Symphony (Nami)

[Leler]

Hibiki sat against the tree, staring at the sky. he wasn't in any mood to, considering that he had just found a huge rats nest in his food storage at his house, play his flute. But he had to. If he didn't play it every day, his lung capacity went down, and he'd been trying for atleast three months after the bout of disease he'd had to build it up again. He wasn't about to let some rat who couldn't give birth elsewhere ruin over a month of training. He placed it to his lips, imagined a girl, and closed his eyes and played.

Nami rushed through the woods, her mind on several different things at once. She didn't really knew where she was heading, her legs where leading her wherever the empty spaces between the treas where going.
She realised that she had been running several miles without knowing where she was, so she slowly came to a stop.
Breathing heavily, she looked around.
'Wow... my speed increased without my will. I have to do something so I can get my mind off of my problems...'
She slowly made her way through the trees, listening to the sound of the wind. Suddenly, musical notes began filling the air, and Nami's hazel eyes searched for the source.
She made her way around a tree, and saw a boy playing.
'Beautiful..', she whispered to the sound of the instrument.
She sat down, with slow, fluid movements, her soft gaze still on the boy.

[Leler]

Hibiki heard the girl long before he felt her gaze. Carefully, he listened to the gentle sounds she made, and realized that maybe this was the girl he had been calling. He ended the song, and opened his eyes.
"Hello, did you like the song?" he asked, watching her carefully with his icy blue eyes. Today they had a little lighter bit to them, making them nearly white. He watched her carefully, and listened to her answer.
"I am Isamu, Hibiki. what's your name? he asked, his eyes still following her movements. Maybe he'd been lucky, and she'd come from farther away. The farthest he'd ever summoned someone from was two miles, which wasn't very impressive.
"If I may ask, where were you running from, and how long had you been heading in this direction without your conscience?"

[nami]

As soon as Hibiki spoke, Nami tilted from behing the tree, and made her way up on two again.
She slightly smiled, and nodded, "Yes, the song was beautiful"
Her eyes searched his, as an instinct, and she took a step forward, a sign that she didn't read in his eyes anything that whould scare or alert her.
"My name is Nami Chikukashi", she took another step towards him.
Still searching in his eyes, she stared back with a calm gaze. She made a few more steps, and then sat down in front of him.
"I come all the way from the Leaf Village. On my way, I got caught in my thoughts, as usual. So I don't know how I landed up here, I wasn't paying attention to the road.", she answered, her eyes glancing at the flute, then lifted back to his gaze.

[Leler]

Hibiki listened, and nodded slowly.
"Nice to meet you Nami. Would you mind telling me about yourself? I wish to see if I played the same song. All I need to know is like what people generally describe you as and such. If that's ok with you." Hibiki spoke quickly. Never before had he wanted to play someone's song so badly, and it killed him to have to wait. Infact, he had to play the song of calming to be safe. A peaceful air spread over the small clearing where the two sat, and soon Hibiki was much calmer.
"Sorry, I needed that." he said, trying not to let how embarrassed he was at having to play a song to calm himself down.

[nami]

Nami smiled, and throwed a dark lock out of her eyes. She didn't really understand why would Hibiki want to know about her, they just met. But she tryed to remember what people say about her.
In her mind, forgotten faces began forming, lost words came back, as well as past feelings. As she sank deeper in her mind, pain appeared out of nowhere, waking her up to reality.
She looked up, and meeting Hibiki's eyes, she realised that she might have stayed in her mind too long, and might have scared the boy.
"Sorry...", she murmed, "sometimes I just loose myself in my memories..."
For a moment, she looked away, gathering what she found, and then parted her rose`ish lips:
"I often get called dark, mysterious, hard to understand, freak, stubborn, cold. But I had my bright days when I got called 'a good friend', loyal, and loving.", she patted her lips briefly with one finger, and then continued, "It all depends on the person who is describing me."

[Leler]

Hibiki nodded slowly again, listening. When he saw the pained expression on Nami's face, he quickly played the song of pain releases, which takes the pain out of the current situation and you no longer feel it. Hibiki had used it many times before, and was prepared to do so again. Ho sat thoughtful for a minute, stringing her words into notes. After a moment, he decided to try it.
"Please stand over there, and lose yourself, don't try and resist what you feel, ok? Pretty please, with sugar and cherries and sprinkles and fudge and nuts on top?" Hibiki asked, pointing off to a section of the forest that was a little thicker. He waited until she was farther away, and began playing.

