[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] It wasn't a dark and stormy night. It should have been. However, that is the weather for you these days. Any man who babbled on aimlessly about the weather seemed to always cast the exact opposite forecast then what really did or does occur. In fact it was a warm and calm clouded night. The rays of moonlight glimmered down upon the surfaces of Tokyo. Bright lights flashed and flickered as well, making the night feel more alive and full of hustle. However, the night was more alive then people thought it was these days, minus the lights even. A feint grinding sound echoed near the outskirts of the city. The dark sky was now being illuminated enough to see a figure among the darkness. By the body frame it was easy to distinguish that it was a female for that matter. Dark colored fabric covered her legs, flaring out near her ankles. these jeans has large cut outs around her thigh area. On her hands were fingerless gloves in a dark color along with the cropped jacket she wore unzipped. There was a crimson colored tank-top that scooped down along her busty chest and a cross necklace decorating the area. A pair of goggles, which looked almost as if they belonged to a snowboarder, rested on the bridge of her nose, covering her unnaturally crimson colored eyes. The lens of the goggle were tinted orange and there were a few bandages wrapped around her neck and forearms. This woman was wearing a pair of crimson and black Air Treks. The grinding noise from earlier was caused from The Air Trek's causing friction against the cement that crafted this 'air trek park'. The friction grew stronger and stronger until flames emmited momentarily along the cement, following close behind her and dieing soon after. the warm glow from these temporary flames bounced off her skin in a rather flattering way. She was the Flame Queen. Her name was Reyna, but many who recognized her and her 'run' knew her as the current flame queen and the holder of the flame regalia. Currently she didn't belong to a team since the last one she was a part of broke up and scattered to god knows where. Reyna would have been lying if she said that she never thought about making a new team. After all she was out on her Air Treks daily and held the current flame queen status. Stopping suddenly by a crimson colored bag on the ground she unzipped it and drew out a bottle of water from inside of it. Slowly unscrewing the cap to the bottle , Reyna glanced from side to side. Usually around this time of night few people came out; however there was always that odd person now and then. Taking a swig of water which refreshed her like an oasis in the middle of the desert she adjusted her goggles so that they rested on the top of her head, pushing her long blonde hair back a bit. A light gust of wind gently tousled the strands of her hair.

-SYSTEM OF A DOWN | WAR?-

Spinning radials made of split segments of a circle revolved around the Flame Queen in the HUD of the man's helmet as he tracked her with his eyes. Next to these radials flashed up security footage of not just her from throughout the day but all the cameras he had hacked in the area, not to mention the file he had put together on her. He was smart, he had to be to keep his head. Literally.

A few tongues of flame sprouted from her Air Treks as she moved about the park. A moment later she walked towards the place where she had placed her red bag, extricating a bottle of water she drank from it. He flicked his fingers and her hair moved from over fifty feet away, she looked around for a second maybe expecting someone. Or just more people.

The man in question was hunkered down on a wall fifty feet away at an altitude that put him twenty feet above her head. Garbed in all black save his white scarf, his black Air-Treks shaped like a stealth jest would have gleamed darkly had there been any light where he was. An overhang created perfect darkness, which matched his shin-length black trenchcoat, baggy black pants and angular mask which encased his entire head.

Built into that Mask was one of the most powerful computers for the size, without weighing more than a pound, equipped with an operating system of his own design. Being Ex-T3, it came second nature to hard-code an operating system. As he sat there hunkered down on his haunches he was known as the "Wind Walker" or the Wind King. In his alternate persona, he was Karasu Ra Akatsuki, Arts Director at the local High School. Which, oddly enough was where the Flame Queen Reyna was also employed as the Nurse. He knew about her, she knew nothing of him. Would that status quo hold when he finally confronted this beauty?

A gust picked up a newspaper and it passed in front of Karasu, when it and the wind passed he was nowhere to be seen. He was now in the shadows of the park she stood in, hiding. A disembodied metallic and almost robotic voice played through the vents in his helmet, his real voice was more akin to a bass guitar mulled over gravel.

