Searching For Something (Open)

[pablostudioz]

Paul was resting under a tree. His back was resting snugly against the base. He had put his sunglasses on his head. His eyes were closed and he was dreaming up a wonderful scene in his mind. He is an artist. To him, dreams are just another manifestation of his passion. He had a clever smile on his face. BAM! He jumped up and yelped. A branch hit his head. He rubbed his head. "What the.." he thought as he looked up at the tree branches above him. He was flustered and confused.He saw nothing but leaves and branches. He sighed in relief as he was glad that it was just a tree branch, and not someone looking for trouble. "Yay!" he said blissfully to himself. He slothfully and lazily got up. Paul brushed some dirt off of his behind and off of his knees. He wiped some specs of dirt and dust off of his aviator sunglasses and put them on. He stretched and yawned still feeling annoyed that his sleep was worried. Then, he turned slowly and was shocked to find the girl on the other side. He gave her a skeptical look with a raised eyebrow and asked, "can I help you?"

Ryuu Tanaka strode through the forests of Conomi Island. He was using his leisure time to take a nice walk through the forests. His kamishimo and hakama swayed gently in the breeze, and his two katanas rocked against his hip with each step he took. Taking a breath of fresh air, he continued on. As he moved on, he heard the sounds of repeated striking against a tree, most likely with a blunt instrument. Making his way to the source of the sounds, he came across his student, Emi Roromiya. She was his favorite student, unlike any of his previous ones. She showed much more promise than the others. Smiling, Ryuu snuck up on Emi, tapping her on the shoulder and said, "I knew I'd find you here, Emi."

After her greeted her, he noticed someone else on the other side of the tree, who had been comically smacked in the face by a falling tree branch while he slept. Now that was quite an odd sight. Cocking an eyebrow, Ryuu asked the strange boy, "Are you alright? That looked like quite a bump to your face." Ryuu wondered why the boy slept in the middle of the forest.

[Izananana!]

Emi heard the thud of a tree branch fall and she stopped hitting the tree. She wondered where the noise had come from and she looked around for a few seconds. She didn't think she could have possibly been hitting the tree hard enough to knock a branch out of the tree and she just shrugged her shoulders at this. She heard someone exclaim happily and she looked around again. She wasn't going crazy because she had been bored, was she, but she was answered soon enough when a boy asked her if he could help her and she just stared at him for a few seconds.

"Um. As long as your not my boredom speaking to me, I think I'm perfectly fine." Emi said with a laugh.

Emi jumped a bit, however, when someone tapped her on her shoulder and she spun on her heel. She still had her katanas in both of her hands and with a quick spin of her hand the blades would be in her hands with the blunt end facing up. She wasn't one to surprise especially when she had her katanas in her hands but this person was different. She quickly fixed her attitude and placed her katanas back into their sheaths. She looked up at the man that had tapped on her shoulder and had spoke to her and she smiled real big.

"Sensei! What are you doing here?!" Emi exclaimed questioning him being on Conomi Island but the smile was still clearly on her face.

Paul watched in confusion. "Okay, seriously. What the heck is going on here?" he thought to himself getting and slightly annoyed. He watch the scene. Then, he zoned and began to think about random thoughts. "What is the sky made of? How many trees are in the world? Where exactly do devil fruits come from?" On and on it went. The sheer magnitude of the amount of ideas was unprecedented.

He started to hum as well. The bottom of his shirt flickered in the breeze. He was staring at the sky, still lost in thought. Paul toyyed around with his fingers and thumbs. They were a little sweaty. It may be a breezy day, but it was still pretty hot to him. He shook his head and snapped out of it. Then, he cracked his knuckles and popped his back and neck. Paul stretched his arms out and yawned. "Hellooooo.... Still here folks" he said, more agitated then before. Then. he crossed his arms and grunted. He was not looking for a fight, nor argument. All Paul wanted was a simple explanation to what was going on around him. Who was the girl? Who is this weird guy behind her? Why are they even here?

Ryuu smiled as he patted Emi on the head, "Seems your reaction times have improved. I have taught you very well, Emi." Looking around, and then up at the sky, he took a deep breath and looked back down at Emi. "Where do you think I get my tangerines? Conomi has the best in all of East Blue. They're worth the trip, you know." Looking over at the boy, he thought for a second. "What more is there to explain? My former student was simply bored and decided to pass the time by smacking her valuable katanas against a tree. You just simply happened to be in the path of a branch her striking had knocked loose."

