Remember the name ((Ximal))

[Kira Slyvass]

Date: 37th of Summer 513
Location: outside of Nykas northern quarter to the west


He was still hurting…hurting pretty bad. Why was it you always hurt worse after the fight began? Almost a week later and Kira could still hear his bones crack with every movement he made. It was insane! Kira needed to learn how to fight better soon so he could avoid getting his ass handed to him like he did not too long ago. But if one good thing came out of that day it was his new fur coat! He looked absolutely badass in the thing…or at least in his mind he did. He liked to think he looked cool wearing something that was so rarely ever seen. Made him stand out from the crowd. Packing up his things Kira shoved all of his weaponry in secure locations within his sleeves and such and simply folded his cloths up. The lady who lived in the room next door was nice enough to lend him a large potato sac he could keep his cloths in. His suit was stained in blood so he wouldn’t be wearing that again anytime soon. With that being said Kira realized he only had two outfits left to wear. Currently he was wearing his long black shirt with his fur coat over it. Everything else went into the sac. Even his mask. Kira put his weapons all into the sac as well. Angling them so they would not cut through the bag or his cloths Kira lifted the sac onto his shoulder and walked out of the doors of the safe haven.

‘Well it’s been real. But this place got way to boring.’ Kira thought to himself. Making his way to Nykas northern quarter. He wasn’t sure where he was going to go but anywhere that was fun or chaotic was the place he would most likely show up at. Either way he wasn’t sticking around there anymore. Kira was still using his cane because his leg still felt a little off. He could walk and move just fine but his leg was pretty badly bruised. Touching it was the only thing that caused pain.

Made his way out the northern gate Kira paused and looked around. It was still pretty early and apparently no one seemed to be out at the moment. The Dhani paused and looked around. Unsure were to go exactly Kira frowned and shook his head. ‘Great, just stepped outside and I’m already bored…’ He thought sadly. Disappointed. Kira looked up at the morning blue sky and basked in the heat for a moment before his peace was interrupted by a couple of teens about his age who were carelessly running and bumped into him. Kira looked down and faced the both of them. They both stared at Kira with a freaked out look on their face and since Kira was such a nice guy he ignored it.

“What’sss up?” Kira asked innocently. The two teens both exchanged glances and at the same time sprinted off to the west. Kira blinked a few times as he watched them go. “Um...what?” Kira asked confused. Wondering where they ran off to and why he decided to follow them. Turning west he travled through what seemed like a thick thing of trees. But after about fifteen minutes of walking blind Kira soon stumbled upon…a place? A house? It didn’t really look like a house to him. More like a…um. Kira looked around and gave up trying to figure out what the hell he was looking at and just decided to go with it.

Walking over to the buildings door Kira tried the door and it didn’t open. Kira frowned and looked around at the door before shrugging his shoulders and walking away. Before he got very far Kira was stopped by some women.

“Hello young one. Are you here to see the master?” She asked cheerfully. Finally someone who could at least fake a good smile. Everyone always seemed too stuck up. “I’m sorry the master? Master of what?” Kira replied confused. The lady tilted her head and gave a concerned look. “You mean…you don’t know the master of this school?” She asked him. Kira shrugged and looked at his cane. “Nope. Why, is he an artist or something?” Kira asked. The women giggled and walked away.

“You stay here. I’ll go fetch him for you.” She said calmly as she unlocked the door to the…house and walked in. Shutting it behind her. Kira stood there looking like a lost child. “Um…wait…what the hell just happened?” He asked, looking down at the ground. His brain wasn’t working today.

[Ximal]

Xi having been summoned by his pupils stepped out from his school. hair loose around his back reaching down to his lower back bright red headband around his forehead more like a scarf, and deep black blue eyes now scanning for the source of the disturbance...Then he spotted it...Or at least what he presumed to be it. A man standing there in a fur coat in the middle of summer...Xi sighed and stepped out across the way, letting his arms rest by his sides and his hands stay open. His voice was somewhat flinty and he lifted an eyebrow at the man before him. And who exactly are you? Because your currently trespassing on my land. So i kindly suggest you either leave because your upsetting my students, or you state who you are, and leave because your upsetting my students. " Xi's gaze turned hard, matching his tone of voice though his body remained relaxed, he was not looking to fight this person infront of him...Odds were looking at him, he'd kill him if he want full power.Instead he took a deep breath and kept his body relaxed and fluid.

