RPG Knockdown High (PG - VL)

[foxtu78]

Amy:"I wonder how everyone is doing?"

Tusco:"I don't know."

Amy:"I better get back to my room now. See you around."

Tusco:"Bye."

Amy walks slowly back to her room thinking about what had happened. "I really hope everyone is OK. This was a crazy day." she reached her room and dropped on her bed after trying to stop yawning but eventually gave up and slipped into slumber.

Tusco walked around the courtyard, halfway looking for a fight. He jumped into an apple tree and waited for someone to come by so he could pull a prank.

Tallie was downcast, Tobais had not talked to her all day and now she just lay on her bed wondering, til a large shadow dropped infornt of her window, she saw the form of a large animal run across the grounds and gasped, it was heading for Tom's room. Tallied opened the window and jumped out, she felt the ret of the bones in her ankle shatter and she gritted her teeth but got up and kept moving, sparks told her she reconized this figer but couldn't remember.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Sakura sat down on the green grass of the forest next to Knockdown High. She sighed a breath of relief.
" That was close. B.T. is getting far too close to the truth for my liking." The wind rustled the trees gently. The sound calmed Sakura down. The forest was like home to her. It was the only thing comforting about her high-school. She stood up and made her way to a stream where she normally bathed. Taking off her clothes, she dipped herself into the cold mountain water, feeling instantly refreshed. Sakura dunked her head underneath the water and came back up, her now wet hair plastered against her face.
" This feels so good!"

Suddenly, a rustle of bushes caught Sakura's attention. Immediately she covered herself with her hands. A red tiger with black stripes sidled out of the bushes. Sakura froze.
" Who are you?" she asked, recognising the tiger as a person.

*Get out...mmm..stay where you are.* said The red tiger

"Who are you!?!" said Sakura

*This should JOLT your memory!* said the red Tiger as it put its claw in the water for a moment.

Sakura got a jolt of sparks up her legs.

"B.T...?" said Sakura

"That's me, so it's you smell I have been following." said B.T. ( :D ) as he when back in to his human form. "Your cute."

The sound of a person running towards them reachs their ears.

"Tallie...Tell her none of this if you can't get away in time, I'll be in my room." said B.T. as a bolt of lightning came down and he was nowhere to be seen.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie busted from the bushes and fell right inot the water, she came up sputtering and wet.
"what the hell? I didn't know that this was here...Sakura?"
Tallie looked up at Sakura and frowned.
"What-Wait! did you see something weird go this way? Like an animal or something?"
Sakura shook her head.
"Damn. thanks."
Tallie stood and made her way throught the bushes on the other side of the water and kept looking for something that wasn't there.

((Sorry i havent posted for so long. Ive been having internet problems :( ))

Tom rubbed his leg ruefully. It was still sore, as was his chest. He laid back.
"Dammit..."
He heard someone walk by his door. They paused outside his room. Tom did the first thing that came to mind. Rolling off his bed, he landed quietly near his sword. He fell silent as the door hand shook. The door opened slowly. Tom had turned the lights off to help his hiding. He listened as the person walked around. He gripped the blade, slowly rising from his hiding spot. He paused, mouth slightly open. A young girl stood in front of him, holding a broad sword. She smiled, then slowly backed out of his room. He dodged towards the door.
"Hey! Wait!"
He looked down the hall. No one. He glanced at his door and noticed several slash marks. He dodged back into his room and buckled his sword on. He left the room at a steady lope. He nearly ran into Tallie, but he quickly leapt ino an empty room. She was obviously looking for someone and didnt notice him. He sighed, then set off again to the back of the school. He paused. He never liked the back of the school. Too many cherry blossoms. The girl stood there. She smiled again, drawing her sword. Tom did the same.
"Who?"
She shook her head. Tom narrowed his eyes.
"What?"
She held a finger up to her lips before dashing towards him. Tom met her, their swords clanging loudly.

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie headed to her room and lay down on the bed.
"whats with this place...to many strnage things going on... and Tobais won't talk to me anymore.....man! this sucks!"
SHe rolled over and slowly dell a

[Redemption]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Sakura was furious. First B.T. made her get out of the water and looked at her naked, then Tallie ran past after B.T. Her eyes had a mad, steely glint to them.
" Oooo. Next time we meet B.T., I'm gonna have your head on a platter."
She walked over to her clothes, put them on even though her hair was soaking wet and made her way to Tom's bedroom.

