xxxxReiki took a deep breath and readjusted his grip on the wooden practice staffs he had in hand. Then he unleashed another barrage on the hunk of wood that hung in front of him. The moonlight reflected off the scars on his bare back making them appear as though they were glowing. The block of wood was large and extremely heavy, but every strike Reiki landed on it managed to move it which cause the large branch it was hanging from to groan. Then when Reiki attempted a strike with his right hand, the wooden practice staff he was holding snapped in two on impact.
xxxxReiki sighed as he rolled his shoulders back, stretching out his muscles. Sure there was a trickle of sweat down his forehead and his muscles were a little sore, but he hadn't intended on being done yet. He dropped the broken staff and leaned the other one against the base of the tree. He braced his hands against the hanging chunk of wood, using his strength to slowly convince it to stop it's movement. Reiki looked up at the moon as he dusted off his hands on his pants. It would have felt ominous to anyone who wasn't the FIVE. After all they were the ones who were the biggest danger to the town and town's people. What did they have to be scared of?
xxxxReiki put his shirt back on and headed back inside. Reiki was hesitant to label this place a home. Sure, it housed his family, but it was much more of a luxurious prison than a home. Reiki's frowned returned. This place reminded him too much of the prison he had grown up in. It was different this time though, this time he had the FIVE. He knew his comrades would most definitely still be awake at this hour. None of them were really the early to bed, early to wake type people. Though Reiki wasn't really one to seek out companionship. The hunger at the pit of his stomach found him wandering to the kitchen though where he walked in on the two females of the group. He took a moment looking around at the ingredients they had gotten out. They clearly were cooking for more than themselves. Reiki felt like smiling, but he didn't. Smiling wasn't really one of the things he did, instead he just said, "You need help?"
