London watched as both of her guest walked out the front door. "Should I go after them." she asked Morgan. Morgan stood up and walked over to her. He put his arm around her waist, and gently kissed her behind her ear. "I think you should do what you feel is right." he whispered in her ear. London smiled and turnd around to see his face. She gently kissed him then pulled away from him. "I'm going to go after them."

Ryuu sat outside of the building as he closed his eyes meditating. He could still feel the witch around though she wasn't any where close. He tried to keep his mind clear as he sat there.

Akio had already left the building and left for a nearby dojo, inside he began to train on pratice dummies with the fake sword, since if he had used his real one. He would've cut the thing in half, after a few minutes of that he backed away from them and shot them from across the room, each bullet landing perfectly in the center of the bullseye.

Rain stud at the entrance of the dojo as she watched the strange man. She grabbed one of the fake sword as she joined him. Rain closed her eyes as she meditated then began her paces doing them to perfection as she had been trained to. "To become stronger one must train with one better than ones self." Rain said in a clam voice as she continued her training.

"I'm not sure who your sensei was but thats not what I follow." Akio put his guns away back to his waist, and picked up his fake sword. He walked over to Rain but walked past her. "My sensei taught me: 'To become one with the sword in hand...is to become one with nature.'" he closed his eyes and imagined as he put his own soul into the blade, he swung the blade sideways and nearly cut the dummy in half, but failed to go all the way.

Rain ignored him as she took a quick swing at a dummy hitting it with accuracy and deadly force. The dummy fell to the floor then burst into pieces. Rain turned as she replaced the sword where it had been. She walked to where the dummy was and began to pick the pieces up. She then went to work and put it back together. "Sensei I had none nor have one. Training I have had. I teach myself what I need to know."

"Then I have no business with you." he left the blade in the middle of the dummy and walked over to get his real katana, he proceeded towards the exit and before left he turned around and shot the head of the dummy of his making it fall off. "You will find that teaching oneself and not learning from others will lead you down the path of destruction." he left the dojo and walked back to the building.

Rain felt strange as a slight laugh come from her. Though she didn't understand why she had no feeling. She stopped as she finished cleaning up her mess. She thought about his words and they where true. That is what she was a walking vessel of destruction. Purposely made that way by Crop. She wandered why all of a sudden she wanted to remember what she had been like before Crop. She wanted to have reasons to laugh again.

Once Akio had finally made it back to the building entrance he saw as Ryuu was mediating, he didnt bother him, since he knew to do that one had to have complete and uder slience. So he just walked back inside and went to go find the nearest restroom.

London walked out side. "fresh air." she looked around to see if she could see anyone. She then began to run. Her thought fell a pone the events of the evening as she recalled Akio talking about his family. She had a family once, they sold her to the serenity corporation. Tears began to fall down her face as she thought about it. They thought I would have a better life there but they were wrong. She got to the end of the street, and looked back.

Once Akio had found the restroom he stood in there looking at his own reflection in the mirror, while looking at it all he could see was a young child standing in the middle of a burning village crying over the death of his parents. The young Akio looked up at him. "You let them die....mom and dad are both dead, because of you." he said with an evil tone, Akio started shaking his head backing away from the mirror. "No...No! Shut up!! It wasnt my fault!!" he yelled falling to the floor and slowly still backing away. "You were too weak...mom and dad trusted you.." the boy walked out of the mirror and walked up to him.

((Hey guys, just jumping in here))

Meto walked through everything. It was like she wasn't there. That this was all just a badly made illusion that she had conjured. The walls passed through her along with human passerbies and everything else. She hugged herself and concentrated on making herself solid again. It was a hard effort and she failed. However, she could start to see herself more clearly. Yes, her limbs are reappearing again. How reassuring to be able to see oneself. Walking into another bustling building, Meto passed through several more walls. She had just walked into another boy. Only..this one wasn't a real boy. Another illusion? The boy was walking downwards to the floor in a way that no human could accomplish. He approached a frightened man who was sitting on the floor and crawling backwards in denial to the boys words. Oddly, Meto felt more solid in the presence of this man. Raising her hands, she fanned her box through the boy and the apparation parted like a mist that was being held together too long. Landing on the balls of her feet, Meto went up to the man to look at him fully in the face. Hello there, she thought, communicating through her mind. This man was not something ordinary so he should be able to hear her...

