Riuke Shihiro

“My parents just don’t understand that I want to play music, not go into business.
However, I couldn’t bring myself to tell them.”

When the strange boy mentioned his own guitar, Riuke got a little more interested in what he had to say, and started paying his full attention. "I see, that sounds great," he said a little quietly, but loud enough for the boy to hear. The boy then intoduced himself and his sister, and he suddenly became a little flustered, as not many people actually introduced themselves to him very often. "U-uh, a-and m-my name is ... Riuke Shihiro. I-it's very nice to meet you b-both," he said formally but nervously. He was glad to have met these people who seemed to share the same passion for music that he had, or at least, the boy named Claude did, he didn't know about his sister Alicia. Claude then asked him something that he definitely wasn't prepared for, he asked to see his guitar. Riuke hesitated for a bit, unsure of how to react. Well, he seems nice enough.... he thought to himself a little nervously before sayig "U-uh, o-okay," and he gently handed his guitar over to Claude.

Claude was bursting with excitement on the inside when Riuke agreed to let him see his guitar. Immediately when he held that guitar, Claude could feel electricity flowing from his brain to his finger tips. Alicia could just smile at her brother and his new friend. She knew that music was her brother’s life. And although she too liked music, she wasn’t able to understand it like Claude did. Compared to how things back at ‘home’ were, she enjoyed seeing her brother happy. Clasping her hands together, she said, “This is so exciting! I know, how about I buy us some a bite to eat. It’s the least I could do to thank you for allowing my brother to see you’re guitar. I’ll be back in a flash.” And with that she left.

Although Claude in the other hand, just nodded at whatever his sister said as he was already in his own world. Holding that guitar was like magic. In no time he started to play. As he played his song, he was mindful that the guitar wasn’t his. But the sound it produced was, in short, amazing. The guitar was tuned perfectly, and the strings were sharp, clear, and in perfect harmony. This was a well kept guitar. All too quickly the song came to an end, and Claude was brought back to reality. Taking a minute to allow his mind to retouch earth, he just sighed slowly as he was completely satisfied. When one swift motion, he handed the guitar back to Riuke, “Thanks man. She’s awesome. You treated her well and she thanks you for it,” he said. Looking around he now noticed that someone was missing. “Hey…where did my sister go?” he asked.

(OCC: Here! This is the song he was playing. Please listen to it as you read this post- X)

Riuke Shihiro

“My parents just don’t understand that I want to play music, not go into business.
However, I couldn’t bring myself to tell them.”

When the girl named Alicia said she was going to go get them something to eat, he wanted to say that she didn't have to go to the trouble on his account, but being that he wasn't very good at talking to people, she left before he could say a word. He then got to hear Claude play his guitar and he spaced out in listening to its beautiful sound. When he finished playing, Riuke thought it was all too soon. When Claude gave him his guitar back and thanked him, he became a little embarrassed that someone was thanking him and said "N-no, it's alright. I loved your song!" He then heard Claude ask where his sister was, and Riuke said "O-oh, she said she was going to go get us something to eat, but she really didn't have to do that on my account," he finished, looking downwards and a little depressed.

“She went to go get us something to eat? That’s fine then,” replied Claude. Suddenly, he was overcome with the feeling of dread when he realized something, “Oh shoot. I forgot that she doesn’t know the town all too well yet,” he said as he looked at all the possible directions she could have gone. “She’s been so busy with work and stuff that she hasn’t been able to explore the town. She might even get lost,” he said as he pulled out his cell phone. Although he should be acting as the concerned older brother, Claude felt the need not to worry. “Well she does have a cell. She could just call me if she gets lost,” he said as he placed his phone back in his pocket. His statement was a bit cold, but he knew that it was true. If she really was lost then she would just call. “She’s a big girl. I’m sure she could handle herself,” he thought. “Oh and thank you for the comment; considering I just started learning the guitar six months ago. I figured that you were playing earlier. So as a fellow musician, it’s my turn to listen to you play. If you don’t mind that is,” said Claude.

Riuke Shihiro

“My parents just don’t understand that I want to play music, not go into business.
However, I couldn’t bring myself to tell them.”

