Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bukotsu looked at her as though analyzing what was wrong with her. He then just smiled, "I missed you too Tomoro," Bukotsu said as he held out the box to her along with the bouquet.

"I'm pretty sure black would suit you just fine," Bukotsu smiled weakly. Although he was speaking normally he felt something wrong in the flow of Tomoro's chi energy, and aura. Something seemed wrong, he wanted to say the words, "Are you alright?", but couldn't seem to grasp the security to say it.

Instead he asked Tomoro, "Did anything happen while I was gone?" Bukotsu asked as he waited for her to accept the gift.

Kai had almost completed the spell until Tomoro came up to him. His brown eyes quickly opened and all the energy he had been saving up was lost temporarily. He slowly looked up at the girl and said quietly, "What?..." Then, when she smashed the pendant, his earth-colored eyes instantly went wide, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" He quickly picked up the shards and held them tightly in his hands, cutting them open. His hands were now crimson and a small pool had formed beneath him, causing the grass to bow down from the liquid. He quickly glared up at Tomoro with tear-filled eyes, "What the hell is your problem!!! There was more than just one fricken purpose to that amulet!!!" As he spoke, a grey mist started coming out of the shattered pendant and rose into the sky. It started spreading and soon, it evaporated into the atmosphere. The healer jumped up and shook his head slowly, "No...Please...No!" There was a sudden flash of a black light, and some of the pages in Kai's book started glowing. The boy gulped and slowly picked up his book, examining the words. He read them silently in his mind, slamming the book closed when he finished. He stomped over to Tomoro and glared at her, "You have no heart whatsoever!!! Do you know what you've just done?!?" He showed her the dark-purple aura covered words, "Thanks to you, I now know another spell!!! I didn't want to know these spells!!! Why do you think I gave you that pendant?! I TRUSTED YOU, TOMORO!!!" The healer slammed his book closed again and shoved it into his knapsack, knowing his fate would be to cast the spell soon. He didn't care about his bleeding hands anymore, he just wanted to get away from the girl that had change his life...forever. There were still emerald specks within his cuts, causing immense pain whenever the slightest breeze hit them. Kai grumbled and sat about 50 feet away from Tomoro, beginning the chant to heal his hands. A white light appeared in his palms, spreading out and covering all of his cuts that were on his hands. When the light faded, the cuts were sealed and the emerald shards were in his palm, not a drop of blood on them. The healer threw them into the wind, "Thanks a lot, Tomoro...You better not destroy any more of those sacred objects..." He then grumbled incoherently and dug out the book, reading the new spell that he got. It sounded interesting...even though it was only supposed to be used for evil...The spell effected a person's heart, totally eliminating all of the hope within it. Kai's brows furrowed in thought and said quietly, "I'll have to try that one on Tomoro...After all, she is the one that destroyed the pendant of hope..."

((I've never been on someone's enemy list before ^_^ Maybe it'll be fun! ^_^))

((why do you have to be such a good Roleplayer gonk I suck compared to you v.v))

Kai quickly brought his staff out and used it to keep his balance when Tomoro pushed him. He glared back, just as menacingly, "It's moments like these...That I'm glad I'm neutral...If I was good I would walk away right now and move on...But I'm not..." He brought his staff up in front of him, one hand on the rod and the other on the gem at the tip, "I do not wish to harm your plants, Tomoro...Why would I want to anyway? What, exactly, would I accomplish by harming the wildlife? It would be a meaningless kill...They do practically nothing for me...And that is why I leave them alone...And why do you think I even infected you with my disease? It's because I knew that I could cure you...And if I couldn't, I believed that you could heal yourself anyway...So if you truly wish to kill me..." He then lowered his staff and dropped it to the ground, "Be my guest...Kill me...I actually want you to kill me...But what do you hope to accomplish? One less healer in the world? One less person that knows how to cure serious illnesses that infinitesimal plants cannot heal? One less human being on this earth that could save an entire race of plants..." The boy smirked slightly now, "I actually considered you my friend...Even after you destroyed the pendant...But now...Me seeing you want to kill me...I just consider you...an acquaintance..." His brown eyes went from the thorn spear, to the pistol, then up to Tomoro's eye and scar...and they stayed there. His brown eyes sparkled in the sun, as if taunting Tomoro to kill him right then and there, ending his life with a single shot. If he was killed, then no one would have to cast the spells in his book, and that would be a positive to his demise...But his fate was in the hands of Tomoro...Life...or death...Salvation...or eternal damnation...

((lol it's all right ^_^ I've heard worse language in real life and in RPs ^_^ especially L33t people O_O;; I HATE THEM!!! *coughs* anyway...))

((Uh... I don't roleplay much. >_> Actually, that's the longest post I've ever done. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDx))

Tomoro tilted her head backward, her eyes becoming duller by the minute. "Do you really think I was your friend? Are all of you men REALLY that stupid and idiotic? I was using you." Tomoro winked at him, an evil, all knowing wink. With a swift motion, Tomoro brought out the vial she had stolen from him earlier. "Oh my... this seemed... to fall into my hands. How ironic. I bet you don't know what this does, do you? You don't know what it's capable of. Do you know why it didn't hurt me? That plant FORMED BECAUSE OF ME. It's poisonous. It kills. I lied about saying that it wouldn't hurt me; this is the only plant's poison in the world that can kill instantly. Know why it didn't hurt me? It was born because of my hate." Tomoro shook the vial slightly, and smirked.

