Firestorm [Open]

[Shin]

The academy north woods 7:30pm, it was raining heavily on the woods that night the thunders clap and lightning strikes the track was no longer visible because the rain turned the road into a muddy way, the rain slowly turns into a sudden stop from out of the darkness a shadowy figure came out into where the moonlight sheds its light like a spot light, it has been a long time since the red haired kid had been gone inside the deadly caves which nobody speaks of this kid has been also rumored to be as dead but came back to life.

little by little his footsteps were gushing against the muddy ground, with his hands on his pocket while walking, he came to a halt nearly an inch near the cliff the boy looked down the cliff and jumped off it. It seems to be an eternity when he was pummeling down toward the ground, upon him crushing to the ground he got out huge white bird like wings and soared through the air like a Phoenix that has been reborn, his eyes turned to red and he softly spoke out with six echoing voices as he said.

" It's been a long time. "

He lifted his hands through the air and out came a strong burst of tongues of white flame that formed into a dragon as if ready to devour the moon.

[Akira]

"Dai kirai ame nanka.."

A sigh was released from the girl's glossed lips. She hates the feeling of water dripping down her gray coat. Akira was walking through North Woods. She felt going out even though there was rain. She doesn't do that, normally. For some reason, she was there but the girl didn't know exactly why. Did God have a reason for this?

Wearing a black gothic dress that was covered by a wet gray coat, she continued walking, getting deeper and deeper inside the woods. The rain suddenly stopped as she realized that she doesn't know where to go. Another sigh was released from her lips.

"I don't really like this, I have a bad feeling", the girl thought to herself. Akira tied her wet jet-black hair into a ponytail and she took her wet gray coat off.

A few sparks of white flame suddenly appeared in her sight. It was slightly weak at first. Then suddenly, the alice was terrifyingly strong. That kind of alice was quite familiar....TOO familiar. But this time, she doesn't want to remember the owner of the alice. The girl looked up to see. She saw it, a figure with white flame wings, the figure was too far to recognize who it was.

[Shin]

The fire show was finished, Shin fell from the sky like a meteor, he pummeled down on the ground and created a huge Crater he walked out of it unharmed with out a scratch he laughed hysterically that filled the whole woods with chill, he suddenly stopped for no reason he sensed something.... Something very familiar the smell was in the air it was a smell of brimstone but a very fragrant smell, Shin developed the sense to smell flame user alice from a far when he was trapped inside the cave and alot has change in him since then.

Shin looked down and slowly uttered the words. " Ta..ma..ki.. chan" he suddenly disappeared from where he was standing and appear behind the girl he has developed a seventh sense for Tamaki so that he would track her where ever she goes but not a stalker type.

" What.... are you doing here at this time of night. "

He said in a tone of gladness though Shin was a kind and gentle boy his death changed it all except for one thing his love for her that why he didn't crossed over through the light but instead live as a different person. His long crimson hair was covering his face that why he would be recognized and he was reported to be dead after dying from his tuberculosis.


" It's been a long time do you still hate me? I never crossed over because of you I know that leaving with saying goodbye is rude......."

he sat down on the muddy ground with his face facing the ground as if sleeping but he couldn't face Tamaki, not when he is not the Shin she once knew. he got up again and was pulling something out of his finger it was a ring with a from of the emblem of their family.

" I want you to have this..... but if you don't want it just burn it until it melts and throw it on my face. "

He hugged her maybe for the last time where his long red hair brushed against her shoulders before turning his back on her and walked away slowly.

[Akira]

" Ta..ma..ki.. chan"

Those words got her attention. How did the person know who she really was? Normally, they wouldn't know who she was unless she would reveal it the truth. But with -chan, it would most probably be...him. No, it can't be.

" What.... are you doing here at this time of night. "

Taking a deep breath, she looked back, hoping it would not be him. She didn't want to see him especially when she's looking like this. She found this time awkward. Akira turned around, looking at the young man. To think she would see him like this. This is really something that she doesn't want. Smiling innocently, the young girl replied, "I-I'm just walking around North woods, is there something wrong, mister-san?"

"W-What do you mean?", the young girl asked in the most innocent way she possibly can. Yes, she was faking it. She knew what happened between him and her. Hate him? The girl didn't hate him even though she forces herself, she just can't do it. Wait- He just said 'crossed over'. What did he mean by that? Did he just--- die? The girl looked down, avoiding the young man's eyes, she felt guilty.

"An-Anou-", the girl's words were stopped.

The young girl looked at him. She didn't know what to do. Either she would take that ring or refuse his offer. But, she took it without realizing it. Akira looked down at the ground, she could feel her cheeks slightly turn to pink, then she said "T-Thank you" She won't burn it. Never, she wouldn't.

