The cemetery was eerily quiet. A few muffled crickets were the only sounds that could be heard. Occasionally there was the rush of a car that could be heard on the wet street. A medium-built Chinese boy sat perched on one of the gravestones. He was dressed in a pair of form-fitting jeans, and a black wife-beater. The weather was too warm for a jacket. A large necklace sat on his chest and moved in time with his breathing. It had a large golden skull on it with diamonds in the eyes.
Michio honestly had no idea why he was in this graveyard. Cemeteries were creepy, especially old ones like this. Then again Michio always enjoyed being a little freaked out. Almost like a strange fetish of his or something. It was either that, or his horrible craving to get out of his house. If he saw one more black or white piece of furniture he was going to flip. Of course, his sister had to pick out all the decorations. His parents didn't believe him when he said that it was probably because she was going to follow him there.
Then surprise surprise, two weeks after he arrived at Ryo he received word that the wretch herself was coming. It was strange, when Michio and his sister were younger they had gotten along perfectly. Then he began dating, and she became oddly jealous of his girlfriends when he would hang out with them. Michio frowned with disgust, his sister freaked him out. Not in a good way either.
A shiver ran through the boys spine when he heard approaching footsteps. A strong rush of adrenaline ran through his entire body, reaching all the way down to his fingertips. Michio bit the inside of his cheek, heavily debating to himself over whether to turn around to see if whoever it was, was a threat or not. Maybe he was just imagining things...

Talli saw someone in the distance she wasn't quite sure who it was though. She squinted her bright eyes trying to figure it out. Better yet why not just walk over? She tugged on her tight grey jeans and pulled her loose blue hoodie down more. She was always cold blooded. Her vivid red hair hung neatly aruond her face as she began walking. She heard the way her black flats crunched on the damp ground. She'd probably scare whoever she was walking up on away. She stopped for a moment. What if they had a gun? Eh, it didnt matter her life wasn't that important anyways. At least not to her. She got 10 feet away give or take a bit to the person lurking in the shadows. Well I guess technically she was lurking in the shadows. From what she could tell it was a guy, and she was getting that werid pull again... She couldn't help but follow as her feet brought her closer and closer.

Michio listened carefully noting that the footsteps stopped and then started again. During the split second they stopped he was almost relieved. Maybe they were scared off by his large muscular frame...Yeah muscular, keep telling yourself that... Michio could have only been that lucky.
If it was a rapist Michio was going to be seriously pissed off. He was not in mood to push some probably large and drunk man or woman off of him tonight. Then again...if the rapist happened to be cute he'd be happy to comply. Then again, rapists weren't usually cute. Wait a second...are they? Michio pondered this for a few seconds almost forgetting about the footsteps.
He let out a sigh of aggrivation when he finally decided to turn around. He could not have been more relieved when he recognized the fire red hair. It's only her... The fear that the approaching person had come to hurt him formed a lump in his throat. He cleared his it quickly so he could speak up. "Well well well, if it isn't Ms. Talli." His voice didn't waver for a second as he pushed all previous fears he had aside.

Talli smirked once she realized who it was. Still slighty spooked from previous thoughts she cautiosly walked around the gravestone. "and if isn't my favorite dancing partner." She smirked athim and stoped walking to lean on a headstone not far from him. "Mind if I ask why you're in a grave yard, alone at night? You're to pretty to be out here, you might get raped!" She gave a cute giggle and waited for an answer.

Michio watched as Talli smirked and sat on another gravestone not too far from his. "Maybe getting raped was the reason I was out here." This was followed by a few low chuckles. "Or maybe I was coming to do the raping." It was a joke of course, but Michio could make his voice sound serious when he felt the need. "Good thing that you think I'm pretty and a good dancer, because you're the first attractive person I've seen here." He said as his dark brown eye closed in a wink.
He laughed again, but this time he didn't make it low to sound devious or evil. "Just kidding, not about the attractive part though." This was accompanied by another small wink. "I just had to get out of my house, and I didn't feel like going clubbing, or anywhere near lights and sweaty bodies for that matter."
He looked down at the name on the gravestone where he sat. He tried to push the hairs that fell into his eyes away but they just returned seconds later, so he decided to just ignore them. He had to squint his eyes a little bit so that he could read the name. "So George Colonomos here has been keeping me company." Michio's head snapped back up and his hair flew away from his face.
"And might I ask why you're in a graveyard in the middle of the night, I do believe you stand a better chance of getting raped here than I do."

