The First Meeting (Past Topic Dual Training)

Roxas wasn't sure how long he had exactly been sealed up in stasis by Kyoshiro Kurogane. He remembered the entire chuunin exam like it was yesterday, but everything seemed so different now. He had been gone for years. There were new nations and new creatures all around. He didnt know exactly how much had changed but he somehow knew nothing would ever be the same. This chill ran down his spine as he sat and awaited for Jazz within the training facility of the Shogunate Empire. Even his own body didn't feel the same. He would clench his fists tightly as he could no longer feel Tekio's presence within him. He felt like he was missing a part of his own soul.
