Nakata shook his head and walked over to his bag on the pier. First and foremost, Alistair was going to need some clothes. He unrolled the folded cloth and pulled out a black "Breaking Benjamin" T-shirt and some black tripp pants. Also in the cloth were various weapons that he had obtained over various periods of time. Unsure as to what all Alistair was familiar with, and knowing that he had just lost his sword, Naka opened his weapon selection up for his friend to see.
"Here, change clothes and pick a weapon and we'll go get something to eat at Sonic." He said.

After handing Alistair the cloths, Naka pointed to the fully unrolled cloth which, with it's contents revealed, was obviously very heavy. Displayed before Alistair was: Three different long swords, one from germany, one from Italy, and one from England; There were two sets of dual rapiers, one set from france, one set from spain; Dual kama style Kusari gama, shuriken; kunai knives; three katanas; Two nunchuku; a three sectioned staff; a bear claw; a ninjatou; four kukri; two scimitar; three falchions; four katars; a blow dart gun and accompanying darts; and a mace. The weapon choice was comprised of mostly light weapons and some medium weapons but he honestly had no idea which Alistair would prefer.

He accepted the clothes from Nakata happily and, after rinsing himself off in the ocean water quickly he changed into them, right there on the pier without any concern for possible "decency" issues. "Thank you, Master Nakata. Your generosity is much appreciated." He said with sincerity. Although, his new clothing made him look slightly out of place, considering his usual clothing was very simple t-shirt and jeans combinations with solid colors. Or maybe this getup made him look less out of place..


When Nakata revealed the weapon supply he carried, Alistair's eyes widened in surprise and he immediately bent down to review the selection. "May I ask where it is you found such nice equipment? I do not believe it is often that a young man such as yourself carries around a stash of medieval weapons." Regardless, his hand rested on the Longsword from England. "This should be sufficient. I give you my word I shall return this weapon to you, Master Nakata."

Naka shrugged at Alistair's question.
"you don't have to thank me it's the least I can do. As for my weapons I've collected them while I traveled and taken them off of people that I defeated, some were given to me by my sensei while I was in Japan this past year but you're welcome to keep that one, the guy gave me a lot of trouble anyway." He answered and explained. The fact was that Naka had gained a lot of combat experience while he had been away and had even been forced to kill in a few instances besides the event on the island with one of the scroll wielders. The weapon Alistair had taken belonged to an englishman who had been part of the underground where he'd been shown the brutality of like as the head of a Yakuza family. As a result the englishman had died and Naka had taken his sword, the memory in and of itself was far from enjoyable and it was probably better than his friend used and purified the weapon.

"Very well, Master Nakata. I shall treasure this gift from you for the rest of eternity." Hundreds of years later, when Corona was on another world similar to this one, he would explain to a young child how he had received that sword. The young man reminded him of Nakata, and he would eventually pass on the sword to that young man, who grew up to become king of that entire country. The sword became legendary among its people, and it was foretold that it had been forged in the Heavens and given to the king as a blessing from God. Such was The Way of The World.

((Uh.. Hopefully I remember I wrote that later and don't go losing the sword or something >.>))

It was then he suddenly looked very tired, and he rubbed his head as if he had a migraine. It only lasted a few moments, and he looked perfectly fine after that. In fact, he acted as if it hadn't even happened. This was in spite of the fact that, deep down, he was concerned about his recent bouts of exhaustion.

He began to fear his body was losing the capability to handle the stress his soul forced upon it.

Not noticing the fatigue Alistair was suffering from, Naka rolled his knapsack back up and slung it over his shoulder with his katana in its cloth over the other shoulder as he turned toward the city. Truthfully he was extremely hungry and it would be important to get something to eat soon.
"Are you ready to go, we could probably shave some time off if we took a shortcut through the forest to the metro station." He suggested as he took a step forward.

((I'll remind you, also sorry for the short post XD))

"Very well, a stroll through the forest will be most relaxing, I believe." Except the last time he tried that a diseased bear ambushed him. He followed Nakata's pace, putting his arms back behind his head in a relaxing manner. "So then, what exactly has kept you occupied for the past many months? Your voice has changed, your clothing is modified, and your abilities seem to have altered. Surely you have gone through some sort of training, yes?" He, on the other hand, hadn't changed a bit.

Naka nodded and started walking in the direction of the forest, hoping to cut down on their journey.
"Well there's the matter of gathering the scrolls of the Amatsu Kami that gave me the power to fight against my uncle and claim control of my father's yakuza family. Subsequently I died, when I came back this is how I was. I have access to the spells that the Kami used to create the earth as well as the power of the destruction of Izanami but since I chose to come back here I can only access a fraction of that power and even that is limited by ritual, rite, and incantation." He explained, leaving the part out about becoming the husband of the goddess of the sun and the domains he was to inherit as a kami of nature, a god that controlled the balance of the world. That was a little too grandiose anyway, and he wasn't sure still how somehow all of the religions of the world could hold some sort of sway of truth despite the fact that each one said that its gods created the world. He hadn't gotten to spend enough time reading the Amatsu Kami scrolls and at this point he wasn't going to stress the issue as he doubted that anyone except the respective gods of those religions themselves knew the truth.
"Essentially I'm like you as far as being here in a human body, though I seem to be less limited than you in terms of durability." He added.

"Interesting. So what is it you plan to do now? Not many mortals choose to return to the mortal realms once they have passed on. Have you received some sort of extraplanar mission, perhaps?" He began to wonder if this young man could be of assistance to him when it came to.. well, he didn't know what the end of this place would come to. But this island they were on had something strange about it, and he was rather motivated to find out what it was. He hadn't been able to contact the Heavens since his arrival, and thus he had no idea that his allies had already beat him to finding the object he was looking for.

And it would be in the absolute last place anyone would ever think it would be.

Naka shook his head.
"I was granted this life because of the kindness of the Amatsu Kami and because i was so young in life. It was said to me that I should gain worldly experience before joining their ranks so that's what I decided that I would do. I've been given a lot of leeway here but I'm still rather limited on what I can and can't do." He said. The truth was that he didn't know what he was limited to do and not to do, it didn't really matter exactly what they were going to run into but he knew that in an industrial era with many people all over the world of different faiths and cults, he wasn't entirely sure if they were included in those he was supposed to save but the scrolls had said to protect life so that was the majority of what he did here.

From the sounds of it, it was indeed an otherworldly being that had brought him back to life. But considering how he was now, he had his doubts it was any of his allies. Perhaps his allies, however, were not the only ones afraid of this world falling into darkness. It wouldn't be the first world whose inhabitants, mortal or otherwise, prepared themselves for an inevitable invasion.

He recognized the part of the forest they were in, and he knew it wouldn't be long before they reached the break in the tree line. A few odd noises were heard off to the guys' left, and upon a glance it was clear that a couple of teenagers, one male and one female, had decided to make that particular spot their own private area for making out and... well, whatever else teenagers in love did together.

"Hey! Mind your own business!" The young man shouted out, causing Alistair to jump back in surprise.