On the way she heard the clashing of swords. Real swords. Sakura's eyes narrowed.
" Who would be such an idiot to combat each other with sword in broad daylight?"
Very slowly, Sakura crept through the cover of the forest over to where the sound originated from. She flipped into a tree and stood on a branch, watching the events unfold below her.

Tom and a mysterious girl were fighting one another with real swords. Sakura felt a pain in her heart. Her eyes saddened.
[I]So, he's gone off me and on to another? Why did I let myself become such a fool![/I]
With that, she flipped out of the tree and walked calmly to B.T's room. She knocked on the door.
" Come in, the door is open."
Slowly, Sakura inched the door forward.
" You wanted to talk?"

OOC: sorry i havnt posted lately.

IC: Steve sat in his hospital bed and thought about what he did and what Tom did to him. He never could be quite the same again with the hole in his shoulder. Out of curiosity he asked the nurse how long till he could leave and she said about two weeks. Steve still had bisiness, bisiness with Tom, he would escape and treat his wound himself after he beat Tom. He already had done enough to get him kicked out but no one knew it. Steve thought about where to go and figured the back area would be a good place to go and not be seen. He got ready and jumped out the window and he bolted for his destination. As he arrived he saw Sakura watching a fight, the fight was Tom and some young woman clashing swords. Steve was furius, Tom was his nemesis and he was going to fight him at his best. Steve ran out and hit the young woman in the side and wispered in her ear " Leave him alone hes mine!" she retreated and Steve faced Tom and said " This is it lets see who is better, miricle boy".

[SilverCyclone]

Tom threw his blade hilt first into Steve's face. He was furious.
"Never interfere with my fights again! I'll kill you next time!"
The girl rose, a smile on her face as a thin trickle of blood flowed from her mouth. Tom picked his blade up and held it out. Steve was in shock. As violent as they were too each other, neither had threatened the other's life before. The girl laughed softly.
"Your too injured to fight me right now...but I am surprised that you dont remember me..."
"What are you talking about?"
The girl performed a smooth backflip onto the top of the fence. She smiled as she leapt into the woods.
"I'll jar your memory some other time...bye."
Tom lowered the blade, very confused. Then he narrowed his eyes. Turning, he advanced on Steve.
"Never interfere with my fights again! You are not my only enemy, and you damn well better not think that your the only one who can fight me!"
He glared down at Steve before walking away. He walked over to his dorm. When he was sure he was alone, he scaled the walls to the roof. He sat down, facing the sun, and began racking his memory for the identity of the girl.
[I]A white tiger is seen on grounds, and now a girl who claims to know me...what the hell is happening?[/I]
"...Have I finally gone insane...am I imagining all of this..."
He stayed on the roof till nightfall, when he finally climbed back down and into his dorm. He didnt sleep though. Too many things went through his mind. The tiger, the girl, Steve, and Sakura.

[bovine_man3]

Steve was to slow to avoid the hilt of the sword Tom threw at him. Steve hit the ground and heard Tom say "Never interfere again or Ill kill you next time".Steve woke up after ten minutes on the ground and accidentilly put weight on his bad arm. Steve shouted, "SH*T!!!!!!!!" as he started bleeding. He headed back to his dorm and he ran into an administrator who immediately sent him to the principal. After getting the usual yelling at Steve decided to tell the principal about the fact that everyone knew about him pissing himself from the sight of a tiger. Steve then went to his dorm for the the night to try to sleep the rest of the day away.

[foxtu78]

[COLOR=DarkBlue][SIZE=1]Tusco saw the fight but thought nothing of it. He was trying to think of a good prank. After a few more minutes he gave up and pulled an apple off the tree. He started eating it real slow and thought about the competition.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red]Amy woke up when she heard the fight. She watched it for a little while then lay on her bed listening to music. She fell asleep again and woke up late in the night. She washed her face and sat up reading for about an hour then she fell asleep again.[/COLOR]

[SilverCyclone]

