Troy, Alabama
November 8, 2009
"A guy that can control his skeleton, and doesn't die." Kuro said to himself, his arms crossed behind his head. His wounds had all but heals from the fight a few days prior. He had formed a new scar though, crossing his left bicep. He sighed deeply, "Been walking for the past three days, and I am just about out of the supplies Roxanne gave me." he said.
He walked into a small town, just another abandoned city, empty roads and silence. Kuro was never a fan of big city noise but this silence was stating to bother him. He walked towards an old farm house sitting on the corner of the road tossing his bag on the steps and siting next to it, he began to dig through it looking for something that didn't need to be heated to eat.
"Well its between tuna, or cold ravioli." he cringed his face thinking about it. Then tossed both in the bag, "I miss real food." he whined as he dropped his head back on the porch closing his eyes.

Revi was sitting inside reading through one of the newer anatomy books he acquired from what had remained of the towns library. The title was Gray's Anatomy, but as he read through it he was struggling making heads and tails of it all. Though as he began to become immersed in the images of it he heard noise outside, and his eyes narrowed.
Slowly he stood and reached for his shotgun, one of two things he thought to himself, it was either someone coming to bother him, or dinner. The shaggy man in worn out jeans and a dirt covered white t-shirt from the mornings dig walked out front kicking the door open and pointing the shotgun "Who the hells that?!" He roared.
He then looked down at the stairs, and was a bit confused the man was not in a suit or fatigues, or any sort of conventional wear for the government. He tilted his head, but kept the barrel trained on the other "Just what the hell you doin in god's land?" he said cracking a slight grin. The entire moment playing out in his mind was amusing.

As the man busted through the door Kuro's mind instants went to "Damn it" he sighed as the shotgun came right into his face. The man standing in front of him was in no way a "good looking" fellow, he was dirty, shaggy and just over all unappealing to look at, but Kuro was always of the friendly sorts, "Howdy there friend, name is Kuro, I was just traveling through. I thought this house was abandoned so I took a brief rest, now that I see it is not I will get going." he went to sit forward.
The wraps long his right arm became snagged on one of the loose nails hanging from the porch, exposing the base of his armored wrist. Not noticing it, he continued to stare down the barrel of the gun, "Not like this is the first time this has happened."[/i] He thought in his head letting out a sigh. He pulled on his black shirt readjusting it now the he was standing. He then looked to his bag, "Mind if I grab that partner?" he asked pointing to it.

Revi sighed, and shrugged as he pointed the shotgun to the ground "Go for it.. just know don't try anything funny..." He said slowly. The situation seemed kinda funny, and as it would turn out he watched the man and saw a shine come from the broken wraps, and he tilted his head.
Revi noticed how the form fitted along the wraps, and his eyes narrowed some "Just who are you?" he asked curiously. Revi hadn't seen something like a man who hid metal in his arm, or whatever it had been that was under the wraps. Just for safe measure Revi's knuckles began to narrow out only stopping right before they would tear the skin. His mind willed it and knew the limit of where it would be before the tear just to keep himself under wraps and his abilities unknown.

"No worry, just grabbing my things." Kuro said looking at the man. He was more comfortable about the situation once the gun left his face and pointed to the ground. He hated guns, something created just to take anther's life, it bothered him. As the man's head tilted he reached foward grabbing his bag with his right hand, the shine from the armor hitting him in the eye, "Damn it," he thought, "We all know how understanding the southerners are about something different." as he pulled the bag back he re adjusted the wrap covering the armor once again.
As he asked he smiled again, "Names Kuro, Kuro Boushi." he said offering his left hand, "I'm just passing through, I'm looking for a young man named Revi something, I can't remember it exactly but I over heard some people talking about him and I was interested in a conversation with him." Kuro continued his smile.

Revi followed his words and movements eyes tracing each moment, and then the man wanted to shake hands. Revi looked at the man somewhat annoyed, as he extended his right hand "We shake with right hands." He said. He would wait a moment before addressing the other issue of this not being some government man after him but a seemingly all new type.
Revi dropped the gun and scratched the back of his head with his left hand, as he knew it wasn't even loaded just there to scare. He sighed "What would you say to this Revi guy? And what makes you so interested in him?" He asked curiously. Revi had not wanted to have to put up with some type of bull about joining some cause like the military had if anything from the looks of it the guy was strong maybe a guy like he was, just looking to fight and Revi happened to be the man to seek for it.

Kuro sighed to himself as the man offered his right hand, and didn't take his left, "Damn it" retracting his left his, he offered his right. "No one else is around here anyways, what if he finds out worst that happens is I keep moving." He took the man's right hand and shook.
"I was told he has talents, talents that if swayed in the wrong direction may get a lot of people hurt. I wanted to talk to him, and well make sure he didn't get swayed in that direction without hearing from me." Kuro kept a grip on the man's hand smiling and speaking softly as he said this. He looked down at the man's hands, the were oddly free of damage for, from what he could tell, living off the land like this man appeared to do. Noticing this he looked the man over slightly better, he appeared to actually be in perfect condition, not even a scratch.

