KurosaixRairii

[The Lion Turtle]

XD Kurii! It's offical! Well... o.o Not yet, but it's another pairing that should happen...

[kurosai]

XD I can see it now, their constant bickering and then Mesh and Midori's comments on their acting like a married couple, leading to Kuro/Rai to bicker even more. Hehehe...

***walking through the woods, Kuro and Rai are bickering away again while Mesh, Midori, Xia, Kura and the children watch helplessly***

Kuro: I think we should go this way!

Rai: You moron! That'll take us too long, we should go this way!

Kuro: You're the moron, that takes us through Fire territory!

Rai: Ugh, you eartheads are all the same! It's a faster route and right now that's what we need!

Kuro: Well you're a hothead and I say we should take the safer path!

Rai: Hah! Calling me a hothead, you're the one leaping at anything resembling the Fire Nation!

Kuro: Maybe I wouldn't be leaping around so much if you'd stopped steering us right into them!

Rai: Oh so it's my fault we keep running into trouble!?

Kuro: Yeah, it is! I bet you're just pretending to be on our side so you can backstab us later!

Rai: Argh! Could you stop being a paranoid freak for one day!?

***and so it went on and on till nightfall***

XD hehehe...

[midori]

*cracks up*

I'm proud to say I started this...

[rairii]

*giggles* It's stuff like this that gives me no doubt we have no lives... Especially since my boredom created fan art for it.. o.0 And "Three Halves of a Whole Idiot presents... Narutards"... Don't ask.
Kurii... The sort of thing only found in soap operas... Until now.
Kurii... Just when you thought Zutara was weird.
Kurii... Coming soon to a CBox near you.
Riley... Has no life.

[kura]

That's great Rai XD

[kurosai]

I have no life and I'm proud of it! Mwuahahaha!!

[rairii]

Yeah... Now for Last night's CBox convo and a few fan art pieces. ^^
Last Time on Kurii in the Making:
Previously, Kuro has been taking revenge on Rairii for throwing a ball of fire at him, and Meshy and Midori for trying to hold him back. After so much time of failing to calm him down, Rai and Kuro make a deal to talk it out. Rairii's attempts at playing psychiatrist fail and they're back at square one. Kuro ends up storming back to camp, hiding in his tent. Rairii finds herself walking over, and then the talking begins. *suspenseful music*

