Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nyx snickers at the thought as she creaps up ever so slowly behind Kujiro. She approachs him as silently as a cat. She holds an evil and devious grin on her face. With one quick movement, she head-dunks Kujiro down in the water. Nyx points and laughs for a bit and runs off giggling to avoid an possible payback that may be recieved. She sits quietly at the other end of the water with a smirk on her face, holding back several bouts of laugher. She watches her victim closely.

Gasping for air and utterly shocked at what had just occured, Nyx stared at Ito with a frightened expression. She fumbled for what to sayy and couldn't think clearly. She nodded while stuttering a few words of apology and promise. She found her way to a chair and sat down, colored red with severe embarrassment. Warpping a towel around her to shield herself from the wind, she stared at the ground, trying to hide her face with her hair.

Sadaeo barrel rolled suddenly as Sam used Kujiro's pet name. Coughing and sputtering from the sudden gasp of water and laughing the entire time. Luckily enough he'd regained his composure just quickly enough to hear Yusake's comment about their professor, and started nodding, his laughter bolstered by the comment about Jade having a 'hard on' for Dante. "That may be true Yusa, but I saw him eying you too. Maybe hes just a big power whore. For all we know that room just sucks the energy out of you for that creep to use in his wierd experiments. That other teacher Gab stormed off with didn't seem bad though." He paused momentarily just to double Yusake's comment about Kujiro's quick change in unison. Though he was slightly impressed by the addition of the girl's top and the water walking. Well, just enough to notice the energy flow from the man's body. His control wasn't bad at all.

"Ya' know though..."He popped an index finger out and flash dried Sam's hair so she would calm down, "Should all else fail I'm sure we could take him out between the two of us. Judging from the rest of your family you have to be at least slightly powerful Yusa, I got it covered otherwise, but you could watch if you like. Pending Gabbi doesn't beat the hell out of him before I get the chance." He half smirked with the last comment, knowing from Gabrielle's recollections that Kujiro was just as strong, and halfway implying to Kujiro that he knew it too without saying. Regardless he lost track of any and all deep thought about the three when Nyx had found her second target. Snickering just as she dove over Kujiro to dunk him.

Kujiro was unaware... "Ha ha, yeah, the dumb a**. Probably gets off on s**t like that." Yusake said to Sadaeo with a loud laugh, hands on his sides. Yet, Kujiro stood there, silently as he listened to his brother go on... "Tah, man, I could probably take 'em on myself. ******** the two of us, and Gab? No worries, the old man will probably keep us all away from him anyway. He wants me to like, follow the rules or be nice or some s**t like I ain't already nice, ya know? I'm like ********' springtime fresh cheers next to him!" Yusa continues to say, pointing his thumb at his brother. Of course, he reacted by glancing toward Yusa, glaring at him in a sort of manner no different then the usual way he seems to glare. If he in fact intended to say something, it would be unheard; As his head was abruptly pushed into the water, along with the rest of him. Not that he didn't have it coming, standing there, and being probably the only one who had yet to get his hair wet too! When the girl slinks off quickly, away from whatever retaliation Kujiro would grant her... He surfaces, but not just simply rising, he bursts out of the water with an ever more spiteful glare in his eyes. His expression was murderous almost, and had anyone been paying enough attention, they would see thin lines of crimson flowing from the outer portion of his eye into the center.

His [b]rage... Subsided though, as he sees the girl receiving the same treatment, though...considerably worse. And for as good as Kujiro's hearing may be, he could not hear what the blind man told the young lady that pushed him underwater. However, he could clearly see he was telling her something. And by her response, it most definitely wasn't an appropriate something to tell someone amusing themselves with mere pranks. But there, again, his attention would be distracted as the two girls once again came up to him, this time surrounding him from either side. "Yes, I know." he says to Mirumi when she introduces herself again, glancing sideways toward her. He may not have seemed it, but he certainly heard her the first time. "Hmm? No, you are incorrect." he says again, referring to the comment about showing off. "Excuse me a moment." he says, pushing himself off of the pool wall and approaching Ito by only a few steps. "You, sightless." he called out to him, using the word 'sightless' with a notable disdain, and feeling he deserved no more words to associate him with. "You would do well to watch your mannerisms toward the weak." he was, of course, referring to Nyx.

