Giglamesh tensed his left hand hard and blood would squirt out of the wound on his left shoulder. "...As i said this issnt something i have shown you three yet.....you ...more so than the other two...must go by your instincts, but what your gut tells you.....did he seem like he wanted to kill you?...did he seem as if his only goal was taking you life away? ..or was he just fighting you two...with out using the full potential of his skill and weapons?........you havent had to soil your hands with the blood of a enemy...harumi and I...even shin....can tell you that is not something you one.....all i can say to you is perhaps believing in karma, which is the idea is if you do good things good things will happen to you....if you do bad things bad things will happen to you." Giglamesh would look down at his hands he was holding out, then over shizuka. "I care for you shizuka...if i can help it then i will not allow those hands of your become stained with the blood of the fallen, it is not something you want......not everybody deserves compassion ...in time i will show you three how tell....when they deserve pity and when they dont."
Kumoru was still laying on his stomach he hadnt moved a inch he was still scared of the man, what ever he did with his finger to cut threw his mask and could of just as easily done same thing to his brain....it sent shiver down his spine. He made no attempts at moving, and while he listened he still wouldn't move.

"..." That's right. The slavetraders... Though he had killed them out of self-defense, but he had regretted it afterwards...the released Hyouton Creation that not only took those bandits' lives but also the innocent children they had snatched... A feeling of disgust settled in the pit of his stomach as Shinratsu pushed the memory away. Especially...what had ensued afterwards. Don't think about it...don't... Shizuka and Cronos...when he had tried to push them away, by telling them the slaughter...with a even voice but haughty eye...but there had been a disgusted hatred too. Not for them, not even for Kiri...but for himself. And...especially what had followed that incident...he especially neglected to mention because...a part of him didn't want either to know... For the sake of surviving he had... Consumed human flesh...
He look away. "Don't talk of killing so easily..." Shizuka wants revenge against one man. He desired the destruction of a whole village... One sin after another...too blind to see the path ahead...or even return to the path which he came... A fleeting purity that won't return...like blood staining the snow.

While it would take a long time that snow could one day melt to become snow again the long process of evaporation, Giglamesh would look to shin. "I know what happened to you as well....and i remember what your goals were......you may have stained hands shin...but it was to survive.....you have never killed for pleasure...taken out a village of bystanders including women and children on orders!.......killing is bad any way you look at it....some times it may seem like the right thing to do, sometimes if makes you hate your self after the blood drips down your hands.....but you always regret it...always regret the stains of death." Giglamesh wanted to tell him of some mnay of the things he had to do, for no other reason that orders, he had once had shuch a twisted life that he enjoyed killing. Yet with time it went away and he regretted even being alive, now he lives to he may show others the errors he once made, this was why he was the way he was with the academy students and genin.

"Well I'm going to have to some day..." She sighed as she knew what gig said was the truth, as Giglamesh offered her his hand she looked around as she crossed her arms at her stomach. "That is the role of a shinobi isn't it? We're going to have to kill some day or another, an assassin mission here or there..."
"Don't talk of killing so easily..."
"Huh?" Shinratsu and Giglamesh began talking...she had a feeling that She didn't know everything about Shinratsu.

An honest smile flickered across his face. But there was something painful about it to look at... "That won't happen." But the smile faded, eyes saddening and he looked away again. "I won't let it happen...Shizuka-chan soiling her hands... If it comes down to that..." But the brief flicker of emotion faded as quickly as it had come. It no longer mattered, if he should soil his hands...he was already tainted anyways... Power. All that mattered was power...if there was no power...he could not protect...

