"If they really are alive...then it won't be long till they come here..." TJ said. "You're right, TJ. But if they do come here what can we do? We'll have to try and fight them. For our clan's sake." Mina replied. TJ looked disappointed. "If we do fight...I want you to stay close always. I'm not letting you get hurt again. Not while I'm around..."

TJ hugged her close to him, "I love you too, Mina...but still what I did was wrong..." She looked up to his face, "What do you mean? Did you think that killing her was wrong? It may have been but like I said, I'd be dead if you weren't there." "I know that...but...Mina, I never thought about what might have happened if I hadn't killed her...I simply didn't want to see you hurt. I always watched her actions when I was around...I never trusted her around you even if she was your mother..." TJ said sadly.

Name: Hyo Shinji Age: 19 Speacialty: Stealth, Assassin, Security hacking, speed, awareness Weapons: 3 kitanas Personality: Hyo is someone who is hard to make mad. He's extremely determined and protective of his allies. Bio: Hyo was born as the oldest of his family. His father died of a heart attack so Hyo had to help his mother raise his younger brother and sister. He helped in any way possible by getting multiple jobs while attending school. He could not take much more of the way of life he was living but wasn't going to give up on his family. At the age of 16, he left his home to learn the ways of Shinobi so he could gain the stealth to steal what he needed. He was going to help his family make it one way or another....

TJ continued to blush and smiled at her when she asked the question. "I couldn't really say, Mina. But as long as I'm with you I don't really care what happens to us. I just want to be with you for as long as I can...I'll never leave you alone again I still can't forgive myself for leaving you alone before..." he started to frown in the middle of his speech, "...but it was the only way I'd forgive myself for letting you get hurt back then...by not letting myself see you again...I still have not forgiven myself for that, Mina..."

TJ turned red again. He had no clue she felt like that about him. [I]But I do see how much she's grown...and I think I feel the same way about her.[/I] "I just don't know anymore...Oh crap..." He said quietly and unkowingly to himself. Mina looked to his location but he had moved immediately. [I]I can't let her know I'm here. If she finds out, she'll never forgive me...But I....I want to tell her how I really feel...That's it...I'm gonna tell her now.[/I] TJ stepped out of the shadows behind Mina's seat. "Mina..." She turned around shocked to see that he followed her. "TJ, I asked you not to follow me here! Why did you come here after m...." TJ cut her off by kissing her lightly on the lips. The both blushed, "Mina...I love you...but not like a sister..."

TJ stood confused, blushing slightly. He put his hand on his face where she placed her hand. He shook his head violently thinking, [I]What is wrong with me? Mina's like my sister...what's so embarrassing about her kissing me? It's not like I...[/I] He left his thoughts at that and shook them off. "I can't let her go alone no matter what she says...I promised I'd never let her out of my sight again..." He grabbed his weapons then followed Mina's trail through the woods.

Good stuff man. You're good to go. Ryu 3-The Nameless-Neru Kami-China Zero

Sorry for the late ness but please add gender to your sign ups...I'm such a dunce *puts on a dunce cap* Here are the definates: Ryu 1-Kayin(me)-Takahiro Jinrai-Japan Zero Ryu 5-Delirium-Naomi Berkly-US Zero Houha 3-Crucifix-Yuriy Ivanov-Russia Zero