"You poor, naive little boy.... so protected and guarded. Tell me, how did you ever become this way, when you had everything in the world you could ever want? The person you stand in front of was abandoned and tortured by her father, hung on rope by the arms and left there for twelve hours, abused and broken. That pendant of yours was mocking me. I'm not hesitating; I WILL kill you. Do you fear death? I bet you've caused it, too. I caused death. But now... " Tomoro thought of the instance where her father shoved the black block into her eye. "My time is fading fast, but I can make your life a living hell while I live. I mean, you're only an acquaintance. You can't do anything to me."

((Oh, I HATE that. Dx))

((lol that one post I made a few posts back was the longest one I've ever done xp ))

Kai growled and glared at the vial of poison, "You...Stole it from me!!!" The healer kept growling and quickly picked up his staff, holding it like he was previously, "You know what? I don't care if I die...If I die...At least I would die happy...Unlike you, I haven't killed anyone...If I killed someone, I probably wouldn't be here...I'd be back home, actually getting attention from my parents...But alas...I'm HERE with YOU right NOW." He started chanting silently, the emerald turning a blackish color. He was trying to remember the spell that he learned a few years back for causing all of the plantlife around the caster to wither away and die. His brown eyes darted around quickly, noticing a few bushes of roses, a maple tree, and some...lotus-like flower...He quickly looked back at the gem and continued his chanting, saying inbetween cantations, "If I die...I'm taking...Plants with me..." The black aura started expanding, now about the size of a basketball. Kai's brown eyes slowly closed as he neared the end of the spell. A devilish smirk played on his lips now, "Prepare...to say goodbye to your friends..." At the last word of the spell, the dark sphere stopped expanding and started to condense back into a small black seed that was made of pure dark energy. It stayed on the tip of the emerald, waiting for the healer's word to sink down into the earth and destroy everything in its path within a 10 foot radius.

((xDDD It was nice.))

"Fool." Tomoro shook her head, and sighed. "Such a poor, insolent fool... you make me sick. Willing to die just so you can kill the plants around you? Throwing your own life away when they will just grow back over your bones and flesh? I told you I can counteract anything." Grandma... this is for you... the spell you told me never to use... the only one related to time... you always were good with time... Tomoro sneered, and put her hand to her lips, mumbling. "Karashita kaminento karatisha kawalaide." Raising her hands to the air, she let out a long sigh, and what seemed to be green crystals flew out from her mouth. She had used this once before... to save the plants... with this spell, she could stop any object in its tracks and immobilize it for a few moments, which gave her time to summon the strongest plants to counterattack the attack.

With a simple flick of her wrist, a few crystals surged forwards, cutting into Kai's body and attaching themselves onto his skin and clothes. If her Grandmother's spell worked correctly, he should have stopped in his tracks. Of course, he could usher the world to cause destruction within 10 feet, but she would defend the area surrounding it with a giant strong wall of thorns, so the damage wouldn't spread. Before Kai could speak, Tomoro yelled at the guy asking if she was okay. "YOU WANT TO DIE!? IF YOU DON'T, THEN GET OUT OF HERE." Looking at Bukotsu, her eyes widened. "GET OUT OF HERE. YOU'LL DIE. I... don't want you to die..." Tomoro would encircle the area in thorns... of course, there was a 75% chance of death on her part, unless she summoned plants to protect her. Kai, on the other hand, would surely die if he summoned the spell.

((is there a theme tonight or something? o_O;; ))

Kai yelped when the shards hit him and stuck there. Blood started running down his body, causing his shirt to turn a dark red. The black seed on the end of the staff fell off on its own, getting its own mind during its flight. It floated on a breeze and landed directly beneath Tomoro, a black ring of energy emerging from it. It spread to its 10 feet maximum and stopped, the plants it ran over turned a brownish-blackish and instantly died. Kai fell back and hit the ground hard. His staff had fallen from his hands and layed a few feet away from him...covered in blood. The healer winced and tried to conjure up his healing arts, but he couldn't get enough energy. The 'seed of death' took too much energy for someone to call upon simple healing tactics within a few seconds. The boy slowly sat up and watched the seed's after effects, oddly proud of himself. But, he noticed that it also effected a part of the greenhouse, the part that contained some of the poisonous plants. Kai looked over and smirked, finding the patch of dirt with black specks in it from earlier. He reached out, almost touching one of the pieces of plant, "I...almost have it..."

((icky!!! SHORT POST!!! crying ))

Bukotsu realized that the spell was already being active. Speeding up the process, the Divination had quickly began to revive plants fighting off the spell. Bukotsu had the plants in the area of effect protected and had Kai trapped in Circe's chi Divination seal.


((dunno if this is what you meant when you made that thorn dome))

Seeing as he was cut off from the fight, "NO!" Bukotsu said as he ran and slammed his fist against the thorn wall, the thorns searing his fists cutting them as he continued punching insanely and alternating punches as blood soon covered his hands.. Nothing had happened, Bukotsu couldn't penetrate the thorn dome. He then realized he had 'them' this whole time.

Reaching into his pocket, he then put on a pair of familiar black and green gloves, the serpent skin gloves. These pair of gloves, were as hard as diamond, and tougher than steel. Bashing his fists into the wall, the thorn wall shook with each brutal blow from his fists, which had been gathering massive chi energy in his life and enhanced his powers to near herculanian strength. The wall kept shaking as he finally had energy gathered in one hand as he realeased his chi in the form of a beam shooting out of his arm. It pierced through the wall. Walking in, he then stepped into the dome.
