High school blues. Check ooc before joining!

[hybirdx]

Eiji winced as Tetsuru left for a shower, his back felt horrible. Reese did say it would take some time to get used to my wings.. But she didn't say that it would hurt this much! As son as he made sure Tetsuru was gone, Eiji quickly stood up and taken off his jacket. Then took off his no-longer whit T-shirt.

He let his wings appere again, as he checked them quickly. They don't seem bruised... Maybe it was the jacket, I'll have to buy a new one temperarely. But I love that jacket, I had it since Sen picked me up. I'll have to ask Mai to expand it again... He slowly flapped his wings forward stretching them. "They're fine." He muttered.

'Eiji-chan!' she said, smiling at him. 'Or shall I say, Eiji-sensei, now? Eheheh! You better still want to train me! I'm getting more excited about the melee arts!'

Meele arts? Is that what she thinks it is?" Eiji thought

'Hai, Eiji? Would you mind some soft chicken dumplings with chicken yakisoba noodles? Yoshiro bought a whole chicken and there's a lot of meat left, and it's only a day old. How about it?'

"Uh, sure!" Eiji said slightly nervous.

Lee

OOC: Boy, who expected Lee to be at the penicle of womens fashion? He even got the rright number of botuns on the blouse. Of caorse he wasn't trying for that.

IC: Haveing sat down next to him again. I looked down at the shirt. I noticed it was like I entered in a white T-shirt contest. Dose Rikku have something against me?

Yoshiro leaned in and I faced him to ask what he wanted when he kissed me. I shut my eyes feeling the warmth of his smooth lips against mine. I felt so relaxed and calm happy even. Then I felt his hand come to my side it was gentle but firm. It slid down my side slowly each little bit of distance it covered I felt witha new nerve.

It finally came to rest on my butt. I was real warm and comfortable. A guys hand is on your butt Lee. I opened my eyes in suprise of my actions. Am I gay or something?

I pushed him off not trying to be rude to him. "Lets just finish eating please. I kept from looking into his eyes. I didn't want to know what he was thinking.

I picked up the copsticks and began to eat the CA rolls. I was good with copsticks. I prefered a fork but I learned to use these to enfance my control with my sword. My sword? It still broken at home. I'll have to fix it. I'm shoked it broke though.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro agreeably pulled back, blushing happily, though his face expressionless. He placed his hand behind his back, obviously a bit embarassed at his action, but continued to eat with one hand, apparently taking enough pleasure it just watching Lea.

Though it might've been the wet blouse.

Sheesh! I must be dreaming! I only wish she would talk more... but I'm not much of a conversationalist, I suppose...

<<--->>

Tetsuru hummed to the radio she had turned on as she rolled out the dough skillfully, obviously having quite a bit of practice. Once she was done, she pulled the dough apart and began to fold them up even as the chicken boiled on the stove. Tossing in soy sauce and green onions periodically, Tetsuru would flip some chicken into the small dough pouches, fold them up, and plop them in a different pot.

In another pot altogether, the buckwheat noodles boiled slowly.

"I love cooking!" called Tetsuru. "Yoshiro is a great cook too, but he generally doesn't get around it. I remember the last time he cooked, Lee was here... and that didn't work out too well. Hopefully my brother is having a good time, and not making a fool of himself." She laughed merrily. "I try to teach him how to treat a woman, but I don't think it helps him much."

"Is your sister like that, Eiji? Course, she's younger than I, but, I'm curious... I'd like to get to know your sister better." She smiled as she quickly pulled out the boiled dumplings, so they didn't get overcooked. "If you train me, though, maybe I could spend some time with her! And that grandfather of yours -- I think I heard about him, Sen? I heard he has an impressive dojo. I haven't really gotten into the melee combat parts of martial arts, but with that tournament, I'm beginning to wonder if a bit more training would give me the edge to be a winner!"

She sighed and shrugged. "I guess I can't rely on Yoshiro to be the muscle forever..."

 

[cats]

Lee

OOC: Sorry I didn't see that you replied to this. I'm chating with a cute girl right now so I made a mistake.

IC: I poped one of the rolls into my mouth with a chopstick. "So Yoshiro, Come here often?" might as well talk. He didn't seem to catch the question and start talking. "Tell me about your self. Where you came from, how long you've fought and the like." I picked up another one and added to what I was chewing.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro was silent for a while, simply watching Lea eat, before finally responding.

