From the ashes begins a new

[Artemis]

((OOC: WOOTNESS! I CAN RP NOW! *DOES THE HAPPY DANCE* LOL..XD))

The young Greek and Japanese beauty sat calmly in the passanger seat of her brother, Sky's, car as he drove her to her new school. Well Sky wasn't really her brother, he was her adopted brother from the orphange in which they both stayed at. But Artemis didn't see him as her adopted sibiling, she saw him as her brother; her big brother at that. Her long, smooth, mid-back dark blue hair flowed loosely against her back, as her hazel gold tinted eyes stared out the car window seemingly in thought.

It had been 8 years since her step brother Axel had left the orphanage and hadn't returned as he promised her. She had wondered daily if he was alright and if he was, why hadn't he returned for her like he promised he would. She had went through so much in that orphanage which had only gotten a bit worse since he had left. That is where Sky came into her life and played the big brother role. She had spent two more years in that hell hole before the Mazaki family came and adopted her and Sky. Since then she's been doing pretty good for herself, though she still misses her parents daily and she still ponders about Axel.

I wonder if you're still alive... but if so... then why didn't you come back brother?...Why?

If there was a chance that he still was and that he was even possibly be looking for her, it was slim that he would find her now. She was in California now, if there was ever a chance it was back in New York; but she made her decision. Finally arriving at the school, she turned to Sky and simply nodded telling him thank you and she would see him later. He simply smiled and told her to be careful. She stepped out the car and watched him drive away before turning her sites on the school; PHS.259. Swinging her black denim Jansport bookbag over her right shoulder, she sighed and made her way into the building.

Once inside the building she allowed her hazel gold tinted eyes to scan the area. Seeing students gossiping in the hallways and whatnots, she just simply made her way to her locker. She truly didn't wish to get into any confrontations especially over any sort of nonsense. Atremis is really not a violent person but if her hand is forced she will not hold back nor hesitate. She just simply wished to get through the day without any problems from anyone. Once reaching her locker she began turning the dial to the combination lock, opening the locker and tossing a few things inside, as she spoke softly to herself; practically a whisper.

"So from the ashes of my past... I'll begin a new..."

[akada]

Hiroko Katashi. Standing at seven-feet even. A truly intimidating male, while at the same time, he seemed to hold a certain childish luster to his actions, a fine example of which being displayed here at current. Head moving slowly back and fourth, singing along to the beats of a song, it was one that seemed to have been memorized by heart, flowing along to the beat of an updated song, remixed from classical rythms, while at the same time, his body was shifting slightly, turning here and there, with the silk of that black shirt being moved around in the wind, showing off the massive scar on his back, easily distinguished by its light white color compared to his tanned skin. Coming from his right shoulder, about six inches wide and reaching all the way down to the left side of his waist.

"How many times must we start again
The creation of the world from beginning to end
What will it take before we learn
We gotta wake up now 'n' show some concern
What will the future hold
How many untold stories will be told
Just what will the future bring
How many species of birds will have a song to sing
Man 'n' man can't even get on
'N' man 'n' womans been at war for far too long
Superior race all this black 'n' white vision
Catholic. Muslim. There's too many religions
Too much hatred too much greed
Ignorant people pollute the air that we breathe
We've gotta wake up now before it's much too late
Hungry people need food on their plate
People being killed for just a few pence
Can you justify that 'cause it makes no sense to me
You're growing up much too fast
The destruction of mankind - how long will it last "

Thats when he stopped himself shaking head a bit and pulling his headphones off, from the fact he hadnt heard anyone else, all the sounds came rushing back.. all about boyfriends, girlfriends, fighting, who did this and that.. but he heard an odd one indeed.. so from the ashes of my past... i'll begin a new. Finding the source of the voice he shook his head once more trying to clear his ears back to their normal volume, and then set himself a little closer so she could hear, but not many others could.

"As the beautiful pheonix rises from the fires of its own demise..."

