Courtyard (South)

[ect301fps]

Julia had lost herself for the past several minutes, completely unaware of events which were erupting in the distance. It was something that the cyberbrain implants did to her occasionally, putting themselves in a standby state as the organic mind drew closer to being subconscious. All the while, her cigarette had been slowly turning to ash as the miniscule ember painstakingly worked its way across the paper and tobacco. Her eyes were not feeding any information to her as they wore a glassy shine while blankly staring into the distance.

It was not until Gordon directly spoke to her did she come to. He seemed to be in thanks towards her and Kaori as he stood with a renewed strength. In response, Julia's face softened, a rare sight, as if to say your welcome, but don't get used to it. "Two fights in one battlefield? What are the chances?" he said smiling. Eh? Julia's eyes took a quick survey of the area and there was definitely an air of violence sweeping through the courtyard as there were rather large conflicts erupting between students.

Julia stood poised next to Kaori while lighting another cigarette. She brought it to her lips as she watched the massive army of ice elementals being cut down by a lone swordsman. On a different note, Julia found that she now had two cigs sticking out of her lips, realizing that she must've looked like a complete fool. A swift motion of the lips forced the old one out before anyone noticed. No one saw that... she thought as a slight shade of red replaced the peachy complexion of her face briefly, another rare sight.

"That's my brother..." said Kaori after a moment of watching very intently. Her eyes were glued to the fight while expressing a tone of concern it seemed. She murmured quietly as she watched closely, "I wonder why they're fighting?" Julia wondered the same, but out of curiosity why everyone was so pissed off at each other. Even I can express more self control...

The fight drug on as the ice slinging girl used several ice decoys of herself which Kaori's brother cut at, but the girl was clearly at a disadvantage though. It was not long before a victor was clear as she seemed to slip while injuring herself upon her own attacks. After a good deal of insult throwing and feint attacks, it seemed as though the swordsman would end it all. A rock had collided with him, but a mere rock would not stop his entire momentum from falling upon the girl. It seemed as though the blow would land until she put up a barrier of water, but the effort was in vain.

At this point, Julia's attention was suddenly renewed as both Gordon and Kaori rushed off to the fight. Kaori went to the man who had attempted to intervene while Gordon went to protect the girl. Now things are beginning to get interesting... Julia began to make her way over. As she did, things seemed to settle down as people began setting their swords away and chatted. Chatting too much perhaps she thought as it looked like Gordon was letting his mouth run just a little bit too long and Kai, looking seriously pissed off, charged him. The girl's strength was very impressive despite her frail frame as she clashed blades with her sibling, effectively holding him off.

Julia was not yet close enough to catch the dialogue, but the man who seemed to own the motorcycle ran off while Kaori's brother ran off as well. By the time Julia arrived at the scene, the only person left was Kaori and the motorcycle. "Looks like I just missed the party", Julia said almost dejected, while pacing about. She found herself fingering the motorcycle's throttle, to hear it's engine rev up and spew out some smoke from the exhaust. She looked at Kaori, realizing that she didn't even know the girl's name yet. "I don't think we know each other yet. I'd say that working together like we did back there warrants an introduction; I'm Julia."

Took a seat on the motorbike as she waited, People will start showing up soon. I mean, it's not like any guy in his right mind would just leave their wheels sitting out...

Gordon didn't even turn around when Kai attacked. " Getting angrey messed up his attack. I could have easily dodged that. Anger is power but not always the right emotion to choose. it clouds your judgement and you end up regretting things" Gordon said sighing closing his eyes trying to once again focus on the battle between Shepard and Dargex.

"Oh, I am so scared...." Misa said coming behind Lighttt. "All you been fighting is ice clones...I have been practicing...It took me some hours to practice ice clones.." Misa giggles as the ice clone shattered.

Lighttt chuckles. He could not believe the plan had worked.  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori trotted back over towards the small dragon and smiled as he moved aside so she could pick her sword. She slipped the large weapon into the sheath and approached Julia again. She'd decided that William would come back for his sword, so she shouldn't waste energy chasing him. She still had no idea why he had taken off like that though...

Kaori shook her head to clear it and then let her eyes fall upon the woman who'd helped earlier. She jumped as Julia made the bike emmit smoke and then stared at the machine for a moment, taking a wary step back. Then she nodded slowly. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kaori."

She turned her eyes upon Gordon again as they flashed red in anger. "Damn it, just shut up! He's already gone and I don't care about your stupid preaching!" Kaori crossed her arms over her chest and turned her back to him, closing her eyes once more as she took a deep breath. Then she exhaled deeply and sat down where she was, which happened to be near the bike, and instead watched Julia take a seat upon it. She blinked at the woman's courage. There's no way Kaori would risk climbing on something like that, not for anything! Slowly, her hand found its way to her necklace as she watched William in the distance.

