Welcome to Gaia! ::

Something in Motoko seems to snap. She keeps eye contact, but it changes. She tilts her head ever so slightly and gives a toothy grin, leaning forward as her interviewer gets closer, her lips brushing against Ishira's for just a moment before leaving.

"If you truly care for him, then there is no getting rid of it. You merely have to control yourself and devote yourself to his training."

She still had her wry grin as she closed her eyes, her grip tightening on Ishira's hand.

Motoko shook her head with a chuckle.

"I was tasked with helping you, and from what I'm seeing, this... frustration... is hindering your progress. Not to mention, I think getting rid of this frustration will make dealing with Reeve easier."

Her cold eyes pierced straight through Ishira, before warming up just a little, teeth showing through her grin.

"What do you think? Make sense?"

Motoko's eyebrows raised up, her grin becoming more real as she laughed.

"There may be hope for you yet."

She stands up and walks to the door, looking back at Ishira as she leans against it, folding her arms in front of her chest again. She would stay here all night, wide awake, watching and waiting, ready for anything.

((wooo morning! )))

Ishira woke suddenly, shooting up as her red eyes took sharp glances around her. She let out a sigh of relief, but her hands where balled on the bankets that covered her and her eyes had a hint of a glow. Her skin was covered in sweat and though she was now controlling her breathing, it had quickened. Nightmares, oh did they suck, and it had been years since she had last had one.... Maybe that meant she was doing something wrong here... With another sigh she leaned back, touching her face lightly and closing her eyes before running her hand through her hair. Well hell she made her choices, and she wasnt going to regret them. She wanted to train, and she wanted to train under Neko, if that meant being an enemy to everyone else then that was what it was and there was nothing she could do about it. She wasnt one to back out of training because others disagreed with her Sensei... Ishira let out a chuckle, how much this reminded her of her days training with Tutsumi was almost scary. Back then, Tut was the enemy... So, she never really switched sides...

Ishira grimiced at that thought, taking in in briefly before throwing the covers aside. She didnt pay much attention to Motoko, just noted the the woman was still there. Ishira walked over to her table, scratching her head before forming a small flame at the tip of her finger and lighting one of her things of sage. After letting it burn of a second, she rubbed it gently against the bottom of a stone bowl, until all it did was let off a line of smoke. She then went to her herbs, pulling out a few that would help along the way and wrapping them up. Some she didnt even touch, she used a piece of fabric to move them to another bowl where she then began to grind them together. Her ears twitched as she worked, as if listening to a voice that couldnt be heard.

"Motoko, if your hungry i can have Nate bring something up, this is only going to take a few but it can be boring just sitting there watching..." Ishira thought about it, she would need to get dressed soon if Nate was coming up... Granted she wasnt one to be shy, she just knew that Nates eyes wondered far too much and she didnt want to display anything that could be considered as desire to him... And old man, but he was strong, and had his way with certain magics that she hadnt even touched.

"A plan?" Ishira stopped and thought about it. Nope, nothing at all. "Theres nothing much to going up to some one and telling them to back the hell off. Of coarse i do intend to deal with anything that comes our way. Your here because Reeve will more or less try to kill me, and if he tries well then that would be your part of the plan. If you decide to let him go after me then ill have my ways to keep him from me. " She didnt have much of a plan, other then not get killed. Reeve used Rai, which was a form of light, and Ishira used Hikari itself, not much to figure out there... Plus if it came down to it, shed pull the Hikari from Reeve.

"We just need to get there and back unharmed. I have no intention of fighting, just getting what i came for and telling them i will not back down if they choose to fight. At the same time ill need to use the fact i like Reeve to find a way to be able to fight him. Youve pointed out things for our Sensei, but can you point out what i can do with Reeve? Or even Tutsumi?" Ishira gathered the last of her herbs and put them in small bags. She pulled her kimono over her, tightening its golden obi over her frame again, and then hiding the bags between the fabrics.

Ishira shrugged, she had already decided that way before needing it to be said, though she was sure it wasnt going to be that easy... Shed try though and that would have to be enough for now. She looked at Motoko and smiled, she wasnt a bit surprised what she had said.

"I figured as much, might as well have fun wile we can." Ishira said it jokingly but then again she wouldnt mind having a bit of fun before going back to training... She sighed and then grabbed a small backpack filled with scrolls and a few pieces of fabric. "When ever your ready."

"Hmm ill keep that in mind." Ishira flicked her hand again, a circle of light forming around them. She hated the thought of using this technique, since recently everyone had it far too much. And since she wasnt the one who had done any of them, each time her stomach flipped. At least this time that wouldnt happen. Then again that was if the Hikari was willing. The room would fill with whispers of what seemed to be people fighting quietly over something in an unheard of language. One voice became louder then the rest, and if Motoko had paid attention it would sound like Kiokes. The others went quiet, and then another spoke. With that the voices were gone and Kioke peeked over Ishiras shoulder.

They've agreed... She said and that was all.

"Motoko dont move, we will be teleported to the Rai dojo without any waste of our energy. It seems Hikari is being very giving today. Theyre taking us, it will only take a few seconds." And with that Ishira closed her eyes, two small white wings forming on her back as she circle seemed to come to life, the light wrapping around the two and then shooting out of the room and towards the Rai Dojo.

Ishira sighed, putting her hands behind her head and looking up to the sky.
"Well, im a dead fox walking now... That was stupid, they took things in a very wrong way. I didnt help much but those connections are only going to cause problems... They want to kill me, thats like a kill joy on any care for them." Her voice was cold, void of any emotion other then annoyance. She moved one hand to the scar on her chest, feeling that it was still there. What the hell had Adara meant... It bugged her. And she hadnt gotten her ring either, which was even more annoying...

"I think Neko would rather want us home then anywhere else right now..."
