Redemption

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy]Ayame looked shocked at the service. She smiled. " Can I have an orange juice please?" " You certainly may, little lady!" the waiter said and trotted off to get the drinks. Ayame giggled. " Wow, its good service!" " Yeah, I totally agree!" Keiji replied, smiling. " So...about the star gazing?" Ayame stayed silent for a while. [B]Should I go? I don't know....I don't know if.....[/B] [I]Ayame, for god sakes, just go....you're giving me a headache just thinking about it![/I] [B]Well its because of you that I don't know whether to go or not! What did you do to him?! He's so confused![/B] [I]I just told him not to mess with you all right![/I] " Ouch!" Ayame murmered. Her head throbbed from Blaise's yell. " Are you okay Ayame?" Keiji asked, completely deterring from the original question. " My head hurts..." " You need a drink..." Promptly, the waiter returned with their drinks. Ayame thanked him and took a sip. Keiji watched her carefully. " This is good orange juice!" " Hey Ayame..." Keiji started. " Yes Keiji?" " Why were you so happy on the beach?" " Well....you see, I have two older brothers. And they caused havoc around my house. I have never been allowed outside much, and this was the first time I've ever been on the beach and with a friend I liked." [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Black][CENTER][SIZE=3][U]BLACK MAIDEN LEGEND[/SIZE][/U][/CENTER] ? [I]?Five maidens govern over death. Men, they do not need, and are their sworn enemy since the dawn of civilisation. To find eternal peace, they must rid the world of corruption and evil in all forms.? This legend started in the times of ancient Rome. Five women were discovered with extraordinary talents in the black arts of death. The Black Maidens of the Vestal Virgins ? protectors of the weak, abused and suppressed. On the discovery of these Maidens, the Emperor of Rome hired them and posted them at various points in the northern parts of the Empire ? present day France, Spain, Italy, Hungary and Russia. The Black Maidens singularly helped the Roman Army defeat many powerful foes. With peace now spread over the land, the Maidens were rewarded with large lots of land to settle on in their respective regions. There lies the roots of the Black Maidens Legend ? 2000 years on.[/I] ? Isabelle closed the old tattered book gently, after making an inscription in it. It was time for the five Black Maidens to ally together once again. The last time their lethal skills were needed was in World War II. However, a much more threatening and destructive force now loomed over an unsuspecting world. There were already indications of what was to come in the dark future. Bombings in main populace areas in Europe and throughout Asia. A surge in weapons trading and knowledge in the black market. All were signs Isabelle and her predecessors as the Priestesses of Vesta, hoped wouldn?t appear during their reign. [/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]The Black Maidens have already been taken. Sorry for anyone who wants to join. Amgoddess: France Neuvoxetere: Italy Bloody_Moon: Hungary Freude: Russia Kitty: Spain [U]amgoddess's Sign-up:[/U] Name: Chloe Evangelia Codename: Noir Age:19 Appearance: see attachment - not that much hair, Chloe has hers down to her back. History: Will describe in first post. Weapons: 2 H&K P8s and a set of throwing daggers (see attachment) Skills: Agility, Flexibilty, Deadly Aim with Gun and Daggers. Origin: France [U]Fruede's Sign-up:[/U] Name: Sasha Full Name: Aleksandra Svetlana Kirov Codename: Firebird Age: 23 Appearance: A strange combination of features she has: black hair, gray eyes and pale rose lips. Since she got a chin-length haircut, bad hair days (which she had always been susceptible to) stopped coming. She?s usually seen in her uniform but totally abhors its color. She prefers red over any color and is very sentimental which might explain why, from her notable collection of gloves (last count=46 pairs) her favorite is a pair of red gloves her father gave her. Background Story: A policewoman who sidelines as a novelist. She?s currently working on her fifth book, A Sky of Strobes. Farsightedness had always been both a gift and an obstacle for our Sasha. Though she is able to easily knock off a liquor bottle at 300 yards, she is seen as a scrutinizing woman because of the unpleasant squint she gives people she meets for the first time. Her life has been pretty uneventful, save for odd tidbits like her mother had been training her in marksmanship since she was 5 and that her father died in the same line of work she is in now (and that he had always warned her not to follow his footsteps). She liked both her parents? jobs so much that she pursued both careers. By the way, it is worth mentioning that her mother was also policewoman; the novelist of the family was her father. Oh and there?s that issue about her lovelife being, well, dead. She says, ?Not true.? Weapons: A pistol, a number of special explosives and her devastatingly good looks. Skills: She?s an able chemist, a good markswoman and an incredible cook. Origin: Russia [U]Kitty's sign-up:[/U] Name: Angelina Codename: La Matador (The Killer in Spanish) Age: 20 Appearance: Angelina has long black hair, down to her thighs, which is held back with a headband decorated in skull patterns. Her skin is tan, and her body quite curvy. Her eyes are green, which is uncommon for a Spanish woman. She wears hooded black shirts (not jackets) with, as you could have guessed, skull patterns. She wears a long, low-rider skirt knitted by her great-grandmother with what look like red rivers. And on her feet, she either wears sandals or black, knee-high boots. History: Angelina was born into a decently rich family, with 3 older sisters and an older brother, and followed by 3 more younger sisters. Her mother and sisters all made rugs and paintings and pots to sell in the town. Her brother would go to school, and she rarely saw her father. And, up until he died when she was 7, she had no idea what he did for a living. As it turned out, he was a hitman working for the government and earning enough money to buy his family a decent house on the outskirts of the small Spanish town. After his death, however, their tiny fortune began to dissolve. Her brother was "adopted" into the Hitman profession at the age of 18, when Angelina was 10. He was not seen again until Angelina was 15. But while he was away, Angelina's oldest sister traveled to America illegally, eventually going to college and getting married to a Spanish-American business man. Her other two older sisters both stayed in Spain and married into rich families to support themselves and their mother. They would send in some money once a month, and would visit often. When Angelina turned old enough to be married off, however, her mother gave her a skirt hand-sewn by her great-grandmother. And she also told Angelina the story of her ancestors. They had all been great assassins in the past. And, when each woman in the family came of age, they were invited by their mother to join the profession, whether or not they, themselves, had adopted the tradition. Angelina's mother had not chosen to follow in her mother's footsteps, nor had Angelina's older sister's. But Angelina was amazed. She accepted immediatly, and was shipped off to Northern Spain to train with a family friend. There, she spent two years training, and she learned fast. Very fast. Weapons: A poison-tipped, jagged-edged dagger with a skull-decorated handle. A long, double-bladed dagger with a dragon curling around the handle. Four throwing knives in a small knife belt around her right leg. Skills: Unknown Origin: Spain [B]I still am waiting for Bloody_moon and Neuvoxetere's sign-ups. They will be posted.[/B] [B]But I am looking for any rivals or male assassins that want to join.[/B] Here is the sign-up for any that want to join.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy]OOC: Boat?? I thought we were on the island?? Oh boy.... Ayame blushed at Keiji's question. " I do....but I don't really want to tell anyone." She looked at her feet, her face as red as a rose. " That's okay Ayame," Keiji replied, again looking at the stars. " Umm....Keiji....." " Yes Ayame?" " Do you want to go for a walk somewhere, do something, it should be nearing dinner time." " Sure." Together they rose and walked off to find the beach. Cool waves lapped at the shore softly - the sound calming to anyone who decided to listen for a few moments. Ayame had taken off her shoes and walked in the white sand with bare feet. It was a new experience for her, walking along the beach with company that she liked. The moon shone across the water, the reflection slightly distorting in the ripples of oncoming waves. It was so peaceful, so calming... Ayame walked down to the water and let it lap her feet. Keiji watched her with amusement. Her blonde hair was silver in the moonlight and her grey eyes seemed to radiate a soft beauty. Keiji was stunned at this momentary lapse in time. Ayame squealed in enjoyment at the feeling of the cool water running over her feet. This squeal knocked Keiji back into reality. He watched her face for another second. The expression on it could only tell of immense joy and happiness. He'd never seen someone so happy before. Suddenly, a clear bell rang out through the still night. Both Ayame and Keiji looked at the source. " I think that's the dinner bell," Ayame said to Keiji as she came to his side. The night was getting old, the moon at the highest point in the sky already. " Yeah, lets go have something to eat. I'm starving!" " Yes, me too," Ayame agreed. Soon, they found the great dining hall. It was an open building, having no walls, just posts holding up the roof, with three very long tables sitting in the middle. The roof was made out of palm leaves, thatched together to give the tropical feel to the building. The posts that held the roof was richly carved with legends that the indigenous people told for centuries before the school students arrived. Outside the building, a lone brass bell hung from its structure. The rope to it gently swayed, telling them that it was the bell that rang before. " Looks like this is it," Keiji said. " Yes. Some of the other students are here too," Ayame added. They sat down together, talking to each other, waiting for food and people to join them. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]When Kayin entered the room, Ziarre's day brightened immediately. " Kayin!" She stood, ran and tackled hugged him. This caught him by surprise. " Whoa! Well good morning to you too Ziarre!" She smiled as she stood up, bringing him up with him. Kayin grabbed some breakfast and sat at the table next to Ziarre, who just finished her toast. " So, did you and Mizu have another fight?" Kayin asked. " No....I just asked her if she was okay and she just glared at me," Ziarre replied, crossing her arms in front of her. Kayin sniggered. " How rude..." Ziarre said aloud. Azuru giggled to herself. " Well, what are we going to do? Where's Hiroshi? Doesn't he normally have breakfast with us?" Ziarre stated after a few minutes silence. " I dunno. I haven't seen him this morning," Kayin said. " Me neither. Wonder what's happening?" Azuru added. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy]Blaise glared at Keiji, starting to get agitated with him. [I]Stupid little kid...[/I] he thought to himself. [B]That's not nice Blaise![/B] Ayame's voice rang. [I]Well I told him you were ok, in a manner of speaking, and he still wants to know. I've told him a thousand times already.[/I] [B]He's just worried about me....for some odd reason....just let it go....please Blaise....[/B] [I]Just for you my little Ayame.[/I] " So you think my Ayame's sweet?" Blaise sniggered. " Well that's her alright." " [U]MY[/U] Ayame?! What do mean my? Is she your girlfriend?" Keiji asked, feeling rather protective. " Well I let that one slip. Ayame ....you could say.......is like a little sister to me....so don't mess with her! Otherwise you mess with me kid!" Keiji looked like a stunned mullet. He'd never would have believed that Ayame could be associated with someone like this. [B]Blaise! You are so mean![/B] [I]What?[/I] Blaise turned his head around absent-mindedly and saw two people on a roof. One was a guy sitting and the other was a chick. A wry grin spread across Blaise's face. " Well cya later kid. Ayame will be back soon to talk to you again. Remember what I said punk!" With that Blaise walked away, going towards the couple on the roof. With Keiji now out of sight, Blaise leapt up onto the roof next to the one with the two people on it. His black coat fluttered as he landed silently. " ....my name is Inferna..." the chick said rather agitated. [I]Wow....she's a stunner.....