[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro trudged down the sidewalk quietly, thinking, as was his want most of the time. But this time he was nothing thinking about elemental theory, or the creation of humanity, or his... "parents".

He was thinking about a pretty girl.

His hands jammed in his rough pockets, he wandered down the street, brooding, to the large apartment where he and his sister lived. Their "parents" were, of course, gone. And Tetsuru had broken off telepathic contact, and she only did that when she was mad at him or doing something secret -- neither of which happened often. So he was truly alone, and he didn't know what to do.

That girl, Lea... what a beauty... and that voice... that body...

Yoshiro blushed, but nobody could see.

Lee said that he would mention me...

The young giant shook his head, and then jerked up, glancing around. Hey, did Lee come this way too? Maybe he lives near me...

Yoshiro sighed, feeling sexual frustration engulf him. Normally the only girl he ever even thought about was his sister, Tetsuru, and he had never considered someone would match her beauty anyway. But that girl, Lea...

"SEA PEARL DRAGON!"

Clank! Clank clank clank!

A trashcan, smoking, clattered into the gutter, the trash inside melted to a liquid soup of burnt matter, as if attacked with waves of scalding water.

He felt a bit better.

Glancing around, he peered at the house whose trashcan he had just wrecked. It was big, and impressive. Whoever lived here was rather rich. They even had a swimming pool.

"......huh...."

Yoshiro leaned down, righted the trashcan, and kicked out the dents, ignoring the heat on his hands as he put it back by the side of the house. If nobody looked inside, they might not be able to tell the difference.

".....never done anything like that before......"

You're a good, good boy, Yoshiro-kun.

Yoshiro straightened... but it had not been his sister. He had merely imagined her telepathic voice. He was so used to it... since they were, after all...

He shook his head, grunting. Now was not the time for such things.

He tensed as he heard the "shhk" sound of a door opening. Was someone entering the pool? He stepped off to the side, hiding behind the fence, waiting to see if he could hear anything...

As his grandfather instruckted him, Eiji ran quickly down th street. "I... wonder.. how ... Cerbie.... got.... sick... any... way... Is it... something... ate? ... He... did... stay in that tower for almost all of his life! So he may used to rats insted of kibbles and bits!"

Eiji slowed down to catch his breath... "City park... This is the only way to the beach. Gramps said I can walk this part, so I don't run into people.

Lee Anno et Rikku

IC: Lea: I was studting myself in the mirror. I still wasn't shure about going out for any length of time like this. This just seemed wierd.

The pink fabick stuck tighly to my butt. The fabric curved the exact same way as the suface they were on. As for the pink top. The triangles seemed to cover the bottom and the front of my breasts but left an ample amount of cleavage. "This is the way that girl should dress. You know what I bet she does." I wrap my blue towel around me and walk outside.

I lay the towel on a chair. Take few steps into the pool. Ever sense I was a child I alway took the first stpes slow alowing my body to adjust to the tempature of the water. Most people dive right in and force there bodys to get used to the water fast. I would take my time.

"A few laps and then back inside."

IC: Rikku: I was in the park havein fallowed Eiji for quite a distance. I was trieing to hide myself the best I could but I had no chioce but to travel on foot from here on in. I looked to see no one was around. I moved in close to see what Eijis day had been like.

OOC:Edit: I forgot to put in Rikku

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji slowly walked through the park, Trying to catch his breath. He wasn't too worryed About Cerbie any more, Cerbie must have ate some thing he wasn't used to. "We should have gone to the vet first... But He freaked as soon we sudgested it!"

He stopped near the water foutain to take as short breather, he looked around and saw there were way too many couples in the area "Must have found the hot spot fr couples..."

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro heard a soft splash and raised an eyebrow. It's just somebody swimming... I've never talked to my neighbors before. I wonder who it is?

He turned, stood straighter, and without much difficulty, peering over the fence...

Now Yoshiro is a strong young man, with a very hardy constitution, and has never been wounded severely in his life. Normally, for every drop of blood he sheds, his enemies pay a thousand.

But right then and there, he almost had a nosebleed.

It's... LEA!

He stared, eyes almost popping out from beneath his bush of reddish hair, as he watched Lea's toned yet very, very feminine body slip into the water.

Oh, G-Gods...

Without even realizing it, his hand had moved onto the gate latch. He blinked, turned, and saw that he was instinctively opening the door. His mind began screaming at him--she can't understand you! You'll ruin her once she finds out who you are! Her brother will probably fight to protect her!

