A Night encounter (Tenshineko)

Draylon was walking out on the hills near the edge of the academy grounds, near the forest. He paused halfway up the hill to look up at the stars sparkling above. Filling his lungs with another breath of cold air, he continued the hike up the hill. Once at the top he stopped and looked around surveying the landscape. As he looked out over the rolling hills in the darkness, illuminated only by the moon and the stars, a large gust of wind came along, shaking the trees and moving the grass. Draylon let a smile creep onto his face, this was the most peace he has had in over a week. Nothing out here but me, the stars in the sky, the trees, the grass and mother nature in all her glory.

Draylon sat down then laid down on his back looking up at the glittering stars. Taking another deep breath, he closed his eyes, listening to the sounds of the forest, the crickets chirping and the wind blowing across the trees. I really need to do this more often, It's almost as if nature itself is flushing all the stress out of my body. Draylon slowly opened his eyes, sat up and unfastened his sword from his waist, setting it next to him, then laid back down. Ahhh, that's so much more comfortable, I could really get used to this. Draylon continued to stare up at the stars, while listening to the sounds of the night.

What a beautiful night. Ren thought peacfuly. Walking out of the forest listening to the hoots of an owl and the chirping chrekets. Puasing for a monment looking up at the moon she saw that it looked like the moon was smileing. she laughed to her self. It was a silly thought. She shook her head and continued to walk.

"The stars sure are bright tonight." she said to her self. Feeling the cool wind blow through her fur felt so nice. Her eyes seemed to cast a mystirious glow in the moonlight. This site was different from the forest. It almost looked like a savanah with there being no trees.

"Wow. T-this is amazing. To think I have not been here yet." Ren stated in awe.

As he was listening to the sounds of the night, he heard a voice nearby, coming from the left. He rolled over onto his side, lazily looking into the darkness, Listening for any further sounds coming from the forest side. Ugh, i wish it was brighter, I can't really see anything. A dark figure started to appear in his vision. "Who's there?"

I can't really see who it is but it looks short... How unusual. Who could possibly be out here at a time like this? Dray stared into the darkness at the figure approaching him.

Looking to her right Ren noticed a human on the ground. Who's that? she woundered. She walked closer to the human that was wareing a black robe; relizing too late that he was a Shinigami. How could I be so careless?! Ren scolded herself.

Well there was no use in turning back now he already saw her. Walking closer to the Shinigami with caution She made her self known. [/"I will awnser you question only if you promas not to harm me in any way." Ren wanted to ensure her safty before comeing from the shadows.

How odd, ah well I didn't come out here for a fight anyways. I might as well promise. I wonder what kind of person it is, that created that soft, yet scared voice? Draylon said to the figure, "I Promise not to hurt you as long as you do the same." Draylon then sat up waited to see what kind of person it was, squinting into the darkness, the sounds of the night filling his ears. He managed to pick up the sound of the wind blowing through the plains, and the rustling of the trees, and the soft stepping of feet on the grass.

Takeing a deep breath Ren took a step into the moonlight. Her left paw slowly came from the shadows. "Ok. Here we go." Ren said to herself. Sure enough she was standing in the moonlite sky. Her white fur seemed to shine like silver. The unusual eyes that were a blue-yellow glowed like the Irish sea.

"So still plane to keep your promise? Ren asked him in a hard voice. She was anxious to hear the Shinigami's reply. She sat down on the cool grass her fur blowing in the breeze.

Draylon watched as the Tiger he had seen before walked out of the darkness shyly and said, "So still plan to keep your promise?" Draylon merely said, "Oh, you're that friendly hollow I met a while back, and yes I'm still going to keep my promise, so long as you do the same."

Draylon laid back down on the grass, shifted his zanpakuto to the other side of his body, looking up at the moon and the stars, and said "So what brings you out here?" Right as he said that a strong cold wind blew across the tree's shaking the branches and flattening the grass.

Ren flinched as the strong wind picked up. Ohh. That was creepy. she thought. "I am here for no reason. Just out for a late night srtoll. Your name is Dray right?" she said. Laying on her back Ren watched the stars. As soon as she looked up a shooting star zipped across the dark sky. "A shooting star! Quick make a wish!" Ren exclaimed.

Ren closed her eyes tight as she made her wish.I want to become stronger. She thought desperatly. Opening her eyes slowly she saw a small group of stars that looked like a dragon. Someday she will get stronger. Ren looked at Dray with a quetioning look on her face. I have an idea. she thought with joy.

Draylon yawned as he as looking up at the stars, and closed his eyes. This is weird, I'm lying down next to a hollow while looking at the stars, I'm sure my instructors back at the academy would be ashamed of me. Draylon let out a sigh, from the right he heard the hollow say, "I am here for no reason. Just out for a late night srtoll. Your name is Dray right?" Draylon glanced over at the hollow and said, "Yeah, my name is Dray."

She looked up at the sky and said, "A shooting star! Quick make a wish!" Make a wish, eh? hmm alright I wish my zanpakuto would be more open with me and start talking to me. At that moment, a buzzing sound rang in Draylon's ears, followed by and indiscernible whispering voice, Then as soon as it had come it was gone. Was that... oh well. Draylon took one last look at the moon and closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the cold air, then yawned.

"You want to get stronger right?" Ren asked Dray. If we can help each other than we both get stronger. Getting up Ren looked down at Dray with her eyes glowing blue. When they stoped glowing her eyes had more blue than yellow in them.

Ooc: Sorry it's short.

"I suppose I do want to get stronger... Why do you ask?" Draylon looked over at Tenshineko at reached out and grabbed his sheathed sword with his left hand. Is she going to offer to spar or something? I really don't want to, I came out here to relax not fight. I hope she understands, at least if she is thinking what I think she is thinking. "Please don't tell me you want to spar or something, I came out here to relax for my stress not add onto it." Draylon took a deep breath and relaxed his body.

Ren folded her ears back in disapointment. Ok. Maybe some other time then?" she asked pirking up her ears. He must be stressed out he must of thought I was going to attack him from the way he grabbed his Zanpaku-to. Looking back at Dray she asked, Do you want to meet here tomorrow? When everyone else is asleep maybe then we could train.

Her eyes were shining with hope she so despperatly wanted to become stronger.

Dray listened as the hollow said, "Do you want to meet here tomorrow? When everyone else is asleep maybe then we could train." Wow, she really wants to train to become stronger...

"Maybe the day after tomorrow, I don't fancy fighting after a days work with not a good solid amount of sleep." I really need to start getting more rest, especially if I'm going to be sparring at night as well. Dray closed his eyes, still holding his zanpakuto in one hand he said, "Does that sound alright to you?"

Ren's eyes glowed with happyness. "Sure. We all need our rest. And thank you." Ren bowed her head in gratitued. She began to walk of when she caught the sent of a hollow in the distance.

Running after the sent she saw a child running for their life. Ren jumped over the child got a hold of the hollow and bit on its throat. Blood had spewed everywhere. Hungeraly she began to eat the hollow.

Draylon watched as the hollow ran off into the forest, "See you in a few days!" This will be interesting. Dray looked at the moon and the stars for a little bit, and decided to head back to the dorm. After all i am going to have a full day's work ahead of me. Sigh. I came out here to relax and ended up promising to help someone train, and a hollow at that.... oh well, I better get back. Draylon went back to his room in the dorms and went to sleep.
