It was dark the world around was nothing but darkness for the man on his rampage. "Death to all." He spoke flames forming at his hands as he set a tree on fire. His wings tucked against his back as he walked further in. His hand grazing the trees and foliage leaving glowing burn marks. The chain links jingled slightly as he walked. The beast had been released from his cage and was on a war path.

Kimiko had been roaming the forests in her panther form when she smelt fire. 'What's going on?' She thought and took off in that direction. She found the path he had taken and she growled and followed it. She finally caught up to him and she roared since in her panther for she couldn't talk. 'Why am I one of those unlucky demons who can't talk in my natural form...' She thought to herself.

He heard the howl of the cat as it approached him. Turning he let loose an equal howl as he looked the beast in the eyes. His hand glowing as he looked at the animal. His hands glowing a bright red. "What...do...you...want..." He spoke between breathes the pure anger emitted from him filled the area.

Kimiko looked at him and she sighed and shifted to her human form. "I want to know why you're burning my home!" She yelled angrily. "Do you even know how much damage you've caused? Look at the forest! You're killing it! And for what?! Because you're pissed off?! Not on my watch!" She said growling at him. "Now stop or I'll make you stop..." She said her big panther ears folding back in anger like any cats would.

"You...don't...scare...me..."He spoke as he leaned forward and revealed his canine teeth. "I've...seen...worse...then...you..."This monster repeated his hands glowing a bright red and a small flame began to flicker in his palms.

Kimiko hissed at him. "I don't care if I scare you or not... I will fight to save my home!" She yelled angrily. "Don't think a bit a fire will scare me!" She yelled her own canines shining at the moment.

"My...fire...destroys...all..."He spoke as he move his right hand in front of him as a small ball of fire flew from his hand at her. The moist air kept most of the fire at bay. "This...hate...burns..."Again shooting another fire ball.

Kimiko easily dodged the fire ball. "Look I can understand having a hate that burns so much you want to destroy everything... but you can't do that... don't punish everyone else for some one elses mistake!" She said and lept at him.

"You...have...no...idea..."He spoke as he gave a sudden gust of his wings and flew back some creating space. The moonlight penetrated the small opening. The newest marks across his chest could be seen in the light. The metal reflecting the light across the ground. His eyes had a look of a beast wanting revenge.

Kimiko growled when she hit the ground instead of him. "I do have an idea! You're not the only person in the world to be abused or hurt!" She said angrily. "I'm not saying don't be angry... I'm just saying don't take it out on the innocents... then you're just doing more of what was done to you!"

"I am nothing...I am merely an animal...I was created to be a laughing stock of those people...But they got cocky...I killed them with this power...I won't be the whipping boy ANYMORE!!!" He shouted his words more clear as he focused on this enemy in front of him. This time he held his hands in front of him creating a small fire between his hands as it began to grow bigger. "I'll destroy them all. I'll kill who were like them. and you, if you continue to attack me."

*gotta try and talk him down now. good luck lol*

The smell was different. The teenager couldn't recall smelling the smoldering smokey smell before. It was the curiosity of what the smell was that brought him to this place, at this time.. His eyes widened a bit at the fire.. The flames licking up around them.. He coughed once due to the smoke, and he moved, trying to find the source..

He gasped when he was suddenly cut off by a blaze, stepping back.. He turned, moving, he picked up his pace, going around.. Soon enough, he spotted the sorce.. The mans hands were.. they were...

Iskmari had never seen a fire demon before, and he was surprised.. He noticed Kimiko, and he looked at her questingly, before he looked back at the other man.. "what are you doing?" he didn't shout, didn't get angry.. His tone was merly, questinging, curious.. The boy, didn't understand, he might of been a teenager, but there was much he still did not know.

Kimiko growled. "I only attacked because you attacked me first!" She said angrily when she saw him and her eyes widened. "Iskmari..." she said quietly. "What are you doing here?" She asked but didn't look back at him and since Iskmari was sort of behind her she stepped over and blocked the beast's vision of him. "I don't want to fight you... I want you to stop burning my home.... if you stop we don't need to fight... but if you continue... I will kill you..." She said menacingly. She was serious also she wanted to get this over with since Iskmari was here she wanted to make sure he didn't get hurt too.

