Tichondrius paused outside the gates to his house. The silvery steel wrought gates gave off the impression of implacablility. Tichondrius knew that they were back up by an advanced defense system. Still, knowning that he could penetrate it easily made it seem ... well, weak. Shrugging he entered the gates, and walked up the (ridiculously long) drive way to the house proper. Once he did, he stood outside, debating how to go in.
 
Going over to a friend's place for the first time could be an excitement for anyone- and it was no different for Kagyou. But truth be told, Kagyou felt more lost than anything else. Not that the fact that she doesn't have a sense of direction helped much. She knew she was nearing for she could see the gates at a distant, but everything still seem quite far. But then, Kagyou's definition of far is quite. Well, near.

Finally reaching the silver gates, Kagyou paused and stared at it.

"Tanrei," she shrugged, trying to get the albino raven to take flight. But it merely flapped it's wings, regained balance and continued to perch upon her shoulder. "Go see if anyone's home!"

The raven gave an undelighted glare, and took flight into the sky, and when it noticed Tichondrius, it perched gracefully onto his shoulder and cawed at the man.
 
As Tanrei landed on his shoulder, Tichondrius "Hnn'd", and whistled. Hayate answered quickly, pulling his flight in, and landing on his other should. "Go with Tanrei and guide Kagyou here." He screeched in response, and the two birds took to the skies. Moving up to the mansion, he pushed the door open, and called out, "I'm back!".

"Master Illitharis. How glad am I to see you again," came a voice.

Grinning, he turned towards the source of the voice. "Good to see you too, Denver." The head butler of this mansion bowed to him. Two servants came up, taking away Tichondrius' bags. "Your room has been prepared, as has the guest rooms. Might I ask how many people we will be expecting?"

Tichondrius laughed. "No need to be so formal, old man."

Denver smiled, straightened up, and slapped him on the back. "It's good to see you again, boy. So how many people are coming?"

"Damned if I know. I invited quite a few, but as to how many will actually come ..." Then a thought entered his mind. "Oh yes. Send someone out to meet one of my friends, a girl, and have the training section prepared just in case."

Denver nodded, then waved a hand towards outside. Another servant appeared and exited the mansion. "Why not go to your room, I'm sure you must be tired."

"Nah, I'll wait for my friend ..." Looking around curiously, he seemed to be looking for something. Shrugging, he whistled, but a different one from the one he used to communicate with Hayate. Long and sharp, he whistled. Soon, he heard padded footsteps behind him. Smiling, he turned around, and saw Kerberos. The tiger regarded him regally, and Tichondrius laughed. "You don't fool me you big softie!" Moving forward, he wrapped his arms around the tiger's head, and rubbed behind his ears. The tiger instantly dissolved into a big kitten, purring against him.
 
Hoshi Koshiba arrived at her destination looking like she was taking a trip to the mountains regather than to a friends house. She had forwent coloring her hair leaving it a raven black. One her shoulders was everything she would need for the trip. Hoshi stood at the airport wondering who it was exactly who would pick her up. People had gotten it wrong when they thought that she disliked the white haired girl. Hoshi didn't know her well enough to like or dislike her. She just seemed like the kind of person she would have bullied had she been her former self.

Hoshi's bag was big enough that she could sit on it and that she did. Hoshi crossed her leg at the knee ignoring the looks from everything with a male genome that she got by doing so. Hoshi was used to being looked at in such ways even if she eleven on the border of twelve. It was like this that she waited to be taken to Ti's house. She hoped that everything would turn out well. Now and the semester to come. A semester that she hoped would come with out Henric Lee.
 
A man approached her. He had salt and pepper hair, and a rather fatherly face. "Hoshi Koshiba, correct? Master Illitharis has requested I escort you to the mansion. I am Denver. If you will follow me ..." Picking up her bag effortlessly, he strode towards the exit. Shortly before he exited, however, a quiet voice called out from behind him, "Denver-san."

The man paused, puzzled, and looked behind, and spotted a small girl, a year younger than Hoshi, standing there. On her wrist was a bracelet with silver and black crystals, while on her other arm she wore a braid with several symbols hanging from it, a miniture chain, a droplet, a flame and a crystal. "Ah, Lady Sakura. It has been a long time. Where you going to the mansion?"

Several moments passed before the girl nodded slowly. The man hesitated, before asking, "Are you lost?" The girl looked at Hoshi, then at the man, but didn't say anything. Denver sighed quietly and said, "Would you like me to drive you there?" Her face brightened, and she nodded slowly again. "Then follow me." The girl fell into step beside Hoshi.

