Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyuubi hled his head. The anger was swelling. It was one thing to kidnap one person, but to endanger the entire castle, and possibly land. That was too much. Satori was losing it. He was gonna lose the thing he wanted to control. Kyuubi knew Satori was doing this only to anger him but that thought was thrown to the back of his mind. He had to get out of this fire. He wouldn't leave until this fire was gone. He frantically looked for an opening. There wasn't one. He would have to run through the fire. He took a deep breath and ran through to where he hoped was safe. The pain was unbeleiveable. He had been burned by his brother before but never like this. The fire engulfed him. He knew he wouldn't be able to put it out as long as Satori was near.

He burst free of the forest and as he thought he was on fire. He decided to do the only thing he could think of to stop it. He created new fire around his body and pushed it outward. It worked. The explosion made Satori's fire get off of him. He was burned and he knew it. He panted hard. He looked back at the fire. A figure stepped out of it. His brother. "Saotri" he panted angrily.

"Oh, Kyuubi your eyes are all red" Satori said in a fake brotherly tone. "Is something wrong." he smiled.

Kyuubi couldn't hold it any longer the anger was ready to explode from him. Suddenly it felt as if he had fallen asleep. He was seing something that wasn't real but he knew it was. He wasn't in control any longer. He flung at Satori with lightning running through his hands. That is all Kyuubi remembered. He woke up and everything was fine. He was on the grass. The forest next to him was ash. There was no sign of blood. Not even a sign of someone fighting back. The only marks he saw he knew he made. He was ashamed of himself he let himself lose control. He made the forest regrow. It took a while but it was back to normal. After that he stood there. He heard someone breathing heavily, scared. He looked and saw Vincent.

((wow that was long for me lol))

"I go here because I think I was meant to...” Meant to huh? He was one of those people? If that was his idea of his destiny, than that is all right with him. Ellie sat down on the ground. Her legs were straight and bony. They also were tiny, just like the rest of her tiny body. That’s what happens when you’re trapped in your 7 year old body. It was always weird when she first switched bodies. Since her main body was a 16-year-old girl while her spirit body was a 7 year old. Those two forms were very different.

"If you don't go to Genius, why are you here?" Why was Ellie here? Well, that was obvious. She watched over her big brother. However, how could she explain that to Ryuuki? She should just give him a complete lie. Ah yes, a lie would be nice. That was if he asked the direct question about whom she watched over. She could not tell him she watched over Joe. That would give her away if she had ever signed up for this school, which she might.

“I watch over the school.” Ellie announced. She looked up at him and tilted her head to the side. She knew that in her seven-year-old spirit body, it would hopefully bull s**t her way through. At least prevent him from asking far to many questions. Ellie no longer felt like standing her to give him the chance to ask him questions though.

“I’m sorry to be rude, but I must get going.” Ellie announced and well, disappeared. It wasn’t fully disappearance. It was just the way she moved from place to place in spirit mode. In a couple of minutes, Ellie had moved from her old location to the house she had taken over. Her real life body was asleep on her bed. Honestly, this spirit thing was beneficial for her body. Ellie moved over and quickly took over. She had to shudder at the transform of atmospheres. Everything was always amplified in her human body. She could touch and feel everything. She was actually there. That is why she loved this body, it was so perfect.

(( Now, I’m putting Ellie on hold for a couple of days RP wise. I might bring her back when Thorne comes back ))

Ryuuki stared at where Ellie had been previously standing. Watching over the school...? Ryuuki thought to himself, a ittle confused. When the girl had said that, he had seen a slight change of color coming from her, as well as a strange feeling, though he wasn't sure what it meant.
Why would the school need to be watched over? he thought to himself as he looked back at the massive structure that was Genius Academy. With all of the super powered people that attended the school, he had always figured it was a very safe place. Ryuuki shook his head and dismissed the thought. She was probably just getting a little uncomfortable around me. It was a little awkward I suppose... Ryuuki thought to himself as he walked off towards the school, his right hand glowing as he did so. He rose his arm up above him, creating a swirling vortex which sucked him in. Just as soon as he was sucked into the vortex, he floated out of it, returning to the original dimension that he was most used to. Ryuuki looked around at the students on campus. A lot of them seemed to have been relaxing and enjoying the day off. Ryuuki lied down, levitating only a few inches above the grass. He stared up at the clouds in the sky, deep in thought.

[[My eyes burn from the awesomeness of that post!]]

