The stars looked pretty tonight. Well, it always did, but the sky seemed to be showered with the stars for tonight. Of course, it's nearly tanabata (when the milky way shows) afterall. The wind picked up, brushing the dead leaves or whatever was on the ground at the time. The high ferns combed the air, as I paced forward to a playground. The freedom of being able to move freely with my limbs working to full potential. It felt great.
The air felt a bit moist, as it goes further in summer, the more the waters would percipitate from the sky as if it was crying. I've always thought it was funny how Japan has its rainy season in summer. We've always had ours in winter. But then again, it's just the wonders of the earth.
I trusted my limbs into carrying myself up to the top of what we call: the spider web. It's like a dome; half a sphere. Quite a demented sphere, if I had to add. If you look down at it from a bird's view, it'd be like an octagon, all eight sides had bars running o each other, taking the shape of a spider's web, whilst the base, which was on the top, held a board. I've always wanted to go here ever since I've entered the academy. Unfortunately I couldn't really do anything the first few days I was here.
Finally, I'd made it to the top where the board held me up towards the sky. It was the exact feeling I wanted. Since the skies are pitch black now, with little crystals hung in display. I'd thought of the kids whom always wished they could pick a star out from the sky and bring it home with them. I chuckled at that thought, I knew I was like that when I was young too, before those dreams were crushed by my sudden obsession of science.
Though I wouldn't really say the skies are perfectly clear, since the clouds started moving in. I manouevered my position to stare at the moon now. But I did not find any spherical, chalky white orb which hung in the sky, even in the day. Then remembered that it was the day of new moon. My shoulders slouched as my hopes of seeing the full elements of the sky crumbled. Well, I supposed the stars were enough.
The moment of peace were soon disturbed by the brush up of ferns against something. I didn't really pay attention to it much since I thought it was the wind again. Until it got louder. I tensed my shoulders, as I looked around the place. Squeezing the sight through gaps between the swings or slides. I felt stupid doing this, but I guess I was just... cautious?

Night. Night is when the earths orbit moves around the sun and shines on another side of the planet. The side that is shine upon by the sun is call day. While the outer side is called night. That is how night time was explained to Cloud. He sighs as he pulls his jacket over his sholders and walks outside of the boy dorms. Normaly kids his age shouldn't be out at night. Even if they had powers that allowed them to fend for them selfs quiet easily. The little scientist walks down a lit path wearing his normal apparence of small jeans and a white hoody that was rather big on the small boy. His fox ears were hidden under a backwards baseball cap and his tail was hanging freely behind him. He fixes his glasses as he countines down a path and he looks around.
Even though night was just his half of the world facing away from the sun. It had a beauty to it. It was dark and mysterious yet it had a gentle nature that had a majestic beauty to it. He smiles as he walks though a field slowy while fireflys fly around him. His shadowy apparece was now shown by the light of the little bugs. He then stops as he stands in the middle of a field and he looks around. He then sighs to him self. Even though he was really smart he was directionly challanged. He grumbles about how in the future he is going to need to make a compuss for him self so he could find his way around the school. That or atleast get a gps. He looks around and closes his eyes and he hears the sound of wind blowing though chains of swings.
He then goes towards that way in hope of getting some kind of barring. He slowy walks though the ferns and his fox tail flowing in the wind and he reaches what seem to be some sort of playground. He looks around his fox eyes glowing with the light of the stars. It makes him look like a heartless from Kingdom hearts. And he walks up to the slide and he jumps up on top of the slide and he looks around. And he says to him self
"Great. Im lost once more..." And he sighs and looks up at the sky "At least its a nice night to get lost...heh"

It was cool, even though it had just began: Summer. It's a no wonder the fireflies roam freely, litting the paths with the light it emmits. How I wished I could produce my own light so I wouldn't be so scared at a very dark place. Not that I really liked bright places, dim was a preferance.
I losened my tensed shoulders, as I slowly turned away from where I was looking. Maybe it was just my brain making up its very own horror story. I get scared easily. It took me quite a while to fight with myself to tell me, that nothing was wrong. But the other side of me said there was, and it started up one of those fights between yourselves again.
I get that a lot, I don't even know why. I was sure I was crazy, until I found out a lot of people does that too. At least, if they didn't lie to me, and only said those things to make me feel better, which if I found out it was a lie, I wouldn't be very happy with them. Then I'd go back to thinking I was crazy again.
I'd let out a sigh, before nodding off, and the part of me which said nothing was wrong, won. Until the whisper, which probably isn't even a whisper, rang in my ears. My head made a sudden turn, flipping my hair back by it's motion. Then it fell on my shoulders and stumbled off it, one side covering my neck as if it was a scarf. That was just one of the wonders of having long hair, although it is annoying.
Climbing off the dome, I was careful to not make a single sound. Though I was only human. I'd made a few clanks here and there as I stepped on the metal bars, helping me get down. I walked through the ferns again, seemingly kicking the fireflies out of the blades and out into the open air.
It's a... boy. A normal one, if I had to say. A hit of sarcasm there. No one up until now, the ones I've met anwyay-- had ever had a tail. Or was I wrong? That is a tail... right? I cocked my eyebrow, confused. Placing both of my hands one of the paint coated metal poles which held the slides to place.

