Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kurayami watched as the holy beam came down. He hurried in the throwing, making sure that Kimache would land, firmly, but safely from the eight feet in the air. He then was struck squarely by the beam. He couldn't dodge it, since he was trying to keep Kimach safe. He was hit, no denying it, and the blinding light filled the area. No scream issued though. After the beam was gone, Kurayami still stood. His arms hanging, no blood, but his head hanging down slightly.

His hair was no longer white, but instead golden. Kurayami slowly rose from his place and breathed out calmly. If I was a normal person you would have probably left me unconscious or dying, unfortunately for you, I'm not normal." He spits on the ground and turned his head slightly. "I wonder if I should even spend time on you...you won't learn humilty, and you act rashly. I doubt you could defeat me. I've had two chances to kill you. Once in the back, the second time in that throw. You are running out of chances. And you've only really hit me twice."

He shook his head slowly. "Are you going to try again Kimache-dono?"

Kurayami nodded and walked to his shirt lifting it and placing it on his body covering himself again. He listened to Kimache and then pulled his cloak back on. He walked over to Kimache and stood there looking down at him for a long time. "Sit down, rest...you'll hurt yourself otherwise...my name is Kurayami Odokemono. I trust one person, he is dead. I warn that you might want to be stronger. But not in the way you think."

Kurayami was silent for a bit then spoke again as he turned to walk away. "In the instant that you gave up and conceded you became stronger than you were throughout the whole battle. We as warriors are not here to die. We are here to fight, and enjoy that. As well as enjoy life. Don't throw that away Kimache-dono. Don't you ever throw such a wonderful thing away." He turned pulling his hood back up over his hair that was quickly changing back to a white color.

Kurayami stopped as he heard Kimache's words. "If it is a loner's fight then I suppose so, but if not...I already told you, I only trust one person and that person is dead..." He looks back over his shoulder at him. "So maybe maybe not..." He looked back up at the sky. "Wise is he who puts his Absolute trust in few, and limited trust in all, than the Fool who puts his Absolute trust in all and limited trust in few. Maybe I'll find Absolute trust in someone here..." He then stepped from the place toward the exit and the wilderness.

Kurayami walked into the stadium slowly looking around. He needed a silent place to concentrate. He wanted to master this new element. This new...concept. It was the way to create a way to become the best. He would continue to learn of course, but this concept would be...the best of things, and the worst of things. He smiled slowly. It didn't really matter anyways. He had mastered most of it already, but until all was mastered it was useless.

He stood near the spot him and Kimache had been fighting earlier and closed his eyes. He turned his feet slightly and then turned his arms inside his cloak. He breathed slowly and then opened his eyes. The gold orbs moved to concentrate, and then he moved, with unseen speed. He was already finished about twenty feet away sheathing his blade before he even seemed to begin to move at the beginning of the attack. Then the afterimage disappeared.

Kurayami fell to a knee breathing deeply and held his heart slightly letting it regain the right order. He had started off too slow, but he had done it. He had moved faster than it. He had done something that was impossible to a normal person. In these weights, he had attacked at a speed faster than light...But it had tolled him, as he had expected. This attack was the ultimate attack. It attacked in all nine fashions, like the Nine-Headed Dragon that had been once famous but went out of fashion soon after, since it was nearly impossible to master.

But Kurayami...he had taken it a step farther. Now he could do this move at a speed that was unmatched. He would kill, and the person wouldn't know it for a second or two. The ultimate delay attack. But also the worst. He was still on the ground after a few seconds. This meant that he was left unable to attack for at least 3 seconds. He could never use this against a group, and if he did, he would have to kill them all, and that might not let him go for even longer.

The master of finesse and lightening speed kneeled on the ground before finally rising to his feet, breathing heavily. He had to make this easier, he had to keep training with this weight, to make himself faster, better, without this lack and this pain. Any mortal would die trying it, luckily he could defeat that obstacle, and he wouldn't die from going such a fast speed. He closed his eyes and slowly forced his racing heart to calm down, his breath to even, and silence to reign again around him.

Sakura's angelic presence came to view as she stepped into the stadium, though she was on the sidelines. Looking around for her friend Reaper, she gazed upon the stiaums glory and beauty, wondering who would she fight and what stragities she should use. Sakura was a little worried about her controlment with Feena, her Phantom thief sister who is powerful..maybe powerful than herself. She didn't want to get out of hand like last time..when Feena almost killed off Darksun, Reaper's faithful companion.
"WOW! what a beautiful stadium!!" she said in a exciting voice, mixed with kindness and joy, as the air brushed by her long lavender hair making it sway back and forth.

Marises walked over to her and smiled with a joyful wave.

"Hello, I've seen you before in the LOTRS but I've never got to introduce myself."

She smiled pleasently.