"You always ride alone Ms. Flame Queen? Or are you expecting someone?" He let the questions stand, making sure he stayed well hidden in the shadows making sure not to draw any undue attention.

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] The wind that blew against her, flipping her hair around, sent a chill down the center of her spine. This caused her body to temporarily tense up and shiver. She didn't really mind this however. her body was hot from the exercise, and ironically, she hated the heat in general despite dealing with flames due to her status. Little to say she was an odd character. Reyna shifted her weight as she heard the voice speak rather calmly to her. She stopped immediately in all movements to concentrate on the sound and its direction. Having a basic range of where a bouts the voice came from she turned her head to glance around the objects around her to see if the 'stranger' was out in the open. "So It appears that I have an audience?" She gave a brief chuckle as she brought the water bottle up to her lips, slowly tilting her head back to take another drink. Lowering the bottle soon after she started to screw the lid back on. "I wasn't waiting for anyone. More less I'm alone, well at least I was until you arrived... Who ever you are." She called out to the stranger from where she was in a rather amused tone. Gracefully gliding towards the bench that was just a few feet away she sat down and began to rub the calves of her legs, they were a bit stiff in her opinion, not to mention, lately she has been a bit sore all over. Quickly glancing around she called out to the person again. "Soo... What brings you here?" She asked in a more softer voice. She wasn't in a hurry to see this person. Simple conversation was enough for her. Besides, she always enjoyed a bit of mystery on who this 'secret admirer' (if you wana call it that) was, and mystery in general.

-SEETHER | REMEDY-

Changing his location every minute or so he found a suitable hiding place. The top of a streetlight directly above Reyna's head. She wouldn't be able to see him there. "To have an audience would require a few more people than just the one present. As to who I am, if you have the preset knowledge of the other kings and queens, it shouldn't take very long for you to deduce who I am Reyna."

The streetlight in front of her flickered momentarily, before the flicker there was nothing in the artificial light. When the light came back on, he was standing there, gloved hands on his knees as he crouched down into his comfortable hunkered pose. The light glinting off of the facets of his opaque helmet.

"I came, because I had heard rumors of a beautiful woman rolling the streets and parks of the area. So I traced you here, and I can see the rumors are well deserved." Bringing his hand to his helmet he pressed the two buttons to release the pneumatic locks on either side, which unlocked with a hiss. Extricating his head he tousled his hair momentarily to release his hat hair. "I guess it's not too fair if I know so much about you, but you don't even know my rank. I can't give you my real name, but most just call me Raven, Wind Walker, or simply by my official slash unofficial title of Wind King. Still in the process of being recognized by the Trophaeum. Though someone like me, the Gravity Children...heh."

On that last comment he held the helmet in one hand, scratched the back of his head with the other, and closed his eyes with a small smile of slight embarrassment.

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] "Well consider yourself a one man audience" She said with a slight smile on her face. Her eyes glanced from side to side at her surroundings and up above. the wind king. Reyna felt a light blush come to her face when he spoke to her about this 'rumour'. It was a bad habit; blushing easily that is. Her hand rose up to scratch the back of her head gently as her gaze strayed. "flatterer" she muttered as she pursed her lips together slightly. After a brief pause of silence she exhaled and turned her gaze to face this 'Raven'. "Well, 'Raven'. Why would you track some random woman for a small reason like that. Unless your a pervert." She said sarcastically in a way that could lighten up the mood. She was rather interested in this person to say the least, even though her gaze never met his face yet as she looked away rather shyly.

-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE | THIS FIRE BURNS-

Tch Karasu thought as she called him a pervert. Not but a moment ago, it had seemed like they we're on the same wavelength. It still did seem that way, because on some level she was right. He had heard of her and immediately connected the rumors with the description of the Flame Queen, and he'd instantly generated a crush on her when he first saw her with his own eyes in this environment. He'd seen her a few times at the school when he wasn't poring over a book or an instrument, and was taken by her beauty. This just sealed those emotions.

