Welcome to Gaia! ::

So close. Night ALMOST punched Sai but he quickly flung himself backwards and stood parallel to the ground. "With level comes speed. My chakra surge is far greater than your own so I can easily evade you attacks. I COULD have just let you hit me but I wouldn't want to go home with a bruise on myself. My friends would laugh at me," laughs Sai staring down at the ground. With a simple Body Flicker, Sai appears directly behind Ryuu. He peers over Ryuu's shoulder and sticks his tongue out at Night playfully. "In terms of numbers. I would say that my chakra is a cool 80,000." That surprised even Ryuu. Sai was fast but Ryuu didn't realize that Sai had that much chakra under his belt. Ryuu turns to look at Sai only for him to have vanished. "But I am nothing compared to my friends," Sai states as he sits on the roof. "The strongest in terms of chakra of one of my friends is near to 200,000 if we were to put it in numbers."

"And who is that?" Ryuu's eyes oozed with curiosity.

"She is a marvelous magician by the name of Reina. However... things have happened to where she hardly ever does magic," Sai's playful tone became slightly anger, his dark gray eyes reddening. That's not normal. What exactly is Sai? He can't be human. "You've been training," Sai compliments Night finally. Ryuu then turns his attention to Night.

"As I was saying. I apologize. In truth, Sai and I have no place here to stay. And Sai fears that if he went home to Hidden Alchemy alone then he'd find himself returning to Hidden Leaf to try and fight for Sienna. But he states that even he is not powerful enough to fight in that battle So we decided to visit you at home and ask if we could stay with you a while." Ryuu then flashes a marvelously dazzling smile as Sai laughs on the roof. Ruining the moment.

Words = ?

"Thank you," Sai and Ryuu say in unison. Sai and Ryuu followed Night the whole while, helping whenever they could to fix the beds. Done, Night asked if they had eaten. Ryuu looks at Night apologetically. "No. I have yet to eat, Night. And no. I don't mind sharing a room with Sai." He smiles widely, his eyes squinting closed, before looking to Sai. Sai sort of smirks before shrugging his shoulders.

"I haven't eaten anything but I'm perfectly fine. I'm going hunting late tonight. I can fix dinner if you'd like? And I don't mind sharing a room with Ryuu either though I won't really be in bed for too long. I plan on sitting on the roof and staring up at the stars. I'm a bit restless without Sienna here. I can't help but wonder if she's all right," states Sai glaring down at the gound. In order to save Night and the others from the fallen building, Sai had to leave Sienna behind. Sai was glad he saved Ryuu and Night along with the others but wished Sienna had also come along. He rarely strayed away from her. Before long Sai notices Ryuu look at him in confusion from what he'd said about going hunting and then look at Night. Sai seemed to chuckle at Ryuu's confusion.

Words = ?

For a moment Sai looks up from the floor and at Night sadly but soon smiles happily. He follows Night into the kitchen as Ryuu plops down onto his bed spread happily. He hadn't been in a real bed in quite some time. As Sai watches Night cook he couldn't help but muse silently to himself. There was a huge difference between Sai and his two friends. He was bound in a much more powerful way than humans could imagine to Sienna and the others of his kind. Sai wasn't human, never was. And in being what he is, his ties are far more binding than any tie a human could make with even their mother. If Sienna were to die... then so would he. And if she didn't return soon... "What are we having to eat?" Sai asked as if he would eat. Sai's ears seem to shoot up a moment, his eyes--now back to their dark gray colors-- scanning the window in the kitchen before lowering. He had heard something but it was of no concern at this point. Probably just a deer.

Words = ?

"I cannot object to breakfast. Though, I don't eat what you are making. You can't really make what I 'eat'," Sai states as Night looks out of the window. When she asks her question he nods and slowly makes his way over to her. He didn't want to seem like he was trying to scare her. Once next to Night he places a hand onto the window pane. He shuts his eyes a moment before opening them. He then turns to Night and speaks, "I believe it was deer. What do you think?" Well how was she supposed to know that? And why'd he touch the window? Sai slowly reaches from Night's hand and stares her in the eyes. He did not speak word. He allowed what the window had showed him to show her. Ichazuki could take memories from the things around and show them to others. Right now he was doing just that.

