Welcome to Gaia! ::

"oww..." said miwata, rubbing her wrist "geez! you were strong enough before you left on your training trip, dont go getting so strong you'll hurt me just from giving me even a small hug." she quickly cast a spell that froze the knives "thats enough taiyson! your scaring her half to death!" she said, crossing her arms "i know your always itching for a fight, but don't go too far. theres a limit to these things you know."

Blade watched and shrugged. Um... does anyone know how much work I have missed in a month? she asked. Tons! shouted her angry twin. I'm sorry Blade whined. She stared at the raging girl in white. Ugh why I told you NOT to miss school again she snapped. Last year Blade corrected earning a Luna glare. *coughcough* Blade faked.

Taiyson just glared angrily at Miwata as he formulated a plan. As long as they were in the same room, he couldn't do what he planned to do. The target was in this room right now, so he couldn't just leave. He had to get either the girl or Miwata out of here, though it'd be impossible to do either of those things while his power was being sapped. He could've swore he hid the chains in a secret place. Must've left some lying around. Aw well, don't make something if you don't have a contingency plan for it. Taiyson snapped his fingers and Dragoon appeared, sliced the ropes with his claws, and vanished. "Nice try." Taiyson said as he stood up. He figured Miwata wasn't going to leave him alone, so he figured a tactical retreat was in order. "But I'll get her to retaliate, one way or another." With that, he vanished.

Blade whined. Can someone please tell me what the homework for a month is she begged while batting off her sister. Luna you should know right? what is it Luna blushed and looked down. Oh no.... ohhhh no. So you are telling me that I am irresponsible when I was on early vacation and you were at school. Blade snapped. Luna squeaked and looked down. Blade groaned. Anyone else know she asked.

Taiyson hadn't really left the room. He had melded into the ceiling while waiting for Miwata to leave. When he saw the figure came out of the wall, he thought that she was in actual danger, and was determining whether to see if the blond haired girl would fight back, or to jump to her rescue. But then the figure nodded in his direction, and most of his concern evaporated. He hopped down from the ceiling and created a ring of white-hot flames to surround the three so no one would interfere. He then turned toward the girl and grinned wickedly, hoping that this would get her to retaliate instead of just wet herself. "Let's assess the situation here." He said slowly as he walked toward her just as slow. "A figure sneaked up behind you through the wall and is now preventing you from running. I am a pyromaniac who loves to punch things." He finally got right in front of her and leaned in until he could see the fear in her eyes. "You now only have one option: To incapacitate both me and the figure that has you pinned. Not necessarily in that order." He chuckled softly, amused that he hadn't succumbed to throwing a punch yet. "Now you see that sometimes there are no alternatives to fighting. And when a situation such as this occurs, you have to be well trained to know how to handle it. But then again, just unleashing all your power at once could have the same effect." He paced back and forth in front of her as he talked, trying to give off an air of total superiority to try to make her unleash any power she had. "Since, according to a little birdy, you haven't been participating in training matches, you don't have any experience getting out of messes like these, which gives you but one option; let your power flow freely and unleash it all at once." He said the last statement with such tenacity with the feeling that if this didn't work, he didn't know what would. Aside from just throwing any attacks he could at her.

Taiyson sighed. When she had changed forms, he had expected her to fight back. Or do something more interesting than struggle. He shook his head and sighed again. Time for the last resort plan. He didn't exactly want to do this, but just threatening her apparently would be enough; he'd have to show her he meant business. His hands lit up with fire and he looked at the girl with an emotionally detached face. Then, in a blink of the eye, he had shoved his open palm against her forehead, gripping her temples to put pressure on them. Not enough pressure to where she'd faint, but enough to where it'd hurt. While putting the pressure on, he let the flames on his hand do its job: Burn her head while he was grasping it. He figured two things would happen. Either she would realize she was about to die and unleash all her power to knock him back, or the pain would get to her and she'd lose all rational thought and just squirm more. Those were just guesses though. There could've been a third, forth, or even fifth option. Taiyson just didn't care enough to think of it, since he wasn't the one whose life was in danger.

Taiyson groaned in frustration. He shouldn't have expected anything more than just a few cuts. After all, the girl HAD been skipping out on training. But to collapse from exhaustion from one attack that barely hurt? Taiyson felt a bit disappointed. He'd had to do all this just to see if she'd fight, and there was nothing. He was seriously wondering who the fighting teacher was and was thinking on asking his mother if he could be an assistant or just take over the job entirely. He looked toward Miwata. "Take the girl to the infirmary and get her healed up. I gotta talk to Mom." He looked at the figure, which after a few seconds of observing the eyes, he recognized. He said to her "And thanks for the help. Sorry we couldn't get more out of her." He started to walk out of the cafeteria when the image of the petals cutting through the flames on his hands and the white-hot flames sprang up in his mind again. He looked back at the girl and grinned. Maybe she wasn't so hopeless after all. With that, he exited.

He was again following Lami. Darell didn't understand why, but this girl... Her happiness was contagious maybe? Darell never wanted to smile. But now he felt like it was all he can do.

Maybe this school was the right choice, after all.
