Courtyard (South)

[Heero Mezuki]

Heero looked at the girl with a look of interest. 'A challenge, huh?'

Heero then stood up and fixed himself up. "I'm Heero, Heero Mezuki." Heero said while bowing. He then brought himself up and smiled.

"It's too bad, I only know a little about you Ms. Seiya." Hey said while sitting back down. "I know your families filty stinking rich, excuse my pesentest language."  

[Kumizu]

"The rain is nice. Honestly, I enjoy it much more than than sunny weather. That and the fact that I don't wear a shirt ((see avatar)), the sun and I don't get along well." He gave a short laugh, then realized how stupid he'd just sounded.

Kumizu smirked once he heard about the Fiery Abyss. Well then, I know one man who can get pretty far into it. "No, I've never heard of it."

Rich, huh? That explains it. "Well, my name is Kumizu, but lately it seems that everyone's calling me Kumi." He shrugged. "Whichever you prefer. And I don't think we know that much about you either, Heero."  

[EvrythingTastesLikeGinger]

"Hello Heero." She said smiling as if she were the world's kindest person. "I hope you've been well, I've yet to meet too many people despite being here for some time. I'm quite the busy person you see." She blinked, "Stinking rich? I wouldn't say that..."

She turned back to Kumi, "There's something I need you to do for me."  

[Kumizu]

Kumizu raised an eyebrow. He didn't know Seiya well enough to try and guess what this favor would be. He didn't exactly like surprises, because most of them had been... not good, but he wasn't going to be rude and turn it down. "What do you need?"  

[Heero Mezuki]

Lloyd looked at Kumizu and smiled. "Rain or shine, doesn't really matter to me." Heero then laid back again as Kumizu began to talk. "It's nice to meet you, Kumizu." Heero said with a smile.

When Kumizu mentioned that they knew nothing about him, he simply looked up at the sky. "There's nothing to me. I'm just an ordenary kid from the mountains is all." Heero said with some enthusiasm.

Heero then directed his attention to Seiya. "I'm fine and it's okay, we all must be bussy at some point in life."  

[misswho]

she sat down under a shady tree and looked around. Everyone was having fun and she sat a little away from the other people. She wasn't used to seeing so many people in one place. As she looked around their was a large tree which was different from the others. Curious, she walked towards it and studied it for a while. As she turned to walk away she heard a small hoot. She spun around and saw Hermes swoop towards her. "Hi," she laughed as he rested on her outstretched arm.  

[EvrythingTastesLikeGinger]

"Come on, you've got to promise." She teased, "It's nothing that will kill you." She said in a sing-song voice.

"So make a promise, alright?" It was sooo obvious she was screwing with him.  

[Kumizu]

That doesn't count for anything. The way she's acting, I'm hoping it's something that will kill me. Kumizu sighed. Maybe he would just break the promise later... he knew he wouldn't, but he felt better saying that to himself. "Yes, I promise. What do you need?"  

[EvrythingTastesLikeGinger]

"Now-" Her eyes flattened out, completely serious, "Just tell me if you see anything or feel anything strange about this..." She reached into her knapsack and pulled out the strange round black object she'd found the day before; holding it out to him.

"It does these weird things sometimes..."  

[Heero Mezuki]

Heero watched as the two were talking with some interest. When Seiya pulled out the object, a sort of chill went up Heero's spin. 'What the heck is that thing... it's emiting this dark aura...'

The tatoos on Heero's arms began to glow a little as he sat there and watched.  

[Kumizu]

Kumizu took it from her, looking over it carefully. It was a perfect sphere, completely black, without any markings he could see. "Where did you find this? And what sort of things does it do?" He found himself almost completely entranced with this object, its dark aura calling him...

He shook his head and set it on the ground. If he was strong enough to defy his father, he wouldn't let this... thing get a hold of him. He still stared at it, as if he thought something would pop out. What the hell is this thing?  

[EvrythingTastesLikeGinger]

"It moves sometimes..." She put her finger to her lips thoughfully, "-and other times it turns red and seems to catch fire. Although it doesn't harm other bjects it burns..."

She held out her hands, although they looked almost completely healed now there were faint traces of welts. Proof she wasn't kidding, she'd never allow her skin to be damaged on purpose.

"Where'd I find it...? Well..." She trailed off, if others found out that'd she'd gotten it from the 'Gates of Hell' they'd think she was a sort of demon for sure. But then again that didn't seem too far from the truth.

"Other than that it doesn't seem to do anything else." She said as if completely unaware of the objects dark and evil aura.  

[misswho]

She sighed to herself as she stroaked her owl. He nipped her finger affectionatly. She began to walk around the courtyard with hermes still resting on her outstreched arm. She just prayed he wouldn't start dive bombing people like last time.  

[Heero Mezuki]

Heero stood up and walked towards the two and the object. "From the feeling I'm getting from this thing... it had to have come from a place filled with hate, evil, and a darker aura than this thing is giving off."

Sure, Heero was able to make a briliant deduction, but he could never get further than that first deduction. So even though he figured it came from a dark and evil place, he had no idea where.
