--------------------------------
I layed back on the bed, toying the hat I got in Australia. There was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" I called. If I knew who it was, I would have said otherwise, because at that moment, Espa and some guy with white hair entered my room.
"ESPA!" I growled, pulling out my wand.
"I'm not here to pick a fight," he said, "There's something I've got to show you."
"Forget it!" I growled. The white haired kid smiled.
"I'm afraid you don't have much choice," he said, snapping his fingers. Suddenly, we were standing in the hall.
"What's all this about!?" I growled, preparing to fight. Espa pointed to a window.
"Look down there." I walked over and looked down to see Crystal and Shade standing by the fountain.
"What the...?" I asked myself.

Take it away PL!

[ChobiChibi]

Meeee? Okay...
~Crystal~
"No, you first..."
"No, you."
"Ladies first."
I sighed. Here i was, with the guy who i wanted to be with and i had to tell him... Fine... "Umm... Well... The thing is... I really like you... I know, you're my best friend but... It's more than that..." I smiled a little.
He smiled back. Just then, for that second, i could tell he wanted me just as much as i wanted him. I don't know if that was Recardo's influence rubbing off or something but i could tell.
He leaned over and kissed me gently. He just stood and hugged me afterwards, saying nothing, just holding me.
Something caught my eye at one of the windows. Ryu was stood at the window with a shocked expression. I watched a tear slide down his face. I had eye contact with him, he turned away and disappeared.
"Ryu... He saw... He watched from the window..." I whispered, my eyes watering. I was happy that i was with Shade but sad that i lost Ryu. "I wish i had said something..."
Shade hugged me tighter, telling me it would be ok. I looked back to the window. Espa and some other kid were stood there, Espa grinning evily at me. I hate him.
"Remind me to cause a lot of pain to Espa when i next see him..."
What a nice thing to write in your english lesson when you're meant to be writing articles ^^;

*The day after C&S got together*
"Dude, what are you gonna tell Cho?" I asked. Shade was just really confused at the time. "You have to say something, since you can't get laid by both." I continued. Shade gave me a look that said, "I know." I just nodded as I said, "Well, I have to go find Larry, who is right now looking at Kazeko's ladyberries! Ladyberries man!" I stormed off, while Shade just looked confused.

Tombo
--------------
I saw Nayia throwing rocks at a practice dummy with Recardo's face on it. "What's up?" I asked as I sat down. "Recardo say Kazeko's boobs." she explained. I just nodded as I said, "Don't feel bad. In relationships, the guy always sees some other girl's boobs before his girlfriends. Just look at the Paris Hilton sex video on the internet. That lucky SOB was engaged and still got his magic stick sucked on!" Nayia smiled as she quickly yanked up her shirt, showing me her (giant) breast. "Nice." I said but before I could say anything else, Nayia dragged me into her closet!

Lots of sex and boobs in this one. I'm not posting Nayia today, maybe later.

~Crystal~
Not good... Not good at all...
First lesson back: Japanese. Our teacher has a seating plan for our class... Since the first year i've been sat with Ryu... He wouldn't even talk to me in a different language! I could understand. I mean, i'd be mad at myself if i'd just snogged my best friend infront of myself. Did that even make sence?
After the lesson, Ryu stormed out by himself, not giving me a chance to say anything. I had so much i needed to say...
I went back upto my room and dumped my stuff on my bed.
"What happened?"
"I had to put up with the silent treatment all lesson. People asking why he wasn't talking to me. Stuff like that..." I sighed and sat down next to Shade. "You told Cho yet?"
"Does Zero count?"
"No!"

Me= lazy...

[Mystic_clown]

Espa
-------------------------------------
“I’m sorry you had to see that Ryu,� I said as Ryu walked past. To be honest, after Ryu broke down and cried after he found out about Crystal, Kane and I had been feeling a bit guilty about it.
“We just wanted to show you what kind of person Crystal really is,� Kane said.
“Yeah,� Ryu replied, “I know.� He then suddenly spun around and punched the wall.
“But why!?� He cried, tears forming in his eyes, “I ever did anything to hurt her. WHY!?� Kane walked up to him and patted him on the back.
“Listen,� he said, “We’ll head back to Espa’s tower and we can then think of a plan to revenge on them both.� Ryu wiped the tears away.
“Yes,� he said, “revenge.� A faint smile spread on my face as I teleported us to my tower.

[ChobiChibi]

~Crystal~
"You've got to tell her soon... Or i will... I think she'd rather hear it from you than me..." I muttered.
"That's true..."
"Look, i'll see you later... I've got something to sort out..." I kissed him before leaving the room.
This was what i wanted, right?
I had to talk to Ryu. I just had to say it wasn't anything he did. He did everything right... It was me who was wrong...
I went upto his dorm and knocked on the door. No reply. I tried again. Nothing.
"Ryu, i know you're in there." I called. Still nothing.
I pushed the door open. I was wrong again, he wasn't there. I grabbed a pen and some paper and began scribbling what i wanted to have said face to face.
I had almost finished writing when an idea hit me. I knew exactly where he was. The tower. Espa's tower. If i know Espa as well as i think i do, then he'll be plotting revenge. Most likely with Ryu. What have i done?
I was about to run up to the tower when i thought of a quicker way. I teleported up there. I landed right between the 3 of them having a nice little chat.
I had no plan of action but one thing came to mind. I slapped Espa. "I hate you SO much right now."
Ryu said nothing. He glared. The other guy, dunno his name, went to grab me or something. I showed him what a niiice lightning bolt from my wand was like.
"I'm sorry, Ryu... It was me, not you. You've done nothing wrong. I-"
I got hit in the back of the head by something and passed out.

[Mystic_clown]

Ryu
----------------------------
I looked down at Crystal as she slumped, unconciously to the floor. Espa panted as he dropped the plank of wood on the ground.
"Who'd have thought that a piece of wood would be so heavy?" he panted. Kane was rubbing his hand.
"That bolt really hurt," he snarled, "I could just..."
"Hold on," I said, stopping him from doing anything.
"What do you think we should do with her?" Espa asked, a wicked smile spreading on his face.
"Kane," I said, "You said before that you were a necromancer right?" He nodded. Now it was my turn to smile.
"Well, I believe that there are a few friends of yours who would like to meet you." Kane smiled.
"There's a graveyard a few blocks away. Let's have some fun."

