Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good", kenshin said with an unexcited tone. "Now go get that patched up at the hospital wing and rest for now. Knowing the strength of that, you probably depleted all your power to heal as quickly too." Kenshin stood and began walking back towards the mansion. Looking back, he explained again, "Remember, that move is deadly if contacted and it drains you quickly."

and if you have any ideas on part deux of the pending battle between Yokomota and Kenshin, PLEASE pm me! both yokomota and I have come across a writer's block.

Calli, currently dressed in light breeches and a tunic, with her staff in hand, leaves the mansion. She could sense another person from the Haven out here, maybe Raistlin from the power levels. She was surprised. Now and days his power levels were almost close to her own... maybe. Calli could sense he wasn't really using any of his powers at the moment, though.
Calli looks out over the grassy hills surrounding the mansion, then sets off for the woods to get in some training of her own. She really had fallen behind on that lately, and planned to get caught up again, get her life back on track and everything.

raistlin stoped his practiceing and stood there looking at his katana. remembering hanyou showing him her swords and seeing her add her own energy to them raistlin decided he wanted to learn to do that. walking over to his own sword he reattached the hilt to his side and pulled out the blade. the weight was still on it, but he wasn't worried about it. he was worried about how it was possible to add his own energy to it. focusing on collecting his energy inside of himself he started trying different possible ways. starting with concentrating on converting the collected energy through his arms and into the blade, but it was unsuccessful. "learning something on your own is always more difficult." he stubbornly said to himself. then got back to gathering more and more spirit energy and trying ways to insert it into his sword.

after what felt like hours of trying raistlin got frustrated and gave up. "this i cannot learn on my own, i may just have kenshin teach me." he annoyingly told himself. he was tired of having to go to kenshin for everything. he wanted to learn something on his own instead of being taught. that was how it was before he came to the haven, he was the one teaching. everything he knew he had learned on his own, ever since he could remember. quitting on learning on his own instead he just continued on practicing with his kantana this time around. he got into stance and began swinging it around as if making a little dance with it. the weight of the sword was against him since kenshin had yet to remove the weight from it.

Calli watches silently as he continues training, unable to believe it was even humanly possibly to pull off some of those moves. Well... then again, Kenshin was by no means human. Still, she wasn't either, yet she knew she'd be unable to do any of that. She had never been one for such a flashy style, and she was usually a defensive fighter, still, she had to admit that it was magnificent to watch. As the bamboo sticks flew in all directions, though, Calli acted before she thought. Calli raises her staff, going into a guard position as she knocks the ones flying towards her to the sides with a gust of wind, betraying that she was there. Thing was, after a moment's thought, she realized they would have gone right past without hitting her anyways. Calli sighs softly, getting rid of the invisibility spell and straightens up, lowering her staff back to her side. "Er... hello Kenshin." She greets him, smiling kinda sheepishly and scratching the back of her head, kinda embarrassed that she'd had to reveal that she'd been watching him.

growing weary of swinging the extremely heavy sword around raistlin sheathed his katana and slowly walked over to a neaby stone. taking off his cape and forming it into a ball he laid it on the rock and then his head on the cloak. raistlin had thoughts buzzing through his mind, thoughts of ivory and what all went on, every day life troubles, and the stress of training. slowly he drifted into a deep sleep.

raistlin was dreaming of being lost in darkness of the lust of power when suddenly there was a bright light, when he ran to it he was awake. but that bright light was not gone. back from within the woods were located at. raistlin lets out a short but drawn out groan as his lifts his tired body. his arms felt like they were lit on fire and were being jabbed over and over by thousands of needles. and his legs barely able to lift their own weight. however, raistlin ignored these simple pains as they were to him and unwravled his cloak. slipping the cloak around his neck and putting the hood on. raistlin began making his way towards the light. coming close to the light he sees calli through the trees and with kenshin on her lap. his eyes grew and he silently jumped into a hudled bunch of trees, he was dead silent but in his head he was sighing,"those years in the assassins acadamy sure did help with being silent and sneaky, and of course i was the best of my class too." he thought to himself. then raistlin reminded himself of his energy being sensed. he began suppressing his energy. shutting off the circulation of any traceable power. continueing in hopes that he hadn't been sensed, he watched what was happening. he had been wanting to know what really has been going on between the two. he could tell from the friction between them in the public that something was up.
