Welcome to Gaia! ::

Brightening up as he just remembered something he yelled out to kana, "Jo, I'm going to leave my cell phone number on the counter so pick up and call for help anytime you need it" Scribbling it down quickly on a sheet of ripped off music score. Sighing he dried off the rest of his body and quickly changed back into his clothes. Picking up his bass and amp within the minute he dissappeared leaving the scrap of paper as the only evidence that he was there.

Rivera had wrapped her towel around her body and entered the hotsprings. She had pinned her hair up with an enormous, silver, chinese dragon shaped hair clip. She took care to have an extra towel around her shoulders, hiding her entire back. The bandages on her arms were discarded already, and the still new wounds hurt as she lowered herself into the water. They stung like hell from the minerals of the spring, but she bore it, getting used to it so she could enjoy a little relaxation after rampaging after demons and all that happened the day before. She turned her neck a little, biting her lip when a lance of pain shot from her spine into her neck and the base of her skull... THAT hurt.

"I've been taking care of some.... buisness..." he said, before repling to the second part of what she said "I bet you have." he said, with a touch of sarcasm in his voice "What am I doing? I'm wearing my cloak, instead of just a towel, is that ok?" he then asked, wondering if that was even allowed in the hotsprings, he figured that it shouldn't matter.

"I figured that, from your talk at the greenhouse about water with kumizu." he said to her. "I havn't seen anyone wear a cloak in the water yet, beside me..." he said to her, a thought popping into his head "I guess that makes me unique!" he then laughed lightly after stating that.

Sakii appeared in the hotsprings and looked around for her sister seeing a snake and others she ran up ot them. "Hello" The mention of a white snake made her stop and looked back. "I saw one over there"She pointed ot the south of the springs. "In a tree" She bowed poliety before them. "I'm Sakii"

Rivera nodded. "Nice to meet you, Sakii... and thanks..." Rivera pulled the towel around her back and shoulders more tightly around her and shed the towel around her chest and lower body. Her legs had turned into a seaserpent's tail, tipped with a mermaid tail like appendage. It was a dark blue color, lined with frilled, translucent fins on long, sharp spines. Along the length of the tail were phosphorescent pearls. Rivera dove down into the water and sped through it like a torpedo towards the tree. Nazumi was there, holding the flute in her hands. They looked at each other, nodded, and Rivera returned, tying her original towel back into place and changing the tail back to her legs.

Kietaru looked over at her brother for a moment, he looked so different when he smiled, almost like he was a whole new person. She could remember, when they first got put into the orphanage by their father, that's when Shojuto stopped smiling. Their mother had died giving birth to them, they never got to see pictures of her, their father was actually embarrassed that he'd ever met her. He took care of them souly because they were his, all he ever did was make them work. Yet, Shojuto always idolized him. Which was probably why he stopped smiling, when the man he idolized abandoned them, he just didn't understand. They were miserable there, everyone picked on them, hated them, because they were half demons. They'd never felt loved, and all they had was eachother.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shojuto looked at Kana intentively and hung on to her every word as she spoke. It was weird, no one but Kietaru ever really talked to him, he wasn't used to being accepted, especially because of his liniage. Being talked to, actually liked by someone, felt weird. He had always thought he'd die without ever having friends, or have gotten to know and talk to anyone of the opposite sex that wasn't family. And all of a sudden, coming to this school just made it happen, somthing about it was strange. He noticed two other girls also enter the hotsprings, they didn't say anything to him so he didn't bother making small talk. He also noticed Kumizu and another guy return after some other guys departure. The coming and going of people was beginning to jumble his mind, so he stopped paying attention. He began slinking down into the water, he was feeling so drowsy, almost like he was about to go unconcious. He shook his head and brought his mind back to reality just before his body hit the bottom of the springs. He swam back to the top and shook his hair slightly trying to get some of the wetness out. He felt strange. Why did that happen so suddenly?

Nazumi in her white snake form swam up to Rivera and twined around her arm, hissing in sympathetic worry. Rivera smiled at the snake and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be fine, don't worry. The four foot long white serpent was one of the poisonous type, too small to constrict anything but maybe small rodents. Rivera looked towards the side at a man who was looking at her snake quite strangely, almost nervously. Nazumi hissed a little, flicking her tongue. Rivera smiled.

"Don't worry, Nazumi won't bite you unless if you provoke her..." Rivera's whispering voice carried on the wind, becoming part of it. "Personally, I think she likes you... " Nazumi bobbed her head, hissing again.
