Twilight Whispers ((Leon))

[Artemis]

((OOC: Heh... don't that title bring back memories..))

It had only been about a day or two that Artemis had arrived in Cali and she found herself roaming around it's streets. Sky didn't mind her going off by herself even though deep inside he worried sicked about what could happen to her, just like the time when she went off in search of her brother. But lucky for her that day he followed and stopped the act before it happened. One would think that she would be scared of the outside world and truthfully there was a time where she was, but now it was different. Though she was still concerned about what hid around the corners of every shadow, she wasn't scared of it; just cautious of it.

Her smooth, thick mid-back dark blue hair flared freely in the wind, from her pony tail, as her bangs moved with the breeze as well. It just so happened to be oddly cool this night, as the moon shinned bright in all it's glory with a few stars here and there. Her hazel gold tinted eyes; which could also be describe as a honey color; stared up at the full moon as it twinkled in her eyes. Nights like these seemed to calm and sooth her.

So beautiful the night is tonight.... So relaxing the moon can be...

She smiled just a bit and proceed to walk, allowing her feet to take her wherever they wished to. Her white button down long sleeve shirt was open, revealing a black tank top underneath, as black jeans hugged lightly onto her lower body. Her hands found refuge within her pants pockets as she found herself strolling along the boardwalk of a beach. She stopped and faced the wide open ocean and smooth sand, and stared out into the open sea. She closed her eyes as a cool ocean breeze caressed her face and flowed through her soul.

Smiling she removed her black sneakers and socks and carried them in her right hand, as she decided to take a stroll on the beach. The smooth sand squished underneath her feet and between her toes as the Greek and Japanese beauty strolled along. Artemis finally decided to take a seat and relax on the beach. She sat down on the soft baige color sand, now tinted blueish just a bit due to the night sky and moon; her knees bent to her chest and her arms folded over them. She dig her toes in the sand and spoke softly to herself.

"The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket..."

Indeed it did, if the light hit it just right. She leaned back a bit, leaning against the wind pretending that she was weightless and in this moment she was happy. A smile cruled across her face as her eyes were closed and the wind once again caressed her. Leaning back up into her original position, she stared out into the dark blue sea seemingly in thought. Truthfully, this young beauty always appeared to be in thought no matter where she was. But not all the time was she. Her smile was no longer there at the moment, just a straight stare out into the ocean. ((Look at avi))

I bet you guys would of love this view... right mother and father.. Heh, I bet you guys are looking at this same thing from where you are... I only wish I was sure about Axel...

[Mr. Kaar]

A clear night. A gleaming twilight. The sound of the breeze, the quiet, it was all toomuch, a young blonde haired boy had to get away from the quiet of his apartment. He locked up his apartment and made his way to the beach. Yeah it was a bit of a walk, but that really didn't matter to him. He was sure this night would proove to be worth something, even though he was unsure of this urge to go to the beach all of a sudden. But he didn't mind, he hadn't been to the beach in a long time, and without the threat of little viruses in the water, he could swim.

The youn gman himself looked to be about 15, or 16, he wasn't very tall about 5'10". He looked lean and well built for his size. He also appeared to be built for speed. He is wearing a blue long sleeve button up shirt, thats tucked under a pair of slightly baggy black cargo pants. His hair is spiked, short, and seems to be almost golden. His eyes, where a deeply, dark blue. He wore shoes, normel black and white shoes. He held his arms behind his back as he walked. He had one last thing on. It was a necklace with a pendant on it. The pendent was of a Dragon witht eh wings fully spread. The rest of it was more serpent like, no legs.

Once at the beach he had got to the board walk just looking out at the water, seeing the moon. He decided it was about time to take a walk. He just began to walk along the beech, getting to about where the wake of the waves reach up the beach. Along his travels he happened apon a young girl. His head once again fell to one side as his eye brow twitched, she looked about his age. He walked over not too quickly and not to slowly, he didn't want her to think he was trying to attack her. He made sure he walked right up to her in front of her so she knew he was there, not like he wanted to surprise her either, its not all that nice at night. Esspecielly if you don't know the person.

