Noriko's Home

A mansion in the middle of a peaceful forest to the north of the Village.

See's a mansion and looks at it curiously than shrugs and continues to walk

-I gaze through my window, my eyes clouded by my thoughts. I appear to be distant but that wasn't the case. Most of the time, I was planning my next move.-

-A movement caught my attention and I focused on it. I noticed a girl with long black hair, looking at my mansion, shrugging, and then walking away. I wonder who that was,-

I continued to walk yet I felt a gaze I stopped and turned yet my eyes couldn't seem to focus on the fact I was in thought

-I see the girl stop and I recognize her from eariler. That's Reyna! I leap down from the second floor and land gracefully-

"Hey, Reyna!" I call as I wave.

" hmm?" I say then relize it's noriko. I fix my red eyes on noriko " hi noriko." I greet with a smile and slightly bow

-My neck heats up at the sight of her but I push it back and walk up to her my eyes on hers.-

"What are you doing way out here?" I ask.

" I was merely takings walk." I replied as I clutched on my sketchbook in which I held as I felt shivers down my spine yet I felt my cheeks heat up

-I nod.-

"Sounds good. Mind if I accompany you?" I ask.

" sure." I replies as i smiled

-I smile and gesture for her to take the lead.-

I walk down the path leading to the forest in which I feel so calmed and relaxed as I walked I held my sketchbook to my chest as I clutched onto it.

-I followed behind her, a slight gap was inbetween our bodies. My eyes took in all of the forest and I marveled in it's beauty.-

"No matter how many times I come through here, the forest always has the same affect on me. . ." I whispered.

I looked around fascinated by the remarkable beauty of forest than I smile as I see my favorite tree the cherry blossom tree in which it's petals carry a faint sweet scent and is blooming with magnificent colors

-A young sparrow grabs my attention. It lays on the ground, its left wing obviously broken. I walk ahead and crouch beside it before do a few handsigns and whispering under my breath. Pressing my hands against the bird's injured wing, I mend the injuries.-

"There you go," I say as I step back from the sparrow.

-The young bird puffs its chest and tenderly lifts its wing. Finding that it has been healed, the sparrow takes off, its brown body seen for a few moments before it flew into the forest.-

" wow nice." says noticing noriko tend to a injured sparrow I smile than sit down against a tree as I sketch a blue jay as it perched on a branch of the cherry bloosom tree I began to sketch

"Uh, thanks," I say as I sit down a few feet away from her.

I stopped sketching as I looked at the forest it's calming feeling overwhelmed me as I close my eyes and listened to the bird's songs while the breeze blew

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

I open my eyes and looked at him " yes it's quite lovely and calming." says as I continue to sketch the beauty of such a relaxing soothing place

-I sighed deeply and gazed into the sky.-

I close my sketch book as I lean against the tree

-I glanced quickly at Reyna.-

"Enjoying yourself?" I asked, a curiousity in my voice.

" yes." replies as I glance at noriko with a smile

-I nod and return my attention back to the sky. My eyes close.-

"That's good."