"Unlike you, I am not, and though I could not hear what it is you so crudely said to the young woman, I could see it's results. And juvenile as her game may have been, it did not warrant your cruelty or your attempt at discipline. I suggest..." he said, nearly interrupted as Yusake lifted a finger and began to speak. But no sooner had he, did Kujiro raise his hand to his younger brother, stopping him and continuing. "I suggest...that the next time you feel yourself in the right to force yourself on another, you reconsider. For if I see you doing this again, your lack of sight will not be the only handicap you have." he moves back to his position, a few feet away, without another word to the blind man. He had his say, and the fact was, he was infuriated by what the man had done. The cretin did not need sight to feel the intensity of Kujiro's eyes upon him either, that much even Yusake was aware of. "No more then you do, Samantha." Kujiro then said, addressing Sam's comment about him showing off. "Again, you are incorrect..." he said, at first setting his eyes on Samantha... "...Both of you." he finished, his eyes going back to Mirumi so that she would know she had his attention.

He acted all the same once more, as if the little talk down never happened. "I was simply doing as I always do, acting in a way that is natural...and of the norm, for me." he told her, though his words were meant for all to hear, not just Mirumi. "Tell me, Mirumi..." he said, trailing off in pause as his eyes settled onto her's. There was that glare again... It was unintentional, of course, simply the way his eyes seemed to stare into someone else's, as if peering through them and piercing their soul. But there it was... Directed onto her eyes now. "When you, or another school mate studies outside...in the courtyard perhaps? Yes... Of course..." he said, his words still meant to be heard by all whom were listening, not just her. "Tell me... When you go to pick up your books, do you qualify that as 'showing off' ...To the insects?" he asked, staring at her still. With her gaze now so close to him, she would certainly see his eyes...his right eye. There was movement within it, though it was faint, yet still noticeable. The movement appeared to be the same, crimson lines of energy that were flowing before. Though now, with Kujiro's focus more attuned and his temper brought down, it was not as easy to see. Odder still was the fact that the white, and the dark of his eyes seemed almost...transparent, a sheet which was covered over a pitch black object of an eye within it. He did not intend for her to see it, but he did not care if she did, for at the moment he was awaiting patiently for her...allowing her to go on with her questions and curiosity.

"Sooo yeah..." Yusake said, now between both Sam and Sad, rubbing the back of his head lightly. "...That's my big brother, grrrrreat...ain't he? Hehe...heh..."

Both girls watched as the unknown girl dunked both Ito and Kujiro under water. His abrupt explosion caused the both of them to jump back, slightly cowaring against each other. Mirumi's ears had swiveled backwards, dropping down onto her head in an unpleasent manner.Though, just as soon as her crimson eyes took note of the streaming blood vessels in his eyes, her ears perked curiously as she accompanied it with the slight tilt of the head. "Woah..." she muttered, stumbling backwards when he just casually turned towards her and spoke. Mirumi blinked, nodding slightly as Kujiro turned and headed towards the seemingly blind boy who had apparently threatened a playful, innocent girl. She swired around to Mika, who was staring off into space with a bored expression. "Did you see Kujiro? He's TALL!" she exclaimed in a half whisper, pointing to the large man behhind her. Mika glanced over, cracking a smile. "Or maybe you're just short." she added with a thick hint of spit, grinning mischeviously. Mirumi huffed, crossing her arms over her chest in a pout. Mirumi could feel the sensation of someone staring at her, the fur on her tail prickling with unease. Turning, she was relieved that it was only Kujiro. She listened for a moment, biting her lip and staring at the water as if she were in deep thought. She suddenly looked up with a gleeful expression, half-gasping with her mouth wide open. "Like how Mika sleeps with a guy then throws him aside the next day?!" she asked, which was in the norm for Mika. Mika, who was barely listening to the conversation, heard Mirumi's question and turned with a glare. "I suggest you shut your mouth before I do it for you!" she snapped, huffing deeply. Mirumi only turned back towards Kujiro, listening intently. She stared at him for a moment, thinking out the possiblities of his question. His glare didn't seem to pahse her at all, but only intrigued her even more. Finally she spoke. "Why are you asking me that? Mika's the one that shows off for everything." she stated without any seemingly regret. Mirumi suddenly let out a yelp, stumbling backwards. Mika had pulled her tail very slyly to where Mirumi hadn't noticed until her plot was put into action. Mirumi looked back up towards the tall Kujiro, grinning childishly. "Can you pick me up? I can't see your eyes from down here!" she asked, holding out her arms already.

