Alek~
I directed Aizis to the nearest bathroom(in the dorms) and afterward I showed her to the dorm room. We could hear Caleb and Izumi walking away, arguing again over where to go next.
"Hmmm, I guess Izu-chan and Caleb aren't geting along as well as we are." Aizis said.
"Nooo. What makes you say that? They're a perfect match!" I said sarcasticly.
"SHUT UUUUUUUUP!" Izumi's scream echoed down the hall. We flinched.
"Let's hurry up and get away from them." I laughed.
"Poor Izu-chan! Caleb seemed so nice earlier!"
"Well, we caught him in a good mood. Seems like he's having fun torturing a new recruite!"
"No way is he that mean!" Aizis said.
"Hes just glad for some new faces, like the rest of us. After a year or so with all the same people, we all kinda get on each other's nerves!" I assured her, not hinting at my friend's ass-ish tendencies. She'll figure that out for herself.
"Are you guys good friends?"
"You wouldn't think so, since our personalities are so differnt and stuff, but we've gotten along since he got here a year ago."
"Wow, you've been here over a year?"
"Yeah, I've been here all my life. Literally, I was born here."
"No way!" She looked shocked.
"Well, yeah. After the shadow angels escaped, my rents had to run for it so they came here."
"Wow! I really am lucky then! You must be like the best guide they have! Oh shit!" She gasped. We were in the dorm common room, and three guesses who was there too?
"Damn! Fudos really gettin arround today!" I ducked down behind the couch, pulling Aizis with me. Maybe he wont notice us...I wasn't too hopeful. That crazy geezer always knows when you're there.
He kinda just stood there, in the middle of the huge room looking up at the stained glass window. Suddenly Reina walked...well, uh, rolled up to him. "They've returned." She said in that eery clam voice of hers.
"12,000 years is a long time to wait..." Fudo said, shocking us with how sane he sounded.
"And so the events of 24,000 years unfold..," Reina replyed, her words sounding like an omen.
It was silent for awhile. "They've returned?" I asked in a hushed voice. "Whats that mean?"
"The reincarnations!" Aizis hissed. "Apollo and Sylv-" She stoped, lokking confused. "Uh I mean-"
I suddenly had a flash back. In my head I saw this girl with short blond haird wearing some kind of armor, then the image was replaced with one of a girl with longer blond hair, tied up in two loops in the back and wearing this pink outfit, and then it all faded, leaving me looking at Aizis.
"Apolonius and Celiane." I finnished for her, shacking the weird vision off.
Suddenly Fudo's up-side down head came down infront of us, the kanji for 'big' written on his forehead.
"AAH!" We scrambled away. Where'd he come from!?
"ONE NEEDS THEIR ARMS TO BE BIG!" He said too loudly. He got up from leaning over the back of the couch.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS SHIRT?" Aizis yelled.
Fudo was shirtless, and writen on his chest was the kanji for emtiness. What the?
"Well lets just go and- RUN!" I yelled. We booked it for the girl's wing.
"AQUARION!" He yelled, runing behind us. GOD DAMN IT!
The door to the girls wing opened and we ran in, it slamed shut behind us. A dull thud suggested that Fudo didn't quite stop in time.
"Thanks, Serena!" I said to the girl standing infront of the door.
"No problem." She laughed. "The Old Man sure keeps us on our toes," She said to Aizis, "I wonder if he knocked himself out this time?" She opened the door and looked on the floor. No Fudo. Just a pile of rose petals. "Damn. How does he do that? Crazy geezer..."
"Well, Aizis this is Serena, Serena, Aizis." I made the quick introduction.
"Hey roomie!" She said chearfuly. "Lemme show you where you sleep."
After the dorm tour it was time for dinner(thank god!), which wasn't too much of disaster. Well...Izumi did end up wearing her ramen...and she did toss most of Caleb's chicken nuggets out the window...and Fudo did make an appearence...in a man-mono...with tea...and we all did walk away with hot water burns...and my melon loaves did get reduced to tea soaked mush....very hot tea soaked mush that burned like hell when it hit you in the face after Caleb tried to toss it at Izumi, who was standing infront of me, who ducked...and Caleb did recite some very horrible poetry(fucking elephants)...