Talli laughed, He also had a sense of humour to go along with that pretty face of his. She smirked. "Well...ever stop to think maybe I'm out here to do the raping?" She gave a seductive wink and laughed rolling her bright eyes. "Actually I was out looking for my sister, remeber the other night? Well she likes to go missing." Talli gave a slight frown and tried to hide the worry in her eyes. "Its not a big island, she couldnt have gotten far." At least she hoped she hadn't. "So enjoying your evening, with the dead?"

"Well I guess I didn't think about that." Michio raised a suggestive eyebrow in Talli's direction. That only lasted about five seconds before he let out a few chuckles. His arm went up to play around with his necklace, which accompanied with numerous other actions was a habit. A moment later he realized how incredibly girly that probably looked and his hand immediatly dropped.
"I'm not sure whether to tell you I'm sorry, or that you're lucky." His voice showed a hint of jest, but the truth was he was actually being serious. "My sister is constantly in your face." Hunger for attention didn't sit to well with Michio. Then again his sister Meiying was probably one of the most attention hungry girls he had ever met. It didn't help that most of the attention she craved was from Michio.
"Surprisingly yes. Georgie here and I have gotten to know each other quite well." He said tapping on the gravestone a few times. "But I am willing to leave him for a while if you need help looking." Michio offered with a smile on his face. Sure he was concerned for the girl, but this offered him an oppourtunity to spend some more time with Talli. And his time spent with Talli so far, had proved to be more then entertaining.

Talli smirked. "I'd love for your company, but I wouldn't want to drag you away form your new best friend!" She gave a playful smirk and tossed some of her red hair over her shoulder in a flirtatious manner. She went to take a step back from him and make it look like she was leaving.But only ended up tripped over her own feet. She tumbled back a few feet and landed roughly on an old tombstone. her hair ruffled and her face just as bright as her hair. Her brown yes went wide as she giggled trying to cover up her embarrassment. "Guess that plan was a bust..."

Michio hopped off the stone. His eyes traveled down to the lightly-colored gravestone and the ever-fading name that was printed in neat letters on it. He tapped the top of it a few more times. "I honestly don't think Colonomos here would mind all that much." Michio's dark eyes traveled around the graveyard, and they ran over the seemingly endless number of gravestones located there. "It looks like he's got plenty of company. Maybe he can meet a nice lady ghost."
Michio chuckled a bit as his eyes turned back to look at her. He couldn't help but to chuckle as he saw Talli sitting on the ground with messy hair and a color-changing face. He would have made an attempt to catch her, but he hadn't been paying adequate attention. He smiled as he watched her face go from it's normal color to a bright pink/red color. "You're falling for me already? Jeesh, we haven't even been on a date yet." His tone was joking, and he smiled down at her. He offered her a hand to help her up. "Yeah, that plan was a bust. Looks like you're stuck with me, at least for now."
After she was steadily on her feet again he motioned down the road. "Shall we?" He paused for a second and looked the opposite way down the road. His face twisted into one of slight confusion. "Wait a second, do you have any idea which way we go so we can get out of this place?" He tried to remember which way he had come from, but his mind kept drawing an extremely unwelcome blank.

Talli great fully took his hand and let her face return to its normal pale shade.She stood up and brushed off her tight jeans/. She rubbed furiously at a developing stain but in the end just gave up. "Oh woe is me...I'm stuck with you!" She stuck out her tongue in a mocking manner. Her eyes went wide as she realized not only did he not know how to get out of here... neither did she. Talli chuckled nervously as she tightened her grip on his hand, then her bright eyes going wide she released it and clutched desperately at her own. Talli tended to get...really nervous. "Heh, I have no idea how to get out of here...."

