A dark shadded figure behind Caosine looming over him...it seemed very pissed off, and very, very, blood-thirsty....
Bukotsu had suddenly appeared out of the blue like any daring hero would...this was a different case however, it wasn't hero-like...it seemed evil...more vengeful than anything...no good was to come of it. His anger flourishing as he looked at what they had been doing. His eyes slowly steamed red chi energy, in an instant the one called, 'Caosine' already unconscious with his forearms and shin bones broken like twigs.
That boy was not dead, Bukotsu then disappeared in a flash and appeared behind Saguichi, getting him in a headlock, the boy gripping on Bukotsu's arm around his neck. In an instant... Bukotsu flexed his arm performing a 'demon neck crank'. But it didn't end there, gripping onto the boy's head...A burning red fire chi welled around his right hand as he delivered a punch instantly putting the boy out cold. Both were easily knocked out... This wasn't Bukotsu at all...it was another side to him...vengence was written all over this one's face...Bukotsu stood there taking deep breaths as he fell to his knees in front of Tomoro hugging her tightly...
"Tomoro...I'm sorry....I couldn't come in time...I'm so sor..ry... I couldn't be here for you and...." Bukotsu said as there was terror in his heart...tears slowly fell from his eyes traveling down his face... It was as if Bukotsu returned to normal...his insides churned. He was scared for her, for the first time in his life...he was scared, not for himself...But Tomoro. Holding her tighter... he let out a few words to her ear, "Please...don't scare me anymore...Don't scare me...because I love you...And you don't scare the person you love...I'm here now..."

Tomoro was still in a shock at what Bukotsu had done, and she said nothing. It was a whole other side to him, and it... surprised her. Looking over at Caosine and Saguchi, their limbs shattered, Tomoro then gazed at the ground, Bukotsu still holding her tightly. "You shouldn't.... be scared..." she finally spat out, trying to get the words off of her tongue. For some reason, she wasn't crying... just in shock. "They'll come back... they always come back. I'm just surprised... that they came this far to try and see me..." An ambulance nearby could be heard, and there were many, many people buzzing excitedly at this scene. Tomoro pulled up Bukotsu with her hands, and pushed him forward, almost ashamed that people had to see this scene. They saw everything... I wonder what Caosine and Saguchi will do when they get out of the hospital.... that won't be for a long, long time.
Dragging him along to get out of the situation, Tomoro realized two things that she hadn't noticed before. Bukotsu could get in MAJOR trouble for hurting those two so badly... they always had a rich father, and he could sue him... not to mention send out more people to kill Tomoro. She also figured out that... Bukotsu sort of needed her more than she needed him. Had it always been that way? He was the one crying, not her... perhaps because she didn't want to cry in front of everyone else. Maybe she was just so sick of those two boys she couldn't even bear it. They had attempted to kill her multiple times... and they were the only reason she practically hated all men. Either way, it felt strange being needed and loved by someone so much... almost awkward... and she didn't like it.
Tomoro noticed an empty spot under the docks, and moved toward there, sitting down against a large wooden pole sticking up from the ground to keep the dock from falling on top of them. Sighing lightly, Tomoro pushed her hair back and arranged one of her hooped earrings. She didn't have her patch, that was long gone... so she just kept both eyes open, looking at a pile of seaweed off in the distance.

Bukotsu had halted...Running off in a flash no one had seen him. Bukotsu needed a moment to himself. Ending up at the north side of the beach, he was very far away from the incident. Bukotsu had looked down at the ocean from where he was. He then began slamming his fist against a large boulder that was by the water. Hitting the rock even harder with each blow, he ultimately split the rock in half...
Angered even more now...he began unleashing massive amounts of energy, the ground coursing with energy. The sand moved and began to sink around him. As he did the excess energy shot up into the air in all direction as a blue beam of energy exiting his body and hit the ocean creating more and more crashes int he water. The sky began to set...and all the energy was to anyone was a bunch of fireworks. He was absolutely confused and annoedwhy did Tomoro push him away from her? Somethings he didn't know too well... He was hoping to come here peacefully...and yet this plaec kept creating many annoying memories.
"So...What is it this time?" A voce spoke from behind him. It was Tsuda in an islander shirt and some beachcomber pants. He smirked and looked at his young student.
"I don't need to talk about it..." Bukotsu replied as he stood there gazing at the extra energy crashing into the water like sparks from a firework's show.
"Shall we settle it with some stress-relieving fist fight? And then you can tell me?" Tsuda smirked.
"That sounds alot better...." Bukotsu said adapting his stance for Terror of Gaia. Tsuda slowly changed from a smile to a very cold focus, adapting the stance for Elephant Tusks.
The two ran in beating each other, matching blow for blow...and kick for kick. Neither could be seen, both moving at an incredible near god-like speed. But the crashing of their blows could be heard and felt as dangerous shockwaves traveling all over the beach.