Once he reached her his head fell to the side again and he spoke as he bent both his knees to bend down. He would look at her curiosly for that moment he bent down.

"Hello."

((OOC: Odd thing is, this is how I actuelly meet people.))

[Artemis]

The young beauty stared there comfortably not caring if the sand dirtyed her black pants in the slightest, she could always wash them, it was no big deal. Besides Artemis was that type of girl that enjoyed nature in all it's glory and respected it's beauty very much. The naturalness of the world is what gives it its beauty, so that is what she believes.

We live on such a beautiful planet... yet we abuse it everyday. It's a shame how we treat what we are given and take it for granted...

Yes this was just some of the things that were going through Artemis's mind. This was the norm for her, random thoughts about any and everything in the world from the people, to certain affairs; it didn't matter. If it caught her attention in any way she would ponder about it and make her own assumptions, her own judgements, her own thoughts and ideas on it; not what everyone else says it is. But once again her mind wandered back to her missing step brother. It never failed everytime she would try to think about something else, sooner or later it would go back to Axel. She was angered at him and worried about him at the same time. She wasn't even sure exactly what she would do if he was still alive and she saw him again.

This will never go away unless I know for sure... Must it have truly turned out this way Axel?...

She sighed to herself as she rested her chin upon her folded arms which were ontop on her knees. Her eyes were closed as she just excepted the cool breeze that came from the ocean. Even the scent on the ocean tingled her sense of smell as she took in her surroundings. As she sat there quietly, calmly realxing she felt someone nearing her. She just calmly kept her position and her eyes closed awaiting the person to draw closer. Judging by the fact that the wind seemed to be block though still hitting her a bit she knew whomever it was was in front of her. A simply friendly 'hello' is what she heard as she slowly opened her eyes, revealing her capitvating honey colored orbs. She stared at the golden haired boy whom had greeted her and seemed to be staring back, but looking at her a bit curiously. Artemis parted her lips and spoke softly back to the boy who greeted her.

"Hello back."

She paused for a moment as she looked at him wondering why he stared at her like that. So she would politly ask him the reason for his stare.

"I don't mean to be rude or anything... but why is it that you are staring at me curiously?"

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon had to think for a moment. He was not very sure why eh was so curiouse at the moment, usuelly he would of ignored a person, or killed them, depending on his mood, but it was just something about this person that calmed him. He lifted his head to the upright position and decided he figured it out. Of course he was not certain, he figured it was the best he could coem up with, because it was the only thing he could think he was wondering about. But he would not directly explain why he was staring, instead he would ask a question. Kinda like avoiding it, but in his own way he was answering the question.

"Whats your name?"

As he said this Leons eyes seemed to narrow in question. Not like he was angry, but in actuel curiousity. He would then lose his balance and fall on his butt backwards. He would correct himself and fold his legs so he was sitting indian style. He would sit up and fold his hands in his lap and sit looking at her eyes, like glue. His dark blue eyes would seem darker and maybe even black, because it was night, and since he was facing her, the moonlight didn't hit his eyes. But it sure did hit hers. He was pretty much glued to her eyes. But his mind was almost completewly else where.

What was he thinking about? His past. Was this the real him? Or was he still that blood thirsty murderer he remembers. Which one is him? Could he really be a nice guy, or is this just a show his mind is playing for some reason? Could he really escape this hell? He had tried so much, but he had still been held back. He pleaded to be released, asked god if it was all just a nightmare, could he really had been that animel and be so innocent right now? Of course, there was still rag ekept inside of him, under control through emotion. One day he hoped would never come is when that Animel came out. When the Lion sprang loose and began to kill again.

'I hope you never have to see the darkest side of me.'

[Artemis]

Seemingly enough a simply question, that could have a simple answer. But then again for some the question and answer could even seem complicated in some ways. If the stare was because one was interested in the other, then it might seem difficult for the one staring to express that emotion clearly. The expression on her face had remained the same; that simply straight look,((Look at avi)), as he in some ways avoided her question with a question of his own. Yet thinking about it again it answered her question didn't it? Well in a way it did.