Act Two, Scene One
Rairii: ...*knocks on tent* ... Kuro?
Kuro: ...what do you want... here to taunt me more...?
Rairii: ... No...
Kuro: ...*clears the rock away from the entrance, but keeps the rest of his earthen shelter intact*
Rairii: ... Umm... I...
Kuro: ...you want to know why I hate the Fire Nation so much...?
Rairii: ... It'd help.
Kuro: ... I was a part of a nomadic tribe... my father was a hunter and my mother was a crafter...
Kuro: One day when father was monitoring my first solo hunt, I had just turned 10... the Fire Nation attacked the villages around Bai Seng Sai, including ours...
Kuro: In order to draw soldiers out from the fortress, they tried to outrage them by doing horrible things to our people...
Kuro: My father ordered me to stay hidden while he went to help the village defend itself, but they were far outmatched and outnumbered...
Kuro: I saw my father impaled and burned, then my mother soon joined him among the corpses...
Kuro: I narrowly escaped them when they spotted me... and after a day I returned... to find that my camp had...
Kuro: ....my mother... father... and all the adults in the village had been impaled on Fire Nation spears in a circle around the camp...
Kuro: ....and the children... had all been skewered on a single spear, that of Commander Hinoshi... in the center of it all...
Kuro: *bows his head, shaking and clenching his fists, trying to conceal a few tears*
Rairii: *looks away* I... didn't know. Still, your nation hasn't been much kinder to my own. They killed my brother.
Kuro: How was he killed? Was he impaled? Skewered? Mocked as he died a painful death then hung up in disgrace for the rest of his nation to see?
Rairii: ... Not exactly... >>
Kuro: tell me... *looks up, his voice quivering and his eyes still holding a fierce glare despite his tears* what is your purpose in life...?
Rairii: ...*hesitation*... To earn my father's approval.
Kuro: ...and how do you plan to achieve that...?
Rairii: Honestly?... I haven't a clue. I never got that far in my plan.
Kuro: Heh... do you know what it feels like then... to be robbed of your purpose...? *looks down, clenching one hand in front of him*
Rairii: *averts her gaze* It's hard to be robbed of your purpose when you never had one to be robbed of in the first place. The purpose I thought I had is hardly one I can ever think of fulfilling.
Kuro: *laughs softly, but is a laugh filled with malice* A purpose is a purpose... but to have your only purpose stolen... it is like dying... *said this last part with a hiss*
Rairii: -_- Ever thought you're just being hard on yourself?
Kuro: Tell me... if I killed your father right now... how would you feel...?
Rairii: Erm... I never really was very close to my father... But still, he is my father and... I suppose it'd feel like a part of me were missing.
Kuro: ...right...
Kuro: ...and what do you think would happen... if I just destroyed everything you ever knew, everything around you...
Kuro: ...robbed you of everything...
Rairii: ... Simply lose the will to live...
Kuro: ...*grins faintly*... now do you understand? The depth of the pain that filled me after that day...? The reason I hate to such an extent...?
Kuro: To destroy the Fire Nation... that is now my purpose... my reason to live... the only thing that keeps me going...
Rairii: Still, you can't base everyone you meet off of what happened that one day. I never chose to be a firebender, or to be raised the way a was, with the beliefs of my people. I was never taught any better. I would be a total other person if born in your nation.
Kuro: ...if a malicious person lights a fire in a forest... is it the fire's fault it burns, spreads and destroys all? And is the one who puts that flame out... truly such a bad person...?
Rairii: It's not the fire's fault. It's only it's nature, but it can be influenced by those around it.
Kuro: ...so are you suggesting the people of the forest should allow the fire to spread? Sacrificing themselves for it? Or that they should sacrifice parts of the fire to contain it when they could simply put it out entirely.
Kuro: Further...should they hesitate to kill the one responsible for the flame, when he could strike again?
Kuro: The only way to end it all and be sure of it is to destroy the source and it's creations...
Rairii: ... Are you saying you'd kill perfectly innocent people because of something they have no control, an environment they were raised in?
Kuro: ...do you see any other way to end it? One must die... the flame or the forest...
Rairii: *shakes head* I can't believe it. You'd end innocent lives because of something they can't control.
Kuro: There is no other way! I won't sacrifice MY people so that those of the Fire may live!
Rairii: Kuro, you're forgetting one thing. Earth and fire go hand-in-hand. The fire of the sun allows earth to thrive, but they keep each other in check. Stone walls in fire, but fires keep underbrush from getting out of control, which will cause big fires to happen. Don't you see? Wiping out fire will unbalance EVERYTHING.
Kuro: .....
Rairii: See? Speechless.
Kuro: *clasps his head with both hands, masking his face with his arms and curling up against the ground in a hunched over position* .....
(Right about there he goes into mental shock because his purpose was just beaten for all it's worth 0.0)
Rairii: ...*sigh* I'm sorry. It's just... people like you who can't accept others for who they just are irk me.
Kuro: .....don't apologize..... you're..... right..... gods you're right!!! *blasts the shelter apart, pretty much shredding the tent along with it before taking off into the forest*
Meshy: O.O
Rairii: *jumps back* Kuro!.. Oh, I give up. Your turn to talk sense into him, Mesh.
Meshy: *been asleep* Hm?
Rairii: *whacks Mesh* Oh forget you.

Act Two, Scene Two
Kuro: *off in the forest, bashing his hands into a boulder repeatedly*
Meshy: It's not my fault Banshee's been up screeching all last night..
Rairii: ...Whatever. Just know your friend Kuro is off a forest somewhere probably trying to kill himself or something like that...
Meshy: 0.0 Crud. *climbs on Banshee* *runs off into forest*
Rairii: >>... Tootles. ^^;
Kuro: *is pretty much just abusing his fists, pounding them into the boulder until they bleed, the pain of his fists dulling that of his guilt*
Meshy: o.o...Kuro...what exactly are you trying to do?
Xia: *snores*
Kuro: ...how... *punch* ...could... *punch* ...I... *punch* ...be... *punch* ...so... *punch* ...stupid!!! *POW-crack... his left hand now broken*
Meshy: KURO! *grabs both arms*
Kuro: ..*struggles, but doesn't really give much effort*... she's right... about everything... I'm worse than the Fire Nation... I was going to destroy everything in my blind rage...
Kuro: ...I don't deserve to wield this power... *loosens his fists*
Meshy: Everyone deserves the power to bend. How we wield it is another story.
Kuro: ...but I've killed so many... for a purpose that was meaningless...
Meshy: Not meaningless. We need to end the war.
Kuro: ...how can I go on now... knowing I'm worse than them...?
Kuro: That was the only way I could kill them. By believing they were scum worse than me... it was the only way I could stand it all...
Meshy: By the fact that you need to fight for a more proper purpose now.