But his body and instinct knew what he wanted. And they were braver than his mind. The autopilot that went on when he fought activated.

He opened the gate, and stepped in, stealthy as a giant panther.

Until he spoke.

"L-Lea?"

Lee Anno

IC: I had a suspsion I was being watched. I took a quick glance around. No one was there. Your minds playing tricks on you. Probably from stress.

I took the last step down and began to swim. I finished half a lap when I herd. 'Lea.' I turned around and stood up. My breast bounceing as I got up. I felt them do that and droped baxk to my neck in the water.

It was Yoshiro. Damn now he's going to be more obessed after that bounce. I stared at him. "What are you doing here?"

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro flushed and immediately plunged his hands into his pockets and leaned over as a source of coping with his embarassment. He was trespassing. This hadn't been a good idea. But he couldn't just run away now! He couldn't look embarassed! So he leaned down and had his hair cover his eyes in a feeble attempt to look bishonen, though he knew his fear echoed in his voice.

"I-I live across the street," he muttered, only barely loud enough for her to hear. "With my sister. I was... walking home. Um."

He slouched there for a few moments, saying nothing.

".....you're pretty."

 

[hybirdx]

(Eiji)

"Better get going..." Eiji got up and began to jog, His frantic attitude became calm as usual. "Ok, I'm almost out of the park now..."

Eiji slowed down and stopped, "Is that... Tetsuru?" Eiji felt like getting the hell out of there, he did kinda acted like an jerk to Tetsuru earlyer, but thats his attitude torwards most people. 'Maybe if I walk slowly... I can get out with out her noticing...'

*Crunch!*

'Damn twigs!'

 

[cats]

Lee Anno

OOC: I deleted Rikku involvement sense Hy posted first.

IC: Lea: 'Your pretty.' "My brother ran that by me. So um guess you'll be going now." I see my mother walk out damn what is she going to say. She looks at me and then at Yoshiro. 'Well and her I thought she'd never get a date.' "Mom!" Damn it dose she take pride in screwing me over?

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru sighed and leaned back on the steps. She unbuttoned another button on her white shirt, unleashing a bit more cleavage on an unsuspecting world. She kicked off her high-heeled sandals and rested her small, cute feet up on a cinder block, and smiled, her red braids dangling around her face as she relaxed. Life was feeling a bit better. Maybe Yoshiro would have cooked dinner by the time she returned.

She giggled, doing unspeakable things to her anatomy. Poor Yoshiro-kun is so whipped... but he's a sweetheart. I wonder if that Lea girl will be able to understand that before she gets scared away. Do I make him insecure...? But he's always been that way... ever since I...

She sighed and shook her head, letting the sun relax her again. No reason to think about the far gone past. Best to think about happy things, and cute boys... cute, strong-and-silent boys, like...

She started up and stared, falling back on her pert posterior as she leaned up.

"...Eiji!? Hey! Eiji!"

<--->

"So, um, guess you'll be going now."

Yoshiro flushed. What a dismissal! She had shamed him... why, he ought to...

Then, of course, her mother came. Perfect timing. Now he'd be arrested. A big, hulking boy with a dangerous glint in his eyes near a bikini-glad, intensely attractive girl in a pool. He looked up almost challengingly, his handsome features revealed.

"Well, and here I thought you'd never get a date."

Yoshiro did a double-take and almost choked and died on the spot.

A DATE? With HER? Was he even WORTHY?

Yoshiro attempted to speak, his deep voice resounding. "Umm..." He struggled to form a sentence with his dry mouth. "I... yes... I would like to..."

His hands jammed even further into his pockets, if that were possible.

Otherwise, he might punch the wall.

Rikku

IC: I was still watching Eiji from a distance. I was mostly thinking to myself though. I wonder what the others think about me? Eiji, Lee, Mai, and Milo. Not one of them is normal and yet I'm the only one out of all us that is misshapened. Well except Lee. But he has some control, more or less. I guess Mai dosen't have much wrong with her. She was a pritty cool little girl too.

I hope I can talk to them again. But still, I can't face them not like this. When I'm normal I will see them not before. Prehaps I can do a spell?

 

[hybirdx]

'Damn damn damn damn!!!' Eiji thought "H-hey Tetsuru!"

