He placed four down, replicating her actions. A queen of spades. He took the four cards, and gently popped his neck.

"I...think you've earned that, at least." Kūkan sighed. "Just don't tell anyone, alright? It's not something I want broadcasted...for several reasons...." He placed down a 10 if Diamonds, and looked at Rizi. "I'm tied to something called The Void...essentially it's a faceless being that makes up the universe, the essential 'God', if you will. Other 'Gods' were created both by remaining power from it's birth, and human desire for a being to have faith in. It exists now to keep balance in the universe, mainly through Agents. It only acts or picks agents, such as myself, during times of great distress. My power, for lack of a better term, is the control of shadows. Manipulation stimming from both a contract between me and another Agent, my blade, made when I was four. My 'Demon Hunting' isn't exactly restricted to just Demons...angels or other celestial beings that come out, basically anything that tries to shift the balance of the Universe and Nature to it's own side. I have to either convince them to back off or deal with them. Permenantly."

He exhaled slowly, and winced. He was still suffering from a massive energy drain. "I use Soul Energy to manipulate the shadows, though I only know of two techniques: 'Shadowstep', which basically allows me to use any form of shadow as a teleportation device. I'm only an intermediate user, though, so I can't use something light like another person's shadow, or even step out from the shadow of a falling leaf. I can only use heavier ones to Shadowstep. The other technique is manifesting my sword's Soul, for lack of a better term, into the real world. Kumori is a bit...well, she's basically the opposite of my personality. That particular ability is rather...draining. Combine two of those, several Shadowsteps, and the fatigue of a spar, and that's why I'm in here in the first place."