It was then that Tomoro noticed Bukotsu wasn't even near her; he had disappeared, like the wind. Her eyebrows furrowing deeply, she stood up, kicking the wooden pole with her bare feet. It hurt, the spare wood chips sliding into her foot. She didn't care. I bet... he's mad at me. That has to be it. I bet I angered him so badly that he wants to get rid of me now... why...? What did I do? It's not my fault that Saguchi got all over me... it's not... my fault... The salt water that Tomoro had gotten on the cover of her eyelid had somehow slipped it's way around the glass cover of her eye, and she fell to the ground, holding it, beginning to cry. She didn't want to cry... she just... had to, in order to get the salt out.
After that was said and done, Tomoro stood back up, walking along the shore of the beach, taking a stick and sliding it across the sand. The two boys had already been picked up and sent off to the hospital, and plainly, she couldn't care less. She walked back to the bench and picked up her clothes, shaking the sand off of them, and slipping them on, despite her wet swimsuit. Tomoro wrung her hair out, and put her sandals on, then stepping up the sandy steps that led to the boardwalk. She waited for a bit, and then figured that Bukotsu would leave her completely, so she set off for her dorm, and then the Entrance to Ria, just to remember what it was like.

After several hours...
Bukotsu stood there with a few hits to his head, some blood from his mouth.
"That feels alot better..." Bukotsu spoke as he began to walk to the school.
Tsuda unfortunetly was out cold on the beach.
"Tsuda...I'm going to the greenhouse..." Bukotsu said as he wrote on a piece of paper. He then put the note on the sleepint in dreamland Tsuda.

A day on the town. She was wondering when she would get to leave the school grounds to go to a town. Natsu was running all over the place looking for a place to lie down on the warm sand.
Shiori smiled, picked her up, and placed her on her head.
"Not here. Wait until we go to the beach lator on," Shiori said as they walked past the McDonalds.
Looking around, there were so many people, and so much to do! It was making her head spin. She decided to just walk around town to get the feel for it, and come back anotherday to do something.
After walking the town, she headed back towards the school. Stopping only to order a number 2 from McDonalds.

Bukotsu had walked off from the campus and found his way back to the beach town, it had been awhile since he came here, but he had ended up coming back to help Medei by making her a pair of what appeared to be a complete replication of his serpent skin gloves. He also brushed his fingers through his lingering and fallen down hair to see if it would stand up again.
Unfortunetly for him though, it didn't happen. He stood there alitte and watited for Medei to arrive.

Following in silence behind him, she took in her surroundings. It would be nice to come back here...She thought to herself. It was pleasant enough, and there weren't a lot of people. "I really do appreciate this Bukotsu. Come to think of it, you are the first person to really speak to me. Normally people just seem to think I am crazy, talking to everything but another person." She realized she was going on and on about nothing important, and immediately silenced herself. She watched Bukotsu as he kept messing with his hair. Either he was OCD about it, or he was nervous about something and didn't know what to do with his hands.

"That's ok, most people would rather have others come to them, but there are a few like me that go and meet people, it's more polite to introduce yourself too," Bukotsu said still playing about with his hair.
Finally letting his hair go he turned his head to Medei, "You know...weird doesn't really mean you are weird, all it is, is just some word that people describe others who aren't on the same level or same social class as them, in my eyes you're a girl that just wants to hold flowers, to be able to feel and such, and I don't find anything weird about that," Bukotsu spoke as if he were now a calm and collective person.
"Besides, sometimes I act weird too, and well let's jsut say I'm a horrible teacher when it comes to being normal," Bukotsu smirked. As they passed a surf shack, Bukotsu had hopped over the cemented riseto short-cut right to the beach as he removed his sneakers and socks as he let the cool and warm sand feel his feet.
"Come on, the beach is this way, when we get there, I can catch that sea snake and we'll have your gloves, and if we have time we can play around and get something to eat," Bukotsu said as he held out his hand to help her get over.

She listened as he spoke. Some of the things he was saying, were so true to her. "In a sense, aren't we all a little weird, or strange? I'm sure there are things about you someone would deem as being weird or off-center in some fashion." Medei smirked as she made a comment about him. "Your perception of me is very correct. I'm tired of being denied the smallest pleasures in life." She followed his lead past the surf shack, and taking his hand, let him help her over. She removed her shoes and socks, and let the sand sink and shift between her feet. "This all sounds like fun. I can't stay in the water for very long periods of time though, so you might be having more fun than I."