Well lets put it this way, we all walked away alive and unscared.(Except for me, who had the fucking beetle land on his face, whiched cause him to jump out of his seat, hitting the table, which spilled Izumi's ramen, who then "accidently" turned the blame on Caleb, which then caused the whole flying-nuggets, Fudo-attracting, deadly-tea-party-bread-soaking-scalding-food-fighting reaction. But I can't take all the blame. The terrible dreaded poetry was all on Caleb!)
All in all, not a bad night!
......................
Izumi~
"WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO!?!?" I shreiked at the top of my lungs, accidently sending the simulator into another nose dive.
"STOP PANICING!" Caleb yelled behind me, taking the controlls and straitening us out. "The controlls are sensitive to your steering AND emotions, so find some fucking COMPOSURE!"
"Are you guys okay in there? Anyone dead yet?" Alek's voice came over the com, and his and Aizis's faces appeared on screen.
"Dude, nice arials!" Another guy's voice laughed. Serena and the guy, Keisuke, appeared on screen too.
"Maybe I could figure this out if you taught me what to do!" I yelled.
"Well, then work with me here! Stop being so goddamn stuborn!" He yelled back.
"Well, did he explain-" Alek began.
"Yeah, yeah. Control your emotions, feel the vector, control it with your mind and body. He's said it."
"Not that her heads too thick to get it or anything." Caleb remarked.
"Would you-" I whiped my head arround to glare behind me, pulling the controls to the side as i went. There was a resounding crash as my vector collided with Zeta, flying beside me. The simulaters shook like crazy.
"Hey, hey! Watch it you two!" Serena yelled.
"IT WASN"T ME! IT WAS ALL HER!" Caleb yelled.
"HEY." Alek interupted. "Commends coming through."
A girl from the command room came in over the coms. "Alright, lets go for a practice merge, Alpha you head-"
"AQUARION!" Fudos voice came in.
"Yes, Fudo, now please give me the mic-"
"HITO! HITO! TEAM WORK! THREE ARE STRO-" The transmition cut off.
We sat in silence for a moment. "Oooooooooooookay." Caleb said. "I guess we merge."
"Are you sure?" Aizis asked. "Should we make sure Fudos not likw raping her or something?"
"Just merge!" Serena said, sounding bored.
"Wait, should we? I know we're heading but wasn't she going to say something else?" Alek asked.
"I don't know, well maybe we should-" I started.
"To merge, or not to merge, that is our question!" Keisuke said lamely.
"SHUT UP!" five people responded.
In the end, we went for it. We all flew in position.
"Steady.." Caleb warned.
"I'm good, I'm fine!"
"Yeah you are." He said, sounding mildly shocked.
"Shut up you-"
"Sorry to interupt but are you gonna say it anytime soon?" Alek interupted.
"OH, shit! Yeah, right, uh, Merge 1!" I stumbled.
"Merge 2." Serena said.
"Cool! Oops, GO! Aquari-" Sudenly all three simulators shook and were thrown appart, tumbling and jostling all their piolits.
"AAAAAH!" Some one's earspliting shreik crackled across the coms.
"Damn. Fuck. Shit. Fuck!"
"Oh you stupid peice of shit!"
Eventually we were all under control. "Alright, who screwed up?" Keisuke asked.
"Probably Izumi." Caleb said.
"What!?" I turned arround in my seat, not noticing how the air arround me was crackling with static, and let go of the controls. Dumb mistake. That caused the sim to tumble out of control. I feel side ways, reaching out with a hand to steady myself...and touched the cool metal of the controls.
There was a huge crack, and blue electricity crackled arround the pod. In a flash, the light was gone, the sim was still and dark, and the small cockpit was filled with a smell like burned hair. Probably mine.
"Oooooooow." I moaned pulling myself up. Damn. I let myself get too pissed...
"Hell...Izumi! Are you ok?" Caleb reach out and touched my arm. With an audile snap, a blue spark jumped between his hand and my arm.
"Shit! Damn old machinery. Is Deava trying to kill us?"
Good. He didn't know that was my fault....
He kicked the shot sim's hatch open and immediatly we were ambushed by everyone.
"Are you guys okay?"
"What was that?"
"Damn! Izumi, I think you might have gotten a little singed!"
"How did that-"
An ear spliting alarm went off. "Whats that?" I yelled over it.
"Shadow angel attack!" Caleb said.
A voice come on the speakers. "All elements to their vectors. Vector Alpha, Alek.-"
"See you all later." he shot off toward a cicular opening in the wall.
"Vector Psi, Caleb.-" He ran after Alek with out a word.
"Vector Zeta, Aizis."
