~ The little twerp, not taking Rai like his old man... You mean to say, he went missing when I showed up? That's interesting news...~
"Mm, you're right," Reeve muses. "Maybe I should leave you be." He crosses his arms, still acting stiff, but that's because he's trying to hide some vulnerability. A tiny, horrid voice in the back of his head suggests 'maybe Ishira is just good at her job.'

Iri blinks. That is interesting. Very strange, actually. And a little too coincidental.
"He had that voice talking to me, a woman's voice. Then he took off. Me and Jin followed him to the place in which you and Lina were fighting. That's when we lost him. Reeve, I think those people have your boy. It's just too much of a coincidence. They take you and hook you up to some machine. Dalcon shows up with your sword. Then he disappears in the same area that you show back up again. Something's f***ed up here."
She narrows her eyes and the Fury in her allows itself a growl.
"I'm headed back to Kaze now. I've got a technique I want to try out, and I'm hoping it will help me find Dalcon. If you want to help me out, then follow. But what I need is back at the dojo."
That said, Iri disappears and leaves the dojo in a rush of wind.

Ishiras head was still bowed but her eyes looked up to him through the black strands of her bangs. The red in them grew to a gentle dim shine, the light from her orbs making them all the more like jems. She shrugged, looking back down seconds later in almost a sad manner. She couldnt force him to stay, though she needed him to take the pendant, Iri wasnt around... So if needed shed force it on him and he would hate her. But as soon as she left, that wouldnt matter.

"Ishira...don't look at me like that." Reeve looks down at her, just as somber. "You're just toying with me, like that man you fought...but you're so damned good at it..." He sinks to his knees as well, glancing over at her.

Ishira scrunched her nose in clear disagreement.
"That was my darkness then... Its completely different and i am not screwing with you at all. If i was, things would be much more.. Interesting.. For both of us." She leaned back, looking up into the darkening sky. Had it really been that long? Well hell, that sucked.. It didnt look like they would be sparring again. "Reeve, have you ever felt so completely useless that you had no other way to go but down, into a hole so deep you cant see the bottom?" She figured changing the subject may be better for both of them. Shed let him in a little, regain trust that she felt she had broken.

"Yeah, I have." Reeve replies, "Then I woke up on the ground shortly after your sister shot me in the head three times."

Ishira looked back at him with a surprised look on her face. She held back a laugh.
"Hmm Yet another interesting way she introduced herself." She held out her arms, her attention directing itself to the pendant the hung from her wrist for a moment. "Mine was the distruction of a town... One i loved so deeply that i did a horrible thing to in the end..."

Even though the voice says she is playing him like a cheap fiddle, Reeve finds himself sliding closer to her. "For the record, I've known Lina a lot longer than that, but...I...know that feeling. The training sessions while I was in...in whoever's employ... I have my suspicions, but that's beside the point. I was turning whole villages to glass day after day. It's hell. I'm sorry it happened to you, for whatever reason."

"Just for the record, this isnt a joke to me... Im not playing with you, these are my truthful memories that hold importance to me... Dont play them off as a lie of any sort." As she broke down her walls she looked at him with a stern look in her eyes. She was telling the truth, he needed to believe it because she wasnt about to let some one make fun of it. "I hated myself for what i did to those people, to my family. I hated that they forgave me for it as well. I played into a trap and hurt them deeply. "

"Why?" Reeve ventures. "What would make you sell out your family?"
Reeve's stare matches hers, but he flinches at his own hypocrisy. True, she hadn't been encased in a steel death god, but this was getting a little eerie.

Ishira looked away, putting her chin on her knees and looking out into her memories. Her face contorted with disgust but she continued.
"I did it for them... Because i was told they would not be touched by the person... He used the fact i couldnt control my darkness, to hurt them.. Then, i couldnt control my bloodlust like i can now... Then i lost it, and took pleasure in hurting them, hearing them cry out in pain as i broke their bodies.." Her body shook and she balled her fist. It been so long since she had thought or even spoke of the incident. "Normally i wouldnt remember what i do when the Darkness takes.. But some how he made it so i could be conscious of what i was doing, but i couldnt control my body.."

He doesn't respond verbally. His hand reaches out and slides across her back, lightly curling his fingers around where her neck and shoulder met. It's a protective gesture, one he hadn't really thought about until he was doing it.

Ishiras face flushes lightly as she realizes that a few tears excaped her eyes. Before Reeve can notice, she looks away, using one hand to wipe the tears away. Reeves jester makes her flinch but she settles moments after his touch warms her. She bites her lip before glancing back at him.
"Sorry.. I didnt... " She tried to form the right words in her head, but couldnt find anything to say. Instead she found herself having a hard time keeping more tears from coming. No, she didnt want to be forgiven for that time... She wanted to train to keep herself from that point again.

He keeps his hand where it is, speaking quietly.
"The thing about this Academy is, it might as well be a prison. Each one of us has done something terrible at some point, and it eats at each one of us just like you. However, 'atonement is our calling'. All we can do is try to balance the scale by making up for our sins. And each of us tries. You're not alone, Ish. Not like you might think."

"I know im not alone, i see it.. I just try to concentrate on anything but it... But im a coward.. I came here to get away from the ones that forgave me... I ran..." Ishira looked at him and relax, laying her head on her knees, her eyes shutting. She was glad he was here, and his reactions told her that he wasnt questioning her motives. Or if he was, for some reason he didnt run from her, or confront her. Such an interesting person, it made her want to know more.