The man began to chuckle "You can't kill a demon. He merely comes back to haunt you." As the flame grew hotter and brighter. The hot air began to dry out the immediate area and small leaves began to crinkle because of it. "Your reason isn't good enough. I'll burn down the evidence. I'll burn everything they touched till only a barren world remains. This world is full of evil people like them. Everyone must burn!" The flames grew hotter once more nearing an almost white color.

His hair began to float with the vacuum that was being created in the forest. His wings shined revealing the bones. He was mad and soon the world would know it.

Iskmari looked up at Kimiko, and shook his head, "No, it's okay" he stated softly, the boy stepped around her, and slowly stepped forward, he blinked a bit more than normal, but with all the heat, it made the air feel dry...

He slowly walked forward, his gaze on the other man... A hand slowly moved, the childs taking hold of the others.. Where as one would normally be burned, Isk was unharmed by the flame.. "It's enough now... They're not here, are they?" he asked softly.. Looking up at the taller man.. "They're gone. We're here." he stated softly, his gaze unwavering... "And we wont hurt you" he stated softly..

He turned, looking at the forest. the fire.. was burning it... This wasn't right.. A hand moved, and pretty much out of no where, water seemed to come from his hand, siwrling from it, to put out the flames, to keep the trees from dying in the heat.

Kimiko blinked. "Isakmari... you're... a water elemental?" She said surprised. Iskmari had never told her or his father about this. 'Maybe Iskmari can do more than I can... I fight like he does... with instinct... just fight to kill... I'm a beast at heart to...' She thought to herself.

The water began to boil and steam filled the air. The fire never dying against his will. "Your words mean nothing to me. You look and talk just like them." He spoke his tone harsh towards the boys own words. The man's body had a red glow as the heat from his own body began to burn the metal around his wrist and neck. Hotter and hotter the heat grew till the metal just poured off of him. It was at the point the beast felt more calm and died the fire down.

One gust of his wings as he flew a few feet from the two in front of him. His mind began to race memories of a time long ago. Of when he was a boy just wanting to have fun. Of when he just wanted to be normal again. But it was gone as soon as it appeared. The hate grew once more but a more calm, controlled anger. "They took everything from me. And for that they will pay dearly."

Iskmari took a slow step back when the other moved up, his eyes following him... He looked, and spoke just like them? He slowly looked to Kimiko... Sadness in his gaze.. "Am I a bad person?" he asked her softly... To be like those that made this other so filled with rage? If he was like them.. that meant he was a bad person right? The boy didn't understand.

Kimiko gently grabbed Iskmari once the man was away and she looked at him gently and pulled him close. "No Iskmari... you're not a bad person... " She said gently and kissed his forehead motherly. "Let me handle this okay...' She said gently as she let him go and stood protectively in front of Iskmari. "You're the only one around he like them! You're hurting us and for what?! Because you're pissed off?! The only bad person here is you!" she said angrily. "You're doing to us what they did to you!"

The last words from the female rang in his mind. What he was doing was what they did to him...He let it sit in his mind and spoke once more "What I'm doing is nothing compared to what they did to me. "They killed me... and brought back a demon." His words cold and crisp as he looked into the womens eyes. "You have no idea what they have done." Again his words cold and calculating maybe this would settle the argument.

Isk stayed where Kimiko basically put him.

[brain fart sry ^^;]

Kimiko growled. "Yeah well you're trying to take everything from us so that makes you no better than them! Maybe you're doing it a different way... but the motives probably still the same... you're pissed off so you're hurting some one else!" She growled out angrily.

The man stood still fire still in hand. "Let me show you what they do. They have a sister camp in the area. Maybe you can smell the blood from here." As he looked at her once more. "Maybe you'll see the reason then." As he reduced the fire and pointed towards the northern area. "I'm sure they've heard about my escape. And are probably fortifying their position."

[skip me for now, he's just standing there]

Kimiko sighed. "I don't give a damn if they're fortifying against you... I just want you to stop destroying my home... I'm sure what you've been through is hell and I can't imagine what they did but you have no right destroying the forest because you're pissed..." She said trying not to growl. "Save your anger for the people who deserve it... and I'll help you get revenge if you'd like......" She said quietly.