"Now Emi, now that he knows, what shall we do with him?" he said as he winked at her, delving into his mischievous side. He hoped Emi would have gotten the hint he gave her by winking his eye. It was just some fun to pass the time and have some fun with his former student before the boat with his supply of tangerines was loaded and ready to leave. It was a nice day outside, so why not have some mischievous fun?

[Izananana!]

Emi turned her attention back to the boy that had came out from behind the tree when she heard him begin to hum and she looked at him oddly. She wasn't sure exactly what might have made him begin to hum and was curious to know why. She was a pretty curious person when she wanted to be and that usually led to trouble but it wasn't like she meant to; at least not all the time. She watched him for a few seconds and she blinked when he spoke to her and her teacher. She had blinked because she had found it strange to speak in such a manner when they were standing right there and especially when she was looking right at him when he had done so.

"Oh I'm sorry. It's impolite not to introduce myself. I'm Emi Roromiya. Nice to meet you. Um." Emi said smiling at the boy awaiting his own name.

Emi's attention turned back to her teacher, however, when he patted her on the head and complimented on her reaction times improvement. She grinned when he asked where she thought he got his tangerines and nodded when he said that they had the best. She remembered eating them when she was little and in his care during her training; they had been delicious. She listened as her teacher spoke to the boy she had just introduced herself to and blinked again when she heard his last sentence to him. She didn't really make a branch fall on him did she but she heard the question that had been directed at her by her teacher.

"What should we do with him? Hmmm. Maybe....No that's too extreme." Emi said going along with her teacher who had kicked into his mischievous side.

Paul made a his left eye twitch for a second in annoyance. He stopped for a second and took a deep breathe, letting out a sigh. He shook his head and walked away from the two slowly. "I should not let small things like that get to me so easily." he thought to himself. He began to hum again as he walked and and smiled. He was in a cheerfully good mood. He looked up at the sun, still smiling and with his hands above his eyes. "Ooh! Its really bright today." he said, again talking to himself. He reached above his head and felt around in his hair.

He was shocked and felt around some more. "Awww... crap." said Paul as face palmed himself. "I forgot my sunglasses!" Without haste, Paul turned around and ran back toward the girl and man he saw earlier. He ran so fast, it was as if he flew to get back there. He paid no attention to them and qucikly looked around the ground. "Bingo!" He could somehting black out of the corner of his eye.he walked to the left a little and bent over to pick up the object. He let out a sigh of relief as it was his glasses.

The sunlight was bright today, Ai didn't like it. She shifted her umbrella to block her pure white skin from the sunlight. The wind made her hair dance and gently played with the skirt of her dress. It was a nice cool breeze and she continued her walk. Her feet made almost no sound as she moved forward. Her one good eye was closed which was usual for her to do so.She listened to the sounds of the forest, picking up every single sound. She suddenly heard voices she didn't expect that in the middle of the forest. Intrigued she moved closer to understand what was being said.

She didn't have to move that much closer due to her devil's fruit abilities but she liked to place faces with the voices she heard. She followed every word they said, though at the same time she was still enjoying her peaceful walk. She suddenly realized she had covered more ground than she initially thought since the voice were suddenly very clear and near by. She paused her step and opened her eye for a moment to see what was in front of her. A soft chuckle slipped Ai's lips, the people whose voices she had heard were right in front of her. She was sure they heard her sudden chuckle out of no where but that didn't matter to her.She was used to being stared at not only for her sudden chuckles but also for the way she dressed, it was fine it kept people at a distance.

This only lasted a second and soon Ai had started to move again, her eye closed. She walked right past the teacher and his student, smiling amused.

Yin Lei had been on a journey since... well... not that long. She was a thin 14 year old girl, still growing up... in many ways. She had just started her pirateing career. She was trekking slowly through a forest, creeped out by pretty much everything that moved. God knows how she hasn't fainted yet, but she managed to muster up enough courage to keep on going. She was holding her trusty Bazooka, Mecha-Zooka, in between her crossed arms. She was grasping it close to her, squeezing hard. She was still afraid if anything could pop out.

Her stomach grumbled, like an earthquake. "EEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!" She jumped up and aimed her Mecha-Zooka before realising it was her and she landed, bending her knees a little, silently. She then trekked on, slower, since she had so hungry. Her head was bowed as she walked forward. She trekked forward for a few more minutes before she heard some voices in the distance. Hey head turned up for a moment, where unfortunately a little spider was spinning a web. Her eyes grew wide as she froze. Before squeeling in a sharp, high note and blasting her Mecha-Zooka behind her and flew straight forward, and crashed near the group.

