[quote=Phobos] The two stopped as Fumio and Souta approached. Lahel paid no attention to Souta and kept her eyes on Fumio "Hmmm, that man has an elegant aura around him. I think I want his soul too Ragnarok!" She told the towering man beside her. As he finished his sentence, an ominous wind passed through the area. Ragnarok raised his right hand, crimson particles of energy forming in the air. They began to merge and fuse, a sword forming in his hand. Lahel raised her hand "Wait, his face is familiar" Ragnarok nodded Lahel's face then showed a disgusted expression "So he's the uncle of that piece of trash" Ragnarok merely nodded, remaining in silence. Lahel waved at the two, with a grim smile "You're the one that lost Hozumi right? How does it feel knowing that thanks to you, that poor little boy is stuck in Hell. Who knows, he's probably already dead by now. Being tortured for the rest of his pathetic, little life" She said, giggling at the end as if she was amused by what she said [/quote] [u]Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru Hari[/u] Fumio suddenly turned around, stopping Souta in his tracks. [b]"I think it's time for you to return to normal, you've done enough form training for one day. You're much more stronger than you think Souta heh~"[/b] Fumio smiled at Souta before the latter nodded, bracing himself as he retracted his Crystal Spikes back into his body. Dropping to his knees, Souta hunched froward while placing his palms on the floor, breathing heavily. [b]"Ugh... fuck... [i]huu[/i]" "Just breath through the pain Souta... You'll get used to it eventually... hopefully..."[/b] Fumio looked down at Souta, frowning. If only Souta wasn't such a softy he wouldn't have to go through this pain... Fumio then turned back around. [b]"Come on, let's keep going Sout-"[/b] The odd-looking couple seemed closer than earlier, plus they were heading straight for him and Souta, waving at them. [b]"Do you... know these people Souta?"[/b] Fumio asked, raising an eyebrow as Souta slowly stood up and sheathed his blade. Taking a look at the strangers, Souta shook his head. [b]"Nope... I've never seen them before."[/b] Fumio glanced back at Souta before looking at the girl who began talking. [b]"Thanks to me? Well, from what you've just said, I assume you two have something to do with that so more thanks to you little girl. And heh, pathetic? What have you got against Hozumi? I don't believe he's ever met any of you. However, I'd like to see you say that to his mother hmhmhm, she's actually not that far from here in fact."[/b] Fumio's voice was smooth, unaffected by the girl's taunts since he'd hardly let others he didn't know nor care for make him angry. Souta, however, looked at the two in slight shock... He didn't expect them to know Hozumi at all, but why? What did Hozumi do to deserve a fate like that? Souta's temper was slowly raising however he held it down while keeping his mouth shut. Fumio could handle this, he was the more calmer one out of the two of them... well... in these sort of situations.