[/I] Then his heart started to race. " What! No.....It can't be." Blaise quickly leapt back off the roof and landed roughly in a patch of grass. Slowly, he made his way to Ayame's room. Back in her bedroom, he turned back into Ayame. She quickly changed out of Blaise's clothes and changed into hers. Then she went back out to Keiji, who looked extremely confused and horrified. " Are you okay Keiji?" Ayame asked. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy] Ayame smiled to Keiji again. " It's ok Keiji." Really it wasn't. When Keiji touched her hand with his, fire flooded through her body. Now she was confused, very confused, if he liked her or not. But, she just put on her smile and left her feelings be for the moment. " I liked your haiku Keiji. It is very real...the way you described this moment." [I]Well look who's becoming a philosopher now.[/I] [B]Blaise, can I have a moment of peace for a while?[/B] [I]Only cause you asked my little Ayame.[/I] Keiji looked very distant. Ayame just looked at her hands in her lap. " Do you know that I'm bunking with Shuuya and Shuichi?" Ayame's head whirled around when she heard Shuichi's name. " You...you are bunking with Mr Shuichi?" " Yeah. Him and Shuuya. This is becoming quite a trip." Ayame's heart thumped against her chest painfully. She moved her hand over her chest and clutched it. Keiji noticed this. " Are you ok Ayame?" She couldn't answer. Blaise was going to come out any second and she wouldn't be able to stop it. Her heart thumped against her chest so hard, tears of pain leaked from her eyes. Keiji looked really concerned. " I'm sorry Keiji. I have to go," Ayame said, standing up swiftly and running off. Keiji sat on the bench stunned. He didn't know what to think.... Meanwhile... Ayame ran into her room. Kumiko lay on her bed still asleep. Ayame rushed around, trying to find somewhere were she could transform without anyone noticing. Barracading herself in her own bedroom, she felt her hair shorten and her body become more masculine. " Well that does feel so much better!" Blaise said, now stretching. [b]Blaise! Don't do anything really serious please! And change out of my clothes would you?![/b] Ayame said telepathically. " I won't do anything." Blaise changed into his normal attire - a black, short sleeved shirt, long black pants and a black, mid-length overcoat. " I'm glad you packed these Ayame!" [b]I couldn't let you wear my clothes![/b] " No, I suppose not." Blaise walked out to Keiji, who was still sitting on the bench where he and Ayame had talked. Blaise clicked his tongue in disapproval, catching Keiji's attention. " Well, aren't you just a romeo Keiji?" Keiji stood up. " How do you know my name? And who the hell are you?" Blaise sidled up to Keiji, confronting him with an air of male arrogance about him. " I'm a friend of Ayame's." Keiji's expression lightened a little. " Is she okay? She ran off just a few minutes ago, clutching her heart." " She's fine. She told me to talk to you." [B]What! Blaise! No![/b] [I] Don't worry Ayame. I'm just going to check this guy out for you.[/I] [B]Oh .......Blaise.....[/B] " So Keiji? What do you think of Ayame?"[/COLOR] [/FONT]

[FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=Red]Ziarre stood there naked, watching Asim ride away on Dark Blaze. He had not killed her, but he is going to kill either her or Night. She preferred to be her. Demons crashed through the doors and looked up a naked Ziarre. Dark flames flared around her. The demons were oblivious to the flames, and were entranced by her naked beauty. They stalked closer until they were a foot from her, then instant incineration. Two piles of ash fell to the floor. Soon, more of the filthy creatures entered into the room, all stopped and were dazzled by her. A few more minutes and the place smelt of burnt flesh. Ziarre was fuming. She felt a great dark presence resurface. She knew it could only be one thing?.a shadow lord. Her great dark feathered wings lifted her from the floor and whisked her out the balcony window. Before her, the trail of Sir Asim could be seen for miles again. She flew, as fast as her wings could take her, after Asim. She wanted to be right there when he met Night so she could stop him?for good. Soon, the trail slowed and Ziarre eventually caught up to Asim. He and his black steed Dark Blaze slowed to where the source of the evil presence came from. She landed on the rooftops, careful so that Asim couldn?t see that she was following. [/COLOR] [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Black][CENTER]Screams..... A sudden burst of black energy.... Darkness.... Silence..... A monster..... The village.... Love...... Death.....[/CENTER][/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkGreen]Ziarre awoke, her bright green eyes opening. She sat up slowly, putting her hand to her forehead. [I]That dream again...why does it haunt me so? What sin have I commited in my past lives?[/I] Ziarre slid out of bed. She could hear Mizu next door getting dressed. Another who was awake at an untimely hour. She dressed herself in a black tank top and long black leather pants - her signature colour. Shutting her door behind her, Ziarre walked along the corridor, unknowingly following Mizu to the dining hall. As Ziarre entered the hall, she saw Mizu sitting in one of the seats at the table, staring at her breakfast. Ziarre could tell she had been dreaming also, but it was a dream, it was a nightmare. Ziarre grabbed her breakfast and sat down next to Mizu and nudged her in the ribs. " Are you ok Mizu?"[/FONT][/COLOR]

