----- "What does all that mean if your voice speaks a lie?!" Reiki's head shot upwards, showing the steady flow of tears flooding from his eyes. The change in the boy's voice was not immediately apparent. Mostly because Reiki wanted to block them out and hide himself from Koga's voice. It was so heartless, it made the boy almost feel dead himself. His hands rose quickly and clasped the sides of his head. Fingers lacing into his white hair as he continued to speak. His eyes showing some amount of anguish. Reiki surely was a true child in every sense, and he cared not to hide it. His strength for those he loved and cared for would not diminish if he showed his emotions. For emotions drove the soul, and without them the body would be a lifeless vessel. A kishin just for vile demons to harbor themselves in until they explode. His eyes shut for a brief moment, the saltiness of the tears causing his eyes to burn, forcing them to water even more.
"You don't love anyone! You can't even show it!!!!!" As the boy began to shout his eyes seemed to freeze over. His green iris shifting to white as he spoke. The temperature in the room would begin to drop. His sorrow taking over his chakra, this change however would not be apparent to Reiki, that was not until Koga's last words. The boy's mind seemed to be slipping away from him, tainted by something not like him. He would continue to speak anyway. His eyes slamming shut as his mouth seemed to expand several times it's normal size as he shouted. His voice echoing throughout the cold office. "If you care then show it when i tell you I'll bury your village in Snow!!!!!"

Koga's calm hard returned as quickly as it had left, "I feel
everything I just keep my calm for them. I keep a level
head so I don't make mistakes like you are about to."
Koga felt fear inside. He felt anger, contempt, and even
pity for the boy who couldn't control his emotions. Around
his family he was relaxed, calm, even a little lazy but on
mission he lived for them. He was methodical, analytic,
and calm. These things afforded him a cool head to look
at a situation realistically and effectively deduce what had
to be done. He did it for a myriad of reasons. Foremost
among them where the want to see them safe and the want
to see them again. What other reason could this confused
little ant want?

-----"You don't care because you don't have a heart..." Reiki seemed to calm slightly, his nose sniffling every so often. "Even now...someone who cries tears for you, you don't care. You probably just think I'm annoying. To think that I am trying to save a world so you can continue to be this way...what am I working for." His face hardened as he wiped the tears from his eyes. What on earth was he wasting all of his time for? So people can continue their heartless ways and protect the Ishikawa lineage. No, he wouldn't do it anymore. "Forget it..." he continued to sniffle slightly as his arm lowered. "If the ninja world is this way...I couldn't possibly save it..." The boy extended his right hand as an array of snowflakes began to spread from his body. "I'll have to crush the entire world...and start it over. I'm going...to kill you all." As he spoke his last words the snowflakes began to glisten.

Koga was not interested in a little kid's temper tantrum,
but he was even less interested in having a genocide
happen on his watch,
"You know I can't possibly allow that. You have delusions
that this world is inherently evil. From what I've observed,
I couldn't come close to stopping you. I had hoped that
you where more intelligent that this- but if a child can't
see how simple this situation really is then perhaps this
world really is a terrible place."
If he was lucky he could gode her into only attacking him.
He would have no qualms about letting himself get injured
or potentially killed if it meant saving others.

----- "You can't allow it....but you can not stop me...It must be frustrating. But how would I know if you don't show it. If I held your mother in my arms...freezing her entire body into ice before shattering her. How would I know to stop, because your cold voice said so? Or because your fierce eyes dared me?..." This voice of Reiki's echoed after every word. One in his childlike voice, the other in the voice of someone much older. Someone who had not shown themselves for a while, and could not allow reiki to display such hatred towards the ninja world. A tall man with flowing purple hair, with eyes that seemed to rip through souls. His image would appear behind Reiki, giving itself life with each flicker of the snowflakes. He could only quell the anguish within the boy, but could no stop his words nor his actions. If Reiki felt so strongly, then he would carry out what he wished.
"Why would a child see this situation so simply...because he can not walk amongst another and be trusted. Because he is seen as a criminal before a friend. To be condemned guilty before proven innocent. Are your actions what a child is to see innocently?..." His voice yet still remained calm. No inflections rising off of any singular word. The phantom seemed to do its' job very well, not a bit of the beginning anger seemed to be there. "Can you tell me?!" His voice rose high as his gaze narrowed. "What am I supposed to understand, about a person like you?! A hollow weapon created by the destructive properties of a village! How am I supposed to understand that!? How am I supposed to understand parents putting their children through that!" His hand stretched forward as several snowflakes ,began to gather spinning about in what appeared to be a snowglobe forged of wind. "WHEN MY FATHER JUST DIED FOR ME!" His breathing had become heavy, some from fighting against the man who restrained him the rest from fighting back his childlike nature. The differences between these two boys was vast, such a vastness Reiki could not possibly understand. So his body resorted to the natural human instinct, the familiar way of dealing with thins one did not understand. To destroy it.