A simple expression back, though, he was curious to see if she would understand, and reply back or as most other students, being of not the brightest pack of bulbs, would just look at him as if he were an idiot. A smile however had been placed gently on his face as he looked her over with said glance, wondering who she was however.. he hadnt seen her yet.

[Artemis]

It's been eight long years and I still find myself worrying about him... even though deep inside I'm so angered with him. If he is truly still out there then I'm sure he's fine... Maybe I was just in the way...

The last portion of her thought rang in her head like an echo. Was she in the way? Is that why he didn't return for her? Was she holding him back from something? At this moment she had just kind of stood there with her right hand on her locker door and her left holding the strap of her bookbag which was hanging down on her left side. She just spaced out a bit and fell into thought. For all this time that pain was still inside of her; that pain that nothing and no one could truly heal.

Her parents had died and she had been sent to a hell hole called an orphanage with her step brother. The only family in which she had left was him, but then all of a sudden he was gone as well leaving her with nothing and no one. Of course like mentioned before Sky came into her life and took on the big brother role but it still wasn't the same. Snapping out of her dazed thoughts, she closed her locker and locked it. She adjusted her crimson red button down shirt, which matched the red rose sticthing on the right thigh of her black jeans. Just as she swung her bag over ther right shoulder a voice entered her ears, seemingly replying to what she had said. The young girl turned around to see a extremely man standing there with a smile. Artemis looked up to him and politely smiled back before calmly parting her lips and speaking back.

"Hm.. I suppose most of the time we create what it is that we must overcome... And if we do not overcome it then we are doomed to most likey repeat it...."

Her face remained a just a straight simple stare as she looked up to this giant man. ((Look at avi for facial expression)) Truthfully she had understood what he had said, now it was the fact of the matter did he understand what she said. Did he understand the reference that she took? When he decided to respond will that question be answered, but until then Artemis would just wait.

[akada]

"History itself is nothing but ruin created by the good intentions of many people.."

A simple shrug of his shoulders came with that reply he gave to her own, tone of voice was the same, more so deeper then usual, almost like he was lost in his own thoughts, and speaking out in means of expressing those inner thoughts. Yet, what was the point of doing so if the words spoken were nothing more then gibberish.... yet next to nothhing was better then supposed nothhing at all... a smile came, drifting over his lips as he looked back to her, it wasnt the first time he had seen a teenager with intelligent mind and words, yet it was not a common thing either.. so it was a situation which called for knowing but slight interest in who exactly it was.

[Artemis]

Artemis kept her eyes upon this giant of a man as he spoke once more. In her mind she found it a bit funny how they were talking. One could say that they were almost speaking in riddles to one another. But none-the-less, he had a point. It was quite true about how history was. The young girl simply nodded before speaking herself. The same calm, soft tone emerged once more.

"Hmm... yes that is quite true... Most of the events in history don't seem to be quite well thought out do they?...

A small smile crawled over her face before returning to her normal seldom look. She would then extened her right hand formally, as a polite jesture and introduction. As she parted her lips and spoke softly and calmly once more.

"My name is Artemis Aomori.... I'm assuming you are one of the teachers here.. I'm sorry I had missed the first day assembly so I haven't gotten the chance to know who's who."

[akada]

She spoke once more in the same manner as before, though, in that he didnt mind it in the least, simply smiled over at her, letting hand come up wards and slip around her own, bringing it close and supplying a light kiss to the back of said hand before releasing, head tilting back up with his body, letting those eyes fall to her face.

"It is quite alright. I am Hiroko Katashi, the Computer and Gym teacher.. "

Other then that he did basically whatever was needed, and considering things it would be a while before he even needed to head to start a class in the first place, as at the moment all of the students were bogged down with normal classes and few would probably choose gym or Computers as their first elective.

[Artemis]

She felt him grip her hand lightly and applying a light kiss upon the back of her hand. Seemingly like a gentleman would. For this sort time that Artemis has spoken with Mr.Katashi she had found that he seemed to be quite polite. But then again appearances are very deceiving. Contracting her hand back to her side, she simply respectfully bowed to him. Most of her politeness and respectifullness had been to do her training with Sky. Just like it was said, appearances can be deceiving even hers. Bringing her body straight up once more, her honey colored orbs fell upon him as she spoke again.