[rairii]

Act Two, Scene Three
***after talking with Mesh/promising not to hurt himself anymore/etc...***
Kuro: *exits the forest, heading back to the camp to search for some medical supplies*
Xia: *eyes Kuro but still thinks he has been selfish*
Rairii: ... Kuro...
Kuro: *silently wraps his hands in bandages before walking over to them slowly, coming to a halt and falling to is knees in front of Rairii* ...I'm sorry for everything... all that I've done and said..
Kuro: ...please forgive me...
Xia: So when's the wedding?
Rairii: Kuro, there's nothing to forgive. What you did was understandable for someone going through what you did. I just hope you can forgive me... For saying what I did.
Kuro: ...*nods slowly, rising to his feet then taking the same position by Xia, totally ignoring her previous comment* ...and you... I'm sorry for all I did to you and your son, to have put you through all of that... I beg your forgiveness as well...
Xia: ...........
Xia: *with out hesitation* I forgive you. But...
Xia: I want you to hold Tarak, talk to him, kiss him... and tell him that you're sorry. It's him you should apologize to. He is the future...
Kuro: ...*nods slowly, rising to his feet and holding his hands out for Tarak*
Xia: *carefully hands her pride and joy over to Kuro*
Tarak: *takes in the new person, then breaks into a wide grin*
Tarak: Hee! *drools*
Kuro: *smiles weakly* ...I'm sorry little one... I almost put you through what I suffered myself, and no child should have to experience that... *rocks him gently and oddly enough begins to sing a soft tune in a language they don't recognize, it was a song his mother used to lull him to sleep*
Tarak: *smiles and graces Kuro with his drool, then falls asleep*
Rairii: *tilts head in question*
Kuro: *gives Tarak a light kiss on the forehead before returning him to his mother*
Xia: *smiles and takes her baby back* There. Don't you feel so much better after holding him?
Xia: All pain flees when you look into a child's eyes.
Kuro: ..yes.. I feel much... better than I have in quite some time..
Xia: *bittersweet smile* I am the same when I look at him...
Xia: *stands on tip toes and kisses Kuro's cheek* I'm glad... that you're okay now.
Kuro: *nods thankfully then steps back a few paces* ...I need to rest now... today has left me very tired... *stumbles back towards the camp to clear the mess of rocks out and find his bed*
Rairii: ... Bye, Kuro.
Kuro: ...See yah... *digs out his bed and plops down on it to sleep*
End Act 2

Coming up tomorrow, Act 4! ^^

[atalanta]

Yep, got to love Kurii!

*cracks up*

I'm proud to say I started this...

I'm proud to say I co-started this!

[rairii]

Act Three Overview
Despite everything in act 2, Rai and Kuro are back to where they started... Bickering and stabbing.

Act Four, Scene One
Kuro: *stomps up to Rai* Listen, you had better stop stabbing and burning me every time I leave or else!
Rairii: Kuro, try to understand. If you had ever been less ignorant enough to get a girlfriend, you'd know how I feel about your treatment of me and my nation!
Kuro: ...what does that have to do with assaulting me whenever I try to be alone? <<
Rairii: ... Because... I.... I... Uh...
Kuro: Well? Out with it woman!
Rairii: I... don't think you should know!
Kuro: Why not?
Rairii: ... Because I just... I...
Kuro: *just standing there staring at Rai* ...yes?
Rairii: Because... I'm not entirely sure if I completely hate all of you overall... and you'd have never noticed me otherwise. >>
Kaze: *goes over to Rai and Kuro* Stop being purposely ignorant Kurosai! It's apparent that she likes you but is too scared to admit it because of your dislike of Fire Nation people!
Kuro: oO;
Rairii: 0.0 *whacks Kaze*
Kaze: Now, stop hiding in that shell you call a personality and start being nice to Rai and the others!
Rairii: *runs off*
Kuro: ...damn I hate this... --; *kicks Kaze lightly before chasing after Rairii*
Kuro: *uses earthbending to control the dirt in his clothes, flying past, over and then dropping down in front of Rairii* Wait!
Rairii: -_- What do you want?
Kuro: ....I....uh.... << ... well... >>
Rairii: Spit it out. I don't' have all day.
Kuro: I might not totally hate you either...
Rairii: ... Really?
Kuro: *looks away* Yeah.. you're not such a bad person... for someone from the Fire Nation... when you're not stabbing or burning me....
Rairii: ... You're not so much of a rock-brain yourself.
Kuro: ...okay well, that's all I wanted to say... *awkwardly turns to leave*
Rairii: *puts a hand on Kuro's shoulder* Wait up a second.
Kuro: *stops* hn..?
Rairii: *reaches up and kisses Kuro lightly on the cheek*

So? How's Kuro going to take it? Tune in next time for Act Four, Scene Two!