"WHAT!" She freaked.
"Go!" Serena yelled pushing her toward the opening.
"What? But i can't, i don't-"
"You were pefect in the sim, you'll be fine!" Keisuke assured.
"True. Fine, where-"
"Go throught there, theres this long tube, like a slide. It'll get you to Zeta." Serena said, still pushing.
She looked at me, regaining her confidence waaaaay too quickly. "Wish me luck!" She smiled, then broke down, "Crap. I might need it!"
"Good luck! you'll be fine! Channel your reincarnation!" I said.
"Who ever that is, i just hope they were-"
"GO!" We all said and pushed her into the tube.
......(^v^)........
Well, I'll leave details for the first merge to you! Haha, well how R we doing that?
Caleb~
After being attacked by that damn Fudo for the second time (gahhhh), I pulled the new chick over to the dorms. On the way over, I decided to interigate a little. Could she be Celiane? Or even.... (probably not possible) Apollonius? I was so freaking tired of hearing ONE DAY THEY WILL BE FOUND! Shut the fisc up.
"So, Izumi... Do you have flashbacks and shit?" She looked up confused, so I continued. "What I mean is, seeing something that couldn't have possibly happened to you, but yet you know it?
"I still have no freaking clue what you mean."
"Ah, bitch. Okay, sometimes I see these awful imgaes, like this guy with long red hair getting tortured, nailed to a wall. And during it, I'm just watching.. I might even hit him once or twice as well. And some other times, I see him, and this blond girl, and they're all "I LOVE YOU!", and then Apollonius- the red-head- looks my way and smiles and shit. I can't really understand it myself..." I said, grabbing the back of my neck, feeling the odd, random feathers that sprouted there. I hadn't told anyone about them, luckily my hair covered them.
"I-"
"Caleb!" Who...? I turned to see Alek strolling towards me, with his arm around some tiny blond chick. I looked at them, and all of a sudden felt.... Happy? Like they belonged together or something. And then I saw a flash of the red and blond haired coupld- Apollonius and Celaine..... And as quickly as it came, it left. Huh.
"Hey, Alek. Who's the chick?"
"Aizis." The little thing spoke up. Then she looked at Izumi, and threw her arms around her. "Izu-chan! You didn't get killed by the cross dresser!"
"Er... No." Izumi laughed and hugged her back.
"Can I wear your hat?" Aizis piped up, looking up at me. Why can't I say no? I feel like... I know her, and I like her, and I would do anything to protect her and Alek. It's the same with him. I normally hate people... But somehow, me and Alek are friends. IM SO CONFUSED!
"Sure, hun." I pulled off the hat and handed to her. She popped it on her head.
"I'm Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaleb~!" She sang. Then she looked me over. "Should I take my shirt off?"
"No!"
"What?! No Aizis!"
"Yes." Oh Caleb, you perv...
"Caleb, the hell?!" Alek whacked me in the stomach. I laughed, punching him in the arm. Azis stopped dancing, and took on a grouchy expression.
"Azis, you okay?" Izumi asked, looking over at her.
"Shut up bitch and get me some nuggets." Azis said, and then she walked over and pucnhed Alek in the stomach. He looked shocked for a second, and then he grabbed her and started to "beat her up". Ick.
"No chicken for you you little-!" Izumi yelled, laughing, and charged the two of them, joining in on the "let's kill Caleb!" fest.
"DON'T HURT MY HAT!" I yelled, and dove, knocking them all over. Aftr a few minutes of attack, I finally had my hat safely back onto my head. We sat in the grass, laughin our asses off. That is , until-
"YOU GUYS NEED TO BE THE FROG!" Shit! I turned to look at the commander, and nearly died. He weas wearing.... a. frog. suit. Aizis and Izumi screamed, ducking behind the two of us. Izumi dug her fingers into my arm. Ouch dammit!
"Lord, Fudo!" Alek said, "you don't wanna kill these girls!"
"THE FROG KNOWS ITSELF! IT IS NEVER ANYTHING BUT A FROG!" The he dropped to his and said, "Apollonius, Celaine! You've returned! Let us fly like we used to!"
"What the hell is he talking about?!" I said, did he mean someone here was Apollonius and someone was Celiane? Who?! "Commander, what?" But it was too late. He was already walking away, sort of dancing and singing. I heard the words:
go tight, shoutai, fumei no show time.... Uh, what?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aizis~
It was wierd, let me tell you. When me and Izumi ran into the boy in the hallway, and I looked at him, it was like a BAM slap in the face! moment. It was as if something was drawing me to him. Not sure what, fear of the freaky crossdressing man yelling sbout arrows? Or the blind girl? I guess I'll never know.
