Okay so second day of school and still no sign of her uncle. This was starting to get ridiculous. She was sure he was around here. She had heard bits and pieces of information about him, but nothing solid. Gods!! Was the man in hiding. What about the rest of the Dragons? Had they run off and all joined the circus?
She as starting to wonder. Sitting in class she would look at the clock. She still had a couple hours til school was out and she could again start to look for him. You would think for him being a teacher he would be easy to find. But nooooo not in this place. What had the leader of their clan been thinking by sending her here with no real information?
Wait, she knew that answer. He was testing her. Of course. If she could find her uncle on her own then good for her...but if not, and she returned to ask for help..Pft! Yeah like that would happen.
So here she sat, her blond hair falling down around her slender form as she tapped her pencil lightly upon her desk. Dressed in a pair of camo cargo pants and a black tank top a pair of combat boots on her feet. She did not look like the girl who had been raised to be nothing more than a good wife and mother to a strong warrior.
"Would Astrid Sudeki please report to the office?"
The intercom came on calling her to the office. She raised her brow...what the???
Oh yeah! They had her latest school information she had been bugging them for. Duh!
Grabbing her bag she would stuff her book, binder and pencil down into it and then zip it up, slinging the backpack onto her shoulder and nodding to the teacher on her way out.
Soon enough she was in the hallway, headed to the office. Hmm..well at least if Leon had been in the school he would have heard her name and perhaps realize she was here for him to train finally. If not perhaps somebody else would? One never could tell what would happen.

Gabriel had been sitting in the halls. His appearance slanted across at an angle waiting for something to happen. Of course it was a ridiculous concept, all of his credits were completed he realistically didn't even have to continue on her any longer but something always kept him attatched to the public high school. Ws it the sense of control? Familiarity?
"Would Astrid Sudeki please report to the office?"
A curious gaze formed in anticipation. Didn't they mean Spike Sudeki? No Astrid was far too off from Astrid. Gabriel turned up from his place and proceeded to the front office a sense of adventure and amusement within him. It was always a pleasure to meet a Sudeki.
"Dana, would you mind introducing me to the Miss Sudeki."
"Mr. Seran, this is a matter that doesn't concern you."
Gabriel smiled charmingly, "Then make it concern me.."
"I'm sorry... its not yur concern.." She nearly spat standing up and walking back into the office. A calm smile as he didn't panic and shifted towards the front entrance and kept a close eye there. He'd meet this Sudeki soon too.

Sure enough, it did not take long for Astrid to make her way to the office. A light sigh as she pushed her way through the door, her brown eyes set about to look over the area and search out whoever had called her. Her eyes falling upon a some guy, who obviously was a student here...or at least used to be. But not somebody you would see working in the office.
A smile given as she nodded in his direction and then moved inward. Nobody in sight right off hand causing her irritation to rise.
"Yo. You called me? Astrid Sudeki? You would think that somebody would be here to tell me why the hell I am missing out on the last 20 minutes of class."
A slight growl offered as she noted that currently she was being ignored. Ugh! She really hated being rude but come on!! This was ridiculous.
Then a woman would pop her head out of a doorway to look at her.
"I would like for you to remain quiet young lady...I will be with you in a minute."
She rolled her eyes.
"Then why didnt you call me out in when you were ready?"
Not waiting for a reply as she moved to stand against the wall, her bag hitting the ground with a light thump as she sighed.

Gabriel would sigh in response to her reaction, a calm waft of breath escaping his lips calming him at first, focusing everything into one fluidity. He offered a close smile not bothering to say anything at first as he fiddled in his pockets searching for something shortly just after finding that he was well enough off without the article he'd been looking for.
"Don't you hate it when that happens?" Gabriel would say in little above a murmur.
He shacked his head making a cool clicking from his mouth without much problem or concern. This would be slower than usual, for this was a Sudeki, respect was required. "People turning you away even though they set you up there at the start."
A small laugh as Gabriel clutched the rim of his pea coat ruffling at the edges to conceal the nape of his neck by the rustle of the sputtering air conditioner. "Sorry, I get a bit carried away at times." A flawless charming smile shifting his gaze back and forth in a single beat, "I'm Gabriel..."

