*Than's hand starts to clench shut, squeezing hard on his palm* He.... forced her into this...... he would cause another being to follow destiny according to his path. Apollo-kun...... how dare he..... he doesn't even know what he's done! *His fist starts bleeding from the pressure he put on it. He was gritting his teeth as his energy started to seep through the area* How could he....... *His energy swirls around him violently, an unholy taint to it*

Than!? *He shields himself slightly because he was so close to the boy. He really didn't expect Than to become violent during this discussion* Than calm down! gah. *He steps back, since getting too close to Than was dangerous. He couldn't sense Aeris is the torrent of energy*
Axl: Nyah? *He had felt the power and now found Aeris hiding. He stood beside her, watching* hoi! eek what happened?

Aeris's eyes widen as she watches both TJ and Than. Of course she didnt know what was what going on, having just caught the end of the conversation, but the sudden rage from Than certainly sets her on edge. Shes about to come out from her hiding spot until she suddenly hears Axl behind her, his words causing her to jump with a sudden start and surprised yell. Stumbling back a little she turns her attention back to him and catches her breath a bit. "Axl, what are you doing here?"

Axl: *blinks and looks to Aeris* I was here to try and make sure those two weren't spied on, since the matter's.....kinda sensitive. But I don't know what set the kid off....
Than: Why...... why would he want to put another child through the same thing. There's no difference. It won't solve anything..... he doesn't even know what he's done. *Than's arms wrap around himself as he falls to his knees and trembles violently. The symbol on the left side of his back slowly glowing brighter*

Sensitive is right, although Aeris still doesnt know whats really going on. She steps back a little and keeps herself behind the bushed, turning her attention back and forth from Axl to TJ and Than. "What exactly are they talking about?"

*still unaware of Aeris being there, he watches Than* What? Than I don't understand what you're saying. But it doesn't matter anymore you hear me?..... the child is dead! *He sighs* That fight from the other day..... Kaiori was attacked and her child didn't make it. Kai's body couldn't support a demon child after that kind of fight...... the baby's already dead Than......

Axl: *He sighs* It's about Kai..... I'm not sure I should say the specifics..... but basically Kai was pregnant and the kid died in a fight..... we were hoping Than might be able to help her through it....
Than: N-nani? *His expression changes from anger to shock and his aura starts to die down*...... So not only did he force Kaiori and the child into this...... but he even failed to ensure the child's safety.....*Than was now on his hands an knees*...... Kaiori-san tried to bare the child regardless.... and she lost it in protecting the dojo...... *He winces his eyes shut and lets his head drop a bit* Apollo-kun......

Aeris nods to Axl and sighs a little. Without going into details, it was probably enough for her to figure out what was going on, or at least what Than was feeling.
"Those poor kids." She says softly as she turns her attention back to TJ and Than, still keeping herself out of this, for now at least.

*TJ kneels down so he was at Than's level* Exactly. It may have been Apollo's child but it was also Kai's. You know she wouldn't turn away a kid like that, regardless of her own difficulties. The loss of the child probably left her in pieces. I haven't seen her since...... but I know what it's like to have your child taken from you.... even more so to let myself change because of it. *He was, of course, referring to when Forge had murdered Aeris, taken Aileen, and caused him to try and leave behind his emotions. Aileen had helped to make him realize his mistake.... but he'd never forgiven himself for what he'd done in that time* Than.... you're closer to Kai than most people here. Whether she admits it or not, your help is probably what she needs most right now. You can help her find the will to go on......

Axl: *He continues to watch, seeing Than calm down*
Than: Hai...... Kaiori-san won't turn away any life that can't fend for itself. *He slowly moves back until he's sitting down with one knee pulled up* TJ-sama I'd more than willingly help her...... but what do you want me to do..... how much help can I be if I can't help myself.

Aeris crosses her arms over her chest and stay silent for the moment, just watching to see what TJ says.

*Twi looks straight at Than, even if he wasn't looking back* Kai's in a very fragile state right now. Losing a child can do that..... and I know from past experience that the last thing a person in that state needs is to be left alone, to let that pain fester into something more. What we're hoping for is that you will stay with her for a while and try to keep her as..... herself as possible. She needs to know that even with such a tragedy that there is still a place for her in life..... that she can't let one event determine her entire life. We also need someone to protect her from Apollo. She can't defend herself right now. If Apollo comes for her there's no telling what'll happen. You've gone up against Apollo more times than the rest of us.... you know what to expect and you have, so I see, the most reason to stop him from getting to Kai....

O-of course I'll help her.... however I can. Gomen..... I'm sorry for almost losing it. I'll make sure she's safe...... that much I swear my life on..... *He takes a deep breath, still trembling slightly, but more so from the cold*

*sighs* I suppose there is.... though I'm not sure it makes any rational sense. I suppose...... it's because it hurts. *He rests his temple on his knee and closes his eye* TJ-sama..... you know the truth behind my creation.... compare what my father did to my mother to what Apollo-kun did to Kaiori-san. *he goes silent a moment* To think that another life would go through the same strife and pain that I went through. To know that you were created by a purpose by a conniving father and birthed by an unwilling mother. *some tears form along his closed eyes* It hurts more than anything to know that TJ-sama. A child like that will seek the truth because it hurts to not know....... but it also hurts to know that your destiny has already been decided....... it hurts the worse to know that, when it comes right down to it, if time were turned back, you wouldn't exist because your mother had that life forced upon them. Maybe my father does have more for me than just some ruthless plan..... and maybe my mother does love me with all her heart and soul...... no matter, it doesn't change the fact that I shouldn't exist.......
