A sleeping bag, a small camp fire, a tarp and a pack was all that filled the clearing. Wondering the world was rough but he found it suited him more then the safe life of the city, the need to hunt and fight on the occasional threat kept his blade sharp. Stepping away form his camp he started his daily practice of going over his kata and daily stretches, the automatic steps bring him comfort as he slowly pushed himself faster. His pace was always the same as he started his kata slowly before going faster and faster until he became nothing more then a blur of crashing steel and violence. His power level grew with each kata that got faster till he finally reached his limits, his limbs unable to move any faster as he came to a abrupt stop. Letting out a deep breath he let his body relax as he forced his ki to flow violently throughout his body, the churning storm inside of him reflected in his ki flow as his power level skyrocketed. Holding onto his power he started yet again his movements flowing even faster then before as his blade ravaged the clearing like a raging storm.
After what seemed like hours he finally let go of his ki and relaxed, his morning routine done as he sheathed his Chang dao. "What I would not give a for a bit of excitement in my life right about now" he muttered, the daily routine was starting to wear on him. Each day he felt devoid of any purpose not unlike a weapon left to rust away in some shed. Shaking his head it turned to clean up only to stop in his tracks, his senses picking up some disturbance of ki in the not so far distance. Shaking his head he let out a sigh before he complained "Be careful what you ask for Miller.....you might just get it."

The sounds of battle could be heard, roaring of a beast fighting something and its anger was just getting louder. Trees shaking as the stomping came closer and closer to the location of Reno. It wasn't till it hit a clearing that it was revealed to be Sensoa and a large dinosaur. The dinosaur soon being revealed to have a pack of them all rushing him and attempting to bite down upon the demon. Sensoa was in a playful mood today, enjoying teasing this poor predators into believing they could catch him. He easily side stepped, back flipped and performed acrobatics to dodge them. From jumping from tree branches to stepping off their noses mid attack, the demon was simply having his fun.
His speed easily outclassed his opponents and the fact he had his arms crossed while he did so was only to mock them. Normally he wasn't one for toying with weaklings, he saw it as a waste of time, but what he did in his free time today was his own business. His slaughtering of Yakone, and coupled with annoying encounters in the last few days had left the demon wanting enjoyment. So it wasn't until he came to a stop atop the head of one of the dinosaurs in the middle that the demon noticed a human nearby. His power was quick impressive considering most of them only had a power level of 5 or 6.
As he stood atop one of their heads, it began to flail wildly, thrashing about to throw him off. To which he gladly came down, skip dodging attacks in the direction of the human. He wanted to see just what this man could do, and as such using his speed would jump over the man with a peace sign.
"Have fun little man."
Sensoa said as he vanished from view behind the young lad. This left the dinosaurs with only one target now, Reno. Meanwhile Sensoa simply hovered in the air with a sinister smile upon his face. Again, normally he wouldn't do such childish antics but today was just a day where he wanted to be a fool. His hearted needed a little bit of light humor else he may just die of stress.

The sounds of battle with dinosaur was enough to send most humans screaming into the wilds, a pack like this was like to have the army called down to deal with them. But no it was not these apex predators that froze his blood cold his veins, his inner eye all but shattering his composure at the staggering power this man radiated. So utterly terrified at this mans presence alone he nearly failed to react to the dinosaurs attacks the lead dinosaur attacked with its massive jaws descending on what it thought was a easy meal. It was only at the last moment did the ginger finally acted as he turned into a blur of crimson hair and flashing steel as he attacked on reflex alone, his mind still frozen as he butchered the unfortunate carnivore. Nearly cut asunder as the reptilian corpse slid past him, a action that froze the rest pack in their tracks. It took only a moment before their fight or flight instincts kicked in as they fled, a act that finally brought his mind back to its senses.
"Alright now I hope you don't mind if I ask what the hell that was about!?"
His body showed no outward panic as his insides still clenched at his stomach in a desperate desire to escape this monster, the power he displayed was no doubt only a fraction of his power and already he felt outclassed by him. With a careful intake of air he forced his ki into the earlier storm of power he displayed before his power level rising to the highest he could muster, a mere candle compared to this beasts inferno of ki.
"Steady you breathing and ki, let your fear sharpen your blade" he muttered to low to hear as he faced the demon.

