Yu Yu Hakusho!!! Spirits Amok! (A Spirit Detective RP!) Chapter 3: Genkai's Training.

Lina managed to make it through her day without much incident, though every now and then, she would overhear people talking in her head, forcing her to leave the area.

Great, people must already think I'm weird. She thought, looking at herself in a mirror in one of the bathrooms. Normally she didn't care what people thought about her... But now that she could literally hear what people thought about her, it was hard to ignore.

Shaking her head, Lina collected her things and went to homeroom, the one place she knew she wasn't alone.

As the teacher asked how their days went, Lina raised her hand and asked, "Does hearing people's voices in my head count?"

Sonny pondered for a moment. He almost got beaten up in the boys' toilets this morning- no, nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever, actually. The strangest thing that had happened was when he'd managed to avoid getting beaten up by the timely intervention of those four other boys... wait, hold on a second. All the people who had come to his aid... they were from this class, right? That was too unusual to be a coincidence. That they'd all happen to be there at the exactly the same time, and having all come from the same place too...

Sonny raised his hand. "Um... is there any chance that, like... people with the potential for spirity-energy-stuff would be, uh... drawn together in a way?"

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Angelo was eager to hear Ms Tanya's answers to everyone's question. Might relieve some of the questions he had.

The SPIRIT Bracelet didn't do anything for him so far. The only thing it did do was not fit in with what he usually wore. He thought that the encounter with the boy at the start of the day might wake something up should he have chose to attack, but the big lad managed to keep his cool, and thus an incident was avoided, but that may have been his chance to use his powers, and wouldn't that have been for the greater good in the long run?

Angelo shook his head. If he did start a fight, for what ever reason, it would have been unjust. She said we should develop our powers in about a day, and it hasn't even been half a day. Patience was all he needed.

"The only strange thing that's happened to me, was this morning when we were here. Other than that, nothing," Angelo explained, "Just how exclusive are these powers? Who gets them? Are we joining millions of people or a handful with these abilities?"

SPIRIT REVIVE!

Snip

Ms. Tanya was surprised by this new information. "Yes that is unusual. Perhaps your Spirit energy is Heightening your senses to an extent that it helps you predict your opponent's movements.

Ms. Tanya laughed at these questions. "This is all leading up to something big. I can't tell you much about it, because it would ruin the surprise. Just trust me, all will be explained once each of your powers have awakened."

snip

"Hmm....that is a sure sign of your powers awakening. Perhaps you are reading their thoughts. Maybe once you learn to control it, you will be able to do more than just read minds." Ms. Tanya said with a smile.

snip

"Honestly Sonny, I can't answer that. You all meeting here in this class was planned. Outside of this room I don't know."

Snip Snippety snip snip snip

"You all are very rare individuals. Only a handful of people exhibit the qualities needed to awaken their dormant abilities. So, yes, you are in the vast minority."

Ms. Tanya addressed each student in turn. Trying her best to answer. "Alright, are there any other questions, comments, or concerns?" She asked everyone.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Damien thought for a moment, staring deeply into space while twisting his favorite baseball around and around in his hand. "Yeah, I've got a few. One: why the hell are we here? I doubt anything like this has ever happened before, so why now, and why us? Number two is this: why the hell are there so many of us? I would understand it if we were spread all across the world, of we are as rare as you said, but why is there such a high concentration of us in this town of nowhere? Finally, Questions number three 'n four would be: who are you, and why do you want us to cultivate our powers so damn bad? You said the test worked everytime before. That means this has happened earlier. How do you know where to go or which schools to infiltrate?" Damien had been sprung upon by legions of questions, and be would be damned if he was t going to get answers.

 

[All Hail Lelouch]

"Oh, Alright, I suppose i can answer a few of those." Ms. Tanya sighed as she prepared to explain. She shifted her position on the desk and cleared her throat.

"You are here because you have the most potential out of all of the other candidates. We are going to need your help in the coming months. As for why there are so many of you, I don't know the answer to that honestly. There are a few more like you out there, but they didn't exhibit the powers you guys do. Now, to answer the question of who I am...I think i'll let you ponder that until tomorrow. I will explain everything tomorrow. Trust me." Ms. Tanya smiled.

"I'll make you guys a deal. If all of your powers awaken by tomorrow morning. then I will give you all a very special treat on top of answering all of your questions fully. "

DING DONG DANG DONG!

"Well, there's the bell. You all run home now and do...whatever it is you teenagers usually do." Ms. Tanya chirped. "Have a nice afternoon!"

Sandbox mode engaged. In this mode, you have free reign of what you and your character can do. Go to the movies, play at the arcade, fap to something hot, if you can think of it, you go ahead and do it. However, remember that if you get into a fight, do not forget the limitations of your abilities. I will advance the plot once i feel the need to, until then, just have a bit of fun with the rest of your fellow RPers.

Ready?
Set?
GO!

As the students piled out of the classroom, Sonny ran a bit ahead of his classmates and stopped in front of them, before turning and addressing them as a group. "Gentlemen- and lady," he added, turning and curtsying to Lina- "as thanks for the assistance I received this morning, I would like to invite you all to a small gathering at a local cafe. Though not all of you were involved in the incident earlier, the offer stands to anyone who may be interested."

Sonny coughed quietly, his small speech delivered to perfection. He'd come up with it during one of his earlier lessons - no way he'd be able to come out with something that long just on the spot - and he hoped it didn't sound too stupid.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Lina blinked at her classmate's suggestion. She might have been a loner by nature... but then, not a lot of people bothered to invite her anywhere...

"Uh... sure, I guesss. My folks won't be home until later anyway. I guess I could come along for a bit..."

