For The Sake of Defense(open to anyone)

Subject: For The Sake of Defense(open to anyone) July 1st 2008, 8:56 pm

Hatsugen was walking around the Campus Grounds on his own thinking about his encounter with that man. He couldn't help but wonder about what he should do. He thought to himself about the meeting that took place with all of the teachers and what he could do to protect the school from this organization while still learning about his son. He knew one thing, and that was the fact that his son was the leader of Suzaku. He wanted to help him and learn more about the situation, but he couldn't help but want to fight against his son too. In a way, Hatsugen knew that this would happen and partially saw this coming when Kisuke was a boy. Hatsugen stopped and looked up into the cloud-filled sky. He had no leads on his son that he could think of and he couldn't find a way to see what Kisuke was doing as being a good thing. He quit thinking of it for the moment and decided to figure out a way to train the students of Sentou Gakuin so that they could prepare themselves. He needed a plan that he could bring to the attention of the other Masters and Trainers.

What should I train these students in? I don't really believe in completely flashy moves but I do think that the basics should be stressed. They are, afterall, the keys to unlocking a warrior's true potential. Perhaps educating the students in footwork and basic skills are what's necessary? I don't know, my mind is so filled with different things that I can't concentrate....I should seek out Kisuke. I promised...I promised I would bring him back.

Hatsugen looked down and hunched over. He placed his hands on his knees and stopped. He took a deep cleansing breath in an attempt to clear his mind. He could not concentrate on the two things and it made him insane.

Nejisuke Metaruhando walks quickly, almost jogging, down a street in the campus. He has cuts all over his jacket, from his journey to the Suzaku Fortress and back. He has a fairly vacant look on his face and isn't paying attention as if he doesn't know what to do because of something. Due to his preocupation he nearly walks into the stationary Hatsugen. Realizing who is standing there Nejisuke comes to. "Hatsugen, i have just seen something very disturbing to me, and bad news to this entire school. I just saw a large complex harboring an organization known as Suzaku, that seems to be against our school. I don't know what to do..."

Xexame had just came walking up to the two teachers that seemed to be in the middle of a conversation. He hadn't been paying too much attention but he heard a little bit of the statement Nejisuke had previously made as he walking up. He was actually walking because he had nothing to do that day since there were no classes and he couldn't find any of his friends to train with.

"Hey teaches. What's this about an organization that's against our school?"

Xexame was curious although his face didn't show it. He had figured this was some kind of joke or even a prank that Nejisuke was trying to play on Hatsugen. He didn't know the two of them that well, but he knew their names and has seen them from time to time. He guessed that he could learn more and just be there for the hell of it.

Hatsugen said nothing. He couldn't think of what to say at the moment in order to turn the situation around. He remembered how Jisenki told him to keep information about Suzaku secret from the students. He figured that he should have been more careful. He thought that Nejisuke should have been careful too. He wanted to make a motion so that Nejisuke would get the hint but he couldn't think of a motion to do without Xexame seeing.

"Who said anything about organization?"

Rorak sat on top of a building, lost in thought. Jisenki had told him earlier about the group known as Suzaku and that he wants all of the teachers to ready the students in case of an attack. He had no idea how he was going to get his student ready for such an encounter, expecially that they had only gone through one class!!!! He slammed his fist down in frustration, then threw himself back to lay down, his feet dangling over the ledge as he thought.

Subject: Re: For The Sake of Defense(open to anyone) July 4th 2008, 12:01 pm

Hatsugen slightly heard what sounded like a thump and looked up to see feet dangling off of an edge. He couldn't tell who it was from what he could see but he didn't sense that it was anyone evil or someone with an intent to hurt anyone so he ignored it for now. He wondered if what he said convinced Xexame otherwise or if Xexame would still wonder about the organization and continue to ask questions. Hatsugen waited for the moment when Xexame would reply. He clenched his fists a little but showed no other emotions that would let on to Xexame that he was trying to hide something. In any case, he didn't want to give up information that could scare the students but if it came to it, he would try to convince Xexame to keep it a secret and to not let anyone know about what's going on.

