Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Aie!" Kiko felt arms thrown around her middle, and she fell into the water, Shiso and all. "Shiso!" Her voice couldn't have been happier at the moment, as she erupted from the water. "Hey, that Shuniji guy you were telling me about? I met him. He's definantly a sparkles kinda guy. Though, that guy over there keeps looking at my tattoos!" Kiko said in a hushed whisper, gesturing towards the guy on the beach with the drink in his hand. "What the heck is up with him?"
By the Sea

≼Shiso and Maha≽

"Movin' on the floor now, baby, you're a bird of paradise... Cherry ice-cream smile, I suppose that's... Very nice~ღ!"

"Don't worry about it," said Maha, smiling with a shrug, "It's a really pretty color, anyway. Matches your eyes real well," said Maha before taking in the name 'Yotsuki'; sounded familiar, but didn't ring an automatic bell. She then looked down at Tsukiko and blushed, giving her a half smile as she looked down at her own arm, "Actually... Aside from the nicotine, I ought to smell like sea breeze and coconut; I use it alot of salts and fragrant sea soaps when I take a bath. I like water..." said Maha distantly, looking out into the water before Shiso giggled and shook her head, "No, no, maybe he just likes the way you look is all. It doesn't have anything to do with Ichi..." said Shiso before looking down at Kiko's wolf tattoos, "I didn't know you had tattoos..." said Shiso before noticing Tatsuya tackle Seika and pouted...

... Guess he was really happy to see her, was all... She then turned her head away and sighed; maybe he was still mad at her... Perhaps it was best if she distanced herself away from him throughout the entire trip... Yeah, that was it... Sh-She wouldn't even notice him. "... Doesn't look like it; I've seen people get drunk, before. I'm not really a big fan of drinking, myself," said Maha before looking at the guy striking a pose, "Gotta admitt, though, he's pretty brave to be making a scene."

"... With a step to your left, and a flick to the right, you catch that mirror way out west~! You know you're something special, and you look like you're the best~ღ!"

Ren walked out onto the scalding hot sand under the blistering sun and it's blinding light. Luckily, most of that light was being shielded by the cat on his head. Looking out on the beach and the madness that all ready ensued, he sweatdropped and let out a sigh of defeat. He hadn't really wanted to come out here, but a paid vacation for him meant free stuff. He may sound like a freeloading slumdog, but Ren never passed up a chance for free stuff. But that didn't mean he had to interact with everyone. So, picking a spot far enough from everyone to avoid notice while staying within ear-shot, he unfurled his orange towel and took a seat on it, glad to get of the scortching sand. 'Damn, 'sit hot.' he grunted to himself. Well that was probably on account of the fact he was wearing a god damned hoodie!

However, there was some simple math in that logic. Sunburn vs. Heatstroke... heatstroke wins. He shook the cat down from his head, and pushed his sunglasses up to rest above his forehead. Neko-chan decided to go and attack the small creatures around Ren's towel. Ren, in the meantime had taken out a book from his hoodie's pocket and got reading. A bit hungry, as usual, he took out a stick of pockey and kept his hunger satiated with delicious, delicious pockey. Strawberry pockey. Damn good stuff man. Neko-chan meowed loudly, to get Ren's attention. He figured it was just some crab that had got hold of her tail or something. But she succeeded in getting his attention when she dug her claws into his back. "NNNYYAAAG! OI!" he yellped. Whipping around to yell at that damn cat, he saw she was staring at something in the distance. Following her gaze, he spotted Seika. He would have called out her name... but he was too busy blushing. She was.... beautiful. It was getting hotter. Why? Probably just the hoodie. Yeah. That was it. That had to be. Then why.... was his chest.... fluttering? He couldn't explain it. Was he sick again? Maybe. Or maybe this was one of those damn emotions. He was starting to get sick of those. They were so.... unexplainable. Why was his heart beating the way it was? Why couldn't he take his eyes of Seika? Why did he want to smile so much??? No sense. Absolutely no sense at all did this make. His train of thought had gone off the tracks. He couldn't even create comprehensive thoughts he was so confused now! If he could voice his thoughts, all that would come out would be 'gggycuottvvvfyngcwfoerccfhaa' -or something like that. Eventually, he was so swallowed up by confusion he acted on impulse. "s-SEIKA-CHAN!" he called out happily, waving to her. If he could see himself now, he'd call himself a damned idiot. Neko-chan scurried over to Seika and rubbed her head against her friend's leg, ignoring the other person. Ren saw that she was hanging with someone else and immediately put his hand down. Now looking back on what he had just been doing, he was repeatedly calling himself an idiot.

~*Yuzuki*~

Yuzuki had to pull down her glasses a little to see a hotty that she never seen before. Standing on top of a log was some nice piece of eyecandy. Yuzuki usually wasn't the swoony type of person, but even she had to admite that he looked pretty good looking. His blonde hair that was pulled back into a small ponytail (granted the back of his head looked a little like a slightly flamboyant blonde dobermans butt... but you really can win them all). She only really saw some of the side profile of the young man, but what she saw even she liked his orange and yellow shirt was seductively opened and his tanned short seemed to bring out the slight colour of his body. He had a cocky, arrogent grin to his face which seemed to bring out a first impression of a character. As she passed by she got as much of a subtle glance as she could with the man. His toned body glistened slightly with the humidity of the beach, his cold grey eyes seemed to draw her in somewhat. The only real thing that she wasn't sure about was that grizzley scar over some sort of gem in his chest. The gem was fasinating, but the scar was not. A war wound perhaps? If he was a shinobi, he certainly wasn't from her village, she'd remember someone like that, that was for sure. Still, someone that good looking was either already with a girlfriend... or a boyfriend (but who was she to judge).

Yuzuki found a spot not that far off from where the log was that seemed to satisfy her purposes and give her enough room to sunbathe when the sun was in a better spot. She lay out her blanket and put her basket beside it before stretching and looking out to the ocean to try and decide what she was going to do first.

"Come on Shiso, lighten up!" Kiko pulled her friend's hand and moved to go into the water, which was warming up in the sunlight. She let go, and splashed Shiso a bit. Though she had to wonder why in the hell Maha was giving the lifeguard that strange look....Kiko continued to splash at Shiso, and ran as she got her friend completely soaked in cold water. "Maha, you should come join us!" She wondered when Ichi would come to the beach-he lived in a desert, but she was sure he'd never seen the ocean....
