"That works... But..." She sighed. "I'm going to play the devils advocate." She said, already asking for forgiveness. "What if you were in the middle of the river Jason, YOU..." She walked to Robert and Alexander stand back up and then she handed them cups of coffee. "Jason, you personally should know a way of making the water fall to the ground. Weren't you the one who told me you have to concentrate for your power to work. Can ANYone tell me what you should DO to make the water disappear?!"

Robert held up a hand and she scoffed. "This isn't high school, speak your mind.

"Break your concentration?"

"Yes, I slowed your heartbeats so you could THINK not REACT. Even though it worked in this situation it may not always work. Your best guess is too yes: break the concentration!" She glanced at Jason quickly, hoping she wasn't offending him too horribly, his plan worked, but you should always think out your plans... He ended up sending his soldiers ass to the ground.

"As a water weilder, if you had to break my concentration... how would you do it. Don't say it, just... show me." She said, hand on her very thinly covered hip. She formed the balls and grinned. "3... 2... 1..." She dropped them over her heads. "Thirty seconds, don't react, think!"

Jason couldn't help but follow her hand with his eyes as she rested it on her hip. He almost didn't catch it when she said thirty seconds. He couldn't come up with a plan in thirty seconds, not even with how fast his mind ran most of the time.

'Break her concentration...' he thought. His time was already almost half gone. There was only time for one idea to hit him, and he ran with it. Before she could react, he used his speed to get inside her defense and kiss her.

The water dropped from around the other boys immediately. As soon as he kissed her she stepped back onto the water. She blinked and glanced at the other two. "Uhm." She muttered as Miko walked in. Great timing, big bro! She rolled her eyes and pushed Jason back in line without saying anything. "Good, yes, that is one way to break concentration!" She said and smirked. "However, the opposing army is all guys and this may have the same effect of concentration lost, but... I would have to knight you for your bravery in kissing a man you don't know." Miko leaned on a wall, waiting for her to finish. "I bet you are all waiting for breakfast so the last thing I want to add in this lesson is:" She took a deep breath and nodded to Miko, who used his own power to fuck with the boys minds. It created multiple images of his sister in front of them. "Which guy is controlling the water? Or guys, there will be multiple, I know for a fact there are at LEAST three." She said and then smiled. "Do not go for the guys who look like they are concentrating, do not go for the guys who are in the back. This person will have to be close, will probably be acting like a soldier, a normal guy who can talk and move and interact while still controlling the water just as I do. You MUST find this person, and distract him and I don't care by what means. Kiss him for all I care, it's your choice." She said and then nodded to Miko who ended the charm and she stepped off the water. "Go eat." She said, Miko turning to walk them back to the dining room. She caught Jasons hand however before he could follow. "You ruined my whole 'first kiss' idea. It's supposed to be sweet and gentle and slow and romantic. You smashed it to smithereens." She let go of his hand and then walked after the boys, grabbing her black sarang and wrapping it around her hips, making her look a little more presentable, but not much. But while training she hardly ever wore more than a swimming suit except maybe some shorts while running.

"Well excuse me," Jason retorted. "You told me to break your concentration. I could try again, if you like." Okay, granted it wasn't his best idea ever... But really, she wasn't complaining at the time. She didn't even slap him like he thought she would. He'd even braced himself for it. He was willing to bet that if he tried again, he could kiss her better... Not that he'd get another chance. He was fairly sure of that. A shame, since she was really attractive.

"What do you take me for?! Some seventeen year old slut?!" She asked as she spun on the heels of her feet to stare at him, but she couldn't hold that face for very long before she broke out in a grin. "I'm telling you I envision romantic. That's how it should be. I won't give you permission for a second try at my first kiss. You broke my kissing V-card! No re-do's! But you can possibly... maybe surprise me one day. I wouldn't mind... Unless you're as terrible as you seemed earlier." She teased again and then bit her tongue as she pun back around, giggling on the inside as she walked onwards. He was way too much fun to have around.

Jason caught up to her easily. She might have been standing still for all the time it took for him to get up next to her.

"If it makes you feel any better," he said, "it was my first kiss, too." Not that he hadn't had a girl or two after him in high school... And really, there were worse people to kiss. At least they were both good-looking. "Come on, you're not really mad at me, are you?" What he wouldn't give to be able to ask Andy how to make girls happy...

"If..." She stopped and took his hand and pulled him into an open spare room. "If it was your first kiss, why did you waste it like that? You could have tickled me or poked me or annoyed me by screaming in my ear. Why did you waste it with no passion, or on me? There has to have been girls in your past who have been all over you."

She sighed and let go of his hand when she saw water in basins, which were placed everywhere in her home, begin to rise. "Why didn't you wait until you had a good, normal girl your parents approve of, after the nice date you take her to her door and kiss her? I watch American movies, I know your customs. That's how you're supposed to do it, right? Why did you just ruin it with that brief kiss? And no, I'm not mad at you. You didn't know I've never been kissed nor did you know what it meant to me." She said and then sighed. "I'm still training, I can't control my powers, things happen sometimes that I don't want... I don't really have parents, they come back once or twice a year, but they are delegates in Tokyo. I don't have a mother to teach me how to do this whole... relationship thing or a dad to sit you down and talk to you... I don't have that. What I have is an older brother who hates you because you make me lose my focus... Which reminds me, we should get to breakfast."

