Kumizu walked out into the courtyard, his cane lightly tapping the stones with each step he took. While he had a sash but no shirt, he also wore long pants, gloves, and boots. He settled down at the fountain. Letting a hand drift around the water, he happened to hear parts of a conversation with a mysterious woman and a cat.

Popoki was relieved to hear she could keep a secret, most people could, but since he didn't really know Feena, he couldn't be sure. He nodded as Feena told him to keep the secret she had let slip, or did she? But he jumped slightly after she said she could help him. Popoki immediately jumped off the tree, landing infront of Feena, and turned to look her straight in the eyes,
"You can?" Popoki said eagerly, a look of hope upon his face. Maybe this person, Feena, could really help him. Maybe she had some kind of power to aid him in his problem. He knew that Sakura was no ordinary girl, and if she wasn't her sister probably wasn't either. Then again, who in Ria is normal? (( xd ))

(( xD that is so true!))
"I'm not a phantom for nothing" she said with a grin, its true, phantoms are a speicla type of creatures only born in the spirit world who can transmutate souls into lifeless objects. but you need a special type of stone, ah, but Feena is lucky enough to carry those things around and some spar dolls. Thats because Feena talks to the dead alot and sometimes they ask her if they can come back to life. But of course, Feena has to see if they are worthy.
But for Popoki, its is no problem, he is only cat not a dead person. She grabbed her bag that was lying next to her and she took out a rather handsome doll, with of course needsle sticking through, because her magic works that way. Then she took out a rather ruby rock, with some kind of fire in the core of the rock. There, she placed the doll on the ground and lightly placing the rock over the chest of the doll. Her bloodlust eyes sparkled as she started to draw a circle around the doll with her nails. Then she started drawing wierd shapes and figures, but the magic didn't start until she finally spoke the last ingredient, a chant.
" Heaven ablaze in our eyes we stand still in time the blood on our hands is the wine we offer a sacrifice.."
she murmured, the wind started to pick up, causing her black hair to sprawl everywhere, almost like dancing shadows, her bloodlust eyes glowing until. A gust of wind started to circle around the doll and Popoki. In a few minutes, Feena smiled, she did it, she actually changed the cat into a boy.
Right in front of her eyes was...
((How was that? Good enough for a good cat-boy switching?))

Kumizu was surprised at feeling this sudden gust of wind. He looked over at the tree, the girl had some sort of doll in her hand and the cat... the cat was gone. In its place simply stood a boy.

((That was awsome Sakura!! Just perfect! blaugh ))
Popoki's bright blue eyes widened as she quickly began to pull together things. He was unsure of what was happening, and it all happened very quickly. As the wind picked up his fur blew and he closed his eyes tight. Then he felt strange. So strange that if he tried he probably wouldn't be able to explain it. Popoki opened one eye, then he opened both. He was now very tall, like he had grown almost 5 feet. He now looked down at Feena, who was smileing, looking quite satisfied at what she had just done. Popoki looked at his hands,
"H-hands!!!" Popoki said, rather loudly too.
It had happened, finally, he had found a human form. Popoki quickly turned and ran towards the fountain, ignoring the person sitting there because he was so excited. In his reflection was no longer a small white cat, he was now a young man. He had white, almost silvery hair (young hair, of course whee ) and his skin was slightly tanned. His clothes were a bit ripped and ragged, but he didn't mind this, after all, this form did come from a doll. He still had his bright blue eyes, and he also still had the dark blue collar on his neck, except it was a bit bigger. Popoki turned and walked back over to Feena,
"Thank you, thank you very very much" Popoki said
He was so happy, and greatful.
((wait, grateful or greatful gonk anyways...BAM!! Instant date, just add magic xd just kidding, not really magic eh?))

Feena grinned as she heard Popoki speak, Hands!, she stood up slowly and swiftly placed her things back in her bag. She then slugged the bag over her broad shoulders and with her other vacant hand she wiped some grass blades off her black leather pants. Her bloodlust eyes then went back to Popoki's attention, but he was long gone to the fountain. Aweing at his human form, Feena really out did herself.
She slowly walked down to Popoki, who was now almost as tall as her, but of course, she was a little taller than him, only by a couple of inches. He seems to be exactly 6' feet but she is 6'2, she is almost a foot taller than Sakura Ai who is 5'3. Yeah, Sakura Ai is pretty small but she is in her high teens, she just turned seventeen about a month ago.
"Popoki, or if you want to prefer to another name, if you want to turn back to a cat you just let me know and i can unbind the spell" she said slowly, it was valuable information he needs to know, her hand was gently placed on his shoulder, her bloodlust eyes staring intensively into his. Thats when she remembered, Sakura Ai is at the hospital, and she needs to visit her sometime today.
"I forgot, my sister is at the hospital.." she said completely zoning out. Forgetting that Popoki was ever standing there.
((I like the hands part, when he yelled out 'Hands!?!!!' xD I was laughing out of my chair))

