Summer Sunset

[K]

Ahh… What a beautiful evening it was. The temperature was just right, a little warm, but not horribly humid, and only the occasional gentle breeze brushed against Wakana’s soft skin. Her soft footsteps sank a bit into the beach sand as her golden-brown eyes glanced out at the blazing sunset in the western horizon from behind her dark pair of shades. Other than the soft swish-swish of the waves, the area seemed to be moderately quiet… and also a good place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. …Well, that is, as long as she kept her eyes on the ocean.

The actual beaches… well… To put it gently, they probably would not end up on the top of very many beachgoers’ lists. They were actually rather filthy, to tell the honest truth, with trash and litter mixed in with all of the sand. However, this little fact did not seem to really bother Wakana all that much. Whatever was available to her, she went along with. And besides, she did not feel like going all that way to any of the other beaches that were only a couple of miles away. Although she did have to watch her step every once-in-a-while, she was still content with watching the sunset as its crimson streaks reflected off of the Pacific waters.

Finally finding a place generally clean of garbage, Wakana spread out the sky-blue towel that was rolled up underneath her arm and sat down on it, stretching out her long legs in front of her. She was wearing a knee-length red skirt and white tank-top, which had a nice, comfortably low neckline, along with a pair of brown leather sandals. Strangely enough, she seemed to had abandoned her black leather trench coat… Although she usually liked to keep up appearances, now wasn’t about what she wore. Now was about listening to the gentle waves, feeling the cool breeze flow through her loose, long, silky violet-dyed hair. A soft, relaxed smile lifted at the young woman’s ruby lips and let out a sigh, moving her sunglasses up to the top of her head, to get a more pleasant view of the sunset.

Ah… This is the life! Just need a handsome man right next to me and this’d be the perfect romance scene. Haha…

Of course, it wasn’t as if Wakana expected some guy to appear out of nowhere! Why, that would just be plain ridiculous. And it wasn’t as if she was really very lonely, either. No, it was just a stray thought that had passed her odd little mind. She found the fact that she was alone a little lonely, but at the same time… it was refreshing. No, there weren’t any worries within the violet-haired woman’s mind, none at all.

[akada]

It was not a guy that was produced out of thin air, but instead a red car, its engine screaming loudly as other cars trailed right behind it. The red in the front was a Dodge Viper SRT-10 suped up to be able to smoke even a drag racer, the problem was, that was a little too much power for sand venturing, and due to that, as he neared a turn up ahead he ended up skidding first, and trying to get out of it a donut ensued leaving him almost flipping it over on its side but managing to level it back on all four wheels. All of the other cars flew past kicking up a bit of sand and other debris on their way, but the worst of it was his own issues having been forced out of the race thanks to a little screw up, he would have to let the engine cool down before he could even drive out of there.

"Damn it.."

He was out a thousand dollars now.. oh well. Things would pan out eventually, and since he had rebuilt his families company, it wasnt as if he was short on cash. A slight sight came from his lips as he turned the engine off and pulled the keys from the ignition, slipping them down into his pocket before taking his belt off and getting out of the car. Locking it he shut it back and kicked a rogue bottle as he straightened himself out, looking up towards the sky and just closing his eyes to relax for a moment, trying to think over what had happened.. maybe it was time to stop trying to take on all terrain races with this sort of vehicle.. that or he would have to find a custom set of tires to go with the car.

"Well.. this is fucked.."

A hand came upwards running through blond locks of hair, allowing it to settle afterwards. It wasnt as if he was going to be missing anything.. so he just rose up from a lean to the car and headed off up the beach, he had noticed what looked like a person in the distance anyways, maybe he could talk with him or her and have something to do for a bit.

[K]

Even with the distant sound of engines in the distance, Wakana did not seem to hear them, as her attention was almost completely focused upon the beautiful sunset. Now, one may find this a little odd, seeing as any ordinary woman might have at least noticed the slightly out-of-place noise. After all, it was not as if there were car races on the beach every day, now! One must keep in mind, though… Wakana is no ordinary woman! She just kept on looking out at the horizon, that lazy smile upon her scarlet lips, humming a little tune softly to herself. As far as she knew, it was still just herself and the sunset… That is, until the sun finally seemed to disappear beneath the waves.

Aw… I arrived a little late, didn’t I? Ah, well… Maybe next time, then.

Her mild bit of disappointment faded away rather quickly. Sure, she did not see much of the sunset, but hey, it was still a nice evening, and as long as she had her blanket out, she intended to damn well enjoy herself.

This is when she finally noticed something a little out-of-place. Wakana blinked a little bit as her attention suddenly snapped to the distant sound of… a car door shutting? But why in the world would anyone drive a car on the beach…? Surely enough, though, as she turned her head around, she saw a tall man standing by what appeared to be a red sports car. She slipped her black sunglasses back down onto the bridge of her nose and stood up, looking over at the man as he began to head on down the beach. For a moment, she glanced back over at the car, a bit of an amused smile spreading across her face. That was a rather interesting place to park such a fancy car, she had to say. Ah, well! She supposed that she could at least talk with him a little bit, being a rather social creature at heart. She began to casually make her way towards him, when suddenly… She recognized him from somewhere. Where, though…? As she got close enough to see him a little better, though, the smile on her face grew a little bigger. She knew that she had seen him somewhere!

“Hiroko, right? One of the new teachers at 259?”

[akada]

Driving a car on the beach.. the precise question he was asking himself actually. It was more so the fact that he had been hunting for a little fun, and ended up out here. Not a good place, but meh. He would live. As he neared this person, he noticed that it was infact a she, and also that she worked up at 259, having introduced herself the same day as he had.. though.. more.. peaceful to say the least. With her greeting he just offered a slight smile and nodded back, offering his hand out in a polite gesture as it was his policy to treat others how you wished to be treated.. save for the select few pricks that just did not get it when he was telling them to leave him alone nicely. The tone of voice held through his vocal chords was anything but rough. Despite his exterior, he held a softer, almost soothing melody to the sounds he made form from a simple movement of tongue and lips.


"Yes, and correct me if I am wrong but Wakana?.. mm.. excuse me. Ms. Kuramoto?"

With that he would have simply waited on her to allow her hand to raise, and it would have been shifted towards her own, enwrapping gently, and bringing his other back behind him as he bent down slightly to give a light kiss to the top of her own, pulling back only after he had accomplished what he had meant to. Properly greet himself. Standing back upright once more, he allowed his hands to rest at his sides at ease. Slight smile on his face as he did so, though despite the fact his car would have to be cleaned out all over now.. he wasnt worried none the least. Meant he had something to do this weekend.
