When she told him where Rio was he shrugged and put his hands in his pockets then began walking towards the door. He looked back seeing her crawling towards the corner then looked forward again reaching for the door. He sighed as his hand dropped. [I]Great, Kenta[/I]...Kenta thought as he turned around walking back over to Nohime. Once she reached the corner he sat beside her, though gave her room.

"Going to try to make this quick since you're obviously afraid of men from what I assume are from bad past experiences, and atleast I'll be taking a heavy burden off my shoulders....And possibly helping someone in the process," Kenta said with a sigh, "It was around the time I was put into the Shinrai clan, maybe a week or few months after? Don't matter. There were some bad people there, and long story short I was taken and taken to some....Place, I'm not quite sure where. Buuuuuut I...Was raped and beat there by a single man. I won't go into detail, but I killed the guy a few days later and was taken back to the Shinrai clan. I was a bit shaken up about it, but happy that he was gone....But the point ain't that I was happy killing the guy, the point is that I stuck around the male dominant clan. I didn't get upset at every man I saw, just got mad at the bad people."

Kenta stood up and looked down at Nohime, "I guess it's a bit different with you though. Whatever expirence you had with a man, let it be rape, abuse, whatever....Just know that there are some men who has went through that too. Not every man hurts a woman, but every has been hurt by men....That's the saying right? Or something like that. You have all right to be cautious around every male, but attacking them is a different story. You just need to learn how to control that...."

Kenta let out a breath as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, that all seemed easier in my head.....But I wish you luck on that, Starfire or whatever your name is, alright? Yeah...." Kenta then began walking towards the door again, if the girl wanted to say anything then the time was now. He atleast got a relief of telling someone that, it was really never brought up in his mind until that one time with Minori. Repressed memories he guessed, but that never really got to him like the other events did, probably because all his care went to other people and little to himself.
