Jen had found yet another secluded area on the island, one of it’s few saving graces… at least you could be alone when you wanted to be, you just had to leave campus to do it. A small strand of beach stretched out to either side of her, the coastline calmly washing over the surprisingly clean and white sand over and over again in front of the girl.

A guitar was, as always, on her back, and a sheer top hung open over chest, revealing the black bikini top beneath. The top of the strings of her matching bikini bottom could be seen over the jeans that still covered her legs as she sat on a rock, pulling her guitar around her body and beginning to strum at it… she’d been trying hard to master a couple Hendrix songs but just couldn’t get them down. She’d spent the last week or so on one song alone, and just couldn’t get it to sound like she wanted.

Mamoru had been taking a rest down by the beach. He enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing near the shore. The sand was soft and warm. He closed his eyes and then he heard it. "Who has come out this far on the beach?" he thought to himself. He sat up and looked around. There was the disturbance. "Well this is a surprise" he thought as he stared at this girl. She was beautiful, and talented. "Nothing is finer than a chick with a guitar."

He continued to watch her until he finally decided to approach her. He stood up, brushed himself off, and headed her way.

The girl continued to play at her guitar for a bit, oblivious to the approaching stranger until he was nearly on her, her eyes closed and her mind intent on her playing. It was only when she paused that she heard the gentle footsteps falling in the sand nearly right next to her. The teen turned slowly and looked up, covering her eyes with a hand to shield them from the sun. “Hello?” She asks, unaware of another on the beach… the silhouette looked… different. Male. Something she’d come to distrust in the last few weeks.

"Don't stop on my account" Mamoru said in a solemn voice "I just wanted to see who could produce such a lovely sound." A true statement, but still he had another intention. "Just pretend I'm not here" he said with a smile as he sat down.