Giglamesh would look to shizuka, the look in her eye was worry. As if she didnt want to take life but one day feared that she would have to for duty, or perhaps she didnt want other too look down on her innocence...When it was the opposite giglamesh discarded that a long long time ago. It was something he wish he would of kept, she probably doesn't the feel the same way but gig knew better, he knew from his own mistakes. But then shin giglamesh caught that look from shin lack of emotion looking down away from them, he knew that feeling and lust all to well. Giglamesh would walk over to shin incredibly close towering over him. "....Stop thinking of it that way......i know all to well your thoughts...you seek power, you crave it you want to be strong...you thinks its to protect, but its not the same trust me i know the all to well......you believe that your hands are already stained, that your already stained, youll use that as a battle cry....you dont belive so right know but i know shinratsu-kun....in time if you keep down that path you with care if your tainted and youll continue on a downward spiral to a obsession with your own power....all that will matter is strength....and you will no longer have your humanity.....you do not...want to go down this path, as eventually your actions catch up to you and they hurt more than any physical wound you can ever have.."
Giglamesh would get down on his knee so he was basically face to face with shin and would place his right hand on shin's left shoulder. "..For those that you have killed...those wrongful deaths......dont you owe it to them to change...to not group there accidents with others.....Some wise words for you and i alike shinratsu-kun "When you seek power only for your self you become a beast, but when that power is used for others...that is true strength."........i have only shown keiko this ....but your entilted to know, i have talked about my bloody past before...but do you want to see the image that made me see the errors of my ways?..the image that showed me how much a fool i truely was for beliving only in power and myeself?" Giglamesh would take his casket knocking it over and he would open the door and remove the back pannel it had a few odd things, one thins was a vanilla folder which was sealed shut. He would use a shurkien from his coat to open it and he would slide out to pisturse and he would hold them out for shin. The first image was dark and hard to seen anything but a hill at first, but then upon closer inspection the hill was very lumpy and somebody was atop it. It wassent a very good picture as it was from a Polaroid camera that the pics came out when they were snapped. But as he would look at it closer he would see that the hill was actually a mound of corpses, in this pile were me women and children, and standing atop that pile was a unrecognizable figure that seemd to have as much blood on it as the pile did. But as shin would look even closer he could see two things...that crazed smile, and the beautiful glowing blue right eye.
Then giglamesh showed him the second picture, the eye and smile was much closer this time and blood seemed to be splashing out from behind the camera. "....It was a ten year old boy that took those pictures...its a image ...a nitemare of mine that still exists....as they boy slid off my blade i picked up those pictures to only realize that demon in the picture was myself......that was when finally everything came back to me, all my wrongs all in a instant....Shin your so much like me when i was younger......i dont want to see you go down a path of self destruction like i did, im sure you believe its different for you...but in the end the outcome is the same...thats is why...to repent to clear the names of those i wronged i continue to live for the sakes of those lost by that beast...thats why i will protect you...all of you, not for me...but for those lives i had claimed as trophies. Ill define my power by being able to protect those i care for no matter what." Giglamesh looked in to shins eye with a look he had never seen before, giglamesh never shown his sorrow his anguish, but in this moment he had shown everything to him, his past how and why he has become what he was. He goal used to be for himself...not he only exists for others.

"But if I don't get strong..." His voice trailed off. A rueful smile. "When I first came to the Academy, I resented Cronos and Shizuka." He said, his voice quiet. "I...thought it would've been better off...without anyone to protect..." Without anyone to protect, he could've then concentrated solely on the shinobi ideals. The plan was to grow strong, climb the ranks, and obliterate Kiri for their crimes... "But..." He looked away. "As much as I resented it...I couldn't stop these bonds from forming."
So. That phoenix priestess had done something.
The training in the canyon and that dreamscape... Kousei could only erase the main consciousness' memory of it, after all. Two affinities of one tied to another...one link could be severed but the other remains.
Her mark still burned brightly...never physical but a marking on the soul...but it mattered little. Why, this preciously stupid boy...his other half... Did he think the phoenix priestess' seal alone will save him? She had not given him power, rather, only a mean...to be not eaten by his own mind... "Strength of will" fuels her brand. However...the further his other half deviates from his original intents...that priestess' seal grows stronger. As his other half's will to change grows...the chains binding him closer to this place...to this dreamscape generated by that seal...will indeed at one point destroy all hopes of absolute control. An absolute seal.
That priestess had meant to save Kiri by sealing him.
He shall not be content with watching. The priestess made one mistake in the measure she took to protecting his other half... If the one she blessed falters, he could end up instead as the one trapped in the mind.
He held the advantage, nevertheless. The question burned into his other half's mind that will not so easily fade... As long as Kiri remains unforgiveable.
Do you believe in Tenchu?
"To lose and gain but only to lose again..." His face was kept carefully expressionless, tone unreadable...but a flicker of pain across his eyes. And those words... "What...then would become the meaning of bonds..."
Memory of snow... ...falling so gently, yet so cruelly...
"If a loss could not even be protected..."
He... He wanted to destroy anything that threatens those bonds this time...
Heaven speaks its judgement against the wicked.
Giglamesh was showing him something...? Though Shin's eyesight was stellar...it was a bit hard to see... A body? No...a mountain of bodies. And someone was on top of it...two swords, the colour of that eye... A sharp intake of breath, in realization. It...couldn't be...
The earth of 'The Bloody Mist' shall then be soaked in blood.
Giglamesh. For certain it was none other but Giglamesh himself... But what was the meaning of this? He himself won't ever enjoy slaughter...it's just...a evil necessity...
His words to the slavetraders...
"I, your slave?"
A cruel smile so...strange yet familiar...
"I will show you...to the ninth circle of hell..."
No...that wasn't true...the slavetraders tried to brand him first... He...can't...recall fully that memory...?
The taste of blood to his lips...savoring victory...
Those children...was it really a Hyouton backfire...?
Not a single one would be spared.
By that mad demon called 'vengeance'... ...and from the sinful pleasure of slaughter...
Relish the time you have left... ...when you're still pure.
There is no path of return... ...for you who had relied on me to survive...
A cruel smile.
My dearest one... Since you've lost everything...why don't you give the remaining shell to me?
"Ah...but...I..." He didn't enjoy killing...it...it was just... For survival's sake...
Those children... It...wasn't an accident.
He already gained control over Hyouton when he killed the slavetraders. It could've been prevented... After that branding attempt...what on earth possessed him to treat the whole cavaran as enemies?
'For survival's sake'...
"I..." ...want to help other people...
Yet even with that wish...his power laid in destruction.
Wouldn't he be a lot happier...wouldn't he be a lot better off...if he wasn't gifted with this power...?