Those brown eyes shifted to the male as he spoke. A friendly smile coming to her lips as she shifted her body to face him. A few blond curls falling into her face as she tilted her head lightly.
As he introduced himself, she would step forward, her small hand coming out in a gesture to shake his.
"I am Astrid. Though I am sure you know that since SOMEBODY....called me through the speaker system"
A glare cut toward the door where the woman had disappeared into. Nah! That was not the an attempt to rile that womans feathers again. Never!! Shaking her head she would turn back to Gabriel.
Part of her wanted to ask if he knew her uncle..but she was trying to be a little more....composed about the matter.
Assuming he shook her hand, she would draw it back. A sigh passing her lips as she once again leaned back against the wall.
"So, what brings you to this warp in the space time continuum known as the office?"

Gabriel stood there leaning calmly on the door attentive with her short and subtle movements. His crimson gaze searching her onservantly with a curious ideal; She was a Sudeki, the others he'd managed to meet being Spike and Leon were incredibly powerful. Was she just the same?
"A pleasure..." Gabriel remarked moving far enough from his wall to extend a hand.
Multiple ideas popped up in response to her exsistance, parts of them all too akin to his old personnas, mostly revolving around kidnap but over the past month he'd played that card all too many times. Perhaps for once he could manage the pleasantries.
"Well I was here to sign out a few forms for my graduation but when I heard a Sudeki was here I couldn't help myself." Gabriel shot a charming grin managing it out easily.
"So what brings you to the grand ol' 259?"

So he knew the name..She wanted to ask, but for the life of her she did not want to get her hopes up. No, she would play it cool for now. It was the best course of action.
"I am here in search of my uncle. I was sent to train with him."
She nodded. Okay so yeah..that was a pretty good start. At least she was not pleading with this guy for answers as to where Leon was right?
"But for the life of me I have yet to find him or my cousin..or any of the Dragons. It is getting to be a pain in the ass."
She had heard rumors of the gang, had heard tell of how they were some of the most powerful beings around. But could she find them? Noooo not her..Why did things have to be so hard!?
~Cause if they were easy then it wouldnt be no fun?~
Oh yeah...that was why. But still!
Her eyes falling over this guy. She was not sure what to think about him. He seemed nice enough, to her at least. But given her recent past, she was not too inclined to trust anyone right away..Especially since she knew that somewhere in this area there was at least one Katashi family member. Be it legitimate or not...

Gabriel grinned nodding slowly as he heard the girl out progressively. So she was a young Sudeki in search of training from Leon, that was quite exciting Gabriel knew what it felt like to be trained by the man, quite often pushed your limits to beyond their measures. Its partially what had gotten Gabriel to the level he was at now. Of course, the Dragon within him sprung forth the ideal of consistently working harder to become far more powerful than the rest was also an aiding ambition he strove for.
"I am the Nova Dragon, and I believe I know your uncle very well, Leon Sudeki I imagine?" Gabriel smiled with a quick sense of intensity before flicking his attention away.
There was a problem afoot, they had time but in moments it'd descend upon them. Call it a sixth sense, the first impression was the Reapers, though they'd been all but wiped out or abandoned from their old Hierarchy. Yet another said pillars, but Gabriel knew well enough of their weak and scattered nature, already they'd been systematically broken down.
They had a good five minutes to spare, perhaps he'd take this slower. Maybe get to make a daring escape but all the while he was still waiting on more information from Astrid.

She could not help the smile that curled on her lips at the mention of himself being the Nova Dragon. She had heard of him indeed. Then he spoke of her uncle and those brown eyes lit up.
"Yes! That is him! I cannot believe I finally have some clue as to where he is!"
She would have been bouncing up and down if it was something she did, but as it were she just leaned back against the wall and continued to smile. This was good. Finally some information she could use.
"Please tell me where I can find him. I have been looking for him or Spike...anyone of them. But they are so hard to find. I was scared I would run into a Katashi before I ran into one of them."
She growled out the last name. The hate she felt for that family clear with the look in her eyes as she spoke. Yes, they had murdered her parents and she would forever hate them. Despite what anyone said.

Gabriel's pleasant expression disappeared slightly, unfortunately he hadn't seen the two of them in some time now. He was beginning to wonder himself, there was a time when Gabriel trained under Leon however brief that time frame was. He'd in fact been searching for the pair in recent events.
"I'm sorry I don't know where they are, though chances are you could challenge them or even declare yourself a Dragon and they'd hear word of this and have to combat you." Gabriel chuckled at his poor joke shifting up slightly.
A Katashi? Wasn't Katsuri... and Kevala. That was potentially in poor graces that they'd managed this. Yet again Leon would surely put in some frame of a good word to protect them, till then Gabriel would remain silent on the matter.
"I think it'd be best to maybe wait on these....fine....ladies to help us out here." Gabriel smiled hinting at sarcasm.

