Sousuke

Loves oath he thought to him self it was pretty much the opposite of his own weapon bloods oath. It amused him a little since his was made to hurt an enemy as much as possible and keep the pressure on where as her weapon seemed be a swifter end.

"I like the idea I have to admit I'm quite flattered." He said as he followed her along the path.

Sousuke followed Manta into the teleportation system and followed her down but as luck would have it he was useless with the teleporters and flew out the end at high speed yelling as he flew past past Manta. Time seemed to slow down just for a second as he flew past Manta with a XD expression on his face before colliding head first with a snow drift.

Sousuke looked down at the blade his scarf style cape blowing in the wind behind them. The craftsmanship of the blade was remarkable not unlike his own. The blade gleaming in the low sun.

"Thats one heck of a blade." He remarked before turning his head towards the valley. He knew there were plenty of mobs about down there and of the two locations they were the weaker ones so he deemed it safer.

"The valley sounds great too so what are we looking for?" He asked pulling her a little closer.

Sousuke Sat down on the edge of the fountain after Sakura had 'come clean' bout some his past before SAO he decided now was probably a good idea to explain to Kou what it was all about.

"It wasn't the army that I was in Kou it was a secret military organization more commonly known as a PMC or private military company. They we called mithril and they went around the country picking out kids who showed exceptional ability in certain fields. I was one of the few who met every criteria so I was whisked off without little warning. I spent my teenage years in places you wouldn't want to think about and I've done things no good man should man should do but I served my country and fought for what I believed in that's why I got discharged for not following orders." He explained 

Sakura seemed to be standing there waiting for one of use to say something and her gaze was making me feel uneasy.

Sousuke reached up and grasped her hand allowing himself to be pulled up on to the rock as he grinned at the comment she made bout her best memories. He looked around once up on top with her and observered the landscape. To the west there was the valley which lead to the fields and to the north was the mountain he had venturered up once or twice.

"Where to the mountain or the valley?" He asked her as he stood behind her wrapping his arms round her waist and resting his head on top of hers.

Sousuke was facing away from the others his card billowing in the wind as the boss fell. His col counter ticked up as he heard Kou finish the beast off. Manta mentioned some sort of potion to them too. He had no idea what it was so he thought hey what's the harm in it.

"Yea go on I'll take it if it's ok with Kou?" He said as he turned around pulling his hood and mask down.

Sousuke followed her a few steps behind stretching his arms up and yawning. He hadn't slept much the past few days but that was because he had been busy getting ready to reopen his shop. It was hard work getting it all back in place but he couldn't wait to get started. The mountain ranges looked really impressive from here and he remembered his days back in his old guild when he came to train here. That was before he left for the frontlines and began working on clearing the mobs out for the guilds to reach the boss.

"Brings back memeries this does." He said out loud.

Sousuke had just enough energy left to go in for another stun as the first stun wore off hopefully if he got this right his companions could finish off the boss and not a single one would be touched he rushed forward as Manta landed skillfully dodging a huge swipe from the shark and jumped forward activating horizontal square again this time aiming to deal as much damage as possible. He picked out its weak point and went all out.

"YOUR MINE!" He screamed at the top of his voice swiping four times at the weak spot and causing huge damage as well as inflicting bleed and stun on his opponent.

Sousuke finished up his drawing and couldn't help but giggle he had to admit she looked rather silly but cute as well in a weird way. He got up and offered Manta his hand. He liked that idea getting some fighting done and doing it as a couple. She knew how to please a man when it came to these kinds of things.

"Well then lead the way I'm ready for whatever you have planned for us." He said optining to keep his hood down for once. He wouldn't be able to kiss her if he had it up after all.

Sousuke giggled as Manta woke up next to him and had figured out he had drawn on her face he had to admit it wasn't to bad a drawing although it needed a touch up he had to admit.

"Ehhh I'm here for our date remember?" He told her as he tried to figure a way he could make his moutashe he had drawn curly with out her noticing.

Sousuke was at the back of the pack when the shark appeared. Manta attacked first just bearly missing. He calmly drew his sword and looked for an opening as he began circling the creature.

Sousuke drew a pair of glasses and a moustache on Manta and stood back to admire his handy work. It should teach her not to fall asleep randomly in the middle of no where. After all she could have been pked by someone if she wasn't waking up to him drawing on her face. He grinned to himself and took a seat next to her waiting for her to wake up still in his combat gear.

Sousuke received a message from amanta telling him to meet up for a date so of course he replied and set out. What was strange was he was asked to bring his gear so he did but he has no idea why. What was also strange was that they were to meet up on the seventh floor so he had no idea what they were going to do. Once he arrived at the meeting place in full combat gear he noticed Manta asleep so he thought he'd have some fun. He began to draw on her face.

