Coral Beach  A long winding dirt road leads through the Tenshi Forest. After a few miles, the trees begin to lessen, and the road opens into a dirt lot. Just beyond the dirt lot you can hear waves and gulls. The beach itself is beautiful. It stretches up and down the coast for as far as the eye can see. The sand is made up of pulverized coral of all colors, and it sparkles in direct sunlight. There are only small waves gently lapping at the shore. Out in the watter, about a hundred meters out or so, there is a large coral reef. There is some magical energy radiating from the water that has warmed the water enough for the coral to grow, and the water at the beach's edge is warm year round. Beyond the reef off in the distance are several islands shrouded in fog. There are usually some clouds hanging lazily over the coast, but never enough to drive away the visitors. Back by the dirt lot, hidden in the trees and covered in moss, is a old wooden sign with the word WARNING barely visable across the top. Underneath, scrawled in a messy script, is a brief warning:
"Stay away from beach during storm. Bad weather equals big danger. If go in water, never come out."
A little to the front of the old sign is a new one, painted white with red lettering on it:
"Watch out for demonic jellyfish"

For some odd reason Aryu found her way to the beach. Her lack of direction and sense of smell and calling brought her the Coral Beach. Aryu's eyes popped open at the sight of the water. It was like she was home. Her first instinct was to run into the water and she did just that. Laughing out loud Aryu dove head first into the water. She swam deep to the ocean's bottom and made her transformation. When she was done with that, Aryu swished her powerful fin and propelled herself up to the surface. An hour or two must have passed by before Aryu got bored. She knew she needed to go register for her classes, but the deep blue called to her. "I will have to come back later." Before leaving the place, Aryu took a good look at the wonderful place.

"Thanks you!" She smiled back and walked out the door. Once out, she made a right turn and headed down the dim cobble stone road. Once at the edge of the town the road turned to dirt and the trees came right up to the edge, like a protective wall.
"It should be just a bit farther down this way..." She was walking slowly watching where she stepped, fingers laced behind her back. It was steadily growing darker as they walked. It was almost too dark to see where your feet touched the road, or anything that happened to be in the road. Suddenly Kasai's heel caught on something in the road and she lost her balence. She let out a light squeal as she fell face first toward the road.

Ginseku was there in a flash, which technically wasnt even a flash; he was just there before you could notice that he moved at all. He caught her in his arms, preventing her from falling.
"...You have to more careful, Sai...You could hurt yourself otherwise.."
He slowly helped her back to her feet, almost reluctant to let her out of his arms.

Kasai stretched out her arms and braced for impact, but she was caught up in Ginseku's arms before she hit the ground. It took her a moment to realize what happened.
"Oh, thank you Ginseku! I'll try to be more careful now..." She steadied herself on her feet and started walking again. But now she clung to the sleeve of Ginseku's jacket for support. They walked a few more yards before the road opened up into a large dirt lot. Through the threes you could see the moon rising above the waves.

Ginseku smiled to himself lightly, feeling her clinging to him. It was sort of odd to him, but he enjoyed it alot. He looked out at the water slowly, taking in the beautiful scenery.
"...Beautiful..."
He said, looking at the stars for a moment. he glanced at Kasai for a split second, then looked back up at the sky again.

"Yes it is!" Kasai sat down on a near by fallen tree, pulled off her boots, then rolled down her stalkings. She picked them up and dashed throught the lot and through the trees to the beach. She dropped her boots and tights in the sand and pulled her staff off her back, setting it in the sand next to her other things, before running down to the water's edge. The water was warm to the skin and the waves lapped gently aginst her ankles. She could feel the wet sand move under her feet with each little wave. The moon had just risen above the horizan and cast a shimmering reflection across the calm water.
"Its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" Kasai almost squealed with delight. This was the first beach she'd ever been to.

Ginseku followed her quickly, smiling. he pulled off his own boots as well, following her into the shallow water. He didnt stand next to her though, he stood a few feet away, admiring her wonder and curiosity from afar with a small smile.
The waves lapped over the ground softly,leaving small seafoam bubbles to pop on the sand.

Kasai walked forward, holding up the sleeves on her kimono, until the water was to her knees. Then she pulled off her kimono and tossed it back toward the sand. If floated slowly back up the beach and landed next to her other things. After that she continued to wade out until the water was to her waste. The water was warm and felt really soothing to her skin. With out warning she dove into the water and swam a ways under the surface of thw ocean before resurfacing. She took in a deep breath then looked back to the beach.
"Come on! It's really nice!" She was paddling in a small circle to stay afloat. There was a small sandbar a few yards out where the water was only a few feet deep, so she swam over to it. She plopped down on the little sandy formation and stared up at the stars.

"I..dont know...alright."
He dove into the water without another word.
He swam under the surface backwards, looking up at the mirrored surface with delight.
he surfaced, then crawled up onto the sandbar, laying in his belly beside Kasai.

Kasai began to giggle.
"You swam out here with all your clothes on..." She rolled over onto her belly next to Ginseku.
"You truely are silly..." She smiled at him before gazing back out at the moon sitting low in the sky.

"Actually....Yes, i am. But i can get dry like that"
ginseku snapped his fingers, gripping them into a fist immediately after. A small wave of white light crackled down his skin, and it dried. it moved down to his toes, and he was dry. he shivered slightly as the wind blew. The water was warm, but the wind was kinda chilly. He scooted over, slightly nudging against Kasai for warmth.
"Kinda cold, isnt it..."

"Ya... But that's because you dried your self off!" She smiled, giggling a little, and leaned her head against his shoulder. It had been a long day, and she was starting to get tired. But she didn't want to leave the beach. It was so beautiful, and she was with the first friend she had made at Tenshi. This day had turned out really well.

"..yeah."
He smiled lightly. He turned over, laying on his back. he took off his jacket, keeping it over himself; he had no shirt on underneath it. He snapped his fingers, and transmuted his jacket into a large blanket. He covered himself up lightly, curling his shroud into a long pillow. He snuggled into the sand sligthly, and looked up at the stars.
"..I think ill stay here for the night. you?"

"That'd be nice! But you better share that blanket!" Kasai prodded his side.
"Oh, just one thing..." She raised her hand toward the beach. There was a soft wizzing sound and her staff came flying toward them. She caught the staff and planted the tip of it in the sand near her head. The diamond flashed a bright red before settling into dim pink. It stayed that color, pulsing every few minutes or so. Kasai then resumed prodding at Ginsku's blanket.