0.0 And now the uber short scene 2.. No fan art worth scanning at this point.

Act Four, Scene Two
Kuro: *turns crimson* !?
Rairii: ^^; Sorry.
Kuro: wh...why...you... *still blushing furiously and cant speak properly*
Rairii: You really do have a lot to learn about girls, don't you? Well, tip number one. We don't generally think before acting, ending up doing something we didn't mean to... but still meant to... >>
Kuro: *tilts head* ._. huh?
Rairii: Oh, forget it. *looks away, blushing*
Kuro: *does the same* ...you know... this means the others will bug us even more...
Rei: -has been listening to the two- yep, they probably will.
Rairii: Do you really care what they think? It's a lot worse when neither knew the other kinda... liked them, but now we do and...
Kuro: *glances at Rei* ...then again, if the only witness is dead...
Rairii: *looks at Rei as well* That might work...
Kuro: *smirks slightly* You want to do it or should I?
Rairii: ... Group effort.
Rei: -grimaces- I won't tell anybody
Kuro: Alright... you'd better not, or you'll wake up scorched and 100 meters underground.
Rairii: ... Would you swear it on your honor?
Rei: -sighs- ........yeah, I'll swear on my honor....cause i know what it is like to have a love secret.
Kuro: It's not a love secret!! We just...we....oh shut up and leave! ><
Rairii: *mutters* Men.
Rei: -smirks-
Rairii: *unsheathes a dagger*
Kuro: *backs away from the dagger*
Rairii: Kuro, will you never learn? *stomps off*
Kuro: ..*facefaults*.. learn what!? *chases after*
Rei: -laughs- don't worry i get the same stuff from my....never mind

[rairii]

And here's the rest of act four because you were gonna hear it all from my grande boca sooner or later.

