Shun poked his little head out of his sweater, his ears twitching and his heart pulse rate increased, and his cheeks reddened along with his pupils dilating. The little rabbit child's wide eyes found the woman's face and a small smile found its way onto the little boys face. Reaching a hand up, Shun gently grabbed on the woman's legs and struggled to pull himself up, instinctively grabbing onto her shoulders, panting softly, catching his breath.. his... mannerisms were still developing.. Inhaling deeply in an attempt to calm himself down, shun closed his big eyes briefly and exhaled out all the shakiness, looking at the creature. "F-Find out how far.. I could go?.. I can't remember the reason I was even sent out here.. the cold winters blinked my mind out.." Shun cleared his throat sheepishly and looked down towards his wobbly legs, still holding onto the woman's shoulders for support.
When he decided to look up at the woman, he poked at the womans skull head dress; his breath coming short and fast, not sure whether it was because of fear or, curiosity. The boy just suddenly brought his lips to hers. the womans skin was warm, and her lips were softer than he had imagined. Suddenly Shun fell back, hitting his head on the grass, "I-I am so... so... sorry...... but thank you for saving my life..."
When did the boy become so bold...

The mysterious woman stood still as the child grabbed onto her legs and climbed to his feet. She continued to pass her hand over the moujuujin, but stopped when the boy placed his hand on her shoulder. Her hand dropped, resting beside her. In Shun's perspective, all he could see was the skull with painted eyes and a straight solemn mouth. There was no telling what she was thinking, or whether she could see at all. Even as the boy reached for the skull and poked at it, she had not moved or spoken. She knew what was coming, she could feel, just like she could sense his wavering legs, his rising heartbeat and the ragged sound of his breath. However, she would not intervene, it was a choice for the boy to make. An instant later, he did it. The saiyan leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. It was only after the fact that the boy recognized his mistakes and retreated to the ground. The mysterious woman had not moved during the entire instance, she simply stood silently, ever the mystified being. It appeared that the boy was misled by her wise words, goading him to take the risk and discover how far he could go; unfortunately, that was not the meaning behind her words.
The mysterious woman resumed to comb the moujuujin's fur with her hands as if nothing had occurred. "Your eagerness is understandable, young things ought to want to grow, but all in due time. You may not know why or where your journey may take you, but one thing is certain, it does not end here. Take this moujuujin with you, venture the world and learn of the wonderful pleasures this life can offer. You are both young and inexperienced, you will both grow in this journey and discover things about yourselves you didn't know."

The boy sat up and rubbed the back of his head, red as a rose.. Shun had made some pretty embarrassing mistakes during his time with his family: Ivan, AEVA and Zero but this went completely south, completely opposite of what he had in mind.. He had hoped that he would garnish some sort of emotion out of the woman but that failed. Her lack of emotion and reaction had temporarily crushed his spirit; Shun also knew that it would not remain that way for long. The boy kept nervously scratching the back of his head, laughing in an awkward way.. you can see the embarrassment in his little face. The boy swallowed his pride and began to speak. "W-Wont you come with me? I'm sorry for the..... k-kiss, ahem... but it was the only way I knew how to properly thank you..." Shun sighed, his ears twitched and he tightened his fists, his nails digging into his palms. "I should have brought you some steak!..." His fist hits the ground, "But there was no steak around, darnit..." he whispered and sighed in a defeated tone. "B-but regardless.. y-your l-lips tasted n-nice..." Shun had stammered knowing immediately that this was not the right thing to say. Shun then brought his gaze towards the moujuujin a moment before speaking. He could only hope things wouldn't get any worse than this. "I-I will take the moujuujin and continue on my journey.. But will I ever see you again?.. I would like to get to know who you are and understand what you do.."

The mysterious woman brings her hand to her lips and giggles as the young saiyan contemplates bringing her steak. Little did he know, she was vegetarian. She observes the boy as he asks whether or not he would see her again, "Who's to say?" She responded. The mysterious woman turns and walks towards the lake, stopping at the edge to glance at her reflection. "I am a spirit, guardian of all living things in this world." The woman lifts her hand and studies it. "Wherever I go, creatures are allured by my presence. They feel safe, warm, and at peace. I don't condemn what you have done. Creatures are unused to my presence, it feels so alien to them that they mistake it for affection and love. I know not if we'll meet again, but know that I am watching." The woman turned around and smiled at the boy, her hands locked behind her by too fingers as she walked by the moujuujin and leaned on its hide. "I'm afraid our time is up. I must be leaving soon. Shun, maybe you should ride of this moujuujin's back? You might discover something which had been previously unknown..."