"Hmmm" Marrow said quietly as she looked at the tickets she bought. She wanted to give one to Taqune, but she didn't know if he liked her enough to accept them. If he did reject her she could always give one to her little brother. However, that would be embarissing. She laid on her favorite bench pondering the idea with both tickets on her stomach.

"I think I'd like to be called 'Ikaika' now." Popoki answered Feena. He didn't know why, but he felt 'right' with that name. Popoki also nodded when Feena told him she could unbind the spell. Though, he felt that he would never want to go back to being a cat, but it would be good, just incase things didn't work out. Then Feena mentioned that her sister, Sakura Ai, was at the hospital. Though Popoki wasn't sure wether she was talking to him or herself.
"Should I, um, go with you?" he said, tilting his head a bit. "Oh, also, please don't tell Sakura. She might tell Nohea...and I want it to be a surprise."
Popoki trusted Sakura, but he didn't know if Sakura was good at keeping secrets. Feena had reassured him that she would keep the secret.
((I didn't know whether or not you wanted Popoki to go with Feena, heh, oh and, can Feena call Popoki Ikaika from now on? heh sweatdrop ))

"Fine, you can come, Ikaika, you can come" she grinned at his new name, it sounded more of his age. The name Popoki sounded childish, or more of a young name. Heck! It sounded like she was saying Popo the whole entire time. It sometimes gave Feena a huge headache when that name would come out of her lips.
"Ugh, Ikaika, Ikaika, of course i won't tell Sakura. I never tell her anything anyways" she said as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. Why would Feena tell Sakura secrets, not like she has any, but Sakura would probably blank out or something.
"We better go" she said as she started to walk out of the courtyard, her arms still crossed as her feet trudged through the grass, almost like she was crushing the grass blades. Not like she cares about nature.
((Nohea, I posted at the hospital))