"Yeah, I come here often," he said softly. "Generally I just come here when I want some quiet time, because there aren't usually a lot of people here. When I'm tired of thinking, eating is the best option..." He looked away and smiled at the ground, furrowing his forehead in embarassment. "That's why I brought you here. I felt like... I wanted to share it with you. Of course... it's hard to explain. I'm just happy that you're here, with me, instead of me being alone here."

Yoshiro was quiet for a few more moments before continuing. "Tetsuru is my only living relative. A rich personage sponsored us, for a reason we cannot tell, and we do not know who it was -- but we decided to come here to get an education with the money." He glanced at his hands, which he used all of his willpower not to ball up into fists. "...I plan to find the person who sponsored us... and thank him personally."

A speech of truths before a speech of lies? I feel terrible, but how could I explain to Lea? Whenever I think about the truth, it reminds me how I don't deserve to have a normal girl... but will not thinking of how I might hurt her prevent anything?

Yoshiro looked up, smiled, and let her eat. He took a sip of water, but he appeared to have lost his appetite.

"And I've fought for as long as I can remember. Because I can, I suppose..."

He smiled wider, blushing slightly. "...how about you, Lea?"

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji knew that his grandfather was famous for training people with great sleeping potintal, but he never knew that people known about Sen's Secret Dojo. Only people trained by Sen knew about his grandfathers dojo. Then he remembered she mentioned about his little sister, Mai.

"Yeah... Mai is an easy person to get along with, most of the time. She can some times be an brat, but thats how all younger siblings seem like."

'I guess I can't rely on Yoshiro to be the muscle forever...'

"Hmm..."

Both of you are stronger than the other in one point of battle Eiji thought silently.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Stupid! I shouldn't have said that! I wouldn't be able to tell him where I got my information from... he wouldn't believe me...

...never said in the report that he was cute, though...

"Almost ready!" Tetsuru called from the kitchen. "I hope you're hungry!"

She piled the delicious buckwheat noodles and sauce into a large bowl, and piled the large amount of chicken dumplings into a second large bowl. Stacking up four smaller bowls, she brought them all into the living room, setting them down on the small table near the couch.

She had removed her apron, and her cleavage was finally revealed with her soft white blouse. She leaned down slightly, not even remembering her three undone buttons as she smiled at Eiji cheerily.

"What would you like to drink, Eiji, dear?"

Don't forget to kiss the chef! Hee hee!

 

[cats]

Lee and Rikku

IC: Lee: I listend intently as he talked about his past. I finished eating myself and noticed he was done. "Well prehaps we should get going." He paid the bill and I walked out the door.

"Are you walking me home or not." I know I'm going to regret this.

IC: Rikku: I saw that they paid and left. Before they cleared off the plate. I wnet up and told the waiter he had to go but I'm not done. He then brought out several more plates of food knowing his hard day of work wasn't close to ending.

 

[hybirdx]

"..."

Eiji fought every natural urge before him, espscialy blushing, Fight it Eiji! refrain, refrain!

"Err... Nothing, thank you."

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro paid the bill to find Lea standing at the doorway. The sun was setting at the beach, and orange rays creating a hazy aura of heavenly light for a few, shining moments. He wondered if, perhaps, he had fallen in love with an angel, and now she was leaving to fly away.

"Are you walking me home or not?"

He then realized, with a start, that his angel would be staying with him for a while longer...

Blushing and clearing his throat, Yoshiro was already out the door. "Y-Yes, ma'am!" he said, smiling as he offered Lea his hand. He was still somewhat shy, but after eating with her (and kissing her), he felt slightly more comfortable.

He took her hand softly, and glanced up at the sky wistfully. "Do you ever look at the sunset?" he asked. "There are few things more beautiful than a sunset..."

Turning back to her, he smiled. "I have the pleasure to know one of them..." And he brought her hand to his lips, kissing it gently.

Well, that wasn't so bad. You might be getting a bit better at this, Yoshiro my man. Though who knows what Lea likes...

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru smiled and nodded, then walked back into the kitchen. She retreived two sets of chopsticks and two white-and-blue china chopstick holders, as well as a small Coke for herself. She came back and plopped herself down on the couch right next to Eiji, so close their legs were touching.

She piled up a few dumplings and some noodles into her bowl. "Eat up!" she exclaimed, and began to consume the food vigorously with her chopsticks.