[Yukitsukai]

I hate the end of the year... ~_~

"Oiii.... Why am I so tired....?" I mumbled, sitting on the edge of my bed. Tsuki must've sensed my ickyness (OOC: Is that even a word?) because she jumped up in my lap. I pet her for a while. After a few minutes, I moved Tsuki, pulled on my shoes, and went for a quick walk.

As I passed by one of the windows, I noticed something that made everything that had happened in my years at Seiruun seem like nothing. I immediately kicked through the window and flew outside.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" I screamed at Shade, interrupting his kiss with Crystal.

"Th-this isn't what it looks like..." he stuttered, turning beet red.

"I'm not stupid, Shade! Of course this is what it looks like!" I yelled.

"But Cho..."

"But nothing, Shade! You're basically throwing everything we had out the window. Everything that happened since I came here meant nothing to you. I meant nothing to you. The fact I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you... meant... nothing..." I said, yelling towards the beginning, but bursting into tears a few short moments later.

"Cho, I love you, I always will..." He said quietly, reaching over to hug me.

I cast a fireball on him. "I don't believe you!" I screamed, slapping him hard across the face before flying back to my dorm, flopping down on my bed, and sobbing like there was no tomorrow.

~*~
The next morning...
~*~
"Beep...beep...beep...bee-" I reached over, turned off my alarm clock, rolled over, and climbed out of bed. My eyes were way too red and too sore to really go anywhere... I grabbed the phone and called the main office to tell them I wouldn't be in today, noticing that my voice was still quite shaky. I glanced over at my dresser, which held a framed picture of me and Shade standing together, looking as happy as could be. I walked over to my dresser, grabbed the picture, and cast a fireball on it, causing it to burn to a tiny pile of ashes in my hand.

"I can't believe he'd do something like that to me..." I said quietly to myself, sitting at the foot of my bed. "Everything we went through... Everything we did... It meant nothing... Why...?" I choked out, my eyes beginning to water again. I curled up in a tiny ball under my blanket and fell back asleep. The world could wait for a while, I needed some time alone...

[Gothic Animé]

---Hazuki---

I was awoken by some beeping across the room. It was Cho's alarm clock. I heard her get on the phone, but I couldn't hear what she was saying. I was still half asleep. Oh God, I was tired. I went back to sleep.

*Some time later*

I felt an open window. The breeze felt good. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes. 9:00, the clock said. Oh crap! I was supposed to be at my first class in 10 minutes!

I rushed to get ready and ran out the door. I said bye to Cho (Sakura was gone). She mumbled something like "mmphrrg" and I figured it was "see you later."

*after first class*

First class was over. I went back to the dorm. Cho was there, but she was up studying. I walked over. "Hey, Cho." I said. "You look really....groggy."

"Bad night." she said. Hm, so was mine. Sitting across from Cho, I felt really good. I mean, she was my friend, but today it felt really good. I just sat and watched her study. Suddenly she looked up.

"Did you want to talk about something?" she asked.

"Uhh, no I'm okay." I said. I got up and went back to my bed to study.

(;o)

[ChobiChibi]

Time to get Naiya out of that closet...
-Recardo-
After a long morning of classes i headed up to my room to check on Naiya, as she didn't turn up for any of the lessons. She hadn't talked to me since yesterday. What had I done wrong?
I opened my door. Oh, so this is where she'd been. She was in MY bed with Tombo all over her like... like a little kid clinging to his mother.
"Oh, so I'm not good enough for you, Naiya. So you go for the next best thing, eh? No life in me?"
She stared at me, horrified at my sudden rage. Only a few people had seen me as upset and angry at the same time. I grabbed my bag, which i hadn't unpacked yet, and stormed out the room, slamming the door behind me.
I wanted to storm off somewhere away from everybody but i found myself right next door. Good old Zero, Crystal and Shade; they always left their door unlocked.
"Mind if i stay here for a bit?" I asked Shade, trying to hold back tears. Shade nodded, i dumped my bag on Crystal's bed and sat down, holding my head in my hands.

[Reborned-Dragon]

Zero
---------------
I could see tears coming from Recardo's eyes. "Let me guess Riccy-boy. Tombo was banging up your girl real nice on your bed?" Recardo nodded. "You broke up with her and now she's still probably sucking Tombo's magic stick?" Recardo nodded again. "Damn! This has Nayia/Tombo sex tape written all over it. I'm out!" I said as I got my video camera and ran off.

Tombo
---------------
Nayia was still sucking my stick, probably trying to suck away her sorrows and I can't blame her. I've caused break-ups before. I just stroked her hair back and thanked god Aurora wasn't around to see this.

Nayia
--------------
Tombo stroked my hair as I continued to suck his beef jerky stick. I stopped as I said, "I can't believe I let you do me." Tombo gave me a look, "No my slutty little friend, you did me." He then gave me a smile and said, "Well, I'm still horny." I smiled even bigger and we started doing it again but I had the strangest feeling we were being watched.

[Yukitsukai]

Enough sex scenes?

After I finally decided to crawl out of my little hole of depression, I decided now would be a good time to study, considering I hadn't done much magic lately. I pulled out a spell book, opened it, and began reading, practicing spells every so often. A while later, Hazuki walked into the dorm and over to where I sat.

"Hey, Cho." he said. "You look really....groggy."

"Bad night." I said simply, pushing some stuff out of the way, giving him room to sit down.

"Bad? How so?" he asked, sitting down across from me.

"I caught Shade kissing Crystal outside..." I whispered, not really wanting to say it in fear of bursting into tears again.

He gave me a sympathetic look. “I’m so sorry, Cho...” he said quietly.

