Kohaku walked over to the machine and smiled. Her mother had something similar to this.. With all kinds of classical music and symphonies that she used to listen to nonstop. Her brothers liked it a little, but not as much as she did. She had often studied famous composers just for the fun of it. Though, she wasn't sure if this record player would have anything on it, since most people were into rock and the other popular music of today. Intrestingly enough, there was classical music in it.. But the part that made her really happy was that it had her favorite, Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. She had memorzied the music to it front and back, but never got tired of hearing it. She selected the song and walked back to him, smiling happily.

classical? Well that had been the last Al had expected. Even he knew a few classicals,although not this one but others. He took her gently by the hand and wrapped his other hand around her waist.
"It may be a bit late but I'm a bit of a two-left-feet kinda dancer."
chuckling he took steps to each side then twirled her under his arm.
'I wonder what her voice would have sounded like' he found himself wondering.

Kohaku smiled cheerfully as they twirled across the dance floor, following every move he made. She enjoyed dancing almost as much as making the music to dance to. She was having the night of her life so far.. She had found the courage to finally leave the mansion, found this lovely little place, met someone who actually didn't care about her "disability", and to top it all off, she was dancing with him now. It seemed like she had so many blessings to count. Of course, she still wished she had a voice.. So she could thank him for all he had already done for her... Sure, it'd be nice, but she knew it wasn't going to happen. And so many miracles in one night was overwhelming. She was satisfied with all she had right now.

Al wanted to shy away from her smile, but he couldn't bring his eyes to look away. He had made so many others happy yet this girl's was so diffrent, overflowing. Like the very dance they were doing was taking all the happiness in the room to fill her being. It was.....wrong. very wrong. He would probabbly leave this woman and by tomorrow she would be a regrettfull thought,feeling stupid to have let himself get this carried away and to give so much thought. He wanted to open up his door of shadows and let himself fall into their abyss of nothing. To foget that he could make anyone feel any true happy for long or at all,unlike the falseness he would usually place there instead.
he relised he had stopped dancing for a minute and quickly resumed,acting like nothing was wrong and smiling back, well more like smirking seductivly. He couldn't help it,his smiles always ended up that way!
"sorry stubbed my foot on something."
He mummbled. There was only one way he could probabbly assure himself he was only doing this for one reason and that this girl was just like the others that he had slain.Gently he pushed the hair around her neck away while placing his hand there so it looked like he was just changing position, eyes probing for the vital vein that ran through it.
((semi-long post sorry xD

Kohaku was wondering why he had abruptly stopped dancing. She didn't think that he really stubbed his foot, but she could've been wrong... Though, his eyes seemed to say something else... He was in deep thought... And it didn't look like happy thoughts, either. She knew it wasn't any of her business, but she wanted him to be happy, too. Then again, what could she do about it? She couldn't exactly give him kind words of reassurance... Or even ask him what was wrong. She supposed that all she could really do was smile and be happy.. And hope that some of it rubbed off on him. Then she noticed that the song was almost over, barely realizing that his hand had moved.
(( ^^ S'okay. I enjoyed reading it! ))

Now Al sttopped completely, looking at her. What was she thinking? Wishing she could say?
there were ways he could know but he'd feel better to ask for her permission. It may even calm his fears of what he would at some point this night do. Still he might as well draw it out while he was enjoying her company.
"kohaku was there ever a time you did have a voice?"
he cocked his head to the side some.

Kohaku frowned and slowly nodded. She had been, at one point in her life, able to speak. She remembered those first 4 years of her life fondly. Though the memories were slowly fading in her head... She could faintly remember what her voice sounded like. But, for some reason, she just couldn't remember what had happened to her.. What had happened to make her stop talking... All she remembered was that it was a nightmare... And that it had happened somewhere in the forest in the back of her house... A place that she didn't even look at anymore. She felt a cold shiver go up her back. She supposed a part of her never wanted to remember that again..

She looked saddned,Al thought.
He so wanted to ask if he could enter her mind if only for the hour if only to find out what her voice was like. Unfortunately this was a circumstance that not even motts or phrases could figure out either. curiosity killed the cat but those that seek shall find were complete cotradictions of each other which left him were his was still.
The other alternative was merely to ask and that be that. He sighed,only option really. He stroked her hair much like you would stroke a cat.
"kohaku I would very much like to hear your voice,if it be the one thing I take away from this chance meeting. but to do so I would have to go into your memories and retrieve it from whichever ones it is attached to. would you let me...?"
his voice was prud but a slight shakiness was behind it.

Kohaku looked up into his eyes and smiled softly. She didn't mind at all... If that was really what he wanted, then it was the least she could do for him... But she wondered if he would dig up the bad memories along with what he sought? She hoped not... Some things were best left unseen... She nodded her approval softly, still hoping that everything would be alright.