((welcome ^_^))

Akio sat on the floor holding onto his head looking at the floor being able to see Meto's feet. "No...I..I-I..It w-wasnt my fault...no...I--I couldnt do an-anything." As the younger version of him disappeared he couldnt take the fact that his former self was right, he was young, but all he could do was watch his own parents die in front of his face. "T-the....vi-village died....be-because....I was weak.." he said as entire body curled up into a ball and began shaking.

Meto was perplexed by the mans behavior. She patted the guy on the shoulder before opening her mouth. It felt strange having to speak with her mouth but this was no longer the realm. She said in a polite tone ",that's the past and this is now... If you're stronger than get over it to move on." Pulling at the guys arm, Meto tried to urge him to get back up. There was nothing as sad as seeing a man shake in fear. Well, except for a man crying that is. "My name is Meto and I'll be hanging around you for a while." She added.

As Meto touched his shoulder he began to stop shaking and look up at her. "I wish...I-I could get that through my head....It may be painful...but its all I have.." he wanted to forget about his past because of the pain it caused him, but yet he wanted to keep them near since he loved his parents with all of his life, they died when he was still so young. He slowly stood up and looked at her with a frown. "My name is Akio.....Akio Daishi.......w-why are you going to be a-around me?" he asked worriedly wondering what she was thinking about staying about staying around him for.

Meto grinned at Akio and held out her arms. "Strangly, I'm visible around you," she said gleefully. Meto added silently in her head that Akio should keep his strength in check as he was releasing enough energy for her to latch onto. Of course, informing him that may cut of her newly found supply so she decided to bypass mentioning it. "Would you mind?" she asked ",I'll try not to be a nuisance."

Akio got up and picked up his katana, he looked over to Meto and smiled softly. "You can follow me if you'd like...I dont mind." he said with a joyful little voice and walked out of the restroom, through his mind kept running the samething over and over again, wondering what she had meant by she was visible around him. He had believed in the energy in everyone known as chi, but his sensei never fully taught him to control or use it so what could be happening this time?

Meto hadn't taken notice of the sword until now but it didn't bother her that much. So this guy was someone who had bad enough enemies to persuade him to carry around a weapon? Walking after him, Meto increased her pace to match his steps as his legs were longer than hers. She had forgotten the disadvantages of being human. One being that you had to use energy to get to places. Her body felt completly solid now and she flexed her limbs to performed handstand to check on herself. Falling back to her feet, she smiled as she caught up to Akio. Meto made sure restrained herself from also questioning his destination and instead asked ",do you carry your weapon around because of anyone?"

As Akio walked along the hall trying to get back outside he looked down at his black sheathed katana. "This sword.....I carry it to find one person.....the realm walker who killed my family....and....my village....and kill him." he said with just the slightest bit of anger in his voice, he grabbed onto his black cloak and pulled it closer to himself to hide the guns, he didnt want them visible to anyone but himself.

As London was runing she spoted Akio. She ran up to him. " Akio! are you okay?" She asked him as she looked him up and down, just to make sure he wasn't hurt.

Akio had looked up at London but frowned. "Yes..." he didnt say anything else and looked back and noticed that Meto was seemingly still following him, then turned around again and kept walking away from her.

"Wait! Where are you going?" London asked a little confused. She looked back to see what he was looking at. "Whats going on? I'm worried about you." she said as she softly garbed for his hand.

Akio stopped moving as London grabbed his arm, but didnt turn around. "I'm...just going out....." he said calmly, he was lying to her. He was planning on leaving Ryuu, her and Morgan to search for the man who murdered his family and village and get revenge on him, he didnt want any of them to follow him because he didnt think it concerned them in anyway, it was his past, his pain.

"We can help you know..." she said as she let go of his arm. She was hoping he wouldn't walk away. "I want to help you Akio. You have a power you yet know of." she said as she just stood there. waiting to see what would happen next.

When Akio heard London about him having powers that were unknown to him, he started to squeeze onto his katana tightly remembering the strange child that looked like him coming out of the mirror, he started biting on his lower lip hoping that he really wasnt a realm walker. "My life is my own.....I have no power....I only have my sword..." he said as he began walking away once more still, he had forced himself not to draw his sword, hearing the power that might be hidden deep within him made him angry.