Sensoa was surprised when he dispatched the dinosaur, as he had thought for a moment the man was going to be eaten. But with a quick movement he had slaughtered the poor dinosaur, causing the rest to flee in terror. An impressed Sensoa would simply lower himself to the ground before landing upon the ground, the very grass about him dying quickly from the dark ki emitting from him. It was then that the man got into a fighters stance, and not only that prepared to defend himself. Instead of speaking about how that was wrong, the man simply went to a form of defense, or perhaps it was an offensive stance ready to strike? The human's ki then rose up, growing ever higher before capping out at a solid number.
"Ho...? You would rather stand and fight then flee, leaving your back open? I am impressed, excellent judgement call."
Sensoa simply clapped with genuine amusement, looking at the man in a new light. Upon first glance he didn't think of him as any different than the multitude of insects of earth. Yet here he was standing his ground, and like a champ too!
"You are brave human... Your form isn't half bad either... I'd wager you were taught that stance aye?
Sensoa was roughly 200 years old, experience was on his side here when seeing a new form of fighting style. The demon had spent nearly one hundred and eighty years fighting. To see a new form of fighting style was impressive, and he respected it.
"Tell me your name boy... What do they call you? I am Sensoa Ghoun."
The demon spoke his name as he crossed his arms, awaiting for his answer.

Narrowed his eyes, his thoughts examining every word this monster spoke as he tried desperately to understand the situation. Unable to come with any likely scenario he decided to roll with its line of questioning, attacking or running away would only get him cut down. "I am called re.. Renuldo Miller but I am often called Reno as well since many like me find Re..nuldo a bit of a mouthful " spoke, a stutter appearing every time his spoke his real name. It was a trait that had caused him no small amount grief growing up.
"I really don't have much talent for running away as I have yet to find anything stronger then myself......until today"
Still he kept his guard up as he slowly built up ki his blade, a subtle change in his ki as he secretly prepared a strike. It was best to be prepared rather then caught defenseless, one could always call his ki back if the threat passed but he might not get another chance to prepare if he let this pass. Looking him over he finally tilted his head in a questioning manner, his eyes still locked on his target in front of him.
"And where did you come form? I would have felt someone like you at some point....there is no way I could miss power like this"

Sensoa tilted his head at the man's stutter, but he supposed it was just the way things were. Everyone had their problems, and Sensoa was not one to judge based on small things such as this. He instead smiled when the man spoke of having not met anyone stronger than himself until today. The demon simply shrugged before the next question came, asking where he came from. The demon was a bit confused by the question and the indication he had not felt powerful aura's until now.
"I am from the demon realm, located in another dimension of sorts. I have only been on earth for a few months... perhaps a year? I do not remember the exact date of my arrival."
Sensoa gestured to the north.
"I lived to the north for sometime, isolated mostly. But now I ask you. What are you doing out here alone? Training perhaps?"
Sensoa was aware the man was decent with that strange blade, and could only assume he was out here training.

"Hmm I guess there is no harm in telling that I was traveling the world training, however I must admit the sport has gotten quite dull. A blade will rust if its never used, it sharp edge growing dull over time due form the lack of use"
It a twist Reno's eyes moved to the ground every so slightly as he was momentarily lost in the same thoughts that had plagued him of late, a deep desire to have a reason to keep his edge. Realizing his error he quickly brought his eyes up as kept his stance in a fluid state ready combat, his eyes searching his opponent for any threat. Still he had to reason the man felt no fear as he casually talked with his guard down, his body open to attack from Reno and even if was attacked he was under no threat at least form him.
"So tell me, does that blade every grow dull on your back? Or do you keep it plenty busy staying sharp for your enemies Sensoa? As you can no doubt tell earth is not the best place to find a good fight."
A strange question he knew but he was curious if this demon was used to the battle fields and if so would he tell him where such battle fields where? A place where his blade could grow as sharp as this man's own blade was welcome thought if he survived this encounter. Now that the fear had settled his excitement was building at the thought of such battles, his chest tightening with every moment that he lasted in this strangers presence

