Welcome to Gaia! ::

Andrew walks slowly into the house, and finally looks down at the cold remains of his sword, which he had held tight with one hand, the segments of the blade were still outside, only the hilt, grip and wire remained with him..."An wounded assassin without his most trusted weapon of his trade.....i am an almost worthless and blunted instrument of death" he said sadly, before looking up, "you realise that you would have won our match?" he asked Neko, "And i never break my word...i have my honour and pride....i will change my dark ways...if i can, it is difficult for someone to change their very way of life."

As Andrew said this a Raven flew through the open door and landed on the table, blinking as it looked around, the moment it saw Andrew's tatoo on his face it bowed its head, before turning into a piece of paper...the letter was addressed to Andrew, it was from someone calling themselves 'Sensei Dreadclaw'...there was blood staining the edge, as if the person who had sent it had died doing so.

Andrew limps over and picks up the letter, noticing the blood straight away, than he saw who it was from, "Sensei!" he said in surprise, then once he read it he fell to his knees, a look of utter devestation on his face, tears running down his cheeks, "No....this has to be a trick" he sobbed.

"Not just him....my entire family....3 days ago...by PARIUS ASAKURA!" Andrew shouted, his tears gone, the look on his eyes had not been seen before by anyone else in the room except Azuris, who looks scared, "Everyone out the room...move slowly, do..not..say..a..word" Azuris whispered.

There was only a single thought running through Andrew's mind now, a thought of complete and utterly consuming rage, the next person to get his attention would be attacked with 100% full deadly force (consider that in his battle against Neko he was only using 10%)

Andrew sat there, his anger had nowhere to go, he would not lash out, "How...could it destroy its own decendants?...PARIUS!!!" he shouted, and limped over to his coat, taking the gun from the hidden pocket, then returning to the table, where he knelt, his eyes closed, trying to use an assassin's trick...focusing his anger into something usuable, "I vow on the departed spirits of my family....i will destroy Parius and all his lackies...even if it means i die with them....i will become the avenger, the spirit of death, as it was meant to be....my only purpose now is vengence" he said quietly in a trance-like state, a black aura surrounding him...his furioku somehow taking on a visible form without the aid of a spirit. With a loud roar Andrew rose to his feet, and placed the gun in a holster inside his suit jacket.

Azuris meanwhile had looked through the door, "its safe again...we can enter."

"This is nothing, last time he got this angry was in a town center....lets just say that town is rather empty...and in ruins." Azuris said with a anime sweatdrop.

"i will be...when my vow is fulfilled" Andrew said calmly, then looked again to the remains of his sword, "Where can i get my enja fixed?.....i do not carry all the tools with me for this amount of major repairs." he said

Andrew steps foward towards the door, he was still badly wounded, and didn't look like he'd survive the night without medical aid, "I better be going.....i wouldn't want to complicate matters....Parius will undoubtedly follow me instead of waiting for you to improve....at least i can buy you time...though the price may well be my life."

"What is it?" Andrew asks Mike
