"You see?" Sakatoma said uninthusiastically. "Something like that makes me feel more in touch with my humanity. While it makes you recoil. Life is far too complicated for us." Sakatoma's enormous life span had been a cruel teacher. Though at first it inspired him to be a hero now he was no better than a common murderer. The faces of those two men he melted with his new power when Kerri freed him from the Hydra base haunted his mind. The look of horror as a rogue experiment broke out and burned everything in it's path.
"I honestly doubt anyone could ever see me the same way again. Judging by the way you're looking at me now, I'm guessing not even you..." Sakatoma wasn't very surprised by her reaction though. He knew Kerri very well, there was no way she'd know how to handle this.

Kerri looked away and sat down one the roof her knees bent but not pulled up to her. There was a lot to sore though and she had yet to find any words. Part of her wanted to protect it self and leave, another wanted to stay there.

"I get that I'm probably just an old coot. But seriously am I really that bad of a kisser? I must be losing my touch in ,y old age..." Sakatoma asked feeling rather lost. They'd known each other for quite some time. Kerri was always a good friend to him. "You've really never been in any kind of relationship, have you Kerri?"

"No." She said flatly. "Aside form the oceanology running ins with you I don't even talk to people" She looked up to the sky and noticed a bat go by. "Weather or not you wish to except it, the fact is that I am basically him in human form." She said pointing to the bat.

Sakatoma flexed his muscles and grunted forcing out the spikes and claws from within his body, they were sharper so it hurt less not but none the less to puncture ones skin was still painful.
"Just take a look at me, then ask yourself, do you really think I can't live with something like that?" Sakatoma then walked over and knelt down beside Kerri, being careful not to allow any of his spikes to prick her skin. "But I can think of something that makes you different from that bat. You are so much more beautiful..."

She looked over at him, struggling to still keep her defenses. "Why, why me? It's clear that your able to walk in the sun like other day walkers? Surly theirs other day waking mutants. Why resin yourself to the life of a night walker?"

"Sure there are others. But you've always been there. No matter what." Maybe Sakatoma was comming on too strong but still he did have feelings for Kerri. If nothing more was gained from this night's conversation it was that now she knew he felt that way.

It was true that she'd bin there to help him out when he needed, and he was the only one who'd even bother to try and know her. But the question was, was she even ready for this after so many years alone. "Hm, I could say the same." It was then the the last of the barriers weekend and she finely had to admit the truth to herself.

"Only difference is that now I'll be here every second. Keeping you under the protection of my shadow." Sakatoma slowly wrapped his arms around Kerri and held her tightly against his body. His figners on one hand ran gently through her hair.

"You know, wen I was younger, I'd watch as couples would walk by in the early evenings and would actually be a little envies that they had that opportunity, But eventually I rezoned myself to the simple fact that that was just another one of the many things that only day walkers were privileged to have."

"That's not true Kerri. Everyone has someone for them, they just have to find this person." Sakatoma spoke from experience. The many years of his life had taught him that no matter how long you live, you'll only have so many chances to fall in love with someone.

"You, you really believe that?" She then sighed trying to finely be able to say it out loud.

"Actually yes I do..." Sakatoma said stopping to think for a moment. "What I don't believe is that you've been under my nose all this time and never really noticed I felt this way until now."

"I've bin on my own so ling that I real had no idea how to deal with these types of feelings. So I've sent many nights trying to talk scene to myself and deny what I am no longer able to." She then looked up at him. "True this with you here, The night is that much brighter."

"Kerri, there's no need to protect yourself anymore. I'm here, and I wont let anything happen to you." Sakatoma forced his metallic exstensions to retreat back into his flesh. He then wrapped his soft feathery wings around Kerri. "Think of me as your loving gaurdian angel."
