A Meeting Of Strangers [Closed]

Kaminari's attention was still on the hollow until she heard a light thud. She turned her head to look back to Aoi and her eyes widened. She raised her hand to her throat and realized what had happened rather quickly. A saddened look moved into her eyes as she jumped to her feet and ran over to him.

She raised her arm behind her back and sheathed her Zanpakutō quickly, before she knelt down and helped him sit up, hugging him as a way of apologizing and telling him that she was okay. She appreciated what he had done, but she was used to not having to talk, so it was okay. She was just glad that she got a chance to speak again, even if it was short.

"Well what should I do now...? I can't talk to him and he's weakened, so I guess resting is our best bet." She looked around and then helped him over to a large tree and leaned his back against it. She sat down next to him and took in a deep breath, but keeping herself alert. She didn't sense that any thing was coming near them, so she felt that for the moment they would be safe.

Aoi reached his hand out in a thanking and grateful manner to Kaminari's shoulder. "Thanks Kaminari, I know you're worried. I think I will be fine in a bit." As he spoke he was pulling chaos energy from the tree, not putting it in himself but in his seishin buki. His earring began glowing with a ruby tint. Aoi turned his head to Kaminari after he finished speaking, he had a frown on his face along with with a few dirt patches from when he hit the ground. "Your zanpakto what's its name?" Aoi curiously asked.

Aoi seemed to want her to talk to help ease the mood but he knew she didn't want to because of the power her voice had. Aoi was charging his seishin buki "Phoenix" so that he could hear her again. He knew he'd be alright in the long haul so he didn't worry about himself too much.

As Aoi began thinking of ways to better the situation he began thinking of how his mother always gave him Mr.Bear. He pulled Mr. Bear out and hugged him then offering him to Kaminari. [b]"Do you want to hold him?"[\b] Even though it sounded childish Aoi had always used his childhood comforts to help him relax.

( Sorry this post is so late! Im on the road to yellowstone, I haven't forgot about our role play!

Kaminari took her time to sense whether any more Hollows were to be heading their way, and fortunately there were not. A relieved sigh left the girl's lips as she laid her head back against the trunk. She sat there, calming herself down and waiting for her control to take over. She was happy that Aoi said he would be okay. She didn't want him being hurt, especially since she had no ability to heal. She closed her eyes for a moment, taking in a deep breath as a cool breeze moved through the area and allowed her to relax even more.

She smiled. She loved the feeling of cold air moving along her skin. It comforted her. It's the reason why she stopped in this area in the first place. She and an old friend use to always find little spots that had a breeze running through them. This was one of their favorites. There were even times that the breeze got strong enough that they could hear a low whistling through the trees.

Her eyes opened when she heard Aoi talk. She turned to him and glanced down to the teddy bear that he was holding. She just smiled and shook her head. She didn't want him to think her rude, but teddy bears weren't exactly comforting for her. She looked up to the sky and spoke calmly, "I should be returning to the Seireitei soon. I've been gone a little too long and my classes will be continuing." She was able to use her voice when she was in a completely calm and serene state. At this moment she definitely was that.

"I'm glad to have met you, Aoi..." she said as she stood up, "But I do need to get going. I have a few things in my life that I need to get straightened out... I'm also filthy and tired. I want to go home." She set a hand on his shoulder and then smiled sweetly at him. "I hope we see one another again... Goodbye." With that she began walking off, waving happily to him. "Just be safe..."

Aoi smiled, though she turned down the teddy bear she atleast seemed in a better state. At that moment when she put her hand on his shoulder he smile gently back with his usual glow. He was obviously still banged up a bit but he was good enough to make it home. He began thinking about what his clan was up to and how similar Kaminari's home was to Aoi's.

After hearing her bid farewell he waved a gentle bye. [b] "Bye Kaminari! I hope you get everything going smoothly!"[\b] He watched her walk off and his face grew serious, he knew it was rare to encounter shinigami yet alone one with the power Kaminari had the potential to possess. Maybe next time they saw each other Kaminari will be stronger and able to help Aoi grow just as strong.

After she finally was out of sight Aoi got up and began moving, with each step his earrings glowed brighter. His chaos energy returned to normal and he used it to get back to Iranasha island. He thought he was alone in this world before he came to Rukongai. Now he knew he had atleast one friend.
