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. |

Revy gave a predatory grin, "Like I said, if either of us had been to slow to dodge those attacks, too bad for them." She shrugged, "Seems to me we're on about equal footing, Jr and I, so why not push it to the limit? How else are we gonna get better?" She took a bite out of the biscuit, "And besides, we didn't come anywhere near killing each other. Look, not a scratch." She spread her arms. Finishing the biscuit, the listened to Akira say that he'd never been a fighter. Closing her eyes and lying back down on the grass she said, in an melancholy tone, "Trust me, Akira, you don't ever wanna do what I've done. In this life and the last one." |

Jr smiled as he ate the biscuit and he said after eating it in one bite. "I agree the life of a warrior is to push oneself to the limit. But you also must know the meaning behind things. Yes I am rather bored with the 8th. But I would rather be here where I can do the most good. I am no brute I would rather be among my equals in academic challenges not just martial. And I as well have seen many horrors of war. It takes something special to get in a mans face gut him and see his blood flow between your fingers,to see the light leave his eyes............." Jr got up looked to the sky looking sad and solemn. He was obivously remembering a great pain. |

Akira frowned and looked at Jr, "You sort of trailed off at the end there... Would I be correct to guess that the you're point about killing is that the special something is the ability to retain one's humanity afterwards? To not be consumed by it?" Akira turned to Revy as he gave Jr time to to finish his contemplation, I won't disagree with... I haven't seen what your life was like so it's only fair to acept your word as the truth... However all humans carry their own burdens, though it's true some are heavier than others... It's also fair to say that you've misunderstood me a bit... I can fight but I'm not a combat specialist as the way I fight isn't very well suited for attacking... On top of my bakudou specialty I'm also a master of Akido... It's a martial art that follows the way of peace and thus doesn't utilize any attacks of it's own. Instead the focus is on defending against and incapacitating an attacker... This makes it very difficult to utilize against opponents of your's and Jr's caliber as the techniques are to designed to end a conflict as quickly and efficiently as possible... Generally by breaking bones or destroying joints... And that creates a problem for me as I can't half ass it because it'll get countered and going full force can cause permanent damage... Bakudou is the same way... It's really no good for sparring... Frankly the only way I figure I could theoretically beat either of you would be to actually kill you... I don't think I've got anything less than that that could stop you..." Akira shook his head and smiled "Fucking alcohol... It always makes me get all philosophical... Well anways I'm sure as hell glad I'll never have to fight either of you for reall |

Revy drained another cup of sake as Akira spoke, her cheeks were begginning to take on a red flush, "That's what I meant when I said you're not a fighter. Jr and I, we're cast from the same mold I think. I enjoy combat for the sake of combat, and my view on it is this: if you're not willing to kill or be killed, keep your hands off a weapon." She looked at Akira, a far-away look in her eye, "Ever had to kill anyone who pointed a weapon at you, but had no idea how to use it and every intention of killing you with it?" The way she asked the question it was nothing more, a simpel question borne from idle curiosity. Her gaze, however, said it would be the deciding factor in some judgement or other. |

Akira looked perplexed at what Revy had asked him... "I'm not quite sure what you're asking... Are you asking if I've ever had to kill anyone who was intending to kill me with a weapon they didn't know how to use? Or if I ever had to use a weapon I was unfamiliar with to kill someone?" Akira poured himself another glass and took a sip, "If you intended it the first way then sort of, some idiot tried to mug me with a knife once... But that didn't work out too well for him... As for using weapons the first weapon I've ever used was my zanpakutou... And the only thing I've intentionally killed with it are hollows..." Akira took a pause to finish his drink, "What you said about being willing to kill is completely true... I am willing to kill if it is required... I just don't enjoy it..."

Jr shook his head and returned to the group. He looks at akira and answers his question. "more or less akira. But something else at the same time. It can only be experienced not explained. I had no choice but to fight when I killed for the first time. It did not go well for me afterwards. But being a warrior is more than killing. I remember the Shoalin monks that helped me train as a samurai. They were peaceful and yet even at my best I could not beat them. You would make a exellent Monk Akira." He sits next to Revvy his eyes wondering over her body. he shakes his head and quickly looks away. |

Akira smiled at Jr's comment, "You could be onto something Jr... If it weren't for the celibacy and the prohibition over that" Akira picked up the jug to refill his glass and sighed in disappointment as he realized it was empty... "Speaking of alcohol... We've got a little problem..." Akira held up the jug allowing the last measly drops to fall to the ground, "Either of you know any good bars?" |

Jr laughs rachously. He gets up and says. "I might have been some help in japan. But here I have no clue though I do have a good stock in my house if ya'll dont mind traveling there." He smiles as he prepares to go. Edited by Miyamoto Musashi, Nov 9 2008, 01:54 PM.

Akira furrowed his brow, "Damn... You've got a house? Fannncccyy.... I'm still stuck in the baracks.... Well anyways the night's just started... It's way to early to go home yet..." Akira smiled and looked over at Revy and Jr, "Plus yesterday was payday... I know a really high end place... If y'all are interested just follow me." With that Akira rose to his feet and gathered up his bag and Zanpakutou and started bounding off... "I know y'all can keep up! Lets not waste anymore time!" Akira smiled again and as his foot hit the ground he began his shunpo, bounding off the edge of the hill and towards the roof tops below... Continued Here... |
