Running Away Isn't Hard [Nikora]

[lexi]

A flash of blue and black shot past an alleyway before quickly darting down another and doubling back, muttering as he watched a cloud
of dust running in the direction he had come from. They would never
learn. That was the thought that ran through Nietka's head as he
walked the opposite way of the banshees, stuffing his hands in his
pockets as he went.

The only thing that he feared more than dogs were clingy girls.

Since he was a Kitsune, that was saying something. He had always
been chased by them since he was little, and they were starting to
irritate him. Mostly he just illusioned them into running away, but
they seemed unusually determined today for whatever reason.
His blue/purple eyes turned to the sky, cobalt hair falling in his eyes
as he watched the clouds go by.

One good thing about being in this form is that he could see a lot
more than usual.

Nietka was naturally observant, and he found he liked the scenery
around here. And by that, he meant landscape, not females. He
remembered telling a girl that once just for once trying to be casual,
and she had abruptly backhanded him and stormed off. Of course,
not before calling him a pervert or some other absurd term.

Really he didn't understand females at all.

[Nikora & Mylin]

Sighing she let her blond hair fall infront of her eyes. She was sitting down, off towards the more corner side of the courtyard. Her right side was against one of the school's walls. And her white parasel was in between her legs, blocking the sun from hitting her fair, pale, skin. She just wanted to get away from it all. Light blue eyes shut tight, trying to fight back the tears. She had only been here for a few days and already she hated it. The only thing that she could think of was how much she hated her brother right now. Clenching her teeth she grabbed the top of her head with her hands. She just wanted to rip out all of her beautiful, long, blond hair. A smile came to her face at the thought; even if she did do that, she'd still be more beautiful than most of the people around here. Though it was true her beauty was far beyond others, you must always remember the saying that true beauty lies skin deep.

Letting go of her hair she leaned back, her back now pressing against another of the school's walls. Light blue eyes glanced up towards the cloud filled sky. Today was just another day to her, and she wanted to keep as far away from the others as possible. Actually, she wasn't even sure when class started and wasn't too thrilled on having to go. Perhaps she would just sit out here all day.. and hide from more than just the sun.

Not too thrilled on paying attention to anything she grabbed hold of her parasel and raised it above her head. Making sure that the shade covered her entire body she stood up and brushed herself off. Perhaps she could walk around some. Fixing her uniform and making sure that her pink ribbon was doing its job on holding half of her hair up (but not her bangs) she smiled and began to walk out of her corner and more towards the grassy center of the courtyard. There were people about, but she wasn't too keen on getting to know them. A lot of them were girls, and let's just say she wasn't a fan of girls. Holding her head up high she continued to walk, not really paying attention to where she was going.

He kept his pace, still walking away from the girls that
had become the plague of his existence. His eyes fixed
upon the sky, he didn't bother to watch where he was
going. Everybody seemed to simply get out of his way
already, so why should he deny them that ? A small
smirk crossed his flawless countenance,eyes closing
and eyebrows quirking in a way that added his aloof
and somewhat arrogant nature that had always come
to him like beasts to water.

In the brief moment he closed his eyes, he felt something
soft collide with him. Eyes shot open and his body reacted
catching whatever it was before it could fall. It was a girl.
Normally he would have scowled and if he was in a rotten
enough mood, dropped her, but there was something
about her that caught his eye. She certainly wasn't ugly
with her light hair and eyes, but she looked ordinary enough
to him. There wasn't anything that stuck out alarmingly
about her, and yet, she was interesting. He didn't bother
putting her down, seemingly content to just hold her until
she asked for her freedom.

"I apologize"

The words were coaxed out before he registered them,
and he wondered what had made him apologize. For
all he knew, she had run into him. Maybe chivalry wasn't
dead after all...

[Nikora & Mylin]

Closing her eyes gently she couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of today. Aside from hating it here she knew she enjoyed it more than the place she had come from. It had been so cramped there, but now she had plenty of room to escape it all. She wasn't sure how long she had been walking but it felt like she had just closed her eyes when she felt something bump into her. Making a soft gasping sound she could feel her feet slip from under her, her hands released allowing the white parasol to fall to the ground, but for some reason she did not fall. The feeling of falling only made her eyes close tighter, and her fists become clenched. It was only when she felt the soft hands of another on her side and back that she opened her light blue eyes.