"Lady Tsukihime Sakura," Denver said to Hoshi's unasked question. "She was one of our clients, and is now a family friend. Though she is rather ... clueless at times. I've heard she will be attending Hogwarts next year as well."
 
Rhianne stood just outside the gates to the mansion of Tichondrius..She wondered if he is at home and if he is,would he be happy to see her??It was her birthday that day and planned to spend her birthday not like the past birthdays she had..She whistled for Peakes and let him flew around the mansion.."Look for Tichondrius,will ya??"
 
[This is the part I wish I had a mini board.]

Hayate was soaring high in the sky, when it spied a familiar looking bird. Calling out sharply, he dipped his left wing twice. Tichondrius, his attention attracted by the call, whistled in response. Putting down his tea, he snapped his fingers to attract the attention of a servant and said, "Open the gates, and guide the lady in the driveway in, will you?" As the servant moved off, Tichondrius mildly wondered what brought Rhianne to his mansion. He paused mid-drink. ... Her birthday, maybe? Nah, couldn't be. He continued drinking, Kerberos drowsing lazily at his feet.
 
Kagyou hasn’t stopped walking ever since she let Tanrei take flight, only to return with another creature of flight who made haste to guide her. The white-skinned hand placed itself over a pocket and secured the puffskien in place. “We’re on for a bumpy run, Chibi.”

She brought nothing but a small bag that contained only a bottle of water, her wand and a book- and a muggle pen. Her eyes fixed upon the shadows of the creatures of flight, she chased after them from the ground, footsteps soft and swift. And to finish, and pushed her feet off the ground and landed her two feet on the steps. “Illy.” Her voice, unlike normal school days, were colder, more uncaring. With an outstretched arm, she allowed the Tanrei to land on her arm, her claws clearly sinking into her skin. While the other seemed to have disappeared.
 
Tichondrius looked up from his tea as Kagyou arrived. Raising his cup in greeting, he nodded to the servant who had shown her in, and the servant disappeared. Kerberos opened one eye at the newcomer, snorted, and went back to sleep. "Tea, Kagyou? I trust the journey wasn't too bad?" he asked, flicking his gaze to Denver for a moment.
 
With footsteps still soft, as if padded, she entered, following the servant that went out to greet her. Without a smile, she greeted Tichondrius with a mere nod and ignoring the uncaring feline. "I am fine. It was much harsher back home." she stated simply, bringing herself to an empty seat, and noiselessly settled herself in it. Tanrei settled herself on the backrest of the seat as Kagyou fished out the white puffskien and let it wander on the table. "I'd prefer the Chinese White Tea called Longevity Eyebrow KING." for her to say that, she felt it was normal. And she did not laugh. "It's rather soothing. I believe you would have it?"
 
Tichondrius flicked his gaze to Denver as he said, "Personally, I prefer Earl Grey, but each to his ... or her ... own." Within moments, Denver returned, bearing a tray with a teapot. Setting a cup before Kagyou, he poured her her tea, then set the teapot down beside the existing one. "So will you be staying for the rest of the holiday or will you be--"

Tichondrius broke off when he noticed the sudden appearance of a 10 year old girl standing beside Kagyou. "Ah... Sakura. When did you arrive?" Denver cleared his throat. Keeping a carefully blank expression, he said, "I picked her up at the airport whilst fetching Koshiba, as Lady Sakura said she was on her way here anyway." Tichondrius looked at Denver, then at Sakura, and said, "You got lost, didn't you?" Sakura blushed, and shook her head furiously. "I just got ... sidetracked," she said. "I'll be fine the next time." Shaking his head, he indicated for her to seat.

"Kagyou, meet Tsukihime Sakura. A very close friend of mine. She is also blur to the extreme, capable of getting lost in the most unbelievable ways, and is so slow she moves in reverse," he said. Sakura blushed again. "I'll be fine the next time!" she said indignantly, poking him in the arm. As she did so, the bracelet on her wrist tinkled quietly.
 
((Sorry Ti))

Hoshi hopped off the bag as it was being picked up. The man hadn't seen her sitting on it clearly. It didn't matter because it gave her the chance to see how strong he really was and it had been fun. Hoshi smiled wide at both the man and the girl though her first thought about was Ditz. Hoshi bite her tongue though and let the man lead the way to the manor.

Hoshi was little impressed when she get there. Large as it was Hoshi was used to these kind of places. Growing up rich had desensitized her to a lot of things. That was not to say that she couldn't be impressed anymore. In face Hogwarts had taken her breath away when she had first stepped in. She followed the young Sakura girl to where Ti and the white haired Kagyou where. "Don't I get a hello too?" She said in her usual super star manner. She smiled brightly and her voice was full of humer. There was not reason to let her thought put everyone in a low mood.
 