"Mmm! You try it!" she suggested, and then continued to eat as Eiji retrieved his chopsticks. "I think Yoshiro made these chopsticks, you know. It's funny, all the hobbies he has. Sometimes I think he does these things when I'm asleep, because they tend to just appear, y'know? Eheheh!" She chuckled, and took a drink, and then flipped on the large television.

It was, of course, set to cartoons.

"Aww, nice!" exclaimed Tetsuru. "Yu-Gi-Oh is on!"

 

[hybirdx]

"Eiji? You mean My brother Moon?"

"Yes."

"What would you need with Eiji kid?"

Sparrow sharply looked at Milo "Don't call me a kid! I'm older than I look."

"Well anyways, we don't where he is right now. And besides, if you want to talk to my older brother good luck, he is elusive and doesn't talk to people that much."

"Well if he knows Julie then I'd beg to differ."

"You know Julie!?"

Milo felt like an shadow at the moment "Who's Julie?"

 

[cats]

Lee

IC: He took my hand into his arm. He then talked about the sunset and it's beauty. I had often looked at the soon set with a tear in my eye. I was not just a fighter but also an artist. One had to be oth for fighting to me was art.

He then told me how he had the pleaseure of knowing me who is more beautiful then the seting sun. I smiled not knowing from looking at my cursed form just how atarctive I must be.

He kissed my hand and took me home. My hand was one fire from the warmth of his soft lips. He put such passion into it.

We soon reached our homes. I looked at him for a second and against all reasoning in my head asked him to come into my back yard with me.

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji nodded, he himself had hobbies like making chop sticks, all in part of training, it also relived his stress, so did carving cartoon characters out of wood.

'Aww Nice, Yu-Gi-Oh is on!'

Eiji looked up on the screen, he saw joey in a dog suite, an swet drop fell on Eiji's head. "Reminds me of an incident a while ago..." He accidently muttered out loud

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru blinked and glanced sidelong at Eiji, grinning.

"That sounds like a story," said Tetsuru, looking at him curiously and continuing to eat. Then she gestured at the bowl by Eiji.

"Eiji, eat!" she exclaimed. "You're insulting me, you know!" She winked at him.

<<--->>

Yoshiro blushed. The backyard? I wonder... at least we're not going swimming...

He nodded, and smiled. "Thank you," he responded, and let her lead him in.

Are my wildest dreams about to come true? Heh, don't count on it, Yoshiro. With your life's luck so far, it's probably an ambush, and Lee is going to hit you with a two by four for hitting on his sister.

Still... a boy can only dream...

 

[cats]

Lee

OOC: Lee might use a two by four.

IC: I sat down on the seat next to the small metal table in my back yard. "I don't know why but I'm not done talking to you yet." Why haven't you let him go. It's very late know your parents are probably asleep now and you should get rest too.

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji nervously chuckled "Er... Sorry, Guess I haven't been myself lately." Eiji taken the bowl taken a bit "Mmm! Great!"

***

"How do you know Julie!?"

"I could say the same about you!" Sparrow grunted "This is getting us no where..."

Mai gave one huge "Hmmph!" and crossed her arms.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru blushed and smiled.

He's so nervous, though... I wish he was more expressive about these sorts of things... but it is cute!

"Hey, Eiji, are you alright?" she asked, glancing at him sidelong. "You seem kind of nervous." Smiling cheerily, she placed one soft hand on his shoulder. "Hey, relax! You're on a soft couch, eating good food, if I may say so myself, and with a friend! Unless there's something wrong?"

I'll say there's something wrong! You haven't tackled me yet! I can't believe this guy. Doesn't he know he's supposed to like girls?

She put her bowl down and moved her hand from Eiji's shoulder to drape it around him, moving closer. "If something's worrying you, you can tell me..." Her face was close now, as she was trying to look into his eyes.

<<--->>

Yoshiro blushed and stepped forward, standing next to the chair. He kneeled down, so his towering height was now at level with Lea as she sat. "Lea," he said softly, "I would stay here, with you, forever." Or, at least for a night, please! Heh, yeah, right... but if I could feel those lips again... He smiled warmly. "We don't need to talk... I know that I do not possess the words to tell you exactly how I feel for you, and thus..."

