Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cadence sprung up after she felt Botan's weight off of her body; how akward. She stumbled backward into the darkness, and happened to smack into a large tree. She hissed and grabbed the back of her head in agony. "Stupid tree..." Cadence grumbled, glaring at the tree with narrowed crimson eyes.

Her expression softened when she turned to see Botan apologizing, the red tint more vibrant than ever. Cadence felt her cheeks get hot as she stepped back out into the light, "o-oh...it's f-fine B-Botan..Y-You can't h-help it..." she said, trying to reassure Botan that nothing was wrong. Honestly, Cadence had never been with a guy before. and the thought freaked her out more than anyone would ever know.

Naomi blushed, bit her lip, and nodded. "I know. It's something I need to control. That's why I need lessons so bad." She said, and looked out the door. "So, any idea where your lady might be?"

Naomi shruged. "Well, when I was yung, my village I lived at, and it got burned down. I am deaf in my human ears, and I was granted bunny ears to help me. But now, because of them, I can't go to a regular school, and I came here." She said, and started drifting away, and looked down at ther bracelet, and sighed. "Anyway, I just want to find a trainer to help me."

Sachi watched Bukotsu leave with the newcomer. She didnt mind being left alone. In fact, she saw this as a good opportunity to impress him.

She put her hands together as if holding a small ball. She concentrated on the space in between her hands and began to repeat the process she had done before. She imagined her special place in her mind and manipulated her 'bloodflow' to the desired area. She could feel the energy gather up in her hands, but before she could stop it, the energy escaped from her and went straight up into the ceiling.

Sachi was only disappointed for a moment's time. She tried again; this time, she intended to stop the chi from escaping her.

"Exactly, the power of the imagination is nearly limitless, that's why some people have problems with using their powers, they imagine that their powers may go out of control," Bukotsu said as he began pouring an abnormal colored vial as he made another one of his strange cuncoctions.

"You'd be a great earth adept if you were alright with your imagination and such," Bukotsu said smiling in her direction.

"That's a nice bracelet...you should treasure it and your friendship, with uhhh your friend," Bukotsu said as a swet drop appeared on his head sweatdrop

"I-I-I know, but..."

He just sighed slightly and sat there holding his knees. Rocking back and forth slightly, his tail and ears drooped.

"It's just so embarassing...having that happen and not be able to control it..."

He sighed and stood up looking up to the canopy of the jungle to see total darkness, no light to speak of, none whatsoever.

"There's jsut about nothing wrong with daydreaming... You're looking at a guy that would rather lay outside and count the clouds, even if its a clear day out there, than go inside and train again with martial arts like crazy," Bukotsu smirked.

Reaching over to her, he slightly moved her hand back with the bracelet on as her hand slid the bracelet, "You should keep it on, you obviously care about that person alot, so you should never take it off," Bukotsu smiled to cheer her up slightly.

"It's a momento, so you have something to remember that person by, but it also stays in your mind," Buktosu said letting go of her hands, "Besides Naomi...memories are like a film that can play over and over again in your head like a film, it can make you laugh, it can make you cry, but that's what makes a memory something permanent in your head and your heart."

After putting several holes in the roof of the Green House, Sachi was finally starting to get a feel for chi manipulation. A previous time, she was able to guide a ball of energy for a short time until it escaped from her. She was now concentrating on a new ball. She was very tired from the exercise, but she was very determined to make Bukotsu proud. Hopefully, she could suprise him when he returned from where he had left.

With her eyes closed and hands cupped together, Sachi summoned the energy into her hand. The task was a lot easier now that she had mastered gathering the energy. Now she was working towards controlling it. She gave her undivided attention to the shining, pink orb in her hands. She then tried to hold it in one hand. She slowly transferred the energy to her left hand, then her right hand, then back to her left hand. Tiny beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she tried to pick up the pace a bit.

After about twenty minutes of this process, Sachi was finally able to move her chi freely and easily. After safely releasing the ball of energy, she let out a massive sigh, layed on the grass, and fell asleep.