“It’s alright, Hazuki... I’m used to losing the people I love...” I replied, which was obviously a bad idea, because within a few minutes, tears were forming in my eyes. I got up and ran out into the hallway, flopping down against the wall, burying my face in my hands, and beginning to cry uncontrollably. “Why, Shade...?” I whispered to no one, “Why? You meant everything to me... I never wanted to lose you....” Within a few moments, Asa had appeared in front of me.

“Hey Cho.... I heard about what Shade did...” she said.

“But it’s not fair!” I screamed to the ghost, tears continuing to pour down my face. “He meant everything to me... I loved him with all my heart... More importantly, what about Midnight?”

“Midnight?” Asa said, obviously puzzled.

“Oh yeah.... You died just before she was born, I forgot...” I replied, remembering my daughter, who was back home with the maids.

Asa gave me a death stare. “You mean you’re 17 years old and you have a kid?”

I nodded, sort of ashamed about it. Sure, I love her to death, but she’s still Shade’s kid too, and he never even met her...

“I gotta go, Cho. I’ll talk to you later...” Asa said, beginning to fade.

“Bye sis, I love you...” I replied, attempting to smile through my tears.

Within about 10 minutes, I had found my way back into my dorm and walked over to the window. I opened it and began climbing out.

“Wait!” Hazuki said, “Where are you going?”

“Back home for a little while. There’s someone I’d like you to meet...” I responded with a slight smile, hopping out of the window and flying towards home.

[Mystic_clown]

Espa
------------------------
We sat around the graveyard, waiting for Crystal to wake up. She was laying in the middle of the path, Kane was standing a few metres away, his necromancer's scythe in his hand. Ryu was perched on a memorial, glaring at Crystal with contempt, and I was sitting on a tombstone. I thought Id read some people's minds while we were waiting. I chose Shade.
It seems that Larry's returned from the dead. I must get in contact with him later. And Nyria's cheating on Recardo? This is perfect! Every one of my enemies' lives are being ruined, Larry's back and Ryu's on our side. And I didn't have to do squat! My dream has come true!!
I wanted to scream Hallelujiah at the top of my lungs, but decided to keep quiet.
"She's waking up!" Kane said.

[Reborned-Dragon]

Yukit: You can never have too many sex scenes, I mean look at Paris Hilton. She got banged up for 45 minutes and no one ever complained.

Zero
-------------
I got all the footage I needed as I walked away with a grin. A half hour of love making. Eat you heart out Paris Hilton! I headed to the courtyard to see Ryu, Espa and some weird dude stalking Crystal. "Ryu! What are you doing with these jackasses?" Ryu didn't say a thing as he hurled a fireball my way but missed as I headed over, only to fall unconcious and hear a voice say, "I have Kaze-Cakes..." Damn Larry.....

*Zero's unconcious in the courtyard*

[Gothic Animé]

---hazuki---
'wait!' i said. 'where are you going?'
"back home for a little while. there's someone i'd like you to meet..." replied cho. so she hopped out the window and flew off. i decided to follow her. i wonder who she wanted me to meet? ah well. it would be cool to fly with cho. i got my broom, mounted, and took off out the window after her...

(sorry, i know it's really short. ^^; but i couldn't think of anything.)

[Mystic_clown]

Uh Zero, Ryu, Espa, Kane and Crystal are in a graveyard, not the courtyard.

Ryu
-----------------------------------
I looked over at Zero, who was now unconcious.
"What should we do to him?" Espa asked.
"Ignore him," I replied, "He wont be interfering."
"Ryu," said Crystal weakly. I glared at her.
"Kane," I said, "Show Crystal who I feel, necromancer style!" Kane lifted his arms into the air and skeletons began rising from their graves. I turned and began to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Espa asked.
"I've got something to do," I replied, "I'll be right back." I teleported in front of shade's room and using my magic, conjured up a letter (in Espa's handwriting of course) and slid it under the door.
This will bring him running to us.
I teleported back to the graveyard. The skeletons were already surrounding Crystal.
"Where were you?" Kane asked, "It's almost time to start the show."
"Just tying up some loose ends."
Now. All I have to do is wait.

[ChobiChibi]

Sorry i didn't reply sooner, i was in France ^^;
~Crystal~
I watched the skeletons get closer and closer. I stood up slowly, I wasn't going without a fight. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wand. It was the only thing they forgot about.
The skeletons stopped, watching the tip of my wand carefully.
"Move one step closer and i'll send you right back where you came from." I yelled, gripping my wand tighter.
One stepped forward, i was about to give him a permanent home in his coffin when i realised who it was.
"Recardo? But... You're al-"
One of the skeletons from behind kicked my back causing me to stumble. I turned and gave him a fireball to play with. I watched in horror as it just absorbed it. Black magic wasn't my strong point but that should have worked.
The Recardo skeleton approached me. I couldn't attack it, i didn't want to. It held out a sword, placed it in my hand and crumbled into ashes. The sword glowed blue as i held it. I stabbed the skeleton that had kicked me. It turned to ashes instantly.
"What? That wasn't supposed to happen!" Yelled Kane, looking at the others.
"I like this sword. It's hack 'n slash time, my style. Lord of the Rings style got old." I said before taking the heads off atleast three of the skeletons.
I took a quick look around before the skeletons decided to try and kill me. I noticed Zero laying on the ground surrounded by skeletons. He was just waking up.
"Zero! Watch out!" I yelled before being knocked over by one of the undead.
Kane, Espa and Ryu decided to join in with the "lets all kill Crystal" thing. Kane came at me with his scythe. I blocked his scythe with my sword before freezing his feet to the floor. Espa came towards me but got knocked over by Zero, who was attempting to walk backwards and kill the skeletons at the same time.
I had the strangest feeling that someone was behind me. I turned around, bring the sword down at the same time. I stopped in mid air as i saw who i was about to hit. Ryu had his wand to my throat. I made the mistake of dropping the sword, which disappeared.
"Go on then. Do it. Get rid of me forever and try and forget everything. You'll never forgive yourself. I'll never forgive myself. You gave me the best 3 years of my life and i ruined it. Part of me still loves you, and i always will." I said honestly.
He stood there, tears in his eyes and his wand still pointing at me.
"What are you waiting for, Ryu? KILL HER!" Yelled Espa and Kane.

