"Well, we're here!" he said happily. He liked the greenhouse. It reminded him of home. It smelled very nice. He headed off to check on his plants. The weren't quite growing yet, but he could feel that they woudl at least sprout soon. It was getting much warmer, and he was sure that some of the weather mages were making the weather warm. "You can go explore, I'm gonna look around too!"

"Ok I'm interested in the different kind of plants are here anyway. I'll see you in a little while I guess." With that they went in two seperate directions. As Fayth passed different kinds of plants she eyed each of the plants little notes reading about what each one was called to where each one was from. She sadly only recognized a few plants due to the fact they grew from the region she was from.

At the end of the tunnel was the amethyst. Tomoro gazed at it's irredescent beauty bounced off of the thorns, illuminating the room. Cautiously, with her pistol extended, Tomoro hesitantly picked it up, slipping it on her wrist. It began to glow for a moment, and then faded quickly. Instantly, the plants began to wilt, and Tomoro's eyes widened with fear. I just... killed all of the plants.... OH MY GOD... Tomoro ran back to the edge of the cliff, kimono flailing, and rushed her way up the thorns back onto the grass before they snapped off. Tomoro turned around, hair messed up and in her face, only to see a long, long endless sea of dirt. Standing up, head low, she wandered back to the greenhouse. There's just one more thing I've killed.... She stopped at the entrance of the greenhouse, and slipped her gun inside her pouch, her kimono surprisingly clean.
Tomoro wandered in, and sighed. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a girl fiddling around with the different plants. She moved her hand upward to feel her eyepatch, but alas, she had left it with Bukotsu. That girl... doesn't look like she has a thought at all. And her clothing.... Tomoro didn't mean to bash at the girl's style, but she didn't like it AT ALL. I mean, she could wear whatever she wanted, but whatever the case, she would stay away from her. Tomoro fingered the amethyst in her hand, and sighed. Now what the hell am I going to do with this...?

Having since left her room after waking from a restful sleep, Julia sought the firing range and put some rounds through her hardware. Having abandoned the pocket map in her room though, she was bound to take a wrong turn and behold, she wound up in the green house...
Stepping into the structure, Julia shaded her eyes with her metal arm as the glass wall magnified the sun which interfered with her bionic eyes. They didn't sting like with natural human eyes, but her sight whited out before shading them where upon they lagged before restoring vision. This really doesn't look like the range... Her eyes swept across the environment as the building seemed to be populated by an never ending sea of green flora. There were students milling about as some could be seen taking samples and notes from various plant life, but these activities were not exactly Julia's cup of tea. Damn hippies... was her immediate thought.
She pivoted on her foot to make her leave, but one detail stayed her movement. A guy of slight build (Why is everyone so scrawny here? Julia thought) with somewhat distinctive clothes, namely a pair of Chucks, looked familiar to her. The lengthy nap which Julia was taking prior to coming here, putting her in another unusual state of being more cheerful than she was pissed off at the world. That, in addition to the inhalation of pollen of some random plant drifting around her nose. Of course!
Julia called out to him, "Bonjour, monsieur Max!" She walked over to where he was checking on some plants. "Comment allez-vous?" she asked with a somewhat cheery voice as she made her way...

Bukotsu had looked up as he saw Sachi, but then Tomoro wasn't there. He got up and walked out to the outside of the greenhouse where Sachi was sleeping with the bouquet in her hands, she was sleeping so he didn't want to disturb her. He then looked around for Tomoro, whom wasnt seen anywhere...
"Where'd she go?" Bukotsu said advancing further from the greenhouse as he scanned the area, "I don't think she would just take off...would she?"

Dahv passed through the green house doors and let his mind race. He had always enjoyed the smell of the various plants and wondered why he never got into herbal healing. He walked into the deepest part of the green house and sat down. He meditated to gather as much strength as he possibly could so he could continue his training.
"Ii yae yuni... Ahs ohr gorehnor... Ahs hah ne fah nah meh... Uu tah nah meh... Ahs hah ne fah nah meh... Uu tah nah hah meh..." He chanted the words and some aromas became visible. "Svegli la mia anima, rinforzi il mio cuore, purifichi la mia mente, arricchisca il mio corpo."

Tomoro just seemed to wander around, sighing and hoisting up her kimono so it wouldn't get dirty. Finally, Tomoro stopped, coming across a strange boy meditating. I KNOW! I'LL SCARE HIM OFF. Heh. Tomoro smirked, and came up behind the boy, as silent as a fox. Then, with a sudden motion, she took her hand and wrapped it around his mouth, kneeing him in the back. "You ready to die...?" She said evily, trying as hard as she could not to crack up.
God, this is great... I don't know why, but he just looks like someone who could be fooled... of course, he might come out with a gun or something.... With Tomoro's spare hand, she brought out her pistol in her right hand, and swerved it around in a fancy style, finally pointing it at the boy's forehead. "Don't move, or I'll shoot, boy." GWAHAHA... this is such a cruel joke... but I can't help it, I just had the urge to do something like that... maybe it's the amethyst. After a few moments of keeping a straight face, Tomoro finally couldn't keep it in anymore, and bust out laughing, stuffing her gun back into her pocket and releasing her grip... "Oh God... Oh, haha, oh God... my ribs hurt... sorry man, I had to do it... I just had to... you were totally unaware..." Tomoro than straightened her posture, and turned around, beginning to walk to the palm trees nearby, wondering what the boy's reaction would be.

