Hidemi Hana, doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, and anything else having to do with medicine, was visiting the park. The roses today were beautiful and the one day off of work was not going to be spent in her house. Hi loved flowers, but unfortunately could not grow them because she had a black thumb instead of a green one. She walked along the path for a bit, humming to herself.
She hadn't visited a 'Kuma-Only Zone' in a very long time, she kind of missed the places where she grew up when her parents were alive. She sat on a bench among the yellow roses and took in deep breaths of fresh air. If only she had days off more often, she could do this everyday.

Kyou's tongue was stuck out to the side in concentration, camera held still as stone in his grasp. It wasn't often he was this concentrated, but there was a panic at the base (one of the members had gotten kidnapped, it seemed. He sure hoped it had nothing to do with the other strange goings on, his mind still lingered on Seishy's broken fingers from all those months ago..) and he had to get his mind off of it. Ayumu was visiting with Kaito, he was pretty sure... and Jupiter was... doing whatever outdoor cats did. Catching mice, probably.
In front of the Tora spread a few lovely rosebushes, dew still on the leaves and petals. All he needed was for one cloud to move out of the way of the sun and...
*click*
The shutter snapped and the image was seared onto film, Kyou didn't have nearly enough money (even WITH a job) to afford a digital camera, and he doubted he'd ever want one what with how good his more old-fashioned film-camera produced photos. A grin spread across his face. "Perfect." He said to himself as some the dew was soon knocked off of the rose by an early-morning bee. He at least had the one image before it had been altered by the bee, that was enough for him.
He stood from his crouching position and stretched. He had been crouched down like that for a LITTLE too long, really, and his spine cracked as it straightened itself out.

Hi jumped when the boy stood up behind one of the rose bushes. She had been so concentrated on her own thoughts that she didn't realize that he was there. She put her hand over her pounding heart and said to him, "You scared me! I thought I was here by myself." She smiled sheepishly, "Hi! I guess, I'm Hidemi Hana, my friends call me Hi. What's your name?" She really needed to make friends in this town. Right now the friends consisted of Seishy, Fred (A little more then friends) Jane and Persephone. If you could even call that last one a friend.

Kyou jumped a bit at the sound of another person, though he relaxed quickly as she spoke. She certainly sounded nice and not unkind in the least. He blinked as she gave her name. 'Hi'... 'Hi'... that sounded awfully familiar... He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and smiled a bit, voice soft as it usually was upon meeting new people. Without Ayumu or Seishy around he found it difficult NOT to be shy. "Hello." He replied. "I'm sorry for startling you, Miss Hi. My name's Kyou Takeda." He introduced himself and then snapped his fingers in realization.
"You... wouldn't happen to know a really sparkly guy named Seishiro, would you?" He inquired, remembering where he had heard the name from. Seishy had talked quite a bit about this woman, if he recalled, she was one of the first things he hand ever heard about from Seishy way back when he had met him at the Allure. Granted, he hadn't known Hi by NAME back then, but it still counted.

Hi laughed, "Yes I know him, he is my best guy friend after all." She got up from her place on the bench and walked over. She smiled, "And you must be the Kyou I've being hearing about. It seems we do have something in common." She stuck out a slim, pale hand, "It's nice to finally meet you Kyou." She grinned. He was a very kind kid, for the way he acted. It was nice that Seishy had finally found someone who would treat him well.
Again, Hi found herself acting like Seishy's mother, a thing she had done since they were children. She looked after him when he needed it and would sometimes spoil him. But she was always tough when it was needed.

Kyou smiled a little brighter. "Then you ARE the Hi I'm thinking of!" He laughed happily, shaking her hand and resisting the powerful urge he had to hug the woman. She was important to Seishy, and was probably half the reason the sparkly Tora hadn't gotten his face smashed to bits by now. "It's really nice to finally meet you too, Seishy's mentioned you a ton." It caused a warm glow in his heart to know that Seishy had been talking about him to someone he held in such high regard.

"It's nice to meet you too!" Hi smiled, "I bet he does, I'm seriously like his mother." She gestured to the bench she had been sitting on, "Would you like to join me?" She went and walked over to the bench, seating herself and patting the seat next to her.
She didn't know that Seishy talked about her, although it wasn't surprising. She thought with a smile, he probably only complained about her, although she knew that wasn't true.

