Summer 4, Year 6 2:14 pm [align=center] ![]() The sun was blazing in the sky, not a cloud in sight; Kukai was glad he had worn his sleeveless shirt and capris. Wiping his brow, the brunette flopped onto the ground with a sigh. "Man...been here for awhile...and still no Kat..." Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a picture of him and a pretty blonde; they looked about thirteen in the picture. Laying back into the grass, he held it over his head and stared at it fondly. "....I'm going to find you." Sighing again, he let his arm drop, squinting his eyes. "Of course it's so hot I bet you're swimming or taking a nap...ah well." Making a fist he punched the air enthusiastically. "Not to worry! I'm going to set things right!! Yeah!"[/align] |

She had had some troubles telling if she would need anything of that sort - she had been a bit of a recluse lately, so she hadn't been around the weather enough to really tell. It was just a good thing that she hadn't worn her coat. She would have died of heatstroke if she had. </br> </br> She wasn't really sure what had brought her here, to this glade, but she was glad she was here. She liked the feeling of the long blades of grass brushign against her legs, even though here and there some scratched against her exposed skin. That was alright. It didn't bother her at all. </br> </br> Sighing contentendly, she sat down in the grass, pulling her guitar off her back from its straps and laying it in the ground next to her. She let the sun heat her face as she closed her eyes, absentmindedly rubbing her arm as she did so. It felt so good out here, in this warmth. She leaned back to lay into the grass. She just wanted to lie there forever. </br> </br> [[ holy hunkerdoodlefish. that took a while o.o ]] </br> </br> </br> </td> </tr> </table> <br> [/dohtml] |

[align=center]![]() The sound of another person walking up caused Kukai to turn his head. Well at least I won't be alo- Turning his head he went still; it was a girl. A girl with blonde hair. A girl who looked just like Kat. His eyes were wide as he stared at her; it had to be her, right? Yet...something was off. Slowly sitting up, he gazed her longer, trying to put his finger on it. Standing up cautiously, he walked towards her, his face slack with shock. "....Kat? Katarina?"[/align] |

She shouldn't have been surprised - it wouldn't have been all that hard to hide from her. All someone would have to do was stay still for an extended period of time. But she still felt a little ridiculous for not noticing that someone else was there. She should have. </br> </br> And then she felt the shadow on her face, the sudden cool air that descended upon her cheeks. Her eyes flashed open as an impulse. She knew it wouldn't help, but she hadn't been able to stop the reaction. </br> </br> The real question here was: who exactly was this standing over her, anyway? They should have said something by now. That was the normal human reaction, she'd noticed. Well, that she had seen. But from her tiny amounts of experience, of course she couldn't be exactly sure. But still. It was still a bit awkard lying there with someone standing over her. </br> </br> '....Kat? Katarina?' </br> </br> What? Well, that hadn't been at all expected. </br> </br> 'Who's there?' she asked, sitting up and clinging to one of the straps on her guitar case. It was a nervous reaction, something she'd started doing almost immediately after she'd started learning to play it. 'I'm sorry, you must have me confused with someone else.' That was the only explanation. She didn't know anyone here, did she? </br> </br> </td> </tr> </table> <br> [/dohtml] |

[align=center]]![]() 'I'm sorry, you must have me confused with someone else.' Kukai stared at the girl, staring at her eyes; she was blind. Kat wasn't blind, and she was really acting like she didn't eve know who Kat was. Still, the resemblence was uncanny, though...it had been a few years since he had seen her last. Kneeling beside her, he smiled even though she couldn't see it. "Oh....you look exactly like an old friend of mine. I'm Kukai." Reaching out, he gently took the girl's hand into his own and shook it slowly. He was still debating his head if this was her or not. Maybe if he could get her to talk, it would make sense. "So...what's your name?"[/align] |

He must be sitting down next to her, or somethign to that effect. 'Really?' If she looked like his friend, then... maybe. Maybe she knew him, from before? It didn't seem very possible - after all, there were billions of people in this world, and to run into someone she had been looking for in such a small place was bewildering at best - but... maybe it was. Maybe she could play it by ear; asking him some inconspicuous questions, or something. </br> </br> 'I'm Kukai.' </br> </br> She felt warmth on her fingers as she felt him grab her hand, then shake it in greeting. Well, that was a welcome change from other people she had met. Not very many people actually bothered to try to be kind to her in this way. True, she didn't want to feel like a complete cripple, but it was nice all the same. </br> </br> 'So...what's your name?' </br> </br> 'It's very nice to meet you, Kukai,' she answered honestly, smiling. It was nice. She'd been holed up in her house for the last few days, and the first person she met when she left was nicer to her than most people she'd known had been. It was comforting. 'I'm Aerith.' </br> </br> More or less, she reminded herself. </br> </br> Maybe if she asked some questions she'd figure out why she was so curious about him so suddenly. And, she had to admit, she was starting to get a little hopeful. Here was this boy, telling her that she looked exactly like someone he'd known. It could be the very clue she had been looking for for so long. </br> </br> 'So, your friend... who was she?' she asked. She hoped she wasn't being intrusive. </br> </br> </td> </tr> </table> <br> [/dohtml] |