Kei circled around her head for a moment before landing in the grass beside her and snuggling against her leg. Kaori smiled faintly and then narrowed her eyes a she glanced at Lighttt and Misa. What the hell was their problem, messing with Kai like that?  

[Leuvo]

Lighttt thinks as he waits for Kai to reply.Why did my mom want to test Kai? But she only said to test Kai, not Kaori...hmmm..Whatever this 13th Child business is I hope it does not kill Kaori or Kai...Misa has been working really hard making those ice clone after another ice clone...Kai can beat Misa...At least I think...It looks like Misa is hiding something from me..I wonder what, we are brother and sister from our deep deep deep past..there is some other power she has....  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori glanced towards Lighttt and his sister again, crossing her arms over her chest. Just looking at them annoyed her right now... She glanced towards the direction Kai had stalked off and sighed, looking back towards the ground in front of her. Kei crawled into her lap and she patted the dragon's head as he attempted to comfort her.

Then Kaori's eyes flicked between Julia on the motorcycle and William. She gasped as she saw him fall and then leapt to her feet. "C-come on, Kei!" she cried, and she and the small dragon darted off towards the fainted William. Once there, she dropped to her knees beside him. "Hey, are you alright?" she murmured urgently. She sensed he was a human and that fall could have done serious damage to him. "Hey!" She began lightly shaking his shoulder, afraid to move him too much.  

[Leuvo]

"Uughh!This is it! I am so bored..."Misa shouted. She went over to Kaori and Lightt decided to follow. "Hey, I am so sorry whatI did to your borther.."

Lighttt gotten really bored....He looked up and tried to see if if could catch up with Kai and also without Misa...Lighttt ran out of the courtyard to find..Kai...  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori didn't take her eyes off of William as she heard someone approaching. She sniffed the air lightly to see who it was, and scowled as she breathed in Misa's scent. Kaori raised her head and glared at her before quickly returning her gaze to the male. "I won't forgive you," she muttered angrily. "And why the hell did you need to test him anyway?!" Her tail slammed repeatedly into the ground behind her, taking out some of her pent up anger before Kaori would feel the need to attack someone. The small dragon who had settled beside her in the grass turned and glared at Misa, growling softly.  

[Leuvo]

"I had too...Kai is well..you know Lighttt..also..nevermind.."Misa said. She looked behind her accepting to see Lighttt but she saw him running out the courtyard. She shrugged and looked back at Kaori. "I have been leaving alot of secrets along here..so I will tell you but please don't tell Kai.."Misa pleaded.  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori gently brushed the hair from William's face and swept her eyes along his form, looking for any obvious signs of injury. Seeing none, she sighed and turned to face Misa again. She couldn't keep her eyes from narrowing as she saw her, but slowly nodded. "I won't tell." She really wanted to know what was going on. The strange transformation and visions had never properly been explained and she hoped now they would.  

[Leuvo]

Me and Lighttt met when we werre 13...not here...and Kai well..Me and Lightttt had dreams about him...and when ever "stuff" happen we seem to have visions....of the future...wait then Kai is the 13th child's demon guardian....thats what I did not say...That why we kept having dreams thats why we tested him..to see if he was our demon guardian...Because our deep deep father/king is a demon himself or wait the dreams we might been having was our father..I really don't understand myself either.."Misa explained.  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori blinked towards Misa in confusion, slowly registering the words. It didn't make much sense to her at all, and she began chewing her lip in annoyance. "So, if you'd met before then why did you and Lighttt seem so surprised to see each other and act like you were strangers?" She began and then paused, thinking of another question. "And then, if Kai's your protector or whatever, then why'd you feel the need to piss him off so greatly?" Her eyes narrowed once again, as she knew she didn't believe the girl at all.  

[Leuvo]

Misa smiled."Its because ....well I had black hair back then...and also we had to test him to see its true..Well, I have to go soon..Do you have any questions."Misa asked." You know you should become a model.."  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori frowned towards her. "He should've still recognized your face," she muttered moodily. "And you didn't have to get him so angry like that. I'm sure he would have fought without all the insults first." Kaori sighed and pulled her legs to her chest, bent, with her arms around them. Kei snuggled into her side again and she glanced down at him sadly. Then Kaori glanced back up towrads Misa. "A model?" she asked slowly, blinking in confusion.  

[Vamp_from_hell]

" Kaori!. Your brother and that other guy are by where Dargex is! Should we go or can those two handle themselves?" he asked looking behind him at her. If Dargex was resourceful enough he could take those three and with Shepards big ego that might be a problem.