"Why would I want a normal girl when I'm not normal myself?" Jason asked, genuinely confused. He thought that was pretty common sense. Besides, he'd never come across a girl he'd actually been interested in. "I think you've just watched cheesy romance movies." He saw the movement of the water out of the corner of his eye and glanced over out of reflex. "I don't mind that you don't have total control yet. I mean, hell, neither do I, sometimes. It just takes practice." Though he was a bit wary of her older brother... He wasn't all that keen on getting whalloped or something.

She laughed and looked at the male quietly, taking him in. "Not ONLY romance movies, I watch action movies too! Ocean's 11 and The Boondock Saints... I watched those. I don't understand American humor or slang." She said and then bit her lip quietly. "They know, right? They know something's between us? WIth that kiss and the empath... No wonder my brother came in, he spied on us last night and..." She sighed, letting out a breath she didn't even know she was holding.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but... meet me in the garden at midnight, I'll let you guys sleep in late tomorrow." She said and stood. "We should go and eat, you have aerobics again after lunch! Swell! My big bubby just looooves you."

"I think Robert thinks something is up," Jason replied. "And if Alexander walks into my dreams one more time I'm going to hit him." Then he blinked when he realized that she'd said her brother was spying on them. "Wait, what? He was spying? What for? Alright, no, stupid question..." He shook his head to try to clear his thoughts. "Alright, midnight. I'll be there." He grinned, and then took off at an easy jog (for him) towards the dining room.

Tomiko stood at the edge of the dining hall watching all the men eat and she sighed. Too much testosterone. As the princess she was designated to eat at the head of the table where her mother would sit and her brother at the other end where her father would normally sit. However, today... She sat in the middle with the boys, and her hand maid blinked then hurriedly moved her food in front of her. She didn't even have to guess her breakfast. Seafood with multiple water chestnuts. That's how she was the most healthy. She got sick with anything heavier. What she ate had to have a lot of water in it. If she wanted eggs or something like that she had to drink water with it to sustain herself. Otherwise her blood clotted and she got horribly ill. She always had a doctor and nurse in her home. They just usually stayed in the lab.

She smiled and slid a chestnut in her mouth and chewed, watching the others eat omelets and sausage and bacon and she was eating sea food. She felt sick. She finished after a couple of bites then waited on the boys. "Aerobics, next? Mind if I join? I skipped my last practice to greet you guys." Some men got wierded out when a girl practiced with them, so she figured she'd ask.

"It's not like we can stop you," Jason pointed out when she asked if she could join their practice.

"What he means to say is we don't mind," Robert translated. Jason reached over and gave him a half-hearted shove, which he habitually returned. Robert could tell there was something going on between the two, he could feel it whenever they were in a room together, but it was still muddy and uncertain.

"Thanks Robert, I didn't know you spoke for the group, but I'm glad you do. Other voices seem too just not make any sense." She said and stretched. "Cool, I'm going to go get dressed for it then, and I'll see you in the gym!" She said, taking a piece of crab and biting into it. "That is unhappy food, off the table!" She said and her hand maid immediately took it away. "Sorry, m'am." She said and the princess smiled.

"It's fine, it's not your fault. How about a salad for lunch?" The handmaid nodded and Tomiko bowed to the girl. "Thank you." She said and stood, going to her room. She got changed into small shorts, she wasn't TRYing to show off for the male. She just, happened to. She pulled on a sports bra and pulled her hair into a pony tail. Time to just blend.

"Are you trying to play matchmaker, Rob?" Alexander asked once the girl was gone. Robert said nothing, but glanced at Jason and then in the direction that the princess went. Alexander looked confused for a moment before it dawned on him. "Oh. I see now."

"You can both shut up now," Jason said as he practically inhaled his breakfast. It was an American-style breakfast, something he was incredibly grateful for after the rice and fish and everything of the night before. Trying new foods is one thing, trying to survive on them is another.

"How are you eating all of that?" Alexander asked as Jason reached for some more bacon.

"I burn it all off quick," Jason replied. "That shouldn't even be a question by now."

"I guess you would, running the way you do," Robert mused. Jason rolled his eyes, then crammed the last piece of bacon into his mouth and stood up.

"Come on, we don't want to be late."

[[I hate my laptop, it doesn't have the cool visual feature my pc does...]]

Tomiko walked into the gym and Miko grabbed her arm. "What are you playing at?" She frowned and pulled away from him.

"What do you mean? I'm being--"

"You're being an idiot, he could be the enemy."

"So could you. But I trust you, don't I?"

"Well... maybe you shouldn't." This made Tomi pissed. "Fine, get out and I'll teach them."

"You're crap at aerobics."

"I'll hire a teacher."