[nami]

Nami held in a chuckle as Hibiki asked her nicely, and then nodded.
She took a few slow, fluid steps to where he pointed her to go. She turned around to face him, and sighed.
'I wonder what he wants to do', Nami thought.
She had her doubts, she never really trusted people, or if she did, she hid it from the world's eyes.
When she revealed her feelings, people pointed at her and laughed. She promised herself never to do such a thing again.
Now, she had been asked to lose control over her feelings.
"Hn" , she mumbled, 'losing control over myself by my will is going to be tought', she whispered to herself.
She closed her eyes, and breathed deep.
'One try won't hurt...I guess.'
She waited a moment before releasing herself from her chains...

[Leler]

Hibiki's eyes were closed as he blew into his instrument, warming it beneath his fingertips. The song he played he hoped was the right one. If it was, then he would be able to summon Nami, and for some odd reason, it was the same song he had been playing moments ago. He didn't let that dwell in his head for too long, that would have been bad otherwise. He continued to play, and hoped with all his heart that it was the right song. Slowly, his icy blue eyes were reaveiled as his eyelids pulled up as he heard a shuffle in the bushes.

[nami]

Nami sat with her eyes closed. She bit her bottom lip. She couldn't feel anything, she released herself totally.
Then she felt a soft, faint feeling going up her spine. It was small, but enough for Nami to feel it.
The feeling flew away for a moment or two at the sound comming from the bushes.
She kept her eyes closed.
'I don't exactly know if it's wise to trust him if somebody attacks us... but...', Nami sighed, 'I just hope it's a bird or something like that...'
She kept her eyes tight shut, and focused on the small tingling feeling on her spine.

[Leler]

Hibiki's sharp eyes scanned the bushes slowly, looking for whatever it was that had disturbed him. The finely crafted flute slipped from his fingers as a face pushed itself through the bushes. It had a scar over the eye, running down to it's lip. Hibiki gulped slowly and stood up.
"Na-Na-Nami?" he stuttered. "Don't move. There's a BIG mean bear here, and I don't think he wants to play. He looks rather hungry and thin...." Hibiki said. He'd had encounters with this bear before, and it was this bear that had given him a vicious scar. He gulped, and the little scar on his throat grew warm rather quickly. Slowly, Hibiki leaned over and picked up his prized weapon form the ground. Never once did his icy eyes leave the bear's cold ones.

[nami]

Nami's eyes flashed open at the sound of the word "bear". She never had problems with wild animals, she usually didn't stop in the woods, passing through them like a shadow. Now, she didn't know what to think. Her mind was flooded with thousands and thousands of ideas of how to get out of the situation, but she wasn't happy with none.
'What did attract the bear here in the first place?', she found the question among her thoughts, 'something's not right...as far as I know, wild animals avoid strange noises, or at most, just inspect them. This one must be really hungry...other then that, I can't understand what's it's problem.'
She breathed softly, trying to keep fear aside, as far as possible. Her eyes set on Hibiki's movements, she hoped that someone up there has some other plans for them..other than death.

[Leler]

Hibiki hated to do this, but he hadn't the first time, and because of that he nearly lost his life. He pushed the image of the bear into every corner of his mind, drowning out everything else out. He played the song of death, and the large animal crumpled. Hibiki dropped to his knees infornt of the bear, and ran a hand through the thick and rough fur. the large beast was no longer alive, but Hibiki could feel the spirit of the magnificant creature beneath his finger tips. He knew what he had to do to keep it from hurting him. He put the end of the flute against the great beast's head, before playing. The spirit and strength floated up into Hibiki. It swirled around in him, and soon he could tell that it had been a good idea to take the great spirit and strength.
"Nami, you may come out now..." Hibiki said, attempting not to fall over as the bear's sprit found his heart.

[nami]

Nami turned to look at the bear that was lying on the ground now. Her gaze darkened at the sight, felt the goose bumps going up her spine, but rushed the feeling away. She sighed and looked away.
'Poor thing...', she whispered in her mind, 'I guess it was either it or us... but wait...why do I care?'
Her eyes dropped on Hibiki, and she quickly analyzed his body language.
"You ok?", she said, coming closer to him and placing one hand on his right shoulder. "You don't look so good..."