Shun springs up with all his energy and grabs the womans arm, "C-can I take a feather off your head dress?.. Just in case we never meet again I will always have you in my heart.. and I-I think I do love you..." The boy just did not know what he was saying... His eyes looked up at her and his hair gently blows on the warm breeze that flowed by. He was just frozen in place, looking at her arm. Shun trembled as he instinctively covered his face with his other hand. "I dont know what I am feeling honestly but I need something off of you to remember you by.. If you would just grant me that.." Shun releases her arm and steps towards the creature, waving and smiling. He whispered to it, "Dont worry pal... We will get lots of steak.. i promise you will love it!" The saiyan child looked at the woman, hoping she would give him a feather or something!

The mysterious woman smiled and shook her head. How could a boy whose lived his entire life in an enclosed room understand how love feels? The sensations he was experiencing were all new to him, and because of that she could sympathize with her feelings. "I know you think you do, Shun." As he releases her and turns towards the moujuujin, whispering in his ear, the woman instantly knew that they would be fine. From this moment on, the boy would form an unbreakable bond with the creature the thought of it warmed her heart. The moujuujin had been forced to a life of solitude and spine-chilling temperature, for once the beast would learn it meant to walk in the sun once again. Suddenly, another soothing gust of wind would brush over them as she spoke again, "Good luck, Shun. I know the two of you will make a great team..."
When the boy turned again to face the mysterious woman, she would have already disappeared. Gone like the wind. The saiyan was alone with the moujuujin, and resting on the beast's fur was a feather from her skullhead, just as the boy had requested. Within moments, the storm would penetrate their safe-zone and cover the land in snow once more. What would the boy do now?

Shun walked over to the beast and picked up the feather, smiling and blushing, 'Maybe theres a chance..' He thought.The young Saiyan began petting the beast's leg, smiling at it and then hugging it with his tiny arms. "We need to go somewhere safe.. Do you know anywhere?.. I feel like you know these wastes better than me hehe!" The little boy let out a cute snicker, climbing on the moujuujin's back. "You need a name.. hmm" Shun looks up and scratches his chin, His ears twitch. "Oh! how about Atlas?? That sounds pretty cool you know?" Shun was just so excited to have a friend out in the wilderness and plus the moujuujin's fur was keeping Shun warm and toasty. Shun remembered he had the feather in his hand and he put it in his hair, hoping to honor the mysterious woman with the display of deeds and heroics that is to come out of this adventure. Shun had pat the moujuujin's head and smiled at it, "Well pal.. Lets see what trouble we can stur up in the wastes huh? OH and food.. Lets see if we can find some good eats while we are at it!"

The moujuujin moaned, seemingly pleased with its new name. The blizzard had become fierce again and quickly covered the landscape around them. Just as Shun pat the beast's head, Atlas' fur began to drift serenely as his very feet took off the ground. In just a moment, they had been soaring into the air, climbing up Mount Hielo's freezing atmosphere. The breeze worsened, and there wasn't much to see thanks to the blinding storm of snow before them -but the moujuujin strived and conquered. Its fur kept it and the boy considerably warm despite the chilling temperatures. Its sense of direction was spot on as they soon ripped through the ostensibly endless storm and entered a bright and cozy sky surrounding by a large body of water.
From this height, the boy would discover that the frozen fortress was actually an island. Everywhere he looked, there was nothing but crystalline blue water as far as the eyes could see and white clouds scattered over a clear blue sky above. The icicles which had formed on the moujuujin's fur had begun to melt as they were basked in the light of the planet's two suns. Instead of a moon, orbiting around Lupin IV was a vast asteroid belt with rocks of many different sizes which could be observed clearly in broad daylight.

Shun's eyes widened, he has never been so high in the air before.. The boy threw his hands up and laughed as the rays of the sun hit his face. He was in a complete state of bliss! The sheer notion of him being able to fly and be in the air made him feel quite literally on top of the world. The child petted Atlas and hugged the moujuujin tightly, rubbing his face on its back and snuggling it. Shun looked around at all the beautiful bodies of water, the beautiful sky above and smiled widely as he looked at the asteroid belt. The boy appreciated the pleasant view that the moujuujin provided for him.
"Atlas do you know where we can sleep tonight??" he asked while looking down at it.

