Avatre was so confused and lost, she found herself wondering around the hallway's trying to interpret the map of the school, and find her classroom. She couldn't believe this was such a big school, and she was having a terrible time trying to understand the Japanese writing, she only knew a few words and none of them were helping her find this classroom. Sighing, she began to walk past another hallway on her left when suddenly she was knocked down. Landing hard on her back, Avatre lost managed to lose her books. Getting up to her knees she began to gather her books, mumbling out a shy apology to whomever she ran into. As she looked up, she found she was looking into a pair of fiery blue eyes. The boy had black hair, and a shy expression as he talked to her apologized to her. She noticed that he was slightly taller then her, he said something else she didn't catch, and seemed to be waiting for her to say something. When she didn't say anything after a bit, he reached out a hand like he was offering her a hand up. Grabbing his hand gently, and standing up Avatre was surprised to feel how hot his hand was, it was almost as if it were on fire. She was suddenly very hot, and was surprised to notice the heat seemed to come from this boy. Stunned Avatre quickly turned to leave, running to the office, hopefully someone there would be able to help her find her class.
A few minutes later Avatre found herself following some girl to her classroom. She hadn't been that far away when she had bumped into that guy, and luckily arrived only slightly after the bell. She waited patiently, while the girl walked into the room, and talked to the teacher, eventually waving her in. Walking up to the teacher, Avatre felt very self-conscious walking in front of the whole class. She glanced up quickly at hearing her teacher introduced her. She was stunned to find herself looking at the same boy from the hallway, and found herself getting lost in those blue eyes. Avatre tore her gaze away as the teacher told her to sit by someone named Sage, and she glanced around the room nervously. Noticing a pale, blond haired boy raise his arm, Avatre glanced to his right. Seeing there was a desk there she walked down the row, and took her seat, thankful that it was in the back.
Pulling out her book she was happy that her first class was Anatomy, at least she knew anatomy well, so the fact that Japanese wasn't her first language shouldn't give her too much trouble. She knew enough Japanese to get along, it just took her awhile to process what was being said to her. She was still surprised that her family had to move out here, she never would have expected her dad to make such a big move for his work, but his promotion meant he had to be in Japan. Avatre had really wanted to come to Japan, so she was happy, but she still wasn't to sure if she was really ready to give up America as her home, not that she had a choice. The teachers voice pulled her attention back to the class, she pulled out her notebook to begin taking notes, but found that it was much harder then she had thought it would be. Sighing in resignation, Avatre settled into her seat a little more, might as well be comfortable, since she wouldn't be able to get all of this. Glancing at her schedule again, she noticed that she had English next, thankfully she had one class she wouldn't have any trouble with. Then she had trig, and gym. 'Wow, this is gonna be a fun filled morning' she thought sarcastically. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, the bell rang, and she bolted for the door, and her next class, she didn't want to be late again, and she was sure she would have just as much trouble finding the next room as she did the last class.
Before long she found herself sitting in trig, much to her dismay. Not only was she having trouble understanding the teacher, who was talking in very rapid Japanese, but now she was confused with all the math. She hated math! She glanced to her right again, unable to get used to seeing someone with blue hair. The blue haired boy glanced at her and smiled before going back to his work. He seemed to understand all of this without any problems. Finally the bell rang, signaling the end of class, and she was off to gym.
It was lunchtime before she knew it, and she was excited that the day was finally half over. She couldn't wait, she was supposed to start at a new dojo today after school, and she was really looking forward to it. She was kind of nervous, seeing as this was Japan, and they were stricter with training here then in America, but she had very good, and strict instructors. Sitting down by a tree, Avatre pulled out her sketchpad, and began working on a drawing she had started this morning before school. It was a drawing of some kind of armor she had dreamt of a lot lately. She just had to put the finishing touches on it, and then she would be done. She had been dreaming of a lot of armors lately, and she had no idea why, she hadn't seen anything like these before, and they were Japanese/samurai style armors, unlike the medieval style ones she was used to seeing at her home in America.
Finishing up her lunch, she gathered her sketchpad in her arms and began heading to her next class, when she was knocked down for the second time that day. Her bag was flung off her shoulder, and her sketchpad went flying out of her hands, scattering around her drawings. Jumping up quickly, she scrambled to grab her drawings before they blew away. Glancing up she noticed that she had run into the blond haired boy from her anatomy class. "Sorry." She mumbled. "It's alright, I'm sorry to, I should have been paying better attention." He replied, "Here, let me help you." He said quietly as he picked up a couple of her drawings from the ground near him. "No thanks, I'll be fine." Avatre started to say, but cut herself off as she turned around, and saw he was looking at the drawings he had picked up. She noticed his face seemed pale, even more then it had been this morning, and one blond eyebrow was raised, as if surprised. This only seemed to last for a second, before he seemed to get control of himself. It was so quick, that Avatre thought she had merely imagined it happening. "Um, sorry about that again, and thanks for the help, I should get going before I'm late for class." Avatre quickly replied as she grabbed her drawings from him, bolting off to class before he had a chance to harass her about them.