[Izananana!]

Emi blinked as three things happened in what she thought was at once but it had actually be one after another. She watched as the boy who she had accidentally hit with a tree branch came running back after he had left and picked up his sun glasses, which he had left behind. She then turned her attention to a girl who had walked out of the trees wearing nothing but black and carrying a black umbrella and tilted her head to the side when she heard the girl chuckle. Before she was able to ask her what was so funny she heard a squeal followed by a blasting noise and then a crash into a tree. She looked to where the noise had sounded, which hadn't been that far away from where she was standing with the other three in the forest.

Emi discovered upon looking at the tree to find the reason behind the noise and found a little girl not but 14 or maybe younger. She looked around at the other three with a quick glance of her eyes and rushed over to where the girl had landed. She was curious as to why the girl had crashed into the tree in the first place and whether the girl was okay or not. She dropped to her knees when she was beside the girl and eyed her for a couple of seconds.

"Are you okay?" Emi asked as she gazed down on her with her bright green eyes.

Vertigo stared at the scene in confusion. He watched a strange chuckling girl appear out of nowhere and another girl appear, even more oddly, out of the sky. He took another look at his glasses to make sure they were clean. There was another smudge. With his shirt, Vertigo cleaned it off by rubbing. He made sure not to rub it to rough and scratch the lens.

Vertigo took one more look around. He watched the girl who had hit him earlier, when he had been resting under the tree. She walked up to the girl who seemed to fall from the sky. He yawned and began to walked away. "This is too much action for my tastes! Adios!" he said in a calm voice with his hands behind his head. A slowly began to walk in the direction he was heading earlier.

Vertigo began to hum another tune. This one was just as cheerful as his last. He lightly nudged his head forward and the glasses fell onto his eyes. The Sun still seemed as bright as before. As he walked, he began to wonder things. "Where should I head next? What should I eat today? Gahh! What time is anyways?!" he htough himself.

Aya was about to leave the group to itself again as a girl came crashing by, she could clearly feel what happened through the vibrations off the air. Her black hair flew up and she turned around after she heard the crash. This explained the shooting noises she heard not so long before, she opened her good eye a little bit just enough to glance at the scene but the others would be unable to see her eye. She slowly walked over to girl ignoring every one else and elegantly sat down beside her. Her eye was kept shut the whole time. Aikoh had always had a soft spot for younger girls she felt she had to take care of them. She directed her head at the girl who sat on the other side of the girl. Ai smiled comforting at her, she knew that was all she could do to calm her down. "Roromiya-san was it? My name is Aikoh Ayumi Fujimura, nice to meet you" she said softly with a pure voice. They might recognize her last name she was a noble after all, a noble that had lost everything. She didn't care if they did recognize her, she had noting left to lose anyway.

The trees all became sort of blurred as she flew through the air, like when you blur a green image by like 2000 %. However she couldn't see the whole blurring thing thanks to the fact she had her eyes closed and was squeeling like a cute wittle mouse. She also span as she rocketed towards the group. She was now in a pile of bushes and other greens with an @ ___ @ expression on her face. The small, thin, petite explosion expert was upside down with her legs spread wide but her arms still around her Mecha-Zooka, like if she were hugging a giant teddy bear that she had since she was a child and could not live without, which was pretty much the same thing as this Mecha-Zooka.

She shook her head, which was in some slight pain and slowly opened her eyes. She noticed a green eyed girl sitting right next to her, whom asked her a question. She blushed a bright red, her whole face going slightly pink too. She started to sweat too then said in a very small voice, "Y-y-yes... I am fine..." She then flinched, for no apprent reason, closing both her eyes. Then she noticed another girl sit next to her and smile at her, which did put her a little at ease but she still blushed and shut her eyes tight.

She looked around a little noticing her surrounding more before realising the unwomanly and awkward position she was. She shuffled a little bit before trying to sit upright, but went through more very... perverted position and making very ... well very... yeah... noises too. "Ooh... eh... ah... no... eh?... oh... eh... mnmm... nnnn... " Eventually coming to a sort of normal position of sitting on her knees still clutching her Mecha-Zooka and looking down at the floor, every now and again glancing upwards.