He knew all to well the gift of power, but not a gift but more of a curse, it goes to ones head, such a addicting thing if one tastes to much then them before obsessed and rely upon that repeated taste of savory power. To somebody which craves power more than anything how do the define that power? The battle field, there they could stand atop everything else if they were strong...and one day giglamesh did, he stood above everything else because he stood atop the pile of corpses he had created, enemies, wives and children of his enemies, allies that told him he had gone to far, it just continued till only gig and that boy that hid remained, until the book took that first picture then giglamesh in his craze turned on him only to see the boy capture his own death on camera, then when giglamesh saw the pictures at his feet, as he finaly looked in to the mirror of what he was....that image of power....that visage of strength .....that image of what he was...shattered, for months to come he secluded him self and tried to commit harakiri (ritual suicide) several times, but his fight tactics lead it to where he survived it every time, it was as if he was cursed to live with his actions. Then a monk told him that which he told to shin When one uses strength for them self, they become a monster...but when its used for others, that defined strength. Giglamesh wassent cursed, but given the gift of life correct the wrongs he had done, to repent for his past wrongs. shin would have to do the same, gig said nothing else he had to let those words soak in to shins mind.

((Nice work Jin. Thanks for the grace period guys, I appreciate it cool ))
Where there was a deep crater in the ground not too far ahead of her and Raisuke, a woman appeared from the smoke. Her eyes were ablaze with livid fury and Amaya had to take a moment to blink in understanding. The turtle demon was nothing more than a puppet, this angered woman its controller. Rai's exploding tag was probably the last thing she had been expecting. This thought brought a soft chuckle to Amaya's lips that soon slipped into a barely audible growl at what happened next. The woman approached without restraint, firing off senbon from the arm cannon that had survived the blast. Rai was already making his next move and Amaya hesitated only for a moment, watching both of their movements closely. Not that she was unsure of herself, but rather she was looking for the opportune moment to make the best of her and Rai's team advantage. As soon as he thrust a sword strike upwards, Amaya was right at the woman's left side, opposite tie direction of Rai's strike to avoid any elementary mistake of accidently being cut by his blade. She added to the assault a low striking slash of her own across the woman's torso, aiming for the soft spot just beneath the rib cage. This was followed by a slash with her second blade across the woman's shoulder with the intent of making it difficult for her to lift her cannon.
-- Stats -- Hp: 64-15= 49 Cp: 16 Dodge Bonus: 20 Attack: Melee 14 (duel wield)/Ranged 12
Damage: 8-16 per sword
--Action-- Roll for hit carried over from last post = 28 -2(penalty for double strike w/butterfly swords)= 26 ((I'm assuming that's still a hit since 28 was a hit before she lost her shell))

((Roll for damage.
Double strike combines the damage of a single blade as two I think, so damage range would be 8-16*2 =16-32))

((redo damage it would be 8-16 x3 because 2two hits and second hit is critical which is double damage.))
-48=52hp
The woman wassent a push over, as raisuke came in slashing she would oddly enough charge him, since he used a weapon it would make it harder to hit if she was to close. She would get his by his slash but it didnt cut her two awefully bad, but not point blank the shotgun would make a metalic sound The device was directly againt rai's side, and there was no way to avoid a point blank attack from such close range. But then the second approached and she barely saw her and tried to act in time but was two slow, with she first two a blade slashing across her right forearm, which caused her to turn with the attack, and she would then get cut quite fiercely across the abdomen. She would begin to bleed somewhat badly, but she wassent dead yet. Useing only her right arm she would point the shotgun directly at amaya which was in very close range fireing off a shot, then she would catch it with left hand and c**k it useing only the force of her left hand (think sarah at end of terminator 2) she would c**k it with a feirce shake of left hand and grab then handle with hjer right injured arm and fire another shot a amaya.
8+1= -____- 3+4=-_____-