He nodded, and shrugged as he released the hand "Well I guess you found him, but that's a rather non amusing reason. I was hopin' you would be like some tough guy wanting to scrap with the look of yah." he said in a low voice. Revi then looked around a bit, and shook his head "But if its for reasons like this I'll have to tell you to go the hell away I have no interest in this entire fight anyone has going on.. I fight for myself since I am strongest around." He said nodding.
That was Revi's way he would not follow or join anyone if they where not strong enough to beat him, and with him being a god he was unbeatable. Revi then waved and turned for the door, stopping a moment as he bent down to get his gun "Please be on your way." he said in a somewhat depressed tone.

"Your Revi, the healer." Kuro had been told the man had been shot, stabbed, burned and countless other fetal attacks and he kept coming. If Levi had the chance to get someone of his level of healing on his side that would cause a large problem for the normal people. "Hear me out, I don't want you to fight for me, but with me. I wanna try and bring a good name to users and maybe one day get us accepted and be able to live normal lives." Kuro tried to explain.
"I's a user as well" Kuro pulled the wrap off his arm his armor shinning in the sun, "I'm not here to ask for you to fight someone for me, or do my work for me but simply to help me in my cause." Kuro said bending the arm several times, then tucking his thumbs into his pockets, "What do you say, Revi?" he asked again.

Just as he had the shotgun in his hands the man began to speak, about some other guy named Levi, and this fight and acceptance. Revi grit his teeth, as he stood up back still to the man "I will not join sides with anyone who plans to lead without being stronger then me, and you assume this Levi is stronger then me? you assume you are stronger then me?" He said annoyed.
Revi slowly turned eyes aflame "Acceptance no longer matters to me.. people are to scared bitter and hateful to accept those with abilities.. I know from experience. And I God knowing their free will can't do a thing to sway them." He said nodding. But this anger from the man speaking so valiantly like his speech would be enough Revi was best communicated to through the heart not mouth so many people could spout such things. He then grinned, as he flung the shotgun at the other man's chest "Think fast!" He yelled out.

"Its doesn't take a stronger man to lead, simply someone with ideals people can get behind." Kuro said back to the man as he ranted about Levi and Kuro being stronger than him. "I don't think this is going very well."[/i] Kuro thought to himself.
As the man tossed the shotgun, Kuro brought his arm down on it breaking it to pieces as his right arm crushed it in the air. "We have all gone through hard times because of our gifts, but don't you think we should try and fix it before another generation has to go through the same thing.?" Kuro shouted at the man. "They need someone to protect them, they need a hero that can defend them from the harshness that is heading their way if someone doesn't do something." Kuro clenched his fist then thought about what the man had said, "And if you consider yourself a god shouldn't you protect those under you from the harm heading their way." he stared Revi down.

Revi watched the man, and smiled seemed his guess of him being a strong guy was right, but still he spoke to him. Though Revi didn't like words like his they made sense, and Revi simply shrugged "It is of their free will to do as they wish... I am simply here to enjoy myself through beating people's asses." He said nodding.
Revi was indeed a simple man he found life worth living as he had through fighting and eating, and in his free time working on the crops and studying. Though he sighed once more "Kuro... I usually hate to communicate through words so much, but you must understand that.... well that though what you say is nice and all I just don't see it happening in the end. And well... Just one punch all you got... lets see ow strong you are." He said grinning.

"I'm not one to fight to prove a point." Kuro said, he wasn't in the mood for a fight he had spent the past few days recovering from a rather nasty run in with a knife and he just wasn't in the mood. "I don't see why you are so interested in fighting to prove a point, no matter the turn out you still have to make the decision." Kuro said not wanting to get into it with a healer, they were always a pain to fight.
"And how does hurting others make you happy? How can you even claim to be god like if that is how you act." Kuro was getting annoyed with the man's goal to simply hurt people, "Your no god just a bully." Kuro sighed, he was hopping things would have gone differently running into him, maybe even get him on board.

Revi shook his head "You misunderstand the true nature of fighting... the joy is not in the pain you cause, ore get, but the words you convey through your body.. the communication between people through their body's are just.. well its the best thing you can see.. or experience." He said nodding. The thought of it made him glad he had experienced it many times he loved the communication all he learned of others through his travels.
And it ultimately forged the true intentions of others, and with that Revi spread his arms out wide "Just one punch all you got your heart soul and being let me hear what you truly feel for your cause the amount of your being that is behind it." he said nodding, and simply smiled a wide almost crazy smile.

"Free shot huh, you know what I have been having a bad couple of days and its not like its gonna hurt him to much, he is a healer right."[/i] Kuro thought to himself. I was one of his rarer moments where he was didn't mind hurting someone, normally containable but this guy was getting him aggravated.
Kuro climbed the steps, "Remember you asked for this." Kuro said to him as he got right in front of Revi. He pulled his right arm back, the armor shinning in the sunlight as it reeled back. He flung his arm forward with full strength, not holding back anything. The punch would have sent a car flying nearly thirty feet, let alone what it would do to a human body.
