After an exceedingly long flight, Zane finally arrived at an airport in a rural-looking area of Japan... But looking around, he then realized it was a little too rural. In fact, it was kind of in the middle of nowhere.

At the airport was an elderly looking man, not too old that he's hit senility yet but probably around his 50s or 60s Zane presumed. He was wearing a strange monk-like robe, with a sun symbol on it surrounded by many other small symbols which Zane assumed meant nothing. He figured it must have just been the logo of the company that makes it or something.

"You must be Zane Emery. Please follow me."

"Yep that's me!" Zane replied, smiling brightly. He then realized that the man was already halfway out the airport. "Hey! Wait up!" He called, running to catch up with the man.

"Man, for an old guy you're pretty quick."

The man was silent. He just kept walking, sternly and with purpose.

"Why are you so quiet..?"

The man still didn't respond. After walking for a bit, Zane finally became aware of his surroundings, realizing that they were approaching a forest. "Hey... Where are we going?"

"Must you ask so many questions?" The robed man retorted in a voice as stern as his walk. Now that he had finally spoke, Zane had come to realize that this guy was kind of intimidating...

"Jeeze, sorry. I didn't mean to..."

Zane was pretty quiet for the remainder of the walk after that.

Zane had lost track of where they may have been in relation to the airport's position a long time ago. He wasn't that good with directions anyway; in fact, people had been telling him his whole life that he was kind of an airhead. He didn't like being called such things, figuring it was just a polite way of being called dumb. But, dumb or not, Zane was always good at being himself, and that's all that mattered.

"We're here." The stern man broke the silence, allowing Zane to realize that they now stood at the foot of a large, woodland clearing, and in the center, a large decorative dojo surrounded by a lake.

"Oh my gosh..!! No way! This is the academy!??!" Zane figured by the looks of it that this place was thousands of years old. He also felt sort of a "magical" presence.. Which didn't make a lot of sense to him, but he went with it. He suddenly found himself excited with butterflies.

"Welcome to the Zodi Academy."

Kaida arrived at the beatiful academy and was in total awwe.
"It's gorgous!" she exclaimed and the sten man took her there rolled his eyes. She jumped up and down with exictment. "Thank you!" she thanked the man and bowed to him. She grabbed her stuff and started to run towards the dojo, the skirt of her old school uniform flapped in the breeze. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a cute boy and stopped. 'Hmmm..' she thought. 'Time to make a new friend.' she thought and went to him. "Hi I'm Kaida. Nice to meet you." she said trying not to get lost in the boys eyes.

"It's about time," Kurama said as he walked onto the Academy grounds. The place was breathtaking to say the least. He looked around taking in the beauty of the place and then turned to the man, "thank you," He said with a slight nod. He grabbed his suitcases and started walking towards the Academy.

When he got close enough, he saw a girl and a boy, one would deem them both cute but Kurama played hard to get and simply smirked as he walked towards them. He got there just in time to hear the girl say her name.

"Hi, I'm Kaida. Nice to meet you," She said. One would think that with her odd as she didn't look the boy straight in the eyes but rather avoided them slightly. Kurama chuckled and smiled, "well hello there, it seems we are all new to this place, I'm Kurama, nice to meet you Kaida," He said as he nodded in her direction, "and you are?" He asked Zane as he looked in his direction.

If one was to look at Kurama, one would see that he was devouring the boy with his eyes, undressing him with the sexual toxicity that his eyes where giving off at the moment. He simply smirk and placed a finger at the tip of his mouth between his teeth, and continued looking at the boy.

"Well he is rather cute, but Kaida was here first, so he's off the menu," Kurama thought as he laughed on the inside but kept a straight profile and demeanor.

"Hello, Kaida. Hello.... other guy. What did you say your name was?"

Zane could pretty much tell that they were the first three to arrive at the academy, but that didn't shake the thought from his mind that there was something more to this place... He was expecting a whole school of magically gifted teens, but so far there were only three. Why so few?