"Better than me? Right..."

"Are you going to be pissed about who I kiss or who I let get killed? Face it Miko, I like him and you need to just... let it be."

"He's American."

"And now you're a racist?! Whatever, you've got to train these boys or I'll have you exiled." She said and then peered out into the hallway. "Come on slowpokes!" Miko wouldn't start anything if they had an audience.

Jason rolled his eyes, but walked with the other two instead of pulling ahead of them.

"Who does she think she's calling slowpoke?" he muttered to them.

"She's flirting with you, man," Alexander said.

"They were arguing about something," Robert added. "The ripples are still lingering, but I can't tell what they were arguing about."

"It doesn't take a genius," Alexander pointed out.

Tomoki set down her water bottle and prepared to kick someones ass. "Gymnastics plays a giant role in our world of aerobics. Backbends." Moki said while Tomi flipped herself back, her legs flying into the air and landing in a straightline. "Roundhouse." Tomi followed through with the motion. "Which guy is daring to try the backbend?"

Robert glanced at Alexander, and they both nodded to one another before taking a step back, volunteering Jason. Neither of them minded working with Tomiko's brother, but they both figured that Jason would rather work with Tomiko herself. Jason blinked when he realized he's been effectively pushed forward.

"What the hell, guys?" he sighed. He didn't complain any further, though.

"Come here." She said and took the males arm, not daring to look at her own brother. "You..." She moved to his side. "Put your arms up but don't forget about your balance." She said and put a hand on his mid back. "Lean back, far back." She said and her other hand went just below his chest, trying to make this as professional as possible. "Try not to bend your knees too much, this is mostly work with your back, not with your legs or arms. It's going to hurt through here." She touched his abs and his back. "Just move with it. It's easiest when done quick."

Jason tried his best to hold back any smartass remarks as Tomiko talked him through the backbend, and he was mostly successful.

"Already can't keep your hands off me?"

Mostly.

He'd only really made the comment to annoy Tomiko's brother, who he knew was listening. He was just teasing Tomiko, he hoped she caught it. He was ready for her to hit him, anyways, just in case.

"Are you that deperate?" She asked, teasing back, knowing the other boys knew it was playful banter but it meant something to them. Especially to her brother who was glaring. "Just bend back Jason, I've got you" She said and grinned, her fingers moving against his stomach as she tried to find the best way to hold him to help him flip and land. She was more embarrassed about what would happen is he fell while she was holding him. It wasn't a great idea in the first place, but sheesh, it made her blush just thinking about it. "Please, bend?"

"I'm working on it," Jason replied as he tried to get himself through the bend. "Andy's the one into twisting herself up into pretzels, not me." He could feel his muscles stretching and prayed he didn't tear anything terribly vital. "Now here's something I thought about... Are you able to control people by controlling the water in their bodies?" He'd been wondering about it, and he was looking for something to talk about, now that they had some silence between them to fill.

"Since it's mixed with organs and such that it's flowing through, it's not a good idea to start floating water around in a persons body. It can be messy. And it takes concentration to find where the most water is contained. And don't say bladder." She said and then smirked, helping him down. Once his hands touched the floor she moved one hand to a thigh, the other on his back. "Now kick!" She said, ready to help him push the fast paced body over himself. He had strong thighs... It was hard not to notice when that was what she was feeling. And boy was she feelin it! The muscles tensed, and it made her want to feel every other muscle in his body. He was in shape, but not so much in shape. She wanted to see it all. Damn 17 year old hormones.

"I wasn't going to say that, actually," Jason replied as he flipped himself over. It was probably faster than it should have been, but he couldn't help it. "I thought maybe it would be the heart or something like that. Besides, can't you just like take control of someone's veins and control them that way?" It made sense to him, but he also didn't know what was involved in elemental control. He grinned when he felt her hand on his leg. "Can't wait to feel me up, hm?" he teased.

"Shut up before I show you what happens when I control the water in peoples bodies." And just to spite her brother she rested a hand on his neck and winked. "Next!" She said and her brother stepped forwards. "Alright. So flexibility helps avoid attacks--" The day went on like that, always pulling up someone to show an example. By the end they were practicing flexibility by fighting without moving their feet. Her hair was still in it's pony tail and while the men sweat, she glistened with energy. Water just drifted away from her when she got hot and was working out.

"Alright, break. It's 10 in the morning and you guys still haven't done your running. Alexander come here." She said, who'd been practicing with Robert. "Have you been sleeping on your side?"

"Yeah, I think I slept wrong on the plane, I haven't been able to sleep on my back since then." She sighed and nodded, taking his hips and pulling him in until one touched hers. "Your left hip is out of place. Take a deep breath. Good." As soon as she said good Moki clicked it up and into it's correct position. "Go to the doctors in the west wing and have them look at you. No running today, just restso you're not overworking it. Sorry about the pain." She said and stepped away. "The rest of you, 4 miles at minimum. That means you too Moki." She said and smirked, opening the doors, and getting a head start. It wouldn't last long with Jasons speed.