"You are lacking vision. You can't see beyond the emotions
you blind yourself with. I'm not a "weapon" or a "tool". I
chose to be effective, strive towards perfection to help those
I love. You simply have no control over yourself and power
in the hands of someone like that isn't a force for any sort
of good." He explained in his harshly cold voice, chilling even
the snowflakes with his tone,
"The Hatake clan left the Leaf village generations ago over
the misuse of power. We left in protest of an act we considered
to be wrong. I am the new roots transplanted in the Sand
Village. I promised my family I would EARN every ounce of
respect I could so they could have a better life. Everything
I do is for those who love me. The quality of their life will
improve if I do well for my village." He said, a slow silent
anger rising in his voice.
Koga drew no weapon, he took no stance, he made it clear
if Reiki was going to kill him- it would be in cold blood.
"I am no hollow weapon you ingrate..."
It was pure venom. Plain and simple. The disgust was rife
in his voice. Reiki was evil.
"No. I am the proud son of the Hatake Clan. I am Hatake Koga
and if you have the gall to insulate that you are the only judge
of this world then I'll stand against you. I'll stand against you
on principle like my father did against an injustice before me
and his father did before him. No- I am no hollow weapon."
Koga's words where pure dedication. They where not hollow,
they were not vapid or forced. Koga knew right from wrong
and this was wrong.
Slowly Koga untied his headband and let it drop to the floor
with a resounding clang. His reflections stared back at him
from the angled metal plate. It showed a hardened face that
was alien to him normally. It showed him reach to the small
tanto on his back and draw it and take a Waki-gamae stance.
He had signified that he was not acting on behalf of his village
and no blame lay with them. This was a greater purpose. An
uncontrolled evil like Reiki was truly a threat to a greater
principle and Koga lived on principle.

----- "Good!" Reiki spoke with a bright smile as the purple haired man's image seemed to disappear. It was not that Reiki had been so angry, it was that he was calmed enough to take back control of himself. After his crying fit and his emotionless speech, he was more or less back to normal. The snow globe that was swirling in his hand seemed to dissipate, the room's temperature would return to normal. The cold and icy glare of his white eyes would melt back to their original green. What he had done was the only thing he could think of to force emotion out of Koga. Even if he held himself so high, a child would still be a child. "I don't care what you think of me. I don't care if you believe me about the Ishikawan king. But if you ever were to kill me...I want it to be this Koga Hatake. A person who has a heart. How can I save a world if I can do nothing about the people standing right in front of me..." His right hand lowered as the smile on his face grew. He wasn't going to attack Koga first, just as it seemed Koga wasn't going to do the same. Reiki began to walk, looking towards the door and nothing else. As he passed Koga he did utter a few more words. His body stopping directly next to the Hatake child. "Here's your chance....cut me down. Remember, I gave you permission that if I did something you didn't like you could kill me." He couldn't help but smile wider after speaking. Koga had employed so many things in what he had just said. Anger and contempt, each one of his words striking like a blade. Silver tongue indeed. He even used the most basic of insults, name calling, meant to get a reaction out of the other person in a negative fashion. Now, he truly wouldn't mind being killed by this boy, not that he would just let him of course.

Nash had sunk down low into his chair as the two other boys began to verbally spar and was scowling Whats with this village-?! Everyones so friggin weird! he thought, squirming as he tried to warm up from the brief chill of the room. Rubbing his hands together to get circulation started again, Nash raised an eyebrow And I thought I was suicidal. 'Cut me down'? No one here seems to care for their life... he sat up a little more in his chair and averted his eyes from the two boys. He just wanted to talk to the kage...hadn't planned to be witness to a fight or a murder.

"You're a sick f^&*." Koga said, his eyes narrowing. He
hadn't let go of the feeling- but he wasn't able to kill
someone like Reiki without an order. If he wasn't currently
threatening his village or the ones he loved- Koga had
not right to strike him down.
"You've got a god complex- get yourself under control.
All I see when I look at you is a genocidal maniac. No
good inside. I can promise you that if you provide me
with another demonstration of your cruelty like you
did today- I will kill you- there will be no remorse and
no hesitation." Koga's harsh cool was now fully in place
once again. With not even a little flourish he slid his
family's sword back into it's place on the center of his
back.
Where was Sei...

Where is the kage when you need him...? Nash felt only slightly better that the two boys weren't going to try and kill each other anymore. But sitting like he was, almost like a spectator, made him feel rude and he coughed slightly Geez...I want to go home or something! Anything but wait here for a lazy kage to show up. he rubbed under his nose to keep from sneezing.

Fishing around on the ground Koga passively retrieved
his Sand village headband and placed it to his head
with some reverence, whispering something, before
he wrapped the tails around the back of his head and
tied it in a knot.
Also of note was the fact that the well aged, much
weathered Star Village headband still dangled from his
waistband.

Nash watched Koga move around and his eyes narrowed at the head band, rubbing his own arm. His headband was usually tied around his left bicep but now...Where is that kage... he straightened in his seat and frowned when he saw a second, apparent, headband but averted his eyes anyway "So. Are you waiting for the kage too or...?" his voice was friendly as he spoke to Koga, staying in his seat with his hands in between his knees.

Koga gave a curt nod to dismiss the notion,
"I am waiting on a woman named Sei. I was ordered here to
receive training under her. The Kazekage informed me that
she was in this village so the Hokage sent someone to retrieve
her for me."
His tone was flat, polite but flat. It was like all the color was
drained from a painting even though it was exquisitely painted.
His gaze was respectful but placid- like someone who had JUST
rolled out of bed after WAY to little sleep.

Intrigued by Koga's manner of speach Nash leaned forward "Training? You mind saying what in?" he smiled with mild interest, watching the other boy carefully, curiousity replacing wariness "Kaze...thats Sand, right?" he held his chin in one hand as he moved to get more comfortable.

"Sorry- that's all I'm really willing to say about it." He added
rather apologetically- though it seemed a little rehearsed and
it was really impossible to tell if he was just being polite or
actually apologetic.
Koga looked the boy before him over rather quickly,
"I am from Sunagakure no Sato... yes, the Village Hidden in
the Sand... and yourself?"
((Do you have a profile up? I was wondering what Nash looks like so I don't have to say "boy" or whatever sweatdrop ))