 

[Xero Scythe]

Damien sighed and shook his head. "Sonny, you are too damn polite. We're all caught up in this together, so we might as well get along, right?" Damien grinned as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "Anyways, I would love t'. I don't have practice today, so I got nothin' on my plate. Besides, it's my first week here; I should see all the sights, right? So, where are we headed?" Damien looked back at the others, that mischievious, infectious smile on his face. " 'ey, you guys are comin' too, right?"

 

[All Hail Lelouch]

Jason thought about it for a moment and decided.

"Certainly, what place did you have in mind Sonny?" Jason asked. Out of the corner of his eye, Jason noticed his shirt sleeve glowing brightly from the scar underneath.

"For christ's sake, if this thing gets any brighter I'm gonna end up looking like Tron." Jason quipped.

I wonder what's going to happen to me, will i be able to control it? Will it kill me?

 

[Sam G]

Sonny nodded to Damien, made a mental note that politeness in excess was a bad thing, then addressed Jason's inquiry. "There's this small establishment called "Starbucks" just down the road from here; I don't go there often, but occasionally when I'm out and about I'll stop in for a cup of something... they do these beverages called "frappuccinos", which are like coffee, only cold and with cream and stuff..."

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Angelo smiled at the request. He had no idea anything had happened, but an act of kindness to repay people was certainly admirable, especially to those who weren't even involved. "I'd be delighted to come, Sonny is it?" He replied to the request cheerfully.

 

[Fishtie]

Alex smiled a touch to himself, personally he would rather go to his own favorite place; a genuine local hole-in-the-wall dinner run by the family of a friend. But this time it seemed like Sonny was orchestrating the group, and Alex was feeling too tired to do much about that.

Actually, some coffee sounded good, something to really pick Alex up and drive away his exhaustion. Alex didn't often drink coffee, and not just due to the boxing coach's tirades against it, but he just felt so tired at the moment that he would be grateful for it.

"Sure, I'll come along." Alex said as he carelessly stuffed a few papers into his backpack. "And I for one don't see the problem with a bit of politeness about." He added as he came to a stop towering over Damien in a not unfriendly manor. "Is that some kind of L.A. thing?" He asked with a smile.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Damien's eyes lit up like the North Star. "You guys have a Starbucks here? Damn, I've been lookin' fer it but I could never find one! Man, I just love this town more 'n more! Can't believe I missed something like that. Hurry up- I've been dyin' fer coffee since I got here! Where is it?" Damien was positively ecstatic when Alex suddenly loomed above him. Damien grinned when he heard Alex's question. "What, you don't feel like something's off? Politeness is fine 'n all, but the problem with it is it creates a gap. Politeness is a mask to hide behind when taken to extremes, used to separate oneself from everyone else. Rippin' off that damn facade and just bein' yourself is the best course of action when with friends, no?" Damien sighed as he shrugged and slid his hands in his pockets. "I'm not explaining it very well, am I?" Damien shook his head sheepishly."Anyways, how do you think this whole 'power' business is gonna go down?"

 

[All Hail Lelouch]

"Honestly, I think its going to be a lot of fun having powers. I mean, look." Jason rolled up his sleeve to show Damien his glowing scar. "This scar seems to be where my power is going to take form, so it's certainly going to be interesting to see what form its going to take." Jason yapped on.

"I wonder what that surprise is that Ms. Tanya told us about. Maybe its an automatic 100 for the semester!" Jason Suggested as he rolled his sleeve back down.

"Very well, fellows! Off we go!" Sonny said, then spun around and led the group off towards their destination.

He overheard Alex and Damien doing guy-talk over his shoulder; Alex was further proving himself to be a very nice young man, and was doing very well to dispel the fears his size and haircut naturally imbued in Sonny - it wasn't some prejudiced thing; it was simply that in Sonny's experience giant young men with shaven heads had a tendency to be somewhat impolite to smaller young men wearing dresses.

Damien, on the other hand, was saying something that was surely ever so philosophical and clever and wonderful to hear; from this distance, however, all Sonny could make out from his fascinating ethos was "I talk a lot and use big words to make myself seem clever". Still, he had aided Sonny in his pursuit of the noble goal of not getting beaten up earlier, and Sonny owed him the benefit of the doubt for that at least. Maybe once he became comfortable enough to "rip off the facade" of being an awesomely intelligent cool guy, he'd become a bit more endearing.

 

[All Hail Lelouch]

Jason saw that the boys in front of him were too caught up in their conversation to hear his suggestion. He turned around to face the other two that were going to Starbucks with them, Angelo and Lina.

"So, what do you two think about this whole 'Powers' gig?" Jason asked the two, walking backwards while he talked.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Lina shrugged half-heartedly. "I don't know what to think." She confessed.

"I mean, it just all came out of nowhere. Why us? Why now? And what the hell is so important about this town?"

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Angelo gave a small smile; "I think a fair bit has been withheld from us, whether it be from her or people around us." Angelo looked down as he said this next part, "Honestly, the way she's awakening our powers it's like she wants something from them. Maybe she's el diablo and wants to eat them. Maybe she wants them to help her rob banks. Or maybe she was just informing us so we don't get scared when we start shooting stuff from our hands, and the surprise is a bag of candy for everyone to make us feel better about ourselves." He tossed his hair out of his eyes. "That last one doesn't seem too likely."

At that moment, it occurred to Angelo that he had never even drank Coffee that much. He tried it once, and liked it, but that's it. One sip. and here he is going to a Coffee shop. He didn't even know what type of Coffee he had. Don't want to embarrass myself. Pick one, drink it, no matter whether it's good or bad. Don't appear rude.
