The night was peaceful, not a small sound disturb the dark ocean of stars above the trees of other tokoro. The temperature was humid, yet it wasn't hot, a cool breeze came every now and again so the heat wouldn't get to the tokoro. However, there was one that was already bothered by everything around her. Every movement made her want to lash out and scream.
The young winged tokoro name was Hishou, daughter of Hinoiri and Banir, she also have 2 other sisters and a brother. Of course, her family never paid much attention to her but her father, and found him rather annoying. Her whole family was like a family from the 60's or 70's and always believed in peace and bright colors. Not that she didn't like peace, nor bright colors, even though she tend to be more attracted to darker colors. It was just the attitude that trough her off and wanted to leave this cage her family set upon her.

The tree tops above him swayed gently with the cooling summer breeze, obscuring the stars as turquoise eyes stared at the sky. The bright eyes glittered in the scant moonlight, offering a eerie glow into the night. Of course, his eyes had nothing on his fur. Black and white fur allowed him to blend into the shadows; or they would, if not for the rainbow hued markings on his legs, paws, and tail and the red streak in his thick mane. Rokku sighed, rolling over to stand up from his comfortable spot on the ground. This night he was restless, and somehow he accredited that to the strange feeling of expectation in his belly.
His tail swished behind him as he began to walk, his brightly patterned paws padding over the ground with little to no sound. His wings folded to his back as he pushed through underbrush. His mind went back to his family; those of which he couldn't remember. He winced slightly as a stray thorn sliced his arm, his turquoise eyes darkened in pain for just a moment before he shook it off to continue his walk.

The young female heard a small sound from under her. This time it wasn't her head that was making the noise. Ignoring her stomach's growling, she looked down and saw something that had brightly colored legs and tail, with a streak of red. Hishou started at this figure a bit longer to figure out that it was a tokoro, just a black one with a few splashes of white at some places. And noticing that he had wings and a mane, which she hasn't seen many like that before, not this close. Her curiosity got the better of herself and flew down, only that she didn't know how to stop, she fell right in front of the male and shook her head, rubbing it softly, regretting of flying down in the first place.

It took him a minute to realize that a tokoro was blocking his path. It took him another minute to realize she was a female, and a pretty one at that. And another minute to stop staring at her. Feeling a bit hesitant, he stepped closer to her. "Are you all right, Miss?" He asked softly, looking over her quickly for any injuries. Then his eyes landed on her wings. So she was a kepak too? Only, he was a hybrid. He shook that off, looking back to her. He did, however, notice the way her wings were still angled, all wrong for landing. "I take it you haven't gotten the hang of landing yet?" Yeah, he should be hit for that. He wouldn't blame her if she popped him, either.

Hishou looked up at the male and felt rather embarrassed. How could she do that? She knew she couldn't land yet, so why even try? She tried to wiggle her wings to see if they where injured, one wiggled the other was stiff and a small 'ouch' came from the female. "I think I bent my wing. My father is going to kill me for this." She said softly once she touched and winced at the pain. "No.. My father never taught me. Taught everyone BUT me.." A another very low mumble came after the sentence, "My father nor mother really liked me. I guess they hated to have me." Hoping that the male didn't hear her.

Her last mumble had successfully drifted past him, as he had hurried over to inspect her injured wing. A few 'hmm's and 'ahh's came from him as he focused. It didn't look to be broken, so it was probably sprained or the joint connecting it to her shoulder had be jammed or knocked out of place. Much to his dismay, all of the above could lead to a broken wing if she didn't get help for it, fast. He frowned, the meaning of her words finally sinking in. "But a father is always supposed to teach his kids everything he can," he said, backing up to look her in the eye. His brow furrowed and his nose scrutched up as he mulled over that bit over information. Then manners hit him, right in the back of his head like a scolding mother would. "Oh! Forgive me, my name is Rokku," he bowed, sweeping a paw under his chest for a more dramatic and gentlemanly effect.

"Not my father.. " She said soflty while looking away. "The name's Hishou.. For some reason, My mom thought it reminded her about.." She paused for a moment and thought. "About something, I totally forgotten since it was a long time ago." She added while looking at him. Tugging his mane softly. "Its real" A really low mumble came out her mouth. "So, Rokku, what about my wing? Is it broken? Sprang? I need to know if my father sees me with a bandage around my wing. He hates when something strange happens to them." She said softly while looking down at her paws.