Ryuuki lied down looking up at the clouds that had passed the sky. He had lost track of time, and had forgotten how long he had been resting. So far, he had seen a cloud that had been shaped like a strange dragon, a boat, and half a spaceship of some sort. He had also been close to have been crapped upon by a bird, though he managed to avoid that.

Will this day ever end... Ryuuki thought to himself as he sat upright. Ryuuki started to watch an ant colony at work, watching how they're bodies moved and how they worked together, to overcome the obstacle of their short stature. Ryuuki stared at them for a few more minutes, until he felt a slight pull that was originating from above him. The grass around him started to point straight upward, and a few ants started floating up, as if they had gained the ability of flight. Ryuuki jerked his head upward, right in time to see the swirling white vortex that was above him, sucking him in. Ryuuki panicked, not sure of what was happening. "HEL-" was all he managed to yell before getting sucked into the void, along with a few ants. The vortex immediately closed back up.

Ryuuki stumbled out of the vortex that had opened above him, landing quite hard on his head. Ryuuki rubbed his head to soothe the pain. Wait a minute... pain? he thought to himself. Phantoms can't feel pain... Ryuuki looked down at his hand, shocked to see the fleshy pinkish skin on it. "What the-" Ryuuki thought to himself out loud. He looked around, shokced to see his surroundings. The place seemed very familiar, in fact it was hard to forget. The white emptiness that seemed to make up this dimension was not something one would forget. Ryuuki looked up, to see a woman standing beside him. "Hello again... Ryuuki." The familiar woman said.

Where did you go now?
Oh, where did I leave you...?
I must find you somehow, while you're so easy to get to.
Why can I hear you breathing?
Oh, I'm not far behind.

"Chrissy," a voice announced from behind him, the tone slathered sweetly with honey and at the same time apathetic. Kyle looked back so quickly that he could have experienced an extremely painful whiplash. Her eyes locked onto his, bemusement evident in the pools of acid green. He blinked, surprised she had managed to find him. She was usually so disorientated in crowded places.

"Mom." He bit his lip, gaze shifting down to the less-threatening looking linoleum on the floor. "...where's Da-," he begun, soon having the wind knocked out of him once he was wrapped tightly in a bear hug, courteous of his father. He wheezed, and the death grip loosened to the point of discomfort, but he didn't feel like his lungs were going to explode.

"Chris!" His father greeted, a big grin plastered across his face. Kyle smiled politely, nodding. "Haven't seen you in a while, kid - wha'dve these blokes been feeding you? You look like yer on th' edge of anorexia. You have been eating, right?" Kyle rolled his eyes, giving the wall his undivided attention.

"Yeah," He gestured lamely to the tray that had been abandoned in front of him for emphasis, the remains of pizza crust still scattered across it. His father nodded, slapping him on the back. Kyle cringed a little.

"We have some...catching up to do," his mother interjected, staring pointedly at the back of Kyle's head.

"Sure," he said easily, like it wasn't a big deal. But it was a big deal, at least to him. These are the same people that threw his scrawny a** out on the street because he had strained the relationship between them since he'd accidentally killed his uncle, because he had made the fears that plagued their sleep come to life. The people who had practically spat on him as they shrieked for him to get the hell out with pure unbridled hatred in their eyes.

That had been nearly a year ago. He had fought tooth and nail to get to the point of where he was now, and yet still hadn't gotten a firm grasp on his 'abilities'. Even now, he was still accidentally scaring skittish freshmen, and had seen a few creepy-crawlies through out the school that had probably been his fault from coming in contact with a bug-phobic.

Dammit, Darren, man up! he told himself, throwing one of the fakest smirks he could muster at his parents. His mother raised a penciled-on eyebrow at him, and his father grinned back.

s**t. That throbbing in the back of his head was starting again, with a renewed vengeance.

Meredith watched as the kid’s scowl turned into a smile, well, more of a grimace. Anyway, it was somewhat of an improvement. He was still pondering her offer for coffee. It might have been the easiest question to answer, yet it was seriously some sort of dilemma for him. Nonetheless, in a matter of moments his grimace was turning into a slight smile, not a big one, but a slight upward turn of his lips. “…Yeah” Meredith smiled at his response. He seemed very iffy about it. Meredith was not a b***h, most of the time. Therefore, he would be fine.

