Prepare yourself (James Kouki P)

James ducks below the elbow, cartwheeling towards the way the guy came from. He avoids the one thousand years of death the guy tried to use against him. He laughs, until he heard the last thing the guy said.
"What do you mean, 'you two, are just so'?" James said, looking at his opponent. "Who am I alike?"
James stands back, keeping a distance of 5 meters from the guy. This guy was slow, but James didn't want to fall into a trap if this guy was messing with him and trying to trick him, by using false information, but by the look and actions of somebody really sad about something.

   " It....it was a friend, he was dead long ago. You two are just so, so similar, you remind me so much of him. It makes me sad." Kouki said, regaining his balance and strength after he missed both of his attacks, “The same short black hair, the same blue eyes, the same clothes preference. I really don’t want to think back to him now, but you just make me have to do it. Let’s get back to fighting, I don’t want to talk about it, This is the last attack i can do.”
   Kouki used the last ninjutsu he knows, Clone technique. Ram, Snake, Tiger. 2 clones pop out. “Good.” He thought. He stayed in the same action as his clones, preparing to dodge and strike when he attacks.


Clone Technique: AC: 5 45/60 left

James smiles as the guy does his last jutsu. He smiles, and with grabbed three kunai out, throwing one kunai, handle first, so that if they struck the guy it wouldn' harm him, just give him a nice impact from the handle. 
He gets serious and says, "Please tell me, what was your friend like? how do I remind you of him?"
He looks at the guy, curious as to why the guy was talking about his friend in past tense. 
"Wonder if this guy is dead. I wonder how I remind him of this guy," James thinks to himself.
James stays in the same place he had been, waiting for the guy to explain himself.

James nods his head. To him, it was interesting to hear of somebody similar to how he was and how he acted. James looks at Kouki and says, "My names is James. James Sharlax. I am known as the Moonstalker as well."
He then walks over closer to Kouki, and sticks out his hand, and says, "Nice to meet you, Kouki,"
He then says, "Please, tell me more of your friend. I wish to hear more about him."

"Alright, James Moonstalker, but before i begin, I need to tell you something. Due to the clan and kekkei genkai my friend have, I am unable to tell you his name, we will name him x for the time being." Kouki just had to get that out of the way before he mixes with with the he and he and he, " so that day, if it isn’t a similar tree, it might this exact tree right here, x was just chilling here, lying on the trunk of the tree, he was a genin, just like you at that time, to my view, he looks very tough but his face, his expression, he seem very nice. It turned out that it is true, he is very nice to me, our ‘nice to meet you’ is very similar to how i met you, here,  but instead of you being so tired, x was just chilling there, being calm. I then walked up to him, just like how I did with you, but I didn’t know how to do one thousand years of death at that time, and that was way before i joined the academy, it was like probably 8 years ago. So then I just walked up to x, I was still very very shy at that time, so I said a quiet hi to him, he said hi to me, then we introduced ourselves, a classical get-to-know-you thing. Just like what happened between me and you, he picked a fight with me to see my strength, I knew none of the jutsu or attacks I know today. I was so weak back then, i couldn’t even throw a punch without losing balance, or if I even know how to punch at that time. Just like you, he threw a kunai at me, handle first, knocked me over and I fell to the ground. So then he taught me how to punch properly. He actually taught me a lot, how to survive in a ninja world, how to not be so shy, and etcetera. Now I should talk about your similarities, you two both have the black hair, although your hair already have white tips, x was talking to me about getting white tips on his hair before he died horribly. You two have the same blue eyes, same face, x is just slightly taller than you at about 5’12 or 13’. He wears all black as a preference, saying that that is the way a ninja should look. You two both have tattoos on your arms, although I am pretty sure they are different, they are still all tattoos.”
“We were friends for a few months, although it is only a few months, It seemed like a lifetime to us. but that day, BUT THAT DAY,” Kouki shouted, tears starts to flow down his face, only a little he just wiped it off his face, “Just that day ruined it all. Me and x was playing just outside the village, about a few hundred meters from the village, the village gate still seem huge from where we were. It was in winter, we were so involved in playing with the snow, and we thought that we were safe. WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE SAFE! But we weren’t, we are involved talking and playing with snow, he was caught off guard, he was assassinated by a ninja, or I should say an assassin, If we were in the village, or even if he wasn’t caught off guard, BY ME, he wouldn’t have died that day.”
Kouki crouched down and starting cuddling. he buried his face in his knee, he is crying and crying. “Was it my fault, was it my fault? I think it is, I THINK IT IS! Now I met you, you are like the second him, I don’t want to lose someone just like x ever again! I don’t want you to do too!” He keeps crying and crying, James is just there, He is crying for minutes, for hours, he want to stop, he is not a cry boy anymore, but he can’t, x was assassinated right in front of his eyes, Kouki is sure that it is because of the kekkei genkai that x possessed. His eyes feel hot, his eyes feel a lot hotter than usual crying, it feels likes that his eyes are bleeding. It was close to midnight when he started to calm down, and started to be able to control and stop his crying.
“I am sorry, I can’t stop it when I think about it.” Kouki start to fully calm down, then he raises his head to look at james, what he sees is…….

(you ever cliff hanger me again, and I will kill you)

As Kouki got into his whole life story, James settled down, and relaxed. He closed his eyes, allowing Kouki's voice to wash over. Allowing the story to take hold into his mind. Kouki told of his friend, nothing specific, just a general idea of the guy. He had no face, no personality, nothing really to make him stand out in James's head. 
"It almost feels as if Kouki is making it up as he goes along. But the emotion in his voice makes it sound believable. So either he's telling the truth or a very good actor."
He listens to Kouki finish up and cries. He keeps his eyes close, giving Kouki his space. Whenever Kouki calms down, and he finishes what he says, James replies with his eyes closed, "It's okay, don't worry. It wasn't your fault. You weren't strong enough to protect yourself or your friend. Thus, he probably gave his life for you to escape, so that you can live. Honor his memory, grow strong enough never to allow any friends to die with you by their side."

James opens his eyes, as Kouki starts to freak out. He looks down at himself, seeing nothing of what Kouki was saying. He then glances at Kouki's face, and grins.
"So, you're unique like me. 'Cept you have red eyes, and something floating around your pupil. What are you?" James asks Kouki. He grins and says, "You must of unlocked your bloodline dude. Although sad, wicked nonetheless."
