Wingardia Wing: Girl's Dorms

[demothewiz]

Asmaria walked up to the android, her bookbag softly tapping against the back of her leg. She told the android her preferences for a room, and got a small slip of paper. She read the slip, then stuffed it into her pocket and went to her room. As she entered the room, her eyes adjusted to the darkness. She set her bookbag down, and sat down on the bed. She began to manipulate the shadows around her, something she did quite often. They stretched toward the center of the room, then began to twist and writhe upwards from the floor. They touched the ceiling, then spread out. Suddenly, they became corporeal, a solid pillar of shadow. Asmaria smiled at her work, and then waved her hand across the pillar. It dissolved back into shadows, which took their proper places on the walls, floor, and ceiling.

Bukotsu nodded up and down as Tetsuo went off, he walked into the girl's dorm still holding Oni in his arms with Tsuda following him, but Tsuda would wait outside. Bukotsu coudln't really press the button without letting go of Oni for a second. He finally pressed the button as the elevator opened up and he stepped in.

Not for a second in his mind, he would never think of letting Oni go for just a second. The elevators stopped on her floor as he stepped out and walked to her room. He didn't know how he would open the door. So he just kicked the door open quietly not disturbing Oni in any way possible. He walked in and set her down on her bed. She did seem alittle covered with dust, he walked into the bathroom and grabbed some towels and a bowl of water. Returning with those things, he pulled up a seat and set the water by the bed. Dabbing some of the small towel in the water he gently stroked her face with the damp towel as he cleaned her face alittle.

After that, Bukotsu sat there, watching Oni sleep to make sure she was able to rest well. Ignoring his pains still fresh from the aftermath of the spar, he thought to himself alittle. "Why do I do this? I haven't been so caring enough to just jump in front of someone to help them out or get buried by rubble to save them, It's very unlikely I care alot about someone to do the daring stuff those samurai do in those comics... " He thought to himself. He looked at Oni peacefully sleeping, "She's a good person...Maybe that's why," He said to himself alittle still looking at her. Although he handn't realize it, Oni was cute...and he for a very dense person, all could do was think rather than realize.

Oni's breathing had returned to normal by the time Bukotsu had reached the elevator. From then till now, she had been in a dream state...

Images of the last battle flashed through her mind rapidly, suddenly slowing down at the moment of the final attacks. Oni saw herself from every angle as she watched herself fight Mr. Tadakatsu. Just as she had seen herself fall to the floor, a strange figure appeared out of the corner of her eye. Turning to the left, her heart stopped as she was looking at the dark figure she had seen before. However, this time, it was covered in fire. Oni felt she had no choice but to run...

Oni's body began to toss and turn as she began to whimper. The burn on her chest began to glow an orange hue as she clenched her sheets tightly.  

[Philosophy Warrior]

Bukotsu suddenly noticing what was happening, came to her side trying to figure out what to do. Having no idea of what to do he just held on to her with his arms gently hoping she would stop. He did however figure out something was glowing on her chest because it had shown through her shirt. For some reason, he knew he was gonna feel what it was like to get himself knocked around by some sleeping beauty...  

[Oni_Makibi]

Oni continued to run, though she was no longer in the training hall. Somehow, she had run into a long, dark corridor. The only lighting seemed to come from cracks in the walls, allowing small amounts of sunlight to pass. The firey figure continued to persue her, and she contiunued to run. The corridor seemed to go on forever, but Oni would not stop. She finally saw light at the end of the tunnel, and she sprinted toward it at full force. She finally reached the light, and was engulfed in its brightness.

Oni's body stopped tossing and she lied perfectly still, her mouth open slightly. As the light from her chest began to dim, a soft hissing began to sound from her mouth; lasting for several minutes. When the hissing stopped, her eyes opened; her face fixed in a blank expression...  

[Philosophy Warrior]

"Oni? What happened? Are you alright?" Bukotsu said suddenly taken aback alittle. He did hear the hissing abit, rather strange. Her expression was blank now. Bukotsu was abit worried about what was going on, he put his hand over hers, "Oni...What's wrong?" He said looking into her expressionless face.

"Something's amiss here..." Bukotsu thought to himself.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Hearing the sound of his voice, Oni turned to Bukotsu and smiled. "Wrong? There's nothing wrong.... Im alright. A little rest was all I needed." Oni tried sitting up, but she was still worn out from the fight; she layed back down. "So... how did I end up here? Where are Tetsuo and Mr. Tadakatsu?"  

[Philosophy Warrior]

"Umm well alright...Umm well, you were like out cold after that blast, and Tsuda carried you in here," Bukotsu had lied, "And Tetsuo's looking for your daggers in the rubble at the training hall, and Tsuda's probably outside walking around the campus," Bukotsu said as if something were on his mind.

Bukotsu cheacked Oni's body for anything wrong, nothing was wrong, so his idea of giving her his body chi was a good one, he smiled gently in a feel happiness.

"You should take a shower, you were covered with some dust and debris" Bukotsu said not knowing that he was covered in rubble and dust. He stood up and headed for the door, "Try to rest up abit more ok?" he said poking his head back in smiling, then gently closed the door.

Bukotsu had lied to Oni, he didn't really know why, maybe he didn't want to build up some debt with her about saving her life? Or was it that he was hiding his feelings again? He seemed very frustrated walking down the hall to the elevator. His mind filled with more thoughts than realizations again.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Quite a while had passed before Oni was able to finally lift herself up. Upon doing so, white dust fell from her hair and face, making her sneeze a few times. Standing up, she figured it was a really good idea to take Bukotsu's advice and clean herself up. She would talk to Tetsuo when he came back. Looking for him would put too much of a strain on her tired body....