“I’m Meredith, follow me.” Meredith announced and waited for the kid to get up and follow. Once he did, she led him straight towards the Legend Lounge. She quickly typed in her code and the door quickly unlocked. Right when she stepped in she could smell the intoxicating smell of coffee and vanilla, the typical smell of the room. She stepped in and scanned the room. It had three comfortable faux leather couches. One huge wide screen TV, that went along with the Xbox, Play Station, and wii stored into the maroon colored cabinet right next to the TV. On the other side of the room there was a medium sized table surrounded with some chairs. There also was a small kitchen area, complete with a microwave, stove, fridge, coffee maker, and sink. None of the floor was carpeted; instead, it had a deep brown wooden tile. Basically, this was one of the nicer rooms in the whole school. Ales there was a student with awesome remolding skills, this room was boss. “Welcome to the legend lounge.” Meredith introduced and skipped to the coffee maker. Obviously, someone had already started the coffee this morning, because it was ready to pour.

Meredith opened the cabinet right above the kitchen like counter. She grabbed some coffee mate vanilla flavoring and some sugar. She then filled her coffee cup about ¾ of the way and filled the rest of the cup with vanilla flavoring. She finished her drink by adding an unreasonable amount of sugar. There was one thing that Meredith could not stand, and that was black coffee. Meredith then sat down on one of the seats surrounding the table and looked at the kid, with a smile plastered on her face. He was a decent looking kid. Especially since his bright red curls were adorable. They probably were super hard to maintain. Then again, he was a boy so he might not really care. He was a good height, just a little shorter than Meredith was. He looked younger, like two to three years. Then again, he was a senior wasn’t he? At least, she saw him with a group of seniors. He could also be a junior. Of course, the most important thing to find out was his name.

“So, what’s your name?” Meredith asked, feeling slightly idiotic for not asking previous.

Once Joe got in his dorm, He he felt like he needed to go somewhere. He changed into some sweats and then jogged towards his car. When he stepped into his navy blue Chevy truck he turned on the engine and started driving away. The drive was relaxing, probably the most relaxing thing he did all day. His stereo was blasting his favorite Framing Hanley CD and he was going about 10 mph over the speed limit. In a matter of minutes, he arrived at the lake near the school. He put his car into park and locked the door. Then he started his run.

Thoughts of his mother, Mitsukai, or Nikky all disappeared in the rhythm of his running. The burn of exercise was his escape. To some it might have been time with their religion. To some it may have been painting a picture. To Joe, it was running. His thoughts were on the movement of his legs. All he could hear was the blasting of his iPod. It was tranquil and calming. No one could disturb him. If a thought would slip through, he’d just run faster. Right now, all that mattered was moving and moving. Keeping a steady pace. Breathing in through his nose and out through his mouth.

However, what would happen once he was done? Would his mother come back? Would she force herself into his life? Would she tear down all his walls and leave him broken. How would she treat him? Would he hurt her like he hurt Ellie?

‘Run faster.’His thoughts interrupted. Therefore, he ran faster. He allowed his feet to do the thinking. Allowed them to lead down this very familiar path. ‘Turn here, jump here, slow down here, and speed up here’ His feet directed, leading him through every pathway.

If only life was that simple?

Like seriously, what was up with Nikky and Riah? They always bickered now. They never tried to hang out. Weren’t they supposed to be best friends? Was his circle of friends really falling apart? What would he do without them?

‘Run faster’ Josephs’ feet directed. He instantly sped up. There was a bend coming up, he’d have to be careful with the turn. Then a bridge he'd have to cross, it was shaky and old. He would have to stay on the left side since the right was unstable for running. Joseph reached the bend and turned like he was an expert. Then he reached the bridge and stayed to the left.

How was he going to fix Mitsukai? She was such a wreak. Broken and torn apart. All because of that Thorne kid. If Joe ever got a hold of him, he was going to tear him apart! Rip him to shreds. He had better not ever come back. Joe would destroy him. Maybe an earthquake would work, put him in the ground. Bury him alive.

Joe’s feet did not have to tell him to speed up, the shaking ground did. Therefore, Joe speed up. He was going faster than his normal run. Probably because he had more things on his mind than usual. Nonetheless, he had to focus on the movement of his feet. He had to avoid the uneven patches of dirt. He had to avoid the twigs. Slow down at unstable areas, and speed up at others. It was the rhythm of his world. The burn of exercise. The acceleration and deceleration. His breathing pattern. Those were the things that were healthy to think about. Those were the things that kept him safe.