Information on characters. They are as follows. Kite Blackrose Orca Mia Mistral Piros Elk I think that's it. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Ayame looked at her feet, scarlet in the face. ? Yes?.but please don?t tell anyone?? Kumiko winked. ? I promise I won?t.? Ayame sighed, relieved. [I]Well one person figured out your little secret Ayame, I wonder who else might?[/I] [B]Blaise, please don?t make this trip difficult.[/B] [I]You know me Ayame?[/I] [B]That?s what I?m afraid of?[/B] The boat had anchored at the island and Kumiko and Ayame had grabbed their luggage and found their assigned rooms, which happened to be next to one another. THey walked outside and found a seat under a tree to sit on. Ayame looked at Kumiko. She did look rather pale in comparison that she did on the boat. ? Are you sure you?re ok?? ? I?ll be fine. Go talk to some other people Ayame otherwise you?re never going to have fun here. Go talk to Shuichi if you can find him.? ? I couldn?t do that,? Ayame said, shocked, ? I?m too nervous to do such a thing. Especially around Mr Shuichi.? Kumiko shrugged her shoulders. ? You are one weird one Ayame.? Ayame just stayed silent. [I]Ha ha?she called you weird?[/I] [B]I know what she did Blaise?[/B] [I]Don?t take offence to it my little Ayame. She was just joking. Should I go steal something for you?[/I] [B]No Blaise. I don?t want you to make everyone suspicious.[/B] [I]No one will think it was you?.I?m a guy?.you?re a girl?.who would know?[/I] [B]Blaise![/B] [I]Just trying to have some fun here. It is supposed to be a [U]fun[/U] field trip you know?[/I] [B]I know Blaise?.but?..oh?..[/B] ? Are you sure you?re ok for a while Kumiko? You don?t want me to get a teacher or a glass of water?? Kumiko coughed. ? A glass of water would be nice.? ? Ok.? Ayame walked around the island to find a cool water bubbler for Kumiko. She did look very ill. Maybe its sea-sickness from the boat? Ayame kept walking, looking around for a bubbler when she bumped into someone. She whirled around and apologised profusely. ? I?m sorry. I didn?t know anyone was there. I?m truly sorry.? When Ayame looked up, she saw it was Keiji. He smiled. ? It?s ok. I didn?t know anyone was here either. You?re Ayame right?? Ayame nodded silently. ? So you are the one looking after Kumiko right?? ? Yes. She?s very sick. I was just going to get some water for her.? ? I?ll come with you. Shuuya deserted me and went to talk to Daisuke.? ? Oh, ok.? Ayame and Keiji walked to a cooler, got Kumiko a cup of water and made their way back to her. On their way back, they passed Risa Harada and a girl they had never seen before. Ayame looked at the girl who had long, shimmering dark red hair. Ayame turned to Keiji. ? Do you know who that girl is? Sitting next to Miss Risa?? Keiji looked behind them at Risa and the girl. ? No. Never seen her before. Maybe she?s with another school group or something.? When they came back to Kumiko, she was looking very white. ? Kumiko!? Ayame rushed and sat beside her. ? Are you ok?? ? Stop asking me that Ayame. I?m fine.? Ayame wasn?t so convinced. Keiji walked over. ? You do look very sick Kumiko. Maybe you should go to your room and sleep?? Kumiko nodded and drank the cup of water that Ayame gave her. Then she stood. She wobbled about, trying to stand properly. Ayame hooked Kumiko?s arm over her shoulder and Keiji did the same for the other arm. Both of them escorted Kumiko to her room and laid her on her bed. Ayame grabbed a washcloth from the bathroom, soaked it in cold water and laid it across Kumiko?s forehead. ? There, she should be ok for a while.? Keiji and Ayame left Kumiko in peace to rest. They walked outside and sat on the seat again. ? So Keiji, what are you planning to do on this trip?? Ayame asked timidly.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red][FONT=Century Gothic]Ziarre felt Asim?s heart beat inside his chest. What had she done? For a few precious moments, she and Asim had a whirlwind passionate embrace. But was it really what she wanted? She clutched Asim closer, feeling the warmth of his body against hers. It was what she wanted, but with someone else. But, they are both so alike? Ziarre felt faint, dizzy at the best. All she wanted was some affection. All this time, Night had shown her nothing but coldness. She wanted more. Just to be loved by someone?anyone?like Asim had just shown her. It was what she wanted. Ziarre felt her heart beat faster and stronger. Tears of silver dropped from her eyes in silence. All she wanted was to be loved. She wanted to be the most precious possession that that person had ever owned. By the way Asim was holding her, that much was true. But, the pain in his eyes told of another story, one full of hurt and sorrow. Obviously he regretted what he just did to her, for Ziarre could see that he loved another and she was much like her. Finally, Ziarre stood, the blanket wrapped around her. She couldn?t bear to drag Asim on like this. He loved another, so did she. ? Asim,? Ziarre whispered. He nodded in reply. He knew what she was about to say. ? I can see in your eyes that you loved another, someone in the distant past. The pain and sorrow in your eyes are evident. I can see that you loved the princess from the kingdom you came from, and for you to hold me like that, I must be much like her.? ? I am sorry. But I love another?? She felt her heart drop immensely, feeling the regret of doing this. ? The one you call Night is the one I love.? Asim looked up sharply. ? You are unwise to love him. You do not know who he really is or what he has become. You know neither of his past or his present.? Ziarre looked at the ground. Her heart felt as if it was going to tear in two. ? I do not care for his past. But I do know Night as he is, and for that I love him dearly. Ever since he rescued me from the demons when I was young, I have admired and respected him. As I grew older, that admiration and respect grew deeper and became love.? ? So you as well have secrets of your past too?? Asim questioned. He felt the guilt of what he had done fade. ? Secrets that no one else but me knows. Secrets that I want to tell you now. For I can help you, even though you may think what I say is completely ludicrous.? ? Go on.? ? My power is fire as you know?but fire is both a destroyer and a life-giver. Fire can destroy man and beast, but fire also gives them warmth and protection. A double-edged blade. My power has far exceeded what it used to be. But, I knew from when I was a child, I had the gift of life. When I was small, and my parents were still living, I found a dead bird in the garden one day. I picked the small creature up and held it in my hands. I cried for the poor thing since it was only young and had not experienced the joys of life. As the tears fell on my hands, a white flame surrounded them. The flames were the life flames, white and pure. Over a time, the white flames faded and the young bird suddenly hopped up in my hands. I had never been so happy in my life before.? ? If you wish Asim, I may be able to bring the princess back for you. That is if you wish it.?