A warm shower was exactly what she needed. As the water hit her body, she became more relaxed than she had ever been. This session took longer than usual on account of the fact that she had to get all of the debris out of her hair. Finally satisfied, she washed her body and face and turned off the water.

Draped in a towel, she made her way to the mirror and wiped off the condensation. Looking at her face, she realized that she had completely forgotten about the bandaid on her forehead. She peeled it off and was suprised to find that the wound had completely healed itself. "Wierd things happen every day at this place...." She threw the bandaid away and dried herself; eventually putting on an extra large t-shirt and panties.

Oni cleaned up her dorm room before climbing into bed. Realizing that her top sheet was covered in dirt, she rolled it up and set it neatly on the floor. She would wash it the next day. Oni settled herself into her bed and drifted to sleep once again...  

[Philosophy Warrior]

Bukotsu had waited abit for the elevator to open. The door opened, instead of pressing the button down, he pressed up to head to the rooftop. Bukotsu needed some space and he wanted to think abit. Reaching into his pocket, he took his cell phone out and dialed Tsuda's number.

*Ring Ring Ring*

Tsuda's phone went off as he picked up, "You called? What's up?" He said looking around.

"I'm on the roof, go ahead and go off where ever" Bukotsu replied.

"Sure, I'm guessing you're in need of some thinking time?" Tsuda said looking over at the rooftop.

"Yea, well I guess I'll see ya in the morning," Bukotsu said as he hung up.

Bukotsu looked up at the nighttime sky. The star scattered sky seemed to make so many pictures of the things around him. Looking at the crescent moon he sat down and looked out there beyond the stars. With his glove covered hands, he played connect the dots with his index finger to make pictures. First his parents, Tsuda and his sake battle, then his 3 sectional steel staff along with many other things, and the last thing he did, he was abit surprised at himself as he made Oni with Tetsuo on his back. He smiled as pictures seemed to be smiling back at him.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Oni woke up early the next morning to the sound of banging at her door. She slowly made her way to the door while rubbing her eyes. She opened the door, but did not see anyone. She only heard the sound of something hitting the floor, and looked down.
It was a very tired Tetsuo. He was having a hard time carrying her daggers, which were each a bit longer than he was tall. Oni could not help but chuckle a bit as she bent over to pick up the pair. "Well, you were out pretty late..." She said as she placed the daggers on her desk. Tetsuo was already in the bathroom, making his way up onto the sink. Oni left him alone as she closed the door and went back to bed. She fell asleep to the sound of rushing water and soft scrubbing...  

[Sakura_DeVara]

Ria grimaced slightly as she entered the room with her bag. It was a big heavy leather bag. SHe had a bit of her things in it that she had picked up over her travels. She settled it by the bed and flopped on it. Keila wasn't here. She slightly shrugged. She needed the rest anyways.

Ria yawned and crawled under the covers. She groaned as she stretched out and then promptly fell asleep.  

[Oni_Makibi]

It was mid-afternoon when Oni finally woke up. She stayed in bed for about ten minutes before climbing out of the bed to dress herself. This time, she chose black jeans and a dark blue turtle neck without sleeves. She took her clothes to the bathroom and started her morning ritual: brushing her teeth, washing her face, putting on her clothes, and styling her hair. Today she let her hair down, wrapping a scrunchie around her wrist just in case.

She returned to the room and saw Tetsuo had woken up as well. She was silent as she looked for her shoes, though she could not remember where she put them. "That was something yesterday! If you could've held out, Im sure you would'a beat that Tsuda guy!"
Oni finally found her shoes in front of the dresser. She quietly thought to herself as she found some socks and put them on. Sure, she fought well the day before.... but it wasn't truly her that was fighting. If it hadn't been for Bukotsu's chi exchange, she wouldn't have even been standing long enough to deliver such an attack. She laced her shoes with guilt and disappointment nagging her in the back of her mind. She felt that she had to face Mr. Tadakatsu again, without Bukotsu's help, or anyone else's. Of course she knew that she couldnt beat the Iron Fist of the East, but she had to know her true limits, and she could only do that if she fought him one on one...

She went over to the desk to collect her daggers. She was suprised to find that they were clean. Perhaps Tetsuo had cleaned them before he settled into bed early this morning. She unraveled the small belts from each dagger and replaced them into a long belt, which she wound around her waist so that each dagger was on either side of her hips. Turning towards Tetsuo, she finally spoke.
"I have to find Mr. Tadakatsu....."  

[Oni_Makibi]

Oni had everything planned as far as how she wanted to go through with her decision. "Do you really want to fight this man before fully recovering? I mean, if you haven't noticed, you're still a little pale..." Oni could tell that her cousin was concerned, but could not help but laugh at his ignorance. "Do you really think I'm that stupid, Tet? Of course I'll recover first, but I want to do something first.... if he'll accept me..."

Oni ignored Tetsuo's puzzled expression as she picked him up and secured him onto her back. She then left her dorm and went toward the elevator.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Oni walked out of the elevator and into the lobby. She was fortunate enough to find Mr. Tadakatsu there. He seemed to be staring at something, but it didn't matter to Oni. It was most likely none of her business.

She stood in front of the elevator for a few minutes, wondering what how she was going to ask Mr. Tadakatsu for this favor. It was then that Oni realized she wasn't entirely committed to the idea. She needed more time to think for she did, after all, had her cousin to think about. She avoided being spotted by Mr. Tadakatsu and made her way to the cafe she found on her first day...
