A Night with the Black Wind

On a windy night a dark figure looked down upon the light of the city, admiring the beauty of its glow.

The whole city of casino night was illuminated by street lamps, stoplights, and the neon lights on all of the buildings.

He loved the sight of the city but hated the sound of it, and thus when he found that hill that was close enough to overlook the city yet far enough to lower the sound level, he made it his own.

The only sounds he heard were the faint beats and thumps coming from the city, the sound of the leaves rustling above his head, and the sound of his soft breathing.

After a bit of uninterrupted silence he heard a feminine voice tear through his quiet peace,

"It's beautiful huh?" The voice commented.

For once he wasn't annoyed at the fact that someone broke his peace and quiet.

For once he was content in sharing something of his own.

"Yes it is." he stated not even caring who was next to him, just enjoying the fact that there was someone there with him.

To him her presence was like the one of an old friend who also looked down at the city with him, but with the oldest friend he ever had they looked down from a MUCH higher place.

"They told me that you were mean and anti-social guess they were wrong about you." she pondered.

"Who knows?" he replied with a smirk.

'That blue idiot talks WAY too much about me.' he thought to himself.

An awkward silence soon followed.

He finally turned to see a lavender feline standing next to him and realized that he didn't even know her.

She met his gaze and extended her hand "Blaze." she introduced herself.

"Shadow." he replied before hearing and seeing the others walking towards them.

"See ya." added Shadow and with that he disappeared in a blue flash.

"Yeah see ya..." whispered Blaze looking down at her hand noticing that her glove had disappeared with Shadow "For now..." she added with a smile.
