Yumiko just laughed, something she desperately needed. "Where are Kimi and Kiki?" She asked. Just at that moment the Twins fell through the chimney. "Ach! kazel!" kimi coughed, wiping her face of the soot and coal dust. "How do you manage this," She muttered. Both the twins had yet to figure out Kazel. Their princess's great bumbling oaf was their greatest mystery. "Are you alright Princess?" Kiki asked, concerning herself with Yumiko's safety, unlike her sister who was desperately trying to wipe the dust off of herself. "I'm fine," She said to the two.
Alister had been told that he wasn't needed anymore that day, and he was paid, a large sum as the government always did. He was also informed that there was going to be a great chance that he would be requested again in what they knew was going to be an upcoming war. It was never mentioned to him just WHAT the war was about, but there had been long talk of them taking over Nipon because of it's lands having great magical properties. The people of Nipon were elementals, which meant it was natural that the land would be a great resource.

Kazel blinked, looking at Kimi "Hey! You're black too!" he said, laughing, though then blinked "Oh, and their right there" he said, pointing at the two "Midgets be here"
Alister just took the money and told them where he can be reached if needed agian. He didnt care for their reasons for startng this, considering how srong Nipon was, it was insane to attempt something so insane. They were all dead men walking to him. He just decided to go to the hotel where he had told the annoying girl who's name he still didnt know. Check and see if she's still there, or decided to run away back home.

Not only was Jo in the hotel, but she had commandeered herself a nice bucket of water and was sitting on the floor of the hotel room. All the windows were open, which was simply too her licking, since it was a nice summers day, and there was no need to sit in a stuffy room. She had spent a lot of her time sleeping. She may have been eager, but she was wasn't stupid. If she were to try anything when dead tired she'd get no results and end up getting frustrated, and with that she would some how manage to blow the roof sky high, even with just that bucket of water.
Jo would seem quit content with herself when Alister would walk in, sure, of course, she was soaked and that was actually her second bucket, but on top of the water a small ball of water floated, a little bit bigger then a fist. She couldn't get it to move, and it was taking all her effort to keep it in place, but apperantly she had found her trick to make it work. She sat there with her eyes closed, humming, and apperantly that distracted her enough to get good results.

When Alister returned however, he was far from impressed. What she was doing others could others could do within the first five minutes of practice, and she's been trying this for two days now, and she's had this ability as long as she can remember? And only now she manages to do this? This was still a very sad sight. She may be proud, but Alister was still frustrated at just how much she failed at doing the simplest of things. And just to try and see if she's at least improved a little bit, he forced a small, pebble sized ball of water to rise up, and into the ball she had made. Seeing if she could still keep it afloat with that disturbance, and still keep that ounce of water there.

Jo hadn't even noticed that he had entered, and there for didn't open her eyes. She didn't notice that the extra amount had been added, and there for she didn't freak out about it. Here Alister could understand her underlying problem. Jo literally couldn't think about what she was doing. She put the tiniest amount of thought it small things like this and she would cause something to explode. Doing simple things like this were supposed to be instinct for her. She should've been able to do them with out the least bit of thought. She couldn't think about what she was doing, she had to feel it. Closing her eyes and humming was the best way to do it. When she relaxed a little more, the water seemed to move the same way her body swayed when she hummed.

"...." 'Interesting...lets see how far thos goes.' he then made the bucket soundlessly move away, and continued to slowly add water to the ball. Adding drop per drop into it, seeing just how much she can handle when she's un-aware of it. He was starting to get an idea as to where this ability from hers comes from...and the urge to whack her upside the head was increasing by the second.

Jo was totally zoned out. She wasn't even thinking about what she was supposed to be doing anymore. If she wasn't actually holding up every drop he put in, she'd probably be in trouble for just lazing about, because that was all she was really doing at this point. She even flopped onto her back and opened her eyes, staring up at the ceiling now, YET to notice that Alister was there, or to look over at the little ball, which was now spinning in a small orbital as she twirled her finger through some of the blue strands of hair.