Science Fiction/Future/Fantasy The year is 2704 A.D. The Earth has expanded into the frontier of space. They established nine space colonies throughout the solar system: US Zero, Spain Zero, China Zero, Japan Zero, Russia Zero, France Zero, Germany Zero, Australia Zero, and UK Zero Colonies. Since the development of the colonies, all of them have been under the Earth Alliance. However, twenty years after the development of the colonies, 2649 A.D., five of the nine colonies separated themselves from the Earth Alliance as the ?Phoenix Alliance?. What colonies were left of the Earth Alliance, including Earth, renamed themselves the ?Dragon Alliance.? The Dragon Alliance was upset with the Phoenix Alliance for showing, what they called, disrespect to their home. Ten years after the separation, 2659 A.D., the Phoenix Alliance declared a war on their terms for their independence from Earth. The Dragon Alliance accepted and agreed to the humane yet at the same time inhumane terms. Each alliance selected one person as a representative of each colony so as to reduce the number of casualties in this war?however these people were to be genetically altered to fight for their alliance. The Phoenix Alliance?s fighters were chosen already and waited at the alteration lab until the Dragon Alliance had their fighters. No one from the Dragon Alliance would be willingly altered just to fight a war, so the Alliance leaders decided to have their fighters kidnapped and brought to the alteration lab on Earth. Once both sides had their fighters, the alteration commenced: The Dragon Alliance fighters were called ?Project Ryus? and The Phoenix Alliance?s combatants were called ?Project Houha.? Each fighter?s name was soon forgotten so they were instead given numbers. Thier genetic code was altered as soon as experimentation began to prevent them from aging. These fighters? physical abilities were amplified immensely and were also each given six special abilities. They had weapons crafted that only worked correctly with the user?s genetic code. The last thing that was necessary to allow the combatants to keep their strength and to give them special abilities was to infuse them with an elemental spirit. Project Ryu received Dragon spirits and Project Houha received Phoenix spirits. For each side, each number was given a specific elemental spirit: Experiment 1 received a Light spirit, 2 received a spirit of Darkness, 3 a spirit of Fire, 4 Thunder, and 5 a spirit of Water/Ice. 45 years later, present date, the experiments had all been completed. The Project Houha experiments awaken and are informed of their new abilities. But now the Project Ryu experiments begin to awake, and the Dragon Alliance is going to regret kidnapping them? __________________________ In a laboratory, scientists have finished the experiments under ?Project Ryu?. ?The tests on the subjects are complete, professor.? ?Very good. Are their weapons ready?? ?Yes, and fully compatible.? ?What about the control device??!? One of the experiments awaken. ?What the? where the hell am I?!? The experiment clutches his weapon and attacks some of the scientists. ?Professor! The control device is inoperable!? ?What?! That means the others will awaken as well!? Just as that was said, the four others awaken. ?Restrain the subjects now! ?We can?t sir! We amplified their abilities past those of the restraints!? The five people who were altered look at each other, confused, then escape the facility as a group. ?We?ve lost our defense against the Pheonix Alliance? the Earth and the Dragon Alliance are finished? and those poor children were altered in vain?Hopefully, they?ll find a way to live with it.? ?Sir? the Dragon spirits should guide them?hopefully to defend the Dragon Alliance the Phoenix Alliance?s ?Project Houha??? The group escaped and ran to a nearby forest. They all stopped at an open area in the forest. They had realized that their speed was drastically faster. ?What did they do to us?? Project Ryu-3 asked. ?No clue but I don?t plan on fighting any war.? Project Ryu-4 replied ?Why the hell did they have to pick us anyway?? Project Ryu-2 said. Should we go back and find out? Maybe we can learn what they did to us? and why?? Project Ryu-5 stated. ?Yeah? I think we should find out??Project Ryu-1 said. ?Oh yeah? My name is Takahiro, from Japan Zero Colony? Who might you all be?? He asked, sheathing his Ryu blade and holstering X-Calibur. ______________ In this RP, You're either a fighter for the Phoenix Alliance, the Dragon Alliance, or a member of either government(not really needed). The battle will ensue on Earth and members of Project Houha have been sent to Earth's battlefield waiting for Project Ryu. The Dragon Alliance's fighters has 48 hours to get their combatants to the battlefield(Don't worry they'll make it in time after dealing with some of Earth's cyborgs that eventually force them to reach the battlefield). Your character also has a Demonic or Angelic transformation but only one. It will be listed in your special abilities. Angelic mode is more defensive and curative, Demonic mode is more offensive.