Tom awoke in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. He had remembered who she was. He sat there, breathing heavily, eyes wide. Gripping his head, he tried to calm down. He flipped on a light, making his way to the narrow mirror he had against a wall. He stared at his reflection for a while before reaching out and gently touching the glass.
"...murderer..."
He turned his eyes, not wishing to look at himself any more. He noticed the small slip of paper lying on the ground near his door. The staff prefered to hand out notes and announcements at night, where the students could find them in the morning. He picked it up, sitting back down on his bed. Opening it, he read the contents carefully:
[I]In three days, the school will be holding a festival to celebrate the upcoming tournaments. All are invited, and all classes will be postponed until after the celebrations.[/I]
Tom stared at the note with a look of confusion.
"Thats new...huh...sounds kind of...fun actually..."
He tossed the note onto the ground. He glanced at the mirror one last time before turning his back to it and going to sleep.
--------
Mr. Miyashi, one of the martial arts teachers, puffed as he made his way to the north dorm. He had a backpack full of the notes, and was slipping them under each door.
"Why did Mr. Sonoda make me do the notes this time?"
He trudged into the night, still complaining to himself.

[Redemption]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]After her encounter with BT in his room, Sakura stomped back to her, furious. BT had seen her naked which pissed her off. She had seen Tom fighting another girl, which obvious he had a fascination with the mysterious girl. This infuriated her something cronic. A letter was slipped under her door, the sound catching her attention from her stormy thoughts. She stood up, stretched like a cat and bent over to collect the letter from the floor. It read:

[I]In three days, the school will be holding a festival to celebrate the upcoming tournaments. All are invited, and all classes will be postponed until after the celebrations.[/I]

" Oh great," Sakura whispered to herself as she threw the letter down to the floor. Her anger was consuming her from the inside. Like a raging fire that had erupted from a small spark and now is burning out of control. She opened her window to let the fresh air in her room.
" This won't do anything."
Jumping out onto the ledge with agility like a cat, she danced along it as if the four sotorey height was nothing. Showing off her talents to no one in particular, she backflipped on the thin ledge, ladning perfectly. Flipping forward, finishing with a handstand, she flipped over the ledge, hanging from it on fingertips. Sakura let go, feeling the air rush down her sides. Landing on the ground effortlessly, she stood up and walked around the grounds. Walking past Tom's dormitory, she felt a hot rage lodge in her throat as she saw the same girl that was fighting Tom before, staring through his window. Sakura clenched her fists. She leapt up from the ground and landed on the ledge, beside the girl.
" What do you want with Tom girl?" Sakura sked harshly. The girl turned and looked at her.
" Murderer..." was all she said. If Sakura had hackles, they would have been raised. With a swift movement, Sakura kicked the girl and sent her flying off the edge. The girl backflipped and landed on the ground just like Sakura would. Sakura leapt down adn faced the girl. Withdrawing her sword, the mysterious girl charged at Sakura. She smiled. Sakura withdrew a smooth katana and blocked her attack. The gril ws surprised.
" I'm not that easy to defeat," Sakura hissed at her as she pushed her attacker off.[/COLOR]

[SilverCyclone]

Tom slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at the alarm clock.
"...3 in the morning...son of a..."
He trailed off as he heard a commotion from the grounds. He stumbled out of bed, nearly slipping on a sock. Leaning out the window, he glanced at the grounds. All his blurry eyes could make out were two figures leaping around. He squinted, rubbing his eyes. He still couldnt make out who it was. He turned, smashed his head against a wall, and after cursing loudly, leaned back out. His eyes widened as he realized who they were.
"What the hell...Sakura!"
Tom seriously considered leaping down, but remembered that he wasnt that graceful, and his leg was still healing. He burst from the dorm, dashing down the hallway.
"Why are they fighting *huff huff* I thought *huff* Akari was only *huff huff* after me!"
He slid around a corner, heading to the second floor. He still hadnt noticed that he had forgotten to put on a shirt.
------
Sakura smiled as the Akari stumbled backwards. She slashed with her katana again. Akari barely managed to parry it. She seemed clumsy and slow, barely keeping up with Sakura's attacks.
"You really are pathetic. And here I thought you were going to be difficult."
Another sweeping slash went for the girl's shoulders. It was parried quickly. The girl smiled, suddenly graceful and quick with her movements.
"Sorry dear. But now that I've seen the way you move, you shouldnt be too hard. I did the same thing to Tom when we first fought."
Sakura felt her temper rising. The girl smiled as they clashed again, taunting her opponent constantly.
((holy crap thats long... :o ))

[Redemption]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Sakura smiled, knowing her opponent would say something like that. It was the only way she could control her anger. The sword wasn't really her forte but it was the only thing that kept her on equal footing with this girl. The girl gracefully sliced her way towards Sakura. Sakura blocked them with difficulty. The extra weight of the sword was slowing her down. In her mind, she debated whether or not to drop the weapon and fight without it. The girl attacked her again. In a moment, Sakura dropped the sword and blocked the oncoming sword with her arm. It sliced it, creating a
gash in her arm. The girl smiled.
" So you're not a swordswoman then?"
" No way. Hand to hand all the way," Sakura replied, standing up straight, unaware of the blood streaming out of her wound.

