Welcome to Gaia! ::

forgot to roll, sorry

Karite ran his fingers through his hair as to move it away from his eyes. Looking at where the ball struck he meant to apologize but the sinister humor the drench Akiko's words meant she was not upset. Karite could still not help but to feel a sense of shame for how hard he threw the ball. Holding his tongue though he said nothing and waited for her to throw the ball. She seemed to be concentrating on something else this entire time though. Akiko was focusing as if she were forming some complex summary in her mind. What could she possibly be thinking about that would cause her to become so unfocused made Karite wonder. He had been distracted many times before by the vile poisonous words of the Kun Kumo slime. While he never though an entire clan would become something he hated, for he never knew what a clan was until yesterday. Yet now anyone who bared the name of Kun Kumo was an enemy. Standing with his arms folded across his chest he saw that Akiko's throw was getting weaker. Yet it was still aimed high. Splitting his legs quickly he landed on the ground and let the ball fly over head. "Nice aim Akiko, it was almost a split decision in your favor." She was not the only one who could make a joke or two. Karite noticed though that they were both becoming close to wearing out. It would take everything they had left to finish these exercises.

[Nah, I didn't roll on purpose. Just felt like switching it around and doing it the way you thought made more sense. ^^]

Shin just gave a small head nod as Naoki went to get another cannonball and line up for her next hit. Shin for once, started looking at everyone around him. He had been so captured by what he and Naoki were doing that he hadn't thought about the other kids. Karite was apologizing to Yuki-sensei while Tanu was... still sassing off to everyone. Shin heaved a great sigh as he listened to the words coming out from her mouth to insult Karite and Shisei. The dusty haired boy just really couldn't understand how a girl could go so sour or how anyone could be that mean. He had always heard about boys being bullies at normal schools, but a girl? She was definitely the bully at this academy. He only hoped that no one was really intimidated by her. He heard Karite talking again to his partner. This was really the first time Shin had taken a good look at Karite's partner. She was rather pretty, but looked like she was around 10 years old. With such a cute oval face, Shin was tempted to poke her in the cheek and call her onigiri, but the Nara wasn't one to tease! While in the midst of creating his opinion on the new girl, a cannonball lobbed him right in the side of the face. "Ah!" Shin said more in surprise and then whimpered in pain as he felt his jaw slightly pop from the hit. Bringing up his hand, he rubbed it and moved it around strangely. Now he felt like Yume, checking out girls while in class... Speaking of which, where was Yume? He usually showed up halfway through class, but he wasn't even here.

Akiko smiled at his joke “Nice.” She said complimenting both the way he dodged her sad excuse for a throw and the joke. Karite was a confusing one just looking at him a second ago he seemed upset and grim but now he was offering jokes…and words of encouragement, she noticed the words he gave to Shisei. “At least it changed for the better for at least a moment; I wonder what it will be in a minute or so.” The girl had started thinking again, hadn’t she learned her lesson? Lucky her partner’s words to her brought her back. “I suppose its okay for now since this is our first meeting, though first impressions are important…but since you promised I’ll forgive you.” She said in a joking manner then she noticed the ball. Her eyes widened as she stepped to the side barely avoiding the metal contact. “Why on earth would I respond before dodging?” She mentally slapped herself.

Despite her best efforts, Naoki couldn't help the blush that stained her cheeks when Shin touched her chin. Her teeth released themselves from her lip, though, so it served his purpose. It just left her feeling strangely embarressed. Probably because she wasn't used to being touched so casually... "If you are sure you are alright..." she said, not really sure herself. If it had been her, she would have at least shed a few tears... That, and her skin bruised so easily because of its paleness, she would carry the mark of her mistake for weeks. She walked away again, picking up another cannonball. The young girl waited to make sure he was ready, before throwing it underhanded again. She watched it arc, though it wasn't as high or as powerful as before, thank goodness for that. Personal experience told her that being hit again right after the first time was even more painful...

Karite was switching in and out of what seemed like memories and personalities. With every ball that struck him he switched personalties; with every ball he dodge it brought him closer to home. He did not realize when he left the shores of the wave country that it would affect him so much. The one place his heart never longed for his mind seem unable to extinguish. The blazing inferno of his home and his family were beginning to surface, but there was always the one memory that always drew him back to why he left. His uncle and his words were the most inspirational thing to Karite. His parents were always away on business but his Uncle was always around. He told him, "In order for a man to find his true purpose in life he must flee his past and begin to write his future." That always brought a smile to Karite's face knowing he was doing just that by coming to Shima, of course his uncle most likely meant to join the armies of the wave country, but what fun was that. He would not have met such people there just royals, nobles and swine. Looking up he immediately arched his back slamming his head into the ground. While his back was perfectly arched and he managed to dodge the ball he had banged his head very well. Not to mention he was also stuck in his current form. Rolling onto his side letting himself fall he stood again looking at Akiko. "You always catch me while I am in thought. I don't normally do that. You are a very good medium for thinking." A strange statement to describe anyone but it was true. He never thought so much before until she arrived. Something special about here indeed.

Tanu couldn't help, but roar with laughter as the spit hit the kid straight in the face. He was so dull witted and slow that he couldn't even avoid that!? The Kun Kumo wasn't one for picking on the weak, but the weak ones who didn't know their place needed to be taught a lesson. "Rahaha," Tanu laughed as Shisei started going on about honor. "What would a bakemono know about honor? Your skills are pretty dishonorable! If your looks didn't already insult your clan, I'd say you lack of ability does," Tanu said with a smirk and then her blood got excited as he gave her a challenge. The only thing that made her mad about it was that she didn't think of it first. "Ha! Alright! I'll give you two tries to land a hit on me with both eyes closed. I doubt you could though. The way throw is so sloppy I'm sure that if I stand still you still won't be able to hit me with that kind of aim," Tanu remarked as her eyelids closed away her red and green eyes from those of the snake boy's. As she closed her eyes, she began to calm herself down. If she was all ancy and filled with adrenaline she wouldn't be able to concentrate on when- "OUCH! What the hell!?" Tanu yelled as she felt the ball knock her in the knee. Both her hands instinctively went to her leg as her eyes shot open after the hit. "I didn't say I was ready yet, damn Bakemono-suke!" Tanu growled, her nose wrinkling up with anger like some rabid beast's.

Akiko smiled at Karite’s actions it seems as though he was following her actions of observing, though because of her ball they probably didn’t last as long as they could have.

The autumn child felt her smile growing as she watched the way the apparently flexible boy dodged, though he did seem to be stuck for a few moments “Once again…Nice. Did that hurt?” She said letting her smile drop back into a small one as she began listening to his words. “Sorry, but at least you know how I feel when I’m lost in thought. Thank you.” She said excepting the compliment.

Akiko’s eyes began to watch Karite’s movements as he picked up the ball; she knew this was her time to focus, he would throw soon enough. Her eye’s watched the ball as he spun it in his hand, and she continued her watch as he tossed the ball and caught it. “This is it.” She told herself as she began to feel similar to when they first started, when her body didn’t ache from both muscle use and the pain bringer. She noted the ball was moving lower…heading for leg, she moved accordingly and watched as the ball hit the ground with a small bounce and kept going. She gave a mock smile to the ball as if telling it that it didn’t get her this time, lucky for her she didn’t need a new pain.
