Samuru flipped the knife end over end, thinking of the easier technique. One that he'd considered using for disguise purposes "Sobagai Deba Sentou. The art of the knife....a simple technique. Knife tossing." he caught the knife again and held it out to her by the hilt, his other sliding into his free hand. Once she took it, he stood in front of her and held the knife by the hilt "Watch." with ease, he tossed the knife up in a dangerous spiral. When it came down, he caught it with equal ease by the hilt "Simple enough but it can be used for your fans as well. We can use this trick to hide in plain sight if necessary, as performers." he motioned for her to try but added "Coat your blade with chakra so you don't cut your hand if you catch it by the blade accidentally."

Maylee listened to her brother as he explained. Watching him flipping the knife a few times. She walked up to him as he held the knife out to her. Maylee took hold of the hilt. She watched as he demonstrated the technique. She flipped the knife a few times before focusing on the blade.
Maylee tossed the knife a few times and concentrated on catching it. It dropped to the ground and she looked at her brother. "Don't." She told him before bending down and picked it up. [1 / 4]
She started against flipping it again. She focused her chakra into the tang of the knife and inhaled before tossing it higher into the sky. She waited as the knife fell; she yanked her hand back as the blade almost nailed her in the palm. [2 / 4]
"Seriously, not uses to the unbalanced metals of knives." She took up the knife and sighed. Maylee took a moment before pouring enough chakra into the knife and tossing it into the air in a dangerous spiral. When it came down, Maylee touched the end of the hilt before fumbling to catch it before it dropped to the dirt. [3 / 4]
Maylee put her foot under the blade and kicked it up. "Really hate this type of metal." She huffed as she caught it in midair. She sighed and started again. She put a little of her chakra into the blade and tossed it into the air in a dangerous spiral as Samuru had shown before. She inhaled and waited for the right moment into closing her fingers around the hilt. [4 / 4]
Maylee stared at the blade before looking at her brother. "What is next?" She asked with a slight smile and erg to learn more of the buki style.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Samuru merely watched as Maylee practiced, just frowning as she told him not to say anything. Like he was going to say anything anyway. He complaints about the metal annoyed him but he held his tongue for the moment, keeping his frown in place. Once she'd mastered it, he spoke up "You need to get used to normal metal. Relying totally on your blood will put you at a disadvantage." he switched his knife around and held close to the blade, keeping the knife inward "Jab. Its a dangerous technique if someone grabs your wrist and forces the knife back but if you get them from behind, its a good way to end a fight before it starts." to demonstrate, Samuru shifted suddenly, his feet taking him quickly inside her safe zone (within arm reach). His knife's hilt was under her chin "Strike at the soft of the temple, the base of the skull, throat or any joints. The safe attack is to wind them by striking the chest...but we don't strike to wind. We strike to wound." he stepped back and stood beside her, holding his arm out with his palm up so she could see how he held the knife. The blade started just under his wrist and the handle was long enough that it extended just over his fingertips. As Samuru closed his hand, his fingers wrapped around the handle and about an inch or more showed out "Strike fast." he stepped away again, putting distance between them as he let her try her way at it.

Maylee frowned at her brother but didn't look at him. "I am uses to normal metals. This particular metal bubbles when being forged. There are holes in the blade, which causes the metal to be off balance. The craftsmanship is poorly done." She looked at him. "This has nothing to do with blood." She remarked to him. She voice was level with him but she turned quiet when he spoke up again with a new technique. She flinched when he shifted suddenly and gasped, as Samuru held the hilt of his knife under her chin. A year apart had cause Maylee to lose faith in her brother, a little. She eased up a little and opened her eyes to Samuru as he spoke to her. Maylee exhaled softly as he stepped to the side of her. She studied how he held it and copied him in holding the blade. Her hands being smaller than his, left a great deal of hilt that extended over her fingertips. She followed suit and wrapped her fingers around the handle. She nodded when he told her what to do.
Maylee held the hilt firmly in her hand as she focused on the force she needed to put behind it. She thrust her arm forward once just to get the hang of what she was doing. "Okay, I think I've got it." She said as she retracted her arm and started again. One more for good measure. [1 / 2]
This time, Maylee channeled her chakra into her hand that held the knife. She then stab the air with the hilt of her blade. Her arm muscles flexed showing that she had put force into the jab. [2 / 2]
She looked at Samuru and smiled. "This is turning out to be fun." Maylee said with a smile to him. A smile that she hadn't expressed in a long time.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Samuru scowled at her, at first about the metal of the blade, but his face formed back into a studied frown. He watched her work out the kinks, figuring out how to strike at the best point of her release. As she turned to him, smiling, he managed a grimace of a smile before he turned and faced a tree a fair distance away "Swift Dart." he said simply, lifting his blade behind his ear as he pulled chakra into his arm. With a flick, he threw the knife, pushing chakra behind it that propelled it forward. The blade sunk half way up into the bark and he looked at her "Pool the chakra in your palm as you prep the knife. Release it at the same time, with a push, as you throw. It'll push the knife harder." he walked forward and retrieved his knife, disappearing it into his sleeve as he came back.