TJ didn't even look up. He just stood there looking at the floor. "But I could've been there....I could have done something...but now you have to suffer for my faults. I can never forgive myself Mina..." He pulled his hand away and shoved it in his pocket. He looked at the large crack he left in the wall. "Sorry about that Mina...I'm just not myself yet..." TJ pulled the brim of his hat down over his eyes. He walked over to a chair and slumped down in it.

TJ hugged Mina and put his hat on her head. "Well, I'm pretty sure you're doing exactly what he would've done. No...I'm positive." They smiled at each other and Mina put TJ's hat back on his head. He held Mina close to him and looked at her seriously "Mina...I'll never let you out of my sight again. I won't let you get hurt. I have a duty to perform and you're like my sister so I am obligated to keep you safe at all times." Mina hugged him, "Thank you TJ...I'm glad you're going to stay here with me. I really did miss you you know?" Mina said with a tear running down her face. "I know..." TJ broke the embrace and turned away. "If I hadn't been asleep...then your father may have still been alive...Dammit!" He yelled as he punched the wall.

I'll give up the spot...I don't like to compete for roles

Name: Jhuya Age: 16 Gender: Male Race: Fox Demon Position: N/A Appearance: Jhuya stands at 5'3" and weighs 116 lbs in his human appearance. He haslight skin and long brownish-red hair that reaches his tail and brownish-red, white-tipped fox ears. His eyes are yellow and he has a scar on his left cheek. His build is fairly small (Bust: 32" Waist: 27" Hips: 34") but his strength doesn't agree with his size. He wears black shorts with a slot for his tail in the back and a white sleeveless shirt that says 'Light' in Japanese on the back. In his fox form he has flames on the tip of his tail. His fur is brownish-red and his paws and the tips of his ears are white. At the tip of his ear he stands at 4'1" on all fours and he weighs 96 lbs. Weapons: He only carries a simple kitana with him on his side...other than that he uses his fangs claws and fox-like agility. OOC: can I still use the fox deomn bio?

Takahiro pulls him back down, "We'll get it okay?...but we should all get some rest first...It's been a long day for everyone." Takahiro smiled. Saio gave in to Takahiro's smile as his older brother. "Aw man...fine..." he said. Everyone resumed what they were doing. Saio was beating on Aida in video games again, Yojimbo found a spot on the couch and played his Game Boy Advance SP while watching them, Kitty and Asaku were fighting over the Oreo's, and Sakura went back to scolding Takahiro. "I told you to get some rest Takahiro! Why did you come out of bed like that?! You're still hurt!" Sakura scolded. "I know Sakura but...my gem was calling me from my sleep. Please don't be upset with me..." Takahiro said sadly for going against her wishes. Sakura smiled at him, "It's okay Taka...I'm not mad...just concerned is all..." Takahiro blushed slightly, "You shouldn't have to worry about me though. I don't want you to have to be concerned for my safety." "I know but..." Sakura started. Takahiro kissed her lightly on the lips, both of them blushed, "Just don't worry about me so much..." Takahiro walked up to his room and sat on the ledge of his bed polishing his pistol. "I'll have to be rested up to help Saio get his gem..." He laid down and tried to fall asleep...but couldn't. "Crap I can't sleep..." He woke up and went down to the first floor. "Saio let's go...we'll get your gem tonight."

I will also be awaiting it however long it will be. I understand how drawing a manga can take a while. It took me a week to finish the inside and outside cover and one page and that was just sketching. All because of homework...

"Are you sure you want to pay that much Mina?" TJ stepped out of the shadows. Mina jumped. "TJ?! How long have you been there?!" Mina exclaimed. "For some time now...if you really do plan on paying, Mina...allow me to pay at least half." TJ replied. "But you don't have much money yourself. This is my responsibility not your burden to handle!" Mina said. TJ smiled which rarely happened, "Mina you are my responsibilities and your burdens are mine to help you carry." OOC: gotta go sorry!