And even wierder, as we were walking around, he stopped and said, "Ya know? I feel like I know you from somewhere..." Voiceing exactly what I was thinking.
But, that was all behind us as we watched the creepy frog-man dance away.
"So.... Does that mean anyone of us could be on of them?" I said, finally jumping out from my scared little perch behind him.
"I'm assuming." Caleb said, pulling Izumi's hands off of his bare arm. And I could see why, there were deep red cresents forming.
"So... Who do you guys think?" Izumi said, "One of us.... Hmmm.."
"I can't really say..." Alek said. He scratched his head, and then suddenly went, "Wait, Caleb, remember what they told us about how the reincs. have flashbacks and crap?"
"Oh, right! Okay, who here has them?" I looked, Caleb, Alek, and I had our hands raised, Izumi didn't.
"So, then it's not me?" She looked a little dissapointed.
"That's not certain. The past Celiane, or one half at least, wrote that her brother didn't have flashbacks until a little before he died. Up until then, He was suspected of being Apollonuis." Izu-chan and I stared at him. What?! He's SMART?! "Okay, I read alot. Dont' look at me like that dammit!"
"Sorry.." Izumi said. "It's just shocking that an asshole like you can be smart!"
"What did you say, you little bitch?" They glared at eachother for a few minutes, and in that time, i realized something important...
"ALEK I HAVE TO PEE!" I exclaimed. He gasped in fake worry and yelled, grabbing my hand and pulling me after him,
"I have to get this woman to a bathroom! Bye Izumi, Caleb! Try not to kill eachother!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Done!
Was Alek and Izu okay? ^^
Izumi~
I walked through the city surrounding the legendary Deava in a daze. It seemed like the city was oddly empty for being in such a safe location. I managed to find my way though...
My first glimpse of Deava took my breathe away. It was better then I'd imagined, but also...not. It had some buildings that were modern, high-tech and others looked like crumbling ruins, built thousands of years ago.
But one thing was for certain, it was huge!
"Cool. Now what?" I sighed, feeling over whelmed.
"Hey, are you lost?"
I glanced up the road, another girl was walking down the street. She, like me carrying a small bag.
She smiled. "You are aren't you? Are you new? That makes two of us! I'm Aizis."
"Hey. I'm Izumi." Aizis stoped next to me, taking in the view.
"Well, lets go."
"What?" I said taken aback. "Do you know where we're suposed to be?"
"Nope, but we can ask around."
"I-i guess." I said, uncomfortable. Damn! I'd lost my chance to explore...maybe i can still get aWay.
"Lets go!" She grabed my arm and pulled me along behind her.
Noooo...
..............
Well, so much for my plan to find the dorms before orientation. We were so lost.
"Lets try this way!" Aizis said turning down a crumbling old coridor.
"You know what? You go that way, I'll find my own way thanks." I am so done with this!
"Are you sure? You're bound to get lost.."
"WE'RE ALREADY LOST! I wouldn't have done any worse if I were alone!" I yelled, exasperated.
"Yeah...we are aren't we? Sorry, just thought you'd like some company on your first day. It's not like they told us where to go, or even sent a greeting party!"
Oops. I hope i didn't come off as too much of a bitch...probably too late though. "Ooh, sorry. I didn't mean to sound so stand offish, i gues I'm just no good at this hole 'lets work together!' thing they preach-"
"THREE ARRRRRRRRRROWS."
"What the?" Aizis said and looked arround.
"I have no-"
"THREE ARROWS TOGETHER ARE STONGER THAN ONE ALONE!" A crazy looking man in a dress came running down the hall at us.
"AAAAAAAAHHH!" We lept back as he pulled up in front of us. DUDE! he had some hairy ass legs!
"TWO PEOPLE MUST LEAN ON EACH OTHER!" He yelled, grabing my shoulders and shaking the hell outta me.
"AIZIS!" I yelled.
"RUN!" She responded and yanked me out of his grip. We took off down the hall. I looked back.
"DUDE! HES CHASING US!" I said franticly.
"HITO! EMPTINESS! AQUARION!" He yelled at us.
"RUN FASTER!" Aizis said. We ran awhile, eventually turning into a more modern looking hall and nearly crashed into this tall brown haired guy.