[Kira Slyvass]

Kira didn't have to wait for very long was the lady he had run into left. For some reason Kira wondered who this 'master' really was. Perhaps he was some kind of politic or something. Then again he he actually took around his surroundings Kira didn't think this was the home of a politic. More like the place of a fallen or hiding warrior. Which only made him even more curious.

Suddenly in about three minutes of time a man appeared from the house. Kira looked at him and noticed he was very well built and kind of intimidating. But nothing really intimidated Kira even in the eyes of death. Its how he always was, thats how it would always be. Kira smiled harmlessly at the man as he approached and stared him down. 'Maybe he likes my coat?' Kira thought.

"And who exactly are you? Because your currently trespassing on my land. So i kindly suggest you either leave because your upsetting my students, or you state who you are, and leave because your upsetting my students. " The man said, almost throwing Kira off guard. The Dhani looked at the man and tilted his head. Looking around the place Kira did not see a single 'student' outside. Only one he saw so far was the lady and she seemed pleasant. But instead of going against it he decided to go with it for now. Looking back at the man Kira waved at him innocently.

"My name is Kira." He began, adjusting his sac on his shoulder Kira continued. "And...who exactly am i upsetting? Other than you. I mean do i really look that threatening?" Kira asked concerned. Looking down at what he was wearing. "is it the coat; Should i...wear something else? Because id like to stick around and see what all goes on here. You say 'students.' Does that mean this is a school or some sort? And if it is then you must be the master everyones been talking about." Kira pointed out. Obviously if he was the master and this was a school clearly he ran the place. Simple observation and process of elimination.

"You seem like someone who could snap me like a tooth pick so im going to do everything in my power to NOT upset you. Ive had my ass kicked not to long ago id rather not have it kicked again. Im not the best fighter although i want to be." Kira pointed out. Shrugging and looking at the man. "So, would you mind letting me in on the juicy secret you and this place hold? It seems pretty cool and attention grabbing if ya think about it. Oh...and sorry im trespassing. Kind of new to the city. And if your really to busy or im really just that repulsive to everyone ill just...go i guess." He said with a grin.

[Ximal]

Xi folded his arms across his chest lifting them up to show that he wasn't going to start something which is why he'd offered that he could leave. So the man's name was kira. Xi took a slow breath listening to him and watching his attitude...Something about him was already starting to turn the gears in Xi's head pushing him towards the aggressive side...Anger not even factoring into it..."Yes, this is my school...Also my home. I also hope that no-one has called me "the master" because even though i won this place i'm no better than anyone else." Xi let his glare leer over the man before him again Xi stepping closer and using his size as a way to say "step back". Everything that was being said by this man was almost grating against him. Xi sighed slowly and closed his eyes briefly before opening them again. His hand curled into a fist beneath his arm. Xi lowered the hardened edge to his voice...Realizing he was jumping to a conclusion that might not have ben the actual reality. "As i've said this is a school, nothing more...Sure i teach people how to fight but that still makes this place a school. So what exactly brought someone new to nyka out this way? I mean...This isn't exactly part of the city for a good reason." Xi raised an eye brow keeping his gaze locked onto the person before him.

[Kira Slyvass]

Kira watched as the man folded his arms across his chest. 'Interesting...' Kira thought as the larger one spoke. Kira could tell by the expression on his face that something was happaning in his head. Perhaps Kira really was irritating him...The man spoke once more. "Yes, this is my school...Also my home. I also hope that no-one has called me "the master" because even though i won this place i'm no better than anyone else." The man stated calmly. Kira gave a proud grin when he heard this. At last someone who shared his philosophy! "I agree 100% Everyones the sssame. NO expectationss, all of them. Equal before god." Kira said calmly. Kira noticed the man walk even closer to him as if to say back away.