"Well...I'm always a little left of center," Bukotsu said giving a small laugh.
"It's always those little or big things that can get people you know? I wanna find something that would want to hang about with me as much as I want to hang with it," Bukotsu said as he walked with her towards the water.
"Don't worry, leave the finding of the serpent to me, it may take awhile, and then we can have fun after words, we really don't have to play in the water," Bukotsu said as he took a stop approximately 15 yards away from the water. He then removed his body armor and pants revealing he had what appeared to be blue hawaiian flowers and flame bordered swimming trunks. Not only removing his green shirt, Bukotsu had also removed the white beater underneath his green military shirt. To other people, he almost appears to be well tanned, and rather peak physical and mental health for his age. Tossing the clothes in his bag, he turned to Medei.
"Aren't you gonna change? I mean we kinda are at the beach, and you don't want to ruin your clothes," Bukotsu spoke as he turned his head to face her, "If you don't have a swimsuit or whatever, you can borrow the extra swimming trunks in the bag there, and they should fit you, since I havent checked out what I have in my militia bag in almost a couple of years, so it might be your size," Bukotsu said as he turned his attention to what he needed.
He then pulled out a towl, and had what appeared to be a knife scaffold holding a knife and had it fastened to his left leg that appeared to be at the length from his ankle to his knee.
"Would you like to come with me and risk your life? Or would you want to stay here where it's safe and wait for me?" Bukotsu said giving a smile. It was rather a weird question and a weird way of saying it.

She tilted her head to the side a bit, probably out of confusion. "You say 'it'. Does that mean if even an animal wants to be around you, you would have no qualms with being around it? That I would understand." Medei was a little hesitant as they drew nearer the water. A little water couldn't hurt her, could it? She stripped down to a pair of shorts that she wore under her jeans, just because her pants always seemed to be frayed. She removed her shirt, revealing a black tank top underneath. She folded her outer clothes neatly, and layed them near his. "I might not necessarily be wearing 'beach wear' but these will do for now." She replied with a smile. When he asked her if she wanted to risk her life, the smile slightly faded. "Only if you are capable of ressurrecting the dead." She quipped, being more serious than silly. It wasn't the serpent she was worried about. It was the water.

"Companionship is something I long for... and that I have the worst luck with dogs and cats and any animal you can think of," sweatdrop Bukotsu said as he rambled abit.
"Anything is fine is long as it works right?" Bukotsu said as he walked towards the water as the waves moved along his ankles. He turned his head once again, "Well, I wasn't implying that I wanted you to come, no one can really manipulate like that unless your one of the guys and girls on campus who can hypnotize people... so I gave you the decision, that way, I would know if you were willing to fight for what you want, but it doesn't mean you have to necessarily be purely putting your life on the line for it and well based on the information from what you said earlier back at the greenhouse, you're someone I definetly want to help out now...by the way, are you a pyrokinesis? Or a manipulator?" Bukotsu said putting his hands at his side and looking for an answer.
Bukotsu was worried about her since he had no idea what would harm her because of her abilities, sure water was one of them, but he was more worried if she was or wasn't tolerant to the element.

"You and I share the same longings. Before I came to Ria, I had friends, but I could never tell them my 'secret'. I could never invite them over to my house. I don't mind having friends, but making them is the hard part. That is why I am so very grateful for the time that you have chosen to spend with me." She said, expressing herself very honestly.
When Bukotsu asked about her 'ability' she gave a gentle smile. "Let me see if I can explain it." She had to think before she spoke, her mind in contemplation of how to go about it. "Normally, most people with fire-enhanced skills have to already have a source, such as a lighter, or other open flame. I create it more...naturally. Let me show you." The once subtle phoenix outline on her body was now glowing, and seconds afterwards, her hands burst into flames. "Inside my body is a chemical called Methanol. Normally it has a colorless flame, but I choose to give it a color. When the phoenix glows, it causes a chemical reaction with the Methanol, and thus the fire is born." She said, as she 'extinguished' her hands.
"As far as water goes, when Methanol is mixed with water, the chemical gets diluted, even though it is inside my body. When the chemical gets diluted, the temperature rises, and keeps rising though the chemical might be gone. Well, as the chemical level lowers, my body becomes less tolerant of heat. It's like stripping someone's abilities and making them like a regular human being. If the temperature rises too high, I could die from 'over heating'. I naturally have a high tolerance for heat, but since the chemical would no longer be in my body, I wouldn't have that tolerance. So, a little water is ok, but too much is a very bad thing." Medei said as she stepped up beside him, letting the waves rush over her feet. Turning to him, she smiled. "I hope I explained that well enough. I've never had to."

"Well taking a chances and making friends is something I do best, " Bukotsu said returning her a smile as well.
"I guess, I'll classify you under an elemental then, since well you can generate your own fire, and that you instead are harmed by the after-effects of exposure to water then," Bukotsu said as he looked and observed the phoenix at her abdomen. He poked at it rather curiously with his finger like a scientist, "Sorry, it's just you're full of surprises, and well on top of that, you're just so interesting to me," Buktosu said as he laid off.
"Well if the water is the case, I should tell you that the black diamond seasnake is about a mile out and about 20 meters deep," Bukotsu said as he looked over at Medei to tell her instructively, "I may sound like a father or mentor or whatever, but be safe, so let me know when you have to stop ok?" Bukotsu said as he he waded his fingers in the crashing water.