The moujuujin simply moaned as the young saiyan asked it whether it knew a place to sleep. Whether that moan constituted as a yes or a no was anyone's guess. Regardless, they would remain in the air for about an hour before the sight of land was caught at the horizon. Below them, there was a large green forest over a cliff which separated the mainland from the ocean, as the waves crashed against its side. If one looked further beyond said forest, the boy would spot a small village, a nearby river extending from the forest, and dirt roads. Wherever the boy decided to go, there would no doubt be new adventures waiting for him to discover. -But choose carefully; for, while some may be safe, other's can be just as dangerous...

The boy looked down, surveying the area.. A huge forest or... a small city... There were decisions to be made. He couldn't keep flying in the air forever, the boy needed rest. He knew he had to choose. But, which one would be beneficial? How did he know which one would be safe for him and his companion? Shun had looked up to the sky... And so he sat, yawning, in the sunlight and contemplated his options while hoping for some sign to tell him which way to go towards.
The choice was now obvious... "Lets go to the town! They might have friendly people there Atlas!" Shun pointed to the small village.

The town it is. Atlas promptly descended towards the ground, landing at a wide section of the village where it could settle down comfortably on a patch of grass. It was a rather modest area with small businesses and recreational sectors. Although it was small, technology was still prevalent. The streets were paved with the occasional vehicle passing by, and sidewalks for pedestrians. Most of the villagers were Heran; blue skin and orange hair, however, there were a few konatsians as well. Moujuujin were well-known by all, although it was rare to see one landing in plain sight. Some of the inhabitants would stop and observe, other's continued with their daily routine and then the curious ones approached Atlas with fruits. The beast moaned and started digging in without a moment's hesitation as the heran patted its head. Overall, it looked like a peaceful town and Shun would most likely find a place to eat and sleep altogether!

Shun would carelessly walk up to the village folk with a bright smile and mousey aura about him, nothing is more precious.. and more at risk.. than a sense of wonder and a sense of possibility.. He would wonder what sort of foods could be instore for him. What new possibilities he could have with such an odd looking people.. And this state of his young mind is wholely enriched by him being so naive and young. Shun had always characterized by an inability to see negatives, a certain blindness to the true colors of a person at first sight, a disregard for.. barriers... For him, it is almost as if he was unaware of someone disliking or mistrusting him or them being just outright dangerous... And being blind to such things... well Shun will tend to run straight at it.. A naive state is what keeps the a child like mind alive, optimistic, energized and in the game.. Without naivete, there is more caution and less experimentation; more boring work and analyzing, and less learning.. Probably, but not most likely, there is also less real success. Or so he would imagine.. His less experienced mind is the driving power behind his risk, and without it, the boy is in danger of becoming a less creative and tactical when dealing with situations.. thinking out of the box...
"HI! My name is Shun and this is my Moujuujin! Atlas! hehe! I was wondering if you could spare a room and food.." The child giggled out and extended his hand to the folk, wanting to do a hand shake.

"Shun and Atlas, huh? Those are nice names." the heran commented, still patting the moujuujin even as the mysterious boy spawned from its back. It was rare enough to see a moujuujin running around these parts without its herd, but the fact that it carried a passenger along with it was even rarer still! The blue skinned man looked at the young boy, he soon felt his spine crawl as the first thing he noticed was the boy's long rabbit ears. His dilated eyes stared at Shun's extended hand as if he had seen a ghost and took a step back, staying out of Shun's reach. "S-Shun, was it? Heh, we have plenty of food and shelter! P-please, make yourself feel a h-hoooomeee!" the heran man turned tail and scurried off as if his life depended on it. Shun would discover that the carefree and welcoming atmosphere had dissipated. Everyone made themselves scarce; for some reason, those who remained, were considerably weary of the young saiyan's presence. A gust of wind would soon swift by, breaking the silence as a single leaf surfed the currents. The town was completely silent.

Shun looked in confusion at the person as to why they have a disturbed look on their face. The child would just stand there with his hand out and twisted his lips. His long rabbit ears jumped with excitement at hearing that there was plenty of food to go around and he and his new friend will have a place to sleep. Shun's face went back to a look of confusion as the man ran off like there was danger afoot... The boy turned and looked around, he saw no danger and shrugged, turning back to the now silent few heran people. He looked down as his hand and examined it. "Maybe it was because I did not wash my hands?... hmm.." The child then began to wander around the silent town, looking for something to do to pass the time and to figure out why everyone was dead silent and observing him.