Dahv stared at the strange girl. Although she threatened him he didn't care. "Empty threats woman... Empty threats." He closed his eyes until he felt the tip of a gun to his head, then he looked straight at her. Showing no fear through his eyes because he was used to having his head put at gun point. He laughed as he saw her face change from straight to laughter.
"You are a crazy woman." He stood up smiling and bowed. "My name is Dahv Kaitos. Who are you?" He held out his hand to shake her hand.

Tomoro turned around quickly, her kimono flailing about, and bowed deeply. "Tomoro Kourosai. It's a pleasure." WHAT!? HE WAS SUPPOSED TO FREAK! I know Kai would... She extended her hand out, tilting her head to the side, and taking his hand, shaking it for a few times before dropping it. She actually kept her right eye open this time; if he didn't like the black scar in her eye, he could just walk away. She was just into him for tricks.
"So, Mr. Kaitos, how do you do? What brings you to this greenhouse?" Tomoro smiled, and brought out the chopsticks in her hair, shaking the messy bun into now a long river of silver hair. "I hope you haven't come to harm the plants." Tomoro yawned, and put her hands on her hips, gazing at him with her dull grey eyes.

Dahv smiled as the woman recognized him, "Nice to meet you Lady Tomoro. The pleasure is all mine." He bowed again out of respect after she dropped his hand from the shake. He wondered why she only had her right eye open but he left it alone. He smiled brightly at the beautiful white haired woman. Wow she's beautiful, and kind too...
"I'm doing fine, and i came here to find peace. I just love the many aromas the plants give." He walked over to the cilantro and plucked a leaf. He held it to his nose and took in a big wiff. He turned around and his jaw dropped as her hair fell down. He staggered to keep his thoughts straight and his voice, "I uh... I-I wouldn't dare harm plants, i owe them my life."

Tomoro raised an eyebrow, and put her hands behind her head, looking up at the top of the greenhouse, inhaling the fresh scent of watered plants. "I see. What did they do for you?" Hrm... owe him his life... interesting. I wonder how long ago it was...and were... otherwise I would have sensed it.. Tomoro actually didn't prefer to talk to men, they always ended up deciding who she was by LOOKS, and not by personality. Personally, she knew she was pretty, and definitely strived to keep that appearence up, but inside, Tomoro felt like she was dying; just another facade she put up.
She turned around, and fixed the sleeves on her kimono, straightening the beautiful black fabric out. Tomoro then wandered over to the blue medical herbs which, in most cases, cured the common cold. She crouched down slightly, and looked at them from all angles, then switching her gaze to her write arm; that serial code was still there... I wonder when that's going to go away....

Dahv sat down and suspended his body with lightning above the plants. He smelled the plants and stared at the ceiling. "When i was weak, some kind of plant demon took control of the plants around me. This was the first kind demon i had ever encountered, and they saved me by using the plants, not even taking consideration that i might try to kill it. So i owe plants my life."
He floated and nearly fell asleep. The only thing that kept him awake was the pleasant aroma of the plants. He looked at the woman and smiled. "So what's your story?"

Buktosu couldn't find her, it was looking a little grim for him. He walked back inside, "Maybe she just went out for a stroll...I have to stop acting like I'm the type of person being alittle too overprotective or something..." Bukotsu said as he walked back to his desk and sat down. He kinda got bored of hanging around the greenhouse, after all...He basically made every vial, potion, salve available with the greenhouse's materials.
He sat down there as he looked at the greenhouse around him, it was peaceful...he then decided to climb the hidden stairs by his desk, up to the second floor where his 'other' things were. All his military items were hanging around here, satellite, cameras, loaded guns...and his favorite weapon of choice, the steel alloy 3 sectional staff. In addition to being a hiding spot, it was a sparring area. Bukotsu still felt like the only guy that had been in here the longest.
He then walked down the stairs closing the door that was covered with mako vines and leaves. Sitting down, he looked at the flowers in a vase in the middle of the table. The flowers he gave Tomoro, when she had went off to go change into the kimono, Bukotsu took the flowers and put them on the desk in a vase with water.

Tomoro sighed and folded her arms across her chest. "They just... saved me when I was little. Nothing special. Some boys tied me up and tried to drown me in a river... and some seaweed pushed me to safety or something." Tomoro wouldn't dare explain her whole story yet; she swore she would only tell Bukotsu and Sachi; she didn't even remember if she told Kai...
"Yeah, I love plants... but... they hurt me, too..." Tomoro gazed down at the spot where the plants had slit her wrists, now healed, since Kai and Bukotsu had taken care of them. "I'm... just full of secrets, I guess. So many things to discover." Tomoro sighed and looked up at the ceiling, bits of sunshine flowing through the cracks and glass panes. I wonder what really happened that day when those guys threw me in the river... and why Grandma started talking to me afterwards about my abilities.... probably since Dad did that experiment on me... she never did show me HER eye...

Dahv floated next to her and thought she might need some comfort. He hugged her from behind, although the second after he thought it was a bad idea. "I'm sorry you had to go through that... I don't really know my past all to well. All i know was that i was created with my katana, Juzakukana. Well these aren't much of cheering up words," He laughed at his stupidity and backed away, "Sorry, i should be better at this."
He created a seemingly invisible chair of electricity and sat down. He wished to ask more questions, but decided against it. He simply sat and admired the womans beauty and her beautiful voice. She reminds me of Kari so much...
