Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riiko continued to laugh and talk to Rini, it had been forever since she left the orphanage it felt like. An hour later the assistants and guards started to clear out and Riiko sighed as she looked at the girl who she considered to be her sister. "He wants me to marry Elfen doesn't he?"she asked Rini who slowly nodded her head. "You know as well as I do that is the only way to rule the kingdom, and If you don't rule it then everyone will die of poverty soon enough"Rini said. Now that she mentioned it Rini looked a lot paler than the last time she saw her. She knew that even if she ran away she would have to come back because the kingdom was in her blood.

Riiko didn't notice the flower for another few mintues, then her eyes met it and she smiled. Of course she would recognize the flower anywhere, she opened the door and her eyes then met those of green. "M!"She said as she kissed him happily "You followed me?"she asked in a hushed tone.

Riiko looked at Rini, she knew that she would have to stay here, she was about to tell this sad bit of news to Mikhail when she heard footsteeps approching. Her eyes went wide as she freaked out "Alright fine, let's go, let's go!"she said as she pulled him into her room closing the door. She found a window and skifully jumped to the tree, and helped Rini over, motioning for Mikhail to follow.

"The lake!" She said yelling as she and Rini broke into a run after they heard an alarm go off and guards coming after them. Riiko took Rini's hand as they bolthed dived into the lake hoping that Mikhail was following. And also worried because Rini didn't know how to swim. It took a while, but soon she and Rini were back at the edge of the lake resting as she waited for Mikhail.

((Continuing from Jacks last post... ))

The samurai showed his amazing skills when he cut a dead tree in every which was possible. Kaz was really amazed. He took to the skies, which kind of made a 'whoosh' sound. At this point Kazuki wanted the samurai to see him. He looked like a nice person, but he wasn't sure if the tree-chopping was a warning o him or if it was just for fun. As he circled the mountain, he could see the samurai in very deep thought. Kazuki knew it would lead to trouble if he asked him what he was doing, but he really couldn't resist. He flew down to the mountain top and landed infront of the samurai. He "turned on" his golden light just to let him know that he meant no harm and was aligned with the holy spirits. "Hello, I am Kazuki Kenshin," He said to the samurai with a genuine smille.

Mihkail dived behind a rock. He pulled out his hand gun as three guards and the man that took away Riiko at the school ran on to the beach. He popped out from the rock and fired shots into the guards. The other guy jumped behind a tree and Mihkail holstered his gun. The other guy shouted. "Let's fight man to man. No weapons, no special powers." He stepped in front of Mihkail and put up his fists. They started to fight and toss each other about. There was blood pouring out of the cuts on their faces and arms. Then, the other guy used his psionic powers to through a rock at him. Mihkail used his mind to toss it in the water. "You said no special powers." He chuckled. "You know me better than that Mihkail!" The man laughed hard. It was then Mihkail knew who he was. "I thought I killed you." The other man smirked. "With a desk? Not likely. And, luckily for me, Natishka didn't put up much of a fight." Mihkails eyes turned red, and he ran at the man, and punched the man in the face. It caved in and he died, falling to the ground. Mihkail then dived in the water, leaving the corpses on the beach. He left one guard alive, so they would know what he looked like. He swam back to Ria and went to the dorms looking for Riiko.

Kumizu stepped out of the forest to the edge of the lake. The moon was shining full, casting a wondrous light on the water... and Ayise. He didn't realize the ribbon he'd found was hers until he actually saw her up close. He couldn't help but think how... pretty she looked with her hair down.

Kumizu pulled off his gloves and boots, and set down his cane. He carefully limped into the lake; however, as soon as his feet hit the water, his posture straightened, as if it was the only thing that could heal him. He waded over to her and held out the ribbon. "I think you dropped this."

"Wait!" Kumizu grabbed her hand in an effort to stop her from going onshore. "I was hoping we could talk for awhile." He remembered everything he saw with Courtney and realized it would be best out of the water, instead. So, he took Ayise's hand and 'escorted' her to the dry land. Again, as soon as he was out of the water, he began limping, though he did his best to hide it.