Don't kill her, Ryu! Don't do it! ><

[Yukitsukai]

Choriko Yamika
~~~~~~~~~~
I flew effortlessly through the air, feeling the cool breeze flowing through my hair. Suddenly, from behind me, I heard a faint voice calling my name. I stopped mid-air and turned around.

"Hazuki! What're you doing here?!" I exclaimed.

"You said there was someone you wanted me to meet and I couldn't wait." he replied sheepishly, his cheeks beginning to turn red, "so I decided to follow you...."

I smiled at him. "You probably won't believe me, but I'm going back to my house to get my.... daughter..." I said quietly.

Hazuki flew back about 20 feet in shock. "D..d...daughter?! Cho, you're only 17!" he cried.

"I know, I know..." I sighed. "But I really loved Shade.... and he spent some time in my dorm last year.... One thing led to another.... and.... Yeah, now I have a daughter..."

Hazuki shook his head at me. “Cho, Cho, Cho.... What are we gonna do with you?”

I glared at him. “I’m older than you, you dork!” I yelled, tackling him in mid-air.

He smiled up at me. “Getting a head start on your next kid, ne, Choriko?”

I quickly got off of him. “No!” I yelled, feeling the blood rush to my face. I gave a little sigh. “C’mon, we have to go if we want to make it there anytime soon...” I said, taking off again.

~*~ Later... ~*~

“Woah...” Hazuki said in amazement, looking up at my house, which make the school seem tiny. “This is your house?”

I gave him a blank look. “Of course it is, why would I take you to someone else’s house? Besides, what’s more amazing is that I’m alone when I’m here except for my maids, butlers, and my daughter...” I trailed off.

“But what about your parents? Don’t you have any brothers or sisters?” He asked.

“My dad died my first year, my mom died after my second year, and my sister died over the summer...” I replied quietly, not wanting to start crying again.

“Wow, Cho... I don’t think I’d be able to live if I lost my entire family within a span of 3 years...” he said sympathetically to me, giving me a light kiss on the cheek, which didn’t help the amount of blood in my cheeks. I quickly recomposed myself and said “Come on, I’ll let you meet all of my maids...” before Hazuki and I flew into the house.

~*~ Inside Cho’s House ~*~

“Well, hello, Miss Yamika...” one of my maids greeted me, giving a slight bow as I entered.

“Hello, Aiseki.” I replied, bowing to her as well.

Aiseki glanced over to Hazuki. “Well, who might this be?” she asked.

“Oh, this is my... friend, Hazuki.” I answered. “Where do you have Midnight?”

“She’s in your bedroom, Miss Yamika.” Aiseki responded, gesturing towards a large spiral staircase.

“Thanks, Aiseki! C’mon, Hazuki!” I said, grabbing his hand and dragging him up the stairs to my room.

~*~ Cho’s Room ~*~

When I finally arrived at my room, I realized it had been turned into a makeshift nursery, except my bed was still there. I ran over to the white crib that sat in the corner, covered with a lacy pink canopy.

“Hey Midnight!” I said quietly, picking her up out of the crib, cradling her in my arms, and walking over to Hazuki. “Hazuki, this is my daughter, Midnight Azura Yamika...” I said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~
Take it away, Hazuki!

[Gothic Animé]

---hazuki---
i looked at the baby in choriko's arms. it looked so much like her...still, though, it was hard to believe that she had a kid. i looked up at choriko. she was staring at the baby, and had tears in her eyes. i could tell how much she loved her.

'are you okay, cho?' i asked, feeling kind of awkward. my face still felt kind of hot. "it's just...so many things." she said. "seeing midnight again reminds me of shade, and all the memories i have of him...it makes me happy, and sad at the same time. i still can't believe he did this to me..." her voice trailed off, and she looked away. i didn't know what to say. but then she said, "would you like to hold her?"

"uh...sure, i guess so." i said. "but i've never held a baby before..." "just make sure you hold her head up," she said. i took the baby. for a second i was a little off balance, and i swayed a bit. cho looked like she was about to die. but i regained my balance, and walked over to cho's bed. i sat down, rocking the baby and looking up at cho. the maid walked in and asked cho if she needed anything. cho shook her head, and the maid went back out of the room and closed the door. this whole day was so amazing...

(good enough?)

[Firenze]

Firenze
I lay on my bed, grinning madly. Naiya had split up with Recardo! Yes!
In my current mood, I almost felt like I had made it happen - my magic had been so much stronger recently. I decided to go and find Recardo.

I walked through the empty corridors, thinking. It was wierd that everyone was falling out recently, I didn't have a clue why that was. Someone was always screaming at someone, or cursing them. Whenever I left my room, the yells almost deafened me.
But not now.
Come to think of it, there wasn't a sound in the school. It seemed completely empty.

I leaned against a wall, dizzy with panic. Where were they all? The skeletons from my dreams lurked in the back of my mind.

I sat down and waited for a sound... anything.

[Reborned-Dragon]

Zero
--------------
"AW, F*CK!" I yelled as Ryu held his wand to Crystal's throat. I would have done something but that worm Espa had his guard dog Kane hold be back while Espa hit some cheap shots. I really didn't feel anything but it was really annoying to have a worm half my size punch me. I simply grinned as I rammed my heel into Kane's groin, which caused him to release me so he could hold what was left of his manhood. I grinned evilly at Espa as he began to run but I grabbed the back of his collar and threw him down. I then started stomping a mudhole in his chest. I could hear Kane and some skeletons run toward me from behind but I blasted them away with a Spirit Gun. I kicked Espa in the nuts a few times and threw him into Ryu as I began stomping away at Ryu's face. Crystal surprisingly pulled me away but out of anger, I pushed her away and continued punishing Ryu and Espa. I snapped Ryu's wand and was about to blast him in his bloody face with a Spirit Gun but I suddenly fell over. I felt an extremely painful burning in my back as I saw Crystal's steaming wand aimed at my back. I collasped from the burning but I could hear the skeletons and Kane surrounding me.