Well, wasn't that just nice? His first encounter with a female and she tugged at his mane. He laughed, unable to stop himself. He knew he probably looked rather insane, but that was all right for now; he could explain later. "Well, it could be one of three things; the joint could be jammed, it could be out of place, or it could be sprained," he said somberly, all business once again; however, there was still a shimmer of his previous laughter in his bright eyes as he gazed back at her. He smiled, adding to that little glimmer, as he spoke again, "But, we'll have you fixed up in no time. And you won't even have to wear a bandage!" He chuckled, tilting her chin up with his tail gently, "How's that sound? No bandage means no mad dad if I'm hearing correctly."

Blushing wildly as her chin was tilted up at the male. Not only that his laugh scared her to death but that red highlight was bothering her. "Y-Yeah.. Sounds good to me. I think my father would like you.. Have the same strange laugh..." She paused " It always creped me out and I run out the den." She giggles a bit when she remember the good times that she had, even thought there were few. "So how are you going to fix it, Rokku?" She asked while tugging on the red part of the mane, for some reason, it got addicting, but tugged softly, or he'll start hating her too.

Rokku laughed softly, his tail leaving her chin to curl around his paws. "If it's out of socket, I'll have to put it back in. If it's jammed, you'll have to get it to move, even if it hurts. If it's sprained, well, we'll have to take both of the afore mentioned actions," he said, leaning his head closer by just a bit so she could play with his red streak. It was kind of nice, having someone playing with his mane. It eased his mind and calmed him considerably, for some unknown reason. Ah, no matter, he had business to attend to. He lifted his head, unaware of exactly how close he'd gotten, until his nose was pressed against hers, bringing them eye to eye. Heat rushed to his face, flooding his cheeks, and embarrassment immobilized him. So, there he sat, with his nose pressed to hers, his cheeks flaming, and his turquoise eyes boring into her.

Hishou blinked at him. "All of those sound rather painful.. I rather just keep it jammed, out of the socket, or Sprained.. Then again.. No flying for me and my father would kill me. Gosh.. Decisions Decisions.." She said softly, forgetting that she was tugging on Rokku's red streak. Now that she noticed he was nose to nose with her, the only thing she could do was giggle. "Your nose is rather big, but at the same time it looks good to eat.." She said as she remembered that her stomach was growling. "May I eat your nose until I can find food?" She said while giggling, This was the first time she laughed in a long while, or first time she laughed in her whole life.

The restraints of embarrassment relinquished him when she giggled. Rokku cracked a smile as he faked a rather dramatic gasp, "But if you eat my nose, then how will I find food for us!" Chuckling he stood up and gently nudged her shoulder, edging her toward the underbrush he'd come from. "Come on, Miss 'Rokku-has-a-big-nose', I saw a mango tree a few yards backward," he said, still smiling as his stomach rumbled for the first time. Oh, he knew he shouldn't have skipped breakfast this morning. Well, that act of stupidity wouldn't be forgotten again. The moral there, children, always eat your breakfast or risk looking like a fool in front of someone you like.

"Aww.. But I want to see if your nose is good or not~ The bigger the fruit, the juicier it is on the inside I always say." She said as she gets up and thinks for a moment. "I think I shouldn't walk on my shoulder with the broken wing right, Rokku? Seems like you know more about this than me." She said as she stares at his big nose. Right before her eyes the nose started to change into a rather huge grape, then a grapefruit. She twitched and bit softly on his nose. "...It doesn't taste like a fruit... It taste like chicken.. Which is also good.." She said as she stop biting on his nose.

Rokku blinked as she bit his nose, then chuckled at her words. "I'm glad I taste good, then," he said, shaking his head and laughing again. Hm, she was right about the shoulder... "Right, so, uhm... You sta-- No, that won't work. How about! No, that won't either. What if-- Crud," he silenced, trying to think of a solution. "Got it," he cheered, spreading his wings out to the side of his body, "climb on, I'll carry you. Then you won't have to walk, and no one gets left alone!" He grinned, his tail swaying happily at his spur-of-the-moment-esque idea.

Hishou looked upon his back and tilted her head. "Sure I won't be to heavy? Then again.. I am light as a feather.." She said softly. Climbing on his back and laughing, "I haven't head a joy ride every since I was a cub! So this should be fun for me." She exclaimed while looking up at something. "I see rain clouds...", She said as she felt a drop fall on her nose, sneezing right after it, "We better hurry or We'll be wet." Her tone soften as she clung onto Rokku so she doesn't fall off.
