Not the person I knew...(kura/open)

Tian turned back to normal and took a step towards him. She stood there, frowning and turned away. "I haven't forgiven you..." she told him. "Three people died the day after you set that building on fire." Her ears were drooping and her tail brushed the ground, a sign of sadness. "Kura, those people had families. Why couldn't you see that? Humans are different, they don't know right from wrong as well as our kind. You knew this, didn't you?" she asked, turning her head to look at him. "I forgave them, but you didn't," she growled. "Why?"

Vivian had followed Tian through the park by jumping from tree to tree and was extremely interested in what was going on. She stayed as quiet as possible, not moving a single muscle and barely even breathing. She wasn't sure what they were talking about exactly but it seemed like it had something to do with the fire at the Testing Facility.

At one point their voices were to quiet to hear clearly and Vivian leaned forward straining to hear them, which was a big mistake. The branch she was holding onto broke sending Vivian to the ground, as she desperately tried to grab onto something. She was finally able to grab hold of another branch, but she was already exposed. She tried to hide herself in the shadows and prayed that whoever that Tian was talking to wouldn't see her.

"I hate to break this to you," Kura said, rolling his eyes. His smile didn't fade, her words didn't faze him. "But its not that they don't understand the difference between right and wrong; its that they DON'T CARE. They just want to further themselves, they don't care who or what gets hurt along the way. Even if it means backstabbing their brothers."
He was slightly taken aback by the fact that she was completly convinced that he way responsible for the fire. He felt guilt for having lied, even if he had already justified it. He looked away, his expression neutral "They are truly an arrogant, egotystical, barbaric, and evil race. There is no cure for evil other than death. It is time their barbaric warlike ways are used against them. I know it seems horrible, but I act for the greater good. Maybe you will understand once you get past this... phase... of yours." he turned to gaze at her. It was good she didn't know what he had been up to.
"I'm not insane. I'm simply unafraid of what must be done."

~SNAP!~

Kura sighed. "So you brought some of your human friends?" Kura looked in the direction of the noise and saw rustling in a tree. It was the location of her little 'spy'. He tensed up, hoping he could at least speak with his oldest friend in peace.

Vivian became tense and slowly tried to get to the other side of the tree, but, with her terrible luck, the branch she was on also broke. She fell to the ground right in front of Kura and muttered "Dammit. I didn't think that branch was so flimsy." She got up, rubbing the back of her head and looked at Kura saying "And I'd really prefer you didn't compare me to humans." She sighed and began brushing off the leaves that had gotten caught on her shirt during her fall. Not exactly the best way to make an entrance, but it would have to do.

"Kura..." Tian sighed. "Don't worry about Vivian." She turned to the girl. "Can you leave? Just for a few minutes?" she asked. "And, Kura. I'm not going through a 'phase.' I've always been like this, you should know that..." She paused and looked to the ground. "But I you were never like this. You never hurt anyone before..." She sat on the ground and stared at her claws.

Kura sighed as if in frustration. He paid no mind to the human looking girl, other than observing her reaction would insinuate she was not human. The fact that she was humanoid was reason enough for him to distrust her, though.
"True, it has never been in my nature to harm others, let alone kill. But you know I've always been one to expell evil. I've always had this strong sense of justice. I'm afraid it is you who has changed; you've never stood on the side of evil. You've befriended monsters."

"They aren't monsters!" she snapped. Turning to face him, she said, "I know why you can't trust the people from the lab, but what about the others? They never did anything to you, so why can't you give them a chance?" She sighed.

Vivian watched Tian and Kura as they went back and forward with their argument. She wasn't sure whether she should just walk away and keep herself out of this or try and help Tian. She stood there pondering the thought in her head for a minute and made up her mind. "Well how do you know what's evil? How does anyone know what's really evil?" she said slowly taking a few steps towards Kura. "You may think some things are evil while others don't. Like humans would think I'm evil because of what I am, but I don't see it as evil." She wasn't sure if what she had said would help or just get Kura even more defensive or pissed off. Either way she hoped it helped, even if it wasn't much.

Kura rolled his eyes at Tian's juvenile argument and favored Vivians theological point. "I understand perception has its limits, and noone is in the right to define evil, or conversely, good. Perhaps I have over simplified." He stepped out of Tian's reach as he spoke. The more Tian talked, the less he could trust she was in her right mind. "I target not evil but specifically those that victimize others. I consider victimization to be evil. I have observed betrayal, butality, and indifference to all be part of 'human nature'. Therefore, I have labeled their species hopelessly evil." He wanted to ask her what the hell she was, but was in the middle of an argument with two people so didn't have the time.

Kura turned back to Tian, his expression nuetral and his tone calm and logical.
"The killings at the testing facility were personal, yes; however, the others.... they died not for oppressing me, but for oppressing one another. Killing should never be done in selfish intent, and for that I regret my vengeance at the facility. However, the others were killed out of a righteous wrath."

Vivianstared at Kura without saying anything for a moment then said "Then what makes you any better than humans if you killed out of rage? And no, not all humans are like that. There are some who go against what they do at the testing facility and other places like that." She looked Kura straight in the eye while saying this and wondered how he would take what she had said.
