This women was really starting to wear thin on his nerves. But Kojima was no fool, despite his own pride and lust for revenge he couldn't fight this women... not yet. If she was a half saiyan, then she had no tail like him and he'd already read her power level before, or rather, he didn't need too. If it was stronger than her opponent before than she was definitely stronger than he was especially in his weakened state like this.
"Tch... You really don't know anything..."
He muttered to himself.
"If you want me to change my attitude and mind, find me a reason to."
He said, Not moving for a few moments to wait and see if she had anything right then and there.
"I'll make you a deal."
He said, raising his right hand and holding a single finger up as he turned his head half to her.
"One month. For one month I will do as you wish and not go after any Saiyans. I will keep myself hidden and I will not kill any Saiyan who does not come after me and attack first. In that one month if you can find me sufficient proof that there are Saiyans that have, as you say, turned to live as bloodless a life as possible here on earth. Then I will change my mind and I will not go after their entire race and instead only those that killed my Mother. But if after one month you have failed to find that sufficient proof... You must stand down and not interfere with my goals ever again. If you truly think that there are more than enough on earth alone that you can prove they are worth saving you shouldn't have any trouble accepting this."

“Find you a reason? Do I look like a dog, do I look like someone who does things for someone elses amusement? As I know for a fact knowing that I am scurrying about the planet trying to find you a reason to not kill the saiyans would be amusing for you…” As she spoke she tried to reign in her temper only to fail as she stared at him. She was still seething as she saw him raise a hand and begin to talk once again.
:: With all the nerve. He wants me.. a solitary person to go out there and find… I am in no shape to fight him right now though. If he gives me a month I can train and be ready for him should he actually not back down.:: Her mind raced as she heard his conditions for stopping his genocidal thoughts. What he spoke about would be neigh impossible as most saiyans that came to live on Earth kept themselves very well hidden to keep their former allies and families from hunting them down to kill them. In their paranoia she could be perceived as a threat and attacked.
“You give me an entire month to do something that could take years. Your doing this because you know it is impossible for me to accomplish this. All your wanting to do is watch me scurry about and then in the end rub my nose in it when I cannot find the number of saiyans you want to dissuade you as I think you have already made up your mind…” The venom still seeping in her words as she stayed glaring at him despite her actions to try and calm herself down. Though her hand was down and was non threatening toward him. Despite the fact she may want to attack him she was not going to do so.

"You're more foolish than you look! You think this is a game!? You think I get amusement out of killing!? If that's how you think then you're JUST LIKE THEM!"
He said with his own venom in his voice as he stared back at her and turned to her. He moved back over to her and sneered at her.
"If I thought it impossible then I wouldn't of even offered the deal in the first place! You claim that it's true then prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt! Stop trying to make excuses and just do it! You claim they're everywhere, you claim that the evidence is right before my eyes and then you go and say it could take years for you too!? How do you expect me to believe that they can actually change with that kind of excuse!?"
He yelled at her now with naught but venom in his voice, He wanted so badly to just reach down and grab her throat but... No, he wasn't like the Saiyans that would kill her for doing what she just did.
"If you think me the same as them then think about this. Instead of killing you or attacking you I talked with you. Instead of killing you right now for what you said and have done, I'm still TALKING with you. If you think me the same as them then you need to rethink what a Saiyan truly is."

"I do not think this is a game.. I think you are treating this as a game. For all I know is you want me to find these saiyans so you can hunt them down easier. You said already there is no peace between you and them. So why am I to believe you in any word you say?"
Ninjin was not caring how much anger she was pushing out into her words. In her mind she had to be very careful with this dance she was doing as it could wind up going very bad for her if she continued pushing this man. Though her distrust eased if only a little as he spoke about if he had thought it impossible he wouldnt of offered the deal to her. This was a glimmer of hope for Ninjin that this man was not completely lost in himself.
Sighing to herself as she turned her back to him. Grabbing the hilt of her sword she awaited him to finish talking as she pulled it from the ground. Taking a moment she began to float up in the air.
"I will go and find these saiyans for you... As for you acting just like them stop and think on this. You act with agression toward every saiyan. You gain bitter tones in your voice as your saiyan blood begins to boil just as I do. We both have done things we cannot be proud of and yet here we are alive. While all those before us have been laid down cast aside by our fists or blades."
Keeping her back toward him as she felt as if she was looking into a possible future for herself should she become consumed by the hatred and rage she felt within herself. If her quest to find those that had killed her father consumed her very being.
"I may act naive I.. may act like I have not seen the world for what it is. The thing is... I do not want to lose myself into the pits of despair and weakness that you felt on that day. I.. will not say to know exactly how that felt for you to see that happen before you anymore. As it had to be the single worst moment of your life... I will find these saiyans for you... Then if you would let me I will help you bring to justice those monsters that killed your mother. It is not my place, nor my fight to do but... after seeing how hard you push yourself. I cannot help but feel that you need some assistance in your quest."
She would wait for his answer before taking flight her sword and equipment on her back once again. As she needed to go and find these kind hearted saiyans to make certain that this could be resolved without unnecessary bloodshed.