Kyou was pretty relaxed as he began to chat with the Kuma woman. From all Seishy had told him he had been expecting a braver version of his sister, and it seemed that so far he was right. "Love to." He chirped happily, sitting down next to Hi and placing his camera bag safely next to him. He was delicate as ever with the device, it WAS his livelihood after all. Both his and Ayumu's until she found a painting or two she might want to part with.
But he would never force his shy sister to do that, not ever. He understood how special the creations were, he wouldn't do that to his twin.
"I hear your a doctor, right?" He asked first off, his real curiosity was 'I think you're the only person in the city I might be able to out drink, is that true?' but that was a little rude to ask right off the bat. He wanted to make a good impression on Hi.

Hi smiled, "I am, I work at the local hospital, I started just recently in fact. My parents were doctors..." She paused, a little pain on her face then she smiled again, "I grew up reading medical books, so naturally I wanted to follow in their footsteps." She glanced at the camera that he so carefully placed next to him.
"I see you like your camera very much." Realizing that sounded a little creepy she said quickly, "Sorry! Didn't mean that to sound weird!" She laughed, "I'm also a physicist, so I kind of... read people, as them may call it." She smiled, "All that just means that I can see that, that camera, is very important to you." She hoped that she didn't sound that weird, wouldn't want her first conversation with Kyou to be a bad one.

Kyou nodded to her explanation, though he didn't miss the flash of pain on Hi's face. Something to do with her parents, undoubtedly, but what? Kyou had a bit of a strained relationship with his own parental units, so he wasn't entirely certain. Perhaps Ayumu would have a better idea, she usually had an answer for his questions. And if she didn't, there was always the wonder that was the internet. "That's noble of you." He said with a comforting smile, pain didn't just flash after all, it was usually there under the surface.
The photographer waved his hands and laughed as Hi seemed to get a little flustered. "It's fine!" He said with a smile. placing a hand on the case and patting it gently. "And you're a hundred-percent right, she's one of the most precious things I have." The camera was his baby, and he spent more time on keeping it in pristine condition than sleeping some days. Though truthfully, now that he had a job with the newspaper he was on-call if they needed a photo it was a very plausible statement.

Hi smiled, "I see." Then she thought for a moment, "So... since were getting to know each other, what's your career of choice?" She liked Kyou, and was glad that Seishy had found someone so nice. Some of his past relationships have been... rough to say the least. He deserved someone as much as anyone, and she was so happy that found a good person. So hopefully... this will last.

Kyou laughed a little. "I thought that would be pretty easy to guess from the camera." His career of choice... well, that was easy. "I used to be a freelance photographer, and I really really loved doing that, but it didn't bring in enough money for me and my sister so I took a job with the newspaper." He still kept up with the freelance business, a little extra cash was always helpful.

Hi nodded, "Gotcha, photography is something I always wanted to do..." She paused, "But I never, quite had the time." Smiled sadly, "I kind of rushed into my doctor's career." Not that I had a choice, she thought silently. But that was too depressing to bring up, so she wiped off her sad face and smiled, a happy one.
"Well, how is that going for you? Are you okay on money?"Hi asked with concern in her eyes. Hi really cared for anyone, even if she barely knew them. She was the type of person to open heart to others. But she also easily closed it if she felt betrayed or lied to. That's why Seishy had a 'punishment' every time he lied to her. It made her feel insecure, and she couldn't or shouldn't feel that why with her long time friend, who she trusted with her life.

Kyou blinked in mild confusion at her concern, then smiled as it clicked. She was a doctor and Seishy's best friend, she must worry about everyone. He waved his hands as if to brush away the concern. "It's going fine. And we're alright, staying at the HQ, but alright." The HQ wasn't too bad, really, and he was close to having enough money to get he and Ayumu an apartment. Nothing fancy, but hopefully it would be enough for he, his twin, and their little kitten. He didn't want to keep hanging around the base. Besides, a little more privacy would undoubtedly make Ayumu happy.
"It's never too late to take it up as a hobby, though." He said in response to her earlier comment. "Unless you've already found a more riveting pastime, that is." He joked happily, Hi was surprisingly easy for him to talk to.

"Other riveting pastime? Sleeping, maybe." She laughed, "I'm glad that your doing alright, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't ask?" She smiled sweetly. Kyou was a nice and kindhearted man, although he seems young and childish, he wasn't immature. There she went again, reading people, she mentally sighed, she really needed to stop doing that.
"And to answer your question, a don't really have a hobby or even time for one. No matter how much I want to." She smiled, "Doctors keep odd hours." She was really concerned about having a hobby, but then she remembered, "I used to draw, in high school, although it's been a long time since a picked up a pencil for that purpose." She smiled, remembering that she wasn't half bad at drawing.