((Im gonna be gone for the weekend. Just so you know :D ))

Tom finally left the building, bursting through the door. He was at the front, they were at the back. He slipped as he turned a corner. Sliding into sight of the battle, he noticed that Sakura wasnt holding a sword. She had several cuts, and Akari was covered in bruises. He gaped at them for a moment before he realized what was happening. He racked his brain for some way to stop them. He didnt want Sakura getting hurt. He knew she could hold her own, but against a sword she wasnt doing too well. Plus, it looked like Akari was aiming to kill. He hadnt brought his sword, so he couldnt do anything without getting killed himself.
[I]What do I do, what do I do?[/I]
A thought entered his head. Dashing along the back, he searched around for what he was looking for. Akari was in the middle of a downslash when an icy blast from a hose stopped her. Before she could react, Tom blasted her again. She stumbled backwards, slipping on the wet grass. Sakura took a step towards her when she too was hosed down. Tom finally shut off the hose after both were thoroughly drenched. Akari opened her mouth, but nothing came out, and Sakura looked like she could kill Tom. He stared at her passively, still holding the hose. Akari glanced at her, then dodged off. Tom dropped the hose. He walked up to Sakura, still an emotionless look on his face. She was furious.
"Why did you stop us? Why did you interfere!"
He stared at her, then gently took her arm. He examined the cut.
"Not that deep...you'll be fine."
"I know that! But you havent answered my question!"
"I DONT KNOW!"
Sakura took a step back. He clenched his fist.
"I dont know why I stopped you...I dont know why I felt so sad that you were caught up in this. I dont know! Is that a good enough answer for you?!"
He was yelling, not angry, but he was still yelling.
"I...I've never felt this way towards people...I never really cared when people get hurt, it was never my problem...but no matter how much I try to deny it...I cant stop worrying about you!"
He shut his eyes, fearing that tears might show. His hands were shaking, and he had gotten red in the face.
"I know you can take care of yourself, but...it still scares me everytime you fight...I dont know why...I cant control it...I just dont want to see you get hurt because of something I did or...something I might do..."
He trailed off. Turning, he headed back into his room, leaving Sakura alone to her thoughts. He climbed the stairs and entered his room. He didnt even shut his door, he just sat down on his bed. He stared at the floor in silence.
"...damnit...I should've just stayed quiet and let her hate me..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This..is...boring..." Thought B.T. " Sakura acked like she had no idea what I'm talking about...I have to see what's up with steve but first I'll go see Tallie but I know its four in the morning. That was a weird fight...Sakura is hiding something."

B.T. walks over to Tallie's room and knocks on the door. "Hellooooooooo..."said B.T.
He leaned againt the door and thought of the things he would ask her as he knock on the door again.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie groaned, someone had woken her up from a very good dream so it had better be for a very good reason. Opening the door she saw B.T. standing there and blinked. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes shd yawned and spoke in a slurred sentence that sounded something to the effect of.
"Whadyawant?"
"Can we talk?"
"Fine, since I'm already awake, might as well come in so I can warm up."
"Warm up? For what?"
"I dunno, I just feel like there's gonna be a fight today between me and someone..."
Talie began to strech and soon searched for her gloves finding them and putting them on she went to the closet and opened it realeasing her punching bag. She spun quicker the B.T. could follow and hit the bag with the heel of her foot making sand puff from it.
"Well you just gonna gawk at me or talk?"
B.T. nodded and watched her as he pondered what to talk about as the girl pounded away on the hard bag.

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System]"Well...i was wondering why you where running allover the place(O_o)?" said B.T. try to lead her to think what ever she saw was someone else.

Or at least he thinks she got a good view of him.

