Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akiraa sighed as she grabbed her bento before lunch, her gaze darting for an instant toward the girl with blond odangoes and the redheaded girl who was obviously her friend. I haven't seen that dragoness again... but I'm certain she's watching, she thought. "Makoto might show up at lunch, you know," she said, knowing her tone was thoughtful as she spoke to Naru and Usagi. She sat against the windowsill, tilting her head slightly backwards as she lightly pushed the window with her hip, opening the cracked window fully. She saw the blue eyes of Usagi widen when she leaned back and simply dropped out of the window backwards, seemingly dropping headfirst toward the ground. Her feet flipped within seconds of leaving the floor and windowsill, letting her land on the balls of her feet with a startling skill and fluidity that was easily mistaken as inhuman; she'd practiced the trick for months, until it was second nature.

Akiraa grinned; she was the type of girl to live life as it came and enjoy it to its fullest. "Haven't you heard the phrase 'live life to the fullest because we aren't guarenteed tomorrow'? she said, knowing she sounded amused and not really caring that much. "Besides, what fun is life without challenges of one sort or another... life back in Dublin was starting to get boring, so honestly, I'm kinda glad I moved," she said with a musical laugh. "I'm Akiraa, and you?" she said, knowing she sounded a tad lazy as her hand dropped to the bento in her training bag.

Akiraa smiled slightly as she glanced up for a moment, giggling under her breath. "I agree with the idea of balance, and I make it a point only to freak people out when I'm really bored. Classmates; this is my first day here, so I don't know anyone, really," she admitted. She shifted slightly, her gaze shifting slightly as she noticed a momentary ripple of light in the trees, though she gave no sign she'd noticed anything odd. "I did meet a Kino Makoto on the way to school, though; she's probably somewhere around here. I do have the feeling as if I belong here... yet at the same time, a sense that I belong somewhere else," she said, the last part of her words a murmur to herself she hadn't even thought about until that moment.

Akiraa tilted her head slightly. "Better than me; I've been in Japan for all of two weeks... though I was able to find a sensei for my black belt training quickly enough," she said with seemingly idle tones. "I know of the Sailor Scouts, but I have neither the desire to see them nor the desire to let them see me if I can avoid it," she said quietly. Her gaze flicked upward to see the girl with the twin blond odangoes darting away from the window with a startled yelp. She rolled her eyes as she stepped away, her gaze drifting through the trees absently. I'm not sure what it is that warns me of the Sailor Scouts, but while I've heard good things of them, I have no desire to deal with them... at least not unless it becomes absolutely necessary, she thought.

Akiraa shrugged. "Some call them vigilantes... as for me, I'm not really one to care either way; my path isn't theirs," she said quietly. She shifted her weight, glancing around at the various students, including the brunette she recognized as Kino Makoto near the girl with the twin odangoes. I can sense power rolling off of both of them, Makoto... and the girl with odangoes, she thought. She sighed slightly. "Might as well eat while we can, you know," she said with a slight smile.

Akiraa snorted out a laugh as she pushed off the tree. "Not on your life... I know about them, but I'm nothing like them... besides, I don't have any special powers that I know of... but I do have more than enough martial arts experience to back it up. I've trained in Krav Manga, Tang Soo Do, Judo, and Tiger Style Kung Fu and recently got my black belt in Tang Soo Do just a couple of days ago," she said with a shrug as she leaned against the tree at her back after walking several yards without sitting down. She noticed a guy with dark reddish gold hair striding toward them, his dark topaz eyes seeming to glow from within. A shiver of awareness shot down her spine as she sensed his power. Damn... there's something about him that's almost... more than human, she thought. She saw the guitar hanging over his shoulder as her gaze flicked back to Roe.

Ryuusei's gaze flicked over both girls that were talking, dismissing them unconsciously as his gaze shifted to the trio of girls sitting under a nearby tree. Ryuusei shifted slightly, seemingly absently dropping his bento near the girl who hadn't yet noticed him. For an instant, his irises glowed a pale yellow as lightning sparked for just a split second through them. He wasn't really hungry, nor was he normally charitable to anyone anywhere near him; it was part of his mother's genes that gave him his somewhat distant and standoffish nature.

Akiraa shifted slightly, the only sign she'd heard the tone as well. She shrugged slightly, silently saying she wasn't sure what the tone referred to. "I'm not sure who's making those tones... it could be a distant church or the music room," she said idly, opening the bento in her hands; it was only clear from a slight tension in her body that not all was as it appeared. Unconsciously, she knew the draconian was nearby, though she wasn't going to mention it out loud. I don't know if you can hear me, ryu-shisho, but I'm curious about you, she thought. She failed to notice a very slight flicker of lavender blue flame materialize momentarily at the tips of her fingers. She deliberately used the respectful suffix to the draconian since she was certain the guardian had more technical experience that she could access consciously than Akiraa herself; she wasn't consciously certain why she used the suffix, but didn't care that much.

Ryuusei paused momentarily at the odd tone that shuddered in the air. For an instant, his irises flickered a deep orange, swirling into the deep topaz of his irises, though he didn't turn around toward the tone. The long jacket rustled slightly as his hands slid beneath it before he continued onward for a few feet before sharply pushing off the ground and landing in one of the trees several feet away from Akiraa and Roe. His instincts warned him something that wasn't unnatural, but not human, was nearby.

Akiraa noticed the guy pausing and thought she sensed something. Odd... for a moment, I smelled ozone, as if lightning were about to strike, she thought, unconsciously reaching out to Aerie without really noticing it. She saw him push off the ground and heard a faint clank when he pushed off. "Weights," she murmured under her breath. She wasn't sure if Roe would catch her murmur, but thought he glanced toward her as if he'd heard her. She blinked, noticing his orange irises. He isn't what he appears... his irises were dark gold or topaz before... now they're kinda reddish orange, she thought as her light blue eyes locked onto his for a moment. She dropped her gaze, missing the fact that his eyes widened before he looked away.

Ryuusei heard the girl with violet bangs murmur under her breath and unconsciously triggered his mother's unique talent, known as the Kazangan, which made his irises turn a reddish orange that glowed slightly. Almost immediately, his color vision shifted to grays, whites and blacks as he saw the auras of those nearby. He was somewhat surprised to see that the girl with the odangoes nearby had a pure silvery white aura that was intensely powerful, while it blended smoothly into the electrical green aura of the brunette girl near her. He was surprised, however, by the intense bluish lavender aura of the girl was staring at him as well as the prismatic gold aura of the girl he'd given his lunch to. He'd only taken a couple of sticks of dango out of it. I owe you one, Anko-sensei, for getting that woman to teach me to make my own dango... fortunately I was able to repay you before whatever hurled me here did so, he thought, letting the orange fade from his irises to be replaced by the more normal dark golden topaz.
