the explosion, and at the same time it felt like all his Light energy had just winked out......He did not even feel himself strike the wall as he blacked out.....

Elias managed to avoid the main force of the explosion but the force still sent him crashing into the wall.....However, he managed to maintain his conciousness, despite the fact that he could feel his Light energy waning.....Coming to a halt, he slumped on the floor, his exhaustion obvious......

The fight done, Gil assessed the situation,....Gabril was out cold, and it felt as though his Light Energy was only a flicker....Elias, while maintaing his conciousness, was not in much better shape.....

Gil sighed and went to Elias first,....He knelt over his friend and extended his hands over him...Then a soft blue light emanated from them.....Almost instantly, the healing effects took hold of Elias, washing away his pains and fatigue.....

"Well done, my friend..."

Gilthana petted Elias, then rose and approached Gabril.....Kneeling, he performed the same procedure.....And as Gabril regained conciousness, he offered a hand to help him up.....

"Better luck next time...."

Things back to normal, Gil finally registered a familiar presence in the room.....He turned and saw Tutsumi,....

((Thanx Ishi....means a lot...I'll try to keep em coming,...lol))

Gil turned his body to follow the direction of his eyes, after quickly helping Gabril to his feet.....As he did so a flutter of wings brought Elias onto his shoulder.....Then in three simultaneous flashes, the trio appeared next to Tutumi....

Gil stepped forward, bowing slightly to Tutsumi and a bit lower to Ishira,....While he shared equal respect for the both of them, protocol insisted he show a slight more deference to one whom he recognized as his Sensei....He rose after a moment's pause, with a smile on his face.....

"It seems you come and go with the wind, Lord Tutsumi...."

He paused, noting the joy on Ishira's face, due to his mere presence....

"....I pray this will not always be so.."

Gilthana simply smiled at the request.....Then without warning, Elias took flight just to land seconds later on Gabril's shoulder....Then the two of them retreated to a far corner....

Gil stood motionless after the retreat,....then all of a sudden he burst in a shower light particles....

Some many things happened at once and Ishira laughed lightly with joy. The thought of Tutsumi and them sparring was a great thought, maybe it would lighten up the rather dark mood that had fallen here. As they prepared, Ishira called to Takki and Kioke, who both came quickly to her side. She prepared to fight but then Walter came and she stopped. As he spoke her thoughts drifted to the upcoming battle, which she had wanted to partake in, but this was of more importance, for another student would clearly help the dojo along. She turned to Walter, with a rather strong and serious face. Since Neko clearly wasnt dealing with the student she needed to and needed to make sure he understood the meaning to being in the Light Dojo.

"It may some time for him to respond... He hasnt once returned my mail to him and well it has been quite some time and i know he was here not that many days ago.... But Walter, if you would, i would like you to stay here and show us some of you other abilities... The reason we have to have students go through another dojo before coming here is because the Light element, like the Dark, is a rather strong element, and some can not control it. Others take advantage of the element, and cause more problems then what is needed. That is why Neko usually wishes for students to go to a primary Dojo first." Ishira took in a deep breath and then a smile came across her face. "I need to see that you are very serious about this, that you truly want to be here. Also i need to know your current abilities...." Her eyes went back to the others and her smile grew. She made a jester for Walter to follow her, then she had Takki and Kioke come to her once again.

"Tutsumi, i have a question for you... Since you would know more then i do." Her face was much larger as she talked to Tutsumi but good reason. She had no intention of taking him far from his current spar but there was just a few things she needed to do. Her eyes also went to Gil and Q. Ill need both of your help as well. Kioke went to her smaller form and went back to Walter.

Just in case your wondering, Tutsumi was the former Sensei of this Dojo, the one that taught Ishira. The other two are Chunin, Ishiras friends and students, Gil and Q. Oh! And Im Kioke, Ishiras Helper, and the fur ball right their is Takki. Kioke pointed to the White Tiger at Ishiras side. Her growled lightly at her but did not move from Ishiras side. Ishira put her hand down on top of his head, petting him lightly as she waited for Tutsumi to talk. Ishiras a very kind person, and im sure she'll find a way for you to stay here. Kioke smiled much like Ishira said, bowed lightly to him and went to take her place on Ishiras shoulder.

"I have some one interested in becoming a student here... But i need to test his abilities, in order to make sure he can control and respect the element.... Since Neko isnt giving him a chance and has ignored his request, do you think if we examine his capabilities, that it would cause a problem?" Ishira smiled lightly, looking into Tutsumis eyes as well. She wasnt about to wait anymore. She had tried many times to do things the way everyone else wanted her to do them, but nothing had helped or worked... And she didnt want to lose students because of it.

@Tutsumi sensei and Ishira sensei: "thank you very much for giving me a chance. i swear. i will do my best! i can say im very serious, but as a sensei myself, i know i need to show it." he says with a very serious voice.