It was lunch, and Sage was sitting with the guys at their usual spot outside, thinking about the new girl he had seen in class that morning. He had been shocked to see an aura around her. He only ever saw auras around the guys; he had to focus to see them around anyone else. It made no sense, and hers had been very powerful, it was a deep purple, and it was as large as any of the ronin's auras. Lost in thought, he found himself looking at her as she sat eating her lunch by herself.
"Hey guys, I think we need to talk about something, I've been having a strange feeling all day, and I think it has something to do with that new girl." Ryo said, pulling Sage's attention back to his friends.
"Like what?" Kento mumbled out around his lunch.
"Kento, could you not eat with your mouth full?" Cye asked, annoyance clear in his voice.
"Like this morning when I bumped into her in the hall, I was helping her get up, and when she grabbed my hand, it felt like I was suddenly in a storm, I felt wind whipping around me, and there was lightning and thunder, and when she let go of my hand, and ran off, it was gone." The black haired boy replied.
"Yeah I noticed something about her too." Sage started, "She has an aura around her."
"So hows that different then anyone else?"
"Well Kento, I only usually see auras around people when I'm trying to, the only ones that have auras that I can without trying to are you guys, and the other strange thing is that her aura is just as strong as all of yours are." Sage explained.
"So what do you think it means? Could she be with the Dynasty or something?" Rowen asked the others.
"I don't know, I don't get bad vibes off of her, but she definitely seems like she could be trouble. She could be from the Dynasty, I mean, we don't know who we're up against this time." Sage spoke up.
"Well right now all we can do is keep an eye on her, and watch out for anything funny. Be sure to watch yourselves when your around her too, ok guys." Ryo said. Looking around at everyone, he nodded once and then finished his lunch, the conversation obviously over, and none too soon, as the bell rang shortly after that.
Walking off to class, Sage was surprised when someone bumped into him. Looking down he noticed it was the new girl. Her stuff went flying as she landed hard on the ground. "Sorry" She mumbled. Noticing there were some papers on the ground by him, he picked them up, intending to help her out, and was surprised to see that he was looking at a drawing of Ryo's armor. Still slightly shocked, Sage was surprised to find the drawings grabbed out of his hands, and hear a hasty thanks as the girl ran into the school. Shaking his head slightly, Sage started heading back into the school, deciding that he would have to tell the guys about this after school.
Ryo ran out of his last class of the day, anxious to get the others and head to Sage's family dojo, he had a feeling something was going to be happening really soon, and he wanted them to get all the training they could, but that meant getting to the dojo quickly so that Sage could get his kendo training done.
Arriving at their usual meeting place, Ryo wasn't surprised to see everyone already there. What did surprise him was the serious look on their faces. "Hey what's going on guys?"
"I found out something after lunch today, and I need to talk to everyone about it, I already told them, but since you were running late, I'll tell you on the way to the dojo, I can't be late today, grandpa want's me to teach class today." Sage replied, as he started heading off. Ryo quietly followed, waiting as patiently as he could, which wasn't very long, before he finally voiced the question he was dying to ask. "So what's this big news?"
"Well after lunch that new girl bumped into me, she had a bunch of stuff in her arms and had of course lost it when she fell. Well when I helped her pick up some papers, I noticed that she had a drawing of your armor. I was so shocked I didn't get a chance to find out anything else before she grabbed them from my hands and tore into the school." He answered. "So this girl has an aura, gives off funky vibes, seems to control the weather, and knows about our armor." Ryo summarized, "What's going on here?"
"I dunno, but we really need to keep an eye on her, I think you were right at lunch, something's going to happen, and I think she's somehow involved in all this." Sage replied. "Lets tell Mia about this when we get home, maybe she can help us out, plus hopefully she will have more information about that dream you had." Rowen replied.
"Yeah lets do that." Ryo replied as they walked into the dojo. "Well I'll see you guys after class, grandpa and dad want me to work with a new student today, and assess her level, I guess she has received previous training. Any of you guys want to help out?" Sage asked. "Sure I can." Ryo replied. "Thanks."
"No problem, hey guys, I'm gonna get ready to help Sage, go ahead and get started with training, we'll join you in a bit." Ryo told the others, before heading into the changing room to put on his Gi.