Zane decided to be a little playful. As he shook Kaida's hand, he made eye contact with her, allowing him to turn on the charm. He didn't go full force, but he naturally had the help of his abilities to give him strong charisma even when he wasn't activating his powers. As he caught her eyes, he smiled enticingly. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

He tried the same thing with the new boy, but found he was having a little trouble... As he made eye contact with him while shaking his hand, he would have normally felt in control on account of his charisma. But instead, he felt the opposite; he felt disillusioned, but at the same time, completely smitten. He felt as if he were for once on the opposite end of the situation; the one BEING charmed rather than being the CHARMER.

"What the.." he thought to himself during this brief spell. He shook it off however, and a smile returned to his face.

"My name is Kurama," a calm voice replied as his eyes continued to take in all that Zane had to offer.

He smirked as the boy shook Kaida's hand and simply crossed his arms. When the boy shook his hand however, he felt a tug of some sort. He looked into the eyes of Zane and smiled wondering what this boy had up his sleeve. He started acting weird, seemingly smitten with Kurama who simply burst into laughter.

"Umm, okay," He said as he regained his composure, "what was that all about Zane?" He asked as he looked towards the school, "anyone feel like walking in?"

Angel looked at the place in amazement. She was really glad, the place had a nice aura. The more she looked at it the more it was pulling her in. She saw a group of kids by the entrance. A girl and two guys, intresting. She didn't have much choice but to head their way. She was careful not to run or walk to fast or her skirt would've gone up and it would be emberrasing.

"Hello there" she said with a smile. The sun was high in the sky and she had a lot of energy. She couldn't explain it but she liked it, never being tired.

"I'm Angel, nice to meet yall" she said as she bowed her head, she had her suit case on both hands infront of her.

Azalea walks out, peeking through a whole in the wall that the rocks willingly and lovingly obliged to make, to see three people, more of the same type she was, unless they were expecting a pleasant boarding school experience with high level education. <Well,> she thinks to herself. <It is education...> She closes up the hole, silently thanking the rocks, and walking out to show herself to the newcomers.

"Hello," she says, cautiously approaching the group. "Are you going to attend Zodi Academy, too?"

The flight… ah, the flight. Chloe had always loved flying, her parents usually unable to afford it without having to go on a business trip. Mrs. Kwiat was an archaeologist, searching for new sites that had never been excavated before. It was a very capitally draining occupation, as was her father’s. He was unemployed and wasted most of his time in the local casinos, but that never bothered Chloe or her mother. The mister had a troubled childhood, something he never spoke about when around Chloe, but she was determined to make herself forget about it. It was always better to see one’s parents as invincible, and Chloe planned on keeping it that way.

The only thing that Chloe had ever hated about flying was the drastically guarded airports in which everything you carried was scanned time and time again and you were practically bound to be searched by hand when you got an inch too close to another person. Yet, there was something magical about airports that she always got a whiff of, although she never get around to discovering the source.

Then, the arrival on the campus… Chloe never saw an area more desolate in her entire life. There were five people there and they seemed to be getting along famously, but she couldn’t shake off a weird feeling about them. She glanced herself over as to make a better impression. Her dark jeans were still fitting perfectly, her short-sleeved, red and black blouse was still comfortable although slightly wrinkled, and her honey wheat hair fell over her shoulders under the hat that matched her shirt. She moved slightly closer, still hesitant, her black leather boots clacking against the floors.

Zodi Academy looked pleasant enough, but were these all of the students? How did that work? She expected a whole lot of talented teenagers to be present. “Is this it?” She wondered out loud. Then she suddenly covered her mouth as she noticed her blunder.

Arisa strolled leisurely through the trees toward the academy, as they began to thin out, revealing the Zodi Academy, Arisa paused for a moment, freezing as she stared wide eyed at the massive structure. She had to admit, it was impressive, but she still wasn't exactly overjoyed about having to spend her time here. Spotting a group of teens clustered around the entrance, Arisa smirked slightly, squinting her eyes as she fought her way inside one of the girl's mind, struggling to pull her thoughts toward her. She stood in utter concentration, brow furrowed and lips turned down as she read through her thoughts.