Tombo
----------------
Nayia and I just finished doing the do when I saw Firenze heading into his room. I followed him to say hi but he seemed to be in shock. I just shrugged as I went to check on Nayia, but she wasn't there. I bet she went off to see Recardo. She really loved him and she threw that away just because Recardo saw Kazeko's boobs. I then decided to see Recardo to try and set things straight between him and Nayia. I saw him in Shade's dorm and I then asked to speak with Recardo alone. Shade left and I sat down near Recardo, who obviously didn't want anything to do with me or Nayia. "Listen dude, you have to forgive Nayia." I said. "Why should I!? You were having sex with her!"
He shot back. "She was angry with you dude. If you had never spied on Zero and Kazeko, you two would still be together. I checked on her since she was upset and then it happened!" I retorted. Recardo was quiet at the time and I then continued, "You seeing Kaz's boobs is just like you doing her to Nayia, it's all the same and it upsets her because she loves you, alot. I just wish I could know what it's like to be loved that much. You think about it and then you go talk with Nayia. My work is done." I teleported off as Recardo still remained silent.

I'll post Nayia after she gets her response from Recardo.

[ChobiChibi]

Firenze is a girl, RD. I should know, she's sat right next to me right now
~Crystal~
"The only things that die today are the skeletons and they're partly dead already." I told Zero, giving what i thought was a good reason for hurting him.
Espa sent some kind of spell at me. I blocked it and sent a binding spell at him so he would cause no harm. He struggled as a tree held him in place.
I watched Kane and some skeletons as they began to stomp, kick and generally beat up Zero. I grabbed Kane with the same binding spell as i had used on Espa and laughed as he too was bound to the tree.
"This is so not funny!" Espa yelled at me.
"You'll pay for this!" Kane yelled as he tried to break free.
I grabbed Kane's scyth that he had left lying around. "How do i use this thing?"
Kane said nothing. I grinned. I now had a chance to test out that truth spell.
Wait, no need to. The skeletons stopped and turned to me. "I guess the one who has this thing controls them. Good good. Right you lot, get back to where you came from. Back to your coffins for you."
They wondered back slowly. I put one end of the scyth to the ground and kicked it, causing it to snap.
Sorry, i'll post Recardo later. Lesson time ><

[Reborned-Dragon]

PL: Oh cause if Firenze was happy about Recardo & Nayia breaking up (for now I guess), I thought she was a homo.

[Mystic_clown]

Ryu
--------------------------
I looked up at Crystal. I couldn't believe she saved me. And after all I did for her. I had a black eye, my nose was bleeding and my face was covered in bruises.
"You saved me," I said slowly. Crystal knelt down beside me and hugged me.
"I'm so sorry," she said, tears were running down her face, "can you ever forgive me?" Tears formed in my eyes.
"I should ask you the same thing," I replied.
"Alright then," she said, "I'll forgive you if you forgive me."
"Agreed." I looked over at Kane and Espa.
"What about them?" Crystal asked.
"Leave them," I replied.
"And Zero?" I rubbed my eye.
"Leave him too. He really hurt me." Crystal giggled.
"Do you want me to kiss it and make it better?" she joked. I laughed, only to grabbed my sides and groan in pain.
"Are you okay?" Crystal asked. I smile.
"Of course," I replied, "It only hurts when I breath."

Uh...does this mean that Crystal and Ryu are back together?

You people post so freaking fast ^^

Anyway, since this is the last year I though we'd say what we think about the cast, what you liked what you didn't like, stuff like that.

Cast Review Form:

First thoughts: When you first saw the character, what was your impression?
If you knew: What do you think it would be like if the car was one of your friends?
Likes: What do you like about the character?
Dislikes: What do you not like about the character?
Deadly Sin: What Deadly Sin defines the character best?

The next person that posts states what they think and then states a new character for the next person to define.

Next character: Larry Dumbelfork


Shade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slowly stepped out of my own dorm, deliberately leaving a crack open so I could....
Boy, that was weird. It almost seemed like.....
but that hadn't happened in....
Yes, she was in trouble. My ears perked up a bit, as if waiting to hear a loud scream. All I heard was the crinkling of some sort of paper I had stepped on. In a flash I had disappeared, leaving only the ripped paper under my foot.
************************************************** ******
I landed at the stump of a twisted old tree, ready for any kind of principality or power. I quickly searched the...graveyard, but I didn't have to do too much searching. I heard a loud grunt, some thrusts, (of a sword you perv. XD) and a loud wisp. The area around me seemed to be the average "we meet bad guys, we kick their asses" scene. Espa, some white haired boy who couldn't have been much older then Recardo, and Larry stood tied to a tree, while Zero was sprawled unceremoniously on the ground. All of them were unconscious. Ryu and Crystal were hugging tightly, kissing now and again. It seemed a large lump had entered my throat and a knife had entered my chest.
"Nice..." I said, partly to myself but loud enough for them to hear. "You guys knocked out all of them by yourselves?" I questioned casually, acting as if nothing was happening; as if they weren't embracing. The both stood silent...staring at me through the unforgiving night.