"Wow! Whats the rush?" He asked.
"Theres....theres..." I gasped, trying to catch my breath.
"This old man, chasing us. In a dress!" Aizis exclaimed, glancing fearfully back. He was gone.
"A.....dress?" The guy asked.
"Yeah...th-that dress!" I said poiting at this creepy ass chic in a wheel chair behind him.
"Huh?" He looked back. "Oh, he's cosplaying already, huh? Don't worry, that was just Old Man Fudo, the Captain."
"Captain Fudo?" Aizis and I both asked. But, he was a legend! Not a...
"He's gotten a bit...crazier. You'll learn to avoid him! You guys are here for orientation? Cool, glad you managed to find your way, its right through here," He said opening a door to his left. Voices drifted out.
"Thanks!" Aizis said cheerfully. I nodded my thanks and went in. I heard Aizis's voice behind me. "So whos that? The girl in the chair looking at us?"
"Who? Oh thats Reina. Our expert on the Holy Book of Genisis. And shes not looking at us, Shes blind."
Oi. This is going to be a long day.
..............
The procter called my mentor's name, Caleb, like four times before he got off his ass. And when he came up he just stood there checking me out!
"You can stop sizing me up now, thanks." I snaped.
"Sizing you up? Sorry to break it to you, but theres not much there to size up!" He said, responding to my tone.
"Ass." I mummbled.
"Excuse me? I didn't quite catch that."
"Izumi, Caleb. Take your seats!" the procter snaped. We were forced through a history leasson, detailing the events of 24,000 years ago(the original story of Appolonius and Celiane), 12,000 years ago(the story of the first successfull Deava team), and again, just a few years ago, when the Shadow Angels rose once again. All of them were cloned, from a single feather...human stupidity at it's greatest.
Eventualy we found ourselves in the outdoor trainng area, Caleb was actually doing his job and showing me arround, which suprised me. We'd been through most of the compound already.
"Well, heres the track and stuff, obviously. We do sparing and shit in that building over there," he gestered to an old one with a huge stained glass window, "And theres a swimming pool too."
"Swiming pool? We don't have to actually swim to we?" I asked with a sinking feeling.
"No, we throw newbies in to feed our sharks." he said sarcasticly, "Duh! How'd you come to that briliant deduction?"
I felt the air arround me charge with static. "Shut up."
He shook his head. "Really, asking stupid questions like that! Are oyu sure you belong here?"
"What, and you've never asked a stupid question before?"
"I try not to no."
"God, that just sounds conceited." I glared at him, then something suddenly dawned on me. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SHIRT?"
He glanced down. "What shirt?"
"You didn't wear a shirt!?"
"You just noticed?" He rolled his eyes. "Jeezus, you're as stupid as they come aren't you?"
"STUPID!? Hey, watch your mouth you little-"
"HITO!"
"GAH!" Caleb and I both yelled and scrambled backwards. Fudo had suddenly poped up right between us, waaaay too close for comfort. "NO WAY!" Caleb yelled, covering his forehead with his hands, "Not again!"
Fudo turned to me. "Three arrows!"
"HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GONNA TELL THAT STUPID PROVERB TO ME?" I yelled.
Fudo bent down and picked a few wild flowers. "Whats he doing?" I asked, mystified.
"Probably seting up some kinda trick. Hes like some kind of magician or something." Caleb said, "And old as hell, so basicaly, hes probably senile!"
"How do you know that?"
"Read it some where." He said crypticly.
"Would it kill you to-" All of a sudden, Fudo flicked his hand and the flowers turned into arrows - point first, and uncomfortably close to my face. "Aaaah! C-caleb!"
"Back away. Slowly." He said. I took a step back.
"BUT EVEN THREE ARROWS CAN BREAK!" Fudo snaped them in half, showering me with splinters.
"RUN!" Caleb yelled, and we bolted, headed back towards the Vector hangers.
"AQUARION!" Fudo yelled after us.
What is that!? I've heard about it in stories, but what does that have to do with us?
Who knows. I wonder how Aizis is doing?
.......(^v^)..........

Caleb~
I punched my 8 digit number code into the keypad next to the door marked CAFETERIA(bitches). A freakin' annoying beep came out of the thing and the door slid open. Yay, food time.
I stepped through the doors, nearly running over that white-haired chick in the wheelchair. What's her name... Reika? No, that's the bad luck one... Oh, yeah. Rena...
