Welcome to Gaia! ::

((As I've already mentioned to Sachi... my computer is broken and I will not be able to really post. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please just puppet Tori and Touya for now if you need to to move on.))

"Yeah. We've been preety close. We always watched each other's backs." Akira said as he continued to dance.

Kiyoshi walked towards a window on the side of the gym. He looked inside it and looked around for people he knew. He saw a few of his friends. He looked closer and saw Akira dancing with a girl he didn't know. "Wait to go Akira." he said with a smile.

[-cough- I totally forgot about this RP was busy with other stuff. n.n;;]

"Like brothers almost. That's cool. Did you ever have any other siblings?" Shizue had grown up an only child, often a bit lonely. Every now and then she would visit the local orphanage and help out, but she had still always wanted a little sibling. Of course, by the time she was in junior high, it was evident that her mom wouldn't be having another child. So she settled for planting and her chinchilla. Ooh...I don't think I fed him today.. She innerly winced, then waved it off. He was pretty intelligent for his species of animal, and would surely be able to feed himself. If not, he would probably satisfy himself by nearly chewing the metal bars in half until she returned that night.

"Same here. I guess my Mom thought one child to raise was enough." Laughing a bit, she smiled a little. "It's nice that you know you have someone that's always going to look out for you." Hearing people murmur as the last note of the song die out and a new one start, she curtsied and blushed slightly. "Thanks. You're a great dancer yourself."

Finally cleaned and dressed in a simple strapless teal dress, Tori slipped on a pair of flat soled ballet-like slippers and exited her dorm room. The evening air was cool against her face and her bare shoulders, something she greatly enjoyed. Normally her body was covered in her mass of wavy lavendr locks but her hair was pulled back in an elegant ponytail. It made her feel liberated in an odd sort of way.

However, when she arrived at the gymnasium she stopped short. Standing by the window at the far side of the building was someone who, by rights, should not have even been on the school grounds. Her breath caught in her throat and her heart literally skipped a beat. 'How...?' she thought, staring with wide eyes. Forcing her feet to move, Tori rushed towards the lone figure.

"Kiyoshi...!"



Touya smiled his trademark smile and dipped Mimi. He gazed down adoringly at her before lowly pulling her back up. "No, thank you for the dance, Goddess Mimi," he said softly. The song itself seemed to be ending and slowly, Touya let their dance come to a stop. The evening was still very young but Touya already knew that he would not be letting Mimi out of his sights until the dance was done with. There was no one else in the entire room who deserved to even glance at his date, or so he believed. He was, like most young men, very conceited when it came to the girls he wanted to be with.

"Would you like to continue dancing? Or would you like to take a break?" Trying his best to impress Mimi, he would make himself into the most considerate and charming young man in the gymnasium.

((Yeah, my Touya post is really crappy... I'm out of practice with my Prince Charming skills sweatdrop ))

Tori stumbled as she was turned and nudged forwards. She still could not believe that Kiyoshi was back at the school, looking as though nothing had really happened. She didn't know how he had healed so fast; his presence completely shocked her.

But she was relieved. She had been thinking about him non-stop since he had been taken away on the stretcher. She had been hoping quietly that he would pull through and be back at school fairly quick. She had thought about how lonely her history class would be without him to bother.

Stopping, Tori didn't go into the gymnasium. Instead, she turned around to face Kiyoshi, her head bowed slightly. "I'm glad you're okay, Kiyoshi. I was really scared that you would..."

She let her comment end there, not daring to say what was on her mind. She felt that if she did utter the word then it would turn out to be true and that Kiyoshi wasn't really standing in front of her. She would not be able to bear it if her mind was just playing a cruel joke on her. Even though he had been able to touch her, she still held a faint trace of fear. After all, weren't there spirits that could touch people and objects just to make a scene?

Shivering lightly at the thought, Tori tried to clear her head and shifted her gaze upwards slightly. "Are you... not attending the dance? I had hoped that... maybe I'd get to dance with you at least once..." A faint blush coloured her cheeks and though she was gazing at him, her head was still bowed in order to hide the redness.
