Shiro lied across a bench under the street light in the park, it was a little chilly, and he could nearly see his breath. His hoody kept minimal warmth against the cold and he huddled with his book, reading it in the open light. He wasn't worried about anyone to bother him for it was rather late. Shiro yawned softly as he flipped though his book, looking for where he left off. Within the darkness was complete silence and he yawned a second time as he found his place, continuing to read where he last left off. It was a rather drab part, and wasn't as quite interested. As result, his mind wondered to the afternoon, earlier today. "Who is that kid..?" a girl whispered to her friends, leaning in close as if he didn't notice. Shiro glanced their way and the girls suddenly huddled together and started to gossip about something else. Shiro sighed, pausing for a moment and just continued on his way. He felt their eyes watching him as he continued. Not many people liked him just for his melancholic mood. Seeming gloomy rather than someone they could approach. He didn't care, he just wanted them to leave him alone about it all. Shiro stepped out into the courtyard and looked around; People were chatting at the fountain, located at the middle and fewer groups were scattered amongst the grounds. Just wanting a moment of solitude, he found a rather comfortable spot under a tree and opened his book to read for the lunch period. "Hmm~ Whatcha reading..?" It was the voice of a young male, soft, yet reaching maturity. Shiro looked up, slightly shocked to be spoken to and noticed him hovering above him, reading the text in the book and he closed it, turning it onto his lap so he could read the title, "Look for yourself," Shiro responded in a rather disgruntled tone... Not wanting to be bothered any longer. The young male smiled slightly and spoke up again, "Ahh well-" he was cut off by the bell echoing through the school and courtyard. "Uhh-ohh! Better go!" spoken quickly by the younger male let out a little squeak. Shiro chuckled at that and got up to leave, "Off to my next class...." Shiro sighed and continued to just stare blankly at his book, "What a day.... I wonder who he was..? Or what he wanted for that matter.."

Wonders around the park, bored after having a finished a meal. She blinks noticing a young male reading and walks over to him. "hello. sorry, If I'm intruding but isn't a bit late for you to be out?" She smiles tiredly wrapping her coat around herself more. "what is it about anyways, your book?" she looks at the book then him interested. She always loved reading, ever since she could remember.... though it brought her trouble in the past. She shiver shaking her head to get rid of her thoughts whispering to herself "That was years ago.... no sense in thinking of that now." She then turns her attention back to him. "I'm Kora by the way."

Shiro kind of shrunk in at her sudden approach and looked up from his book, he was reading a certain passage in his book as she approached and repeated it when he saw her eyes, he spoke loud and clear, enough for her to hear, "The vampire had eyes like mercury, they swirled like magic and never held the same. Their eyes were mesmerizing, as if to take the soul of another...."
He stared at her unblinking, wondering if this was true for her. He didn't speak afterward, but neither did he move. Shiro only waited, to see her reaction, and to see if she may do something...
He never thought that, a simple fantasy story, would hold so much truth.

She smiles softly "What do you think I am?" She sits down slowly as not to startle him. "What is your name?" She looks closer at him then frowns "Your probly cold. Here" She takes her coat off offering it to him. She looks at his book "What is that about? Is it very good?" She then looks back at him unblinking as she starts to hum softly.

Shiro shrugged slightly as he settled back down, seeing that she's no threat.. "Kora, was it?" he nodded slightly in affirmation. "You may call me Shiro, if you wish...." he spoke quietly, "You are what you are after all...."
Shiro yawned softly and closed his eyes, "The book has no real meaning.."he paused for a moment of thought, "Well, besides now, I suppose.."
He peeked further through the pages, wondering if it was in fact, a real life experience turned into a fairy tale.

"shiro? thats an interesting name" she looks at him taking her coat back speaking quitely "and the human quaked in fear as a shadow stalked him... something more beautiful then he had ever known.. angels of death humans called them. death dealers by their own kind.." She smiles faintly at him, sadly almost "I lovereading.. but I had to stop a few years ago.. It got me into trouble.. I found out stuff I wan't supposed to know.." she starts to hum softly. |

The boy gave a quick, curt not, yawning softly before speaking. "Shiro could be an interesting name, or it couldn't. I for one think it isn't. It's really based upon the person. I can see you know this book well."
Shiro closed the book after placing a tiny paper book mark in it's place. He loved to read as well, though in his home he was able to read whatever he wanted. Having no limits to the vast knowledge books held. Knowledge is power, after all... but sometimes that power can become corrupted. "I for one... think Korasu is a better name than mine."
His eyelids started to feel heavy, a little tired for it was late, after all.

She blinks then laughs softly the sound sounding like soft flutes. "I never said I read that book. I find your name very interresting.. and you very interesting as well...." She speaks quitely looking down embaressed. She then looks at him as he yawns. "Where do you live? You shouldn't be here at night this late. Its dangerous. Let me take you home shiro please." She stands up holding her hand out to him.

Shiro smiled softly in response, "I don't live far from here..." He pointed out in the direction of his home. "Though it's down that way, if you'd like to know."
He rubbed his eyes lightly, "And not reading the book.. It's odd, cause you quoted the next line exactly."
Shiro stood up from where he lay, tucking the book under his arm. "I really wouldn't mind if you walked me back, it well appreciated."

She smiles slyly "How do you know I'm not something diffrent...? "The vampire had eyes like mercury, they swirled like magic and never held the same. Their eyes were mesmerizing, as if to take the soul of another...."" She looks in the direction he pointed and simply nodded. "What are your hobbies Shiro? Do you mind if I wish to know you better.. I think your well.." She looks down a faint blush showing on her cheeks.

He tilted his head for a moment to get a better look at her face. "Hm.." Shiro shook his head as he stood strait again. He looked down the sidewalk, dimly lit from the street's lights. "Kinda... dark..."

She looks up at him sadly "D-do you mind if I stay the night til I get my paycheck tomorrow so I can pay back my rent. I'll pay you as well if you wish..." She breathes in deeply tensing for a minute then relaxes slowly. We're safe. I'd hate to get into a fight.. She looks ahead shivering slightly. "Do you have books at your house?"
