Welcome to Gaia! ::

Athena, a bit surprised, had yelped when Danni fell. Now, however, she smiled, stifling her laughter, ears twitching in amusement. "Sure! I'm Athena, by the way." Holding out a hand in an offering to help Danni up, she asked, "And you?"

The figure dropped from the pole with a heavy thud. Two deep impact sites were left where his armored feet had landed. The figure looked at Ophiuchus inquisitively; moments later its head twitched ever so slightly.

The left hand twitched. All that came in response to Ophiuchus' question was a nod.

Shintero stood their considering what the teacher said about the strange arts class. "It would be nice to know my opponents next move but i like to have a challange so i don't think ill be taking that strange arts class." Shintero looked over at the masked man and then at ophiuchus. Hmmm somethings weird about that masked man......something just doesnt feal right about him He thought a bit while looking back and forth between the two. He stood their for a few minutes and then decided to head into the school. "Well i guess ill go look for the cafiteria so ill know where to go once lunch hits." He asked a few students around him if they knew where the cafiteria was and once he got his answer he imediatly headed in that direction.

"I wonder how the food is here?" After a while of walking he arrived at door with the word cafiteria on it. "Well looks like i found the place." He went to go open the door but stoped when he heard the voices of two girls inside, and from what he could make out it seemed someone had a little accident. "Hmm i wonder whats going on inside." He opened the door and saw two girls one covered in flour and the other trying to help the other up. He also noticed the cook standing behind them chuckling a bit. "Well, well, well what a mess we got here." He casted a small wind spell to clean up the flour off the ground and off the girl as well. "Pleased to meet you i am Shintero, elemental magic specialist." He said politly to the two girls

"Danni." She replied to Athena's question, grasping Athena's hand and hauling herself up. When Shintero came in and got rid of the flour, Danni flashed a grin. "Thank God for you then. Shintero, you said? Danni Rinaldi." She said, starting to hold out a hand, but then saw Lia and Ambrose come in.

"Ah..." She said, momentarily caught off guard, which gave Lia time to say in a particularly haughty voice. "Isadora Danni Rinaldi, what do you think you're doing making such a mess when you should be getting dressed?" She demanded, looking down her nose at her younger sister.

Though Danni's eyes flashed, she merely smiled pleasantly, putting her hands in her pockets so no one could see them ball into fists. "Well, Lia, I do believe I was busy making the food you planned on stuffing your face with. Unless of course you want to eat your own cooking, if perhaps you have a preference for egg shell filled omlettes." She said, her voice decievingly sweet even as her eyes shot out daggers.

Lia's face flushed, but she persisted in making a fool of her sister. "Well, unlike some people, I don't have endless hours to fool around in a stuffy kitchen, or fly around on a damned carpet like you. Which, I may add, is pretty pathetic that to get a friend you need to make one. I prefer spending my time working on dressing decently, a skill you're severely lacking in. Just look at the rips in those jeans and the flour on your face. It's disgraceful for you to come out of your room dressed in these rags. Now go on and get dressed like a good little sister, Isadora." She said, pointing to the door, and people could practically hear the reign snapping on Danni's self control.

"Outside." She said between her teeth, and Lia's mouth dropped open. "Excuse me?" She demanded, and Danni couldn't prevent the dark energy that popped out of her, causing Ambrose and Lia to stagger back in surprise. "Outside, now. Either you walk out or I'll drag you, but we're taking this outside, Ophelia." She said, her voice hard and cold, and Lia shuddered despite herself.

"Now, Izzy," Ambrose began, but one look had his hand freezing from where it had started to reach for her. "Oh no, you don't. Just put that shield down right now, cause I aint using no magic. She's tried to put me down one too many times, Ambrose, and I'm not taking it, not again. So either move out of my way, or I will make you move." The last statement was said in a threatening, uncompromising tone that was so unlike her that Ambrose just stared for a moment.

Nobody, he thought, wanted to get in Danni's way when she lost her temper. And she had definitely lost her temper completely this time. It didn't happen often, but when it did it was best to run for cover. Even Lia knew that, which was why she was slowly backing away a step for every one that Danni took towards her.

Knowing that soon it would be too late, Ambrose took Danni roughly by the shoulders, putting his mouth down to her ear. "You're losing it, baby girl. Reign it back in now, this isn't the time." He said, his voice and touch soothing. He breathed out a sigh of relief when he felt her shoulders tense, heard her draw in a deep breath, let it out slowly.

"Just get out, Lia. Get out now before I get my mad back." She said, her voice suddenly weary. Lia wasted no time obeying, rushing out of there so fast that by the time Ambrose walked out, she was already out of sight.

Alone with the others again, Danni silently made her way over to a mixing bowl, began measuring out the ingredients for pancakes. "How many?" She asked, directing the question to Athena even as cook silently ruffled her hair before heating up the griddle.

Kai stopped trying to get the kids inside and began to breath deeply clenching his fists. it was obvious Kai was stressed by the mere presence of Tivrusky, He struggled to keep control and not attack him on the spot. . Kai shook his his head, and began walking away without a word, because He knew if he saw Tivrusky again he was going to snap. when he was about 10 feet from the group a silver sphere appeared, and Kai walked in calmly, then Him and the sphere disappeared.

He reappeared in a plains bordering it was a lush rain forest line. there was grass up to his knees, and wild flowers blooming anywhere He turned. A few creatures skittered beneath the cover of the grass."... amazing, this is where that taint on this world first appeared." Kai spoke as tho others were there to listen. "that was five years ago ... five years and i still can't get over my hatred for anything that reminds me." He bent down picking up a piece of rock. He stared at it a few seconds before flipping it over to reveal a symbol of a snake eating its tail. "I thought I failed him ... and my oath." His expression lightened slightly, before he heard a noise behind him.

Kai swung around quickly to see riser with a jewel on his head. He simply stood there smirking the same was he did five years ago, but Kais face grew more and more angered by the second. "WHY WON"T YOU STAY DEAD!"He yelled as he unsheathed his claymore and starting charging, as riser stood with the same smirk on his face. The second kai reached riser, he bagan swinging wildly, but every strike was pointless every swing fazed right through him. the constant attacks lasted a minute, before Kai stopped noticing nothing there. no sigh of riser, not even a blade of grass bent over where Kai thought he stood. "Dame it ... dame it all!" he stabbed his blade in the ground driving it in 3 feet deep. Kai knelled there doing nothing as a soundless wind blew over the plains he was standing on.

Ophiuchus stood startled for a moment, as Tivrusky walked right past him. Ophi blinked, and turned to follow him, his long hair swaying from side to side as he walked.

Nobody ignored Ophiuchus. That was a grave insult to his pride. He ignored all the students staring at them as he followed the Riser look-alike to the basement of the school, constantly bugging him. "C'mon, why won't you talk? Can you at least tell me your name, huh? Huh, huh? Why do you wear those funny clothes? Ooh! Do you like spicy food?"

Ophiuchus didn't show it at all, but he could tell right away there was something in the basements of the school. He didn't need to sense magic. He could see the heat from what ever or who ever it was, and smell and almost taste the old air of the underground rooms.
