Open to one please, or i get lost. ^__^'
School had just gotten out when Keira made her way towards the mall. Though she had no money to spend the air inside felt good as the heat of the coming summer, and considering her living quarters in the woods right now...well. Everyone was allowed to dream right?
She wandered around, finding small locally owned stores here and there to stop in and look. One store was full of charming antiques and Keira made a mental note to remember it for later when she got a job.
A job. Right. She really should be finding one, but with classes she was so busy about passing she hardly cared whether or not she had one just yet. She had been surviving in the woods this far. Plus, most animals had good sense to stay away from a shape-shifter and finding food was easy when you were a tiger.
Shaking her head she made her way down to the food court, sitting at one of the tables. Reaching into her school bag she grabbed and book and leaned back into the chair. She should be studying, but right now the heroine in this novel was far more interesting. Now, hopefully no one would disturb her...

Tsukiko looked up from his book when he noticed all the school kids coming to shop. He sighed heavily hoping they wouldn't make to much noise so he could read in peace and probably be able to finish his book that he started the other day. He glanced around wondering if his sister was looking for him but he didn't see her bright red hair. But what caught his eyes was a girl with bright green hair instead. He had been sitting at the table next to her when she sat down. He chuckled softly thinking to himself remembering when he was in school. He went back to reading when he heard the familiar sound of a book opening. He glanced at her as she took the book out and started reading. His dark red eyes glanced at the cover of the book as she read, since he was curious on what she was reading. A small smile appeared on his lips as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
"Nice choice. That book is good. Ive read it at least three times."
He said to the girl smiling at her in a friendly manner. He figured she was just trying to find a nice place to read in quiet like him but he couldn't help but talk to her when he saw the book she was reading. He placed his own book on his table calmly as he took off his glasses, so he could see the girl properly.

(Oh good. You use small text. I refrain cuz people yell at me for it)
Keira jumped slightly, hearing a voice float in her direction. Setting the book down carefully she looked up to see a red-haired young man sitting to the table adjacent to her own. He too had a book, and upon peering she could see it was by a favorite author of hers. Smiling it took her a moment to realize that he had said something to her and her face flushed.
"Oh, this? I've read it before too. The storyline is quite capturing, and i love the main characters, especially Jared." she smiled, thinking of the comic relief. Of course Jared died in the end of the book, as was always the case with Keira's favorite characters.
Looking at him, she noticed he almost reminded her of how she'd pictured Jared, and he was kind of cute, though that was besides the point. Then her senses picked up on something else. This young man wasn't human. The thought piqued her interest and she smiled. "And your book. Andreos Roberts correct?" she asked, her violet eyes reflecting the light as her tiger form would.

(i dont mind using it... plus it helps me figure out how much i really wrote...) Tsukiko nodded and smiled more. He turned some to see her more easily and leaned slightly on the table. His dark red eyes quickly notice that she wasnt human and his sensitive sent told him that she was a were-tiger. Another were-animal around these parts where nice to have since what had happened a few years ago.
"Yes it is. But i hate it that they kill Jared off. He was a great character."
He calmly tapped his book and sighed softly. His eyes slightly glowing a brighter red but they still had a gentle look in them.
"Good eye. I'm glad to see another one of Andreos Roberts readers around these parts. Yes i am reading one of his books. Its one of my favorites by him. In fact this is one of the very first copies they made and that he signed. I was lucky to find it."
He said smiling more, watching her calmly. He noticed quickly as a few high school girls where watching them talking. He ignored them as they chartered to each other quietly. He was able to hear them even though they where so far away. He tried to block out their annoying voice so he could continue talking to the girl in front of him.

It took her a moment, but when she saw the red to his eyes and smelled again she was certain he was a vampire. Not fully, though. Still it was nice to meet someone who wasn't human. Putting a bookmark into the book she grabbed her bag and moved over to his table, hoping she wouldn't scare him off by being so prompt.
Mostly it was because she could hear the girls in her class giggling about how he was out of her league. Honestly she could care less. If those petty human girls even knew what he was they'd run off with their tails between their legs. Metaphorically speaking that is.
Getting back to the topic at hand she grinned. "I always thought so too. But i suppose there is tragedy in almost every story." she thought a moment. Kind of like life...Bringing herself back to the present she almost thought of kissing him right there. Or smacking him, whichever came first. "You have a signed copy? I'm jealous." she said, matter of factly. Holding out her hand she rinned wildly. "I'm Keira, looking to be a future writer myself."

(why would she smack him?)
He watched her calmly still smiling as he moved his small book bag out of the way so she could sit next to him. He had glanced over to the high school girls and gave them a look that said get lost but in a nice way. And once they saw that look they quickly left with out a word. He looked at the girl sitting in front of her
"That is true. Its is not a true story without a tragedy that occurs in it."
He said noticing that in her minds eyes she was lost in thought. He nodded slightly to her question and smiled more, showing his white normal looking teeth. He shook her hand gently, his skin being very warm, which was unnatural for vampires to have.
"Thats great. Im Tsukiko, I own a book store here, just a few stores down from here. My shop sells old books, new books, oldest and the newest music. But i cant wait to sell your books. Yet this particular book took a very long time to find. Someone ordered it but they never came in to pick it up. Its been over 3 years since i found it."
He said with a sigh as he handed her the book calmly. He watched her calmly as he leaned in his chair slightly.

Keira chuckled. This man, Tsukiko...he was quite a character of that she was already certain. He was also quite the charmer. Couldn't wait to sell her books eh? Her grin took on a feline quality. The fact he even owned a store full of books was enough for Keira.
As he handed her the book she set it down on the table carefully. Opening it she fingered the pages lightly, brushing her fingertips across the soft manilla colored paper. For being an older book it was in surprisingly good condition. There, at the top was the signature. With a small sigh she handed it back.
Putting her own book back into her bag she stood up. "Alright. You sir, are taking me to your bookstore." she said, her eyes lighting up at the prospect. Not to mention she wanted to ask about what he was exactly. But speaking of that in the open wasn't always a smart idea.
Realizing how straight-forwad she was being she looked at him almost shyly now. "I-I mean if you're ok with that. Sorry i got caught up in the moment." she laughed, leaning on the table.

Tsukiko took the book back and placed it in his small book bag before standing up. He slide the black fabric strap over his opposite shoulder and moved the bag slightly so it was on his hip instead of behind him. He looked down at Keira slightly since he was at least a foot taller then her. He noticed the feline smile and smiled back. His mind wandered into his old memories, remembering someone dear to him that had the same smile as Keira did. They had the same glint in their eyes he noticed quickly before shaking his head some to fake moving his hair out of his eyes some. He had to forget about that someone and he needed to start anew he knew that but it hurt him inside to forget all the memories. He nodded slightly chuckled softly to her as to keep his deep thoughts out of his mind right now.
"I don't mind. I need to be heading back anyway but don't worry about its ok."
He said as pushed his chair in and took a step to the side to let her pass by him since his store was that way. He had glanced around quickly to see if his sister had been around which she hadn't which was surprising.

Keira smiled up at him, noticing a flash in his eyes. Something was wrong there, but she wouldn't press it for now. After all they had only just met. There would be time for such trivial matters later.
Walking up behind Tsukiko, she looked around the mall as they walked. Creating light conversation for the way she ventured. "So, whats the name of your store?"