[Actually Middy, Solumone was referring to Sin, he's been calling him "Stranger" since the man made his entrance. Not only that, but Solumone was actually talking, not using telepathy. And you guys wonder how you were getting your asses handed to you by Citedal. >.>;; ]
Maru almost tripped as the bright beam of light soared past him. His stumble gave him the appropriate time to see Acid soaring to the creature. But instead of merely stopping, he changed the direction of his attack and leaped for the beast's tail. At the very moment he leaped, the beam of light from Sin soared straight fort he monster's head, and yet did not collide. Instead, the light bent upward as it neared, then was completely absorbed within the larger beam from the creature's eye. But it was in that moment that a great shining light spread throughout the wide beam which closed in toward Acid's descending form. The flash was made for but an instant before the monster's own energy dispersed and erupted, creating a shockwave of force. Dinah's shadow based sphere burst, and Shien's wave began to bend and twist as the shockwave moved through it. However this did not slow down Acid or Maru as they came toward the beast, nor did it stop Shien's wave. The bending, twisting energy moved over the tail yet did not cut through. Just like before, the wave began to coil and divide all around the creature and began cutting at its body. And at the same moment, Maru placed his hands along the creature's tail as Acid's sword planted into its back. The surge of Acid's electrical bolt streamed to Maru, which then gathered through his body and was shot again through the beast.
The energy between the two built and strengthened, became more intense and powerful at the exact moment the cuts were forming...and suddenly all exploded in fury. The many fine cuts on the creature's body burst, the force by the building electricity causing them to literally explode in masses of blood. Citedal's tail swung violently to the side, forcing Maru to fall off and roll to the ground. The explosion of blood from its back would be enough to launch Acid off of the creature. The ground became sickeningly red with the blood that now covered it as the monster began to stumble to the side. It quickly lost its balance as it turned, falling toward the left...and so catching itself in the spike of earth laid out by Scytheress. The left half of its chest was impaled, the beast slowing to a halt before the spike could run through, its tail twitching erratically for several seconds more before growing still and falling to the earth. Maru slowly raised to a stand, looking in a bit of shock as the blood slowly crawled down the large stone spike. "Hmm...so it seems I was right about you, after all." Solumone smirked ever so slightly now, glancing to his side toward the barely conscious Sin. Meanwhile, Maru let out a small sigh as his eyes narrowed a little and he straightened himself. The calm and calculating gaze in his eyes had slowly returned, and a sense of relief washed over him...however difficult it was to see.
Solumone still smirked as he now watched Maru staring at the creature, he didn't exactly need an answer from Sin. Though Maru was far away, he could tell the feelings which he now felt, the fear he had for the creature...as well as the relief it had fallen. Indeed, Maru may have seemed to be a cold man often, yet he was still a man, still mortal and alive. He opened his mouth to speak a few, small words yet nothing immediately came to him. It was at the moment he thought of such words did his eyes widen in shock and he heard the sounds of cracking earth. The stone spike had been gripped at the side, the creature's hand was once again raised as it tore the spike from the very earth and broke it in half. Deep, gaping breaths came from its large mouth as it ripped the spike from its body and threw it aside. Its back heaved inward and out as more blood spilled across the ground. The sickening sounds of its flesh parting and tearing could be heard, and Maru slowly backed away. Its stomach tore open suddenly, and from it fell what could very well have been organs. But no, it was something in the shape of a humanoid upper body, long and thin looking, which fell out in an upside down pose over the ground. Its head was balled and skull shaped, with small, gnashing teeth and metallic colored eyes.
Joining it were long, thick appendages and cords similar to intestine. Three eye stalks fell from the hole as well, one of them breaking apart when it hit the ground and spilt a constant stream of blood from it. The falling parts were all a blue gray color, pulsing with veins and the constant beating of a heart. The large gaping wound in its chest, the wounds on its body, its back, all over had similar results. From its chest came many very small, worm like tentacles which wriggled constantly around and over a single, large eye with teeth along its eye lids. From its right shoulder, another upper body like creature, hanging upside down with wings folding out, hanging limply as if it were dead. The mid-section connecting it to the body of Citedal was thin, withered and weak looking. Tentacles and heads with gnashing teeth, many parts and withered looking creatures pulled themselves from within the beast. But none were so much as noticeable as that from its stomach, its chest, and its back. From its back, there came three large, bulky, muscular arms which raised from the hole and lowered to the creature's body, slowly pressing along the flesh with its fingers. Then came four, serpent like heads which slowly squirmed about and hissed, eyeless longheads baring their teeth and wriggling their two forked tongues.
But instead of attacking, it turned slowly toward Solumone and began to walk. Maru did nothing to stop it, only backing away in sheer horror and from the shock that this insult to nature was still alive. It walked toward Solumone with a limp, its body swaying left and right in an almost undead state of movement. When it finally reached Solumone, the man was grinning at the creature. Furious, it roared loudly at the smaller being, blood slowly dripping from its mouth. Solumone responded...with a chuckle, and shook his hand with an almost dismissive manner to it. "It's over, old boy...you've lost this battle. Do not direct your anger toward me." he still smiled, receiving another mighty roar from the beast. "Oh please, I hardly helped them at all. Besides, you had no business coming here in the first place. It is behavior like this which allowed Aeon to be killed...was it not?" the creature responded in a low, hissing sound back to Solumone. "Hmm, if you wish to be angry then go ahead, but are we not forgetting the others with you?" he glanced toward the grotesque creature that hung from Citedal's stomach. The creature growled once more before its arachnid like legs lifted upward. Its body lowered as its limbs bent, and with a powerful burst of force lifting the dust, the creature was gone with a single leap. Solumone remained, standing there as blood rained down in his general area, yet not a drop seemed to touch him. The smile never left his face, and Maru was simply left without words as he stared off toward Mr. Graves.

