Posted: May 21st
From: Kiryuu Zero
Location: Temple of Hades

[ The video turns on showing Zero in a dark room inside his temple. A quiet look falls across his eyes as he faces the camera. He's not one to speak to people let alone about himself but after his encounter with Sheryl, he has no choice. He knows what happened even if he can't remember it. He lost control. ]

My name is Zero Kiryuu and I was here before as a shinki.

[ A pause as he squares his shoulders to face his crimes.  ]

I need to know if I killed someone.

They took my memories when I was brought back as a god but that doesn't erase my crimes. I need to know what happened. What I did.

I won't let this go.


[ OOC: He doesn't know he died, he simply assumes his loss of memories is due to the whole turning a shinki into a god deal. Some kind soul, please spring that up on him. Also, for any future in-action meet ups Zero will mysteriously have some pomegranate fruit/seeds on him at all times. If you eat them you'll be sentenced (only if you want!) to stay one night at his temple before the seeds effects let them escape! ]

[ It's so strange--large fruit in his hands, tiny seeds in Zero's. It's curious. He wants to know more. But now, now is not the time to. ]

You should learn, then, if you want to do your job right.

...Who knows what I could truly be.

[moonlitknight]

You're lonely.

[ That much he could tell. ]

It makes you unpredictable.

[candyconsumption]

You helped me in finding my current god.

The one I had before... he...

...Let us say, he did not take care of me.

[moonlitknight]

........

[ Okay. Now you have his attention. ]

What happened?

[candyconsumption]

You were godless, and you wandered... shinki need gods to protect them just as much as gods need shinki for ayakashi. Or else...

They meet the same fate as you did.

I started to wander... and I felt lost... but you were there.

You gave me enough strength to find another god who would look after me.

[moonlitknight]

[ He... remembered being godless. That feeling of abandonment was the only thing from his time as a shinki that they had let him keep. But for him to help another wandering soul.... ]

You had that strength in you all along.

[ Whatever he said or did, didn't change that. At best, he'd given him a push in the right direction, nothing more. ]

[candyconsumption]

I don't know. [ He looked up at him. ]

You called me a coward.

1/2

[moonlitknight]

.........

2/2

[moonlitknight]

[ That sounds like something he'd say. But then, he'd only say it if: ]

Were you?

[ Nope. Not apologizing for that one. ]

[candyconsumption]

[ You ass-- ]

Are you saying that if a shinki is nervous about sticking up for themselves in the presence of their god, the one that possesses them, it makes them a coward?

You're a god now.

If you wanted to, you could do whatever you wanted with me, and I wouldn't be able to stop you.

You may have been brave enough to wander around godless, but in the end it certainly bit you in the ass, didn't it, just as you ran around biting as many people as you could get your hands on.

So does it?

Am I still a coward to you?

[moonlitknight]

[ Oh, he's been taunted by better demons than you, Itachi. That little stab won't get a reaction out of him. ]

You stopped being a coward the moment you chose your own god.

[candyconsumption]

If you claim I always "had it in me", then I was technically never one in the first place, Zero-san. You should watch what you say.

With all of the madness going around between the shinki and the gods, you saying something so cruel will not help you in any case.

Or me.

It didn't help me, either.

It just... it just hurt. So if that was your aim, congratulations.

[moonlitknight]

[ A quiet look as the Hunter comes to a conclusion. ]

You should go home. Back to your temple.

[candyconsumption]

And you? Are you returning to yours? Or...

Do you have business elsewhere?

[moonlitknight]

I don't have anywhere to be.

[candyconsumption]

Will you walk me home?

1/2

[moonlitknight]

[ There's a long moment of silence while the Hunter simply stares at him. Unsure, until at long last. ]

2/2

[moonlitknight]

[ He shakes his head knowing he shouldn't but then remembers his promise and sighs, running a hand behind his head. ]

Your god won't like it.

[ A warning. ]

[candyconsumption]

Do you know him? [ He knows the answer, kind of. He knows Sasuke was attacked by him but he doesn't know if he ever knew Zero, or if he does now. ]

[moonlitknight]

Should I?

[ He doesn't know Sasuke is Itachi's shinki. ]

[candyconsumption]

Not to my knowledge. That is why I asked. How would you know what my god would or would not appreciate, otherwise.

[ He just gestures, with his hand. ]

Walk me home.

[moonlitknight]

Attacking someone in their care is reason enough.

[ He didn't need to be a god to understand that simple truth. ]

.....

[ He looks at that hand and for a moment he's seemingly unmoving before turning to follow through with that request. ]

[candyconsumption]

[ He watched him for a moment, before heading along with him, leading him to his god's temple. ]

[moonlitknight]

[ At the temple's steps, Zero comes to a stop. ]

You ahead.

[ He'll wait there until he's safely inside. ]

[candyconsumption]

[ He glanced to the taller man, giving him a nod of his head. ]

All right. Until next time, Zero-san. [ With that, he offered a small, fluid wave of his hand before walking off, heading up the steps to Kali's temple. ]