Blinking she looked at her saviour, who was also the reason she had almost fallen in the first place. Her light blue eyes gazing into his blue, almost purple eyes. She could feel the heat rising to her face as she looked at him. The girl was just so shocked that she could hardly register what was going on. After hearing his words her face blushed a bright red. Parting her lips to speak she could feel the warmth of the sun on her skin which caused her to close her mouth. Eyes glanced down to see her white parasol laying on the ground. Closing her eyes in anger she grabbed his hands with her own, opening her eyes again as she pushed him away.

"Next time, watch where your going!" The color on her face, and the sweetness it once had, all seemed to disappear exchanging with a look of anger. Brushing off her skirt, trying to fix herself and regain her calm, she picked up her parasol and placed it over her head. Looking down at the ground she sighed and closed her eyes. Her hands twisted the handle of her parasol, making it spin, as she spoke to him. This time her voice was soft and sweet sounding, not harsh as it had been moments before. "..Thank you for catching me." The guy was interesting, his eyes were rather inviting and his gray hair looked soft. Looking up to him she could feel the heat rising to her cheeks again, she was only five foot three inches so he stood way above her. The height difference made her feel slightly inferrior, which she did not like at all.

[lexi]

He smiled slightly, the gesture revealing sharper than
normal canines before his lips settled back into their
complacent state, a corner lifted up as amusement
sparked in his unusual colored eyes. Really, now, all
he had done was catch her, and she looked a bit flustered.
Despite her angry tone, he knew better. She was quite
the little actress , really...

"Your welcome."

He didn't know her name, and he didn't want to pry, so
he simply left it at that, running a hand through his
gunmetal locks. Another warm breeze came through,
unusual since the day had been rather cold, and he closed
his eyes in relaxation as his bangs were swept across
his face. When he opened them, he saw her looking up
at him, her cheeks flushed at him once again.

Hmm, maybe it was the warm wind that had just passed by ?

"Are you alright ?"

His voice was a deep and silky purr as he looked down
at her, a dark brow raised in question as he watched
her. Now that he thought about it, he'd never really just
watched someone before....

He rather liked it.

[Nikora & Mylin]

Turning her head away she decided she wasn't going to feel like he had more power than her by looking up so instead she glanced towards the people to the left of them. There was a group of girls all talking to each other and a few guys walking about. All of them holding school books. That was one thing she would never do, hold her own books. The whole idea of it made her think it would belittle her to do so. A warm breese hit her face, her eyes closed and her hands tightened their grip on her parasol. The breese felt nice and she couldn't help but lift her head up and smile. The color on her face was now gone, as she no longer felt like the guy before her had more power.

As the wind stopped she opened her eyes, but all she could see was the underside of her parasol. "Hmm?" The guy had talked again, but this time she had no idea what was said. However, his voice had a catlike feel to it, almost like he purred. Tilting her head she looked his way, but refused to look up at him. Her light blue eyes couldn't see his face, all they could see were the people behind him and his torso. If she had looked up she would of noticed him watching her, which might of freaked her out, but since she hadn't she was none the wiser. It took her a while to recall anything that had been said but once she figured out he had asked if she was alright she smiled softly. "Hehe. Yup!~ Don't worry about it, kay?" While saying her last word she winked at him while giving him the peace sign. Her blue eyes looked up at him only when she talked, and then glanced back down.

Though she did not know his name she really didn't feel like asking, she never really cared to know the names of others and even if she did find out she probably wouldn't remember it.

[lexi]

Nietka watched as her attention was directed
to the other people around them, and he
cringed slightly as he saw the giggling group
of girls to the left. One waved when he looked
at them and he resisted the strong urge to
gag. Great, just when he needed.

More girls.

Actually, now that he thought about it, the
girl he was currently talking to wasn't all that
bad. She had been pretty quiet and hadn't
attempted to attach herself, so she was
alright 'in his book'. Humans had wierd sayings..

"I asked if you were alright, "

A smirk crossed his face as he looked down
at her before he observed the people walking
by once more. Most of them he had seen
around even if he hadn't talked to them and
he really didn't feel like initating a conversation
right now.

