Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kazuma had stepped inside the room and simply moved out of the way once he'd got in there. He didn't like this when it had started, and he liked it even less now that he was in a situation with so many of the ten in one room. It's not that he was worried about death. No, it wouldn't happen now. Not now that he'd started following Chochmah around. Unless he rebelled. He entertained the thought for a few moments, then realized that Mouki had made his way inside, and he would have been dead before he could have made his way toward the sword in the corner of the room.

Speaking of the sword..Kazuma had noticed it earlier. It was beautiful. He could tell from just being near it that it was powerful. A work of art. His pride took over as he slowly, and proudly strode across the room, ignoring the other beings in the room. He had no interest in their conversation, and little interest in either of them. He stopped at the sword and picked it up. He looked over the sword slowly..Images briefly flashed in his mind, of earlier in his life. His own sword tearing his master to pieces. Massacring a few of the other students there..all the other people, warriors or not, that he had killed in his life so far. He shook his head, his heart was beating hard, and much faster than normal. He tried to clear those images from his mind. As he slowly came back to his senses, He slid the sword and it's sheath into their resting place. He sat down in the same corner that the sword had been resting in. He finally spoke to the two people in his room. "Try not to keep me up, please." With that, Kazuma leaned his head against the wall and shut his eyes. He'd need the rest, of that he was sure.

Murmuring a word of thanks, Ichida took the bowl of stew from Hakkyou. Gently, she held it up, tipping it to her lips. She quietly drank in the broth as the steam rose from the bowl. She nodded at Hakkyou, gesturing her admiration at the well-prepared meal. "Perhaps it is I who should be paying closer attention to the meal preparations..."

She finished off the broth, then dug a set of chopsticks out of her sack and began to eat the small cubes of meat in the bottom of the dish. As she finished off the last one, she couldn't help but ask, "...Is this...Octopus?" As soon as Ichida had said it, she had felt ridiculous. What kind of woman (who had any cooking skills at all) Would have trouble guessing the type of meat used in a meal? Furthermore, how would Hakkyou have gotten Octopus so early in the morning (and from a stream no less) without going several miles to a market? She sighed and bowed her head. It was too early. She lacked sleep...and common sense.

((Bump, be gone for around a week at most, but I'll try to get on as soon as I can. Please keep it going <_<))

(Bump to stay alive..)

((I will be posting within the next few days. ^_^ SOorry about the wait.))

Hakkyou passed right by the men and spoke as he did so not seeming to care about their situation. "Come now, we can't be late to meet up with the others...I would hate to miss out on meeting with them." His eyes stared ahead as he looked at the city in the far distance. He had to be there by night. He wanted to meet with these men, these giants of men that knew their abilities as if there was nothing else that could be possible to obtain. He wanted to kill again...

A man was crouched nearby Yumi on the rooftop. His peering eyes gazing at the back of her head in silence. He looked out as he watched uncomprehensible scenes below. He had to get back to a powerful state, but he couldn't kill, he refused to do that any longer. It just...wasn't condonable in his own mind. He breathed without a sound and finally spoke softly so that Yumi could hear him. "They say...that experience is the best mentor, and that at one time or another, everyone loses the one thing that lifted them up above all others around them...

((Second bump >_< Come on people, don't let this thing die. It's been going so long and so well. @_@))

((I'll be giving this thread an extra week since it IS our oldest left and has been going so great until the guilds left... sweatdrop ))
