The Dynamic Swordsman and the Flame Spirit [Social | Kenshi and Nuria]

Kenshi Soretsu, often called the Dynamic Swordsman, was practicing his magic in the Forgotten Desert. He didn't want to do it around other people in case he accidentally triggered his alter-ego, who named himself Kurai. When Kurai comes out, havoc is wreaked. So, Kenshi trained far away from other people, so there would be no risk of somebody getting hurt. With a look of concentration on his face, he activated his magic. A large, white magic seal, a half a meter across with four fleur-de-lis's arranged in a circle in the center of the seal, formed below his feet. It slowly moved up his body, which was totally bare except for a pair of shorts. Wherever the seal touched his skin, it transformed it into solid steel. When it finally reached the very top of his head and vanished, Kenshi heaved a sigh. He was not the best with his magic, but this was the last spell he needed to master. And it seems he had finally done it. He closed his eyes and grinned. "Arma Soul: Armored Soul. Finally."

Nuria was walking through the so-called forgotten desert. There was nothing to do, nothing to burn, no chaos to wreak. She wandered throughout everywhere, looking left to right, sand. Sand. More sand. "Ugh this is so boring! What is there to do out in this stupid place! How did i even come to get here? Ugh this is SOO BORING!" Nuria was yelling at the top of her lungs, then decided it was pointless to yell for absolutely no reason. She sighed and wandered off somewhere to the left, not knowing wherever she was going. She whistled while walking, heating up the sand she walked on immensely but not superheating it so that she would literrally be walking on glass. Lets see.... North is that way... no that way.... that way? Damnit!!! she thought. "UGH!" she yelled, then walked with her arms down with an absolutely pissed off expression.[/color]

"...SOO BORING!" Kenshi started at the sudden loud shout, and his Take Over wavered, then reformed. Kenshi turned to the source of the shout, peering into the distance. He saw something very strange. A section of the desert was sparkling, as though made of crystal. Kenshi began to run at the sparkling section, his steel-weighted body shaking the ground like he was a juggernaut. Within minutes, he felt a distinct rise in temperature. Looking around for the source, he made the mistake of not paying attention to the surface of the ground he was pounding over. Seconds later, he tripped over a rock and went flying forward. His momentum was so great, he skidded face-first for several meters. It didn't hurt, as his skin was solid metal. When his skid finally ended, he found himself at the foot of someone. Someone whose feet were bright orange, glowing and extremely hot. Kenshi clambered to his feet and found himself face-to-face with a girl who appeared to be made out of fire.

Nuria had been walking then a man.... no a boy older than her.... no a young man came just about from nowhere. He skidded face first towards her and landed at her feet, she didnt seem mad she just looked confused. Was his skin made of metal? "You're a metal elemental, what are you doing in the desert? I mean i really shouldn't be out here either but you are completely out of setting." The young man stood up in front of her, and Nuria put her flaming hand on his cheek. Yup, metal. "So, why haven't you sank into the sand? You clearly are not an averagely weighted person, so the sand should have engulved you by now." Nuria spoke out of what she knew, and what she knew... or what she thought she knew was this man was made of metal, so he was a spirit of the element, kinda like her being a spirit of fire. She had never encountered a spirit of metal before, she just knew they were closely related to earth spirits, or dryads. But had they really existed? Well now she had proof that they did.

"Uh... I'm not an Elemental.. what ever that is." Kenshi said in response to the glowing girl's question. "I'm just a normal human. Watch." he said, then canceled Armored Soul. His metal skin wavered, then became organic flesh in a flash of light. The instant it did, her hand began to burn his face, so he jerked away. "Wow, you're really hot." he said, not realizing what he said.

Nuria blushed deeply, her face didnt turn red instead a darker shade of orange. This guy just appeared out of nowhere and calls her hot like this? Flattering, but definitely a bad setting for it. "Who do you think you're talkin to!!!?" Nuria growled, and sent a fiery punch to his arm and then quickly turned around. She appreciated the compliment, but she couldnt handle showing her appreciation to the compliment. "Why do you think Im hot anyway...?" she muttered, taking a few steps outward.

Kenshi was, in a word, confused. When she called the fire girl hot, she seemed to blush, then she punched him and yelled at him. The punch was nothing he couldn't handle, even though it was enveloped in fire. Ignoring the burning sensation, he stared concernedly after the girl. "I didn't mean to offend you, it's just that you burned my face with your hand. I guess it's because you're an Elemental, isn't it? Are you a Fire Elemental?" he said, walking after her. He didn't understand why she was so upset, but he would try his hardest to make up for it.

Nuria made a "tch!" sound. "Pfft. First you make a stupid compliment now you just try to rebut it!? What kind of guy are you huh?" Nuria turned around and stopped, only giving the unknown young man a scowl. "And try not to state the obvious Einstein, of course Im a fire elemental. But you are nothing like me, none of my kind. And you led me to believe you were one of the most rare! Do you LIKE to toy with me!!!?" Nuria's eyes flashed orange completely as fire surrounded her hands, indicating her obvious rage which was just from a stupid misunderstanding.

"Of course I'm not an Elemental, though I can see how you got that idea. I'm a simple Take-Over mage from Sabertooth. What you saw, when my skin was metal, was my defense spell, Armored Soul. I apologize for misleading you. I was in this desert practicing the activation of Armored Soul when I saw the desert glittering. Curiosity overcame me, so I ran as quickly as I could to here. Again, I apologize for misleading you." said Kenshi. "My name is Kenshi. Kenshi Soretsu, the Dynamic Swordsman of Sabertooth." he said, bowing in the Japanese style as he introduced himself.

Nuria turned around again, and then began walking. "I dont need your apologies, you have done enough damage already. Apologies mean nothing when compared to proving that you are truly sorry. And you havent proved anything except you know how to piss someone off." Nuria continued walking until she stopped a couple of meters off, then balled up her fists. "what is your deal anyway? Do you think just by telling me your name and saying youre sorry all is good? Newsflash, its not."

At the girl's words, Kenshi threw himself onto the ground at her feet. Lying prostrate, he said "I am truly sorry for causing you distress. I knew not how my words would affect you. Please forgive me." When he was done speaking, he looked up at the girl, eyes sparkling with tears of sorrow that he had upset her.

Nuria gave the guy a "You know you could do better and I'm not impressed" look. "Seriously? "Oh you are about to cry, you have won my heart over oh i forgive you"" She said sarcastically. Nuria was having enough of this guy, he was doing no more than he was before. Just some goodie-goodie like just about everyone else she has met with."I dont know you, but I know you could do better. Like I said, saying sorry means nothing. And crying won't do anything either. You try to much to reach a goal you will never reach. Just leave me alone." Nuria still stood there, looking down upon him for a few more seconds until she began walking off again, then once she was a reasonable distance away she just sat down in the grass, watching it heat up as small particals of sand turned into glass.