The girl froze on the spot, not knowing what to do, she closed her eyes and shouted, "Ne, I never hated you!" Akira could feel tears fall from her eyes. She tried her best to stop it but she couldn't hold it.

"I-I actually-", the girl stopped at the middle of her statement. She opened her eyes, trying to be strong like she was a long time ago. Still, tears continued to fall down and she couldn't stop that. This was the first and last time she's actually able to say this.

Smiling, she continued, "...l-loved you"

[Shin]

He was nearing the dark, when in what he heard he stopped dead in his tracks. "I-I actually-...l-loved you" it kept echoing on his head it didn't stop his tears from falling, he fell down on his knees onto the muddy ground his head was aching he held it both his hands.

"You.... finally admit it...... it took me a year before I could hear it from you....*sniff sniff* I know you heard me say this a hundered times I love you too and I never wanted to part with you ever. "

He stood up from where he was kneeling, he turned in front of Tamaki, he pulled his hair that was covering his face and walk slowly toward her and when he reached her he hugged her tight and kissed her in the lips.

The eight dragons in Shins body went out and made a fireworks display so bright that it could be seen from all parts of the academy.

"I will never leave you... ever"

Shin's hug got thighter as if he was never letting go.

[Akira]

"Ah!", the girl took a step forward as she saw him fell on the ground. She was surprised by this. Did she do or say anything that made him fall? If she did, she's ready to say sorry. Well, tears from her eyes temporarily stopped since she knows that there would be more 'crying' later on.

A year, eh? Has it been that long since they met? Well, that doesn't matter now. She felt much in ease in this moment. Telling him that she loves him was hard for her. Actually, she doesn't have the intention in saying that. Why? She's afraid, afraid of hurting his feelings. Though even without saying that, she was able to hurt him.

The girl didn't say anything to his statement. Tears didn't fall. This was supposed to be a happy moment. Why would she cry in such event? But she still felt embarrassed. Akira took a step back as she saw the young man going to her direction. She didn't know what to do. The girl looked at the ground, trying to avoid looking at him.

The young girl was simply surprised. She didn't expect him to hug her like that. Once again, she could feel tears fall from her eyes. Sadness was not the reason for these tears.

Happiness.

This time, as the young man kissed her, she didn't hesitate to do so. She was happy, too happy. She was indeed satisfied. That short moment seems like to be eternity. The girl smiled as he hugged her. Although she wanted to say more, "Thank you" was all she can say.

OOC: ACK. Too blocked. xD

[Shin]

"Thank you" That was all that she can say, the red haired guy just smiled and nodded pulling himself away from her. Shin turned his back, saying. "If you need time I won't force you." He walked toward the dark part of the woods there he saw his old tree house, where everything still looks the same he climbed up the ladder and into the living room everything was still intact he can sense it but it was too dark to walk around so he lit up the chandelier that was on his celling.

"This house never changed, not one bit." he slowly spoke out ~growl~ a sound came out of Shins stomach, he just giggled a little and went to the kitchen he opened the cabinet but there was nothing to eat all of the food were expired after leaving the house for so long, he forgot to go shopping for food.

*Sigh* *Scratches head* he looked around the house for food, he remembered that he had a garden with fruits and vegetables that he planted himself of course with some herbal medicine that his grandfather asked him to be planted as well, Shin went down and entered the garden he saw his apple tree filled with red and juicy apples, he picked one and went to the big garden swing that he made near a cliff with fences so that in case the swing would break it would prevent it from falling. Overlooking the whole central town Shin looked while eating his apple while swinging.

"I'll never get tired of this." he said.

[Akira]

As the young man walked, the black-haired girl followed him behind. Looking at the ground, the girl pondered about what happened. Not that she didn't like this, of course. The 'crossed over' thing still bothers her until now. Her eyes, that once showed happiness, showed anxiety and nervousness. But she found it good that Shin doesn't have any idea what she's thinking or looking right now.

When Shin climbed up the ladder that leads to his house, the girl stopped and stared at it. As she touched the ladder, she could feel her hand shaking. Somehow, her body stopped her from going up. She didn't feel anything wrong, of course. Akira just decided to sit next to the ladder.

"This house never changed, not one bit.", the girl nodded as she heard him say it. Yes, it has been a while -- more than half a year since she's been inside Shin's treehouse and more than a year since she has met him. My, has it been that long? It only feels like it was yesterday. Well, as they say, time goes by fast.

Tip, Tap, Tip, Tap..

The young girl could hear drops of water. Though the silence seems to eerie, she felt secure that she was here. Her thoughts were actually in a different place. Yes, she was daydreaming and she's hallucinating. The girl could not hear what Shin was saying, all she could hear is the dropping of water. Akira's not sleepy, yet. So what's happening?
