Burn that gasoline [Active]
Who: Nero (devilbringer) and Gojyo (red_as_sin)
What: Nero takes Gojyo to the shooting range as requested.
When: If yesterday was supposed to be tomorrow, it'd be today. 8|
Where: Great Hall, the streets, and the range.
Warnings: Snarkypants, flirting from Gojyo and some violence from Nero's aggressiveness? We'll see...

Nero had absolutely no idea why he had agreed in taking in this guy's offer in showing him around- what was his name, anyway? Maybe he had been bored, maybe he had just wanted an excuse to get away from Dante. With his room destroyed, he was still living with the Devil Hunter, and the tension somehow seemed to grow between them even though they didn't do exactly nothing. It was unsettling, Nero felt confined, and he hated it. Maybe a change of pace and scenery would spice things up a little.

Despite the fact that he seemed a whole lot too friendly for someone he barely knew (not to mention that flirting between him and that guy Mello in his own journal that had made him want to gag; seriously, guys, get a fucking room), the guy mentioned he had a weapon. He was at least curious about that. After all, weapons had always been a subject of interest to Nero. He smirked, oh well, he'd see what this guy could do, he considered as a confident smirk to no one in particular drew itself on his lips, eyes flickering to his media player to pick up the volume, . He leaned his head back against the couch he was sitting on in the Great Hall and let out an exasperated sigh.

Yeah, this guy better appear sometime.

Sometime this century, please.

"Huh. And humans don't think they're superior?" Gojyo couldn't stop himself. He reached into his pocket for a smoke, glancing over at Nero. Humans, in his experience, were at least as bad. He lit the cigarette, inhaling deeply from it.

Honestly, what Nero was saying sounded like the bad excuses of either side as to why they had to kill the others. Whoever won ruled the others; but it wasn't as if the fight could end. No, he was sick of that. "So they attack first?" he asked, just to confirm.

"Well..." Nero frowned and rolled his right shoulder absently, to then slip his left hand into his pocket again. "I can't deny that there are humans who are just as much scum as demons. Hell, that figured to be the biggest problem back at home." Even if that old fart Sanctus had wanted to use demonic power to save the town from the demons, the fact that he was first unleashing it just to restore the people's faith and become the new savior was still something that made his blood boil. Who the hell comes up with that kind of shitty plan?

And then, when he used Kyrie... it had been the last drop.

"Back in my world, humans are pretty much defenseless against demons, and those attack people regardless of who they are and what they've done. If they're there, they're prey." He glanced absently at Gojyo's cigarette. Yeah, this guy was obviously feeling around to check what kind of person he was. Nero wasn't a waste of brain power even if he was always picking up fights. He knew better than to attack something that was defenseless or wasn't ill-minded.

He... just kinda needed the adrenaline.

"Doesn't mean humans can't fight them. But good luck with that." He shrugged. "Most people who do are either something special or spent their whole lives dedicated to hunting them down."

"Fucked up world," Gojyo commented absently, aware that there was a lot that Nero wasn't telling him. But then, he couldn't really expect him to, either. He studied the other man for a moment, frowning just slightly.

"If humans were defenseless, and demons killed without meaning, wouldn't all humans be dead by now?" Gojyo asked. It would make sense; humans were weaker then youkai, but still found ways to fight them. It was the only reason why there were any still alive after the minus wave had been created.

Gojyo was feeling more confident that Nero, at least, wasn't that bad, but this was all hitting a little too close to home. He was fucking shit of people hating each other for being a different species. Fucking sick of it, because to him that always meant he was trapped between two sides, and he didn't feel like picking one or the other.

Nero rubbed his nose with his wrist, nodding. Tell me about it, though, truth to be told, that was still his home. And he missed the hunt. It was what he had been raised to do, and he reveled in it, and the fact that he was protecting those he cared about by doing it.

"Two thousand years ago, the demons tried to invade the human world. But a demon knight turned against them and separated the demons back in their world," Nero shrugged. "But a few demons still wander the earth. That's when people like me come in."

He stopped by a metallic gate. "This is it." He told him, opening it with a small kick with the tip of his boot and entering the range. Empty. Alright, then.

"So most humans don't know they exist?" Gojyo guessed. So there were some differences, at least. Good. otherwise it just seemed too freaky.

Gojyo followed after Nero into the range, looking around curiously. He had no idea what he was doing there, since he'd only touched a gun a few times in his life. But it might be interesting. Maybe he'd learn a thing or two to use against Sanzo.

"So why do they wanna invade the human world?" Gojyo couldn't help it. By this point he was just curious.

"Depends where you are from, I guess." Nero sat on a long bench behind the shooting booths and took out his double-barrel revolver, checking the safety, the trigger, the hammer and the ammo. Yeah, everything in its right place. "My town was pretty into that stuff. Worshiped the demon guy who locked the demons in their world as if it were a god and everything."

And both of his sons are here in this world, too, he thought, but didn't say.

Nero arched an eyebrow at that last question. "I told you: They only care about power. They'd probably make it a battle ground for their bullshitty squabbles to see who becomes the strongest."

Never mind that Nero still had that voice in his head, whispering, echoing demands and pleas for more power, purring whenever something demonic absorbed into his demon arm.

"So, did you bring a gun or are you gonna have to use mine?" he gave Gojyo a once over, since he hadn't even bothered to check any signs of arms on him. Heh. If Credo ever knew, he'd just roll his eyes and shake his head with that glare of his.

Wherever his soul was now, anyway.

Gojyo sat down next to him, watching as Nero checked his gun. He leaned back on his hands, and after a few moments he turned away to stare out at the range instead. "So they're just like humans, then," he commented.

At Nero's question, he shrugged and grinned. "Don't have a gun. Told you, not my weapon," he reminded him. To Nero, it would look like he wasn't carrying a weapon at all, although he was prepared to bring out his shakujou at a moment's notice.

Nero nodded. "Won't deny that one," he agreed. Though he had learned not to label people just like that. After all, after the person that was most looked up to by the whole city turns evil, his girlfriend's brother transforms into a demon and yet tries to save him and it's a half-demon that helps him kick the old fart's ass... yeah, not exactly going to label anyone else before knowing them.

Though that wouldn't change Nero's attitude in the least.

He stood up, rolled the roulette of the revolver with his thumb, and handed it over to Gojyo. "Want to give it a shot?" He told him, not exactly telling him that the gun shot two bullets at once because... well, the gun did look different from the others, didn't it?

Gojyo looked at the gun for a moment before accepting it with a shrug. Why not? He weighed it in his hand for a moment before standing up, walking over to the range.

"Not gonna help me out, then?" he asked, glancing at Nero over the shoulder. He was grinning. Really, he could figure out how to use a gun on his own, he wasn't completely helpless -- but still, he had to take advantage of this as much as possible.

Nero arched an eyebrow and eyed Gojyo suspiciously. "You have handled a gun before, right?" He asked, stepping closer and crossing his arms. Sure, the world was full of hotshots but his gut and the conversation he had with the guy gave him the idea that even though it wasn't his favorite weapon, he still knew how to use them. He motioned up with his chin. "Let me see your stance first." He asked. Then he could probably tell him if something was wrong or not.

And maybe it would be fun if he took a shot and got thrown back from the kick. Heh, it would.