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy]Ayame loked around the bus as everyone filed out to the docks to board the ship that was going to take them over to Teardrop Island. The Harada twins passed her, Mr Keiji, Mr Shuuya, Mr Daisuke, Mr Satoshi, Miss Nuri, Miss Kumiko, Miss Sakura and finally, Mr Shuichi. Ayame's heart thumped painfully in her chest. [I]Well here's your lover boy Shuichi.[/I] [B]Blaise, he's not my lover boy. He likes someone else for sure.[/B] [I]Awww....my little Ayame....why so negative?[/I] [B]Because its true.[/B] [I]Ayame![/I] [B]Blaise, just go away![/B] Ayame looked wistfully out of the window at Shuichi. One tear slowly rolled down her cheek. Viper came up to Ayame and nudged her. There was no one else was on the bus. Ayame swiftly picked up Viper and raced out the bus door. She grabbed her bag and walked behind Shuuya and Keiji. Finally, she caught up to Kumiko. " Hi Miss Kumiko. How are you doing?" " I'm going okay. What about you, excited about this trip?" " Yes I am, very excited." Kumiko nodded. " Yeah me too." Then she started whispering. " Do you like anyone on this trip?" Ayame blushed very scarlet. " Actually I do." Kumiko looked shocked. " Yeah me too." " Really?" " Yes." " Who is it?" Ayame asked very bravely. Kumiko winked. " You'll see eventually." Ayame and Kumiko walked onto the boat, carrying their bags. " So, what exactly are we going to do here?" Kumiko asked. " I don't know." OOC: The bold is Ayame thinking to Blaise.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Trebuchet MS][I]Ayame?[/I] " Yes Blaise?" she whispered to herself very quietly. [I]You know that Nuri chick?[/I] " Miss Nuri you mean?" [I]Yeah her....something seems very familiar to me about her....don't ask me what but it just is.[/I] " Is that bad or good?" [I]I dunno. Do you think I could win her over with my charm?[/I] " Blaise!" [I]What?[/I] Suddenly a pink fuzzball raced in front of Ayame's face. [I]What was that?[/I] "[B] Fluff! Come back here! Sorry Ayame-san if she startled you.[/B]" [I]Startled you? She almost wiped us out! Stupid little furball![/I] " Blaise!" Ayame scolded herself. Then she felt wriggling in her shirt. " Oh no!" Suddenly Viper slid out of one of her sleeves and stalked Fluff. " Viper no!" Ayame grabbed Viper who wriggled in her hands wildly, wanting to get free. " I told you you should of stayed in my bag!" The black snake seemed depressed at Ayame's anger. Ayame's face softened. " I'm sorry Viper but I told you so." Nuri looked at Ayame talking to a snake. " AHHH! SNAKE!" Ayame looked over at Miss Nuri. " No no no. He's friendly. But he does want to eat Fluff. But he won't, will you Viper?" Ayame said quietly. The snake weaved its head side to side. " Good."[/FONT] [/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Navy]A soft cool breeze caressed Ayame's face as her eyelids fluttered open from sleep. The morning sun had crept slowly onto her bed, making it warm and cosy. Ayame tossed her blonde hair from side to side on her pillow, not wanting to wake. " AYAME! TIME TO GET UP!" One of her brother's voices drifted up to her room. Ayame slowly rose from her bed. [I]Well good morning sunshine...[/I] " Morning Blaise." [I]How are you feeling this fine morning?[/I] " I want to go back to sleep." She laid her head back on the pillow. [I] Aren't you forgeting something my little Ayame?[/I] " No." [I] I think you are. What about that trip to Teardrop Island today?[/I] Ayame sat bolt upright. " Oh no, I forgot it was today." Hurriedly, she jumped out of bed and quickly dressed into her school uniform. [I] Well well well, aren't we in a hurry...[/I] " Blaise, shhhhh! My brothers are going to come up here and wonder why I'm talking to myself. [I] But you aren't my little Ayame. You are talking to me, the infamous jewel thief, Blaise Black.[/I] " They don't know that." [I] No.....I don't suppose they don't. Pity...[/I] Ayame began to pack her bag in a very hurriedly fashion. The noise of the bus echoed along the street below her. " Oh no....." [I] Don't panic Ayame...you'll get there in time....where's Viper?[/I] At that moment, a small black snake slithered around Ayame's arm. [I] Ahh...there you are my loyal pet....do you want to go on a field trip today?[/I] " I can't bring Viper along! What if the others see him!" [I] They won't. He, like I, will only come out when needed Ayame. Don't worry so much. Take some chill pills....[/I] Ayame didn't like that comment at all. " Blaise..." [I] I promise...[/I] [B]BEEP BEEP![/B] The sound of the bus beeping its horn outside Ayame's house thundered through her window. " Oh....I'm coming....I'm coming....." Ayame picked up her stuffed bag (Viper hiding in her shirt) and ran downstairs. She collided with both of her brothers, apologised profusely but pressed on. Down the stairs and in the kitchen, her father sat reading the morning paper. " Goodbye father. See you when I come home." She kissed him on the cheek and rushed out the front door. Ayame's father looked up from the paper, smiled and went back to reading. Meanwhile.... Ayame climbed aboard the bus and apologised profusely to the driver. She continued up the aisle, seeing the Harada twins, Mr Shuuya and Miss Nuri. As she passed the twins, she greeted them warmly but shyly. " Good morning Miss Riku, Miss Risa." Ayame saw Mr Shuuya up the back. " Good morning Mr Shuuya." Then she saw Miss Nuri. " Good morning Miss Nuri." She sat in the seat across the aisle from the Harada twins and stared out the window.

Me, from Brisvegas (Brisbane actually)! Australia's lifestyle capital! Go the Aussies! And I was suprised to hear James came from Australia! Go James!

I think it would be nice to have at least one Christmas anime around. I suppose they don't do it because it might be politically incorrect or offend some religions. But I don't see the point. A good Christmas anime would be like a good Christmas movie. You'd watch it over and over again at Christmas until you're sick of it. But, how would you do a Christmas anime? Like what themes, etc? Another reason that it might be too limited for ideas. Ah well. Maybe you should make one AzureWolf.