Eiji shoop off the frantic feeling to escape off. And regained his calm attitude 'Man... just my luck!'

"Whats up?"

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru frantically shoved her feet into her sandals, straightened her braids, and dusted off her bum before standing. She jogged over to Eiji, adding even more of a bounce with her yet-more-unbuttoned shirt in a vague attempt to attract his admiration.

"E-Eiji! Hi! Um." She smiled widely, and put one arm behind her head, in a rather cutey Ronin style. "L-Look, Eiji, I'm sorry I got mad at you... y'know... before. Ehm, I just didn't feel appreciated then, and, and, I didn't realize you were tired. I'm sorry. I don't know you well yet at all, and you didn't deserve that..."

She blushed prettily, not on purpose. Not EVERYTHING she does is on purpose--in fact, it generally isn't.

But in Eiji's case... what am I thinking? I want ninjutsu training, and I don't really want him. Well... maybe a little. *mental blush* But really, what do I want... is he just the only guy who hasn't openly noticed my looks? Does that worry me?

She put a hand on his arm, rather feebly, hoping he wouldn't shake her off, but somehow convinced he would.

"Let's be friends?"

She cleared her throat, very quietly, so he wouldn't notice her nervousness. I am not being a shy schoolgirl. I'm NOT. I'm just afraid he won't be my friend. That's all. Yes.

"And if you will... D-Do you wanna go out for a snack, maybe, too?

 

[cats]

Lee Anno et Rikku

IC: Rikku: I looked over the bush at Eiji who was talking to a girl. Rikku you relise your spying now. I duck back behind the bush. So I'm spying? I then look back over the bush, no big deal. Is he seeing some one?

IC: Lee Anno: 'I... a yes.. I a... would like too.' Damn it why'd he say that? Now my mom is going to be a bigger pain then normal. I move swiftly trieing to run threw the water. "Mom please go back inside. Please just go back inside." 'Okay I'll leave you to alone.' I was half tepmted to ask her to stay out after that but it would be to risky what if she called me Lee by mistake.

I'll have to explain a Lea rule to my fammilly now. Damn it today just isn't getting beter.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro blushed and hung his head for real this time.

Had he blown it?

"Ahh.. Lea... umm.." He looked up at her, and saw her ushering her mother out the door. Umm... that butt is...

He choked and shook his head as she turned back to him.

The string of phrases he rumbled out sounded even more comidic with the addition of his deep voice saying them. "Lea, I, I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you, you know, when you ran into me, I, you were just so pretty, and, I couldn't think of what to say, and, I, I would like to, to b-b-be..."

He stammered, unable to continue, and looked up.

What am I DOING?

He grunted, and brushed his hair out of the way, giving a cool, bishonen look again, regaining his "composure".

"....huh."

He shifted his posture, quite obviously trying to pretend he hadn't said anything.

"....can I swim with you?"

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji gave his usual weak simle, and taken the offer of freindship. "I'm sorry, but I can't go for a snack right now, I have to get medicin down at the beach, you can come if you want though!"

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

He didn't notice.

He didn't notice AT ALL.

How could somebody not notice THESE?

"I'd love to," she breathed, blushing ever-so-slightly.

And what the hell is wrong with ME?

Hey, Yoshiro! ...he's not there. Wonder what he's up to.

"Maybe we could hang out at the beach afterwards..." She smiled.

Okay, Lee is just as cute as this guy. Lee at least looks at me, though he seems to disapprove -- but I always get through to those guys in the end, they're just in denial. So why am I so light-headed around this punk ninja?

Seeing as Eiji hadn't thrown off her hand, she linked arms with him and stood close, her hip pressed against his side and her bosom quite revealed, neither of which particularly on purpose, though she was aware of both.

"You need to work on that smile," Tetsuru added, with a wide, happy smile of her own.

There... I feel a bit more normal now.

 

[cats]

Lea Anno

IC: "No thats not nessary." What the hell is this guy on. He dosen't even have a swim suite. He stuters, he overly violent, and... slightly cute..... WHat no I didn't just think that! This is worse then when I kissed Eiji at least then I wasn't thinking.

"How about I swim you watch." That should keep him out of the water. Now what to do. I start to swim laps again. Now how am I going to get him to leave me alone..... And what if Eiji finds out damn it I'll never live this down!

 

[hybirdx]

'eek!' Was the only thing he could think up at the moment as he fought the blush that was creeping its way up his face "Um... Yeah...."