Besides, he still had this girl to talk to.

"I'm Nietka.."

[Nikora & Mylin]

He was interesting, if she must say, but he was just like everyone else to her. All of the people around here were worthless and it sickened her to be trapped in this school. She wasn't sure what exactly it was, but something was off with everyone here.. Maybe it was cause they actually felt the need to learn something. Sighing she closed her eyes for a brief moment. Perhaps it was simply because she knew they had someone waiting for them back home. Clenching her fists she opened her eyes at his voice. She was thankful that he spoke before she began thinking too much.

"Nietka.. Nietka.." She muttered his name to herself, as if trying to make sure she would remember it. Smiling she looked back up to him and allowed her own name to grace his ears. "I'm Nikora." It's odd, to meet someone in such a manner. They had just bumped into each other but instead of biting his head off she had remained friendly almost the entire time. Turning her parasol around in her hands she looked up, watching the sunlight bounce off of it.

"What a day.." Her words were spoken in a soft manner, almost as if she was giving a complement. She just wasn't a people person and for some odd reason didn't feel like charming the other into doing things for her. Not today, she wasn't in the mood for those games right now. Actually she wasn't in the mood for much of anything, however maybe that was what she needed to get her mind off things. Or perhaps.. something else? Seeing as he was the first person she actually talked to in this entire Academy she wasn't going to do anything to him, but maybe she would find someone else to torment. Smirking she looked back over to the tall, handsome, male and tilted her head. "Wouldn't you agree?"

[lexi]

Nietka wasn't much for warm weather, but today was such a
perfect mixture of warm and cold that he couldn't help but
enjoy the day. His black short-sleeve tunic and pants were
quite comfortable not to mention they breathed well. His
boots were a little warm when the sun blazed down but
he'd live.

"Yes, I suppose so."

He couldn't resist taking a look at the sky
again, still that neon blue that looked more
black than blue at the top. Supposedly, that
was the highest part of the atmosphere and
it showed the darkness of space. Either way,
it was a beautiful sight.

His thoughts turned to her name. Nikora. It
was a pretty name, and it almost sounded
like his own. He figured it was the female version
of Nikolai, and wondered why he had never
heard it before.

A smirk placed onto his features as he stuck his
hands into his pockets, refusing the urge to scowl
as he heard the clicking of a camera. That had
become a very familiar sound since he had started
coming here and he was starting to wonder if
someone was following him.

He muttered things about stalkers under his breath

"Surprisingly it was supposed to rain today."

[Nikora & Mylin]

Smiling she sat down on the grass, her fingers running through the blades of grass. Closing her eyes she put her head back, enjoying the breese that swept past her. When he spoke she looked back up to him and tilted her head. "Rain?... Today?" Moving her parasol out of her way she looked up to the skies and laughed, then quickly made it so it was blocking the sun's rays again.

"You gotta be kidding me." Today was so warm, and the clouds were light. There's no way it was supposed to rain today. However, she actually enjoyed the rain. Perhaps it was the pig in her, but she loved to splash in the puddles and sink her bare feet into the oozy mud.

Sighing she looked at him, there was something about him that was different; she just couldn't put her finger on it. Perhaps it was simply because he wasn't wearing the uniform like everyone else around this school. Or maybe it could be something from his past? Curious she looked away from him, curling back up into the position she had been in before she left the comfort of the corner. So what's your story?"

[lexi]

Nietka allowed some amusement to flicker through him
before he blocked it off again. He wasn't up to controlling his
emotions today so he'd simply turn them off. It was better than
hopelessly trying to figure them out anyway.. He watched her
sit down, and decided to stand instead since it would just be
awkward to sit there.

He was expecting her to want him to leave now.

The only times girls, people really, got close to him was
because they wanted something from him. Usually it was
because he was 'cool', for whatever idiotic reason they
thought of, and they would be cool by hanging around
with him. Even though he didn't even want them, they
were like fleas.

"I don't really have a 'story', I've always been alone
really so I wouldn't really have one..."

Normal beings were social. Normal beings have adventures
and stories to tell others. He didn't feel very normal right now.
