Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nagi, now panicking for he knew that she was leering down upon him, standing almost directly behind him. He continued digging through the usual notebooks and water bottles he usually carried before he noticed something that was in there that wasn't there before. It wasn't a very large item. From what Nagi could feel it was a box at the very bottom of his bag for some reason. Perhaps it was stashed so deep to lessen the chances of it falling out and getting lost. Either way, it was something, and that was better than nothing at this point.

Is this it?

"Yeah... you don't remember putting it in there because I did it while you slept."

You mean you used my body in my sleep?! Tenchi!

"Never mind that right now. It's the only thing that's going to save you now. Better give it to her!"

Right.

Very quickly, Nagi pulled the small box from its nesting place and turned on his knees. He didn't stand up nor did he raise his head at first. His hands were reached out in front of him with the small box resting on his palms- presenting it to her.

"I'm very sorry." he said quickly. "I didn't mean to forget... This is for you. Please accept it."

He didn't want it to sound so dramatically desperate but at that point he wasn't really paying attention to the way he sounded. It was at that moment when he raised his head to gaze up at her that his eyes no longer showed any fear for he had quite a lot of time to remember (while being chased) that day when they first met- When he ran into her and Yomiko, how she tried to speak to him when he was so shy, and the first time he remembered talking to a girl then topped it off with shun-poing into a tree. He was so shy and clumsy back then but Yuki had the patience to help him and then eventually fall in love with him.

"I do remember." he said, now assuming his usual friendly smile. With that, he opened the box with his thumb and suddenly gulped for he realized that he had no idea what was within it. He could have killed Tenchi at this moment.

Inside the box lay a single gold ring with a round cut ruby embedded in the center and the word "promise" engraved inside the band. This was something he had picked up a while ago but was so nervous in giving it to her that he somehow forced the idea out of his head all together. He could have thanked Tenchi for this but was willing to strangle him at the same time.

Nagi remained calm, figuring that there was no turning back now. It was now up to Yuki how this was going to turn out. All he could do is wait and anticipate this end.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Nagi returned to his feet, proud of what he had just accomplished though his heart was still racing. His joy made him forget about the stinging red hand print still visible on his cheek and he smiled as he watched her place the ring on her finger. As expected, it seemed to accent her personalty- the red ruby glinting in the sunlight like the fire that burned inside her. He couldn't imagine anything more perfect.

All this time, he was mentally thanking the disgruntled angel that lived inside his head. If it wasn't for him, Nagi would have never gotten the courage to give it to her. It was also Tenchi that gave him the idea of a ring. He had said it represented something special and that it somehow created a bond between two people that loved each other. Unfortunately, he didn't bother to explain anything further, leaving Nagi to take the initiative and figure it out on his own.

"I'm glad." he said, blushing slightly as he continued to remember the deep meaning behind this particular gift. The word that had been etched inside the band was something he had done of his own accord. His next words might have sounded a bit cheesy to most but he spoke with sincerity, showing that he was serious. "I promise that no matter what happens, I will never leave your side."

Due to height difference, Nagi had to bend down a bit to examine the tiny picture within the small silver case. The glint from the sunlight blinded him slightly but there wasn't too much difficulty in deciphering who's faces were looking back at him. It took him a moment to realize that it was a photograph but how it was taken was somewhat of a mystery. Perhaps it was done covertly without his knowledge. Whoever the photographer was, he was quite cunning, considering there would be a great chance of Nagi being camera shy. Despite his interest in the image, he was extremely thankful of it. It was the perfect reference for the perfect memory that he was sure to never forget.

As Yuki had embraced him to clasp the small chain around his neck, he placed both arms lightly on her back and bent down slightly lower so that she wouldn't have to strain herself attempting to reach around him.
"Thank you very much." he grinned, his mouth next to her ear as he spoke in somewhat of a whisper.

Toon walked into the kidou grounds, looking around for a second before walking over near a tree. He put his staff and zanpakuto against the tree, leaning while still standing upwards. He knew there would be no need to grab them in a hurry, but always made sure that wherever he left them, that they would be accessible when needed. After that he walked out into the width of the tree's shade, sitting down crosslegged... swishing his tail back and forth as he waited.

Rawtoon's left eye twitched, as he opened his mouth taking a breath as if he were about to get up. This was keenly used to show acknowledgement the presence of his teacher for this evening. He then used his tail to lean himself forward, and was then standing straight up as well as now turning to Suri.
"Good to see you, are you ready to begin?" he asked her in his low-modest tone...

(( I agree))

"Salutations." Raw said, walking back over to the tree, leaning his back against it, making sure to smooth his fur to where it didn't get ruffled.
Now to await instructions, he thought to himself.

Nicholas openly gawked. Okay, so maybe not so openly, thanks to his freaky Guy Fawkes mask that gave him the impression that he was constantly amused, but nonetheless he gawked.

"Question." He raised his hand immediately afterwards. "Do you have some kind of bloodline related, super magical awesome powered attack related to your eyes, or are they just naturally that awesome?"

Nicholas too began demonstrating his ability to talk and do at the same time, an ability gained from the fact that he never shut up, even in life or death situations, and began charging up a ball of crackling sky-blue reiatsu and let it grow to the same size as Suri's.

It wasn't particularly hard...afterall, he did have several shikai-related attacks based off the simple exercise of creating a ball of reiatsu...

Nicholas contemplated making more balls of reiatsu, just so he could start juggling...

"So, Rawtoon," he tried next in an attempt to distract himself. "Ever kill a guy with your tail?" The idea seemed to strangely appeal to Nicholas. "If not, wanna try on me?"

((Ladies and Gentlemen, you are now dealing with what is possibly the most insane and random character you'll ever face. Have fun))