"'Scuse me." I muttered, jumping to avoid the little speed-demon. She just looked up and smiled, and continued on. Wierd.. Definitely.
I'd spent the day at the Daeva headquarters library, my favorite place next to my room. I read old reports from the first group of elements, the ones that preceded us about 12,000 years or so. The majority are written by the reincarnation of Celiane, Silvia i think? after the whole war in Atlandia. Pretty good stuff. I stuck my hand in my pocket, finding the foldeed piece of paper right where I'd stuck it. It was apparently a poem written by her older brother, something about elephants and dancing?
Anyway, the stories that chick wrote are really interesting. I dunno, old things are cool. Like my dorm room, for instance. It apparently belonged to the older brother, and it's got swords and armor and shit everywhere.
I stepped in line behind a bunch of people, mainly new recruits. There are only 2 or 3 who have been here as long as I have, one is even suspected of being Appolonius. Me? I'm somehow linked to him. I have flashbacks every so often, and they ain't pretty. but, back to thestory... I recognize one recruit as the one I trained last month. Annoying little bastard. Don't notice me.... Dont notioce me... Don't-
"Caleb!" Frick!
"What?" I snapped. Damn children.
"Oh my gosh, hi! What are you doing here?" Obviously, he didn't hear the COMPLETE AND UTTER CONTEMPT in my voice. I felt the pissed-ness growing. I had another recruit to train later today. Joy.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm tapdancing on the ceiling, of course."
"Oh my god yoiu're so funny!" The kid was literally in hysterics, almost rolling on the floor. "That's what I like about you."
"Gee, thanks. I don't know how I'd live without your approval." I bowed mockingly, "I'm honored."
"No, the pleasure is aaaaaall mine!" What the hell is this kid?! How can anyone be this dense??
"Sure, sure. Now move it along kid, I want my damn chicken nuggets."
"Oh, sorry Cal!" NICKNAMES?! "Go ahead in front of me!" Hmm.... Maybe he's not so bad after all...
"Thanks kid, you're not so bad." Before he could rape me, I grabbed a tray and filled it with as much food as I could. Daeva definitely made up for sucky people with stew-worthy food. YES!
I finally got to a table, one near the windows in the back. The headquarters overlooked a forest-y thing. Nice.
"Hhhh.. I don't wanna train these bitches." I sighed, talking to myself. "Why do we need to?"
"HUMAN WEAKNESS!" Came a loud reply behind me. The hell?
I turned to fin Commander Fudo racing towards me. Ah, shit.
"You must look inside yourself and be like a frog! Take your shoes off!" And with that, he shoved his finger into the ketchup on my tray and drew a "hito" on my forehead. God, sometimes I love life.
"Commander... GO AWAY."
"EVEN THREE ARROWS WILL BREAK! FLOW LIKE AN UNDISCOVERED SPRING!" He was chasing some new recruits around now. I'd never been here for one of his freak outs. Mostly, he's recluse and serious, but occaisionally, he'll go running around yelling messed up proverbs and life lessons. I recognize some from Silvia's writing. What a whack job.
_____________________________
A little later, after washing the ketchup off of my forehead bastard, i wandered Daeva grounds, repeating that strange poem..
The Elephant dances an elegant tango....
Eh, maybe he was a drunk.
I was about to wander into the woods when I was stopped by... Oh, Rena again.
"Don't you have to be somewhere?" She smiled strangely again, flashing a little fang. Oh, uhh... Fang?
"Fine! It's not enough to be attacked by that nutso Fudo, now I have to train some stupid newbies?" I threw my arms in the air. Damn!
"Mhmm." She nodded matter-of-factly and rode away. I walked into the schoolroom. Our Teacher/Attendent/everything was standing in front of them room with abunch of new people. Ugh.
"Caleb.. Nice of you to join us." She sneered a little. Silvia was lucky, that Sophia sounded nice, compared to this bitch. "I'll read off the names of recruits and mentors now."
She droned through the list. I listlessly played with the things hanging off of my hat. They're fun.
"Caleb!" She screeched from the front.
"AUGH! What now?!"
"Here's your recruit. Izumi Marx, meet Caleb." I looked over the chick in front of me. Hmm.. Not bad looking..
"You can stop sizing me up now, thanks." She snapped out. Damn... I think we'll get along fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DONE!
Oh, you'll see that I don't post a lot of dialougue. I'll try though ^^ :)