Sensoa listened to the man speak of training, of how the blade would grow dull if it never was used, and the demon couldn't help but feel he had met a kindred spirit. He understood the feeling of never having his blade used in proper battle and the idea that one would grow stagnant, after all he preached about it often. The demon would laugh, not out of smite or malice but he couldn't help but find the whole situation amusing. He would consider himself happy if it weren't so dulled due to the magics on him.
"HA! You truly are unlike any earthling I ever met. Aye I know what you mean indeed. It is refreshing to hear those sentiments from another person."
Sensoa took hold of his sword, the ancient blade making a clank as it was unsheathed before the red energy burst from its sheath, like red waves of energy and tendrils seeking out the nearby life. The blade's unending hunger filling the area like a wave of heat on the area. With the blade fully drawn, the energy flew back into the blade, the red metal shining brightly before returning to the crimson sheen it always had.
"Aye, it is an unnamed blade that I have received. I have yet to name it... But the blade keeps sharp by conflict, and there is much of it. Soon there will be more..."
Sensoa placed the flat of his katana on his shoulder to rest, looking at the human with interest.
"If you are seeking battle, well I have need of a fellow blade. Perhaps you are the one... of course we will need to train you and make you much stronger."
With that the demon couldn't help but grin wider, this man was interesting and he certainly liked that look in his eyes. The hunger for a good battle. Aye, was a fine way to be. The demon gestured with his head to the east.
"You see, I have something big planned for the future... something I could use help with. If you are interested in working alongside me that is."
Sensoa asked, holding out his hand to Reno. He was hoping to be able to train this man up, or at least aid him in growing in raw power.

Reno would be lying if he said he was uninterested his offer, the idea of not only fighting strong fighters but the idea of becoming as strong as the creature in front of him was nearly to much for him to resist. He was a blade who sole purpose was to fight battles and to kill for his wielder, for to not be used for your purpose was worse then death. Still he was sure hell would follow where ever this man and was he sure he wanted to follow into it?
"Hmm it would seem my current training is quite paltry in comparison of your own. The idea of hard fought battles is certainly a intriguing proposition but..."
He let his words fall off as he lifted his stance to a more passive one as rolled the idea over in his head some more. He did not mind the danger of it all and getting stronger was a sweet deal in his opinion, a way to break away form his currently stagnate life. But he had no stake in the up coming battles,no home to defend, no kingdom to serve ,or no desire so seek out some so called justice. Mulling it over for a moment before he finally looked at the demon and let a ear splitting grin cross his face, the gingers had reaching up to grasp his hand in a firm shake.
"Very well it would not be the first time I have worked as a mercenary and I have to admit I miss knowing what each day had going for me. However I don't work for free so keep your word on the training and Ill consider that payment enough. I am not sure if someone like you would even have currency anyways or even a reason for it"

Sensoa would nod as the man spoke, and was pleased when his hand was shaken. It would seem he had found himself a partner to train with and that in of itself was going to be worth it. The demon withdrew his hand after it had been shook before sheathing his sword and giving a shrug as the man spoke about payment.
"I have plenty of money to pay you with, so you need not worry about that. In both forms of training and tangible currency."
With that the demon would turn to leave.
"We shall meet again, and when we do, I will have prepared a proper training facility for us both. When I am ready, meet me in the north and we shall begin."
With that the demon began walking to leave. Unless Reno had anything else to say, Sensoa was ready to leave so he could set up for the future training.

He could only smile, he would have taken the offer without the money but it was nice to acquire more form such a deal. With few possessions it would not take him long to follow the man, a desire to start as soon as he could growing inside him.
"Ill be along shortly....I rather not squander any time I have to grow stronger"
Watching the man leave he took a long glance at the mans back, his stopping just long enough for him to muse silently. So he had finally met the green monster he had grown up hearing about, his eye's locking onto the mans sword for a moment. The sword was amazing form what he could tell, the craftsmen and energy that flowed form that blade was unlike anything he had ever seen before. It must have survived countless battles and even the toll of time itself before the man had gotten a hold of it.
"I would not be at all lying to so I am so damn jealous of that blade"
