Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zatoichi sighed as another duel was started, this time between him and a true fellow swordsman. It was of course the girl from earlier who had started as a young child and transformed into an adult. It mattered not really, her sword was long, and from the way her muscles were sighing in soft agony he could tell she was able to wield it in one hand. He merely shook his head and dropped listening. The blade started to whistle through the air, parting it along its tempered and formed edge, letting Zatoichi know exactly where it was. He merely pivoted, spinning his arm, flipping the sheath off of the unnamed Katana and pressed the edge of his blade against hers as it came down, hardening his stance. He grabbed the handle of tonbogiri, grasping a thin strip of metal as he did, swinging letting go of the thin piece of metal, and pulling Tonbogiri out, sheath and all, attempting to slam the sheathed blade into his opponents stomach, knocking the breath out of her and successfully ending this little sparring bout.

Shika continued to smirk. “You don’t seem to understand that being ‘Fashionably Late’ is a hard job being just plain late is easy.” Her attention was quickly turned to a Leaf Ninja who just ran up to them. “Oh Hey there. Did you run all the way here or something?” she said quickly noticing him being short of breath. “What if I don’t want to go to class?” She whined a little just to give Kazuhiko difficulty. He was one of her good friends, and she enjoyed picking on him. “I’m totally ok with just resting all day. Although, I’m not to sure if the instructors would take to well to it.”

Wandering into the Academy, Shiva slowly casts his golden eyes to the area. Frowning slightly, he walks slowly past trees and towards the building itself. "Hmm... What to do..." He says, as he walks along. Not exactly paying all to much attention to where he stepped. Though he was paying attention to where he was headed. Which was the Academy's main building. He rolls his shoulders in a slow shrug, as he wanders along.

Kazuma took his time studying the information before him. Then he sighed. *sigh* These jutsu are useful, but in the end, I won't be winning any battles with these and only these. It makes me wonder why I left the Hidden Waterfall village. Kazuma turned and walked out of the room and down the hall. He made his way out the back of the school into the massive campus grounds outside. The Academy itself was really just one large building, but the grounds it was on were massive and beautiful. It was like a huge park really. Kazuma walked through the gardens and across the fields. He couldn't help but feel out of place here. Despite his well-groomed appearance, Kazuma was not so pretty beneath the surface. Being surrounded by all of this beauty made him feel like a dead tree in the middle of a vibrant forest. Kazuma sighed once more and made his way back into the building, looking for some sign of life. He found it odd that he had been here so long and had hardly seen anyone.

Count: 183

Kazuhiko Hoshigaki smirks looking over at the Hyuuga and steps closer, “Hey their boy...Don’t ignore me…I’m not going to go away if you do.” He looks to Shika and nods, “The instructors don’t bother me. As long as it is not target practice classes. Maybe not the weight classes either.” He rests his left arm on one of his katana hilts before looks back to the Hyuuga and laughs softly before placing a hand on Shika’s shoulder, “This guy bothers me, let’s go somewhere else.” Kazuhiko walks off into the ninja academy and sighs, “Try not to follow us, Hyuuga.”

Azami stood a while longer, but the boy eventually moved off into the Academy ignoring her, and her appearance thankfully. Azami followed the boy into the school and walked down toward her class room, the hallways were empty mostly seeing as the regular Academy day had let out for the day. Azami turned a corner and froze seeing the boy leaning just inside the doorway of her class room talking to another person presumably. Just great, why my class room? Azami thought suddenly becoming very self conscious of her fly trap appendages again. Azami calmed herself down and strode right past the boy her jaws brushing his hair slightly as she stepped into the class room and saw another boy reading the days lesson from the chalk board.

Shika was a little bit shocked by Kazuhiko’s actions even though it wouldn’t be the first time that he had gotten angry at anyone. She quickly followed him after he placed his hand on her shoulder. She couldn’t help but to think that she felt a little bit of jealousy, but brushed it off quickly. “ Kazuhiko, Don’t you think that was just a little bit unnecessary?” she said in a soft tone before walking into the academy. This was not the best way to start academy. “And I thought we were going to ya know skip?” she whined a little even if skipping wasn’t a good way to start academy either.

Azami felt a cushion of chakra form under her shoes like a small pillow of air. "ok, alright,...lets try this" Azami sprinted forward and placed her foot on the wall she felt her foot hit the wall and instantly slide off due to her speed. "AAIIIIEEE!!" Azami screamed as she crashed head first into the wall she was attempting to climb up. Azami lay crumpled at the bottom of the wall looking extremely annoyed. "This is stupid" Azami muttered to her self. Azami with out getting up ran over the way the jutsu was supposed to work in her head again. Maybe make chakra jagged for traction? she thought.