"Well.. Mr. Katashi you appear to be quite a ''polite'' and ''nice'' teacher... But then again deception is a high art form. Everyone is not really who they appear to be... I take it you're only this way to those who are respectful back to you.. am I wrong? For if I am I do apologize..."

Another small smile would crawl upon her face as she awaited his response. There was a possibility that she was wrong, and if she was she would take that. But then again, he didn't seem like the type that would be nice or polite to people giving off such nonsense.

[akada]

"Looks are decieving, and as its said, I am different in my own way.. IF you show me respect, you recieve respect, I am kind to those who follow the rules.. go against them and I shall become a nightmare.. but that is my job afterall."

A simple shrug of his shoulders was given as hands slipped down into his pockets, that smile there and red and white cap hanging down off his head, hiding his eyes with a veil of blonde hair. His body relaxed in that he wasnt worried of the different methods one could come up with in order to defend their own ideals, as he had his own methods to do the exact same.

[Artemis]

"As I expected you were.. you don't come off as the typical type of teacher to me."

She smiled and shruged her shoulders as well, as she tucked some of her dark blue hair out of her face and behind her left ear. Honey orbs once again stared at this giant standing in front of her, yet she showed no signs of her being intimidated by him at all; not even from the statement that he had just made. Normally must people would be a bit intimidated by a man of Mr.Katashi's stature and/or even his words; but for some reason Artemis wasn't. She just stood there like what he said was abosolutly nothing but simply words. It even showed in her eyes that she wasn't intimidated by his prescence at all. But if he had approached her a few years back he would've met a very different girl than the one standing before him now.

"Mr.Katashi....I must say that I do quite enjoy speaking with you. You truly seem like a man of intelligence... Do you mind if I ask you one simply favor?..."

She would pause for a moment allowing him to respond if he wished. But afterwards she would say this.

"I know this is not your job or anything... but would you mind showing me around just a bit... Just necessary places I mean... But if I'm taking up your time I'm sure I'll find my way..."

[akada]

There was a low chittering, the sound of a creature moving upwards from his pocket on the inside of his jacket and climbing up onto his head, perking head up and looking around in an alert manner... Bob the Squirrel none the less. Glancing down at the female Hiroko had been talking to, it just shifted its head from side to side and finally settled itself back down on his shoulder to watch her closely. Hyper little thing..A request was taken into effect and the blonde haired male thought it over for less then a split of a second and offered his smile once more, an arm offered out to her.

"Sure thing. Just ask me any questions you might have, and I will lead away with our grand tour."

Was it his job? Of course not, but he wasnt one to leave a beautiful young lady hanging.. then again he had always had a thing for younger women.. well.. younger and older, never anything right around his age, it was probably just imbedded into his jeans... err.. not pants.. his genetic system rather.

[Artemis]

Artemis's ears picked up a small sound, seemingly a chittering sound. Her face expression changed into a 'hmm?' expression as she wondered where the sound came from, let alone what it belonged to. Then she noticed a small animal bring itself upon Mr.Katashi's head; a squirrel at that. She looked up at it, as it looked down at her and then went to rest upon his shoulder. She blinked twice before smiling at the creature.

"Cute... a squirrel for a pet."

Who wouldn't think such a thing was cute? She heard his response and glanced over to his arm that he had stuck out for her. His arms was much larger than hers and seemingly enough it would look like hers could disappear if she hooked it around his. But sure enough the young Greek/Japanese did such a thing. She calmly, gently and welcoming hook her arm around his. Even though Mr.Katashi was much older than her she seemed to enjoy talking to him very much so, matter fact he seemed to be around the same age as her adopted brother Sky. Which one could say made her feel just a bit comfortable thinking that he did remind her of him a bit. Honey orbs looked up towards him as she spoke.

"Thank you very much Mr.Katashi... and I'll make sure to ask any questions along the way..."