Drawing back after a second, she turned her gaze away from the girl, the smirk on her face much sharper at this point. She had been thinking about the boy that stood in front of her, Arisa couldn't see his face from where she stood because his back was turned on her, but according to the girl's thoughts he must have been pretty good looking. She was trying hard now not to get lost in his gaze, which Arisa could help but burst into a fit of laughter over.

"That should be the last of it," Mizu whispered quietly to himself as he closed his suitcase before he took one last look at his bedroom, before he picked up his suitcase and backpack before exiting the room, softly closing the door behind him. Taking a deep breath, Mizu carried both of his luggage before he slowly proceeded to descend the long staircase downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, Mizu walked over the the closet, removed his midnight blue wool coat from the coat rack and slowly slipped it on. Mizu then walked to the front door, opened it and took one last look of his house. "Goodbye, thanks for taking care of me..." the only response he got was silence since his parents had left for work earlier that morning. Mizu walked out of his house, locked the door after himself and slowly trudge to the bus stop, taking in the sights around, trying to remember as much as he could about his neighborhood.

The wait for the bus wasn't that long, but the moment he stepped onto the bus Mizu nervously found a seat, sat down and started to look around at the different people. He proceeded to do that until something caught his eyes, causing him to reached for his bag and pull out his sketch book. Mizu the began to sketch a picture of a mother and son, happily talking to each other. Just as when he was adding the last details, his subjects stood up and stepped out onto the bus stop. He turned and watched as the bus pulled away and the figures of the mother and child grow more and more distant before he turned around again and looked straight in front and replaced his sketch book back in his bag.

The bus ride took a while before it stopped on the pier, there Mizu then switched to a boat which then took him to an island. During the boat ride Mizu spent the majority of the time drawing what ever he could and when he arrived, Mizu picked up his things and stepped out into the green fields of the country. Pulling a map from his backpack, Mizu began to walk in the direction that the map directed, he went through a large field and jungle of trees while taking his time, stopping to draw a few things here and there, before he caught sight of what looked like a temple. As he proceeded, the temple grew larger and larger with each step, in a short amount of time, Mizu found himself in the front entrance where a group of teenagers were gathered around each other. Not sure if it was the right place or not, Mizu nervously walked towards the group and began to fidget as he asked, "um, excuse me but I was wondering if you could tell me if this is Zodi Academy?"

Overwhelming, yep that was the word to describe how Kurama was feeling at the moment. Not only had he just introduced himself to two strangers, one of which was cute and interesting and the other of which was a girl, yes a girl the one sex that he took no part in. He smiled and smiled as more and more students or what he assumed where students, approached the three of them.

"Hi, I'm Kurama, nice to meet you," Was all he said as he looked into each other their faces, remembering all their facial features. There was Angel, then Azalea, then Chloe who looked lost and blurted out if this was all there was attending the Academy which made Kurama laugh. He turned around in a complete 360 and caught sight of others arriving.

There was Arisa who was a beautiful girl but was standing at a distance as if sizing each of them up. Kurama shrugged and simply waved at each of them as they arrived. "Yes, I'm pretty sure we are the students of Zodi Academy, isn't it breath taking?" He asked smiling and getting acquainted with his fellow peers.

Then it happened, the one guy that just took his breath away upon his arrival at Zodi Academy. He was somewhat off in the distance but Kurama watched as he walked up slowly, a stride unlike any other, which gave away his sexuality making Kurama smirk. When the boy finally approached them, Kurama made sure to answer first.

"I think it is, we are all here for a reason and I am pretty sure that this place is Zodi Academy," He smiled a bit allowing his eyes to sparkle in the sunlight, "I'm Kurama by the way."

Arisa recovered from her fit of laughter, deciding to introduce herself to the others gathered around the entrance to the Zodi Academy. Strolling over to them, she stayed just outside of the group, smiling charmingly.
"Yo, I'm Arisa." she introduced herself, adjusting her hat. Taking a closer look at each one she smiled as her eyes came to rest on Azalea who approached the group timidly.

