001 Reunions

Characters: Kadaj & OPEN TO ALL
Setting: Lower floors of the tower, dusk.
Format: Either
Summary: Kadaj Awakens. Oh, and kills an Orc.
Warnings: : A little bloody?


With a sickening squish the stolen kitchen knife was removed from the orc’s neck. It writhed on the ground, unable to scream or cry due to the blood that spurted out of the wound in its throat.

Kadaj walked in a wide circle around it. “Well, what do we have here?” He stopped at the head and crouched down next to its face, careful not to bloody himself. “You’re an ugly little monster aren’t you…” He stood and pressed his boot against its cheek, pushing its face away. The blood continued to squirt out evenly but in slow dying arcs from its neck.

Only moments earlier the young remnant had woken up in an unfamiliar territory. Before he could even consider where he was or how he got there this thing decided to attack him. It was the last action it would ever do.

The teen's brows furrowed as he took in the sight of the creature. “You’re not from Gaia.” That was… unsettling. But there was one thing that he was acutely aware of. A sensation. A pull, no—it was a compulsion to travel in a particular direction; and while he had never felt this urge before he knew exactly what it was.

The monster’s gasping breaths shook him from his thoughts. Kadaj looked down to note that its face was completely covered in thick dark blood. It grabbed at its throat and kicked its legs weakly. Its eyes, large and beady, stared at the remnant’s uncaring gaze, pleading.

He clicked his tongue in disgust. Though he would very much like to watch it die a slow and painful death as punishment for the audacity of attacking him, he decided to end it quickly. He wanted to find whatever was calling out to him.

“Don’t look at me that way.” Kadaj casually warned before abruptly jabbing the knife right into the monster’s trachea. It gurgled and sputtered for a final time. Did it die from choking on its own beastly fluids or blood loss? Whichever it was, it was irrelevant. The thing was dead and no longer held any interest. The orc’s body fell completely limp and its once animalistic frightened eyes rolled back into its head.

Kadaj smirked. “That’s better.”

Orihime's first instinct was to shrink away, maybe even run. But somehow, she managed to stay. Though her eyes were wide. Not only was she frightened by him, but she also had no idea what he was talking about.

But she managed to speak evenly, after a brief pause. "Who?"

Okay, so it was only one word, but she had managed it.

All she could do in reaction was to tense up and squeeze her eyes shut. When she realized she wasn't dead, or in pain, she opened one eye slowly. Then the other. She tried to look down at the knife, but her eyes moved slowly back to Kadaj's face.

"I-I really don't know! The administrators brought me here too, probably the same as you!" She stammered her sentence out quickly, while considering her options. He had moved quickly enough that she probably couldn't duck away to use one of her shields. And since her cutting attack wasn't an option either... All she could do was hope to redirect him away from his anger. ...Maybe.

"Mother?"

Orihime could tolerate a lot, and normally, she would have been happy that she had managed to figure out the cause of their miscommunication. But she was starting to think that even explaining things wouldn't change the way Kadaj was acting. Smearing her face with Orc blood was the tipping point though.

She stepped backward quickly, her back meeting the wall. With a flash of light, she brought her shield up between them, and the triangular wall of translucent yellow energy blocked him from touching her again... For the moment. She reached up and started to wipe the blood from her face, determinedly trying to keep herself from trembling.

"We're probably not from the same world. I don't know what Shinra is, or Cetra... So... So I'm not someone who is standing in your way."

Yet... Not that she could manage to say something like that. Since he seemed like wanted to destroy humans, or punish them somehow, it seemed likely that they would still be at odds once the situation was cleared up.