"I would have left them as burnt bodies, but your way is good too..." I forced myself to give a grin, something not easy in itself, even less so when you're on the verge of tears.
"I guess I better get this one home." With that, I flung Zero on my back, and returned to the tower. The Seiruun Dragon Tower. Where I had kept Lupus.

[ChobiChibi]

~Cyrstal~
"I'm such a dumbass..." I muttered, helping Ryu up and beginning to walk. He winced in pain. Teleporting would be easier. So much easier. I teleported us to his room as I was very likely to run into Shade if i went back to my room. First i'd broken Ryu's heart, then i'd broken Shade's and mended Ryu's. Some great friend i was. Shade would hate me forever now.
No matter what he'd done to me in the past, i'd always forgiven him. It was our last year, i didn't want us to leave having been spiteful toward eachother.
This sucked. Badly.
Normally i'd have some stisfaction after beating the crap out of the bad guys. Not today... Although the fact that Recardo's skeleton gave me the sword puzzeled me.
Ryu could obviously see i was deep in thought. "What's going through your mind?"
"Everything... Everything at once... Everything is going too fast and i want it to slow down..."

-Recardo-
I was confused. Of course i wanted Naiya back, but after i'd yelled at her i didn't think i could not yell at her again. I knew what i had to do. I'd talk to her in the morning once i'd had time to calm down.
Something told me that something had happened that i didn't know about. I sighed and fell asleep on Crystal's bed.

First thoughts: A jerk. A complete and utter jerk. Head master's pet.
If you knew: Really, really weird. I'd probably yell at him a lot lol...
Likes: Umm... The fact that he always comes back.
Dislikes: Trying to steal Kazeko. That's mean. He should get his own girl!
Deadly Sin: Jealousy.
Next character: Tombo ^^

[Mystic_clown]

Espa
-------------------------------------
Kane and me had finally escaped from Crystal’s binding spell. I was leaning against a memorial while Kane was mourning over his broken. He kept saying things like, ‘I’ll get them for this’ and ‘my poor scythe’. I was just in a bad mood.
“Craw!” I looked over to see a raven sitting on a tombstone.
“Get lost you buzzard!” I growled, swinging at the bird. The raven flew over my head. That’s when I saw it. A gold talisman in its talons. It had a purple gem in the centre. I recognised it instantly.
It can’t be!
The gem gave off a dark light and a dark figure appeared before us.
“Master!” Kane and I said, kneeling down in front of him. We could tell it was just a projection, but we were still careful.
“It seems that you two failed to defeat them,” the master said. His voice sounding soothing, yet threatening.
“But master!” Kane said, “It wasn’t our fault!”
“Silence!” Kane backed off.
“I’ve given you two simple instructions. To find that crystal, and you two get beaten by a couple of sorcerers in training.”
“We won’t fail you again!” I said, “I promise.”
“You’d better not. Or I’ll send Jinzo down there to do it for me.” Kane and I winced. Jinzo was a very dangerous individual.
“We won’t fail you.” I repeated as the projection vanished. We got to our feet and looked at each other.
“Time to get to work.”

First thoughts: not a bad guy, but can be a but idiotic at times.
If you knew: not that bad, just keep your girls away from him.
Likes: uh...I really don't know
Dislikes: that he stole Recardo's girlfriend (you shouldn't steal your friend's grilfriend you prick!).
Deadly Sin: this could take a while.
Next Character: Pandora:

[Reborned-Dragon]

First Thoughts: Yu-Gi-Oh! ripoff
If You Knew: Probably have him do magic tricks
Likes: Don't Know
Dislikes: Nothing really
Deadly Sin: Being a Yu-Gi-Oh! ripoff
Next Character: Zero

Zero
---------------
I woke up in the tower on the floor. I saw Kane and Espa being scolded by some dude they called Master and a weirdo named Jinzo outside the window. I then remembered about Kazeko, who had been taken away by Larry after sex! I teleported away from the area to a strange little house a few miles away from the school. I could sense Larry, who had easily increased in magical mightyness (I think that's a word). I entered the house to see him making out with Kazeko, who was obviously drunk or put under a spell. "Larry Jackass, we meet again." I said with a grin. He stopped kissing Kaz when he heard my voice. "Oh hello Zero. Just making out with MY girlfriend." he said. "You used a spell on her didn't you?" I asked plainly, not wanting to take any of his crap. He nodded as he pulled out a pistol and aimed at Kazeko's head. "Do what I want or she's history" he threatened. "You assclown, you always have to ruin my day." I said as I easily threw the gun away with my mind and shot a spell at his nuts with a grin. "You now have a vaginus." I said with a hick-like accent. He looked down in horror to see his twin's playpen gone! I shot him in the face with a Spirit Gun and teleported away with Kazeko. We got back to my dorm and as soon as we landed the trance seemed to end and Kazeko was back to normal. "To reward you for saving me, let's do it!" Kazeko urged. "Let's make a baby!" I screamed happily as I jumped on her.

Tombo
--------------------
Aurora came over and I told her about doing it with Nayia, twice. She understood since we weren't officialy dating, we just made out occasionally. "Recardo will forgive Nayia and you, Tom. I will to, after WE do it." Aurora smiled. I wanted to get laid for a third time but knew it wouldn't be right, yet. "You know I want to, but I just really tired. Let's do it tommorow." I suggested. Aurora nodded as she kissed me and teleported away. "Why couldn't I keep my big mouth shut?" I asked myself as I headed to the canteen.

I'll post Nayia once she gets her response.

Choriko Yamika
~~~~~~~~~~
After a while, I gave a little sigh, got up, and put Midnight back in her crib. I watched her sleep for a while before walking back over to my bed and sitting down next to Hazuki. ‘Should I tell him?’ I thought, ‘or would that ruin our friendship?’