Nyx gently stood up gently wrapping the towel around her waist and looked at him.
"Please mister..sir...uh...please, there is no need to apologize to me."
She gently bowed.
"I am the one who should be sorry. I-I'm very, very ashamed of what I did and I am so terribly sorry. Please...I'm sorry."
she stared at the ground sadly with her eyes near tears, unsure of whether she had done the right thing or not.

Ito sighed. "Listen ma'am... I'm here to apologize to you... I harbor no ill will towards you... So please come back to the hotsprings and enjoy yourself... Though I recommend staying away from that guy Kujiro..." He said quietly. He wasn't sure what to do, so he just spoke a few more simple words, expressing his heartfelt apology, and stepped back in the springs, wading back to his spot next to Sam. "Can someone please tell me why Kujiro is so... Hard to get along with?" He asked quietly, wanting to know what he had against the world as it seemed.

Kujiro nodded to Mirumi's words, a solemn gesture in fact. As he nodded, his right hand index finger extended to the air. "Yes, like how your slutty friend frequently beds strangers then casts them aside when they bore her, exactly like that." he says in answer to her question. "I'm glad you understand my analogy, Mirumi. At least someone gets it." he says, glaring in Yusake's direction. Though the comment was not solely meant for him, of course. "Wh-Wh...What the ******** did I do?!" Yusa called out, shaking his head at his brother. His attention focused away from though, following Ito as he returned to the young lady's side. For all the internal complaining he did about Kujiro, in the end he saw the light. Kujiro, in the meantime, let the two ladies near him bicker amongst themselves. It wasn't his place to interrupt their squabble or get in the middle, after all. His attention had been taken by Sad briefly, and he almost commented on his approach and seeming attempt to flirt. But again, he was interrupted, and again... Sam was the one responsible. "Yes Samantha, I am." she wasn't the only one who could put emphasis on a word, that's for damn sure. "Do you have a personal problem of some sort with that?" he asked, staring at her for a few moments.

In the meantime, Yusake answered Sad's shrug with his own shrug, as if to reply 'Being himself.' After all, this was Kujiro, Yusake's older brother and at times...well, a thorn in the side. "No." Kujiro spoke up once Mirumi felt it opportune to continue her 'discussion' with him. "I will not pick you up, as you are only a foot shorter then I. And you are not my daughter, and if you were...well, picking you up in my arms would just be...wrong, at your age." he said, and felt he was right. After all, they were perfect strangers, and she wasn't that short as far as he was concerned. Once again though, Yusake was overshadowed by his brother, not that he seemed to care. No, he had a grin on his face the whole time, he actually liked his brother getting some positive attention for a change. Even better that the majority of that attention was from girls, and Yusa figured he could use a girl or two...ahem. Happy moment aside, Ito once again had spoken up, and since he didn't appear to be hiding his comments in a low tone this time, Kujiro was more then free to respond. "Because you and others cannot take my truth, or my speaking of it to your faces.." he said, out loud so that Ito could clearly hear and understand. "Oh God, here we go." Yusa commented, his tone lowered so that only Sam and, perhaps, Ito could hear since they were near him.

"Because you cower, you cower and hide behind self fabricated lies. Individuals like yourself do not wish to face up to the truth, mine or anyone else's. Instead, you simply take what little amount of honesty your individual self can handle, and allow the rest to filter out as if it were poison to you. Individuals like you, and those who can't 'get along' with me merely dread the fact that I am honest, that I choose not to be nurturing and let you live out your childish fantasies and delusions. I am, as you say, hard to get along with because I merely state my viewpoint, of the world, of society, and of each and every one of your individual lives. And thus I have but one thing to say regarding it... If you have a problem with me, deal with it." Kujiro said, again glaring in Ito's direction. "Yup, that's my brother Kujiro." Yusa said to Sam, glancing toward her sideways. "Indeed I am, Yusake. And you, like I, know very well that the truth... It can be very painful, but must be faced directly and with conviction, lest it consume the soul with grief. So again, I say, if you have a problem with me sightless... Deal with it, one way or another." he finished... Harsh reality.
