She staggered through the forest, head and ears ringing with an indescrible piercing noise penetrating her ear drums, vibrating them wildly and causing havoc to take over in her head.
She didn't know what it was, or what was causing it, nor did she know that she was the only one who could hear it. It was just there. Driving her mad. She felt as if she were about to burst. She felt like her ears were bleeding.
Maikki let out a strangled cry, slumping against the trunk of a tree as she gripped at her hair, tugging it, pulling it... as if it would make the noise go away. But it continued on persistantly. She was hyperventilating, chest heaving up and down, sweat perspiring along the side of her face.
Her eyes were wide, darting around hastily. She didn't know what to do. She was panicing. She wanted the noise to stop.
"Make it go away..." she murmured between pants.
"Someone... help..."
She dropped to her knees, curled in a fetal position, head between hands.
"Make it stop."

Omen stirred in his sleep, cracking his semi-dark blue eyes open.
He was in a tree - and someone was disturbing his sleep.
Obviously annoyed, Omen jumped off the branch, his hair tussled and messed, walking over to the girl who was causing the noise silently.
Looking down at the girl - who seemed to be in some sort of pain - he muttered a few words to himself almost silently.
"What's wrong with you?" He said in an almost emotionless tone; but it clear that there were hints of annoyingness.

Maikki cracked open one eye, the other squinted shut as she slowly lifted her head up, before closing both eyes tight.
She was confused though...
He didn't seem to be in pain. Could he possibly not hear the noise? But how could he not? It was so loud. So hurtful.
"Help me..." she murmured, reaching out a shaky hand. "Make it stop... Can't you hear it? The noise?"

Omen was tempted to sigh, but ignored it.
Right now, he presumed everyone in Mitsurei was crazy.
"No. I cannot," Omen said simply. How was he supposed to help when he had no idea what was going on?
He didn't help strangers, either - most of the time.
But at this point, all he really wanted was sleep. If he helped and she'd shut up, then he would williingly help the girl.

It was hard to understand what he was saying considering the noise piercing through her mind. But Maikki coiled far away from him, sitting up and leaning against the trunk of a tree as she continued to grip her hair, eyes shut tight, willing the noise to go away.
"Can't you help me?" she asked again, opening her eyes. They were hazed over with mist. It was becoming hard for her to focus on anything anymore.

"I will help you if you will shut up after," Omen said, his eyes following the girl, but not moving.
Omen, at that moment, was tempted to just knock her unconscious - at least then he probably wouldn't have the feel to help her in the morning.
Omen walked over, his pace even, silent.
"I can knock you unconscious if you do not lose your conscience now,"

"Then do it," Maikki muttered, shutting her eyes again.
"Just do it. I don't care what you do so long as you get this noise to stop."

Omen did the slightest of nods, before bending his knees to her curled-up position, his hand straight, flat, and knocked the girl behind her neck.
Ah, sleep would come soon...

Maikki looked almost relieved when seeing the darkness swallowing her vision whole, numbing her, and gradually muffling away that dreadful noise.
"Thank you..." she whispered, eyes closing as she slumped forward, falling limp.

Omen looked at the fallen girl, standing up again. Finally, silence. It was as if the silence welcomed him, and it was as if he could not hear anything now, except for the light hiss from the wind. Omen looked around; no one else was in sight. He glanced back down at the now unconscious girl, looking for a moment. Not bothering to think anymore, Omen took off his (stylish. ) black coat, just throwing it ontop of the girl, leaving him in a black t-shit, before easily jumping onto a good, sturdy looking branch on the tree, laying there, waiting for sleep to come and take him. His last coholorent thought was that the girl would not disturb him from waking in the cold.

---A little while later, after sleeping and all that---
Maikki shifted in her sleep, yawning, as she gradually became aware of her surroundings. And slowly she started to remember what happened...
She sat up, the coat sliding down to her waist as she looked around groggily, before glancing down at the coat. She shivered, and pulled it back around her.
Now where'd he go to...?

Rustling.
He had awoke from that, but had not moved. The girl mustv'e been awake.
Opening his eyes, his blinked once, adjusting to the light, before turning onto his side, falling off the branch, and landing with an almost silent thump.
Omen did nothing, though; he remained silent and still.

Maikki looked up when he jumped down. She stared at him blankly for a bit, before standing up slowly.
She didn't say anything either.
Instead, she slid the coat off from her shoulders and held it out for him to take back.

"Keep it until you're sure you will not catch a cold," Omen said abruptly, "That would disturb me more than you already have," He finished simply.
He valued the silence and his sleep; both that the girl had reduced by her shouting already.
If she caught a cold and found him, he would never be able to sleep, he was sure.

She shrugged, and brought it back around her.
"Suit yourself then," Maikki muttered, eyeing him curiously before looking away.
Now that she wasn't in pain anymore, she can return back to her normal, bitter, sullen, and quiet self. She sat back down, legs crossed Indian-style.
She would've said thank you, but that just wasn't her thing. She had already thanked him anywho, out of relief, mostly. Maikki cracked open one eye and looked at him again. He was a curious person. Very curious.
"What's your name?" she asked, out of nowhere.
