*Raiko Zyacki walked into the ground of Shinzinki's School of Martial Arts. His 3 Katana's hung against his belt, gently flapping back and forth. He felt the wind push his shirt onto his scar. He looked around at the faces staring at him. He grinned. He was the new attention around. He walked past them and went into the school [Or dojo]. He looked around at the people training. He wondered when he could get started.*

Ashitaka shrugged, "Might as well reveal ourselves." He said aloud, but quietly. He dissapeared that instant and could be seen on the rooftop of part of the school. He stood, straight and tall, seeing the other students fight. He stayed silent and watched.Rin looked at the sky and saw clouds rolling in from the west. "Great..." He looked toward the east and spotted the form on the roof. He smiled as he recognized his Shishou. He kept his mouth shut and waited to see what he would do.
Raiden could barely hear the tiles of the roof softly bend,as though a mouse had walked upon them. He looked, to see a teacher, starring towards the east. The sight was both breath taking, and aw inspiring. Raiden however, composed himself quickly, and jumped up onto the roof to join this new acquaintance of his. He too barely made a ruffle on the roof. He bowed as was accepted, however he did not rise as was custom. "I have brought myself to you, not out of disrespect or arrogance, but rather of humility and admiration" he continued to remain bowing, hoping the teacher would have accepted his apology.
Ashitaka smiled and flicked his hand up, "Your apology is not needed here, but excepted nontheless." He laughed a bit and pointed to Rin, and then to where he stood. "So, student. Do you wish to be a pupil of my own, or need questions for me to answer?"
Rin jumped swiftly up to the spot, as silent as his teacher, bowing once and then rising again.
"What ever is your will, teacher," he replied returning to an upright position but still remaining composed. "I do have a question though," he was quicked to add, "who is the grand master teacher for this school? Or is there one? Back at the monastary, from where I was transfered, we had several teachers and a grand master teacher. Does this school follow similar costums?"
Ashitaka nodded, "That we do.. But our Grand Master doesnt reveal himself unless it is extremely needed." He nodded to Rin, and Rin smiled back. "Now... You may join me, or come under the tutelage of someone else. It shall be your choice and until you choose me... That is 'if' you choose me, I shall view you as an equal." Ashitaka said. He saw no reason to view someone else under him until they pledged themselves to his teachings.
(I think I'm done with this one for tonight, I'll be on tommorrow though.)

(Auviore)
Raiden nodded to the response, "I will have to get back to you. For now, I will go and continue to find my bearings in this new home." He bowed once more and left Ashitaka's presence to learn more of the school.
James ran over to Ashitaka and bowed deeply. "Master... please teach the ways of martial arts... I swear to use then wisely."
Ren looked around and saw James bowing to someone new. "That must be one of the masters... he doesn't look much older then me." Ren said to himself.
"Martial arts keeps one healthy... good health keeps you young." Said a young looking man who seemed to appear out of nowhere. Ren jumped slightly when he saw the person who had snuck up on him without even trying. "I'm Master Tien... would you like to learn martial arts?" He asked Ren cheerfully.

"I swear that I will never miss use my skills and use them only to protect those who can't protect themselves... that is why I must be strong." James said as he bowed deeply again.
Ashitaka jumped from the roof as Rin did and landed without a sound. He smiled at James and asked, " I will take you as my pupil, but only if you pledge to be honorable and to work as hard as you can in the ways of Shinobi, now, will you?" He looked deeply at him, smiling still.
James nodded. "Yes sir!" He said as he stood up strait, then he went to talk to Ren. "I'm sorry we weren't properly introduced earlier, my name is James." He said politely.
Ren looked over at James. "No problem kid... my name's Ren." He said, nodding at James.
Tien stood next to Ashitaka. "They seem like good kids... Try not to be to hard on James." Tien said, looking down at his right arm, which he kept hidden most of the time. "He is young and will probably learn quickly, but I can see by the way he moves that he has had a lot of trouble getting to where he is today. Judging from the scars on his face and the patch over his eye he is lucky to be alive. Please watch over him... until now, he has had no one else to care for him." Tien said as he watched James talk to Ren cheerfully.
*Raiko found his room, number 57. He threw his stuff down, grabbed his swords, and went outside, hoping to find his trainer. He sat against a tree and meditated for awhile. He listened around him. The birds chirping, the sound of footsteps against the soft grass, and the sound of the wind blowing gently and people breathing.*