[align=center]![]() "Aerith..." He stared at her, searching her face for any sign of Kat; everything she did reminded him of her, but...she acted as if she did not know him. "So...your friend. Who was she?" Blinking at her question, he couldn't help but smile. "Kat...she was my best friend growing up. And then one day, she just...ran away." He frowned, his eyes staring at the grass, avoiding the details; it just hurt too much. Rubbing his forehead he sighed, "Since then I've been looking for her, all over. And, all of it has finally lead me here." He raised his eyes and looked at her intently, "Then I see you and I guess...I got my hopes up, that it would be so easy to just bump into her here." How can she not be Kat?....how CAN she be Kat? Ohh this is far too confusing...[/align] |

There was the hint of a smile as he spoke the words; wistful. A childhood friend? What would that feel like, to always have someone there who would help you, someone who could always tell what you were thinking, perhaps. That must be a great comfort. </br> </br> 'And then one day, she just...ran away.' </br> </br> Hmm. The tone of his voice had changed. Ran away? Why would she have ran away? Hmm. This was just getting more curious by the moment. And, if she was lucky, there was a chance that Aerith could actually be his friend, from before. But running away didn't really sound like osmething she'd do. Maybe there was more to the story? </br> </br> She couldn't ask, though, because of the tone of his voice. She knew right off that this was a personal matter. She wasn't going to ask, because it was probably something he wasn't comfortable talking about. She was burning with curiousity, but she still wasn't going to ask. </br> </br> 'Since then I've been looking for her, all over. And, all of it has finally lead me here. Then I see you and I guess...I got my hopes up, that it would be so easy to just bump into her here.' </br> </br> Poor guy. He must have been searching for a while to have finally ended up in such a small place like this. Kat must have been very important to him. </br> </br> 'I hope you find her, then,' she said, leaning her knees against her chest and wrapping her arms around them, her chin resting on her knees as well. 'She must have meant a lot to you.' </br> </br> The words came out of her before she could stop them. She mentally chided herself. That was a stupid thing to say. She had told herself she wouldn't say anything. </br> </br> 'I'm sorry, things just kind of... come out when I think them. I haven't been around people for very long.' </br> </br> She hoped that would do. It wasn't perfect, but then again, when had anything she'd said been perfect? </br> </br> </td> </tr> </table> <br> [/dohtml] |

[align=center]![]() Kukai smiled at her response, then laughed lightly at her reply, momentarily forgetting his dilemma. "It's alright, don't apologize. What a silly thing to apologize for! You should always be honest, I think." His smile softening, he added, "And she was....very important to me...." Why couldn't she be Kat? If she was...then he could talk to her, convince her to come back home. But...well some of their mannerisms were the same; the way she was hugging her knees to herself for one. Most girls do that though... Clearing his throat, he tried to push the thought away. "Anyways...I see you play the guitar?" I'm getting nervous...but it's only because she looks like Kat. Or is Kat. Ohh man this is going to drive me crazy![/align] |

What a silly thing to apologize for! You should always be honest, I think.' </br> </br> 'Haha, thanks,' she said in response, her smile widening. What a relief that she hadn't said anything wrong! 'I'm just... a little awkward around people, I guess. I haven't really been around people for very long.' </br> </br> That was a bit of an understatement. Nearly two years of being around Lily, and then she set out on her own. So maybe six months. That was definitely not very long. </br> </br> 'And she was....very important to me....' </br> </br> She smiled a bit. She'd been right. </br> </br> 'She's lucky, to have someone as determined as you looking for her.' </br> </br> That one slipped out a little too early for her, as well, but it didn't bother her like her other comment had. This was a compliment, not an intrusion. Hopefully. </br> </br> 'Anyways...I see you play the guitar?' </br> </br> Hmm. She'd forgotten completely about her guitar - strange, because she was still clinging to the strap. Odd. </br> </br> 'Oh, yeah. For two years now.' </br> </br> </br> </td> </tr> </table> <br> [/dohtml] |

[align=center]![]() Kukai grinned. "That's pretty awesome! I love music myself, though, I'm not really good at it." Chuckling he looked at her gently. Kat liked music too... Coughing, he tried of something else to talk about. He wasn't normally this nervous... "Oh, um, would you mind playing a bit of a tune...? It's a bit bold for a stranger to ask..." He trailed off, not quite sure how to end the sentence.[/align] |

I love music myself, though, I'm not really good at it.' </br> </br> 'Really?' she asked, probably unnecissarily. He liked music? Well, that just sent him up to the top of her list, really. Anyone who liked music was pretty much a good person. In her book, at least. 'I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you'd get better at it.' </br> </br> It was true. It had taken her forever to learn the violin - the first instrument she'd ever played. It seemed like it had taken years, when in reality, it had only taken about four months. Durning that time, she'd also been learning the piano and the flute, but she had concentrated most on the violin. It had been hard, but after she achieved the skill level she had set for herself, it was much eaiser to get there with the other instruments she played. </br> </br> 'Oh, um, would you mind playing a bit of a tune...? It's a bit bold for a stranger to ask...' </br> </br> 'Oh, um...' She thought for a moment. It certainly wouldn't hurt anyone. All she had to do was think of something to play. 'Sure, I'd be glad to.' </br> </br> As she removed the guitar from its case, she thought about the song she'd play. Not something too difficult, but she didn't want it to be boring, either. She tuned the strings of her guitar to her liking, and then set about playing. She wasn't really even sure what she was playing until she began the song. </br> </br> [[ Silent Star ]] </br> </br> </td> </tr> </table> <br> [/dohtml] |