Hopefully, he won't catch on and he might forget most of what he heard or think he heard wrong. I don't want to tell him about Suzaku because I was ordered not to and it could jeapordize the moral of the school students.

"But, Hatsugen what do you mean by-" It is at this point that Nejisuke realizes what Hatsugen had been implying. He hadn't been at the school in a couple of days, and he could have missed something. "eh... i better go Hatsugen. Thank you for your time." Nejisuke starts to leave. He notices the buildings... so easy to breach, and he wouldn't even know what the enemy looked like. There were a lot of updates he needed to do to the campus. He would be ready for an attack.

Xexame looked up after he heard a thump too. He couldn't see anything from where he was and figured that it was some small bird creature that probably fell for a moment or maybe even crashed. He then looked at Hatsugen again and remembered what they were talking about in the first place. He looked to see Nejisuke but couldn't find out where he went.

They must be hiding something. I wonder if I can get some info from a teacher?

"Yes you did, I know I heard you and Nejisuke say something about an organization of some kind. I believe Nejisuke said something about an organization against the school or something...Actually, I'm 99 percent sure that he said that, so what's that about? Is this an organization that's trying to develop into a school and compete against Sentou Gakuin, or is this truly some evil guys that wanna kill us all? Believe me, I don't scare easily so if an evil organization is the case, I can handle the news...Actually, I wouldn't mind a good fight."

Xexame didn't really mind if there was an evil organization of some kind against the school. He would enjoy a good fight and it would encourage him to do more training.

Rorak heard voices down below, and looked over the ledge. HE saw Hatsugen talking with Xexame about something. Then he heard Xexame talk about the organization. His eyes grew wide. How do the students already know about this organization when the teachers are just learning about it?!?!? If Hatsugen didn't end the conversation soon, Rorak knew that he would have to interfere, and he didn't want to. He liked Hatsugen, and had alot of respect for him. He didn't want to risk that respect.

Nejisuke Shoujouhi is on the far end of the street and is slowly walking towards the gathered people, but is still a ways away. He had been wandering the campus, trying to find the house of Nejisuke Metaruhando, but he had had no luck. Then he notices a figure walking away from the group of people. It was Nejisuke M. ahhhh... what perfect luck. Now i can begin what i came here for. Nejisuke straightens his mask a bit, and heads purposefuly towards Nejisuke M.

Hatsugen was about to continue his conversation with Xexame until he noticed a figure wearing a mask arriving in the distance. This person looked unfamiliar to Hatsugen, and Hatsugen wondered if the person walking towards them was a student or an incoming student tryingto find his way. Hatsugen didn't really think that the person was evil but he could never be too careful with talk about Suzaku all around. He then looked up and saw the feet again and wondered who that was. He was now beginning to suspect this person with the mask and the person up above on the building. First, Hatsugen wanted to learn about the person coming. He whispered to Xexame, making little mouth movements.

"Be careful Xexame, and expect a battle."

He then walked forward a few steps in the direction of the figure approaching him. He was going to confront this person although he chose not to do it in an intimidating or even a forceful way in case this was a new student.

"Excuse me, but do you have any reason for being on this campus? Are you hoping to become a part of the school or are you just visiting for the moment?"

These were simple questions but effective questions nonetheless. Based on the manner of how the person spoke, his reaction speed to the questions, and how his body moved as he answered, Hatsugen could learn a small amount of information. After years of being a fighter and a high level division of the Sunosuke Clan before they became deceased, he knew how to pick up on intentions of people and he used that talent to save allies.