"Takes one to know one. Look at you, showing all that beautiful skin. And more cleavage than a lingerie model." He mumbled the beautiful part, because she was. The ample curves, the long flowing hair, the face, her eyes. If he was any more of a lascivious Italian like his ancestors in the Renaissance, he'd screw her on that park bench right there. But he'd prefer to take this woman to a decent restaurant and a movie first. But that might require that he reveal who he was to her. Time to go out on a limb.

"I'd like a chance to discuss some business, how about a date? I know a restaurant nearby we can hit that serves good Italian even this late at night. Or we can just go back to my apartment and I can cook for you. Your choice." He said all this as he stood and rolled towards her, stopping a few feet away with his arms crossed. His black spiky hair swayed slightly in a breeze, his dark eyes staring soulfully at her, his face expressionless.

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] Her gaze flickered to look upon the man in front of her. In an instant she hesitated. Blinking a few times she almost dropped her bottle of water. Tall, dark and handsome; usually when you met a person you only got one, or two of these. However this man had the whole package. Her lips pursed as he pointed out how she was baring a bit of skin. In response she crossed her legs quickly and one of her hands pulled up her shirt a bit. Once again her face was red with a blush. ”Ah! N-no its just I get hot out here while using my A-T’s.” She argued back nervously. Reyna pressed her lips together as her gaze turned away once more. A serious of thoughts began to spread through her mind. Did she look that bad? Was she showing to much skin? Did she appear slutty to this man? She must have been making a great first impression. Reyna had lost herself within her very own thoughts as he spoke. Blinking a few times quickly she almost shook her head. ”I’m sorry wahhh?” She quickly spoke. She wasn’t sure if she was hearing things or not. Did he just ask her on a date? Reyna looked blankly at this man. His face seemed emotionless. Mysterious... Her brows furrowed a bit as she almost stared at him. A feint smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she looked at him in a more softer way. I think I'm more comfortable not heading to an apartment. You don't have to bother spending anything on me. If you want to talk about this... Buisness, then how about a simple stroll; Wind King. Afterall, its quite peacefull here not to mention I don't think im really dressed for a italian resurant, heh.." She said almost shyly. Lifting herself off of the bench she rolled forwards towards him. Her hands were held behind her back as she mad a semi circle around him. Reaching out she took a hold of his hand and pulled her along with him for a little bit; her face still flushed of course. "Lets go." She said softly with a smile. Usually she wasn't so forwards with people at tiems, but then again she felt like he wasn't someone who was going to take advantage of her.

-DEUS EX | ASHES TO ASHES-

He watched her cover herself hurriedly, as if she was embarrassed of her body. Then she crossed her legs and folded her eyes. A closed posture generally showing that what he had surmised was correct and that she didn't want to talk about it. But he suddenly felt the need to reassure her. "No no. I didn't mean to offend." He said waving his hands in front of him like the Italian he was. "I only meant that you might show more skin for a reason but you obviously do not. Though, I'm not one to complain if you do. Like I said, I find you rather pretty." He said this all with a straight face.

Being taken by the hand as she rolled around him he allowed himself to be led on to the leisurely stroll she had spoken of. They were headed the same direction as the Italian Restaurant, but he didn't say anything on the subject. Instead he decided that this was a great way to get the business out of the way so that they could both enjoy the Food and each other's company. Hopefully.

"Alright, since this is how you would like to do this," He said as he intertwined his fingers with hers. "To business. I know you're not in a Team, neither am I. I'm pretty sure you can figure out what I'm getting at. Two Kings, err...a King and a Queen making a team together? Especially what we are the Kings or Queens of, we compliment each other's road. My Wind enhances your Flames and your Flames give rise to my Winds. We would make...a formidable couple."

Yeah, he was being very forward at this point. If she hadn't picked up that he wanted a date, maybe she'd get it now. Still on course.