Michio had been so concerned with finding their way out of there that he didn't realize he was still holding onto her hand. Of course, I'm not paying attention when something like that happens. He mentally scolded himself for worrying about that so soon.
He frowned a bit when Talli told him that she didn't know how to get out of there. He turned his head one way looking into the pitch-black darkness, and then down the other way that in Michio's eyes was equally as menacing looking. Damn you short-term memory!
"Well, it looks like our choices are really really dark right way, or really really dark wrong way..."
Michio looked back and forth each way again before letting out a sigh. He had never been a big fan of the dark. But everyone was afraid of the dark at least a little bit. He grasped Talli's hand again and began walking in a random direction. How lost could they honestly get? It was a really small island, so how big could their cemetary have been? If only things were that easy...

Talli gripped his hand as he led the way. She stayed as close as possible pushing herself against his siude. "You know we could like walk off a cliff or something..." Her light brown eyes widened. Nervously she tugged on a piece of her vibrant hair. "Uhm... don't laugh at me...but I'm terrified of the dark" She gave a nervous laugh, and tried to not realize how much of an idiot she was. She wasn't 5 years old, she shouldn't be afraid of the freaking dark!!! She continued following him, no matter how much she wanted to turn around and hide.She couldn't. That pull was abck. Touching him only increased it, she couldn't help but to trust him.To want no NEED to be near him.

Michio kept his grip tight on Talli's hand. He couldn't help but to smile as he felt her press up against his side. He laughed a little bit. If you were paying close attention to his laugh, you could sense just a bit of nervousness. Michio couldn't tell if he was nervous about being in a dark cemetary, or if it was being in a dark cemetary with Talli. Either way the dark cemetary part reared it's ugly head.
"I doubt there's going to be a cliff in a cemetary. Maybe a pond. But swimmings always fun" He tone suggested jest. But there was a tiny bit of shakiness found in it. He couldn't help it. Cemetary's always creeped him out, and right now he was extremely freaked out. Michio was just glad that it was Talli here. It would have sucked horrifically if he was with some random person from a club, or even worse if it was his sister.
He manuevered his hand and laced his fingers with hers and gave her hand a light squeeze as she told him that she was afraid of the dark. He slowed his pace a bit. "Don't worry about it, I won't laugh at you." He paused and smiled kindly at her even though he knew that she couldn't see him. "Everyone's a little afraid of the dark. It the whole thing with not knowing exactly where you are." Surprisingly when they learned about fearsa, and the common fear of the dark was the one day that Michio had actually been paying attention in his psychology class.

Talli laughed and felt herself grow a bit more confident as his fingers laced with hers. "You know for being scared yourself, you pull of confidence well." she looked up at him, even thought it was dark she could still clearly make out his facila features. "I guess that means you're a good liar." She stopped and looked around. "You know....that crypt looks a little familiar." She looked around then a confused look pasted her delicate features. "I came in somewhere over here."

Michio nodded a bit and smiled down at her. "Well, someone has to get you out of this place safely, right?" He paused for a second and still not knowing that his expressions were visible to her, the the corners of his lips turned downwards slightly into a frown. He had never really thought how many lies he had told people previously. But the amount of lies he had told people just in the past 24 hours was almost astonishing. Mind you, most of the lies were unimportant and directed towards his sister or his troll of a statistics teacher, but they were still lies none the less.
He turned his head to look at the crypt she had just mentioned. It wasn't an easily forgettable crypt. It was dark and eerie looking. Michio didn't really want to get any closer to it than they already were, but he figured that they were going to have to. Out of the corner of his eye he could have sworn he saw a dimly lit street light. His white slip-ons made a small squishing noise as he stepped onto the damp grass. His hand still clung tightly to Talli's as he started walking towards what he assumed was a streetlight. He stopped walking for a second and turned his head back to look at Talli. Using a tan hand he pointed towards the only light he could see.
"Can you tell if that is a street light?"
