Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kira smiled, her worries melting away as they kissed. She hugged him lightly and smiled, blushing softly. "Alright... But I don't really know that many people here..." She sighed quietly.

((I got out the 18th and started back today... *goes to work on more homework* T.T))

Sakura walked into the forest, slightly ignoring the courtyard passage way..there was something about courtyards that doesn't seem right to her, but she shrugged the thought off and focused for a perfect reading area in the forest..her favorite territory.

"Ahh..now where to sit?" she softly said in her enchanting tone of voice...an angelic voice. Her eyes widened slowly as she saw a place, a place beside a creek and a perfect carved rock. A cherry tree was glancing down at the rock, the air even soothed her isolated soul. A smile was carved onto her face.

She sat down, and opened the book she borrowed from Raven, she opened it to the beginning.

Sakura was deep into her book, the book that was going to tell her how to control her phantom side. Her eyes were distant at the moment and her hair was gracefully flowing, her body surrounded by a aura, a black aura. It seems the book Raven recommended was working..or she hoped so.

Hanu stroll though the forest peacfully. He let's out a quick sigh, "I love it here." He said to himself. He then sits down and leans back on a tree and stares up at the bright sky, recalling his past. He then looks down and stares at a wristband on his right arm with his faimly emblem on it for awhile. "I can't belive it... how could I?..." He says while tears start to form. He then forms a slight energyball in his hand, made out of nothing but water, inside he forms his faimly emblem, just like the one on his wristband. Inside the ball of water the emblem fades and is replaced with the shadowy form of a dragon. The shadowy dragon then beathes a stream of fire and Hanu drops the liquid ball and it splashes on the ground. Hanu then sits there still recalling past memories.

A leaf crunched slightly under Izumi's foot as she stepped into the woods. She looked around uneasily. It was much darker in here than out in the open, and she could almost feel eyes watching her. She shivered. The people in the library that she'd met couldn't have possibly been human. That bothered her slightly. After all, she'd never interacted with non-human beings before, or at least she thought so, it was hard to be sure about anything anymore. She stopped and stared mezmerized as she came up on a weeping willow tree. She paused, then walked in between the long dapper leaves. There was a small shimmering pool of water near the trunk. Izumi, in a semi-trance state, sat down at the trunk and put her hand in the water. She knew it would probably be good to get back to the dorm before too long, she still hadn't put her things away (after another whole day of just leaving them there >_<) and she didn't want to be stuck here after dark....but....there was a sense of security here because of the feeling of being hid behind the leaves.

Izumi shivered. It was starting to get cold out. She stood up and went back to the trail...then she realized that she couldn't find the trail.
"Where did it go??" she said to herself in a panicked voice. She froze in blood-chilled panic as she heard noises nearby. A musical voice. Softer, as if it was merely an echo from the past, she heard screams. Panic rose in her chest, threatening to ovveride all of her senses.
"Ah....ah...AHHHH!!!!!!!" unable to keep still any longer, she started to run blindly, bushes whipping at her bare skin. Her shoulderbag bumped against her side as she ran.
Ohmygodthisplaceissocreepyiwanttogohomeiwanttogohomeiwanttogohome!!!!!!! her thoughts were all jumbled together. It was amazing that she had enough prescence of mind to think at all.

Izumi heard someone say something but it didn't register to her brain fast enough for her to stop. She slammed right into someone and fell. She couldn't see who it was because of the tears blurring her eyes, but she knew that it was somebody, something solid unlike the dancing shadows of the trees. She clung to the warm mass and shivered like a small child.

Izumi clenched her eyes shut then opened them again. She slowly sat up.
"S-sorry." she said shakily. "This is only my second day here and I thought I would check out the woods but it's a little scary in here and I haven't made any friends yet but that's no excuse for me to walk into the woods near dark alone and- hey, you're that girl from the library...." Izumi said as she finally recognized her. She jumped up. "Oh, I'm sorry! You were hurt before weren't you and I bet I just injured you more heh.... crying " She said bowing profusely.