Smirking, Arisa grabbed her by the arm and pulled her toward herself, her fingers just barely caressing Azalea's breast as she did so.
"Wow, you're just adorable. I think I've found a new victim..." Arisa smirked. Teasing people was one of her favorite hobbies, especially pretty girls. She was sure living with Azalea, Chloe, Kaida and all of the other girls would result in great fun for her.

"Um. It was nothing, hehe" He nervously dodged Kurama's question, not wanting to embarrass himself.

Before he realized, more and more people started arriving.

Zane eagerly went around the group from person to person, shaking their hands and getting their names.

"Oh my gosh.. This is so exciting! I can't wait to see what the dorms are like, or what classes we have.... Is this everyone?" He was actually hoping for more students, as more people equals more fun in Zane's perspective.

For some reason, he took particular attraction to Kaida; he couldn't explain it. "I LOVE your outfit..!" He complimented her, trying to be sociable. "Isn't this place amazing?! I mean it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but in my opinion, that just adds to the coolness! I mean, there's a pond and everything!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Zane noticed a girl who had shown up just moments before grabbing the girl named Azalea and pulling her in. His one eyebrow raised in curiosity as he eyed the strange girl up and down. He didn't really know what to make of her, but he found himself a tad put off by her ego. Shaking these thoughts, his mind brought him back to the strange feeling of butterflies he was having, and how they were getting stronger with each new teen who arrived.

"Um.. Is it just me.." he started, addressing the whole group of kids. "or does it feel like there's something a bit strange going on here..? Like, MORE than the fact that we are at a dojo in the middle of a deserted forest.."

He wasn't sure how to phrase what he was feeling; he got the subtle sense that the other students could feel it too, but he wanted to get it out there in the open to make sure it wasn't just him going insane.

Arisa looked back at Zane who adressed the entire group of students, her grip on Azalea loosening slightly.
"A strange feeling?" Arisa said aloud, thinking to herself as she placed her chin between her pointer finger and thumb. She had noticed a strange presence about the other students, although she hadn't really given it much though.
"Yeah, I think I know what'cha mean." Arisa said, nodding.

She turned back toward Azalea and pulled her closer to her, grabbing her around the shoulders and holding her tight so that she couldn't get away.
Suddenly turning back toward Zane, she frowned, curious about his confused facial expression. Eyes narrowing, she focused her eyes on him, taking in his energy and using it to sort through his thoughts, she could just barely read what he was thinking but it was a little fuzzy. He had a subtle sense that the others could feel the same strange presence as he could.

Kiyoshi stretched as he got off the boat which dropped him off on the island said to hide the Zodi Academy, and dragged his gaze slowly over the island. Sighing as he only noticed the lush forest instead, he picked up his bag and started towards a general direction. Here was where Kiyoshi decided that he should take his time to relax and explore, finding that there was no need to rush as it was only the first day and everyone says that being tardy on the first day is always okay! d(^ ^)b

Yet he quickly regretted his choice in leisure time as he soon grew tired and started to notice how hot the day actually was. But judging how far I've actually gone, it's safe to say that I'm almost to the Zodi Academy ... Kiyoshi thought as he noticed how the vegetation was slowly thinning out and how the path was easier to walk on. Shifting the weight of his bag to his other shoulder, Kiyoshi continued his trek towards the academy before stopping, his eyes catching on something that didn't seem like it belong in this forest. Upon closer inspection did he find out that it was a boy, maybe around his age, and couldn't help but feel a questionable attraction to him. "Wonder who he is, must be a student at the Zodi Academy considering that no one else would be on this island..." Kiyoshi muttered quietly to himself as he tried to control the light blush on his face. Maybe i should keep an eye on him...

Kiyoshi couldn't help but chuckle at how the boy would stop every few steps to sketch something down before moving on and found it adorable how he seemed so shy, introducing himself to the group of teenagers at the gates of the Zodi Academy. He stopped to take in the scene of the academy, noticing how amazing it looked, but also how lonely it seemed since there were so few people present. But he quickly snapped his attention back to the group as he noticed a new male talking to the unknown boy he was keeping an eye on. Koyshi felt confused, he didn't know why he felt so jealous, so angry at the new male just because he was answering the question the timid boy asked. The overwhelming feeling to step in and challenge the male, to protect the shy boy. Well i do like a challenge...

