*Returning to the stadium to keep an eye on things now her anger had abated.. her first stop was Azrael's room. She stopped just inside the door and leant against the frame, lighting a cigarette*
So, let me have it. You havent said a word hardly since the fight. Talk to me.

Dope skidded to a halt as she came dangerously close to the spinning needles and smirked
"Picked up a few new skills have we?" Dope asked out loud
She knelt down in front of Kenki and made a series of hand seals, "Bakuretsu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Three clones appeared as Dope stood up and jumped back away from Kenki, "Junbi Dekiteru?"
The clones turned to face Dope. "Ready" They all said before walking into Kenki's attack. As the needles tore into their flesh, Dope made another hand seal, "ENGAGE!"
She brought her arm back to shield her eyes as the clones exploded.

*From his position on one of the beds, Azrael turned his head to his sire, a cigerette hanging limp in his lips. He looked distant as he took a long drag, letting the smoke curl slowly from his nose*
You want to talk? Thats a first...
About what?
*Azrael exhaled softly and flicked his ash onto the nearby table, adding to a pile which looked to have been going for some time*

No Az, I dont want to talk... I want to listen. Usually, within ten minutes of you coming home, or within a mile of me, there's shouting and cursing and threats flying thicker than treacle before you can say 'monkey'. You've been nigh on silent this time. So, talk to me. Shout at me. Whatever. You're not the type to just cut yourself off from your enemies and not watch them... so tell me.
*She exhaled again, letting the smoke curl around her fingers as she raised them*

STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW ME!
*Azrael flew to his feet, flinging his arm backwards and sending the bed flying into the wall where it splintered into pieces. Azraels body twitched and waves of energy filled the room as his reiatsu poured out uncontrollably*
You had told us original three day in and day out how we were your chosen tools, chosen for some destiny that you had forseen. You know the circumstances of my birth, why my father hated me so much. You are the only mother I have ever had and yet you treat me only as your weapon. I thought I could live with that, thought that maybe that was just your way of showing your 'love', but then I see you with Corbin earlier, the one you chose to replace me, and you care for him more than you ever have for me!
*Azraels whole body shook and he seemed to be breathing heavily ((without breathing of course xp)) blood welled up in the corners of his eyes and his fists were clenched so tightly that blood ran out from his palms and dripped onto the floor*

s**t!
Quickly he formed a single hand seal, an as the clones exploded, the high velocity spin he had going managed to guard him some from the fire, however not completely an it did nothin for the blast force. As the air around him was pushed away, two shadow clones appeared. One infront of Kenki as his spin came to a sudden stop, and one behind him.
As th three embraced, they were hurled away from the explosion, and Kenki's pams began to glow wih a saphire chakra fire, as he clutched the back of the clone infront of him, effectively draining back the chakra expended, before it vanished due to the burn damage it took in Kenki's place.
Once the pair left were some distance from the blast, and starting to descend t'ward the ground, the clone behind Kenki drew two kunai with attached explosion charms, and braced itself as Kenki used this clone as a base, bringing his boots up to the hands clutching explosive projectiles.
The explosive notes then went off against the bottoms of Kenki's boots, ad at the same time, the clone hurled Kenki forward, before vanishing.
At the same speed as the explosion (conciderable) Kenki flew back t'ward the cloud of smoke and debree left from Aieta's clone bombs, however before reaching it, he thrust his left foot into the ground hard, and scrapped it off to the side, launching him into a fierce single rotation of the body with the same rotational force as the double fang destroyer technique.
With a sharp tug on two more strings with the right hand at the start of the rotation, ALL of the needles embeded in his scarf were released like bullets, aimed to fire through the cloud in a scatter like array. Hopfully Aieta wouldn't have the time to evade them all, there was however still the explosion notes, one at the end of each needle that would all explode in a chain reaction as soon as the first needle hit something, be it wall, floor or Aieta. He had one last precaution though.
By the time the needle bullets had come out on Aieta's side of the smoke cloud, Kenki had formed another series of hand seals, and smirked as he landed on his side of the smoke cloud.
Suddenly, the hundreds of needles doubled, covering twice the area.

