Something about that guy... [Bilby]

[Iris|Kairi]

She laughed with him, unaware that it was feigned in the least. She opened her icey blue eyes and peered back at him, an odd sort of happy-sadness in her eyes. It felt like the shadow of old times. Painful and exciting both. Opposite emotions played around in her mind, but she resolved to be truly happy for this moment, even if it ended up fleeting. "It was wonderful for me!" she chuckled, elevating her head a little so she could see him more upright.

"First time, hm? I figured you did this kind of thing all the time." the ninja smiled softly, shifting her legs a little. "Good for you too?"

[Heroic Bilby]

"A blast," the Nobody lied honestly. He couldn't have a blast but he was deluded enough to believe he could. "I have plenty of experiences, love. But nobody usually comes along to make an adventure out of it."

Chaosin flipped to his feet and started walking away towards the end of the branch. He flipped his left hand up in a waving motion without looking back as his scarf trailed behind him.

"We should do it again sometime. Not the same thing, of course."

[Iris|Kairi]

Leaving so soon again...Her reprieve was over she suppose. Shyne knew it couldn't continue on and distract her from the facts of life forever, but she still had hoped. Seeing his scarf, she unconsciously reached up to tug on the red one she possessed, as if to check and make sure it was undamaged, though damp. A sad smile took over her lips.

"Yeah. Again sometime. I suppose I'll just find you again, or vice versa," she nodded, standing as well. Where was she going? Who knew...

"To use the hand of justice to protect people everywhere from the claws of the unjust! It crouches like a tiger, ready to strike those innocents who are deemed heroless! But no more! Onward Shyne, onward! There's always someone to swoop in and rescue from the palm of evil!"

*sigh*

"Be careful, Sparky.."

[Heroic Bilby]

"Ha! No chance of that, love!" Desura's Nobody answered with a deep laugh as he walked away, reaching his right hand up to scuff through his shiny silver hair as he did so. Chaosin turned around and flashed a bright grin at the girl, letting the sunlight visible through the few cracks in the tree canopy above and beyond illuminate his silhouette. When his scarf whipped about and fell back into place as he did so and his new found messy hairstyle, the shadow painted a very familliar if not perfectly accurate image.

"Life's a lot more fun when you're not careful!"

With that the empty shell dived over the edge of the branch and was gone. Even if she looked over the side of the tree's thick limb or listened for a splash from below no signals that Sparky had gone that way at all would remain.

[Iris|Kairi]

Shyne shook her head worriedly at him, though she was smiling. He was an amusing fellow. Very lively..if only she knew how ironic that was on so many levels. She'd looked away as he started to walk off, but of course chose to look up at the precise moment nothing but the silhouette of him was in view, in all of it's hauntingly ghostly familiarity. Her eyes flew wide and her mouth agape to suck in a sharp, completely shell-shocked gasp.

And for that moment, her brain was completely thrown off track and fooled, along with her heart. It jumped into her through and started to beat like mad once she was to her feet and stepping toward him. "Eldin Desura?!" she asked. It was impossible. It was like he'd been there just now...it was a perfect silhouette of her lost partner. I have your scarf...Do you want it back?

Now it made sense why there was something about this guy that made her think about him.

Before she could react further, he'd leapt out of sight completely, as if he'd just vanished into thin air. Her heart may have stopped. Once jumping he looked like Sparky again, but still. Now he seemed like a ghost to her. Something maybe her mind made up to fill the gap? Was her head playing tricks on her? She rushed to the edge of the branch only to see not a sign of him, not a sound either. She may have not been able to see him even if he had been there for the salty liquid that had filled her eyes and gushed down her cheeks.

[Heroic Bilby]

"Oh, I almost forgot."

The voice came from behind Shyne. It certainly shouldn't have. She was a ninja. Nobody could sneak up on her... at least not that close. Yet sure enough, it was practically in her ear. She might have turned to look if a familliar hand hadn't taken a hold of her shoulder to do that anyway.

She may have also tried to resist or something when a pair of lips touched her own, but there wasn't much she could do about that either. Not because she was forced... she simply couldn't move. It was like she was paralyzed, and the warm almost electric-like feeling running through her may have indicated that wasn't far from the truth.

"Heroes like to get rewards of gratitude from their rescuees right?" Sparky's innocently smiling face asked her after he had broken away and the feeling rushing through her ended, returning the use of her motor skills... though not quite before he could finish with "See you around, love. Stay alive eh?"

Eldin Desura's heart-devoid container rushed past the ninja just as she would find herself able to move again, but turning around to look would yield the same results as his last exit. The "ghost" was gone again, yet something deep inside of her felt... different now.

Different in a very familliar way.

[Iris|Kairi]

Even when her motor skills were returned, she didn't make one move. Not a muscle. Shyne just stood there, staring off into space now. The sharp question about how he'd snuck up behind her no longer seemed or felt important. Sure, his lips had also surprised her, maybe even more than his sudden reappearance without her sensing him, but what rang most prominent in her mind was the sensation. The warm electricity...that seemed to revive something very familiar down in her soul. That difference she'd felt once before was back. It was so very familiar...and so welcomed. Missed, even. It comforted her in a strange way, and she knew more or less what it was. It made no sense whatsoever, but nothing this whole day had.

How could someone that is not Eldin Desura cause that feeling deep inside? Once more the ghost seemed like her lost friend again. She knew Sparky wasn't, but there was something that linked them. There had to be. There was no way she could've gained a powers in much of the same way she had before if there was no link.

She had to admit that the feeling was a little different, but the similar outweighed the small difference. Yet..it did remind her of the truth that still loomed over her head like a raincloud, and once more she was in tears. However, she was not nearly so animated with her reaction this time. No, this time her tears came in silence as she stood there, sliding down her cheeks to drop off of her chin and to the bark of the limb, but a small smile and an odd little giggle/sob followed soon after as she finally reached up to wipe her eyes.

Grieving and rejoicing at the same time was a very intense thing to feel.
