((Vacation was fun... but it is good to be home again.))
Rikku stretched her arms up as she woke up. "Dammit... I fell asleep in class...." She said looking around and noticing that she was still in the dark arts classroom. "Oh well." She said laughing lightly at herself before she got up and left the classroom and went outside and stretched again and looked around. "Wow there are alot of new people that I don't know...." SHe said suddenly feeling rather shy as she continued to walk around aimlessly before she saw the lake, which she walked to and began playing with the water. Using her powers always calms her nerves.

Lycoris paused.
"It's awfully awkward, since I have to go to that class now..."
Lycoris picked up her bag, and slung it over her shoulder.
She knocked on the door to Rosuto's classroom.
"Hello?"
Since it was unlocked, she went inside and waited.

Calm Rosuto jumped from the tree she was in and after picking up her things headed for her classroom.
Opening the door she found Lycoris in her room.
"Oh your here for class aren't you? Well I guess we'll get started, what do you play, how long have you played, and how well do you play?"

"I play the shamisen and guzheng, I have played for about 12 years, and I was considered the best kamuro in our red-light district," she put rather bluntly. [[Her childhood is... complicated.]]

Rosuto nodded her head happily as she went to a locker and pulled out two instruments.
"Here we are play which ever one you want. I believe with your length of time I might not have much to t each you but....tell me how do you see the music, how do you feel it? Can you see the notes of the river, can you here the melody of the wind?"

Lycoris nodded, and declining both, took out her own, and began to fasten little picks around her fingers.
"Yes. I am in tune with nature. Sometimes, I may be offtune, and I may accidentally bring crickets instead of butterflies, but..."

Placing ht einstruments aside Rosuto nodded, "impressive. Well I guess what we'll need to work on is keeping you from being out of tune."
Going over to a tape player she began shifting through some tapes and finding the one she wanted played it.
"Were going to start with a black bird. I want you to read the music as it's played. Then you have to play it back, then change it slightly to call the bird and then continue changing it to make the bird fly as you want it to."
Pressing the play button and sound like a light flap of wings came from the small speakers.

Miss Lovely Rita Montblanc paused. "I'm a magician after all... but..." He began talking to himself again. "That man... he must be here because of my dearest little girl... he's after her still! No... he's claimed her already. But..." ~*~*~*~*~* Dearest little girl? What's that mean? he wondered. It sounded like a daughter... that, or a girlfriend. Deciding to stay out of the drama, Draconis snuck back away again, trying not be let down. Well, I probably have a class anyway. Hmm... but what class? Music? Yeah, that sounded right. Finishing off the glass of milk, he set it on the nearest table and headed that way. ~*~*~*~*~*

Lycoris paused.
"I can call tigers with my shamisen. I had help with that one."
[[I'd like to see that IRL. 'Hey look! She's playing Winter Evergreen HOLYCRAPTHEREISATIGER']]
Lycoris played the tune, andd then played it again a few times, but the only thing that entered was a stork that sat rather neatly on top of her head.
"I don't mind." Lycoris said. "I like storks."

"Yes they are nice but, we are calling for a black bird. Now try again. This time call a black bird. And by that I mean you need to drop your pitch a half step."

Lycoris did the pitch lower this time, and a crow sat itself on top of the stork, and cawed loudly.
Lycoris paused.
"I feel like the Chiquita Banana lady."

Rosuto couldn't help but start giggling.
"Yes, well now try to make the black bird do as you want it to."

Lycoris played one chord in the same pitch. the bird cawed. She began to use various notes off the same pitch, and the crow cawed accordingly, though the music's low pitch was unattractive.

"Good but lets get the stork out of the way."
Playing a sweet but harsh melody the stork flew from Lycoris and to Rosuto.
"Now trying making it fly. THe difference in the flight is that you must start with the birds song then half a half step lower to make it fly lower and a half a half step higher to go higher. Anywmore then that and you'll move a different animal. And think of it this way its easier if you yourself feel the movement that the song causes."

Lycoris sighed.
"I do not want to control animals."
Her heart sunk a little bit.
"Speaking of animals..."
She looked at Rosuto in the eye.
"Please forgive him."