Her honey colored orbs remained on him as the moonlight created a twinkle within her eyes. From the position that he was once in it was apparent that if he wasn't careful he just might fall. And sure enough the golden haired boy lost his balance and fell backwards, but quickly sat up so he was sitting indian style. Artemis couldn't help herself but to crack a smile and chuckle just a bit.

Heh.. I found myself quite curious about him now.. irony is a funny thing..

She adjusted her legs switching them from their current position to the indian style position in which he was in. She adjusted her body as well sitting more straight up, good posture works wonders for your back; and placed her hands upon her knees. A cool breeze came from the ocean and blew her pony tail and bangs, as it also blew her open white shirt back a bit, letting the ends flap freely in the wind; while created a wave within in black tank top. She had closed her eyes for a moment to take it in before reopening them and looking back at him with that straight stare as before. Once again she parted her lips, speaking calmly, softly and politely as usual.

"Is that all you want to know?.... I suppose it is only polite to answer your question.. since of course you were not rude about it... My name is Artemis.... Artemis Aomori-Cross... And you would be?"

Artemis always believed that if one was polite and respectful to you, than there is no reason for you not to return that favor. But now she seemed to be quite curious about this one, whom at first as curious about her so it looked. Funny how the tables have turned.

[Mr. Kaar]

As it would appear she was one to keep a cool exterior, and mask, if you will towards others and keep ones mind from being read through the faciel expressions. With hearing her name and nodding when she asked if that was all he wanted to know, she had said he name was Artemis. A pleasent name he figured as much, not knowing what it meant. So he would return the favor and tell her his name.

"Well my name is Leon Sudeki. Its a pleasure to meet you, Artemis."

Leon had asmile on his face, very friendly as it where. He was not trying to make her feel threatened, or anythign still, since they had only just met. Leons hand went to the necklace around his neck and out of habit he began to rub it. And about then an idea fell into the boys mind. He looked at her once again, but this time he was abit more friendly about it instead of strange. Since beign friendly wasd what needed to be worked on if he where to be friends with someone.

"Então, what brings you out here, at night?"

Leon was just curiouse as any other person, but he figured asking, without answering this particuler question could be alittle rude, so he did speak before she got a chance to answer, so he did not seem rude.

"I came here for some R&R and the beach aty night just sounded like a really good idea."

[Artemis]

Leon Sudeki... a strong name... He seems like someone I would have to remember...

Artemis's honey colored orbs remained on Leon as she spotted the smile that appeared across his face. Truly she showed her emotions when necessary, when there was an emotion to show. But other than that her face always remained with that seldom look upon it, truly it seemed a bit emotionless but then again look a bit closely it wasn't as emotionless as it would appear. As another breeze came flaring her open button down shirt and her hair, she closed her eyes taking the cool sea breeze in once more.

In this moment, she flet calm, relaxed, at ease and just happy; as happy as possible. His question and reasoning for being here rang through her ears, causing her to open her eyes; those orbs staring at him once more. But before she would respond to him or even have a reaction of sorts to his answer like a simply nod or something, her eyes would fall upon the necklace around his neck that he seemed to be holding. Though yes it was a bit dark out, the moonlight provided enough light to make out what it was, let alone the fact that he wasn't too far from her in ways.

That necklace.... it's the same as the one... Axel gave me

As her eyes would remain on his necklace for a moment, her right hand would slowly creep up to her neck. Once here hand reached her neck it felt that it was bare. Tonight she was not wearing that necklace that she had worn everyday since he had given it to her. It was odd that she had actually forgotten about it tonight, which made her feel a bit bad about it but still showed no emotion to that. Her right hand slowly lowered back down and rested back upon her right knee as she raised her eyes to look at him, parting her lips speaking in the same tone as before.

"Truthfully... I was just walking around and my legs led me here.. I really had no real destination... I just wanted to get away for awhile...."

She had spoke as if she hadn't spaced out a bit, as if that little big silence was nothing. To her the silence was just a small period where she thought back to her step brother, and the fact that she wasn't wearing the chain he gave her. It was nothing more than that. She had took a walk to try and clear her mind of all of that, just for awhile at least.