Kira tilted his head and kept smiling. Just trying to seem friendly is all. "Ssso whats your name then? I dont want to call you sssomething you dont want to be called." Kira said not moving an inch. If the man wanted him to leave he would have to say it verbally, not use body language or intimidation by physical means. Because with Kira only so many things intimidated him. Plus this man was so much fun, the way he carried himself. How he spoke. Hell his own beliefs were similar to Kiras. This made him want to stick around even more.

"As i've said this is a school, nothing more...Sure i teach people how to fight but that still makes this place a school. So what exactly brought someone new to nyka out this way? I mean...This isn't exactly part of the city for a good reason." The man said almost defensively. Kira nodded.

"yesss well thiss is a ssschool. I resspect that and you being the teacher i resspect you ass well." Kira said respectfully. "And i came to Nyka after being a ssslave. I was imprissoned for...um...3? No 5 years? Meh, i dont remember. Anywayss i kind of got bored of being a ssslave so i...uh. How ssshould i put this; left?" Kira said giving a shrug. "After that i made my way here to the city of Nyka. And randomly wandering around i came acrossss this place." He concluded, looking at the man and smiling. Kira set down his cane and extended his hand. "Pleasssure to meet you _____ help me fill in the blank?" He asked innocently.

[Ximal]

Xi glanced at him again the full restraint visible in his arms, the amount of force and speed he was capable of completely hidden in both his size and stature. He exhaled slowly. Every one sis equal until you prove to me your beneath me, and acting tough, just puts you beneath me." Xi exhaled and closed his eyes for a moment The man infront of him asking his name ? "Y'know it's not exactly polite to ask someone their name without introducing yourself first, especially when your on their property." Though Xi was now getting aggravated. Listening to some try and say so nonchalantly he was a slave...And that he "left" Xi almost took a swing at him there and then. Instead against his better judgement let him continue on. Making his way to nyka to come across this plce randomly...Not bleeding likely. Xi inhaled and exhaled in a slow manner, now letting the aggravation show in his intent to want to hit this guy. "Get off of my property now. I've asked you twice now. If i have to ask a third time...I wont be asking, i'll drag your unconscious body off of my land. And if you come back on. I'll just be dragging your body off of my land." Xi held his gaze at his eyes. Something about him...he didn't like...Something about him was making Xi want to hit him to the point where he was now not threatening but giving him a assurance of what he would do.

[Kira Slyvass]

Kira was kind of confused by this man’s way of dealing with things. He had met people who were serious but this man seemed to define the word. Was Kira really just that much of a threat? Honestly Kira knew he wasn’t a tough guy and he knew he didn’t always win. He was a coward and he could admit it. “I’m acting tough?” Kira asked confused. Unsure how he was acting tough. Sure he was confident in the presence of death but he was not tough. And then he started talking about Kira should have introduced himself first? Was this guy joking? That was the first thing he did when he arrived. He retreated his hand and stood up straight. Looking at the man with a now blank and slightly identical expression the man was giving him. And for Kira to make any face other than a happy one was rare. Then the man just started snapping at him, telling him to get off his property or he would drag him off. Never in all of Kira’s life had he been so disrespected for no reason. And in a sense it made him angry although he didn’t show it.

He simply stood there…staring. Scared out of his mind to stay there any longer but not wanting to seem like he was weak. He lived that life before and he was not going back. Never again. Kira knew this man could easily murder him but at this rate Kira was not going to walk away and regret it later. Taking a deep breath Kira looked the man in the eye and replied.

“N….n…no. I won’t leave. I will not be ssshamed because of my own cowardice behaivor. I know you can hurt me…I know that. And I’m afraid. I’ve always been afraid but I’m choosssing this moment…not to be. I don’t care if you kill me or knock me out for being confident because I hate myself for being a coward. I’m weak…and I’m pathetic. And I can admit that to myself. That’s how I managed to live with myself…oncsse you accept who you are the easy part it over. Ssso here I am…accepting it. Normally I would leave in fear of being hurt but I’m taking my ssstand now…even if it’s my lasst. Ssso go ahead…do it.” Kira told him. His heart pounding in his chest as he closed his eyes and started breathing heavily. He turned his face to the side a bit so he wouldn’t have to see it coming. “Fear is my passst…I refusse to let it be my future.” He whispered. Bracing himself for impact of the first swing. But he still didn’t want to be there. He could feel his legs begin to shake and he wanted to throw up. What had this man done to him?! All Kiras composure and confidence just evaporated and suddenly he was reverted back to his old self…his weak self. And he hated it! This man had turned Kira into a former shell of himself. And all he had to do was threaten him? Kira was both furious and extremely impressed. Kira had admitted defeat…even though he was still there.

