" Trying to relax. They havn't given me a dorm yet, so I don't have many places to stay. "
She replied just as quiet as before. Reizo seemed incredibly impacient about something, but she couldn't put her finger on it. There was obviously many secrets surrounding him, and there were evidently many that would never be revealed without asking. Shiia wasn't relaxed enough to begin asking penatrating questions and was fairly new at the whole conversation thing, but she did want to know one secret.
" Might I ask why you followed me into the forest? "

Rikka heard the wolves all running through the woods, and it was a little scary. She wondered if they were hunting, and what it was. She could smell blood, although it was very faint. She didn't want to follow it, afraid that those wolves would turn on her . . . but the thought of a deer being taken down by hungry wolves was sad to her . . . and she was interested to see if there was anything in the woods past the level of ordinary.
Quietly, Rikka started towards the bloody smell.

[ From School Gates ]
Blaze walked into the forest and looked around at how damp and large it was.
"This is better than everything else" He thought and walked deeper into the forest.
"This would be a nice place to read a book" He thought and smiled at how quiet it was. Jumping over fallen trees and climbing large boulders seemed so peaceful. He had forgotten about all the pain he had suffered in his life. Blaze smiled and looked around. He could tell that others were in the forest besides him. His smile faded. Blaze huddled near a large pit and began to cry. But he didn't cry tears. Instead he cried little drops of blood. He slowly whiped the tears of blood from him and stood up. Blaze leaned on a nearby tree and closed his eyes.

Reizo laughed a bit at the question he was asked. Of course he had expected her to ask such a question. Any smart person would do such a thing; then again, smart people would also stay away from him. However, the oblivious elven girl had no idea what Reizo was planning, and he knew that from what he allowed the girl to observe about himself she wouldn't be able to identify him very well. It was one of the many uses for his personality differences; they way that he could so easily manipulate people without them knowing.
Cleverly placing a boyish grin on his face, Reizo made it so Shiia would be unaware of the thoughts he had been thinking and merely replied. "I was a bit curious about you. You seemed distant. Though not so much shy.. more afraid. You obviously are used to just your own kin. Being around people that are so different than you must be extremely hard." He paused, looking directly into her eyes. "Especially being with a demon."

" A....demon? You looked like a human to me. " She said with a small stutter. She was a bit afriad now, her father had warned her of demons. He said that they were usually maleviolent and had evil intentions at heart, but of course Reizo didn't seem like that type of person. Then again, how much did she REALLY know about him. She had been totally wrong about his personality already. A small voice in the back of her head began questioning Reizo's motives, but she ignored it. He seemed nice and that was all that mattered to her, especially since no one else ever really paid attention to her.
" Then, is this your human form or your demon form? " She was relunctant to ask. Demon forms were usually quite frightening and never seemed to really appeal to Shiia. In retrospect, she'd decided it wasn't one of the most tactical things to say.

"Human of course." Reizo replied, acting as if the thought of her thinking he was his demon self at that moment was beyond belief. "Do you really think that I would walk about with that much darkness controlling me?" He questioned her, looking away from her for a moment and out into the forest. "I don't like it. So why would I want to let it control me?"
Perfect. Making himself a bit vunerable was the perfect thing to do. That way she would feel as if he was safe. As long as she felt that he didn't want to hurt anybody and that he would open up a bit she might begin to fell that he was able to be trusted. Of course she would be unaware of his lies and deceit. However, little did Reizo know there was actually much truth in what he said.

" Oh.... I'm sorry. I didn't know..... " She said and her face drooped. Sympathy ran over her as she saw Reiko look sort of sad. Any suspisions she did formally have, disappeared. She'd never thought of it as a demon CONTROLLING a human, to her seemed like the human wanted extreme power and caught a demon or something. As she thought more about it, her father had told her that.
" Why would father lie to me? "

"Nah, it's fine." Reizo said with a shrug, going back to his usual laid-back sort of attitude. "I don't really care what people think, so it doesn't matter much." He explained to her before adding another important point. "But don't get me wrong, not all demons are like me. There are ones that enjoy being consumed. I'm not sure why... but oh well."

