Night sky reflection You couldn't begin to count the number of stars in the sky that night. There shone millions, maybe even billions. Such a site to see. When your house was the only one for miles, and when there was no light to corrupt your view of the endless night time scenery painted on the sky. When that happened, it was miraculous. It was on of those events that made you really wonder. Wonder about life and how everything was put everything just the way it was. On one of these rare nights when everything was right, all you could do was wonder, and simply marvel over such things. And Aidoku wondered. He wondered why he had the gift that he did, why he had been sent here and not the many other gifted houses in this country, he wondered why he never heard from his family but only a few times a year. But most of all, he wondered why he was sitting on the roof of Matataku Kaisou and gazing up at the sky, wondering. "I know exactly what you're feeling." The soft voice of his friend broke through his pondering barrier. Slowly he could feel himself being pulled back into realty, it's coloring once more decorating him, "And I know exactly what you're thinking." Came Aidoku's clever reply. What had surprised him the most was that Ryuusei was thinking very similar things. Very similar indeed. And for that, Aidoku realized that friends, even through similarities, dissimilarities, war, peace, laughter or tears, should never be taken for granted, because real friends would always be there.

Ena was off a little ways, under a tree, looking up at it whe could see the leaves dancing in the breeze, shifting and through small patches, she could see the sky, she wondered why they called her gifted, she loved to be able to morph, but she sometimes grew lonely being so far away from her home, she had already been there a month and still didn't really know anyone, "Why was it me?" she asked the sky, she didn't really expect an answer. She sighed and looked at her hands, she knew she needed to learn to control her transformations, she was begining to do it again.

The more serious atmosphere was now being replaced by a light one as Ryuusei turned to Aidoku. He wasn't smiling, he wasn't grinning, he wasn't frowning. But something in his in glowing blue eyes seemed to make everything else burn away. He had his way of doing that, and even though he never admitted to it, Aidoku was sure he could stare into your soul that way, and that's was how he was able to read every emotion that was printed in your heart. No one had been able to resist it and hide your feelings from him, not even Aidoku, who had been his friends for three days. Literally.
Today was the day they first met. At first, Aidoku didn't think much about it. They were just two young teenagers back then, and hadn't even started a friendship. Besides, it was more of a female thing to be obsessing over important dates dealing with relationships. But somehow the both of them remembered this one. It was strange.
Aidoku didn't have to worry about Ryuusei prying into his heart. Ryuusei only did that to humor himself, and maybe even scare other people, but he knew when he should and shouldn't do it. And the same thing applied to Aidoku. Although it was hard when millions of thoughts were floating around, but he had been able to close his mind to them.
Right now he was faintly picking up the thoughts of someone around them. He closed his eyes and tried to block it out. The moment right now was too important. He could worry himself those thoughts some other time. Luckily Ryuusei saved him from that,
"What am I thinking then?"

Ena's hands were trembling as she tried hard to suppress the morphing, she heard a conversation vauguely, her ears were extreamly sensitive, she stood up on her wobbly legs, not wobbly from the transformation, no, wobbly because she was nervous, she didn't want everyone to know why she was there, she was still very insecure, she decided to go back to her room, when she got closer to the building she saw two figures on the roof, she wondered who they were.

"You're thinking about the stars," Aidoku started, looking up at the shining masses. Unlike Ryuusei, he could use his powers without staring into one's soul. He continued on after but a few breif seconds of gazing idly at the sky, "You're wondering why they're there. And then you wonder about everything. About your family, about this place, about the people here. You're just...wondering why."
"Are you reading me, or are you reading yourself?" Ryuusei pressed, his voice, nor his gaze, faltering at all. He kept his eyes locked on Aidoku, and Aidoku had the feeling he was being read. So be it. Aidoku didn't have anything to hide, and those with nothing to hide had nothing to worry about.
Aidoku managed a small laugh, "Both." And then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the girl had moved, and was now heading towards the house. He was curios as to what she was doing out here all alone. He had seen her a couple times before, but he hadn't thought much of her. Maybe he belittled her a little too much.

Ena felt she was being watched and stopped, she looked up and squinted to try to get a better view of the two firgures, she knew they looked familliar, she didn't actually know them, she'd passed them in the hall a few times, maybe, that's about it, she opened her mouth as if to say something, then shut it after a moment's thought, she smiled slightly to show recognition, hoping they didn't notice her ears had already become inhuman.(Still deciding what she turns into, lol)

The two looked down at Ena. On any normal circumstances they wouldn't have been able to make out her smile, but with the millions of stars lighting the night, it was easy to read. Also, with the help of those stars, Ryuusei and his best friend could faintly see there was something about her wasn't quite right. Ryuusei looked at Aidoku and at the same time Aidoku looked at Ryuusei. They were both curious now.
Looking back, they gave her their own simple sign of recognition by waving. Then Aidoku jumped down from the roof, landing a foot or two away from Ena. Ryuusei soon followed.

Ena jumped slightly because she had grown nervous when Aidoku jumped, thinking he might accidentally land on her, she realized then they must have noticed something was amiss, sh looked down a bit embarassed by the predicament.({writer's blockage o.o})

Ryuusei could faintly pick up the traces of embarrassment that were running through this girl. And if he dug a little deeper, he might find out something important. But Aidoku was always the one to find out secrets, mostly because he had the gift for it. Emotions could tell a lot about a person, but they were vague as well. Looking in to Ena's eyes, he gave it a try.
Aidoku was always searching. He felt a little bad knowing that the two of them were trying to pry into her her secrets and she couldn't do anything about it, but if she didn't know, then it wouldn't matter. So, to suppress all suspicions she had, Aidoku engaged in small talk,
"Nice night, isn't it?"

Ena looked up, "Hmm? oh, yea, it's beautiful out, almost like a painting" she shifted uncomfortably under the gaze of the two, sh didn't think they were trying to make her nervous or anything, she just wasn't very fond of attention. "Do you come out here often?" she asked, trying to adjust to the situation.

"We dont, but this was a special occasion, right?" Aidoku replied lightly. And he was telling the truth. He wasn't much for star gazing either, but Ryuusei was the one that had convinced his friend to come. And Aidoku was glad that he did. After seeing something like this, it made everything worth the while. But there was other things to be concerned about, like this girl and her powers. Aidoku had guessed it was some sort genetic thing, the fact that part of her wasn't human, but it was up to Ryuusei to get the answer.
"Enjoying yourself?" Ryuusei asked her in a light voice, which was his normal tone after all. All he needed was something to get her thinking, something to provoke thoughts in her, something to lead him to her gift. And once she looked at him, he would be given a chance to read her.

"Oh, I see." she turned to the other boy, "Yea, I like it out here, it helps me think." she thought about it for a minute, "oh, I forgot, my name's Ena, by the way"

And then Ryuusei had it. Her emotions were obvious even to those who couldn't read them, so when Ryuusei did try to read them, it only took seconds before he got the answer he wanted. Now it was his turn to help Aidoku out, since Aidoku helped him out, "Im Ryuusei. And my friend is Aidoku." He answered, not giving Aidoku a chance to answer for himself. Throwing on a concerned look, he asked, "Is everything okay?"