Quickly walking over to the group, Kiyoshi put his arm around the boy's shoulders and looked at the other male, "Sorry, but i saw him first walking through the mountains. So, but may i ask for your name?" He said as he turned to the boy he held around the shoulders, "Mine is Kiyoshi." He then gave the boy a warm smile before giving the other male a challenging look. Breaking his gaze with the other male, he noticed that another teen named Zane was going around the group and introducing himself, "Hi Zane, my name's Kiyoshi and it's a pleasure to meet you. But now that you mention it i do feel something strange since I've got here."

-ooc- Just had to incorporate the fact the Capricorn has a strong attraction to Cancer :D-

Zane continued to eye the girl confusedly, but he was grateful that she spoke up, admitting that she also thought that there was an attraction; to him, it felt almost as if he were supposed to be in the presence of these people, as if it were destiny that the whole group should be friends.

Zane eagerly turned as a new kid (who he saw was hugging another new kid) decided to introduce himself. He got a little confused because he was holding the other boy, but he still ran up and greeted him.

"Hi Kiyoshi!! My name's Zane, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Zane shook Kiyoshi's hand excitedly. As he made eye contact with Kiyoshi, he could tell the boy was already falling under his spell; he had learned to recognize it by now, by the subtle hints in the other person's eyes, when they were becoming captivated in Zane's. It was kind of annoying; Zane didn't have to consciously activate his powers in order to partially enthrall somebody under his charms, and it sometimes bothered him when they did. Sometimes he wished he could turn it off. It was especially a problem because he was used to making firm eye contact with people for the whole first part of his life.. the part where he DIDN'T randomly develop magical powers. To Zane, looking into peoples' eyes was his way of peering into their minds; he thinks of it as a good way to feel people out. But now, in this state, he couldn't really do that - and it was increasingly difficult when caught up in all the excitement of meeting so many new people. Sure, he loved the attention that he would get from the people he made eye contact with, but he could never really shake a silent insecurity that these people only liked him as a result of his powers, and not for who he was as a person. Which reminded him...

Zane turned back to the rest of the group, addressing them all again. "Umm.. I don't mean to sound weird here... but... does anyone else have... magical... powers ...... ... . . ?" He winced as he asked this, trying desperately to not look like a fool.

(( Lol, so far it seems like everybody has an attraction to cancer! :P Booo.. where's Aries at!? :'[ ))

(I'm here lol )

Angel was looking around at everyone as they said hi to each other. She did feel kind of strange when Zane had asked if the place seemed kind of weird. She didn't notice till then, it felt as if the place was calling for her, pulling her in. More people were coming now, but not a lot like she thought was going to be.

When Zane asked about them having magical powers she tensed up. It looked like almost everyone else did. "Mmm I do" she said as she raised her hand half way up the air and then placed it back down. She pulled down her skirt, it seemed to be going up little by little.

Kurama simply shrugged his shoulders at the action of the lesbian girl, whom he would look out for due to her confident attitude. He smirked and simply sighed as he crossed his arms and introduced himself to everyone that had arrived so far.

Kurama, still taking in the boy's frame, was shocked when another came up behind the boy and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. He smirked as he knew the one who introduced himself as Kiyoshi, was merely challenging him.

Kurama glared back with the same intensity Kiyoshi had used and simply took a step forward, "Name's Kurama and I like a challenge so bring it," He said as he slowly backed away and kept his eyes on Kiyoshi. He was cute as well so either way he was sure to have fun at Zodi Academy.

Zane, who Kurama was somewhat attracted to, began speaking and asked if anyone had magical powers. Kurama thought he was the only one but then it hit him that everyone in the group had magical powers.