"Fine, For 1 month I shall wait right here then. I won't make any hostile actions towards any Saiyans that do not act aggressive towards me first. If they then try to flee, I will not give chase."
He told her, placing his sword into the ground as he listened to her speak of her own rage consuming her. There was a soft thud on the ground before Kojima moved over to her, stopping behind her before placing his arms around her. Whether or not she wanted this, he didn't know. But with how little social interaction he actually had he honestly didn't care. When she finished talking he spoke up, speaking softly.
"Don't worry, with how much you've helped me already I can't allow that to happen. I promise, for so long as I am able I will not allow you to lose yourself to the rage that threatens to consume any Saiyan."
He kept his voice soft, and despite everything even his hold over her wasn't very tight. It was more like he was trying to show her that there was someone there that wanted to care for her because for him, He'd been alone the vast majority of his life and he knew how hard it was to keep a grip on yourself when you were alone. Their goals were similar, but the paths that brought them to this point and their future paths were different.

Instead of floating away she froze as she felt the arms wrap around her. The last person to give her such and embrace was her mother the last time she had visited her almost four years prior. Closing her eyes as she squinted her eyes tightly shut. She reached down and placed a hand of her onto his organic hand.
"And I promise you the same thing... We both have that powder keg within us. With one spark we can both be lost in its endlessly burning flame. I.. know how hard it will be for you to remain idle for this month and not seek out your mothers killers... That is why I want to help you. It is why I want to assist you in fighting them as if my mothers stories are true.. Then maybe this path will help me toward the mastermind behind my fathers demise."
All the while while she spoke she had fighting back tears. As such moments like this had been few and far between in her life. She had spent most of her life trying to train and become a machine when it comes to fighting. Yet despite that she was a deeply caring and peaceful person. Even when it came to killing creatures for her meals she only did what was necessary and nothing more. She never struck out of anger unless she was in combat. Giving his hand a light squeeze she spoke up again.
"My offer will stand to assist you until your mission is complete. Until that day if you ever need me and I am close enough to feel your ki in distress I will come to your aid."
She wanted to ask him his name once more but she assumed that he would not tell her even if she asked nicely so she did not even attempt it.

Kojima said nothing more and instead moved to pull her down and sit, resting her in his lap with his arms around her. His eyes closed as he rested his head against her shoulder and stared into the crackling campfire. An endless crackling flame... But all flames died eventually no matter how hard one tried otherwise. It would die and vanish into the ashes of eternity. No matter how hard one tried eventually their fire would die and when it would vanish from the traces of memory days later as nothing but a remnant. Just like a campfire, When this campfire went out would he remember this night? Would he remember Ninjin?
"Kojima... My name... Is Kojima"
He said softly, still staring into the campfire almost absentmindedly. What would happen tomorrow? What would happen 10 days from now? 10 years from now? 100 years from now? Would anything he did in his lifetime be remembered or even have a difference in the future or would it all just be forgotten in the long stream of time? He didn't know, but he knew he had to get revenge for his Mother. This wasn't something he wanted to do, not something someone told him to do. It was something he had to do, to avenge his Mothers death after she'd been wronged by those Saiyans and the ones who gave them the orders. He would make them pay for what they did and he would ensure the entire Saiyan race either paid the same price, or changed their ways. Then, he'd go after the Arcosians who did the same thing as them only worse. He'd force every race in the universe to be peaceful or they'd die to his hands. If they agreed to be peaceful then they would continue living on without him ever interfering with their lives or even remembering them but if they refused and continued their bloody rampage he'd end them.

""Thank you for telling me your name Kojima..."
She spoke as she leaned back against him as they settled onto the ground. Leaning in such a way that her head lightly placed against his own. Her closed eyes no longer being in such despair against what they had been talking about. After a few moments she opened her eyes and looked at the campfire. Her own words coming back to her as she thought about it as she looked at the fire and then felt a soft smile creep on her face.
"Can.. I ask about your mother? Like what type of person was she like? What did she look like? You spoke about her being a peaceful person can you tell me more about her then that?"
Her words where calm and respectful. She was trying her best to learn what she could about Kojima.
"I can tell you everything I know about my family if you do the same thing. If that is alright to you."

"You ask the impossible..."
Kojima was quick to answer with a deep sigh.
"Not because I do not wish too... But because I cannot answer your question the way you ask. I hardly remember her. In truth, all I really know is that she wanted peace and they didn't so they killed her for it. I've never been to our 'home world' so I've never been able to get any more information on it and truthfully I planned that when I did eventually get there I would search for those answers above anything."

"I am sorry that you cannot tell me.. She sounded like a beautiful and kind woman."
Speaking up as she felt herself slowly started to drift off. Her hand held his lightly as she thought to herself. It was obvious that she was going to talk more to him.
"Well I wanted to tell you about mine then. My mother has auburn hair, or she did before she had most of it removed due to a disease where they had to irradiate a portion of her body. She remained strong despite being ill for so long. I am thankful she managed to defeat it but that was.. many years back. I have not seen her in a long time. First because I was young and indepenant... now I wont go to her because of my own status being attacked almost constantly."
Speaking softly as she stayed leaning back into him her own eyes fluttering as she felt herself starting to get tired. Though despite that she was going to stay awake to talk with him until she found him falling asleep.

This is a touching thread. I sense a bit of mistrust between Kojima and Ninjin in this thread. Actually, definitely seems more like a growing hatred with the way Ninjin acts towards Kojima's desire for revenge against all the Saiyans, and vice versa, but it'll be interesting to see how more of this plot turns out in future threads. In terms of the promise they've made I kind of wonder if either side can keep it.