A young deer steps out of the dense grass and gazes around. It was a rich brown color and had a tiny black nose and huge, beautiful black eyes. The belly of the deer was a gorgeous cream color and the deer seemed to have never been scathed in any way. It had not a scratch on it. The sun shines high in the sky as the deer steps into the light and kneels. It sniffs the ground a little before biting into the lush grass beneath night's window. As soon as it raises its head, it notices Sai and turn to run. It glances back a moment, catching Night's deep green eyes, and then running off into the forest.

That was what Sai saw and what the window had seen before he gazed out. Sai releases Night and steps back from her. He remains silent a while longer before speaking, "That is the power of the Ichazuki. They are able to share memories though I can do it in a different way than most. I can show you images. I have a vast library in my mind of the things I've seen throughout my very long life." How old is Sai? So many things about Sai were unknown. What is his connection to Sienna really? How can he read minds unlike many Ichazuki? Why didn't he eat? What did he mean by hunt?

Words = ?

"Yeah. That's why I reacted the way I did. It surprised me. And I just wanted you to know that, even if you forced us, we'd still be coming around. That's what friends do. Break into their homes and fix them dinner," Sai states as he gazes out of the window, chuckling lowly. Sai smiles widely at Night upon hearing her question to him. He found her concern refreshing. He places one hand against his forehead and another he allowed to hang lazily outward. "In truth, I'd love to. But she requested I leave for a reason. I'm a handicap for her. She's FAR stronger than me. So she would have a better chance at fighting those people than I would. If I were there I MIGHT be able to fight but I would constantly need saving." Sai looks around the kitchen a while before continuing on, "Besides, I wouldn't want to have you and Ryuu go back there. The last attack on Leaf resulted in a large scale explosion. I know the to of you would find it hard to run away and not try to save people. War isn't a pretty sight."

"You can say that again," states Ryuu motioning into the room. Sai motions over to Ryuu.

"I'm going out to catch my breakfast," states Sai flickering out of the room. Ryuu stares out the window to see Sai waving at him extremely close. Sai laughs before running into the forest bent into a slight crouch.

"Catch breakfast? Has he told you what he means by that yet?" Ryuu raises an eyebrow before taking a seat at the dinner table. Ryuu seemed to have something on his mind but just smiled and said nothing more.

Words = ?

Ryuu smiles at night. She was more than likely right. Ryuu couldn't think of anything else he might do with a wild animal. Ryuu wondered if Sai would eat the animal raw or cook it when Night sets his plate down. Ryuu's eyes seemed to light up as he stares at the food. he was starving. And yet he did not lift an eating utensil to eat. He simply stares at the food and then at Night. "I have no family anywhere remotely close to this place. I live far away in hidden Mythology. Hidden Mythology is located in the Federation; a cluster of small villages with few residents. The only reason I came here was to shake a man about the same age as me off of my tail. And the reason I have returned here is not simply because I wanted to see you again--Sai as well--but because I cannot return home. Not yet anyway."

Words = ?

Ryuu gazes at Night trying to read her expression a bit before speaking, "I will tell you what you wish to know without being so vague." Ryuu breathes in deeply still wondering whether or not he should say what he planned to before the words just began flowing out, "My full name is Ryuu Ensei of the Persian clan. I am the son of a powerful family and plan to soon take over Hidden Mythology from a powerful Spartan. A short time ago I was allowed to venture to Hidden Leaf for schooling after asking my family time and time again. I was excited. But my first day was really strange. I got into a fight with a male who despised Persian's with a passion. It wasn't truly a fight. It was mostly him yelling about how he hated Persian's and wanted to change classes. When I noticed how similar he looked to my appearance I sort of lost my cool and tried running out of the room. But he was far faster than I could have anticipated. He cut me off before I could escape. Just when the man grabbed me by the collar another male came and tackled the one I had been yelled at by and pins him to the front board. The rest I do not know of because I fled here. I cannot go home and shame my family. If they were to find out that I ran from a fight or quit the Academy... And that's why I will gladly accept your offer to let me stay here. Once my year at the Academy ends I will return home as if I had attended. Then you won't have to worry about me being in your hair ever again. I'll be back to home schooling, of which I hate."
