Kodai & Kodai

"... My name is Kodai"

The words pours out from his lips. He was growing tired of the chores Kaseki made him do. These legal mages seemed confused at his name. "The name of a hero!" The lady said to him. "Goddammit, I'm a murderer. I eat people." Kodai raised his tone. The lady chuckled back at him as a joke. Kodai had been trying to buy a bowl of ramen for over half an hour now, trying to explain himself. "I am Kodai, the Coming Storm. The Sinner of Fiore. Cold Blooded killer... I've lived for over 2 million years..." He pleaded. He just wanted the woman to listen.

"You're so funny!" she said as he handed him the steaming bowl. Kodai took the bowl and walked over to a table. He sat disappointed. It was his worst experience in a ramen shop. No one feared him, the whole place seemed to accept him.

He was a mage of the darkest group in Fiore. And all he was to the cashier was a joke. Kodai sighed as he looked at his bowl. "Goddammit..." he muttered, "I forgot the spoon..."

Kodai walks into the ramen shop quietly. He walks up to the counter and greets the lady at the counter. "Good afternoon." She looks up in confusion. "Kodai? I thought you were over there?" He looks to where she's pointing. "He said his name was Kodai, too." "I'll handle this." He said as he walked over to the man.

Kodai got up from his seat. "Every damn time." he thought to himself. He had been craving control over Kaseki's body for days, and he wasn't even feared anymore. As he made his way to the counter he saw an odd man approaching him. Kodai smiled as he saw his chance. He would show himself. "Why hello there, Mortal. It is I, Kodai, the Coming Storm of Savage Skull. The killer of Legal mages."

"Yes," he thought, "He will fear me."

Kodai's face fell expressionless. His whole complexion turned to stone. This man... No... It couldn't.

"Did you just say your name was Kodai?"

This man could have been one of his past lives, or perhaps... another realm. Who was he? And why did he have such a magnificent name?

"Indeed I did. Is that a problem, name thief?" He said, face expressionless, although his hands kept twitching towards the twin hunting knives on his hips.

"Name thief?" Kodai echoed, "But alas, I am over a millennium old." He said with a question. There was something about him that peeked his curiosity. Then he saw his hands. A small thing in the many. "Why, I'd like to see you try to spill my blood, I'll lick it from my wounds just as anyone else. But perhaps a feast of these people here would be better. Heheh"

Kodai kept an eye on the woman in the corner. She was something Kyle Vay of Savage Skull would take a liking to.

Kodai saw the other man's eyes flicking to the woman in the corner. "A millineum old or not, if you touch that woman, I will kill you."

Kodai felt an inexpiable happiness in his being. This young mage threatened his life? "Now let's play nice, Kodai. I'd hate to get blood on my cloak. It's such a hassle to clean." He looked over to the kid at the table next to him. He growled and he kid threw his spoon at his head. Kodai caught the spoon and tossed it into his bowl. "Let us converse... twin."

"You are not my twin. To me, you are a stain that needs cleansing, a pest that needs eradicating." He said in a low growl.

"Oh?" Those words, those pure and kind words. Why Kodai never felt such a friendship. This man wanted to kill? Why so did Kodai! Kodai loved to "cleanse the world" he loved it. And this Kodai also was like Kodai? Well damn. "Well, I dare you to try it."

"Oh no..." Kaseki's voice reflected in the mind of the body. "Can we not fight in the ramen shop?" He was just a unheard thought in Kodai's mind... his Kodai. The evil one.

Whichever one this was.