"......." a vein appeared on Alisters forehead 'She's a water demon...' Now he was angry. The way humans are taught to control water is COMPLETELY different from the way water demons do it. This entire thing was just a waste of time, he could have just told her at the lake what to do to control it and be done with it. He didnt have to bring her with him, he could have just told her that little fact and be done with it. But no, her leaving that little important fact out, caused him to look and feel like an Idiot "...." he clenched his fist, basicaly grabbing the ball, pulling from her control, moving it infront of her face, and then he quickly swung his fist down, the ball of water baiscaly punching her right in the face.

"YEOUCH!" She screatched, shooting up and rubbing her face, now wet and in pain. She REALLY couldn't remain dry could she. She looked around and found herself staring up at Alister's angry face. She pulled herself to her feet. "What was that about?" She asked, shaking her head to dispell most of the water droplets. "Ouch," She muttered, rubbing her nose. That really had hurt badly. "What do you want~" She whined, looking up at him.

Sever more veins appeared on his head "May I ask why you didnt tell me that you are half water demon?" He asked. "If you had told me that I could have just told you what to do and leave you there at you're bar..." he said, his anger still rising "When you're having trouble controling water, and you're a water demon, you dont leave you're race out, it matters, A LOT." He said. "Give me one good reason as to why I shouldnt throw you out the window." He said. Aperantly despite his 'cool' demeanor, he could get angry, very angry.

Now the man looked weird when he was nonchalant, but when he was mad he was just plain scary. "I thought it was obvious," She said against her better judgment. "How many girls go around with blue hair!" She said, only raising her voice a bit. She was, at this moment, quite scared of him, but since she really couldn't just turn and run her fighting instinct kicked in. "I mean that's not a fact I go around sharing with people. That'd be like putting a big red target on my back that said 'Abomination ready to be cleansed!' !" She said, well, now almost at shouting volume
Despite that shouting though, it wasn't that she wasn't scare of him, it was quite the contrary, he could be quite frightening, but her instincts told her that just standing there and wetting her pants while she quivered was just going to fuel that whole useless thought an get her thrown out the window even quicker.

"I'm walking with a target on my back all the time, you dont see me complaining." he said, having just about enough of her. First she turns out to be very annoying and imcopmpitent. Then he finds out she's a water demon, something she oh-so accidentaly left out. And now she's talking back. He had had just about enough of this little princesses additude "Just die already." He snapped, pulled his hand back, and shoved it forward, the wind practicaly exploding, sending every item in the room at the wall, and Jo right through the open window. Now, she was practicaly sent FLYING. But oh so ironicaly, she was sent flying right into a calm river.

Jo Freaked! There was no thought going on in her head what so ever. Just pure adrenillian and panic. Alister was probably going to just tell her not to think, and she'd have perfect control, but this was much not the case. It worked on small things, when she was calm, but when panicked, scared, and having prophecies of death, there was the largest reaction she had ever accomplished. The moment her body made contact with the water the entire river for a good half mile shot 40 feet into the air, becoming a perpetual wall. This reaction was more then just a pillar then a big splash, which is what he had felt last time, but also the only reaction Jo had ever gotten, this time, instead of just being a large release, the water actually seemed to follow some power of will. After shooting like a wall of fountains for a few seconds the half mile of river, starting at the bend closest to the hotel, started to lurch foreward in a tild wave, a primative, and simplest of water related attacks, head in Alisters general direction.

Alister sighed "Hmm?" He got curious when he heard screaming and felt a large surge in magical power, aswell as the natural sound of a massive amount of rushing water. He lookied out the window, noticing the tidal wave heading his way. He sighed "Impressive...now if you only actualy had control over it." he muttered, shaking his head. Now even he would have problem stopping this amount of water, and moving it back into its place. And since he didnt feel like exerting himself. He did the next best thing. He made a small, but extremely hot ball of fire run its way right through the entire 'wall' of water. Evaporating it into a very thick mist. "Its going to rain a lot for the next week." he muttered.

Unfortunately that little act had drawn quite a bit off attention from people Jo probably didn't want attention to be had from. The evaporate water left the river, at the moment, inches deep, and Jo was laying in the center of the little river. She was out of it for only a few moments, before she stood up, or attempted to. She had exerted far more power then she was used to, and the sudden rush made her weak and tired. When she attempted to stand she once again splashed right now into the water, leaving her cold, muddy, and once again wet. She looked around, having mentally blacked out for a second. It took her a moment to comprehend what she had done, and like always, the only thing that left her mouth was an "oops..."