"It looked like you where looking or following somebody. ("Please let this work!" thought B.T. :sweat: ) said B.T.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SilverCyclone]

Tom finished wrapping his daggers. He had bundled his weapons, training clothes, weights, everything he owned, in thick canvas. Only his broadsword and the clothes he wore now were left. He placed the bundles on his bed, then walked out. He headed down to the grounds, leaving his door unlocked. He walked towards the gates leading to the forest. He carefully made his way to a grove with a stone ring. He sat down and waited. A few minutes later, Akari finally came into view. Both faced each other. Tom drew his sword, Akari drew hers. Both were dead serious. Tom pointed his blade at her.
"This is the last fight. Whoever wins lives to see tomorrow. Whoever loses..."
Akari nodded.
"Accepted. What about the body?"
"It isnt the first time I've had to deal with corpses. Theres a rather deep pool near here. We put it in there, and send their soul onwards."
"Very well. I will honor the bargain murderer."
"As will I..."
Both fell into a fighting position. A moments hesitation, and they clashed in their duel to the death, the dead leaves swirling around their feet.

[Redemption]

Sakura watched from above, her eyes bare slits.
" Fool..."
Watching Tom and Akari in their duel of death, Sakura waited for the right moment to jump in. Swords clashed. The sound resonated in the air. It sent cold waves crashing down Sakura's body. She felt the tiger spirit rise in her chest.
" So, I'm not the only one with a tiger spirit. Hmmm....B.T. ..."

[SilverCyclone]

Tom grunted as he kneeled, bleeding from a fresh wound in his shoulder. He was slowing considerably, yet he didnt know why.
[I]Sakura...hates me...that much I know...then...why should I...[/I]
He blocked another stab, barely. Akari was much faster. Tom staggered backwards, deflecting blows and slashes.
[I]Why do I care...why do I care...[/I]
"WHY DO I CARE!?"
Akari gasped as Tom drove his sword straight through her middle. It was too fast to be seen by either of them. She dropped her blade, staring at the swordsman with wide eyes. Tom stared back, his own eyes full of pity.
"Im sorry...but I must live..."
He pulled the blade out, dripping, from her stomach. She had a weak smile. Falling backwards, she stared upwards.
"...H...honor our...a...agreement...warrior..."
Tom dropped the sword. Kneeling, he gently picked her up. She was breathing slowly, and was limp in his arms. He walked over to the deep lake. He laid her gently on the surface, but didnt let go. Her blood clouded the water.
"No one deserves a warriors burial more then you...Akari. Forgive me for killing him. Please..."
Akari smiled again.
"I...for...gave you...a...long...ti...me...a..."
She faded into death, with Tom staring at her sadly.
"Thank you...now, rest forever."
He let her go. She drifted slowly to the bottom and out of sight forever. He straightened up, staring at the lake. He heard a rustling and turned. He stared at Sakura in the trees.
"Sakura..."
Turning, he picked up the blade. Wiping the blood off, he glanced back up at her.
"Why do you stare at me like that? Heh...stupid question. You hate me. I understand. Dont worry...I wont bother you again. Goodbye Sakura."
He headed back to Knockdown High, whistling softly as he entered the grounds.
[I]I dont plan on living for very long. You wont have to deal with me anymore.[/I]
He headed to his dorm.

[Redemption]

Sakura watched Tom walk towards the dorm.
" The fool..."
She flipped out of the tree and landed in front of Tom.
" Why do you think I hate you?"

[SilverCyclone]

"Dont you? I would. Ive murdered two people, and only one deserved death. Why wouldnt you hate me? Im a murderer."
He had a sad look in his eyes.
"I dont hate you! I never have!"
"You dont...why? Why would anyone even care? I dont feel sorry for myself, I dont lament about my life. I am ashamed. I chose this path, and so far, it has been paved with blood. Thats why I never cared...thats why I never felt remorse or pity to those I hurt. You watched me kill her, just now. You know that I have no qualms about killing, and yet you say you dont hate me? Then what!? What is it you feel with me! I know my emotions, and I know what I feel for you! I just figured it out, and I had hoped to keep it a secret so that you would never get wrapped up in my mistakes. I love you Sakura, but I fear that if I show that love, you will be killed like so many others! I dont want that blood on my hands, I wouldnt be able to handle it! What other choice do I have? Now it is your decision. I respect any choice you make, no matter what. What are your feelings for me? Please tell me...no matter what it is..."
He stared at her, both ashamed and proud, and waited for an answer.
