Focus Shift

-Raike sighed, shrugging and closing his eyes. He silently admitted that what he had done was in fact, wrong. Although he also had to admit, that he would be laughing his ass of if Harley had pushed him down the stairs, as he did deserve it, he also guessed it would probably hurt a lot. But, unfortunately Raike wasn't the most sensitive guy, partly because he did not spend any time around people except for Ryan, who had taught him some forms of martial arts, and also taught him how to shift. Raike always seemed to be the best with swordplay though. After taking the criticism from all the other members, he silently walked to the door.-

" I'm going to get some fresh air... call me if you need me, though I doubt you will..."

- With that he headed back up to the roof, this time sitting on the edge looking down at the city, and enjoying the cool breeze-
 
"Ok, I guess thats where we truly differ" Josh said, "but nevermind that, i've got one more question, pretty irrelevant to the situation but i'm curious" he said. "Do you know how to play any instruments?" he asked, hoping she wouldn't think this too weird a question.
 
Miharu blinked. "No, I do not play an instrument sadly. I can sing though, in many different languages."
 
"All right then" Josh said, "I can play most strings instruments, possibly when this is over I can teach you" he said cheerfully. "You've answered my questions, I think its only fair I answer yours" he said, planning to answer every question honestly.
 
Anthony laughed at Harley's joke about Miharu, "It seems that she does." He was glad at least one person had joined him, even better so that it was Harley, she was nice to be around. "You might be wrong there, I know the guys will follow Miharu, but Kellyn found me, so I don't think he will join Miharu, he heard my call." He started looking at the door, waiting for it to open and Kellyn to come and join them. He turned back to Harley, "I have a tab running on the table, order and drink or food you like, the tab is on me." When he finished he picked up the menu, scanning its contents quickly before deciding on a small Caesar Salad. He waived to the waiter who leaned against the bar, and he quickly came over to them.

"Hello there sir, what would you like today?" he asked politely.
"Caesar Salad please, and cold water," he said, "oh and no ice please." he quickly added.
The waiter finished marking down Anthony's order before turning towards Harley and wincing at her wounds, "And you Miss?"
 
Miharu nodded. "Alright, however I do not feel like asking questions to Josh. I have already learnt quite a bit about Josh that I probably should not have learnt." Miharu turned her head to the side as she sneezed. "Someone must be talking about me," she joked. "I bet it is Anthony and Harley."
 
"You've learned the worst of what I am, their is no question you can ask that I believe will do anything but improve your opinion of me" he said calmly, "and yes, I would expect them to be talking about you, but that does not matter." Josh paused, "So, would anyone like to get something to eat, i've got a few million for any meal we might decide to get." he said cheerfully.
 
Miharu walked to the phone. "We can always get room service for free." She glanced at Josh and Kris. "What does everyone want? We can just order something random for Raike."
 
"I just want some pizza and salad" Josh said, laying back down on the bed. Odessa jumped up on the bed as well and laid across his chest, "Also, if this is possible, have them send up a viola as well, I feel like playing a little" he said.
 
Miharu nodded, getting Kris's order as well, and decided to order spaghetti for Raike. She had given the person over the telephone their orders. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Miharu opened the door. She was given all of the food, and the viola by one of the people who work in the hotel.

"Nice to see you again, Miharu-sama," said the person who brought up the food. Miharu blushed. "Sam can go now." Sam nodded, leaving. Miharu had turned around and set the food down. She grabbed Bishamon's pokeball. "I will go grab Raike now." She teleported to the rooftop. She appeared behind Raike. "Dinner is in the room. I ordered spaghetti for you."
 
OOC: I thought Raike had come down off the roof and was in a room joined to the hotel room everyone else was in?

IC:

Josh thanked Miharu and took the salad and pizza, observing Miharu's blush as being called Miharu-sama. "She's embarrassed about power" he thought vaguely, taking a bite of the salad after sitting the viola on the bed next to him, it was only 3/4th size so it was a little small for him but he could deal with that, he just wanted to play a song or two. He finished the salad and started on the pizza, starting from the crust and working to the point.
 
Raike sighed, hanging his head a bit before pulling himself up, and walked towards the door that opened to the roof, it seemed as he was dragging his feet though. He walked down the stairs silently, and opened the room door, and sure enough, there was the spaghetti stitting in a plate. Not too hot, but just a bit warm, just how he liked it, however he decided to take the food back up to the roof, as he was not ready to face everyone yet. He grabbed a few strands of the pasta with his fork, spinning them untill they were a ball of pasta and spaghetti, holding it up to his mouth, blowing it before taking a bite. The food was delicious he admitted, but it did not make him feel too much better, as his mind still dwelt over the events of the day. His face darkened as he thought of his brother.