"To his or her own." Kagyou repeated, leaning herself into the seat, crossing her legs and her arms across her abdomen area. Her eyes slither past to the side, and to those who just arrived. She scanned both of them up and down before returning to her tea before her, uninterested. Carefully, she sipped the tea, and then redirected her attention when Tichondrius mentioned her name. Quite polietly, she looked up. She watched Sakura's action and gave an insignificant grin. "Wu Kagyou." she stated, resuming to sipping her tea. "FIne day, isn't it, Sakura."

Just then, Kagyou realized a much more familiar female. However, even as she spoke, Kagyou was sipping her tea. After which, she replaced the cup upon the table. "I'm quite sure Henric will arrive later." she said with a smirk, a hint of toying within her voice. "Koshiba Hoshi, was it not?"
 
"Yeah that's my name Koshiba, Hoshi Sakura. Turns out that both me and the little miss here have the same middle name." Hoshi said stiffly. A dark aura had sprung up out of nowhere and her demener changed from bright and happy to solemn. "I'm sure I can find my room from here." She said turning on her heel to escape the room before anyone got a clue of what that name did to her.

Stillness Hoshi thought and she leaned against the outer wall of the room fists clenched at her sides. She knew that there had to be a time when that name wouldn't affect her so but for now she just had to control herself. Stillness She reminded herself, taking slow breaths. After a moment of this her hands relaxed and Hoshi was able to smile in her usual cheeky yet dazzling way.
 
Kagyou threw Tichondrius a known smirk as she left a raven foodstuff and a puffskien treat on a the table for both her pets before she stood up. "Excuse me." she whispered politely, brushing pass Sakura, making sure not to harm her.

Unlike her normal days, dressed in a simple white dress, Kagyou this time was dressed in white shorts and white singlet as an under layer and a white leather cardigan over the white singlet. All of them were plain except for the red-black lining along the jacket and her shorts. Her feet were covered by those normal lace-up ankle shoes, but even those can't cause a footstep by the female.

She went after Koshiba, an unmistakable glee to her lips. And without warning, she catapulted a puffskien treat into her ear from afar. "I heard you came here to continue training." she stated, as Tanrei seemed to follow Kagyou and landed on her shoulder.
 
Niky screeched in his cage when he caught sight at of the girl. "Niky-chan be nice!" She told the bird sharply then turned back to Kagyou with one of her dazzling super star smiles. "Yeah I am. I figure it never hurts to learn something new." She said a small laugh passing though her lips. There was no sign that she had just gone dark for a moment. This was usually how fast she could keep it under control.

Hoshi always the loud one had on shorts too but her's where black and almost too high up. Her trainers looked like they had been put though the ringer more than a few times and her striped stalkings had several holes in them. Red suspenders where needless here because her black shorts looked like they had been painted on to her skin. The top was loose though. The only thing was that it ended just under her waist giving a view of enough creamy skin and a three rubies hanging in a chain off her navel. The top had the anarchy A on it in red while the rest of it was black.

"Cute little thing." She said pointing at the creature on Kagyou's shoulder. Hoshi had left her spider at home. Good thing really at the moment she was tempted to feed the fluffy little speck to her poisonous tarantula just to see it die. None of those twisted thoughts showed on her face though.
 
(Tanrei's the raven and Chibi's the puffskien tho XD)

Kagyou watched the females countless reactions, and in her head, she accessed the easier ones. She was hiding something.

And Kagyou loves it when she knows what.


Kagyou accessed the female, and gave a small giggle. "How kind you are to your pets, that's very good." she complimented. "If only Henric could see this, no?" Kagyou gave a smile- no, a smirk. A significant smirk. The white haired female was having her fair share of fun. Of torture. "How kind you can be, how sweet, how loving, isn't it?" Taking a few more steps up towards Hoshi, she slid her pointer down the side of the other's female's face. "How pretty." Kagyou narrowed her eyes, her white orbs staring straight into Hoshi's own ebony ones.
 
Thanks, She still wants to feed one of them to the spider.


That name! Hoshi kept her cool though her eyes lit up some to show a bit of what was going on inside. This is the girl that cried when she fell off her broom? It was heard to believe it was the same one. The one Hoshi thought she would have pushed around had she not laid off the bullying. "Please I ask you not to do that. Me and that boy have agreed stay out of each other's path." She said her voice a bit colder than she had intended but still had an easy going edge to it.

Hoshi was trying to be nice. Really she was trying to be nice. For Ti's sake. She had told him she could be perficly friendly. She was determined to be so. Even if she had the urge to punch this girl right in the jaw so she could take off that smirk! Nice, friendly, calm. There is no reason to get all worked up. She though. Hoshi could feel her resolve slipping with every second she looked at the white haired girl, Kagyou.
 