Ryojin scanned the ground hoping to see Ark somewhere nearby. "Where is he? We have to find him...now!" Ryojin descended to the ground with Aura and Athene followed him down. "If we can't find ark in the sky...then we have to search the ground." He set Aura down on her feet. "Athene stay right beside Aura and both of you stay right behind me." Ryojin drew his sword, the Dragon Slayer, and began a slow advancement through the forest with Athene and Aura right behind him. "Where could he be? He was just in the sky, fighting the enemy...but he was surrounded by flames. I hope he's okay..." Athene said. Aura smiled at Athene, "Stop worrying. Ark is very strong...he's fine." Athene smiled back, "You're probably right...thanks Aura." Ryojin glanced back at the two and smiled slightly. "Heh...c'mon we'll find him...just gotta have fai..." He started when he was cut off by a demon attacking him. He barely countered the demon but he impaled it and flung it off of his sword into a tree. "Looks like we're on the right track...." Ryojin said getting in his fighting stance. Athene also stood with her sword ready. "Aura, you stay back...I promise we'll keep you safe. Let's go Athene!" Ryojin yelled as he began a charge into the group of demons. "Right behind ya Ryo!" Athene ran right beside him and the struck down two of the demons in one strike each. Several more demons charged at them from their left and right sides. "I'll take the right Athene! You take the left!" Ryojin punched the ground and broke the guard of the demons. Fire rose from the ground in the shape of a dragon and incinerated three of the demons on the right.

Takahiro woke up from his rest in a cold sweat. He felt his stomach to see that the wound had closed. He sprang from the bed and put his shirt on and shoes. He put on his hat and sunglasses even though it was night. He grabbed and X-Calibur and left the protection of Sakura's barrier. He ran down the stairs and out the door. He shut the door and his wings quickly spread from his back. He took flight and flew toward the city where he...felt...[I]his[/I] gem. He landed with his gun concealed. He was near the city prison. [I]What the heck...It just had to be in a place like this....I really hate to use force but...[/I] Takahiro blew a 'hole' in the wall that allowed him to walk through but did not disrupt the wall structure. He walked in to see two of the inmates fighting. One of them held the gem in their heart. Takahiro cracked his knuckles and caught the attention of the two. "One of you have something I need..." "What the heck are you talkin about?! And who the h*** are you?!" The possesor of the gem replied. Takahiro walked toward him and drew his pistol. He aimed it straight at the one's heart. He ran to a point blank range and fired. Time froze and Takahiro grabbed the gem as it emerged from the inmate's back. "Thank you..." The inmate stood back up from falling. He looked around to see that Takahiro had vanished and the 'hole in the wall was gone. Takahiro held his gem close and flew to where his friends were fighting. He arrived to see blood of demons spread across the ground and the gates opened. He landed and ran in quickly hoping to find his friends. He slid to a halt when he saw Yojimbo, Kitty, Aida and another angel. The angel turned around and looked back at Takahiro. He studied her appearance for a second. "S...Sa..Sakura? It can't be you...what happened to you?" Takahiro asked confused. "Takahiro what are you doing here? You should still be resting!" Sakura scolded him. "But still...I'm glad you could make it here. I found out how to unlock the powers of the gems...but we still need to find yours don't we?" She asked too preocupied to notice he'd found it. Takahiro smiled and raised his glowing yellow gem from his pocket. "We should keep moving ahead...you can fill me in later." Takahiro pocketed the gem again and the group ventured further into Orion's srtonghold.