As Cloud stood there looking upon the stars of the night which was slowy being covered by the clouds. He thinks about how this school was rather nice even though it caused alot of problems. Everything from people dissperring to his best friend dying. Cloud puts his hands into his pocket and he feels the bracelet that the school gave him to keep his alice in check. And he sighs remembering the days when it was just him and Rage running around the school acting like idoits. He then closes his eyes and thinks for a bit as he stands there.
His fox ears twitches under his hat when he hears the sound of human flesh touching metal. He looks down and stills a shilote of a girl and he fixes his glasses as his tail flows in the wind. He jumps off the slide and lands next to her his hands out of his pockets. His guard up and ready to attack, but once he got close he looks at her and he steps back and looks at her. His fox ears were now visible because his hat fell off as he jumped down. He looks at the girl and he turns around and picks up his hat and puts it back on his head and he says
"Can I help you?"
Cloud has become rather cold towards people lately. All because the people he knew were all gone. Not wanting to be hurt by people comming and going out of his life. He put up a wall so that way he can't be hurt. Just like what Hiei did when he frist met him.

Slightly intimidated, I stepped back as a reaction. Odd. I've never seen one with animal... tail and ears before. Although I realy shouldn't be surprised. This is an odd academy afterall. Not to mention, I am odd for being here too.
"Umm.. Nothing" I'd answered his question, slightly mumbling.
I really should change that aspect of myself. Not mumbling and muttering. Try speaking clearly for once.
Cold. I'd thought. He was cold. It triggered my memory to remember someone alike. The only part different was that the other one wasn't cold, he was just a plain jerk.
Is he trying to cover his ears? I'd wonder.
Though that didn't really do much help, did it? His tail was sticking out.
I shrugged, sliding my hands down from the pole and back to my sides.

Cloud looked at the girl and he sighs a bit knowing that even though he acted cold. It wasnt who he was. He raises his hand and fixes his glasses by pushing it up the bride of his nose. And he says as he smiles a bit hoping to change the mood
"I'm sorry...I've been attacked by some physco clown in the past. "
Cloud looks at her and he blinks seeing its another frist year student. He sighs a bit wondering where in gods name are all the seconds and third year students at. He notices she was looking at his tail and he turns around hiding his tail. And he moves it up his jacket hiding it. "Um....Its just a costume..."
That was a lie but then again he couldn't really think of a way to have her not talk about his apparence. Even though Cloud loved being part fox. Recently he has been rather annoyed at kids pointing and making fun of his apparence. When kids had there alice it was alright but now everyone had a normal life with the restrictors he became a target. The world of being a kid was rather curl if you let it be.
"So what brings you here?" Cloud says in a rather friend tone trying to forget the fact taht he is lost.

There are-- There are phsyco clowns in here?! I'd thought abruptly, slightly bulging my eyes out... a bit. Though I couldn't really see how wide they are now, but I knew how to control it. I blinked once, and it relieved the strains on the sockets.
Again, I shouldn't be at all that surprised. Considering that I'm in this school, which means everyone just become a phsyco immediately. Like how I am, and he is too. Not to mention the others who are here. Though we might still think we're sane inside. I've come to the realisation of us being weirdo's by being in the school though. Secluding ourselves from the world. The world doesn't even listen-- yep, all good.
I only scanned him over and over again, curious-- slightly.
Curiosity isn't good though, I tried to shrug it off, trusting him with whatever he'd told me. And if that tail was a costume, then it's a costume. He probably knows better than I do about costumes anyway, so I should just... keep my mouth shut and mind my own bussiness.
I'd shrugged as he asked me the question. Whether to answer or not, that was my choice, but it was better than keeping quiet. Even though I am a pretty quiet person.
"Umm... Star gazing." I'd muttered. I felt old after saying that. Old fashioned-- that is. No one-- that I know of, ever does star gazing nowadays.

