Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xiaeriene's eyes widened with fear as she watched her cousin go into convulsions and pass out. Instantly, she recalled what her father had told her prior to their leaving

"Xiaeriene, I am afraid that your father and I are going to have to take an extended trip to Valde Aequus, in the realm of the Ancients. It seems thata number of disturbances in the fabric of eternity have been reported in the Worlds of Shrine Seven. Therefore, the Elders have asked us to look into it. My brother and Megami as well have been sent to Verus Pondera to investigate disturbances there. But, Patwinka told us, that, if the time came upon us, that one of the Pillars would bear the gift of Eternal Sight, and will forsee events to come....and if that happens, I am afraid it will be up to you to keep things on track."

Xiaeriene looked down as Koori approached her, and walked up to meet her, staring her straight in the face "You are such a heartless b***h, you know that? You play like the innocent p***k that does nothing wrong and call me names, yet act as if it is alright to pretend you are the sun and stars...well, you know what, you can have your cake, and eat it too! You heard the coach, if you are so bent on destroying me, then by all means, try to do so at the tournament. But, you WILL NOT disrespect my family, or I will personally take great pleasure in ending your existence" She turned and headeddown the bleachers, and walked over to Guraha "Coach, I am off to the office to check on Dess" She turned and began walking toward the door, her aura blaring with righteousness instead of pompousness

"Wakey wakey! Don't worry, you seem to have fainted, but you are alright now"

Xiaedessa stirred, and woke up suddenly. Munemune was hanging over her with a sickeningly sweet smile. She turned and noticed Haruto sitting next to her. She blushed deeply "You...brought me to the Nurse's Office? But why?"

Hikaru bent her knee further as Kyosuke swept the back of her knee, intending to make a more controlled side fall as she had practiced. As she fell, she grabbed onto Kyosuke's own wrists as tightly as she could to bring him with her and try to roll over to get on top. She had done a bit of grappling and for a moment, she wondered how this would turn out.

Haru frowned down at the patient. "You took the wrong action." He said darkly, scoldingly. It pained him to judge her like this, he realized how his father must have felt while disiplining Haru and Hikaru.

(Takara, in the Jigoku Jime one grabs the opponent while they are face down, lifts them by the belt, places them on their left heel, sits back and scissors their head and arm with their legs and chokes them. Meaning, Hikaru would be on the top.)

Kyosuke stood back up after Hikaru had put distance between them. He went right back to his stance.

Kyosuke ran in, getting right in front of her. He clutched her lapel just behind her neck and her sleeve. From here he could use a wide range of throws. Her only real defence would be to stay and keep him from throwing, resulting in a stalemate or losing her upper clothing to make distance between them.

Haru bowed and closed his eyes. He was abou to explain what she could have done differently when she told him of the vision. His eyebrow shot up like his father's might have. He opened his mouth to offer her consolation when Xiareene entered. He waited several seconds after she had finished before he dared to speak when the door burst open to reveil a man dressed in flamboyant robes that seemed to change color continuously. Haru folded his arms and sat back in his chair with a frustrated look.

The man approached the bed in two strides. "Ah, young miss Anthros, it is truely a pleasure to see you (for the most part) unharmed." He procured a vial of thick amber fluid and placed it in her hand. "Drink this, it will help clear your mind and reduce the pain."

"I will only fight one opponent at a time." Vladimir said, folding his arms. Checking his things, he then truned to face the other challenger. "I'd break you in two, little boy."