"That boy? THAT boy?" she asked, now very very amused. "Who is that boy, Koshiba? Why can't you speak his name?" her face was right in front of the other female, and her voice went down to a hushed whisper. "Stay out of each other's path? I don't know if you could~" Kagyou continued in a sing-song note before she gave a giggle, and moved back a little, having harassed the girl after entering though personal space.

"Aren't you so.. so.." she paused. "Obedient." she ended, canting her head to the side as she leaned her elbow on the wall, her face in her palm. Her smirk never seemed to have gone. "Do you.. want me to give you a _Puffskien Treat_ for that, Koshiba?"

Then a wide grin.

"Or should I get Henric Lee to give you a Puffskien Treat?"
 
Hoshi's eyes seemed to have a crimson sheen to them as she face went blank. "I told you not to you silly girl." She said. Her voice had dropped to a deadly softness. It seemed like ever thing about the bright and easy going female had changed yet again. There was a pause then Hoshi was right in Kagyou's face her hand tangled in that white hair of her's. Hoshi used her hold to pull her had off the hand she was resting it on and bashed it against the wall then backed off a little waiting for Kagyou to make the next move. She didn't want to beat her up. She wanted a release. Hoshi wanted a fight.

(Sorry if there was god moding. I'm still learning how to RP a fight.)
 
No problem, it takes a while.


Kagyou smirked as she watched the female appeared in front of her, only to seemingly allow the female to pull her head off her palm. Then she felt a force pushing her towards the wall rather quickly, only to allow her hand to come in between the impact. Then, the other female did something what she did not expect.
To back up.

Kagyou gave an uncertain look and canted her head to the side. Well, so be it, then.

Pushing off the wall, and giving her additional momentum, Kagyou rushed towards Hoshi, and seemingly sent a simple punch towards the female, expecting the other to block the oncoming attack. Should she block it, Kagyou would grab the other female's wrist, and kick herself off the ground, while her other hand landed on Hoshi's shoulder, as if doing a handstand on the female herself until the next second, she would then lower her lowerbody, sending her left foot flying towards Hoshi's face while her right foot got ready to reach the ground..
 
It was much like the pole at this point. Hoshi instead of blocking moved to the side allowing the white haired girl to continue on her way. Luckely Hoshi thought of binding her long raven hair today because it would have obscured her vision. The hand stand took though Hoshi waited for Kagyou to land to take the foot that was coming towards her face and attempted to use the focused energy to flip the girl to make her land on her face.

The corners of Hoshi's mouth where lifted in a slight smile. This was her element. She could feel the energy coarse though her vain along with the blood that was making her eyes have the redish sheen behind the deep brown. Hoshi slowed for only a moment to allowed the girl to get back up on her feet had she indeed fallen and aimed a hand out stretched like a claw into the girl's chest.
 
Indeed Kagyou went off balance, and indeed she flipped. However, she managed to somewhat land on all fours instead of some sprawled position. She quickly adjusted herself with one leg closer to her body while her other leg was outstretched, Kagyou got ready. While the other female rushed towards Kagyou, the white haired female pushed her other foot off the ground and like a spring, she catapulted towards Hoshi. With her speed, she grabbed the other female's outstretched hand while her free hand reached for the female's shoulder, somewhat using it for a support. Inclusive of the given momentum, Kagyou mentally considered Hoshi to have seemingly offered her an opening on a platter. Without much hesitation, she slammed her knee into the other female's chest.
 
Hoshi caught the blow head on making her gasp only slightly as her elbow managed to find a gap and dig into the white haired girl's stomach. She backed up only to get to turn and aim on suffed up trainer covered foot at Kagyou's head then landing on the same foot allowing her swing her other leg right into the other girl's ankles. The move should have made her slam into the hard floor. The pain from earlier was only serving to dive her harder. Hoshi let out a slow breath.
 
Kagyouy winced, the attack towards her stomach area went to her flank, making her glare at the female.

But then she did it again. She backed up.. again.

"You back up.." Kagyou whispered to herself. "And the attack is obvious." Kagyou sighed.

Instead of allowing the attack to land on her head, Kagyou caught the leg and pulled it, which would cause the female to well, supposedly trip. And when she does, Kagyou stepped and placed her weight entirely on the weakest part of her feet- her ankles. Both her feet AND weight were on that one ankle while her other hand grabbed onto her feet. "Make a move and I'll twist both your ankles. Or even better, block some acupoints from the sole of your feet. See you fight then."
