Welcome to Gaia! ::

(*Aruba. 7 days before.....*)


*it started out as a four man team, tracking a single individual. they were an elite mercenary unit, paid a lot of money to track, capture, or if nessercary...kill the target.
HOWEVER...THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING THE TARGET TO FIGHT BACK!!!!!
the merc leader walked into a dark alleyway, his gun aimed infront of him. the laser scope sweeping the area. halfway down the alley, he froze, as he heard a cruel chuckle come from behind him*

"You made 3 mistakes, merc. 1, you took the job. 2. you came looking for me. And 3...you came too light. A 4 man team to take me out??! Your employers must really don't like you. That's a ******** joke. I had tougher opponents in grade school."

*the merc swallowed the lump in his throat, turn around and........
........met the business end of a kodachi in the gut. he looked the person*


"A...kid? All this time, we were chasing a fragging kiiii...~*"



*The merc dropped.
Takagami Cody looked at the merc's body and just shrugged*

"Hmpf. I hate rookies."

*as he walked away he looked at the letter that was sent to him earlier today, along with a plane ticket*

"So, mother. What is so interesting in Japan?" stare

Hauru walks up to the front of the rather large school and gazes up in wonder *Hm, wonder how they got that festival sign to stay up with out anything holding it*. He looked at the paper in his hand stating his new home room class.....it was on the top floor...and he was already late. Hauru jogs into the school heading for the stares but when he turns the corner he run headon into a young girl with aburn hair and pail skin. The two fall and land faceing each other...as Hauru recovers from the accident he looks up to see the girls face then realizes that she is laying right on top of him out cold. *s**t this was so not expected today*

Date: Today. Time: 6:38am.

*from his vantage point across the street from Todo High School, Takagami Cody watches as students begin to file into the school. he can't help but smile smile , as he watches students pass by*

"Go to Tokyo, she says. I'm enrolled in this top ranking school, she says. There are a lot of very strong people here, she says. People that can be very entertaining to you, she says. rolleyes Heah.....right."

*he smiles as a gruop of very attractive(and wearing VERY SHORT SKIRTS) schoolgirls walk by. as they pass him, a gust of wind blows up. the girls shriek as their skirts blow up in the wind. giving Cody a VERY GOOD LOOK at their panties*

"Hmm, well at least this place won't be a total loss on the eye."

*from his pocket, he pulls out a picture, of a student. a tall lanky guy with short blonde hair and wearing sunglasses. he stares at it for a minute*

"So, this is the first one, eh? For someone with the stats like he has, he sure looks like a 1st class wimp to me. Oh well, orders are orders."

*turning the photo over, he looks at the name, and the name of the group he belongs to*

"THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, huh? I'll introduce myself to them later. First things first. I guess I'm going to school."

*grabbing his things, Cody lazily heads towards the school.....*

6:38 am

After a long cab ride, Mario finally reaches his destination... His new home. The cab driver smiles at him and leaves hims at the footsteps of a very rural looking house, just like he imagined rual Japanese houses would look like. Going up to the door, Mario knocks on it. A second later, a little old woman opens the door. The old lady says to him. I'm the foreign exchange student. The old lady didn't seem to understand much of what he said, but understood who he was. The old woman said with a smile. Mario walks into the house. As he does, the old woman motions to his shoes and Mario figures he has to take them off; which he does. The old woman then introduces herself as Yumiko Kawazama, but politely tells him he can call her "Obaasan" if he would like. The old woman lived by herself. Never had children, though she did have many relatives. She enjoyed having over foreign exchange students. It made her feel like the mother she was never able to be. You can call me Mario if you like too, Obaasan. The old woman smiled and led Mario towards his room. There, he puts his things away and looks around his new room. Hehehehe, this needs a bit of my touch to it, but later. Then, the old woman came to him and handed him a piece of paper, oddly enough in English. Mario thanked her for it and looked at the paper. Now knowing the way, Mario picked up an empty bookbag he would use for school, said good by to Yumiko and went out the door; putting his shoes on before he left.

7am - Todo Academy Entrance



Mario finally arived at Todo Academy after a long as walk and was wearing his old school uniform which was composed of a grey polo shirt and black pants, along with his usual accessories. He chuckled at the name of the school. Hehehehe, "Todo"... So the name of this school is "Everything". I hope it does have... everything. Walking around, Mario quickly gazes at all the beautiful chicks at the school. Holy... Every single girl in the entire school was wearing skimpy uniforms and this did not escape his attention. I'm in heaven... With a big smile on his face, Mario went across the front of the school and into the building itself.

Mario entered the office shortly after Codi did. I think you mean "Ohayougozaimasu". "Konnichiwa" is "Good Afternoon", hehehehe. Mario then speaks his limited form of Japanese to the secretary. The secretary smiles at him and spoke to him in English. Very good, Sarazaa-san. Keep that up and you will do well here. Do not worry, we will get you the finest Japanese teacher to help you. Right this way. She pointed to the principle's office. You too, young man. She said to Codimaru.

Cow to you too, buddy. Mario says with a grin as he hears Codi.

A small man at the end of the desk waves at them to be quiet with a sort of nervous demeanor.
