Second Story Bookstore

"Of course he has something than mere books," Rei scoffed. "I have something other than books, believe it or not."

Fang sat patiently out the window, new machine gun and his torso hanging out and keeping an eye on the streets. While his legs were inside, keeping him in the building. Here homunculus...

Tosh walks in the bookstore, sighing and walks towards the counter, taking out a black steel box. She opened in, taking money from her pockets and putting it with the rest inside the box.

He is getting frustrated "Please just comply, and ask him" He thinks for a moment before stating "If you knew you might not like it being here"

Tosh's eyes widens at Kinai.

He notices tosh but doesnt say anything before asking again "Like i said I mean no disrespect but just see what it is he tries to keep hid"

Tosh quietly goes upstairs before calling to Rei, "I'm gonna grab something to eat!" she said rushing upstairs but doesnt go to the kitchen.

Before Tosh pushed by kinai he lightly grabbed her arm "Please, listen to me. I mean you no harm"

Fang put on an agonized face. "Hey. Mister tall, dark, and annoying. If you want information on the philosopher's stone, here's a tip. Go to lior and find out where exactly all the homunculi are coming from."
Fang had a feeling he knew which one he would have to kill. Slyde. "Just remember, the homunculus by the name of Slyde, is my target and mine alone. You can have the rest."

Tosh stopped in her tracks, but listens to what he had to say.

Kotaro walks into the entrance of the store, giving a slight wave to Fang as he passes. After he enters, he notices an all to familiar man. “Kinai!” Kotaro reaches into his pocket.

"Come sit down please" He says as he walks down the stairs and sits in one of the chairs and he notices kotaro "Yes?"

Tosh walks to the stairs and sits down on one of the chairs. "She glances at Kotaro and Fang before looking at Kinai. "You won't attack me... right?"

Kotaro took his hand out of his pocket, but kept the item hidden in a fist. “You want one Kinai?” Kotaro knew what he was talking about. He held out his hand and opened it, revealing 2 crimson stones. “Take one.” He turns to Fang. “You take one too Fang. Forget the homunculi. Its my burden to kill it.”

He takes the stone "Where did you get it?" He states waryabout it being a fake or not

Tosh's eyes widens at Kotraro, but doesn't say a word about it. She got up and jogs over behind Kotaro.

Fang nodded in thanks, and carefully took the stone. Heheh...this is what I'm after...I'm almost free of the Red Wing's curse...
He placed it in the bottom of his bag in a little vial, showing extreme care not to let it seep through.

Tosh glances at Fang, remembering yesterday and looks down, dismayed.

Kinai sits there still stunned about the fragment waiting for kotaro to answer his question

Kotaro considered telling them how he obtained the stones. “I had a friend named Motaro. He did some things in his life that shouldnt be mentioned. He created multiple homunculi, then destroyed a number of them for the stones.” he paused to make sure everyone was on track. “After he created the last 3, he realized the danger he had brought. He ran, seeking me. He told me something before he...left. He created a homunculas of someone I cared for. I have more then just these. Just take this one and go!” Kotaro sat on the couch, a deep look of anger plastered on his face.

Tosh walks out quickly, going to her house.

[I gotta go for a while. Need to go move into my new house. Laterz]

Kinai was suprised at kotaro raising his voice and he seen the anger in his face "..." His temper started to rise thinking he was mad at him for a moment

Kotaro's anger subsided. He hadnt told anyone about Motaro, save Tosh, who had met him. Kotaro looked up at the swordsman. His face showed signs of anger. Kotaro sighed. “I'm sorry if I offended you Kinan. My past is a subject I dont enjoy talking about. I have no family. They were killed by the military.”

He looks away "Then me and you are two and the same"
(meaning they are alike)

Kotaro looked at Kinan. All this time, and he never asked about him. Why he had such a grudge over th military. Kotaro shook his head. He felt as bad as he did when he killed Slyde. “Kinan, listen. I want to help you, but I wont join the resistance. My parents killed eachother because they were on seperate sides, so I dont know your pain. I want the government to fall, but I belive no matter whos in charge, there will always be corruption and chaos.”