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] Reyna felt a feint smile appear on her lips again. Yes she was smiling at the fact this tall dark and handsome man called her pretty. Like any girl, she liked hearing that now and then. This man sure was a flatterer. However she was playing along with his 'flirting', and seemed to be doing the same in . As soon as he brought up the fact that she currently wasn't on a team Reyna knew where the conversation was headed. It took her a moment to realize how his fingers intertwined with her own due to the fact that her thoughts were focused on this 'business'. "I team huh.." Her voice trailed off as her grip upon his hand loosened a bit. In reality, it has been a long time since she was on a team. In fact she wasn't sure what to do with herself on a team. It was best if they did sit down and talk about the details. Momentarily Reyna tilted her head up towards the sky as she felt a stronger and colder gust of wind brush up against her back. Darker clouds were rolling in and Reyna remembered that she thought she heard a low rumble of thunder earlier during her run. If there was one thing that she didn't like it was the loud cracks of thunder; even now it still scares her. That and bugs... Rolling up a bit closer to the Wind King she leaned a bit closer to him. Some could say that she invaded his 'personal bubble'. "Lets have a deal. If you can catch me I'll join you and we'll go where you want to tonight." She declared, giving a simple wink right after as her grip left his own while she rolled back a little ways from him.

-NICKELBACK | BURN IT TO THE GROUND-

He smiled slightly at her proposition, catch her and he got what he wanted. Which was an innocent night of wining and dining. Maybe more if she felt so inclined, but he wasn't pushing the issue. She took a small distance from him, in a flash he closed the distance, too fast for her to track.

A hand under her chin he replaced his helmet on his own head. "I accept," Came his voice through the ventilation system of the helmet. "I refuse to throw the race simply because you're a woman. Its something of a matter of integrity. We'll say to that tower over there." Pointing to a water tower he knew stood mere paces from the restaurant. "But as you are a woman, I'll give you a head-start. We'll say..."

Four digits with a colon flashed onto the outside OLED display of the helmet. 00:10...00:09...00:08...

Run rabbit run...I will catch you.

[Reyna]

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] Reyna's red eyes narrowed a bit. "just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I need to be taken lightly... Even if you are just being a gentleman. Thanks for the head start, but to even things out..." her voice trailed off as her image fade and her voice was an echo among the sky. "I might give you a kiss if you can manage to catch me." she giggled as a stream of flames lit up and twirled around in the sky at a rapid Pace almost as if a Dragon of flame was twisting in the sky behind her. "so what will be wind king? Motivated now?" she giggled as she launched ahead at an incredible speed that was impossible to keep up with the naked eye almost. To Reyna, this was a perfect opportunity to see what her possible future partner was capable of, speed wise that was.

-BLACK LABEL SOCIETY | IN THIS RIVER-

00:03...00:02...00:01...His muscles tensed and a new wind blew. 00:00 blinked on his visor. The wind whipped around him like a hurricane, and then he launched, a reverse funnel cloud in his wake. Conforming the air around him into a streamlined bullet he cut through the air without the slightest inclination of that force known as friction.

At this point, if he went any faster he would need protective body gear for breaking the sound barrier. Catching sight of her fire trail he flipped over and lounged inside his cocoon of air. Looking over at her as he passed between buildings he waved momentarily before kicking off a few buildings and gaining the definite advance by increasing the air density in front of Reyna while decreasing it in front of himself. Cheating? Maybe. But he was only using his talents, and if he let his power run rampant every building in the area would need new windows and extensive repair work.

Arriving at the tower he sat on the rail and waited for her.

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] "Impressive" She thought as she felt the density of the air in front of her inscrease, making it harder against her body. With that a smile crept on her face. She wasn't exactly dead set on winning this bet. But it was rather amusing. Certainly since she was an extremely fast rider on top of it all. Well would you look at that..." her amused voice echoed out a bit in the air around her. In a split second she was visible on the rail that the Wind King sat on, her body was in a more crouch like position with her feet on the rail along with one of her hands for extra balance. "Kudos" she said with a smile. Yes she was really starting to like this guy. Straitening up she looked down at the Wind king and pressed her lips tightly together. "So to the restaurant I take it partner?" she asked him, wondering if he heard or even took interest in that last bit that she offered him before the race.