*She didnt flinch, merely nodded as he spoke*
Yes, I thought that was what you believed, expected it in fact. Relied on it... but that doesnt make it true.
You original three... Corbin IS the rank outsider, I know. And he is something other than what you are, something already different, already dead before I touched him. Unlike you.
*Moving closer to Azrael, she stopped a little way back and flicked her psent butt into the corner*
On that day... you opened your eyes, felt out your unfamilar, cold dead body, and then you looked at me. It is rare to see such hate in someone as young as you were. I knew then I could never hug you, never say sorry or try to explain. I knew I would have to wait. That Zach would have to fill the position I wanted to, but couldnt. I didnt blame you for that hate - never have, never will. You reacted as I did - you lashed out at those that hurt you, those that deserved it. Me... and your father.
Unlike Corbin, you are almost a spit and image of my younger self Azrael... and I have let you learn the same lessons as me, without interfering. That doesnt mean I havent always looked out for you and watched over you and worried about your safety.
Corbin was already all the terror I inflicted on you, and my hold on him, both as one of my weapons, and one of my family, is totally different to you. I named him heir because at present if anything happens to me, he had the understanding of me to be able to continue my work, should he agree that that was the right course.
It hasnt been until now, that you have shown your own capacity to begin on that road.
*She smiled a little, and brushed her hair back*
You are as much my son as Corbin is Azrael... but until now you have only ever hated me for that. Tonight is the first night you have even voiced the fact you notice the level of care I show you, or supposed lack thereof.
I commited a terrible sin against you, and you have known that for as long as I have. And tried to kill me for it. Had I ever tried to hug you, tell you that I didnt want you to do something because I thought you might get hurt... you'd have stabbed me before I finished my sentance. You've grown and changed alot... but you know that was a process I couldnt help you with. I found you against your will... and even now I do not know if you like or dislike what you have become.
*she shrugged*
Maybe you'll never manage to tolerate me... but I do mean it when I say I care. Im just not good at showing it, especially with you - Ive never known what to say. I am, after all, your murderer and the woman you want dead.
*She wryly gestured at her chest and the scar he had left her with. Then she reached out gently to touch Azrael's cheek, and teh scar over his eye, willing to stop if he went to knock her hand away or otherwise*
I tried to guide you in the only ways I could - by letting Zach teach you, and saying the things I knew would wind you up and make you walk te
he path I needed you to walk. All of you ARE a weapon, a force that hasnt been assembled haphazardly, but just as I manipuate all of you, I myself am manipulated... and because of that I need you all emotionally to stay human, and deal with the hand fate has dealt us. You are my family... all I have because I killed my human family. Even the innocents.
I know you heard everything I said to Corbin - the difference there is your father was like mine. A man deserving of death whose very act of bleeding beneath your talons would start a healing process you desperately needed. Corbin has something the pair of us never did - a noble and great father who does not deserve to die, or fight against his own blood. Much as I envy Corbin, I cannot let him lose that and lsoe himself just because I am jealous.
Does any of this make sense to you? Or am I still the devil you need slay? Im not asking you to like me, or even accept what I am saying to you as truth... but do not think I dont care, because you couldnt be farther from the truth.
.:Well, cant say I expected to hear you saying this :.
.: What's the worst that can happen? Maybe the truth will now lay some issues to rest.. or he'll try and kill me. Again. Maybe I should let him this time :.
.: Morbid much? I like my home thank you, no dying :.
.: They should make a TV show out of you lot. You're family issues beat the Simpsons hands down :.
.: IM not laughing. If you two have nothing useful to say, then butt out. At least Azrael is of the blood. He IS my family, not a parasite like you lot :.
.: Tell that to his blade if he doenst listen... :.

*Azrael closed his eyes and shook slightly as her hand caressed his face, and he felt warmth from her for the first time.*
I...I...I never knew...
*Azrael clenched his fists and got a hold of his raging soul energy, bringing it down to a mere aura he looked up at his sire still shaking, the words he spoke having been a long time coming*
I never hated you for what you made me, I have seen and done more than I could have ever dreamed about. I hated you because you made me like this and then never showed me the way. I know I didn't make it easy for you, but leaving my mentoring to Zach only served to reinforce my belief that you didn't care about me...
*He then smiled briefly and looking down he slowly shook his head*
And really, you should know me better that to think I wanted only to kill you, I wanted to Defeat you. How could I ever feel that sense of accomplishment if I were to strike when your guard was down...
*He looked back up at her, his body starting to stop from shaking, and his energy receeding*

*She chuckled*
Trust me Az, I knew... and counted... on your not trying to kill me when my guard was down - I understand your aim perfectly well. If it had not been the case, I would never have let you live in the same building as me.
*Gently, caringly, she wrapped her arms properly around Azrael and hugged him*
I was always watching you. Until Japan. Then all I could do was keep a very distant eye on you, but you'e strong enough not to need help anyway, so it was ok, and you have learnt to carve your own path. However... I cant say I would mind if you decided to come home for a while after the tournament is over. I would very much like to hear about your travels in full detail. How about it?

*Azrael placed his arms around his sires waist and buried his face in her shoulder. Tears of blood ran down his face and he smiled softly, his only words quiet and muffled*

*silently, she simply stroked Azrael's hair, an almost human smile crossing her face as she rested her chin on his head*
Welcome home Azrael.

OOC::
It only gets worse. xP
____________________________
Back down the hall, in the room Roan had left Corbin, certain transformations began to occur, as a brilliant baby blue light momentarily flooded from the room.
Only a minute later, once the light had faded, a small, barely 11 year old boy ran out of the room into the hall, right index finger stuck in his mouth as he looked up and down the hall, confused.
This violet haired youngster started to then pout, as tears started to well up in his eyes, and a sniffle was made. He then picked a direction, and started running, triping a couple times over the long left sleave of the shirt that was far too big for him.
Comeing to the room where both Az and Roan conversed, and oddly enough, embraced, te youngster scuffled over to the pair, and clung tightly to Roan's leg, tugging on her pants while looking up at her.