[ GROWL! MORE WRITER'S BLOCK! ]
His statement made sense. She should've known that all demons were different, just like humans and elves. Shiia knew nothing about demons or possessed beings in general, so she decided to open her mind to new ideas. It wasn't in her nature to enjoy being biased but because she lived in a close community for almost all her life, it was kind of difficutl not to grow up with some opinonated ideas. She looked hims straight in the eye. He no longer seemed malivolent, but rather nonchalent and somewhat caring. He had her under his thumb.

Reizo watched her contemplate, not knowing what move he should take next. It was like a game of chess in his mind. Everything he did was simply a strategic move towards his goal of a check mate. The only problem was the other player was slow to make their move. It had always been the problem he had with shy people. He knew he would be alble to crack Shiia in the end, though getting to that point was bound to be a struggle.
"Would you like to take a walk, Shiia?" Reizo then asked her calmly, pulling a hand out of his pocket and offering her a hand.
---
Not to far away from where the manipulate Reizo was, Jessica walked about in the forest, her eyes searching her surroundings. She was very curious to where she was. She loved things that intrigued her, and since she was entertained rather easily the forest made her be in awe of it. Of course boredom still lingered within her though, for she was by herself. Being alone was one thing she dispised above all else; she loved to be surrounded by those who she could trust and call her friends. Unfortunately, she had few she could truly trust.
A frown then appeared on her face as she continued to walk. Her thoughts of lonliness were disrupting her optimism, and she didn't like it. Though only moments later her thoughts shifted once more as she noticed a boy close by. She wasn't quite sure what to think of the boy at first. He didn't appear to be too dangerous, and even if he was she was sure she would be able to take care of herself if a fight did come up. However, in her opinion she found him a bit troubled, which was why she approached him.
"Are you okay?" She said aloud to the boy in a calm voice, being rather proud of herself for approaching a boy without fear. Her relationship with boys had always made it hard for her to do so.

" Sure... " She said and stood up. " Where are we going? " She asked as she shook off her skirt.

"I have absolutely no idea." Reizo said with a slight laugh as he watched her. "I just don't really like to stand around." He added, beginning to walk off back into the forest. He looked back at her with the boyish grin still apparent. "Aren't you the nature lover? You should be the one who knows where to go."

" True.... " She said softly. They walked out of the clearing and walked into the thicket of forest.
The forest was very dense with different types of trees, each with a different tree spirit living inside. The spirits waved at Shiia as she passed and Shiia made no response to the sprites and continued walking. Soon, the trees all looked the same and the sun began to fall lower into the sky. It was getting later, it must've been almost 4PM by then.
Shiia and Reizo walked across a small river that obviously divide the forest into two sections. On the river bank were more small logs that were obviously meant for chairs. There was a path of stones that formed a small path across the river, but there was no bridge. The river gurgled with delight as the sun's weakening rays shined across the water, refracting into millions of tiny light fragments when it touched the water. The clearing was empty and there wasn't another creature present except for Reizo and Shiia.
" I think we're lost.... " She whispered.

"Lost?" Reizo questioned Shiia surprised. He was completley oblivious as to how the two of them could've gotten lost. She was supposed to be some nature freak. Didn't that mean that she would know exactly where they were at all times? Well, apparently that wasn't the case. This girl is so useless... maybe I should find someone else... Reizo thought to himself a bit annoyed at the current situation. Then again... being lost could provide him with good outcomes, espeically if he proved himself to her in battle. If that happened then he could show her that he was the galliant knight who would protect the beloved princess. Girls fell for that sort of thing all the time. "How could that have happened?"

Blaze looked up at a girl that spoke to him.
"Leave me alone..." Blaze said in a deep tone. He leaned on a tree. "Just leave!" He shouted at her