Hazuki sensed something was bugging me. “What’s on your mind, Cho? Something seems to be bugging you...” he asked.

“Nothing...” I replied, my cheeks turning red again. I quickly changed the subject. “I wish I could take Midnight back to Seiruun with me...” I sighed.

“Well, why don’t you talk to the headmaster, he might let you...” Hazuki suggested.

“Or I can say that my house got destroyed and that I have no relatives for her to stay with...” I said.

“That’s a plan... But Cho, we have to get back to school... C’mon...” Hazuki replied.

“Yeah... I know... C’mon, I’ll teleport us back to Seiruun...” I said, casting a teleportation spell, transporting myself, Hazuki, Midnight, and all of Midnight’s stuff back to my dorm.

»hazuki«

cho had just transported myself, midnight, and her back to our dorm. i wondered what the headmaster would think of her having midnight stay...hopefully he would be okay with it.

there was something i wanted to tell cho, but i was wondering if she would feel the same way...i decided for once in my life not to be a chicken. 'hey um..cho? could i tell you something?' she put midnight in her crib and turned to me. 'sure, what is it?' i'm sure my cheeks had turned crimson by now. 'well you see...' my voice trailed off. i turned away, swallowed the lump in my throat, and attempted it again. 'you see, i sort of, well really actually, like you a lot.' i said it all really fast. i put my head in my hands to cover my face. i was blushing so bad, i could feel it...

deadly sin: Err...
next character: Crystal (mooha XD)

-Recardo-
I woke up suddenly, getting the idea that Naiya had got off with someone again. No, she wouldn't... Would she?
I got up and tip toed across the room. I found that i didn't need to. Crystal wasn't back, Shade wasn't back and neither was Zero. Something had happened...
I went next door and found Naiya fast asleep. She looked so gorgeous there, fast asleep as she should be. I went over, kissed her on the cheek and left.
Now to find everybody.
It was pretty obvious where Zero would be. Looking for Kazeko. No, wait. He had found her. You could tell from the sounds from next door.
I shuddered at the thought. Right. Moving on...
I used a tracking spell to find Crystal. I landed outside Ryu's dorm. She had got back together with him. So Shade must be alone somewhere... Heart broken...
The tower. The dragon tower.
I teleported up there. I opened the door and was glomped by a George look a like. Lupus, Shade's dragon.
As for Shade himself, he was stood gazing at the stars. I was probably the last person he wanted to see. I was the one who got them together after all...
"Don't blame her, blame me..." I said, startling him

[Mystic_clown]

Ryu
--------------------------------------
I could see that Crystal was having problems. To be honest, a part of me was still a bit mad at Crystal, but most of my anger had subsided. I had to think of something to take our minds off of this.
“Hey Crystal,” I said, “do you remember our first date?” Crystal looked at me.
“Yeah,” she replied.
“Remember how Shade, Kalad and Sakura were spying on us, and then Pandora helped us get revenge?” Crystal then laughed.
“Of course I do. It always makes me laugh when I think about it. Now it was my turn to laugh. Crystal looked into my eyes.
“Thanks Ryu,” she said, “That really cheered me up.” I smiled.
“Anything for you,” I said, kissing her on the cheek.
“Hey Ryu. Where do you think Pandora is now?” Suddenly, there was a loud bang and there was a puff of smoke.
“Why, right here of course!” came a familiar voice.
“Pandora!?” Crystal and I cried in unison.

We all knew he was going to make an appearance sooner or later.

Review: Crystal
First thoughts: that's one fine girl!

“Hey um... Cho? Could I tell you something?” I heard Hazuki say.

“Sure, what is it?” I replied. I noticed his cheeks turn really red.

“Well, you see...” he trailed off, then turned away.

“What is it, Hazuki?” I asked.

“You see, I sort of, well really actually, like you a lot.” He said hurriedly, burying his head in his hands to hide his face.

I looked at him, kind of shocked. “Well... I like you too...” I said, blushing slightly, but still managing a slight smile. I walked over to him and gave him a light kiss on the cheek, causing him to turn an even brighter shade of red. “When I broke up with Shade, I was a total wreck... But you helped me out a lot...” I whispered into his ear, since I was already close to him. I sat down next to him and rested my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes slowly. Just then, Asa appeared in front of me.

“Cho! What the heck are you doing?!” she screamed telepathically at me.

“I told you I broke up with Shade! This is my new boyfriend, Hazuki!” I shot back.

She gave a frustrated sigh. “Fine, I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone...” she said, then disappeared.

Suddenly, a thought entered my mind. ‘Uh... no?’ I thought, shaking the thought out of my head. “I’m going down to the pool, wanna come with?” I asked, walking to the bathroom to change.

«hazuki»

> the dorm <

still blushing, i felt sure cho was going to reject me. but what she said next was the complete opposite of what i thought. "well...i like you too..." she said, and went and kissed me on the cheek. i turned even redder. she sat down next to me.

she asked if i wanted to go to the pool with her. 'sure, that would be great.' i replied, as she walked to the bathroom to get changed. i decided to just get changed over by my bed while she was in there. oh god, i hope she doesn't come out here...i thought to myself. but she didn't. of course, girls usually take longer to change anyway. so after i was done, i waited for her, and we went downstairs.

> the pool <

heading through the glass doors into the pool area, i set down my towel took my shirt off to get into the pool. i silently cursed myself for being so skinny, not well built like some of my friends. heading off for the deep end, i dove in, letting the cool water envelop my body. it felt so good. when i surfaced, my hair was completely covering my eyes. as i brushed it aside though, i felt water splash into my face, and shaking my head, i opened my eyes to see cho smiling back at me. i dove under, and tackled her legs. she went under screaming. i laughed, almost choking on the water. then, swimming away, i saw cho chasing me, smiling a devilish smile...

[Reborned-Dragon]

Zero
------------
Kazeko and I just finished so she went home after she got re-dressed. I wonder where everyone was. Ryu was probably making out with Crystal somewhere, Recardo was talking with Shade, Cho & Hazuki were at the pool so I decided to go there after getting dressed again. I saw Cho chasing Hazuki so I decided to interupt their little game. "CANNONBALL!" I yelled as I teleported over the pool and dropped, causing a huge wave to come up. Hazuki & Cho were shocked to see me and probably a bit angry or embarrased. "Did I interrupt you two lovebirds?" I asked with a grin. Cho got angry and began throwing water at me. "Don't be hatin'!" I said as I returned the favor. Hazuki joined in and we had a little water fight until I cracked Hazuki over the head with a frozen tuna and then revived him. He got angry but I just said Micheal Jackson did it and ran away, soaking wet.

Tombo
-------------
I ate, I slept, I had a dirty dream about me, Aurora and Nayia. Enough said.

