Wastelands . . . [Private]

The area was still, and motionless, like no one had even thought about going near it for years. The stone pillars that were scattered here and there glared down at any and all who dared pass by, the rough ground showing its scars that the world had placed upon it proudly. In the middle of it all, standing on one of the highest pillar was a young girl, dressed in as little clothing as possible. From a distnce she looked like a blur of black, then pale white, then black again with spiked black hair. Where as up close she was a much prettier sight. Wearing black knee high zip up boots, black bikkini botoms that hugged her skin tightly, the next tightest thing she wore was the black lace up corset that squeezed her breasts together while still keeping them modestly covered, on her shoulders were two different colors of loose lace, the right was covered by white lace while the left was covered in black, on her right arm up to her elbow was a black fingered glove. Her face was one of stone cold dispostion, her near black eyes sparkling as the sun hit them gently, her hair falling on either side of her face, covering most of the cresent moon surrounding her left eye.

Why she was standing on a pillar in the middle of practically nowhere, she had no idea, but it was always nice to get away and think, not deep thoughts, just simple thoughts. So as she eased her weight onto her other leg she took one quick analyzing glance around her, Still no one in sight . . . She had this wierd feeling something was gonna happen or someone was going to come, yet every time she looked around nothing was there, but the barren land. She looked down at her feet closing her eyes after a few seconds before raising her head back to the sky, Something happen already!

- Shido stood on top of a large, battle worn stone, leaning toward a pole, his right arm brought up, his elbow pressed against it. His forehead rested on his arm. His other hand was pulled infront of his face, there was a small, green dragonfly resting on his finger. The dragonflies thin, clear wings lightly fluttered as it communicated with Shido. Shido was on a quest, one he always did with his free time, in search of a rare specimen of insects, one which fit the description of his grandfather, Shikuro Aburame's unique insects. Shido nodded, giving a light blow, the Dragonfly lifted off, beating it's thin, fragile wings, and setting off, flying away. Shido pushed against his forearm, knocking himself backwards from the pillar, small bits fo sand dropping from where he had his arm resting. Shido turned, looking off into the anchient looking area.

The wind whipped across the opening lightly, Shido's razor cut hair fluttering against, strands of hair whipping against his face. He shirt was also being ruffled, raising slightly as the wind beat against it, showing off his abs. Shido noticed in the distance, infront of the setting sun, a figure. One which hung still atop one of the pillars. Shido needed to investigate, he brought his hands up, closing them in a seal which resembled Kai and closing his eyes. He performed Shunshin Moving with great speeds, which seemed to teloport him, across the opening, and up the scarred, cracked statue designed poles. Shido appeared on top of one, several meters away from the girl, but close enough to see her face.

The drowning sun, setting behind the mountains had cast a glow, the orange luminous rays dancing upon the young girls blond streaks of hair, lighting them up, while the black stood out, the orange complimenting it. The tight black outfit seemed to reflect the rays, some parts of it shifting in color, the light filling the cracks and crevaces of her outfit, bringing out her beautiful appearance even more. Shido's eyes nearly closed, half in disappointment, the other in awe. It was most likely just the way the sinking sun cast rays, which bounced across her body, and drew out her elegance, but deep down, Shido could feel a sense of yerning for her. Though he couldn't help but face the fact, he didn't want the girl, it was only lust. He had a mission, and the girls charm upon standing in the suns glory would not persuade him other wise.

Shido cleared his throat, looking at the young lady emotionlessly through his deep brown eyes, stating his question. -

Shido: "Have you seen... any strange insects?"

Kaname rolled her shoulders stretching her stiff muscles, what had it been? Four and a half hours of standing and shifting her weight from foot to foot, and not moving her arm, excluding the occasional twitch from the lack of movement. She closed her eyes once mroe concentrating on the setting sun behind her eyelids, feeling the heat slowly decrease as the sun sets below the horizon. In the middle of her thought process a voice spoke, "Have you seen... any strange insects?" it said, she noticed a tone of emotionlessness in his voice, that not only attracted her but made her want to change it drastically.

She slowly opened her eyes, catching the beauty of the sunset hit her face full on before slowly turning her head to where the voice had come from and what she laid her eyes on nearly made her stone cold expresionless face break into shock. Even though the boy had mentioned bugs,which to her were disturbing, he was incredibly good looking. His black hair messy and falling into his gorgeous red eyes slightly. His lightly tanned skin, a little more orange than what it would normally be and his expression one of non-emotion just like hers.