((Meh, previous post deleted serves me right for skim reading...Don't worry though she still attacks the beast in the same way, so her post still fits in...Just this time i think shes on the right story 'line' sweatdrop ... *re-writes attacking post*))
Dinah had sent one last huge shadow blade attack at the beast when she saw the others attacking; it had been one humongous blade rather than loads of tiny ones, it was also slighty sherpical so it was more of a blast than a blade. She hopped this would have more effect than before...She did it mainly to help but she was thinking that somehow she could see this ending up in a bigger mess. Dinah wasn't normally optomsitic or pesamistic but right now she was defently pesamistic...
She had been leaning on her right leg to take the weight of her more injured left leg, but now she just dropped to the floor and curled both her knees up to her head, in an almost sphere shape. Dinah felt sick and it didn't help when she saw what happended to the beast...
Dinah had very nearly been sick it was gross! Not the fact of how it died but what happened when it should be dead, the horrible limbs extending from its wounds and monstoroties extending from it everywhere!...she stood up painfully and tried hard to listen to what a man was saying to the beast, she heard snipets of the speach but nothing to insight anger...
Within a few seconds of the beast leaping and leaving and sense of instant calmness came over her, though she was very hacked off that the beast had attacked at all. Of course she was just as hacked of at her own stupid offer to help, at least she hadn't been seriously harmed, and At least she meet new people and couldnt call this day boring...she sighed heavily and her breathing and pluse rate finally returned to normal...
Dinah stood where she was flicking her white Neko tail back and forth, in a mentormnomic like way, she was waiting and thinking, the battle over she was unsure of what to do next. that and her curious nature wanted to see what happened now...

Scytheress straightened as she watched the attacks in succession. She was far enough away still to not be splattered by any of the ensuing blood but the mere sight of it was enough to give the Fox added energy, something she could use after this whole incident. Between the force she had used in the Ancient Forest chapter and the one that was concluding before her Scytheress had lowered her energy considerably. She dispersed her wings, sending them back through a dementional fold to be summoned back at a later time.
A sigh of relief was cut short as Citedal got up from her skerwering spike and Scytheress winced as it broke the pointed column, literally snapping the energy link she had kept within the spike to keep it from breaking when the beast fell on it. She stumbled back a few feet, bringing her right hand to her forehead as she closed her eyes tightly. When she regained her barings she cracked open her left eye to peer at Citedal and Solumone from her bent over position. She could barely catch the man's words, but what she heard was enough to let her know he knew this creature and that was just another reason Scytheress concluded to stay away from the people around this place. They brought nothing good.
Seeing Citedal should have, or would have startled most to their knees but the grotesque forms coming from its body intrigued her more than scared her away. Each figure, each writhing arm only served to increase Scytheress's curiosity even though the creature had attempted to destroy them all. However interested she was, Scytheress reigned her desires to find out and held her ground away from it as it vaulted into the sky.
Scytheress knew there was no way she could make it to any other section of the school without collapsing on the way there, and there were no open areas within the Courtyard either, the space in and beneathe the tree had been occupied and hte fountain was destroyed. Giving way to practicality Scytheress sat down where she was, folding her legs in front of her and leaning over them with her arms wrapped over her stomach. Her forehead reached the ground she sat on and felt pleasantly cool against her skin. She let out a deep breath and relaxed. Normally she'd pull her wings around her as a covering but she didn't feel like wasting hte energy to summon them back.

Acid landed hard sicking at least an inch into the blood soaked ground. He himself was covered with the red stuff and the stink was getting to him. He reached his hand out to prop himself up, his hand slipped and he cursed loudly. He tried again and managed to get to his feet. "Ugh........ Is there a laundro-mat around?"
Acid stood up straight and eyed the bloated mess that was Citedals corpse, what a soar sight for fine eyes and he thanked God he wasn't the one to clean it up. He pulled out his soggy pack of cigs and yanked one free from the box, he lit it with difficulty and inhaled blood spattered as it was. The air filled with a sweet heavenly scent of vanilla and a little something extra.
Acids eyes glazed over slightly (though you couldn't see it from behind his shades) and he headed back to the hotsprings for a little TLC... I earned it after all... Not every day I fight for the lives of a school... Although I don't see why more people didn't help. Acid stretched his arms and yawned loudly as he walked off into the sunset, let the informed deal with the clean-up he felt like getting drunk.

Marrow sighed as she laid on the bench. She was stiff and a little beat up from her test. The orc really had it out for her. She felt dull and alone as she smelled the wind. Taqune from the smell of it was with Galea and most likly flirting. She knew that it would happen. She crumpled up the tickets and threw them on the ground with a single tear falling from her face. "Well it was nice while it lasted" She said as she held back the tears.

Haruko walked into the courtyard after coming from the library. Thankfully, Gen let Haruko get a book without any pain. Haru borrowed another book on Alchemy, more of an advanced level. When he left the library, he started to read it as he walked. He entered that courtyard while, still, reading his book. He noticed Marrow sitting on a bench with her head down. He wanted to make sure she was all right. "Hey Marr! Isn't it funny how we always seem to run into each other?" Haru said as he rubbed his black eye.