He blinks as the girl before him said Star Gazing. He laughs a bit to him self. It has been a long time sence someone actully said there answer with turth behind it. He fixes his glasses and looks up at the night sky and watches the Milky way. And he says
"It must be nice being like a star...." Cloud countines looking up at the sky as he starts to talk in a rather nomal tone. One that sounded innocent and a bit sad. "To be high in the sky not worrying about a thing in the world. Just up there watching and waiting as time slowy passes by. Until the day there bright shine is no more...But before that they will appaear with great majecsitc beauty to those who are on the ground.."
He looks at the girl and smiles as he looks back up at the sky and says. "Did you know that every single star is a persons guardian watching down on them....Or thats why my mommy says..She told me that they shine brighter the more good you do..." He sighs a bit and his tail slowy comes up and starts wagging on its own. Showing that right now Cloud was having a happy memeory

He'd laughed. I knew he'd laugh. I regretted saying the truth, I'm so old fashioned-- and a lot of people thought so too. Even though I'm still young. Which is pretty sad, if I think about it. Then again, I might've only been thinking too much.
As soon as he looked up to the stars, I couldn't help but to look up as well. Even without the moon-- the million suns that the night sky had, could lit up the dark colored earth. Or at least, it's dark in one side, and I just happen to be in the dark side. That didn't come out right, but that didn't matter. Because I knew what it meant.
I switched my view back to the boy as he gave off a speech. How lovely is it to be a young gullible child? I'd learnt too much that everything that matters was only the time, money and friendship I have. Oh, and the future, but I have no future, so there's really no point in me thinking about the future. I was envious of him-- slightly.
My tensed shoulders relaxed as he gave off another gullible speech. How sad... Astronomy had destroyed those kind of sayings for me. I was told that for every twenty four hours, as the earth revolves and makes its way to orbit around the sun with the moon spinning and orbiting around it itself-- well, let's cut all of that facts and get straight to the point: you can only see the same star for every fourty years. One night, you see a star, in fourty years, you'll see the same star. But, you will not see that same star in between the time frame.
So, frankly speaking, I didn't believe the whole stars being guardians story. I was a bit jealous of those who still believed it though. They make songs and poems out of stars. Something like 'cast a wish upon a star' or something. And those little children who believed it-- casting their wishes upon a star. Even though I was tempted to destroy that dream of them, I still had a good heart. So I didn't.
"I see..." I'd said, trying to sound interested, but it came off the track of sounding interested. It sounded as if that whole statement was boring and pointless. At least, to my ears it sounded as if it was lame. I hated myself for even saying that.
Soon, my eyes trailed off to scan the boy again, and much to my surprise, his tail... It's moving. Or even better-- if it could be called 'even better'-- it's wagging. I couldn't help but to shoot one of my eyebrows upwards again, cocking it. I blinked twice to make sure I'm awake, then tried to shrug it off. But I couldn't!
"Is that..." I'd started, "Is that... really a costume? It... wags?"

Cloud blinks and he sighs as he looks down. He removes his hat and you could see his fox ears were now down. Giving the aleady sad expression even more apparece. He looks at her as his tail stops wagging and he says. " I can tell your new. You know before this bracelet was put on everyone. There was no such thing as resticoters....well there was but that was for the bad kids. I have the alice to change things around me. And I did some stuff and now Im part fox.."
Cloud knew that being a fox was alright. But when everyone was a normal and he stuck out like a sore thumb. If it was the old academy everything would be alright.
"Anyway who are you? " Cloud blinked as his iris focases in on the girl. He knew that she was new. He looks her up and down and thinks about how she has a cute face. But he got a feeling that she would be rather troublesome in the future. So he keeps a mental note of finding out her alice.

My eyes fell as he told his story. An autobiography, and autobiographies aren't very happy most of the time. This one was no different. He had made a mistake with his own alice.
Heck, if I made one silly mistake, the whole world would be a living hell-- if that didn't already exist.
"Oh... Sorry..." I'd mumbled, hopefully clear enough for him to hear at least.
I inched closer, growing to think he wasn't so intimidating afterall. Besides, his fox ears and tail was a charm point-- sort of. Well, at least, to me, it was. Ever since I was little, I've always loved animals.
There was silence for a few minuets. I wanted to talk, but I couldn't bring up any subjects. Soon, he talked instead.
".... Rei..." I'd introduced myself.
Looking at his human face, it seemed so surreal that he had fo ears. I tried imagining him without the ears and tails. But I really couldn't see that, I was already used to seeing him with them.
I blinked twice before I switched off the scanning eyes of mine, trying not to be distracted by his ears and tail. It was hard, but I soon adjusted to it.
And to be frankly honest, I did know about the academy beforehan. Wenham told me. He told me everything I need and want to know. About Alice Academy was just one of them. Seems like everything changed now, huh?

