A large garden that has many forms of flowers and trees, some of which should not be able to thrive in this area. The flowers are planted in such a way that the garden is always in bloom. Among the plants are also many decorative statues and fountains.

Ivan sat silently on a bench in the garden. His long dark purple hair blew out of his face thanks to the flower scented wind. A small portable amp that ran off of batteries was attached to Van's hip on a black belt that was adorn with skulls. The pants he wore had holes in the knees that were from common wear and tear. In his gloved hands was a flat black Les Paul with a design on the body of skulls that formed out of a white and grey smoke. The right sleeve of his denim jacket was pulled up slightly to avoid the fabric from getting in the way of the strings. His black finger nails could just be seen due to the silver strings on the guitar. A small blues riff could be heard softly emanating from the little amp that was soon carried on the wind as the fair skinned young man's hair.

Having freshly eaten in the Cafeteria, it was no wonder Imiko was so energetic. She went bowling in to the garden, tripping and falling over her own feet. She went rolling into a statue. Picking herself up as if nothing had happened, she looked up to see a darkening sky. It was beautiful to behold- the sky was alternately a rosey orange and a light indigo beriddled by darker than usual blue clouds.
She stood there, then reached her arms towards the heaven. This sky seemed so perfect, she almost wanted to die with it the last thing she saw. She felt perfectly at peace. She got hit by energy and began to run in mini-circles, stopping at random flowers here and there, waiting for Vashiel to catch up.

As Vashiel walked out into the garden area he felt himself get hit with a wave of energy. The sun was going down and he knew that meant that he could access more of his powers. It also meant that he would not be in his tired stupor that was caused by too much time in the sun.
"Ah I guess it is time for you to burn of all that food now? Though tell me what does it say about me that I am actually getting used to being around you? Nothing good I suppose."

Imiko giggled at Vashiel's words. Spinning around and holding up a finger for in his face, she said, "It means you've made a friend, you silly!" She jumped up to hug her new friend, then let go and starting zooming around. "It's so nice in here! The smell, the air, the sky!" She looked up again and jumped a few times, as if that would get her up there. "It's all just... just.. INVIGORATING!" The last word was a shout bordering on a scream, and she fell over as she lost her balance... and tumbled straight into a rosebush- with thorns. Pricked in her bare arms and face, she gingerly tried to get out, but every movement yielded pain.
"Ow..." This was followed by her eyes giving a miserable plea to help her get the hell off that bush.

A friend? With her? Vashiel thought it over and he found no other reason for it. She had actually become his friend despite him acting like he always did, something that usually kept people away. His thoughts were interrupted when he saw her fall into a rose bush and found that she was stuck. he rushed over to her, the first time in his life a look of concern on his face for someone else's sake.
"Are you okay? Don't move I will get you out of there, the time of day will make this much easier."
Vashiel then concentrated and a cocoon of darkness spread across Imiko's back and slowly lifted her up from the bushes and placed her lightly at his feet.
"Are you hurt anywhere? Not bleeding too much are you? You cot scratched though, I can smell your blood more freely now."

Laughing, Imiko let out a delighted, "WHEE!" as the dark energy hefted her up. Set on her feet, she blinked at him, and a smile and a quirked brow preceeded her pointing at her face. Sure enough, a small dribble of blood was running down the side of her right cheek. Her arms had a few minor cuts and a few bleeders as well, but other than that, she seemed fine.
"Thanks alot! I was stuck in there... no matter how I moved, I just got pricked again," She said, laughing at herself. She bent over and picked out one of the few unharmed roses, and offered it to him. "For your services!"

Vashiel accepted the rose and bowed down to Imiko the way a prince or knight would to a princess.Now lets see if I can remember how to say this the right way.
"Thou art welcome milady."
Vashiel then stood up and back up a bit so that he was not saturated with the scent of blood. It was obvious by the look on his face that he was struggling with his blood lust.
"Please can you clean up your cuts though, the smell is really hitting me hard. And I don't want to hurt you."

Blinking in surprise, Imiko quickly used some water from the grass to seal her cuts. They were still injured, but at least the water was between the blood trying to go past her skin and his nose. She was about to drop it though, so she froze it to her skin. She let out a shiver, but other than that seemed fine. She looked up at Vashiel with a smile. "There w-we go!"
She gave him a thumbs up. She giggled a bit.
"That was an interesting way of saying thank you." Thinking a bit, she returned his bow (a bit late, albeit) with a curtsy, "Thou art welcome." Giggling, Imiko stood straight once more and focused hard on a line of bricks seperating flower bed from path. Standing on it, she walked on tip toe, one foot in front of the other, down the line.

With the smell of blood gone from the air for the time being Vashiel regained control over himself. He walked along side Imiko as she did her little thing on the bricks.
"Thanks for washing up, I do not think I will want to take your blood by force. I believe it will mean more to you in the long run if you decide to offer it up freely by your own choice."

"Shh! It's your secret weapon!" Imiko chastened, looking side to side in a conspirational manner. "You need it when you're about to get your butt handed to you!" Imiko randomly tackled Vashiel in an attempt to push him over. Not checking so see if he fell or not, she skipped ahead on the bricks once more, giglging.
"When you're in trouble, let me know and you can have the blood, kay?" She spun around to grin at him.

Vashiel hit the ground hard after being tackled while off guard. He looked back at Imiko while she grinned at him and he just grinned right back.
"That was a cheap shot Imiko, but come on you know what I meant. Even if I will only take it when I really need it I still want you to be okay with it and not just doing it because you have to.

Van heard a bunch of overly hyper voices traveling through the garden. It was kind of annoying really. Too much energy for his taste. He had the solution to the problem though by reaching down and turning the small amp up. A smile crossed his lips, "Ah that is so much better." His fingers continued their dance across the strings seeming more and more nimble as he went forming a solid blues melody that pleased and relaxed the young man. He started to loose himself again in his music as he played.

Vashiel heard the music begin to play and found that it had gotten even louder, to the point of being too loud. He looked around and saw a purple haired kid playing his guitar at a bench near by. He looked at Imiko and mimicked her mischievous smile from earlier.
"Sit back and relax, you might learn something while I deal with the guy interrupting us."
Vashiel looked up to the sky and saw that the sun had set beyond the horizon, essentially making it night. This was just what he needed. He could now use his powers to his fullest. He walked over to one of the trees and stood in the shadow it had from the lights of the school and slowly sank into it. He travelled in the shadows being nothing more than a dark mist at this point. He got to the amp and planted himself in the shadow of it. He then manifested an arm of metaphysical darkness and unplugged the guitar from the amp and then retreated back into the shadow. Waiting to see how long it would take for the guy to notice.

Ivan's eyes opened almost immediately. His guitar had been unplugged leaving the irritating sound of a buzz emanating from the little amp attached to his side. He removed the black pick from the lace around his neck and held it between his pointer finger and thumb on his right hand, With a deft and unnoticed hand he undid the clasp that held the chain around his waist and repluged the cable in. "Fine if you don't like blues you should have said something." His fingers brushed the knobs on the little amp all the way up. A wicked look formed in his eyes, "Never touch my amp." Without another warning he stroked the strings of the guitar with the pick to create a deafening sound that sounded like a cat being thrown into a blender as it is tossed into a bathtub while on Puree.
