Slender fingers stroked the fine cords to the musical instrument which was that of a Guitar. The notes however were random and seemed to collide with another making a sketchy beat but to the ears of the youth who played they sounded unsatisfactory. A small sigh of indignation flew from his pierced lips as the cords became jumbled in his mind; the notes seeming to not come to him this night. The Guitar was held with both hands only the right hand held down the cords whilst the left strummed hoping to hit that perfect melody with a mixture of metal and various forms of rock. The first three verses matched each other well and complimented each other too. It was just the next few verses he would have to randomly come up with that would sound well together. Playing the first three verses over the figure bent his knees which were adorned in torn faded jeans that exposed random bits of his knees and thighs. What adorned his arms and upper half was that of two layers. The first layer was a short sleeved tight black shirt, the second being just a tight hooded cotton gray sweater which ended in folded back cuffs that reached past the middle of his thumb.
The youth continued on playing those three verses as he sat out on the beach, perching himself on top of a rock that looked over the beach. His torn pant legs draped over his bare feet, nearly covering his toes. Continuing to play his acoustic Guitar he felt the nice breeze tame over his frame, tugging and pulling at his hair and clothing lightly rustling it. The youth let his hands slide from the cords to where his slender fingers then ran through the thick layers of his own raven hair. His hair was styled strangely. The part was more to the left and his bangs were cut just below his eyes though only covered his right eye whilst the back was cut short, spiked up, and layered save for two long sections that reached his collar bone. But sadly he lacked the color his hair usually had. Even though this youth was of Japanese heritage though his skin was milk white, thanks to his American parent. His jet black nail polish seemed to match the raven hue of his hair as did the eye liner that lined the top and bottom lids of his eyes. The Asian youth gently leaned against the chain link fence and let his arms hang by his sides. His dark hazel eyes seemed to rest slightly as he seemed to go into a soft reminiscing state. The instant his eyes closed the image of a small boy dressed in traditional attire appeared brightly in his mind. His name, or was Tsubai. It had been so long since he had last seen that angelic face of his. Not since Japan. Kyoto to be exact.
He tried to break away from the thoughts of Kyoto, Japan but found that he could not. And so the memories flooded into him making him lower his head with a frown. The guitar clinked against the jagged surface of the rock but that didn't shake the youth from the horrid memories of that man. During the Jidai Matsuri he had met that horrible man but also he had met Tsubai. Thoughts of Tsubai and his unidentified attacker collided with one another making the Asian youth lift his pained gaze out to the ocean. That man could have done so many things to him.. and those words, oh how those words had scarred him. Luckily Tsubai wasn't there to witness this horrible scene first of his Mother's murder then the murder of his own dignity. That man's smirking lips drawing closer and closer to his own plus that strength he seemed to over power the Japanese youth with so easily, all of that was fresh in his mind to this very day considering how it had only been a year and a year since he last saw Tsubai's bright smiling face. As the unpleasant memories subsided Kiyo composed himself once again and took up the neck of his guitar. Instead he went back to playing it along with the three verses that he had made so far. His fingers held down and strummed at the cords but his fingers struck the wrong notes throwing off the original beat he had. Growling he ran a hand through his hair and licked at the bronze 'x' like piercing on his lower lip and tried to calm his mind.
Calming thoughts came to him in the form of Tsubai when they first met. He had kissed his cheek then stole the last peach without paying for it. Kiyo had lost him but encountered trouble of his own. After that they grew close, very close. Tsubai was a flirtatious youth whilst Kiyo was rather submissive surprisingly because he actually had strong feelings for Tsubai and those feelings haven't changed at all. His fingers began to strum the cords whilst the youth was in thought but surprisingly the next verses that played matched perfectly. Standing slowly from his perch on the flat surfaced stone he continued on playing and eventually began to make the lyrics in his head. The singer in his song would be none other than Tsubai and this brought a smile to his face. The youth began to move around a bit feeling the beat of his newly finished song. So as the Asian youth continued on playing, but when thoughts of Tsubai faded.. he strummed one string and held the note before he let his arms rest by his sides once again. His dark eyes fell upon the dispersing waves further down near shore and slowly he brought his knees close to his chest only to wrap his arms about them. His mind once again wandered back to Tsubai. He wondered how he was doing but that was a ridiculous question to ask. A pang of guilt and regret wove it's way into Kiyo's gut making the youth rest his head on his folded arms just peering out at the scenery about him.