[ChobiChibi]

~Crystal~
"Crystal, what did you do to Ryu?" Asked Pandora, looking a little shocked.
"It wasn't me! It was skeletons, Zero and... Well, mostly Zero." I admitted.
"So what are you doing here?" Asked Ryu, changing the subject away from what had happened a few hours before.
"Aren't I allowed to check up on my little cousin?" He said, ruffling Ryu's hair.
"I'm so glad i don't have older cousins or siblings to do that to me..." I said, laughing at Ryu's hair.
The room seemed to go cold and silence filled the air. I shivered, Ryu wrapped his arms around me. It went dark and the only thing visable was a ghostly outline of Recardo.
"You're alive, Recardo, stop doing this to me." I said, watching him carefully.
He held out the same sword that was given to me earlier. I took it from him, he bowed and disappeared with a smoke like effect, much like Pandora's.
"Please say i wasn't the only one who saw that..." I muttered as the room returned to it's normal temperature and the light returned.
"I saw it too..."
"And me..."
"What's going on, Crystal? Why did he come as a skeleton and now a ghost?" Asked Ryu.
"I have no idea... It doesn't make sense... He's alive... I bought him back... I don't understand..." Ryu held me closer and i hugged him back.
I gripped the sword in both hands. I was holding the blade without realising it and it dug into my palms, cutting them.
"Crystal, let go. You're cutting your hands." Said Pandora softly, as if i were a child. I let myself be a child while Pandora bandaged my hands and Ryu continued to hug me.
Yes, i'm twisting plots again... Although i have no idea what it's leading to ><
Review: Shade
First thoughts: Pranker. Big pranker.
If I knew: I'd probably yell at him for being so stupid lol...
Likes: that he's funny, always there for you and cheers people up.
Dislikes: That he acts really stupid when he's not really.
Deadly Sin: hmm...
Next Character: Recardo

Espa
---------------------------------------------
So, Pandora’s returned. This could be trouble!
“Let’s go Kane,” I said. Kane was sitting at the table, taping his scythe back together.
“Just a minute,” he replied. I was starting to get irritated.
“Forget about your scythe for a moment and let’s find that crystal!!” I yelled.
“I think the master can wait.”
“Do you want Jinzo to come down here!?” Kane went quiet.
“Let’s find that crystal.” We teleported to the courtyard.
“Now then,” I said, “Where to look first?”

Ryu
-------------------------------------
“Why did that ghost look like Recardo?” Crystal asked herself as Pandora bandaged her hand.
“Maybe it was an illusion created by Espa and Kane,” I said. To be honest, I doubted that Espa and Kane were able to conjure that, but who knows what those two are capable of.
“Maybe you’re right,” Crystal said, “after all, I did revive Recardo.”
“Are you sure?” Pandora said all of a sudden. Crystal and I stared at him.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“There’s a man I know who’s an expert in death,” Pandora explained, “I’ll introduce you to him sometime. Maybe he will know why that ghost appeared.” Pandora got to his feet and began to leave.
“Oh, one last thing.” Pandora knelt down beside me and placed his hand on my head. I began to glow a pale blue and when Pandora removed his hand, I was healed.
“I’ll go pay Juleon a visit,” Pandora said, “I’ll be back when I learn anything.” Pandora snapped his fingers and he was gone.

[Firenze]

Everyone was back and to be honest, I couldn't see what had caused me to get so worked up in the first place. I guess I was just tired. I always seemed tired at the moment.

Now that there were people around again I didn't really feel like being with anyone, so I wandered around the school. Yes, it was boring, but I really had nothing better to do. As I walked past someones door, I heard crying. I knew there were no babies in the school, but it sure did sound like one. I opened the door quietly and saw a baby in the cot, wailing loudly. I looked around, trying to work out who's room it was, but clearly they weren't here. Anyway, I should probably do something about the baby. I walked over to the cot and looked in.

I had gone through the whole of my first year stealing other people's magic, and I'd had practice at seeing how strong a persons magic was. I could feel a huge amount in the baby. I paused to try to imagine what it must be like to have that much magic, and reached out to touch the baby. It screamed even louder. I lifted it gently.
"I wish I was you." I said to it, and joggled it awkwardly. If anything, the crying got worse.

I wasn't sure what I ought to do. I knew nothing about looking after babies, and as I seemed to be making things worse I should probably go and find who it belonged to. But... somehow I didn't want to give it up. Holding it, I could feel it's magic, and although it didn't make it mine it was better than nothing. I stood up carefully and walked to the door to find a teacher.

~~~~~~~~~~
Just as I went to get back at Hazuki, I was stopped by a loud “CANNONBALL!” above me. Before I had a chance to look around and see who it was, they had hit the water, creating a huge wave. A few moments later, Zero popped out of the water, giving me his trademark stupid grin.

“Zero!” I yelled at him, splashing him in the face just like I had to Hazuki. We had a little water fight until a weird vibe hit me. “Hazuki! Somebody found out about Midnight! We have to go!” I yelled, flying out of the pool and to my dorm.

Once I had arrived, I ran over to the crib to find she wasn’t there. “NO!” I screamed, trying to sense her in my state of panic. I finally found her to be in the headmaster’s office. “Crap...” I muttered, throwing my clothes on over my bathing suit and taking off for the headmaster’s office.

I bust through the doors of the headmaster’s office, still trying to catch my breath. I noticed a strangely familiar face cradling Midnight.

“Miss Yamika, is this your daughter?” the headmaster asked, gesturing towards Midnight. I nodded slowly. “You know that this isn’t allowed, don’t you?” I nodded again. “Well, it means you’re going to have to take her home...”

The last 3 words hit me like a ton of bricks. “No!” I screamed, falling onto my knees in front of his desk. “I can’t! She means everything to me! Without her, I have nothing! Please sir, let her stay...” I trailed off, beginning to sob quietly.

He gave me a sympathetic look. “Well, I guess we can make one exception...”

“Thank you, sir!” I said happily, even though I was still choking on my words. I grabbed Midnight from the girl holding her and held her close to me. “I’d never let you go, Midnight... Never...” I whispered to her, the sound of her breathing quite calming.

As I was going down the maze of halls to my dorm, Hazuki finally caught up with me. “Cho! What happened in there?” he asked.

“Some other student found Midnight and took her down to the headmaster and I basically had to beg to let her stay, but he said yes...” I said quietly, partly looking at Midnight, partly looking at him, and partly looking at the floor. I kept walking this way until I finally got back to my dorm. I put Midnight back in her crib and sat down on the foot of my bed, giving a little sigh of boredom...