At first, Riuke was mildly interested in the way Claude was acting about Alicia going off on her own, being that he never had a sibling himself to worry about or to worry about him, but when Claude changed his mind he only thought that Claude was thinking fairly rationally, not that he was being cold. When he heard Claude tell him that he had only been practicing for half a year, he was a little shocked. Wow, he's only been practicing for half a year and he's already THAT good?! He's pretty good! A lot better than I am at least. . . . Since he was inexperienced at hiding things, this depressing thought was written all over his face. However, upon request, he instantly began to play a slow, sweet, yet slightly sad tune that communed perfectly with the heart, and synchronized with his own sad feelings, outwardly broadcasting them as beautiful sounds from the guitar. He played these melodies with his eyes closed, as he did before, and literally let his heart guide his fingers to strum what was playing in his heart. When he finished, he looked up at Claude and, caring more about someone's opinion now then he ever did in his life, asked "H-how was it?"

Skyler looked around the area, mostly at the allies since the monster hunter man asked her to come. That man owes me some more money, he's ten dollars behind...Skyler thought as she thought it in a deep voice. She saw the man then asked, "What do you want, and I'm not gonna answer any sh** about the monsters, I just came for the money you owe the bill." Skyler rather said it in an angry tone.

Drake exited the cafe and looked around, most people on the street he didn't recognize. There were some musicians there. He didn't care, all he wanted to was find a good base, and that ment finding where the power hotspots where.

Drake was actually amazed by how silent the girl was. He turned around to the girl. "I paid you twenty for a burger with fries and a soda. And You WILL tell me where the monster sanctuary is." He looked around quickly and said. "To the alley quick." He kind of pushed her into the alley way. "I am not a hunter, nor a bounty man. I am just looking for some one. One who has been here for over twenty plus years. Who has a lust for blood and does not like monsters." He looks at her in the eyes. He takes out a business card. It reads: 'Drake Darknight, expert consultant." He used it when giving it to cops, it was a legit business he did on the side as a cover.

Skyler blinked."What the hell is a monster sanctuary?"Skyler really didn't know a lot about sanctuaries; She only studied about monsters, not where the monsters go, or something like that."And, since the Cafe is popular, the prices are high. Now give me the damn ten dollars."

Drake was getting pissed. "The god dam sanctuary." He said as he pulled the girl up to his level, her feet hanging in the air. "The one from over twenty years ago, it was in the invisible second floor of the general store." He keeps his eyes in contact with hers doing a trick that would keep her from screaming.  

[OMFG SUPER SUGOI]

Skyler facepalmed, obviously thinking that he doesn't believe her."I seriously don't know what you're talking about, and this store is only three years old, so if you're looking for a store that's twenty years old, check another one."

((Um, Skyler is taller than Drake, so how is her feet hanging in the air? . _ ."))

arm length, he can still bring her off her feet I have seen it happen

Drake looked down and breathed. He let the girl drop from his hands and he reached into his pockets and pulled out a ten dollar bill."Here is your money." He says almost growling. "Don't waste it like I did!" He turns and walks out onto the streets, walking away from the cafe.

Skyler rolled her eyes, then went back to the cafe.

After Riuke finish playing his song, all Claude could do was clap. “You’re really good Riuke. You have talent. You truly do. When I heard you play just now, I could feel that emotion you had. Not even my music can reach out the audience like that. I’m really impressed,” praised Claude. He was telling the truth. I guess it’s because he’s been through so many competitions, he’s heard many classical pieces played the same way that he thought when he would play that piece, it was suppose to sound like that too. So, he used to play music by the notes. But every song he played had no personality to it. When he realized this, he felt that as a musician, he wasn’t even an individual anymore and that he was the same as every body else. That’s why ever since then, Claude would always try to play from the heart and let the sound of the music flow within him to the instrument. And he felt happiest that way. Riuke said that Claude sounded amazing, but in truth, he had a long way to go. “In fact, you reminded me on how people should play in the first place. Play from the heart and not just by the sheet music,” he said, “Now, I’m inspired! Hey Riuke, what do you say we do a duet right now?” he asked excitedly.