OOC: Sorry I've been gone...but I'm here for the moment. IC: Takahiro had not left his spot on the stairs. He felt bad for having to shoot his brother in the neck like that. He held his stomach which was still bleeding from Saio's attack. He wiped off the blood still on his chin. He coughed up more blood just as he did that. [I]Crap...I don't have the strength to heal myself from this without my gem...If I find it then maybe I can keep us alive. Maybe it will enhance my healing abilities...I wish...I guess I'll have to find out for myself.[/I] He wiped his mouth with his sleeve. He stood up as well as he could and headed for his room. He ran into Sakura along the way. "Hey um...Sakura..." "What is it Takahiro?" Sakura asked. "Oh I forgot you injured yourself as well...I'm sorry...I'll get some bandages right away..." She said before turning toward her room. She was stopped feeling a hand holding hers. "No...I'll be fine...I'm going to go look for my gem but I need you to help me take care of Saio. He's freed now and has a hole in his neck, but...he's still alive." Takahiro smiled at her slightly and let her hand go as he pulled it back to cover the blood he was coughing up. He looked at the blood in his hand and went into a trance. He stood there motionless staring at his hand. He started as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He could see Sakura looking over to him at his side. "You sure you're okay? You coughed up quite a bit of blood and you're still losing blood through your wound..." Sakura said. "I'm fine just need to rest..." Takahiro said before falling to the ground from blood loss.

Takahiro was still unconscious. He had just started to awaken. He jumped up and pointed his pistol straight forward. He put the gun away when he realized he was no longer fighting and was in his room. [I]How did I get here? I remember fighting Asaku and Shinoshu...and then...Asaku hit me with that energy blast...[/I] Takahiro felt his forehead. He looked at his hand to see some blood on it. There wasn't very much that came off since it had dried quite a bit. He walked to his door and opened it. "What the? Why is there a spell on my room? It's one of Sakura's...Sakura!" Takahiro bolted down the hall and heard talking coming from Yojimbo's room. One of the voices was Sakura's and the other was Yojimbo's. "Oh good they're both alright..." Takahiro knocked on the door. "Hm? Who is it?" Yojimbo asked approaching the door. "It's Taka..." Takahiro replied. Yojimbo opened the door. "So you're finally awake?" He said crossing his arms. "Yeah...Yojimbo what happened to Asaku and Shinoshu? And what about my brother...where is he?" Takahiro asked. "They left with Shinoshu...together..." Sakura answered. Takahiro fell silent. He couldn't believe that Saio was taken or that Asaku betrayed them. "We have to find our gems...We'll stop Shinoshu and free our friends from his control...We have to..." "But how do we find these gems huh? Did you think about that Takahiro? What if we can't find them then what?" Yojimbo asked. "We'll cross that river when we get to it..." Takahiro replied.

For anyone who missed the VMA's Linkin Park was the winner of the Viewers' Choice Award.

Takahiro laughed after he heard Saio's stomach growl. "You really are hungry aren't you? I have some Oreo's stashed somewhere until we restock on food." Takahiro said searching the cabinet for his bag of Oreo's. "Where the heck did I put those? Ah there they are!" Takahiro pulled a bag out of the cabinet and handed them to Saio. "Thank you Takahiro." Saio said taking the bag. He immediately opened it and started scarfing them down. "No problem. Call me if you need anything else Saio." Takahiro walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs. He saw Aida and Asaku down the hall walking from Kitty's room. "Hm?" Takahiro was about to ask what happened but he decided it could wait. He began heading for his room but remembered that Sakura wanted to talk to him. He knocked on the door of Sakura's room. "Sakura...it's Takahiro...did you still want to talk?"

TJ stood there for a moment simply letting Mina hold him. He hesitated to do so but he wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. "Mina...I'm sorry I left...I'll never leave you again...I promise I will always be by your side." Upon saying this TJ remembered another time where they seemed to be in this same posoition and place. "Mina....I remember back when we were only children, and I was of course younger but was still to watch over you. I had left you in this place to be safe when I heard that Vampire Hunters were about and decided to leave you behind to take care of them. It only took me but two hours but when I returned you were crying in my chest asking me 'Where were you?' or 'Why did you leave me behind?'" TJ smiled upon these memories.
