Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sho looked at the man in front of him and says, "I was told by my grandfather that you would be able to help me. That this would be a safe place for a Bount to come if he or she needs a place to stay. My names Sho Yuuki sir, and I could use your help .... I have no were else to turn so I'm hoping that my information was correct. Although listening to your words and your tone .... you sound like someone has annoyed you already today. I can assure you that's not what I'm trying to do her sir."

Every couple of seconds Sho starts to look behind himself and all around as if expecting for something to pop out at him from anywhere.

Sho looks at the man and says, "Give you my soul? Old man, no respectable Bount would do such a thing as to offer their soul. Loyalty ... that goes without question. You would have my dying loyalty just because you are a Bount. Respect ... again that goes without question for you are greater than I. But, my soul is mine and it belongs to no other."

Then Sho's eyes grow deep crimson red and slanty when he says, "Do not think that my young age makes me stupid old man ... your insults of my grandfather have not gone unnoticed and will not be tolerated. I am not looking for charity from you. I have money and plenty of it. I am looking for security and a teacher to take over where my grandfather has left off. Your money means nothing to me and never will. The only power I seek is that of completing my training and opening the true power of my doll so no one will stand in my way of taking the souls I need to survive. My loyalty to you will be forever if you help me with this ... do you think you are up to the challenge? Do you think you can keep up with me or are you scared that my power my surpass yours?"

After a few moments Sho says, "Enough of this ...are you willing to take me into your home and be my teacher or must I seek someone else?"

((Do you post more than once a day?))

Sho says, "Thank you sir, I look forward to learning from you. Hopefully we will take a lot of souls together!!" Sho walked in and closed the door behind himself. He dropped his bag and looked around the entrance way getting himself familiar with his new home. Sho says to Ky, "This is a very nice mansion you have here sir. What kind of security do you have here if you don't mind me asking? I want to make sure I don't go to sleep and never wake up again because some Soul Reaper got in ... you know what I mean?" Sho turns his head when he catches the butler coming out of the corner of his eye and waves him away and says, "Not to worry kind sir, just let me know were my room is and I will take care of the bag." Sho looks back to Ky for an answer to his question.

((I was asking because I'm on Gaia a lot because I work online from home. I also go to college online as well so I'm on the computer 8-13 hours a day and Gaia helps keep me awake. xd ))

Sho looks at him and says, "It's hard to believe that you have an agreement with any shinigami let alone have one of them for a friend. That is one subject that makes us different my friend. I on the other hand can't get enough shinigami souls. Those bastards killed my grandfather and took him from me. So as you can see, there will be no peace between the shinigami and this Bount. I think your security is outstanding and I must tip my hat to you Ky. You have a great place here." Sho follows Ky upstairs taking in everything around him as they walk.

Sho says, "I want to ask you, can I come and go as I please? I have some loose ends to take care of still and I don't want them to linger around for too long." before letting Ky answer his question Sho jumps into another question by saying, "When do we start training?"

Ky sighed. "It's all about playing politics, kiddo. Don't make enemies with a race who can help you get what you want. With the shinigami at our disposal, we don't have to worry about those pesky hollows, leaving us to do whatever we wanted with our time." Ky said, crossing his arms and smirked. "And that shinigami friend of mine happens to be your superior. The only shinigami within the ranks of the Ravens. He's number XIII."

Raising his head, Ky looked at Sho. He had heard about his unfinished business so it got him somewhat interested. Most Bounts have unfinished businesses, so it was a normal thing to ask. "Of course you can. I really don't care much about what you maggots do with your free time, just don't you people die before I tell you to. Like a chessmaster, the last thing I want is to unnecessarily lose my pieces. Oh, and before you can train, you need to undergo Raven assimilation first or else you might not be able to keep up."

Just then, he heard Sophie come down the stairs, freshly out of bed. Smiling, he gestured his hand towards her, planning on introducing Sho to her. "Ah, here she is." Ky said with a mischievous grin. "This beautiful young lady is Sophie. She may look sweet on the outside, but she is more than capable of kicking your a**, so don't get any shrewd ideas. Unfortunately, her a** is mine both in bed and in battle." Ky joked, grinning even more at his last statement.

Turning towards her, Ky nodded. As he was about to speak in order to address her question, he felt a surge of strange energy coming from the outskirts of town. It was nothing he had ever felt before so it was already certain that he, being the natural alchemist that he is, wanted to see what it was. "Looks like we're going to have to hold the training at the outskirts. Sho, due to the sudden turn of events, I'll have you come with us. However, after this is all over, you'll have to undergo Raven assimilation." He said, rubbing his rapier with his hand as he walked to the exit. "I'll go on ahead. Come on by if you think you're ready."

Sadhbh stood shocked as Ky's words, and couldn't even yell at him for what he said. As she snapped back into reality she noticed he was leaving, and it was to late to retaliate to his words. She just walked from the building speechless, and decided not to obey his words for awhile. "I can't believe that idiot just said that... I'll kill him..." She thought to herself pissed off, and patted her bracelet.

Uinsean appeared next to her with a crackle of the ground below him, and looked up at her. "So, What are we doing now?" He asked slowly looking up to her with a calm attitude. Looking calmly in the direction of the tower Ky was headed for he knelt slightly expecting what she would say.

"Let's go to the tower, and deal with things I guess." Sadhbh said calmly jumping onto Uinsean's back, and pointing to the tower. Uinsean let out a small roar as the ground around them parted slightly, and they slowly seeped into the ground as it closed once more.

((You know, you could've introduced yourself first before going into my house...))

[Post-Dark Tower time line]

Walking into the door of his mansion after a long day of fighting, Ky, as usual, was assisted by his servants in taking off his dusty cloak and other accessories save his clothes. Yawning out of fatigue, he waltzed to the kitchen only to see an unfamiliar face raiding the fridge. However, Ky didn't care too much for he was too tired. Normally, Ky would open a can of whoop-a** on anyone who trespassed into his property, but it must have been the guy's lucky day.

Taking out a can of canned oolong tea, Ky opened it, took a sip, and walked toward his servants who were waiting outside of the kitchen. Drowsily, he asked who that guy he had just met was.

"Hey, who is that guy over there?" Ky asked one of his servants, taking a sip of his tea and yawned, waiting for the servant's reply.

"He just waltzed in here and dropped his bags. Since you were gone, master, we decided to take him in in the meantime so that you could talk to him when you came back. He looked like a Bount, so I think he's all right."

"Hmm...fine." Ky droned, walking up the stairs and into the master bedroom. Finishing his can of tea, he tossed the empty can into the trash bin, took off his clothes, dressed in his pajamas, and slept like a log.