It took Kaname a few seconds to get over the fact that her mind was telling her to be cautious and asume the worst while her body was telling her to do quite the opposite. Instead of doing either she kept her emotionless manner and spoke back to him like it was a normal everyday occurance to have a converstion in the middle of nowhere. "No, im sorry, Why are you looking for them?"

- Shido's eyes lay emotionlessly on the young female's body, not moving away, and not locked on, only by coincidence, did it appear as if he was staring. The orange shroud of light which rained across the horizon, blistering the mountain tops, and flustering the young girl, drawling out her most angelic qualities, began to sink; The orange tips were now starting to sink behind, causing the mountains in the distance to glow a sort of purple color, darkness was coming upon the battle drawn area. The wind brought along burst of icy air, stinging against their skins; the sound of crickets 'chirping' could be heard in the distance. The setting and enviroment was so right, yet somehow, Shido could yet to feel anything for the young lady.

She seemed to be in the same dazed and confused state as him, eyes locked on one another, though not truly looking at anything in particular. The thought of gaining his treasured insect broke him free of the thoughts, he brought his hand up slowly, sliding it across his bangs, sweeping his deep black hair to the right, unveiling his dark brown eyes. -

Girl: "No, I'm sorry, Why are you looking for them?"

- Shido sighed, his breath turning to a light grey fog from the low temperatures. He brought his arms back, sliding his hands into the pockets of his black shinobi slacks. She had no information either. IT would seem that this would possibly turn into the same results as all of the other times. On the other hand, Shido began to compinplate asking the girl to accompany him to help search for the bugs. Usually he would disapprove of asking for help, especially from a stranger, but there was strength in numbers.

Leaping forward, Shido brought both legs up, his black hair sliding back, out of his face, his breath trailing behind him, slithering into the darkening sky. He landed, locked in a crouched position, one knee pressed against the torn tiles, the other on his foot. Shido pushed up, bringing his hands out of his pocket, and infront of him. He held out his index finger and seemed to be muttering something, each word releasing a small whisp of air. Several Kikachu began to emerge from the sleeve of his shirt, crawling gradually down his forearm, until they reached his finger tip. Three small, black and grey insects lined up in a straight line, all facing Shido. He slowly turned, keeping his hand where it was, and looking at the girl. -

Shido: "I haven't asked your name yet... And also... Want to accompany, on my search?"

- While he was facing the girl, and asking her a question, at the same time the bugs began to take off, their wings dragging them off into the air as they scattered. Shido took one last time to look over the looks of the girl, to see if she was worth asking to come along or not. Though her outer appearance came off very genuine and beautiful, a part of Shido pushed it away. Shido wasn't there for a girl, he was there to find an insect, and if the girl wasn't going to work well, then he wouldn't need her. -

Kaname watched as the boy talked, her eyes tracing his facial features like an artist would if he were to draw a beautiful picture, his perfect pale skin covered by dark hair a gorgeous combination. A strong jaw, that always seemed to be set to take any sort of bad news, and keep a straight face while he got it. She flicked her eyes around and silently watched the sun set slowly below the horizon, feeling the heat begin to drain from her skin as she was reveiled to the true cold of the night, even though when she looked at everything around her and felt a surge of emotion that was unknown to her all she had to do was look at the boy to feel the usual emotionlessness. But why?

She watched him push his dark hair back reavealing more of his dark brown eyes, the slight look of disappointment and carelessness cross in his eyes as he sighed, his breathe creating a fog which dissapeared in a few seconds. She watched as the bugs came ouf of his sleeves, keeping a straight face yet imagining how other girls taht she knew would have reacted if they had seen that, a slight smile crossed her lips before dissapearing as she heard his ask

Boy: "I havn't asked your name yet . . . And also . . . Want to accompany me, on my search?"

This perked her interest and as she thought it over she shifted her weight to her other foot and ran her fingers through her hair, she turned her eyes to watch the sun finally dissapear, and if she concentrated on herself long enough she would feel the power that she gained as the night came, she knew the 'tatoo' surrounding her left eye was raised now, making a raised indention on her skin of the design. She turned her nearly black eyes on the boy's deep brown and smiled at him, a true friendly smile.

Kaname: "My name, is Kaname Yoru, and I would love to accompany you Thank you for asking."
