Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sirena entered the same room were Hana was. Sirena closed the door and sighed "I guess we are the ones from womens got ripped clothes." Sirena laughed but her brow were sad like. Sirena was searching with Hana fitting clothes.

I came out of the back rom with an outfit I was tring on. I ran into the room where soot was floating over the hole room " What the heck was that noise. and Who messed with the chimney? "

I began to blush as everyone stared at what I was wearing.

" It's ok. " I began to cough. " I think we need to move away from here or, " I cough again only harder this time. " At least turn on some fans! "

I began to run back to the room bt the time I was back in the room with Serina I was almost tinted black.

I began to hear whom I thought to be Nana but it sounded more like she was attacking something. Like she had a mouse in her mouth while tring to meow. I ran back toware she was and grabbed her. I ran back once again to thr back room away from the soot.

Koji finished eating and cleaned his plate, unlike the rest who just left theirs on the table. I guess not everyone here knows how to be responsible.. He found himself in the kitchen sink, washing the plates. Just as he was about to finish, his grandfather entered. "Koji, I need to have a word with you."

The Nogisaka Dojo was well kept, clean and spacious. At the center knelt Koji and Hibiki facing each other. Hibiki kept silent for a few minutes before speaking. "You must have known by now how light and fluid a sword is."

Koji nodded. "Yes grandfather, I accidentally applied more force than usual. It sliced a man completely in half." He mentioned, as he recalled the spewing guts all over the floor.

"Where did you get such a weapon?"

"At a friend's home, grandfather."

Hibiki examined the well-made blade for a moment. "A sword from a Japanese General who surrendered during the war in Makin Atoll. Fine-crafted, a true master smith. Humble enough not to leave his name." A moment later, he took out another blade, slightly longer by a few inches. "Crafted in the Meiji-Era, normally used as a quick-draw blade. I was planning to give this to you after I teach you how to handle a sword, but I believe that now is the best time."

Koji now held his 2nd swords, much like the ronin of the olden times. Hibiki then stood up from his kneeling position and taught Koji the proper stances of a two-blade fighting style, at least the basics, for the next hour.

All too suddenly, Naoki heard a familiar voice come from another room. She thanked kirin for the bandage and strode over just in time to find him pointing a gun at Ryuu.

And here I thought I wouldn't be seeing him again. I wonder if he remembers me. In any case, I won't be forgetting him--he hasn't changed a BIT.

"Hey!" she snarled, getting in between the gun and the redhead. "No one points a gun at anyone here unless they're undead. You may be captain out there, but everything's different here. You want to survive, you play by the rules we set, Redeem."

Naoki addressed him with much familiarity. They knew each other well enough, but had met each other in person on only three occassions before; once when they were children, once in the States and once more before Naoki got her sniper name. Each one had left her with a bitter sense of distaste for the man, and it certainly hadn't changed. For some reason, Redeem and Naoki had never gotten along, and the only thing they could agree on was probably this fact.

She continued to glare at him and waited for him to put the gun down.