He smiled, "well I do, stand back and I'll show you," He said as he pulled a simple rose out of his hair. He sniffed it and thrust it as if it where a whip. It glowed brightly before bursting into a long green whip with thorns. It wrapped around him and he held it sexually to the side as he looked at Kiyoshi. Maybe I should whip him for taking my potential man, the thought crossed Kurama's mind but he ignored it and with a twitch of his wrist, the whip went sailing past Kiyoshi, very close to his head, so close that he would have felt the wind from it.

With another twitch of his wrist and bud at the end of the whip crashed into the ground. He pulled back and the whip erupted from the ground causing large rocks to levitate around it's length. He twirled a bit and the rocks shot towards the field in front of the Academy. If one was to look at Kurama while performing these movements, it would look as if he was dancing and the whip was his partner.

He moved and danced around making the whip sing and strike with beauty and ferocity. Then as if tired, the whip vanished and Kurama burst into a swarm of beautiful butterflies, one of which brushed the cheeks of everyone in the area. Just as it had happened had it ended. The swarm began to gather and started to form a humanoid shape. There was a flash of green light and Kurama stood once more in front of the group.

He had showed them just enough for them to get the jest of what he was capable of.

Slowly he turned before winking at the two boys and slowly he passed Zane winking at him as well before he settled on the wall and waited to see what everyone else was capable of.

Walking through the forest he glanced back at the so called butler or helping hand."Your slowing me down, hurry it up or ill leave you behind"? The man looked shocked and hurried his pace behind Nomad. The two walked further into the forest until they came upon a temple which looked like it was occupied with men and women around his age or younger. Glancing around he took in the environment he would be living in, warm but not to hot the ground was still moist from the morning dew and would soften his feet when he ran. Turning his head back to look at the man who showed him the way here he spoke softly "Take my bags to my room, I want to have a look around before I make my self comfortable"? The man nodded and grabbed his bags and headed into the dojo with out Nomad.

He scanned the area for a possible place to sit and think on what he was doing here. Finding a pond he would sit down and cross his legs and close his eyes and begin to relax and enjoy the silence and only listen to the environments orchestra of organic music.

(wanted to get a post in,it;s not my best but it will do)

"I think it is, we are all here for a reason and I am pretty sure that this place is Zodi Academy."

Mizu looked at the male with short black hair who responded to him.

"I'm Kurama by the way."

When he male introduced himself, Mizu saw how he allowed sunlight to make his eye sparkle when he smiled. Returning the gesture with a nervous smile of his own, "um hello, my name is Mizu, um Ishikawa Mizu please to meet you all." Keeping his on the ground, Mizu bowed to the group, and quickly straightened himself up when he heard Zane's question. "I'm not really sure, although I must admit that I somehow feel lighter here than when I did back home..."

'I wonder if it was due to the stress and-' Before he could finish his trait of thought, Mizu suddenly felt someone's arm around his shoulders, turning Mizu caught sight of a male who appeared to be the same age as he was.

"Sorry, but i saw him first walking through the mountains."i] Mizu noticed the look he gave Kurama as he said that, but before he could object or say anything, the teen directed his attention to him. [i]"So, but may i ask for your name? Mine's Kiyoshi." Just as he said that Kiyoshi gave Kurama another look, but this one looked like he was challenging him. Mizu wnted to crawl in a hole when he heard Kurama's response to the challenge, which caused him to struggle in hopes of getting Kiyoshi to let him go, just as he answered Zane's question.

Mizu stopped sturggling when he noticed how Kurama pulled out a rose and suddenly turned it to a whip. Mizu watched in amazement as Kurama displayed his abilites before both him and his whip disappered only to be replaced by butterflies, one which brushed past his cheek. When the butterflies materialized into Kurama, Mizu couldn't help but applaud at the teen's abilities. When he went and sat down, Mizu was brought back to reality for a minute and realized that Kiyoshi still had his arm over his shoulder.

"Uh, my name's Mizu and can you please let me go?" Mizu could feel his cheeks going red at the physical contact, and as he finally go free of the teen. Turning to the group, Mizu kept his eyes to the ground as he told them of what he could do.

"What I can do isn't really that great, I'm just able to materialize water into weapons and use it as a means of communication." He looked up at them for a minute and gave them a small smile. "It's nothing special."
