Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yukio walked into the greenhouse. It was good to know if nothing else he could always come here, he loved plants and greenhouses. He had one of his own at home but he wouldn't be able to go back home for a while, and this was several times bigger than his. He saw a rose almost ready to bloom and he took out a piece of chalk he had with him. He wrote a symbol around the base of the pot and touched it. The plant then grew into full bloom. He took a nearby watering can and wetted the soil. As an alchemist he focused almost comptely on plants and more specifically on poisons. He smelt the rose, it was beautiful. He hoped that in time he could learn to do more than just make plants grow larger... there had to be some alchemists at this school. Maybe even earth manipulators could work with him and he could adapt; really he would just like to meet anyone. He was shy and not great at making friends, especially with other guys... his attraction to them meant that he couldn't always be comfortable around them.

Botan watched wide eyed as she saw Cadence change back into her lovely tanned self. She wondered how on earth she did that.

"Uh....I...don't...know...I-I thought he would be here..."

Botan was saddened by this but didn't wish to show that to a spirited girl such as Cadence. Instead she smiled and made the best of it.

"Oh well that's okay..." she said, walking up to her and lifting her up, "At least you took me to a nice place right?"

Cadence squealed some when she felt herself become weightless. Out of reflex she quickly wrapped her arms around Botan and buried her face into her bony shoulder; Cadence was such a baby. However, she pulled away once it was realized that she was holding onto her so tightly. "S-Sorry..." she stammered, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Oh well that's okay..."

Her ears suddenly fell as did her smile; she wasn't an idiot. Cadence had a way of feeling when others sadness appeared and how they were feeling about things most of the time; it was a gift she had never spoken of.

"At least you took me to a nice place right?"

Cadence nodded softly and glanced about the Greenhouse; it was nice she had to admit. "Y-Yes...I-I suppose I did." Candece perked up slightly after Botan's comment. It made her feel better to know that she made her happy at least in one way. "I-I'm sure Ishoa-sama will b-be back s-ss-oon..."

Cadence wrestled away from Botan's grip and dropped her feet down onto the tiled floor so she could stand on her own. Her ruby orbs gazed about the beautiful foliage and then a sudden idea reached her brain. "I know..." Cadence giggled excitedly, her eyes darting around the denser parts of the Greenhouse.

"Your IT!!" She screamed, gently tagging Botan with her delicate index finger. Before she could retaliate, Cadence darted off toward the other end of the Greenhouse and dove into some of the more dense of the foliage. She covered her mouth to try and supress her giggles, but it was proving to be difficult.

Cadence giggled softly as she moved farther into the thick trees trying to keep Botan from using her cat abilities. Although she figured they would become a factor in this game of tag. Her crimson eyes glowed stealthily through the darkness of the foliage around her; this was her favorite game to play with anyone. Cadence had never played with another Neko before though, and so she had no idea what to expect.

Cadence heard the rustling of some tree branches about five feet behind her, and she leapt off into some shrubs to conceal her position. She looked up and luckily, saw Botan watching out for her on a high tree; perfect.

With a sly smile, Cadence crept up to the bottom of the tree and suddenly lunged off the earth floor toward Botan. "Hahahaa!!" Cadence screamed, making contact with Botan for only a few seconds; she had jumped too high. "Iiieeeeee!!!" Cadence suddenly hit the ground with a loud thud having landed on her back. "I'm such a klutz.."

Cadence had closed her eyes when she noticed Botan jumping down to land ontop of her. Although she was in quite a good amount of pain from the fall Cadence had just had a huge amount of fun; she loved this game. "A-Alright..owwie...you win!!!" Cadence said giggling, and opened her eyes to find a male Botan ontop of her.

Her cheeks flushed immeadiately after she saw him laying there not willing to move. Her large red eyes were wide with confusion, fear and embarassment; she made a boo-boo. "O-Oh..." Cadence stammered, her body too unwilling to move. SHe was stuck there with a guy ontop of her just as mortified as she.