He looks at her and fixes his glasses. He smiles and notices she is a few inches taller then him. But then again its a normal thing for cloud. He has always been shorter then everyone. So he was use to it by now. He looks at her and smiles as he says in a kind and gentle voice. "Nice to meet you Rei. Im Cloud. Tetsuya Cloud. " He then looks back up at the sky. And he takes off his glasses and puts them in his pocket. And he asks a question that he always asks new students. "Do you miss your home?"
He looks back at her with his crimson red and navy blue eyes. He knew what the answer was most likely going to be. But he had to know. Why do people come to this school, he remembers reading stories about Alice users who didnt go to the Academy. And they controlled there powers. "And whats your alice?"
It was a normal question. Before he didnt have to ask this question because he had unlimited acces to peoples profiles back in the Student Goverment. But now he had to find out the old ways. He kept a sort of log of everyones alice and what they can do with them. The reason is so that when he needs help for things he could ask them to help him in his procject. He fixes his glasses and looks at her and smiles. Dropping his cold attude from before

I could actually cast a smile now, which was a good thing. Now comfortable around the boy, which I couldn't be able to do before, since I was intimidated by him. I'm easily intimidated, but then again, I'm easily fooled too. Just like now, I was fooled by his first cold words.
Questions sprung like always in first meetings.
Home... I haven't been seeing this 'home' of mine for whatever felt like ages. Sure, I miss it. But I know one thing: it'd be awkward if I go back now. It's just better not to go back, and that's just the way it should be. I guess, it's like when you've graduated out of high school, you'd be expected to live and find money for yourself. Except it's quite altered in my situation.
"I don't know..." I'd said, shrugging. "I haven't been seeing home for a while..."
That was an honest statement. I do wonder how they're doing sometimes, but I soon forget about them and look into the future. I guess, I'm a bad kid, huh?
Instead of looking up to the sky as how he did, I looked to the ground. Especially when I was asked about my alice. I really didn't like talking about it. And I was glad that this restrictor was on me. Real glad, to be frankly honest. I kicked some of the pebles nearby my foot, before explaining to him.
"Umm... well," I'd hesitated, "It's a complicated alice, but... It's--" I cocked my head to the side, still eyeing the ground. "--Scary. Well, at least, to me it's scary... 'cause I can take away lives so easily... Not that I have killed anyone!--" My pace was rapid on the last sentence, quickly looking up to the boy, hopefully looking serious enough so that he would believe me, "--It's just that, I was told... I can kill just by touching a living organism."

Cloud looked at her and he feels kinda bad for her. He raises a hand and goes to pet her head. But he stops as he wonders if this was the right thing to do. He shakes his head and pets her head as he smiles and says "Thats what they tell you. But in turth a person's alice is something they choose to do. Like me, I have the ability to controll Atoms and use them to my will. I could just say f**k it and blow up the world. Or I can use my alice to help. " He moves his hand away and looks at his bracelet. Right about now he woudl use his alice to make something that would help Rei smile. He looks around and sees a flower and he goes over and picks it. He comes back and gives it to her and he says. "Its your alice, you own it. Not the outher way around. Remember that. "
He smiles and fixes his glasses. And he pets her head again and he takes off his hat which was rather big so that it could hide his fox eras. And he puts the large hat ontop of the small girls head.
"You might not know. Your alice might be the power to give life or you might be a future hero or something cool" He laughs and smiles.

I took the flower with my right hand, slightly flushing as he'd do something that far to cheer me up. A smile crawled up to my face, as he patted my head. Though I tried to think of the positives, it just didn't click on to me.
Say for instance, I'd shake hands with someone. And if I don't have this restrictor, which I am very glad I had, attached on me, then that person whom I'd shook hands with would drop dead. Even the flower he's given to me-- that too, would just die in my hands.
I shook my negative thoughts out of my head and played along with his speech, grinning a bit, completely faking my expressions. Not that anyone'd notice.
"Yeah... I guess," I'd said, smiling. "Thanks, Cloud."
He placed his cap on my head. As a subtle immediate reaction, I reached out to my head, holding the cap in place of my head. It was spaceous, compared to all the other hats I have, yet rarely wear.
I sank to the ground, hugging my knees, looking out to the sky. I wasn't someone who cared about where I was sitting-- not that much anyway. Besides, it's nice to be carefree sometimes.

Cloud looks at the night sky his fox like eyes shining in the star light. He then looks down at Rei who was now sitting down on the ground. And he fixes his glasses and he sits down next to her. And he says "I hope Im not weirding you out or anything like that. Im a rather open guy. " Normaly a person isnt sappouse to be so open to strangers. Even though they know one anothers name. They would still be acauantince. But to Cloud everyone was friends, even though there bad there still his friend. He looks at Rei again and wonders what is going though her mind. And now he really wish he had his Alice back. Cause right about now he would be using his powers to make this girl smile.
So he sighs and folds his arms over his knees. And he then rest his head on his arms, his fox ears hang low showing the expression of bored. While his tail wags back and forth, the tip of his tail sometimes hitting Rei gently on her arm.