[Ximal]

Xi held his ground in front of the smaller male. The man began to speed through his reasoning for being there, for not wanting to seem like a coward, the reasoning behind his mask of acting like the tough guy. Xi snorted and listened, the glare on his face looking directly at him hearing his easoning thinking he was weak before. Xi smirked. "Your still weak, and no amount of acting will change that. You want to get stronger? Prove it. You want to prove your not weak ? Then stand your ground. You don't want to leave then fight, after all this is a fighting school. " Xi lowered his arms from his chest to his sides, his intent to kill kira now sky-rocketing, not hiding it any more. Xi stepped forward now putting himself within arms reach of kira. He'd said he wanted to kill him and he wasn't joking with the back up feeling that Xi was now emitting. Just how his body looked in his body language.

[Kira Slyvass]

Sometimes Kira wandered what was going through Ximals head when he gave others those looks. Based on what Kira had learned this man was not one to play games for very long. That meant Kira would have to get serious…for the first time in a while. He normally didn’t like to be serious because for someone like him it made him feel…unlikable. But desperate times caused for desperate measures. The man snorted and responded in such a way Kira was suddenly taken back about fifty years. In a cage… "Your still weak, and no amount of acting will change that. You want to get stronger? Prove it. You want to prove you’re not weak ? Then stand your ground. You don't want to leave then fight, after all this is a fighting school. "

Kira looked at the man and nodded. Setting his bag down from his shoulders Kira took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. One last observation…one last one before he began. ‘Ok so Ximal is clearly based on power, the way he carries himself does nothing but intimidate me almost as a apex predator would in the wild. Im assuming that’s what defines his strength. However I know nothing of his movements nor speed so I can easily be proven wrong with the wrong approach. A punch could easily be blocked or countered in a number of ways as well as any other attack I throw. So I need to attack in a way he won’t break me in four pieces. Its times like these I wish I was as strong as my constrictors cousin but I wasn’t blessed with that gift. All I have is my near blinding speed…but if this man is even half of what I suspect him to be then my speed will mean nothing now. He after all is more experienced then me by many years of nonstop training. All I have are self-defense lessons and some hands on. Well…mine as well try.’ He thought to himself. All of that only took about a minute to think about as he looked at the ground and begun.

Being as quick as he could Kira would attempt to execute a leg sweep, lowering his body and throwing a leg out to try and use his speed and velocity to take his opponent out from under him. If that failed to do anything Kira would just as quickly turn his body and use his still planted leg to spin even more and try and land the kick to Ximals face. If that didn’t work he would have to find another approach.

[Ximal]

Xi watched the man before him. It seemed as if kira had the intent and want to challenge Xi to his own speciality in order to stay on his land. Xi kept his stance formless doing nothing except sliding one leg back and holding his stance firm and ready. Even with increased speed, Xi could still follow kira's movements and easily read through them watching and awaiting the slip up,, and then there it was, he dropped down more than likely going to cut out his legs and true to form how he positioned himself it was exactly that. Xi slid his leg back and simply let the leg sweep pass by his feet and saw him rise to bring his leg around in a full power kick trying to kick him in the face. Xi smirked and sighed bringing up his left arm to act as a block. Taking the full force of the kick with that arm he then brought his fist into the back of that legs knee, nullifying it's use if his fist hit. If it did or it did not Xi had a back up plan. Xi would step into kira's space and then use his ridiculous levels of speed to throw out seven snapping jabs with his left hand, aiming the blows in what would seem like a random pattern however every punch would be aimed at a vital, liver, pancreas, stomach, diaphragm. two at each barring the diaphragm. His attack taking less than three seconds. With himself holding back his power and speed. If these hit...they were going to hurt.