Nejisuke Shoujouhi takes this in stride. He had expected questioning, but he had hoped he could get through it without being found out. He doesn't have to make his voice sound truthful though, his voice was garbled by the speaker in the mask. "I'm only temporarily visiting, for the purpose of seeing a friend. His name is Nejisuke Metaruhando. He is expecting me." Now of course this last part was a complete lie, but hopefully Hatsugen wouldn't know.

Nejisuke Metaruhando perks up at the mentioning of his name. It was said by no voice that he knew. He glances to where Hatsugen is facing a masked person. how does this person know my name... wait a second... could it be...? Nejisuke senses behind the mask the person is wearing a metal chain around their forehead. Sure it was a different one from last time, but Nejisuke knew only one person who wears a chain around their forehead. "Ah yes, i was expecting you. Sorry to keep you looking for me, i was out looking for something away from campus. Please come with me, Shoujouhi." It would arouse suspision if he called him Nejisuke as well, because Hatsugen wouldn't know about him, and it could lead to questions. Better safe this way hopefully.

Hatsugen became a bit more suspicious about the two of them. Things were beginning to look strange. His curiosity was only increased due to the fact that the person before him was wearing a mask and how the person had been amplifying his voice. An amplified voice was much easier to detect than a usual voice. Hatsugen heard the person being addressed as Shoujouhi.

"Hey you! Remove the mask then if you are simply a visitor. If you are just a mere visitor, you should have nothing to hide from anyone."

Hatsugen then looked at Nejisuke to see what he was doing while this was going on. Hatsugen's trust level of Nejisuke was beginning to drop, but he had no true evidence yet to say whether one of the two were lying or if they were using some kind of deception.

"Hey Nejisuke, were you expecting someone at all? What are you two going to do here?"

Hatsugen's face had his usual expression with a bit more concentration than usual. It could be slightly compared to as an angry face but is wasn't quite that. It was more of a focused and concentrated face. His concentration was needed for this partial interrogation that he was having with Nejisuke and this newcomer that has appeared known as Shoujouhi.

Wha? How the heck did Nejisuke M notice it was me? Oh well, questions will come later, at least he is covering for me. Nejisuke S turns to Hatsugen as he starts to acuse. Uh oh. I was hoping not to run into people who would get suspicious. Lets see if i can continue to pull this off. "Um, sir. You do not want me to remove this mask. This mask keeps me from letting out an inner evil, in which i go completely insane and kill anything in sight." Nejisuke smiles beneath his mask. This would be an adequate excuse, common among warriors that Nejisuke had met.

Brilliant Nejisuke S. Great cover idea there for the mask... i'll ask him about why he is wearing that later. "I wasn't expecting Shoujouhi at this exact moment, he is actualy a couple of days late." Nejisuke M turns to face Nejisuke S. "Come and meet me at my house, here is where it is." Nejisuke takes a map of the SG campus out of his back pocket. He always kept one on himself in case he got lost. He grabs a pen out of his side pocket and circles a building on it. He then hands it to Nejisuke S. "See you there." Nejisuke sinks into one of the metal rings on his finger, and is gone.

Xexame was ready to fight if he needed to until he saw Nejisuke pull out a map leading to his house. Xexame smirked a little and grined, causing him to lose focus and lower his guard. He was a bit confused as why a person would have a map to get to his house. Xexame couldn't help but say something out loud. He couldn't let the opportunity pass for him to say something about that.

"What the hell was that all about?! Did he just pull out a map to get to his own home?! Is it me or is Nejisuke a little slow? You'd think a teacher would know how to get home on his own without a map, and he pulled it out so casually too and thought nothing of it while he did it! I bet ya that he has tons of those at his home. Now that I think about it, if he just gave away his map to his home, how the hell is he gonna get home? Hopefully he won't get lost."

This was part of Xexame's sarcasm, but it was a point that he couldn't help but make. He knew that it would probably get him detention, and thanks to Militis, he now knew what Detention was like.

I'm probably screwed for that outburst but it was worth it. That map thing....that's just plain funny.
