Welcome to Gaia! ::

The added weight barely made a difference as Sohki took hold of the back of the hive boy's jacket. Any hitting or struggles went unnoticed as he tightened his grip to keep the boy in place. The bones on Sohki's back began to pop and crackle as they rearranged to accommodate the wings that appeared a moment later. In only seconds those wings snapped open and Sohki took flight. "I'm assuming you wanted a ride?" Sohki asked with a devilish grin now more than fifty feet in the air and still climbing.

The boys still on the ground didn't know quite what to do when Sohki took to the air with one of their friends. They could use magic but it was strictly forbidden outside of class on school grounds, if they were caught they could easily be expelled.

The group that surrounded Lina turned when Poke yelled toward them, at least all except the senior that had her corner. He wasn't about to let her get away so easily, especially since it was becoming so troublesome.

"Keep them busy," He shouted, reaching out to take hold of Lina's arm.

Complying, the rest of the group ran forward to keep Poke and her friend's occupied. Since Poke was in the lead the hive swarmed her, two of the boys throwing punches. Apparently they did not hold Sohki's sediments on not picking on or hitting girls.

Mitsu had left her last class rather late. Her intention had been to go to the music room and play piano for a bit but something else was weighing on her mind. Shifting her messenger bag, she headed toward the school nurse. She would just ask for the ointment and bandages. Maybe she wouldn't have to explain. Trotting over to building A Mitsu came to a stop outside the nurses office. She had seen it on her way to the main office building earlier this morning. With a deep breath to calm herself she peeked her head inside. "Um...hello?"

Seeing the nurse was in Mitsu stepped into the room. She fidgeted with the strap of her bag for a moment as she contemplated how this would go. "I was wondering...If I could get some ointment for cuts maybe? And some bandages." She spoke softly as she looked at Atticus, hoping he wouldn't ask questions. She wasn't good at lying so hopefully it wouldn't come to that.

Atticus's eyebrow raised slightly at her request. "Of course I do. But I usually don't just hand out tubes of ointment and bandages to students... And... You don't really look injured." The doctor mused. Upon closer inspection, one could see there was a nice red mark left on his cheek from the renegade violin case, though he was doing his best to forget about it.

Lina's eyes grew wide with fright, watching Sohki grow a pair of wings and then fly skyward holding one of the seniors. Wishing she was somewhere else at this moment she then heard someone shouting, and looked down to see poke running towards her at full speed, followed by Ken and Varn. "Guys!" she called out with relief, but that wa soon washed away as her arm was grabbed. "Ah! let go of me!" crying out, she began to tug the other way. Perhaps she should of listened to poke and learned all those moves she talked about in regards to escaping someones hold....

Poke barely had time to register sohki had grown a pair of wings before the rest of the group had ran towards her. She heard Ken shout something behind her but didn't register it. She kept running, not caring that they had now surrounded her. As the two boys started to throw punches at her she ignored held up her arms and plowed into them. The impact though didn't allow her to keep moving forward, since the seniors would weigh more then she did, and ended up causing her to stumble backwards, stunned from the impact.

"Oh man..." Ken was no fighter, and the whole situation had turned from bad to worse in literally a few seconds." quick, we need to get those guys off poke before they all fight her at once!" He hurried to were poke and the rest of the hive was, grabbing the jacket of one of them and trying to pull him backwards.

Varn however, decided for a more intense option. He ran towards the group and, once he was beside ken he jumped forward, using his body weight tried to shove more of the seniors out of the way in hopes to clear a path.

"Wha....WHAT? No no no, you don't understand," If Mitsu's face could be any redder it would have been as she threw up a hand flailing it about as she tried to explain. "It's not...Nothing like that....I wouldn't." Rather defeated in her attempt to try and explain, since it no doubt appeared like she was trying to cover up the horrible truth, she sighed ducking her head as she held out her hand. She tried to think of how many bandages Riyo would need....a lot. Maybe she could get by with- "May I please have five, Sir?" She said softly. If her brother ever found out she would never live this down.

The two seniors Poke ran into stopped in their tracks only stunned for a few seconds but still on their feet. They, along with the others, were about to go for Poke again but her two friends were quick to show up. Being pulled back by his jacket, the hive boy turned in quick retaliation, his fist drawn back ready to throw a punch. While Varn had a few of the others occupied that only left one boy to focus on Poke.

"Show me what you got, Princess." The boy taunted as he came at Poke again throwing another punch.

"Oh no, I wouldn't drop you." Sohki confirmed with a toothy grin. "I would merely be putting you down as you requested. You didn't specify how close to the ground that had to be." Now that the boy had little choice in the matter, Sohki shifted him a bit before changing his direction. In a steep dive he headed back toward the ground with the boy in tow, only turning up at the last second to fly parallel with the ground. At top speed he flew only five or so feet off the ground before he suddenly let the boy go, the momentum carrying the hive boy onward toward the senior that had Lina pinned against the clock tower. Once his hands were free Sohki quickly veered away and landed to see how it would all turn out.

Tightening his grip on Lina's arm in an almost painful way, the senior started to jerk her back. "Don't think you're going anywhere. Your friends have caused a great deal of trouble already and trust me you're going to be the one to - OOF!" One moment the senior was there, intensity in his eyes, the next he was flying off his feet, his grip on Lina suddenly forgotten. He went flying a few feet before landing in a tumble. When he was coherent enough to sit up he tried to take off, though he stumbled and fell as he went. There was no way he was going to try and stick around now. This was all a little too much.

"Eh?" She would have tried to laugh and ask what on earth she would be hiding, but she knew before she even started that it would only make it worse. "Eheh, right. Thank you, Mr. Rall." She tried to smile, though it was forced, taking the bandages from his hand and the ointment off the table. "Well....." She paused before backing up out of the room. "I best be going. Thank you again, Mr. Rall." As quick as a light she was off, to embarrassed to stay any longer. She only hoped Riyo wouldn't be mad.

Running the whole way, her mind focused on one thing, it took her no time to return to the dorms. Slightly out of breath she hunched over at the entrance door, Tobi coming to greet her. "Ah, hey boy." She patted his head lightly, the dog giving a happy yip as she did so. "I remembered to grab you a treat." Standing back up Mitsu searched through her bag pulling out from leftovers she had saved from lunch. "Here." Holding them out Tobi was quick to scarf them down, his tail wagging profusely.

Giving the dog one last pat on the head, Mitsu made her way upstairs. She had been about to knock but remembered the lecture on how this was her room too....despite how the lack of knocking had gotten her in trouble this morning. Oh well, here went nothing. Opening the door slowly she peeked her head inside before slowly shuffling into the room, the bandages and ointment held behind her back.

"R...Riyo?" Mitsu asked softly as she came into the room. It would seem that she had gotten into some sort of scuffle that hadn't ended well for her. Setting her things down by her bed she made her way over to Riyo's bed side, the bandages and ointment clutched in her hands. "Y...your hair.....has a foot print in it. Are you..." Of course she wasn't okay. Who would be okay after having their head stepped on? Face filled with worry she reached up the touch the girl's shoulder. "Should....should we tell the dorm supervisor? She might be able to help?"
