Huyu meandered down the sandy beach, wondering why he didn't come here very often. In fact, aside from one or two family trips he hadn't come here at all. A few strands of white hair fell into his face and he blew them away, though this distracted him momentarily and the lack of focus caused him to trip and fall on a driftwood log. NOW he remembered why he didn't go to the beach. He wound up getting hurt every time.

Hotaru walked down the beach in an attempt to get rid of her some bad memories with some goods ones. Her first date with Jack had been here at the beach, a day she'd never forget.
Her thoughts paused for a second when she noticed someone had fallen. She walked over to him, reaching out her hand. "Need help?" she asked him.

Huyu looked up to see a red-headed teen. He smiled and gasped her hand, pulling himself up and dusting off his shirt and jacket. He put most of his weight on his not-stubbed foot and spoke. "Thanks." He said, smiling at the girl and noting the Tora bracelet around her wrist. "Uh, I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Huyu, Huyu Akiyama." He held out his hand this time in greeting. "It appears we're in the same clan, though I can't say I've seen you around Miss..." He trailed off, allowing the girl to fill in her name.

Hotaru laughed slightly. "Nice to meet you, Huyu. Call me Phoenix." she said, introducing herself. "Doesn't surprise me that we haven't seen each other, I'm just reccently getting out of my shell I guess." she laughed.
"So what are you doing here on the beach by yourself?" she asked him.

Huyu shrugged. "Not surprised myself, I've just recently gotten into Tora." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "And as for what I'm doing, I just haven't been here in awhile I suppose. Though my foot's a pretty good example of why that is." He gave a small laugh. "Always manage to get hurt in some way or another here."
He kept the smile going. "So what are you doing here Miss Pheonix?" He asked, polite as usual. He had never quite gotten out of the habit of tagging on Miss and Mr to the front of names. Besides, the girl looked older than him, though it was difficult to say with her cloak. She was certainly taller than him, but that didn't really mean much.

Hotaru smiled at his explaination. "Just... thinking about some stuff." she replied, her smile growing a little. "This place is really pretty, I've only been here a few times."

"It is, isn't it?" He said, looking out at the waves. "I've never been here close to sunset, so I was hoping to be able to stick around until then to see it." He glanced back at his companion. "Have you ever been here at sunset?" He asked, wondering if the other Tora would be able to tell him if it was worth waiting for.

Hotaru nodded her head, trying to keep from smiling any bigger from the memories. "Yes, I have. It's beautiful, trust me." she asured him. "It's even better when you're with some one special..." she trailed off, but shook her head a moment later. "But, yeah, like I said, it's worth waiting for." she told him, laughing again.

Huyu smiled. "Good to know, though I take it you were here with someone special before?" He asked, quickly amending. "You don't have to tell me of course, it's your business." He didn't want to offend the elder Tora, though if she was dating someone he was sure he'd hear it though the clan grapevine sooner or later.

Hotaru sighed a little. She couldn't risk saying anything more. "'Guess you could say that." she replied. "But it's nothing." she told him.
"Sooo," she said, looking up for a moment. "How long you been in Tora, Huyu?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

"About a week I'm ashamed to say." He said with a laugh, the last topic effectively switched. "My parents kept me out of the clans for awhile I'm just starting to get used to clan life." He paused as a question came to mind. "By the way, is clan food always so terrible? It's worse than school food." He stuck out his tongue childishly in distaste. It really was terrible, though with so many mouths to feed it was understandable that they went with quantity over quality.

Hotaru laughed and nodded. "Afraid so, my friend." she told him. "But, I work at the Mystic Wok, come by there sometime and I might be able to get you a little discount." she said, laughing.

Huyu laughed with the red-head. "Deal!" He agreed, noting that the waver had begun to lap at his shoes. After a moments thought he kicked them off and bent down to roll up his pants before wading into the cool water. A wide grin made its way onto his face, lit up by child-like glee.

Hotaru smiled at her new friend before looking up onc again at the sky. "You know, I didn't get in the clans when I was supposed to, either, but I'm sure my reason is very different from yours." she told him. "I kind of regret waiting so long."

Huyu tipped his head to the side and looked back at Phoenix. "Considering that I've never seen you around my side of town I'm betting you're right about that different reason thing." He nodded to himself. "But why do you regret not getting conscripted at thirteen? I'd much rather be at home than at the barracks..." He scuffed his foot under the water, accidentally sending out a small splash of water Phoenix's way.