Sounds interesting. I'd certainly give it a go!

She likes to be around friends and family most of the time. She's a great artist and has a wild imagination although she never speaks of it to anyone. When around boys, she becomes very quiet and bashful, especially around Eniguma Shuichi. He rarely talks to her but she admires from afar. [B]Bio:[/B]Ayame grew up with two older brothers and just a father. Being the only girl in the house, she would remain quiet and calm while the boys created chaos for their father. Her brothers were alowed to do whatever they please around the house, and are the cause of Ayame's introvert nature. However, just after her 12th birthday breakfast, Ayame was walking to school when she saw Shuichi. Suddenly, she felt her heart thump very hard over and over. She fell to her knees but moved into an alley, out of sight. She took out a mirror from her bag and saw that she was no longer a girl, but a boy 3-4 years older. She heard a voice in her head saying that he just loved being a cross-dresser (sarcastic). From then on, Ayame knew she was the host of Blaise Black, infamous jewel thief.

[FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=Red]Ziarre pulled the sheets up further over her body, feeling it was the only protection she had at the present. She felt extremely venerable in this man?s presence, considering she was naked and her powers were unsummonable. Her dark wings closed about her, giving her warmth and comfort. ? So, you find me intimidating?? the brooding figure questioned. Ziarre didn?t answer. ? For one such as you, I am surprised. Well, lets begin my story.? The man moved out of his seat and neared Ziarre. She did feel intimidated by him. Not only was she not allowed to summon her powers, but also she was naked and caged. Her heart beat more quickly. It was a strange feeling. A feeling that she wanted him to come closer, and yet she wanted him to stay as far away from her as possible. Ziarre pushed herself against the bed head and felt as if she was cornered. The man sat down at the end of the bed, facing her. ? Here is my story.? ? My name is Sir Asim the 29th. I am the son of the last generation of a family of war-bred nobles. In ancient times, I spilt the blood of demons in the name of justice. My skills in combat were renowned throughout the lands and my name struck fear into demon armies across the world.? ? The desert kingdom of Baghodiad was independent and could defend itself without the need of Hunters. My family served this kingdom throughout the ages. The knights of Baghodiad didn?t have much respect for half-demons. But one fateful day, the leader of the Hunters at the time came to the kingdom and offered the nobles of the kingdom an alliance against a powerful horde of demons moving in our direction.? ? I had doubts about this alliance. My knowledge in the ways of war, especially the way demons wage it, told me that the demon horde would not take the risk of waging war against our powerful army of the kingdom. They would lose momentum for their true goal which was to destroy the capital of the Hunters, which was many leagues north of Baghodiad. The plague of demons would have to go out of their way to east to attack our kingdom and then return marching to the north. It was highly improbably, but the leader of our kingdom did not want to risk the lives of his people, and agreed to the alliance. I objected profusely and warned them of the consequences of unnecessary war. My suspicions were that the Hunter were using us as a lure for the enemy, to attack us instead of the capital.? ? Hate began to stir in my soul. But, I fought my anger, and forced myself to accept the decision, for better or worse.? ? The demon horde did as I expected them to. They headed for Baghodiad because of the presence of Hunters. War broke on our beautiful city. Its paved streets were rivers of red, blood of warriors and commoners. The magnitude of the hordes was far larger than I, or any other, had expected. Even the valour of the brave knights of the city was not enough to suppress wave after wave of the enemy.? ? Everyone was now dead, except for myself, the king and his daughter. I considered the king as my father, and I would defend them with every breath of life I still had in my body. I was ready to fight the entire demon army alone for them.? ? I became cornered in the throne room of the palace. My blades were already crimson from the blood I had already spilled, and yet, I knew more were ready to come. I readied my soul to be sent to the afterlife. I was going to defend all that I cherished.? ? The Hunters, as foolish as they were, were nowhere to be seen.? ? Then, by chance, a secret passageway opened behind the throne. The king?s daughter was taken away by a loyal paladin and bid myself and the king to escape. As the king turned his back and ran to enter the passageway, he was hit by a poisoned arrow. His daughter was struck also, with yet another poison arrow.? ? Then, I lost control. I slew every last demon that now cursed city. What was once a beautiful metropolis of peace and harmony was now a cursed place of death and destruction. I buried every one of my comrades, the king, his daughter and the paladin that died at his side fighting. But before my loyal comrade died, he instructed me to a ruin where ancient enchanted weapons lay hidden for centuries. I would now have my vengeance against demon and Hunter.? ? I set out for the capital and started to fight the Hunters. I crept into their palace and killed two Hunters who guarded their leader?s room. I entered and badly wounded their leader with my new weapons and then escaped, leaving the others.? ? Demons came after me. I fought them and slew a great many. Thousands upon thousands of demons died by my hands.? ? I have heard stories about me. Some say I wandered from my original goal and enjoyed the slaughter. Others respected my skills and my name became legend, however, it was still feared.? ? Then, for the first and last time in history, ancient or modern, demons and Hunter would together and fought me. They could not destroy me.? ? However, with an aid of an aging wizard, they managed to sent me into a deep, and presumably, eternal sleep. A spell that would seal me and my terror away for all eternity. The wizard sealed me away in the ruins of Baghodiad. The Hunters and demons wished for me to be slain but I was not allowed to be, so was the condition of the wizard. Before he sealed me into slumber, he heard my story and sympathised with me, although he did not agree with the bloodbaths I had caused. Assuring those who warred against