-ALL THAT REMAINS | ERASE-

Looking over at her beautiful and shapely body he pressed the buttons on his helmet to unlock the pneumatic mechanism. Extricating his head without moving it his face came into view, his eyes locked on hers. Raising a gloved hand he brought it to the side of her face, caressing the skin ever so gently. A moment later he leaned in, and kissed her on the cheek.

In one swift motion he scooped her up in his arms and began to walk down through the air to the restaurant below them as if descending a staircase of air. "We don't need to go anywhere, we're already there Milady partner. And I guess I should give you my real name, though in some regard I already have. It's Karasu Ra Akatsuki."

One of two names... He thought. One for work and one for play. Only one was real, and it was the one he'd just given her.

Stepping onto the stone walkway leading to Viletas, the restaurants italian facade was completely real. The owner had had an authentic Italian Architect flown in to build the facility. It was the only authentic Italian ristorante within a hundred miles, and he knew the owner and all his staff personally. Before he'd even made it to the door with the beautiful girl in his arms they were flung open, Karasu placed Reyne down on her feet as the obviously Italian man walked briskly forwards with his arms outstretched.

"Signore Raven!" The rather large man called as he wrapped Karasu in a bear hug. All Karasu could manage was patting the man on the back. Once he released Karasu he held him at arms length and spoke again. "Come siete a te?" Karasu shrugged "Bene. Frankie, this is my friend Reyna. We were hoping you had a table available."

The Italian laughed heartily. "Messere, we are open for another few hours and the place is still full. But for you, I always have a table." Taking Reyna's hand he kissed it. "Nousatsu." He said in the local tongue. Karasu's eyebrow jacked up, "Your Japanese has gotten better Frank." The Italian shrugged with his whole body as he began to lead them into the restaurant and then into a side room off the loud main room. They turned a corner the noise cut off, and a table for two sat ready complete with it's own waiter. Waving her towards a chair Karasu made ready to push in her chair.

[atrb=background,http://i54.tinypic.com/bg49bd.jpg] With her eyes flickering to meet the Wind king Reyna didn't lean away or forwards for that matter when his hand come upon the side of her face. She was simply still like a doll. Her eyes looked up at him as he leaned in to give her a simple peck on the cheek. A brief smirk came across her lips which was accompanied with a rose hued blush on her cheeks. Before she knew it she was scooped up into his arms like a princess. Reyna's eyes widened and her lips parted in surprise. "Wah!?" She squeaked out as she was carried away like a prize. "I-I'm capable of walking! " She said with a red face and pursed lips. There was almost a look of embarrassment on her face as she was never carried like this before. With her voice trailing off as she looked ahead of her at the amazing view in front of her; Reyna clenched onto the fabric of his clothing. She wasn't scared of falling, yet there was something about this that made her feel uneasy. With a low rumble of thunder echoing throughout the sky Reyna's grip upon Karasu increased. There was a moment of silence before Reyna parted her rosey lips to simply say "Reyna Rin..." to Karasu in a quick introduction. However he probably knew her name already. Her gaze then drifted away to the restraint before them. She felt a bit embarrassed due to their 'grand entrance' to the place. She did like attention, but there was a limit to it. Being let down on the ground Reyna somewhat shyed away from Karasu as the bigger Italian man came to give him one hell of a hug. There was something about the way that the Italian greeted him that made her feel like Karasu was a rather good guy. She continued to watch the two in silence, however the Italian came to give her a kiss on her hand. She returned him a grateful smile. Following closely behind Karasu she gazed all around the restaurant, amazed as to how nice it was and how easily Karasu and herself got in. Reyna took a seat where Karasu waved her to. "You don't have to be such a gentleman..." She said with a blush. In reality she wasn't exactly use to such gentlemen. However she would be lieing if she said that she wasn't flattered. Clearing her throat she looked directly at Karasu with her crimson colored eyes. "So... What would you like to discuss first?" She asked in a soft toned voice; trying to make some conversation.
