They call me the seeker... (open)

As Kakushi wandered down the streets of demon city, he recalled his last few days. First he had arrived back in demon city about a week ago, after a knowledge expedition. Since he had arrived back he had been getting progressively more bored by the day. There wasn't much to do in demon city. Sure, there was lots of action in the city, but based on his expeditions in the human world, that was fairly dull.

"That's it!" He exclaimed, drawing looks from passerby. If I can't get anything to come to me, he thought, I'll go and find something. He calmed himself and focused. Since he was in shifter form for conveinence, his usual fire and ice energies didn't get in the way.

That's odd... He thought and rechecked what it was he had glimpsed. An odd thing, to be sure. Definitely something I could learn from. So he proceed towards the strange energy signature. When he reached it, he realized that it was on an abandoned street, and leapt out in front of it exclaiming;

"Greetings. My name is Kakushi Misuto. I was wondering what it is your doing in the demon city alone? Do not worry; I wish you no harm. However, I do hope to learn something from this encounter. So tell me, What might you be?

Kakushi stopped in his tracks, lost for words. It was that kid from the other day! From his spar against Dai! How odd. How did he get into demon world, if he wasn't a demon? Kakushi shook his head slowly, he was shocked. Wait a second. He thought, connecting dots in his head. When I called on Za Koa during my spar with Dai, I did sense some presence. He definetly is not a demon. But, that doesn't mean there isn't anything demon about him.

“As eager to learn as always eh?” Zen chuckled. “Oi don’t tell
me you forgot about me already… and if you really want to learn something I can
teach you a thing or two.”

"Yes, Zen." Kakushi replied, remembering Zen's hurried introduction after their first meeting. "I still believe that knowledge is power. So tell me, what are you doing here? And also, I'm wondering how it is I work for the law and order of the demon world when I really want knowledge. But nevermind. So, how have you been? From the sound of it, you seem like you actually could help me learn." Kakushi paused, out of breath. "So, how do you propose we proceed from here? Would you like to spar? Or perhaps I could give you a tour of demon city, since it seems at least part of you may recognize this place."

Zen was taken aback by the mans insight. He could already tell that he was housing a demon... somehow. But Zen didn't really want to see a city he couldn't feel wind in, and Yin was fast asleep. After she had found a way to make the guns work and assimilated with them, she decided it was time to hibernate, when she awoke she would be stronger and ready to study more. However, for right now she was out of commotion, not that Zen particularly minded. He knew she needed to get her rest, and if he didn't all but force her to sleep she'd be reminiscing about the old days of the demon city.

As to how Zen got here, he wasn't completely sure. "Honestly... getting here was the hard part, I'm not even sure how I did it but... it's been done. I remember folowing you then boom! Here I was and am. Haha... yeah." Zen said semi-awkwardly."As for you quest for knowledge... I believe a bit of sparring is in order don't you think?" Zen said. It was hard enough to contain himself as it was. Him being in a city full of demons, the little bit of demon in his blood was beginning to boil. Not in he needed to fight and kill something way, but more of a sense of restlessness. Zen nodded to the man as to propose that the man should set his own rules and limitations. He didn't want this spar to be under his control... he wanted to be surprised. It had been a while since he got any fighting action and by god he was ready for some.

Kakushi mulled over Zen's words. He didn't know how he got here? And he was following Kakushi? Well, it seems I'm not the only one who is seeking knowledge.

"So you do want a spar. Well then, let me propose this." Kakushi began, starting to change form. "Considering how strong you must be to have totally concealed yourself when I sparred Dai, you must be quite strong." Kakushi jacket burned brighter as the gloves formed and his appendages grew."Let's do something I have just thought up! Do you remember the Boru Shi? I have been experimenting. This new Boru Shi is completely white and I have altered it to be like the human's volleyball. That is, it does not explode when it touches a living being. The Boru Shi flies up vertically when it is touched. It also takes a small amount of energy from what it touches until it detonates. This keeps the initial energy cost down. Know that this is entirely experimental." Then Kakushi paused and smiled, glad at his idea. His lower half began finishing the transformation.
"So, we spar while trying to keep the ball from detonating! That is what I propose!" Kakushi finished transforming as the horns grew from the back of his head. His idea was excellent. It was interesting and would allow him to learn how they both acted under pressure, while still being able to spar properly.

"Does that sound good to you, Zen?"

"Heh, thats the best idea Ive heard in a long time. On
your quest for knowledge, it seems you also gained ingenuity."

"Well, I do try to use what I know." Kaksuhi paused as Zen prepared himself, wondering how something so small could have so much energy."Ok then, lets get it started. I am eager to try this out. And yes, after this session I will indeed tell you how i prevent from melting!"

Then Kakushi paused as Zen finished preparing himself. Za Koa, please give me the neccesary strength. As he completed the prayer, a ball of white energy formed in his bronze guantlet. Kakushi threw it in the air, then pressed the ball directly towards Zen. The ball flew swiftly, but not so fast that Zen couldn't react to it. Kaksuhi was glad at how smoothly it worked. And then...

"I won't be able to hold back if this is to be effecient! Time for another trick I have been itching to try!" Then Kakushi raised his hands to the sky, and cried: "Touketsu, let the blood rain down on the battle field and taint their souls!" His body glowed red, and he snapped his fingers. "Underworld Rain!" He shouted, and his torso burned more intensely as the hellfire began raining up and down the street for 150 meters.

Ah, crap. He's a flame user as well. Was all Kakushi could think as Zen began to rotate the flames. Oh well. When the goblet formed, Kakushi began to wonder just how that worked. I guess he rotates the flames and uses momentum to control and shape them however he wants. Then Zen shrunk the flames (Which still had Kakushi's hellfire inside.), and placed the ball on it. Kaksuhi began to prepare himself. In theory, the hellfire came from me, and it doesn't seem that his fire has any special properties.Hmmm....

And then Kakushi smiled as the tornado sped towards him. He focused his mind and tried something. He studied the tornado again, measuring its speed and rotation. Then he forced the flames on his torso to shift and change, until a shape like a small box appeared, which had the same height as the diameter of the tornado. Here it comes!

Kakushi braced himself, than used a small demon flash step to toss the ball into the air. Then the tornado hit the box of flames that Kakushi had made. Since he was made of fire, he wasn't burnt, but the impact knocked his breath out and made his legs steam a bit from the added heat. Then he tried his experiment. He merged the flames of his body with the flames made by Zen, fusing the two together. Then he further made a handle of less heat form at the back of the box. He took his right bronze glove grabbed the handle that had spurt out of his torso, turning the tornado of hellfire into a drill.

"Wow, I can't believe that worked. I mean, it was sound in theory, but, wow." Then Kakushi reared back with the tip of the drill, and pushed it in front of the ball. It didn't connect, but Kakushi knew the tornado could influence the balls rotation. The ball shot away from the flames, quickly rotating as it flew towards Zen.

Now that the ball is taken care of, back to the fight. Kakushi used a larger demon flash step to appear to Zen's side, so Zen didn't just dodge and the ball hit Kakushi in the face. Kakushi looked down at Zen and brought the drill down...