"To hell with him..."



((Wii post :D))
 
Miharu, after telling Raike, went back to the room. She grabbed her food and started eating. She planned out how they were going to visit the Distortion World and she tried to remember how she got to the portal the last time she was there.

"We can stay the night here, as we are going to be teleporting to the route of Turnback Cave," stated Miharu. "What does everyone think about that?"
 
"Fine with me" Josh said after finishing his pizza, he rinsed off his hands in the bathroom sink then returned to the bed, picking up the viola. "Any request? No? I'll just play some Vivaldi then." Josh said.
He took the bow and tightened the horse hair to the right tension, then placed the bow against the strings, creating a small squeak upon the first touch. He drew the bow across the string in a slow, sweeping motion creating a smooth sound, and when he drew back their was almost no pause from the change in direction of the bow. He started on Storm, playing his best rendition of the first violins part, struggling just ever so slightly because of the change in octaves required between instruments.

When he finished he was quite pleased with the results, the first violinist part had sounded very good coming from a viola. He put the bow to the strings once again and started on Winter from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Playing well, stumbling a bit on some parts but mostly keeping on track. He finished a little out of breath, the song had some very quick parts that needed careful playing and Josh realized he probably would be a little tired still from the blood loss in his arm, but he was still pleased with the results of the song.
 
Miharu hummed along to Winter of the Four Seasons by Vivaldi. She wasn't much of a classical music fan, but she did have quite a few favorites. She did notice a few mistakes, but decided not to comment. She had already finished her food, whenever she had her mind on something else she would usually finish her food faster, and just focused on humming and the music. Although, she made sure to hum softy though, not to ruin Josh's concentration. After he was done, she nodded. "Nice Josh."
 
Before Josh could respond to Miharu's comment someone knocked at the door, he set the viola back down on the bed and answered it, expecting it to be a maid or someone who was having trouble finding their room or something. It was a man holding a Poke-ball and a letter in one hand, "Are you Josh Cross?" he asked calmly, sparking alarms in Josh's head, he tried to close the door but the man jammed his foot and stopped it.
 
-Raike quickly finished the rest of his food, watching as the sun was setting. He yawned, stretching also. Guessing he should probably go back inside he began walking back toward the door, but a smile crept to his face, indicating some sort of mischief was about to take place. He took something of his belt and held it to his face. Closer ovservation would show it to be the pokeball of Aero, the Staraptor.
*****
Raike held his hands up, yelling loudly "Whoohoo!!" The wind whipped his hair around wildly as they got faster with each flap of Aero's wings. Raike leaned forward, looking Aero in her eyes, still grinning.
"Does it feel this awesome everytime you fly like this? This is great!

-Aero's beak formed into what Raike took to be a smile, making him laugh even more, but his mind went back to the others at the cafe.-
Hey, you know where that place Anthony and Harely and Kellyn went right? Lets go check up on them!
-Aero nodded before beggining a steep dive, forcing Raike to hang on for his life. They slowed as they came closer to the ground, and landed at the doors of the cafe. When Raike looked in, he saw that the three were enjoying their meal, and left, jumping back on Aero and heading to their room. Aero stopped to hover at the window, which Raike knocked at, waiting for either Miharu or Josh to let him in-
 
Miharu stood up, raising an eyebrow at the guy at the door. "There is no one by the name of Josh Cross here. Now, could the person that is blocking the door please leave? Or do I have to make him?"

She then heard a knock on the window and saw Raike there. She sighed and opened the window for Raike.
 
"I'm not an idiot, I just asked to be polite" the man said darkly, "Now will you admit he is the one trying to shut the door or will continue to treat me like an idiot?" he asked Miharu.
 
When Raike saw the window open he dove, rolling and standing up, dusting himself off. He sent a cheerful thanks to Aero for the ride before sending her back to her pokeball. Raven, who had been sleeping in a chair looked at Raike before shaking her head and closing her eyes one more, making Raike smile-

"Thanks Miharu. And Josh, I guess I should apologize for earlier, It was wrong of me to laugh at Harely, and wrong of me to yell at you so uh yeah... sorry. Now what did I miss? And who the hell is trying to break into our room?"

-Raike took out Valkyrie's pokeball from his belt, also laying his left hand on his sword hilt.