Act Four, Scene Three
Rairii: *spins around and deathglares* Do you know a thing about me? Enough to know when I'm annoyed with you or the guy over there? *gestures towards Rei*
Kuro: Er... sorry, it was instinct... you know, from the 112 previous stabs... >>;
Rairii: *frown* I suppose I can't hold that against you...
Kuro: *smiles weakly for a moment* I'm not good at this okay.. I don't normally have to deal with... women... or... people in general other than Kaze or on the battlefield...
Rairii: *tilts head* You really are new at this... Suppose I can't put too muc pressure on you.
Kuro: *scratches back of head awkwardly* I never had to get friendly with anyone before.. all I needed to know was how to survive.. then how to kill...
Rairii: ... I think we had the talk about killing last night.
Kuro: Yes, but that doesn't erase my years of training and fighting...
Rairii: And do you think that one day of knowing you can erase the hate of the Earth Kingdom I was raised to?
Kuro: I'm not saying that you were better off but... I don't think you have as much valid reason to hate the Earth Kingdom, so it should be easier to grasp than for me... you seemed pretty suprised when I told you the horrors that the Fire Nation inflicted on us... but I may be wrong...
Rairii: Growing up in the fire nation... a child doesn't learn so much whatwe do to others, just what they do to us. Rebellions, attempts on the firelords life, and all other horrors. The only way we could ever learn these things would be to travel elsewhere... Which most are afraid to do.
Kuro: I see... I didn't know, I thought everyone in the Fire Nation knew of their atrocities and was proud of them...
Rairii: Bits and pieces, little by little, but mostly we're kept from knowing the truth. It's... hard to explain, but even if one learns of the horrors... It's hard to change sides after thinking what you've been told for so long.
Kuro: *sighs and raises up then slumps down against a boulder* ..the Fire Lord is sick and twisted... brainwashing his own people like that...
Rairii: *slides down next to Kuro* Not brainwashing. Mis-informing, leaving out the parts that need not be said. It's... complicated.
Kuro: ...so how do I do this now...? Mesheiko said I should fight to protect instead of avenge but... I don't see a way to win without killing...
Rairii: Kuro... Killing isn't the only way to win. Fighting your hardest and forcing them into retreat or surrender, making them fight until they give in, but none of it takes much killing.
Kuro: *winces* How can I go easy on them knowing they wouldn't hessitate to kill any of us? It just increases my own chance of death...
Rairii: You'll find a way. I heard things back in the village, things about the mighty earth kingdom and the numerous times they're defeated the fire navy. You can do anything you put your mind to.
Kuro: ...thanks...
Rairii: .. I'd love to say you're welcome but that might not be the response you're looking for.
Kuro: *sighs and shrugs* I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'll keep looking 'till I find it...
Rairii: And I wish you luck on that.
Kuro: ..thanks, I wish you luck on your goal as well..
Rairii: Pfft, yeah. My goal, as if it'll ever come true.
Kuro: Well, what does your father want from you or dislike about you most?
Rairii: He just... doesn't care for me much. Is a typical father thing. You see, my family owns a rather successful inn and my brother was the one meant to carry it on. He died when I was 9 and... all my parents had left was me. A girl. With no hopes of becoming a very good bender either.
Kuro: Why would they care about bending skill if they owned an inn?
Rairii: ... Not my point.
Kuro: *sweatdrop* Sorry... uh well... what qualities did your brother have that you lack besides gender?
Rairii: I don't know... He was just... him. Perfect in every way.
Kuro: If he was perfect he wouldn't have died...
Rairii: Okay, not perfect, but you get my point. He was flawed enough to be killed, trying to protect everyone else. Sacrafice is the true meaning of victory. *looks away*
Kuro: ...I have to disagree with that... if a sacrfice is required, it's never a victory
Rairii: *mutters* Typical man. Victory is whatever one is willing to give for it.
Kuro: ...no I mean... Kaze once told me that it doesn't matter how many enemies you kill on the battlefield... if you lose a comrade or your own life, it's still a loss...
Kuro: Which is why my first priority is protecting my comrades... then killing my enemies...
Rairii: Kuro, you're making no sense. Your strategy is to wipe-out the fire navy, right? That's a loss to my people. A lost comrade to someone.
Kuro: I only thought of my people at the time Rai... I didn't care what happened to the enemy's side.
Kuro: I realize my mistakes now...
Rairii: Error is human and there is no room for hesitation in battle, I understand what us required. Do the first thing that is instinct but... Just saying.
Kuro: It's also human to learn.. I won't make the same mistake twice... I'll figure out some way to win without causing a loss on either side...
Rairii: It's all I ask. All the world asks. Everyone has lost a family member or friend to this war, none have been spared. We need less killing and more effort.
Kuro: *nods slowly* ...I'm... glad I met you, you've opened my eyes...
Rairii: *eyes tear up* And you've really led me to accept people for who they are, not where they come from. *embraces Kuro tightly*

Act Four, Scene Four
Kuro: *tenses up at first but soon relaxes and returns the embrace*
Rairii: Kuro...
Kuro: Yeah?
Rairii: ... I'm sorry.
Kuro: ...*blinks*... for what? We already apologized to each other for stuff... if you mean the stabs I already got over that...
Rairii: I know, but... I hated you from the start without even knowing you, and continued seeming to hate you even after I began to like you and now... I can shake this feeling...
Kuro: There's nothing to apologize for... we both made that mistake...
Rairii: Maybe we are perfect for each other... If you believe in soul mates, that is.
Kuro: ...maybe... *looks away and releases the embrace, curling up* ...sorry... I'm just... never been this close to someone, it's a bit... scary...
Rairii: *turns around and looks ino the distance* I'm pushing you too hard. You've been in the military so long... Killing my people to protect yours.
Kuro: *closes eyes then stands* ...I need some time alone... I need to reflect on some things, thanks for everything Rai... *heads off*
Rairii: ... Bye, Kuro.

[kurosai]

Just to clear up some confusion for Kurii fans, Kurosai is leaving for a long time. After this scene happens in the rpg, he'll be off training on his own for a month or several months depending on circumstances. During this time, he'll undergo a big personality change where his temper will diminish greatly and he'll become a much calmer, understanding person. His fighting style will also change drastically, where he now focuses on disabling and terrifying his opponents without needing to severely injure or kill them. And all this for Rai! Awww... XD

Kuro: HEY! It's not just for Rai! I'm.. I'm doing it for me too, and the world... and stuff... *mutters and wanders off, blushiing*