me that I would be sealed away forever, I was placed in a stone tomb. My enchanted weapons lay near my sarcophagus for no one dared to wield them.? ? There I laid for centures, untouched, and only remembered as a grim legend of blood and steel. My location was forgotten in time. My steed, Dark Blaze, wandered through the desert, waiting for my return. He survived throughout the years because of his incredible strength and his life was connected to mine.? ? A group of unwary demons wandered into the ruins where I was buried. They were lost in the desert. By mistake, to my benefit though, they entered my tomb. One of them, an Acolyte, was driven by a force to venture deeper into my tomb. There, it broke the spell, which had been weakened already by time. I rose from my deep slumber and killed the intruders.? ? I then set out from my tomb and called Dark Blaze. Together we set out. I was thirsting the blood of Hunters and demons alike on my blades. For months, I have been wandering through the cities of the world, slaying all fools that stand in my way. I seek to revive my kingdom and to destroy Hunters and demons alike so their conflict would finally end and the world would be in peace.? ? Most of the world has forgotten my legend. Now I?m known as the Masked Phantom.? Ziarre sat there, surprised that he would divulge such details of his life to her. But why? Why would he not kill her? She was the two most things he hated: a Hunter and a demon. But why? It didn?t make sense at all. Ziarre slid down into the blankets further, feeling slightly nauseous. This was too surreal to be real. Her head spun slightly. All she wanted was for it to be over. No more. She was sick of all the fighting. She wanted peace for the Hunters. For Phoenix, Zet, Aria, Rebecca and, especially Night. All she wanted?.was for it?.to end. OOC: Sorry its so long.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Red] [FONT=Century Gothic]Ziarre?s wings instinctively drew in front of her. The halberd pierced her dark feathery wings. She cried out in pain as dark feathers scattered everywhere. Some flew in the face of Phoenix, causing him to be distracted by the loss of sight. With Phoenix now distracted, Ziarre wrenched the halberd from her wings. She felt violently sick. With one wing almost massacred and the other slightly featherless, Ziarre decided it was time to escape. She looked at Phoenix as he shifted, ready for another attack. ? Look at what you have done Phoenix?you really don?t want to hurt me,? she said. ? PHOENIX NO LONGER EXISTS! WE NOW HAVE POSSESSION OVER HIS BODY! WE, THE WHITE COUNCIL, WILL NOW DESTROY THE HALF-BREED ZIARRE!? ? I?d like to see you try?? Ziarre suddenly launched upon Phoenix, grabbed his arms and flared her body. Flames surrounded her body, but these weren?t normal flames. They were white. Phoenix started to scream. He thrashed around wildly but Ziarre held on. ? Phoenix?I know you?re in there?take your own body back?take it now while I am weakening them?? Ziarre cooed to Phoenix. ? NO! YOU CANNOT DEFEAT US, THE WHITE COUNCIL!? ? Yes I can and I will. I will help Phoenix regardless of your powers!? ? NOOOO!? Phoenix?s body went limp. With all the strength she had left, Ziarre flew up to the rooftops and laid him down gently. Her wings bled profusely. She felt weak and ill from the halberd?s strike. Whatever that weapon was, it wasn?t like anything she had seen. Ziarre stood up shaking and walked over to the edge. She had to go back and get Rath. Surely by now he has healed. Ziarre spread the remainder of her wings and jumped off the edge and soared towards the cathedral. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]" Excellent!"" Sakura said, " Now we've all agreed to fight these bad guys, we have to designate a meeting area." " How about the park near the school down the road?" Rin suggested. " I have no problem with that," Max added. " Is that all right with everyone?" Sakura asked. They all nodded. " Good. Then lets head over there. I don't want to be near school for any more than 6 hours a day." The group rounded up their Monsters and headed over to the park. When they arrived, they found themselves in the middle of a Monster Network Tournament. There were players of all ages and sorts battling with a vast array of Monsters. " Wow! I didn't know MN has tournaments!" Chiyo said. " Neither did I," Imric added. " Well, I'm going to enter. Anything to get my Zephyr stronger so we can stop these LIVE members," Sakura said and ran off to sign-up. Takahiro shook his head. " Always too enthusiastic..." ________________________________________________________ Sakura joined up in the queue and Zephyr transported back into her MC. Monster Network seemed to be more popular than she thought. Once everyone before her had signed up, she came to the table. A women sat behind it. " Welcome to MN's first Japanese Tournament! Please plug your MC into the computer on your left," she said with a smooth female voice. She was dressed in a royal blue female suit. Sakura did as she was instructed. Zephyr came up on the screen, sleeping. " Storm....Zephyr...." the woman said quietly. Sakura whirled around to her. It seemed she knew something about them but she couldn't quite pick it. The woman looked up at Sakura. " Well Storm, thank-you for entering. Your first battle will be against SandSlider. Find him you and can begin the battle straight away." Sakura unplugged her MC from the computer and placed it in her pocket. " Thanks." With that, Sakura wandered off to find the player SandSlider. OOC: Ok guys. Everyone has to enter and have a battle against a person of your choice. Stop your post mid-way through your battle. Then something will happen. Happy battling. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Arial]Sakura and Aria were talking when they saw two of their classmates approach them, Max and Rin. " Hey you guys!" Sakura said. " Sakura?" Rin asked, " I didn't know you had a Monster! Was it you that sent the message?" " Yeah, it was me. I thought some other players might have some of the same problems as me." " Yeah. Did you have a run-in with players that have much more powerful Monsters than us?" Max asked. " Yeah. Larka got really injured," Aria said. " I know. Zephyr took quite a beating too!" Sakura said, " But that's the least of our problems. Lets just wait to see if any others turn up. I'm sure there are other players with Platinum Monsters." While the players talked, their monsters played around on the grass beside the stairs. Passerbyers stared at the four tumbling, playing monsters. They were indeed a strange sight. A small white sphinx, a ball of frost, a small wind dragon and a small wind-lightning dragon tumbling around on the grass. Two other teens appeared. They approached the group. Apparently, they had seen the playing Monsters and knew straight away that this was the meeting. " Hi, I'm Sakura. I'm the one that sent the message. And you guys are?" " I'm Chiyo. My Monster is Lady Kabuki. She's a samurai," said the girl. "I'm Imric. My Monster is Raaptah. He's a fire lizard," said the boy. " Nice to meet you. As you already know, I'm Sakura and my Monster is Zephyr, a lightning sphinx." " I'm Aria and my Monster is Larka, a wind dragon." " My name is Max and Frost is my Monster." " Rin and my lightning-wind dragon, Uindo." " Ok, now we've introduced everyone, I'll get into it," Sakura started, " You've all heard of Platinum Monsters - we all have them. And these people that attacked us, it couldn't be all concindence." " Firstly, Platinum Monsters are the most powerful Monsters in all of Monster Network. They are the rarest and have special powers that no other Monster in the games have." " Now, these poeple that attacked us. They are from an organisation of players that call themselves LIVE. In reality, if you turn the word back-to-front, it spells EVIL. Quite ingenious. But that's not the point. The leader is the one that disrupted the coding of Monster Network. I'm heard rumours that he was the one who had the original idea of the game and is out for revenge. I've also heard that the Platinum Monsters are the only ones keeping the game's coding together. That's why they're after us, the minions of LIVE." " So, I propose we join up as a team and get to the bottom of this mess. What do you all say?" [/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=Red]Ziarre dodged the strike swiftly and ran around Night. ? I betrayed you!!! How dare you make such a claim!! It was you and all the other hunters that betrayed me!!? She summoned her black sword and confronted Night with it. They attacked each other, their swords ringing out into the night. Ziarre leapt back and whirled her wings around in attack. They caught Night by surprise and disarmed him. His sword skidded over to Ziarre. ? Ziarre! You give me my sword back! You filth!? ? No! Let me explain first!? ? Why would I let you explain?! You betrayed us for power! You betrayed your friends?.no, your family!? Ziarre?s eyes flared. The temperature of the air around her started to heat up. ? Night, you have no idea what it feels like to be weak! You were always so strong! You never felt helpless or overpowered! That?s what I felt like when I hunted. I felt like the Hunters, especially you, didn?t believe in my powers, didn?t believe that I was worthy enough to be in the Hunters. Do you know how that feels??!?!!! So I found someone who would believe in my powers. I know that I am strong, stronger than most others. But you, the Hunters, didn?t believe that. Boru did! That why I changed! That?s why I left you people that didn?t believe! Now do you!! Do you believe that I am the spirit of the fire, the very essence of it. That?s what Boru made me feel! Even though I am under his control, I still am me ? the fire. I still kill demons when I get the chance and Acolytes.? With that, Ziarre threw Night?s sword over to him. He caught it in surprise. Then, he looked into her eyes. A fire, burning, flickering intensely, flamed within them. He had never seen her like this before. Did the Hunters really suppress her powers? He shook his head. No, they couldn?t have. But one thing, where?s Rath? ? Where?s Rath Ziarre?? ? Don?t you dare talk about Rath. Your Shirow almost tore him apart. Rath has been the only one who has stuck beside me through everything ? thick and thin. He has been the only one.? Tears of darkness fell from her eyes. ? You don?t know what it feels like Night. I used to look up to you so much. I hoped you would help me become what I am now ? the essence of the fire. But you were always so self-absorbed in the fight against demons, you didn?t take notice of me. That was until I became like this ? as powerful as I am. I used to love?.? Ziarre quickly shut her mouth. She let too much slip. Regaining her composure, Ziarre opened her wings and took off up onto the rooftops, leaving Night to his own confused thoughts. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Blue][FONT=Arial]Bright light entered Sakura?s room through her window. The warmth of the sun?s light woke Sakura gently. She sat up in her bed. At the end of the bed, Zephyr was curled up like a cat. He looked much better than last night. When Sakura had brought him last night, he was bleeding a little. She?d tended his wounds with some medical stuff from the bathroom. After that, she looked for her brother Takahiro and found he hadn?t returned home, which was very strange. And, somehow overnight, Zephyr?s slightly plucked wings had re-feathered and his wounds had healed entirely. Sakura stroked Zephyr along his back. He opened his big golden eyes. ? Sakura?? ? Morning Zephyr, do you feel any better?? ? Much better!? ? That?s good. What happened last night?? ? I don?t know.? ? Yeah, I don?t understand either. But, I think there are other players that have Platinum monsters and have been attacked. That I?m sure of. We have to send messages to all that have been attacked. Something?s not right. We have to figure out what Zephyr.? Zephyr nodded as he stood up and stretched his back. Sakura got out of bed and dressed herself for another school-day. After she had breakfast, Sakura sent messages to every player in Tokyo, asking them if they had been attacked and had heard of Platinum Monsters. She had also written to meet at 4:00pm at the entrance stairs at Central Tokyo High-School. ___________________________________________________ Sakura lent against the guide rail of the stairs. Her backpack was at her feet. She had summoned Zephyr out of her sky-blue MC as they waited for the other players. Sakura shuffled her feet around nervously. ? I hope they come. I want to tell them what we?ve found out Zephyr.? ? Don?t worry Sakura, be patient. I?m sure they?ll come.? He nuzzled her shoulder as he stood on the rail. ? I hope so. I don?t want another run-in with that girl with that gigantic eagle.? The pair of them waited anxiously for the arrival of the other players. ______________________________________________________________________________ OOC: Ok guys. As the post suggests, we need to meet and join up as a team to defeat the bad guys which are not entirely revealed yet. Just arrive and I?ll explain everything! ;) [/FONT][/COLOR]
