Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kageko sighed as she dropped the book that she was reading and laid down in her bed. She had read the announcement of the new shinobi squads. she thought to herself with a sigh, She sat back up, this mission was more troublesome than it seemed, but she wasn't giving up that easily.

She started formulating her plan, she mused for a second, she grew frustrated, and stomped outside, trying to calm down, and with that, Kageko headed back outside. She really didn't know where she was going, she just needed to walk and breathe some fresh air.

Kageko was already in the house and had already begun her prank. Quickly, she dismantled the most serious traps and replaced them with less painful but more annoying versions. Her plan was to basically force her brother to run through the course, whether he wanted to or not.

First, she waxed the area around each pit-fall for about 10 meters on each side. Later on, she will retract the spikes in the pits and fill them with water. Vincente was going to have a bit of trouble getting out of the pit and then walking on the waxed area, especially since he was wet. As a finishing touch, she also made a point of waxing the first five stairs on the stairway that led up.

Next up were the automatics. One section of the room had a series of obstacle courses in it. They were all alike in that they could toss projectiles to increase the difficulty. The last time she had done this, she had simply replaced the hard projectiles with softer beanies, but this time, she had another idea. Kageko pulled out a basket full of bouncy balls, she had considered using laughing gas and putting the trap on a lower level but figured that it would be too serious. She quickly replaced the old ammo with the new. The balls were just about as hard as the beanies, but they had the extra effect of bouncing around and causing even more chaos.

Kageko thought as she went back upstairs to their rooms, figuring that she had done enough tinkering with the training room. She headed to Vincente's room and immediately set the trap. Compared to the others, this was fairly simple. However, she figured that her brother would be too tired, and annoyed, to really care, especially with the waxed stairs causing him to slip one last time. Immediately at the foot of the door, right where his feet will be when he came in, Kageko placed a trip-wire. The activation of the trap will send the usual doll flying at her brother. The "usual doll" referred to the doll that she used regularly her prank, typically to signify when it was finished. The doll in question was of a cute little anime fox, squinty eyes and all, holding a piece of paper that stated, "Hah! Got you!". Ironcially, the fox was given to her by her brother, the person that she used it most on.

Her preparations done, Kageko headed towards the controls for the training area on the same floor. The training floor was used mainly for practice but, if needed, it could also be used as a defense system. The master controls were on the top floor, so they could override any control inputted from lower floors. First she set the level of the obstacle courses to one higher than what her brother usually practiced on, that was plenty enough for her prank. Then she retracted the spikes in each pit and filled them with water, for reasons already explained. Everything that she needed to do on the top floor done, Kageko took everything that she needed and headed towards the training floor.

Going through unscathed, the floor had yet to be activated, Kageko headed towards the stairs that led down. On the top of those stairs, were the other set of controls. Kageko went over to the controls and set it to "Train". The other settings already taken care of, she only needed to jam the controls and then disappear from the crime scene. Not wanting to permanently jam them, she instead opened a door that led to the main machinery of the controls and fiddled around with them for a bit. It was possible to just bypass this whole mess and use the master controls but then she wouldn't be able to get out. Of course, it was just a minor difficulty. Kageko had already figured out how to temporarily jam the machine from this set of controls a while ago. On the other hand, her brother had yet to spend the time to learn how to do the same.

She headed downstairs, when on the first floor she noticed her brother. "Oh, hello!" she greeted cheerfully, slightly surprised that he was down there but not in a suspicious way or anything. she thought to herself,

(OOC: Oh, and just in case you were thinking of getting revenge on my rpc, she also knows how to bypass the whole system by fiddling with the machinery as well xp . Of course, she only knows how because she spent so much time looking over it.)

(OOC: Sorry, I was busy doing an application for Yonbi in NUR sweatdrop . Didn't notice that you had replied.)

"Hm?" Kageko asked innocently as she also prepared herself something from the leftover rice they had this morning along with some of the side dishes in the refrigerator. "Nothing. Why?," she replied. Kageko thought to herself as she heated up some of the leftovers from last night's dinner, After seeming to think a bit, she added in, "Well, I did take some paper from your room, but that was about it."

(OOC: And just in case you're wondering. Yes, this Kageko can lie xp .)

Kageko laughed from just around the corner of the stairs as she heard her brother fall into the various traps she had set. she thought to herself happily as she quickly finished her meal and headed outside.

-Exit-

Kageko quickly ran up the stairs and into her room. Once there, she switched out her blunt fans with ones with sharp edges, picked up a roll or two of bandages, and packed a bit of antibiotic ointment. The rest of her weapons and such were already on her and, as usual, she was dressed in easy-to-move clothes. Finally clasping on some arm guards to protect her arms from the blades of her fans, Kageko rushed back downstairs, told her bewildered foster parents that both she and Vincente had a mission, and rushed to the gates, straightening and tightening her headband on the way there.
-Exit-

Vincente walked into his family mansion for the second time. He looked at his sister who he was still dragging around. He put his sister in the closet with his real backpack and leaned against the door. He whistled innocently as his parents passed by, arousing their suspision that he'd done something.

Vincente spread his legs out and was literally forced to hold onto one egde of the floor with the tips of his toes and the other with his fingertips, making a bridge out of himself. "Where did that come from?" He was focused on trying to get back up again before his sister took advantage of his all too vunerable position.
