Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ophelia threw over a goofy grin, Kyo and Kichiro. She had to wonder if Chun was going to slink in any second, thus completing the Nyonko high five. Then she eyed her cosuing for a second, srurprised that he was late. Usually he, even with having to take a bus from as far out as the family shrine, was allways prompt and present for the start of class. He never broke a rule, never skipped a class, and never talked back.

Wimp.

(( Nyonko... High... Five? Did I miss something? ))

[Sorry, Nyonko High is the namw of the school that Chun, Ophelia, Kyo, Sora and kichiro all attend. TRhat's five at Nyonko, and Ophelia likes sitcom groups. Let her be.]


" 'bout time you showed up, Kichiro. I waited for you all morning, saw nothing of you. Not like you, of all people, to be late," Kyo said, with a smirk. "Anyways, if you didn't remember to get it, I picked up a copy of your schedule for you." Reaching into his pocket, Kyo produced a small folded piece of paper, and passed it to his fried. "Your semester looks like a bore, Kichiro, and the only classes we ended up with together in are this one, and a Computer Science class in last period. At least it's at the end of the day; I think all I'll ever even do is play games or chat or something. Paying attention and doing actual work is such a drag."

With an attitude like that, it was a surprise Kyo got any work. Moreso, it was a surprise he did so well in his classes. It shouldn't have been possible; it had to be some sort of anomally. Quietly, he snuck over to where Sora and Ophelia (( She drowns herself in a river later, right? razz )) were standing. Standing behind and to the left of Sora, Kyo tapped her right shoulder carefully, then leaned towards her left ear.

"You're totally going down this year, squirt," he said, then walked away casually, chuckling, back to where he'd left Kichiro. Class had hardly started, and he was already looking forward to demolishing Sora's record grades in it. He'd beat her this year. This time. He was sure of it.

She looked up as the gates opened, and smiled as someone came in, bowing to them.

"Welcome to the Hinata House Shrine." She greeted. "Please look around as much as you want; only the grounds are opened. If there's anything you need I'm here to help; and the bathroom is inside, to your left." She said, then nodded to the tourists as they smiled.

One asked if they could take a picture of the shrine priestess, and she bowed, telling them she was the priestess, and that they could do as they wished. One of the women walked over to her, smiling and standing next to her as both women turned to look at the camera, the woman dwarfing her greatly as most people did.

After they took the picture, they went to go look at the grounds, and Madison was left to go back to cleaning.

[Reminds me so much of holic.]

Instead of freaking out like most people would, Sora stood there, wondering where "Such an annoying noise" had come from. She waited, thinking as hard as she could, before she turned around, glaring at Kyo.

"My a** you will!" She pointed at his back, as if some kind of challenge. "Right now man, we'll see who can flip over the guard the farthest! You and me!"

(( Check Card Captor Sakura. In gym class, and in most manga, they have this tall stack of slabs with a cushion on top, and the people jump, and flip, launching themselves off the middle with their hands, trying to get as high as possible and landing safely. It's hard man; I've tried. ))

Immediately a rush of wispers ran through the crowd. This like 'Already?' and 'Five-hundred yen on-' rustled through the forest of teens. Sora grinned at him, knowing he couldn't back down when other people already knew about it.

Their gym teacher rushed up to her, and gave her a thumbs up. "Awsome! A class motivator! A competition between my two best students is exactly what we need!"

She could only cross her arms expectantly at Kyo. All the negative attention would have driven' him crazy if he set the challenge down. "Come on, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty..."

"Well, enjoy yourself. I'm going to go say hi to Ophelia." Kichiro smiled to his friend and walked to where Ophelia was standing, he nodded politely to her as he stood next to her and watched Sora and Kyo.

"First day of school at they are at it again, I hope neither of them gets hurt too badly, you know how they get ahed of themselves sometimes." He said, smiling calmly.

(( Still waiting for an explanation on what's being done with the whole competition. ))

(( Have you ever played leap-frog? Well, it's like, using your hands to jump off of a person's back, except this time it's a tall block, usually made of wood with a big cushion on top. People jump, push themselves off of the cushion, and usually into flips, landing like in a gymnatsics competition. ))

((On a side note.... If anyone has some really "Happy cute go lucky Oh my Gosh it's a little girl!" Theme music that they can like send to me some how over the internet, that would be really helpful. I recently searched my inventory for some but I only found dark emo music.... sigh.... Thanks in advance if you send me any. I am really motivated to write with theme music. Tons of people are telling me to make a story that is not all dark, bloody and requires one to have to go to therapy after. Unfortunately I do not have the music to produce such a story... so they are out of luck. Anyways, now I'm just blabbing about my life.... sorry... yeah I know... I do need more friends...bah.))

"When I say your name, please raise your hand." Nina smiled wearily. She felt a bit attacked with that test and it threw her off. She hated going back to school and it was usually the first week that was always the worst. She knew that she had to go though if she ever wanted to pursue her dream. She began to daydream thinking of her possibilities for a job. She saw herself on iron chef cooking up this fantastic meal, she also saw herself doing performance bartending, as well as a catering amazing parties that she set up. She smiled at the dream hearing her name being cheered only to come back to reality to see the teacher up in her face shaking her a bit and saying Nina. "Nina... Nina.... Nina!" Nina shook her head and then glanced at the teacher. "This is going to be an interesting year... isn't it?" The teacher said quite sarcastically. She sighed and then walked back to the front. "What am I going to do with you?" She made a crude pointy cone hat and wrote something on it. "Alright, you will have to wear this if you are caught disrespecting my class. You will have to wear it for the rest of the day."

Nina's lifted the hat a bit to see the teacher. The hat was a bit big on her and on the hat, the wording. "I am the class fool" was written in bold letters. Nina smiled a bit seeing all the kids turn back and snicker a bit at her misforune. Why is this happening to me already? Nina thought to herself as she glanced at her comedic yet strict teacher. She is going to be the death of me... I gotta get out of here! Ohhhh! If only I had a power that could just make me disapear or something like that! The teacher smiled at her as her arms were crossed and then walked back to the front and began continuing to lecture the class.