Sousuke Sat up from the fountain yet again soaked from head to foot. Was this for real was his sister still alive and in front of him and had she got yet another persona this one seemed so cocky.

"Sakura what are you doing here? I thought you were dead like the others!" He called as he jumped up embracing her.

"How have you been sis we need to catch up." He said hugging his sister. 

Sousuke looked looked at pendant That Manta had equipped he particularly liked the name of the pendant and laughed.

"Hey Kou did you get hit in the process of that being made?" He asked sarcastically before he gave Manta a quick kiss and pulled his mask and hood back up.

"Ready to get going then?" He asked waiting for the others.

Sousuke looked up to see Kou a friend of his and another girl who seemed familiar yet something about her was was off. He looked at Kou and smiled before remembering he had his hood and mask up so he pulled them down and repeated the action. That must have looked really awkward he thought to himself.

"Hey how are you doing Kou when did you get here and who's the red head?" He said motioning towards the girl.

Sousuke had come back to the second floor for a visit. He liked this place. There were people everywhere and he was wearing his combat gear again hiding his face. In crowds like this he preferred keeping himself anonymous so he wasn't hassled but he has a feeling that was about to change as he sat on the edge of a fountain.

Sousuke saw a friend of his approaching from somewhere off to right and not only did he notice him he also completely blew his cover. He pulled hood and mask down with a sigh of defeat and turned to whine at calrex. 

"Aw come on cal I gotta keep up appearances you know I am the mysterious stranger after all." He said before turning back to group.

"Alright guess the gigs up, names Sousuke I'm a member of the dapper rouges. If you ever see me about dresses like this don't worry it usually means I'm out scouting and mapping the place. If you need help with anything just let me know." He said not wanting to tell them he was also one of the few players soloing the front lines. That could be intimidating to them.

Sousuke turned to Manta first apologizing for attacking her and hugging her gently and whispered in her ear.

"If I'm honest you look beautiful and you've gotten a lot faster I was lucky to be able to even draw my sword." He said as he pulled back and winked at her. He let go of her and have a fake cough before addressing them both.

"Looks like I'm fighting a boss then." He said chuckling.

OOC emmerath I'll have Sousuke double check that he wasn't imagining things then and have him double check the roof

Sousuke wasn't sure about the group in front of him since they just seemed to be standing around chatting idly to him. There seemed to have been a slight bust up on one side of the group however and he decided to wait and see what happened. He wasn't even sure if the person on the roof actually was Emmerath and if it was why was he hiding in the first place. He decided to scan the roof tops again from were he was standing to see if he could catch a glimpse of who ever it was he saw on the roof earlier.

He couldn't see anyone though after scanning the rooftops again so who ever it was that was up there must have moved on so he returned his attention back to the group.

Sousuke shrugged at the comment from Kou it wasn't like he did anything wrong and he was getting used to how she acted so he just blew it off with a quick wave before heading outside into the cold night air his survivor skill kicking in as he went. He knew Kou would try corner him again and that she would try mess with him. But he wasn't sure how he would react and he had a revenge plan to enact on her.

Sousuke looked at the girl before sheathing his sword and mentally slapping himself how could he not recognize Manta. She had only switched her look a little but this was a game after all and when someone rushes at you with a rapier what exactly are you going to do let them stab you?

"Hold up hold up your Manta? Oh how dense could I be I have to admit you look nice and all but try not to skewer me next time will us? I'd rather not be turned into skewered rouge." He said chuckling to himself.

Sousuke looked towards the sun himself as it began to set on the horizon the colours making for a beautiful landscape view. The air felt great on his face and the way Manta just clung onto him made him feel like he truely belonged in this world even if just for a short while he was in complete bliss.

Sousuke shrugged at what Kou said and decided to just go with it. He looked at Manta in a funny way though and he had no idea what that meant. He decided he would make Kou a skirt anyway and she could wear it when she felt like it.

"Your getting one anyway Kou just wear it when you feel like it if you could message me your measurements I'll get it sorted." He said grinning to himself.

The girl he had seen talking to Kou a moment ago drew her sword and he instantly knew something wrong. He drew his own blade as his passives kicked in and He looked around trying to figure what alarmed her. He looked back just in time to see the girl lunging at him and reacted faster than he ever had before. Wether it was luck or her was getting more used the game he didn't know but he manages to parry the attack before it landed knocking her sword from her hand. He had heard his name at some point during that exchange to and was worried someone was after him. He held the blade tip pointing towards the girls throat before speaking in his raspy tone when he was serious.

"Whos after me and who are you working for?" He said pulling his mask down revealing his face to the girl glaring at her with a face that said mess with me.