He smiled at her softly then leant in to kiss her gently on the forehead,as he did so his formed turned into the shadowed blackness she had seen before. The very essence sort of entered into al her five senses so it was almost attached to her in a way so that if he willed it he could use her body like a puppet, but that wasn't what he wanted. He sent out his own personal calm outwards to her,some people always got weirded out by the chill filling of having another being 'inside' them.
Various images rushed past his eyes though a galaxy of stars and planet, each more beautiful then the last. He ignored most of them, the memories he was looking for were further to the back almost fogotten. behind doors covered in dust and rusted hinges. Although in this case he may find burnt out stars instead but it was never truly known until you got there. He could distantly hear voices and music notes floating around, friends and family. even the music they may have danced to themselves.
'You're mind is a beutiful place' he thought but it echoed around. His thoughts no longer belonged to him but to Kohaku as well.
((okay i'll try to explain this as best as I can xd
Basically have you ever seen at least the first series of yugioh were the ancient egyptian guy sees into yugi's mind but his mind is like a giant maze with each memory and feeling behind doors and those best left forgotten are boob-trapped and such. well it's kinda like that except with this one it's more like in a univers of stars and consellations since every mind is diffrent to each person.))

(( Lol, I never got to watch those episodes but I understand what you're saying. ))
In Kohaku's mind, a very old looking door appeared to him.. The door had many cracks in it, but still seemed elegant. A few other doors appeared as well, most of them looking newer than that one.. And then there was one that was chained and locked up, with nails sticking out of it. And upon looking closer, there seemed to be blood on it. The door leeked a dark presence.

((okay that's good,I thought you might end up thinking 'what is this girl on or something i'm gonna leave the memory for kohaku to make up kk? xd ))
Al stared at the appearing doors. The newer ones were obviously not the ones he was looking for. they had a brisk white paint that reminded him of picket fences and such . The door that had appeared in front of him was much more worn,he even noticed traces of spiderwebs clinging to the corners. He traced one of the cracks that appeared around the brass doorknob. He opened it, no creaks sounded off but instead a sunny light filtered in. The form of kohaku and some other person appeared just beyod a group of trees a few feet ahead.

The young, 4 year old Kohaku jumped around happily with her older brother Fang. Both children looked happy and healthy, playing around behind a huge mansion. Suddenly, Kohaku stopped and looked out into the forest, then at her older brother. "Fang.. What do you think is inside that forest?" She asked. Her voice sounded like a soothing song. It was very soft and pure sounding... Like the voice of an angel. Fang looked at her. "I dunno... But sometimes I hear wierd sounds comming from outside my bedroom at night.. Mother says it's just the wind, but I don't think it is..." He said with a look of speculation on his face. Suddenly, a larger figure appeared behind both of them, seeming to be a giant compared to the small children. It was a woman.. But her face seemed to be whiped out for some reason. "Alright kids, c'mon inside... Like I said, there's nothing out there." She said with a soft, calming voice. Kohaku and Fang both hugged her leg tightly. Kohaku looked up at her with cheerful eyes. "Momma, when we go inside, can we listen to your records again? I wanna hear the pretty sounding lady sing again!" She said in a calm yet excited voice. The woman looked down and laughed a little. "I just don't understand what your fascination with that music is!" She said happily. Kohaku just smiled. "Cause I wanna sing when I grow up too!" The woman looked at both of them and sighed, as if weary. "Then keep that dream safe, Kohaku... And no matter how hard things get, don't let it go." She said in a quieter voice. Then all three of them walked inside close together. As they entered the door, a shadowy figure seemed to linger in the place they had just left. A faint, hissing laughter could be heard.. Then it disappeared.

Al closed his eyes and listened to the conversation happening just outside his clear vision. even though they wouldn't see or acknowledge him if he did came close he felt morally better to stay a fair bit away from the happy family.
His heart twinged slightly, knowing kohaku would probabbly never fullfill this childhood dream for as long as he probabbly ever saw her.The little boy she was playing with was obviously her brother and the face of the woman they called mommy was blocked out, possible because she no longer remembered it at all. He wondered if she still held onto it even now, hoping her voice would come back and she would sing again.
Although even he could not miss the distinctive hiss of laughter that faded into the wind, it mirrored his own in certain ways. So someone was watching them, although who, would be a more accurate question. The woman seemed to know, despite her lack of enthousiasm to even mention. his only clue had been a twitch in her right arm as she said it. Although there was a possibility it was a medical condition.
The scene ended and he found himself now staring at the door again,hand still on the knob like he had never entered. now he looked at the door to the left, the one nailed shut and chained. The presence from it was practically bursting open with evil aruras and emotions of fear and helplessness washed over him,though it was a hole he had already faced and it was not his to accept either. He put his hand on it, applying no pressure.

Just as he touched it, a strange man appeared next to him. He had long, black hair and a very sickening air to him. His eyes glowed a very bright blue. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you, little boy. A closet like this one is no place for children." He said and grinned sadistically.