She was getting so tired of nobody knowing where they were. It was really a pain in the ass if you thought about it. Leon was one of the most respected and feared fighters of his time and yet people could never find the man! Gods!!!
But she would not give up. It was not in her to do so. His last comment got a little grin and raise of her brow.
"Oh yes. These fine ladies. We most definately should wait around and conform our busy lives to meet their needs. I mean gods forbid we interupt their little gossip session in the back room."
She rolled her eyes and then would snicker lightly.
"Of course you know what they are saying right? Something along the lines of Just look out there. That Sudeki girl has a mouth on her. I bet she is gonna be just as much trouble as the rest of her family.
And assuming you are the guy I have heard about around school in my never ending search for Leon it is most likely followed with Oh and she is talking to Gabriel now. Just a bunch of trouble waiting to happen. I should call Lisa and give her all the dirt while I make them wait."
She was a very sarcastic and not so nice girl if pushed the wrong way. But she was entertaining to say the least. Heh

A sly grin rose to the short remark. It seemed Gabriel's reputation preceded him. Almost as usual it would seem, he'd remembered the good old days when the opposition would tell students to stay away from him, yet what they didn't understand is what it caused. Attention even though it was negative gave him power and soon enough all that power became embodied unto him.
"Well I'm sure it's not all that bad..." A low chuckle and charming smile as he curled around the front desk snatching up an apple placed on the desk. With a sooth motion he bit out of it tasting the sweet ambrosia.
Crimson eyes trailed inside at the gaggle of secretaries chuckling about a random string of insiders that were passed around the office quite a few times earlier. His hand sparked for a second as it was placed on a stack of papers. The small plume of smoke shot up on the stack and Gabriel moved to sit as the flames rustled.
"MR SERAN!" the one who'd escaped earlier shot out of her chair swatting at the pile of papers.
"Pardon?" Gabriel smiled innocently crossing his legs on his seat not batting an eye.

She let a grin curl on her lips as she noted those papers smoking. Oh yeah...she liked this guy. Those eyes shifting to the woman who hurried to stop them from catching fire.
"Good lord. I did not know she could move that fast. Makes you wonder why it is taking so freaking long huh?"
She spoke more then loud enough for the woman to hear, and hence why she got a "i wish you would die" look from her. To which Astrid would just smile and bat her eyes innocently.
Her hands coming to rest in front of her as she turned her attention back to Gabriel.
"So, I just have a question. Is it true that my cousin Spike is dating a Katashi?"
She was certain this guy would know. And yeah...she had to know that such a thing was not true. It just couldnt be.......Not after what they had done to her family.

The soft stench of fire disappeared to Gabriel's own little dismay, he was hoping he could get away with burning it all down this time, perhaps maybe he'd have another run in with the pillars again good times. Aside from feeling nostalgia course through him for a brief moment he stood there debating his choice of answers when she noted that a Katashi was in league with the Sudeki clan.
Yes he knew of the war between them from bouts of short conversations with Leon but to the extent he knew not. From what he could tell, Leon and Katsuri were odd parts of the war, easily finding means to ally at times to fight greater foes. Gabriel personally marveled at it hoping in time he would perhaps manage to fight at such levels.
"Indeed, I suppose you already know of her, Kevala who is under the protection of your Uncle and by separate association me as well."
Gabriel would say softly passing the subtle threat across hoping he wouldn't have to implement said action.

She felt anger rise in her at the mention of this girls name. Kevala huh? Heh....the fact that she was under her Uncle's protection as well as Gabriel's was a bit of a upsetting fact. Something she would have to take into consideration.
"No..I have not met this....Kevala person.."
Obvious dislike in her tone. She held no love what-so-ever in her for any member of their clan. She just could not believe that her Uncle would protect one. What was so fucking special about this girl that she gained so many people's protection?
"Though I am sure I will meet her soon enough."
She sighed as she tried to force back the anger she felt. No, she could not touch this girl so long as Leon protected her, and Spike would probably kick her ass. Not to mention she got the feeling the guy in front of her would not be too happy about it either. But still....did not mean she would have to like it.
Looking about the office she would roll her eyes.
"Come on! I am growing old just standing here!"
Hoping to get those cackling hens on the ball.
"Perhaps if you do see my Uncle you could tell him I am looking for him? I need to start training. I cannot keep waiting."