He leaned forward and kissed her softly again, rising up and slowly gathering her in his arms, lifting her up as he absorbed her into his loving embrace.

Oh, gods, wherever you are, let this moment last forever...

 

[cats]

Lee

IC: I looked up at the night sky. There were stars there. "Yoshiro. Look at those stars up there." I extended a slender finger pointing to the sky. "Isn't it sad." Yoshiro didn't answer. "You see how bright the ski is? thats from dust and polution. Few of the stars shine down on us. Still the ones that do are beautifull. But there beauty is still an illsion. Most of there beauty is blocked." I noticed a small patch of stars to the right. "It's sad you can barely see Leo." I pointed there now.

 

[cats]

Lee

OOC: Place this before my last post.

IC: 'Oh lea... I could sit here with you forever.' Yoshiro stood up. 'We don't need to talk... I know that I do not possess the words to tell you exactly how I feel for you, and thus...' Real sweet of him to say so.

He kissed me softly on the cheek. It almost tikeled me. I looked up into the night ski almost ignoreing his lips.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro glanced upward at the night sky, listening to Lea talk. His grip loosened slightly to give her room to point, but he kept close by her, as if afraid he would lose her if he let go completely.

Yoshiro glanced up at the stars.

"Yes," he said quietly, "you can barely see Leo..."

Unless Leo obscures himself... ah, Lea, I'm so sorry to lie about my past...

"I love to watch the stars as well as the sunsets," he continued. "The night reminds me that within darkness there are always lights to guide the way, and I grow less fearful of the dark." He smiled slightly. "Even when pollution disguises those lighs from you..."

"I hope I'm following a star," said Yoshiro softly. "I hope that the paths I take are not lies, the beauty warped from the pollution of my own too-narrow mind. I don't want to live and find that I am long in a black pit..." He shook his head. "So I watch the night to remind me to be careful."

 

[hybirdx]

Yeah... Why am I so nervous?"

Eiji looked at Tetsuru and gave his usaul weak smile "No reason, I guess I'm just adjusting to so much change." Eiji did his best not to flinch as he felt another sharp pain in his back No... Not now... Why does it have to start hurting now?!

 

[cats]

Lee

OOC: If I was wide awake I'd never make it this easy.

IC: He began to compare the night ski to himself. He explained the lessons he learned from it and also his purpose in studying it. He still had his hands wraped around me and his touch was so soft I almost didn't know he was there.

I leaned over to him and looked him in the eyes. I don't know what I was looking for but I was shure it was there. I kissed him softly on the lips. I then lay on a large towel we kept out here. I padded the ground next to me so he would come.

I then laid back and looked up at the ski.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro felt himself blush again as she kissed him, and then got up and began walking.

Oh, I can never get enough of this girl! Well, it's enough, I suppose, and-- wait, what's she doing?

Lea lay down on a towel and patted next to her on it, still looking up at the sky.

Yoshiro nearly had a seizure.

I... I get to lie down next to her? She trusts me this much? I'm... I'm honored...

Quietly, he padded over and lay down next to her, slipping an arm around her and holding her close to make sure she was warm.

<<--->>

Tetsuru, of course, did her best to help Eiji concentrate on his wing pangs and no longer bothered him.

Ha ha! Yeah, right.

Shyly, Tetsuru pushed her bowl aside and kept one arm wrapped around Eiji, and moved the other hand to his chest. For a young guy, he's very attractively built. Not huge and scary like Yoshiro, that's for sure, but obviously he's... "Um, Eiji," she said softly, her face still close to his, with a nervous expression on her beautiful face. "I don't think my brother will be coming home soon..."

She leaned forward a little bit more, now leaning over Eiji a little and pushing him slightly backwards. "...won't you... stay for a while?" And she moved her face forward, tilting her head and puckering her lips softly...

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji felt himself move back a bit as Tetsuru moved closer to him "yeah... why not?" he said softly, making sure he doesn't fall down. He felt another sharp pain in his back, this time it was so bad, his arm twitched involentary. No! not now!

He gave a quick look down his sides and relized that a part of his left wing was showing, OH NO! Not yet, just let me get home Another sharp pain surged through his back and body. He just wanted to screem in pain. But he was just way too stuborn to. that was his mistake.

He looked into Tetsuru's eyes. Calm... Eyes. another powerful surge hit Eiji, this time it was too much for him, he saw red for an split second, them every thing went black...
