Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eien looked down before cocking her head slightly, raising an eyebrow at hearing a little voice. She was right in the sense that this little one would learn fast, this was a good thing in a way. Help as much as she can, smiling softly down too her Eien nodded. Silver star velvet sky eyes gleaming well saying,

=...yes... very, very good chibi-kage...=

Giving the child that nickname put a small stab in her heart but she ignored it and the named suited Fuin. Little shadows... little shadow, yes it would do. Cocking her head, she glanced over her shoulder and saw the doctor coming near. The star on her brow glowed dim, they both needed food. And with a full stomach and rest maybe she would speak more. This would be grand.

Looking down to her red robin shaded eyes Eien shifted her slightly to see the flames.

Nodding her thanks to the doctor before he disappeared back into the maze of tents, Eien let out a silent giggle as Fuin wiggled about her lap. Nearly naked again like a little ninja on a mission. A thought came to her then as Eien reached out with her hand, annd slowly with her slim fingers pointed with a lazy nature to the flames. Her star on her brow seemed to shine a little brighter as did the glow of the fire embers. Then turning her palm upward, and making a comward motion with her hands. Nothing happens for a moment before a star, oh so faint red star appears within the middle of the pleasent amber glows. The inner chamber a brillant ruby well the outer a lovley scarlet. Motionng then with her hand, the star starts to come to them from the flames before seemingly to shrink in size as the distance closed between it and Fuin. Finally it stopped within her reach, the size now of her little plam. Plusing with a gently glow, but not painfully to touch. Almost like a glowing light toy if you will. Smiling, Eien hoped that Fuin could use this eternal firehoshi if needed.

Looking to the food, she reaches over and takes a piece of the bread and dips into the broth for aboout ten seconds. Bringing it out and ripping it off a soaken piece. Eien holds it to Fuin's mouth to eat, smiling down to her too take it. It is good and she thinks the little one will like it. She would eat after Fuin, the young one needed food for now. Hearing the small noise she cooes to her quietly. Not noticing as the woman pointed and gapped at them. Tthe silver haired woman and the little girl being within her pregnant lap.

(( Meh. To avoid complications, and since he didn't really do/accomplish anything durring his brief stay, I'm just going to pretend that the random biker never actually showed up... since... ya know... it just makes it easier on me or something. I 'unno.

Since the only person who seemed to notice him was Night, and they exchanged all of like 2 sentences, I think it'd be pretty easy to just pretend he was never here... ))

A bird chirps in the distance, the midday sun still high in the sky, though the shadow cast over the edge of the forest by the stadium walls and the large blood dome surrounding them seemed almost to mock the bright light of the sun.

Reaper had slipped out of the tent early that morning just before the sun was beginning to rise over the horizon. Walking out of the encampment Shin had brought her to last night. That was certianly a experience she would never forget. Walking out a few yards till she was about ten yards away from the encampment.

Once there she stopped to take in a few slow and deep breaths. Setting down her sword and gauntlets beside her feet as she stood there. Lifting her arms up her hands level with her chest. Then stretched out towards the shadows her fingers would curl in towards her palm. The shadows beginning to move towards her. The right hand opened up fully and slowly went gliding back and down wards towards her hip palm facing the shadows.

Part of the shadows came slithering toward the direction of her right hand while the other kept the rest at bay. Then she would take the left and slowly drag it towards her right hand. To the point where all her fingers and two thumbs were pointing down at the shadow. Slowly and smoothly she would raise her hands upwards. The shadow beginning to rise up out of the ground becoming three dimensiol like the rest of the world.

It was the basic steps of meditation and focus. The best way to teach yourself to have patience and to have smooth graceful movements in your actions. Like she was with her sword all of her movements were smooth and graceful as if dancing a to a slow song. Her left hand would then move back out and head to her other hip the shadow following through the air in the same graceful movements that she was making.

Reaper opened her single eye the blind one covered by the bandanna again. She pushed her hands downwards leading the shadows back into the ground and let her fingers uncurl. Releasing her hold on the shadows letting them return to their place as the sun continued to rise. While she turned around to face Shin she would snatch up her sword and gauntlets strapping them back on.

"Good morning, Shin." Reaper answered lowering her head and shoulder forward and down a bit in a small bow.

"Did you sleep well? I noticed you were not sleeping on the floor this morning when I first woke."

"Just running through the basic routines." Reaper answered. "Usually, I would train from dawn till I get hungry then I would start training again."

It used to drive her teachers crazy how hard she would push herself daily to raise her skills further. But, they also respected her for it as well becaus she never was one to give up so easily.

"I usually don't sleep so well either." Actually she didn't but that was normal. "Too many nightmares."

"Well...I train that much but I never actually had a single teacher. I got switched around a lot because I was a pretty rough kid when I was younger. Always got into fights." Reaper explained.

Reaper grinned to herself remembering those times she always found herself in a fight when she was a kid. But..most of those fights were over how the kids used to treat her younger siblings. The reminder of her siblings made the grin vanish from her lips and her face sadden a bit for a few seconds before she put those memories to the back of her mind.

"But..that why I have come here. Because I heard of the academy thinking that it would teach me how to further lengthen my skills. I don't train for the glory or the money nothing of that sort." Reaper continued. "But..since your vice-captain..wouldn't you be a bit busy to train someone?"