'Damn! Why am I always a sucker for a cute girl? Come on Eiji! Keep your cool!'

"Sh-shall we?"

Eiji had completely forgotten that he was suppose to be running towards the beach

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro

W-Watch? I get to WATCH? I... I...

...really need to calm down. Damn.

So, of course, Yoshiro didn't calm down at all.

"Ah... ah... alright..." His cool behavior lost once again, his handsome bishonenness vanished to be resplaced by cute bewilderment, a hilarious and slightly endearing expression to be seen on someone so tough-looking.

He sat down awkwardly, watching.

P-Pleasant...

"D-Do... do you not like me? O-Or do you?" he managed, almost gasping for breath after he finished.

She was SO SEXY! And here I am, not being smooth at all, skipping all the steps my mind presents me with, stumbling around... looking like an idiot...

 

[cats]

Lee Anno

IC: 'D-Do... do you not like me? O-Or do you?' I stood up once again in shock. I notice myself bounceing. Damn, maybe Tetsuru wasn't doing it on purpose? Answer... "Yes... NO...What the hell am I doing?" I drop myself deep into the water to try and cool down my brain and thinik a way out of this.

I resufafaced and considered my options. I wait for his response and then be chose with how I word it.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru, the Cutey

"Please!" she giggled, and nearly tugged Eiji along with her in the direction of the beach. She hadn't been before, and it would be nice to be seen with a cute boy on her first appearance...

...okay, so she was in denial. Fine. She really just wanted to be with this guy...

"I should have brought my swimsuit," she said, and giggled again.

Ah, I feel bubbly as usual! Things feel right again. He seems to be slowly getting used to my charm. Ho ho ho!

"So, Eiji, tell me about yourself," she said easily, smiling up at him. It felt good, being near him. She didn't even feel desire, really... he just seemed like a comforting presence. Though, if she looked inside herself, she could see the desire there, waiting to be unleashed. "Ehh, how come you are such a good martial artist?"

She made sure just to jiggle a LITTLE, every step she could, but she knew she would give it up after a while. As long as he noticed her... she could feel comfortable.

Though the fact that she needed the recognition so badly... seemed a little sad to her now...

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro

Was she... confused too?

"Um, Lea... you're... you're very pretty. I like you. I'd like... like to... be your boyfriend." He actually blushed deeply at that one, and he couldn't hide it, because he couldn't stop staring at her. "Ah, hah, ahh...."

".....huh....hummm....."

He tried to catch his breath, but was unable to, and pressed on.

"I-It's okay if you don't care. I-I guess I don't know you that well. But you're very... um... very pretty, and I knew that all I wanted was to see you again, and, um..."

I'm doing this too suddenly! What the HELL is WRONG with me? She doesn't even KNOW me!

"...do you like me? Are you sc-scared of me? Please..."

He cleared his throat and looked away, trying to harden his eyes again but failing. He felt himself nearly melting. This was bad.

"Please don't be..."

He had practiced this tough guy thing for three years, and it was all gone! All gone!

What power does this girl have over me...?

 

[hybirdx]

Okay! Thats pushing me over the limit!

Eiji's face turned beat red for a moment, But he kept his attitude to, alomost, normal.

Is she trying to make me pass out in embarrasment!?! Damn! If Mai finds out, she will never, EVER, let it down! And I don't even want to consider Lee's attitude towards it!

"Wy did I became a good Martial artist? Hmmm....."

Eiji knew if he told her, it would bring up bad memorys. But he looked at his past as an sign, as a sign of his strengh."Well I guess It started whe my Grandfather adopted Me and my little sister..."

 

[cats]

Lee Anno et Rikku

IC: Lee: I looked at him ash ebgan to repond. I saw his gaze and turned my body to put it out of my mind. Okay just think threw this thing. Your a boy and can't be his girlfreind. So just ask him to go now. Real simple thing to do.

'I-It's okay if you don't care. I-I guess I don't know you that well. But you're very... um... very pretty, and I knew that all I wanted was to see you again, and, um...' I'm that good looking. I only bumped into him. Of coarse I'm now in a swim suite, thats got to be afecting his judgemnet.

I stood there thinking to myself for several minutes. Nothing else was geting in my head. "How am I that pretty?" I'll get to the botum of this now. I crossed my arms infront of me and closed my eyes to think.
