Revy stood at the top of the hill, her sword drawn. She was slashing, and parrying, and dancing about as if she were in a fight, but she was completely alone on the hill. Panting and sweating she finally stopped and pointed the blade at her imaginary opponent, "Now you die. Kill'em all, Jakkaru." The gunblade in her hand became a large silver pistol, while a matching black one appeared in her left hand. She fired a shot and then began to run. She performed a dizzying array of acrobatic moves, firing the while, she flipped and spun, ran and jumped, and changed direction so fast anyone watching could easily have lost track of her. stopping once again she pointed the black gun behind her, "Whaddya want?" She growled.

Akira laughed again,

"Yeah... She's pretty alright but she's real scary when she gets mad."

Akira took another sip and smiled to himself.

I sure am glad I went with the big jug...

Jr smiled and looked at Aklira and said.

"So your weapon. What is it? Its as strange as Revvy's over there. I am no stranger to firearms. But I have never seen their like."

He poured more sake and drank.

Akira glanced down at his zanpakutou again and then back to his now empty cup.

"ohhh..... Yeah, she doesn't really look like that... I sealed her up like that so I could use her without using the blade... She's too blood thirsty for me, this way I can keep her i check... Plus this way if i swing her around without un-sheathing her the saya won't go flying off"

Akira took the jug back and refilled his glass. He gave it a quick swirl before taking a long sip.

"You're one to talk though... Nito sets are the rarest zanpakutou of all..."

Jr brow furrowed. He was obviously confused at the term Nito. He poured more sake and said.

"Sorry for my ignorant question. But what the hell is a Nito set. I keep hearing that about my captain's swords. Hell I'm still getting used to the idea of guns.........Your not Japanese either are you?"

Jr looked rather embbrassed by what he said after he said it. He face grew red as he drank his sake.

"Ohh... no problem. It means two-sword Ni is two and to is a generic term for a sword, To be fair yours and Kyouraku's should technically be reffered to as a Diasho since they're matched sets of a katana and a wakizashi... "

Damn when did I get so scholarly?...

"But all that boring technical stuff aside... You're right I'm not Japanese , I'm from Chicago originally... but I died in japan so I ended up here."

Akira shrugged and took another sip,

"Honestly you only here that stuff because of how rare your swords are, Before you the only ones like them I'd ever even heard of are Kyouraku's And Captain Ukitake's... And if I remember it right Captain Ukitake's only become a pair when he uses his shikai..."

Jr smiles He looks thoughtful for a second as if deciding whether to tell him something or not. He nods his head and speaks.

I dont know if ya can tell. But I'm not Japanese myself. And I was a samurai when I was alive. I fought with them when they chose to fight to stay Samurai."

He look at his sword as if sad. He shakes his head and drinks more sake.

"Wait... So you mean to tell me you're not Japanese?! I never Would have guessed..."

Akira grinned at Jr, pleased with his joke despite its obvious stupidity. Despite his antics he noticed a look of unease cross Jr.'s face while he looked at his sword.

"Now I don't mean to pry but you don't seem to be too happy with your zanpakutou... Do you two not get along?"

As Akira waited for Jr's answer he poured himself another glass and stared off at the sky...

I love days off... Too much work to do at the 4th sqaud... I really miss those easy days.. But still, I guess I should be thankful to Captain Unohana...

Jr looked at his swords and smiled slightly. He looked at akira and said.

"No we do actually. He was my best friend when I was alive. It just that it reminded me of my fellow samurai that died like ronin instead of samurai. I died with honor among them. Though I did not deserve it. We could not stand up to the new gatling guns. We were no more than insects to them. They were nothing but a bunch of common peasants and conscripts."

Jr was obviously upset by recanting the tale and the memories he was experiencing. He did nothing but drink more

Harsh...

"I'm sorry to hear that..."

Akira looked down, at Jr. and then at the saki jug...

He seems pretty down... And I'm not the type who's good good at being deep or sympathetic... Hmm... I think I've got an idea though... Besides if he keeps moping it'll ruin the atmosphere...

Akira refilled his glass and without a word refilled Jr's as well,

"Dead is dead.. we can't change how it happened and most don't get to go out the way they'd like... So it's best not to dwell on it... It's better to drink in their name and think about the good times instead..."

With that Akira raised his glass with his left hand still holding the jug in his right,

"Heres to friends gone and good days past..."

With that Akira tilted the jug in front of him and poured a good mouthful onto the ground before downing his glass in one go.

Damn... the jug's half gone already...

Jr nodded and solemnly pours his sake into the dirt. He looks to akira and says.

"I got two questions for you. One what was america and japan like in your time? And two why change your name?"

He smiles as the sake starts to get to him.

"hmm... I guess I'll start with the easy one... I changed my name to fit in better... made it easier for people to pronouce and stuff like that"

Akira took a second to pause and looked pensively at his drink...

"Now the real world is a bit harder to describe... With what you were talking about I'd guess that you diead around the end of the 19th century or so... Now I've only been dead for thirty years or so and the last time I was in the real world was over five years ago... Frankly not a ton had changed in that little time span..."

Akira paused again and took a sip while he reflected briefly...

Last time I was in the real world I was still in the 8th... I wasn't even seated then... Damn... It's been longer than I thought...

"But so much happened between the time you died and the time I died that I wouldn't even know where to start... The spirit library's got a section on human history, you'd be better looking off there... That and it's been a long time since I even thought about that stuff and I told you would probably end up being wrong."

Akira took another drink and not wanting to disappoint Jr he quickly began to speak again,

"though if you've got some specific things you're dying to know about I could probably help..."

Jr squinted as he spoke. making every word intentful and clear.

"What to happened to the samurai? And why are her guns so different from the ones im used to? I was a Captain in the union military and the best weapon we had was the winchester. The way of the sword still ruled in my day. Hell there has been many times I have used a cavalry saber in combat. And what other advacnements have come and gone since my time?"

He stopped speaking as he waited for a response.

"Well humans have a remarkable talent for creating bigger and better ways to kill each other so that would explain the guns... Though I'm pretty sure Revy's guns are the shikai form of her zanpakutou..."

Akira paused after this to refill his cup and take a long sip...

he's not gonna take this next part well...

"The samurai... Well after japn opened it's borders the samurai life style became outdated and impractical... Some of there traditions still exist in the martial arts but that's about it..."

Akira paused again to let what he had said sink in a bit...

"As for other advancements... A lot of the stuff they taught you about in the academy, cell phones, computers and stuff like that all exist in the real world as well... there's other stuf too... Pretty much every one rides around in motorized vehicals and there are ones that fly too."

Jr scowled as he heard the news about samurai. He stands up and says.

"I know of the computers and cellphones. Though it is utter madness to think man can fly. If we were meant to fly we would have been born with wings. Though I am confused what do these vehichles require as food. And why as war lost all honor? But enough of this its as you said in the past. I will still hold on my samurai ways. I can do at least that much for my comrades."

Jr smiled and thought for a moment. He looked to them both and said.

"Do ya'll care fo a friendly scrap?I'd like to see what a fellow american has got. I would hate to see my people become......Soft.

He smiled and put his hand on his sword but waited for them to respond.
