Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akiraa shifted slightly, her gaze rising to Roe when she moved. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's.... odd, she thought.

Ryuusei exhaled, grimacing slightly for a moment. Cut it out... now!! he thought sharply. Cut what out? the thunder elemental replied almost lazily, as if waking up. The damn pheremones.... and you know exactly what the hell I'm talking about, baka-itachi, he thought coolly, the calmness a very clear warning. He felt a tingling itch shoot down his spine almost immediately as he felt the ever so slight warmth fade from his skin. Next time you do that.... you'll wish you hadn't seen behind that door, he thought coolly. He didn't hear the elemental's reply, but that was more than enough confirmation that he knew precisely what Ryuusei was referring to.

Akiraa shifted, smiling sheepishly as she felt the odd sensation low in her belly fade. Is it possible for someone to release pheromones without realizing it? she wondered idly, half to herself and half to Aerie

Ryuusei tilted his head to one side, a faint smile flashing over his lips and fading as Roe spoke. "I'd like to know how I ended up here, to be bluntly honest... not to mention I'd like to understand what happens around here," he said quietly, cutting into the strawberry shortcake.

Akiraa paused with a bite of shortcake a few inches from her mouth when Ryuusei spoke. Is it possible he was born the way he is? And I don't plan on getting to involved with him, though he is interesting, I admit, she replied. She noticed he'd been looking at her when Aerie was speaking, though he hadn't spoken until she'd finished, as if he could sense their link. She doubted he could, however. She felt her eyes widen when the blue energy started leaking from Ryuusei's skin.

Ryuusei cocked his head, glancing at Akiraa and unconsciously noting her body language. "I guess I should reveal it now and save the trouble... though I'm sure we can work together with those things showing up," he said softly. He inhaled slowly, his dark golden bronze eyes closing for a moment. Within seconds, wisps of blue energy seeped from his skin, escaping the tenketsu within his body. "By the ideals I've seen thus far, around here... anyway, I'm not quite fully human, but then... where I come from, the strange by any means turns out to be fairly normal," he said quietly.

Akiraa shivered slightly, hearing an odd humming ring in the back of her mind as she stood, not even noticing Ryuusei did the same. You felt that too... but what was it? she thought to Aerie.

Ryuusei shifted, sensing not the vibration, but the pulse of energy that came with it. He stood slowly, in a half crouching stance from unconscious habit. He could feel his chakra flowing around his arms and hands as the skin gained a slight bluish tint to it. He didn't even think anything odd of it as a reaction to the energy pulse. "Obviously that wasn't normal... but clearly you all sensed it in one way or another," he said quietly, making sure it was clear he'd sensed it, though in a different way from them.

Akiraa exhaled as she darted after Roe, following her example as she too transformed, absently noticing the odd play of deep golden light and deeper blue lights intertwining with hers. She correctly assumed Ryuusei had followed their example, though she was surprised when he accelerated, simply moving slightly to the right as he accelerated.

Sailor Novae froze as he reached the edge of the rooftop, but her mouth dropped open, the light purplish lavender lipstick not all that noticeable as her breath misted in the air. There's something different about him... as if there's another side to him at night, she thought. Her eyes widened as he glanced back at her, his irises a deep golden orange; what really startled her was the oddly beautiful teal flames flickering at the edges of them as he pushed off at the edge of the roof, his armor reflecting the faint light of the waning crescent moon as a dark teal color. There's definitely something different, she thought.

Ryuusei shifted his weight as he leaped, a momentary flicker of blue giving away he'd used his chakra to cling to the power line that led towards where he'd sensed the energy pulse.

Akiraa was several paces behind Roe and Ryuusei, but blinked when she noticed the movement as the bear dropped towards the ground with Ryuusei after it. She gasped as he accelerated, though she was surprised when the bear leaped away an instant before Ryuusei landed with a punch that would have stunned anyone. To her surprise, the concrete pillar that would have stopped a car from running into the building simply detonated into a cloud of dust and shards on impact with his fist.

Ryuusei nodded as he dropped towards the ground, his fist cocking back as a subtle blue aura swirled momentarily around it. His fist missed the bear as it evaded his strike, obliterating the foot tall concrete pillar used to stop out of control cars from hitting the building instead. He used his godmother's talent for chakra control to enhance his own formidible strength. He grunted as he twisted, tossing a normal blade at the bear. He wasn't surprised to see it evade again. He glanced up momentarily at Akiraa, missing its leap at him as she dropped sharply, kicking it back and somersaulting over it to knock it back towards him. He caught it by the neck, grimacing fractionally as the bear's claws scratched noisily on the bracer of his forearm. He twisted, spinning on the ball of one foot before he hurled it away up into the air. He wasn't really surprised as Akiraa, apparently fairly sure what he was thinking, used his shoulder as a launching pad to kick it higher into the air. He flicked a blade at it and smirked as he pushed off, using a backwards somersault to kick it even higher. He deliberately let himself fall headfirst before his form detonated in a burst of smoke. The blade he'd hurled above the possessed bear burst into smoke at the same time as he twisted, dropping a hard roundhouse kick that slammed the bear into the sidewalk and bounced it for a moment up into the air. He landed on his hands, letting his feet drop into a crouch as if the landing didn't bother him though his hands stung from the impact on the sidewalk.

Akiraa shifted, her gaze locking in on a glimmer of light deep within the still growing bear's throat roughly where the uvulva was.

Ryuusei drew out a blade that was easily two feet long from the tip of the blade to the butt of the hilt and shifted, spinning it so he held it in a reversed grip. Raiton: Kouraisen, he thought as static energy built up around him, swiftly turning from golden to a deep crimson as it rippled and pulsed from his hand to the tip of the blade.