† Maylee Sanmiitai † |Youngest Sanmiitai Triplet| + Suchīru nobi Akira + "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
Maylee stared at her brother as he gave her a grimace sort of smile before her turned from her. ...He doesn't smile at me like he use too. I don't like the new Samuru... She thought as she turned and watched him. She watched her brother as he showed her how to perform the next technique to learn. Maylee watched carefully as he prepped his throw. Focusing chakra into his arm before setting the knife sailing through the air and straight into the bark of the tree. She listened closely as he explained the technique before retrieving his knife. Maylee gave a soft nod before turning to another section of trees. She knew it was going to take a few tries before perfecting the technique. She inhaled softly before raising the knife over her shoulder.
She exhaled softly as she focused her charka into her arm. It came heavy and caused a tingling sensation. Which threw her off. Maylee throw the blade but it didn't go far. She sighed and walked over to it and picked it up. [1 / 4]
...Take your mind off the feeling. Think of something to target... Maylee thought to herself as she went back to her starting point. She turned and raised the knife again. She focused on something else and inhaled slowly as she moving chakra to her arm. Exhaling as her equaled out the pressure of chakra to the knife. Maylee gritted her teeth behind her lips as she sent it soaring through the air. Instead of being drove into the middle of the tree. It sunk into the roots of the tree. Maylee frowned and walked over to it quickly, she yanked it out. [2 / 4]
Maylee went back to her starting point and bent her neck to the side. Causing it to pop and she rolled her shoulder. She raised the blade and focused on a thought of a different target. She sent the knife through the air again. Plunging the blade a third of the way to where she was aiming. Again she went to retrieve it. [3 / 4]
She kept her breathing calm as she started again. Channeling her chakra to her arm then hand, Maylee connected then to the knife. She took aim, she didn't exhale; a leaf fell, with incredible strength she threw her blade at the leaf with increased speed. The leaf fell in two and as for the knife, an inch of the silver metal was all the stuck out of the bark. [4 / 4]
Maylee said nothing to Samuru as she retracted her arm. She walked over to the knife and jiggled it free from the bark. The young Sanmaitii brushed her black sleeve over the blade, cleaning it, as she walked up to her brother. Offering his knife back to him. "Unless you have more to show me, nii-chan." She said as she mumbled the words.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Samuru nodded as May worked, his mind drifting to the last time they'd talked. Suddenly, she was speaking to him, offering his knife back...he accepted it slowly, his face going back into a frown. But now it was more....sadness then anger or dislike "...You...." he stopped and slid the knife back in its place, his hand hesitating on his wrist. Samuru looked up at Maylee for a second then held out his wrist, his eyes on hers. Along his wrist, running up and down his forearm, where slim, white lines. White scars. He held his arm for a while, making sure she saw them then slid his shirt sleeve back down to cover it "Not....not seeing you guys did this to me...." he mumbled, his ears going red with shame. He'd done this to himself at first, attempting to hide away from his siblings both physically and emotionally. But...."You're mad at me because of J-Jae right....?" he pulled his arm to him, feeling a deep welling of sadness at that. He knew May didn't like Jae but..."She saved me, May." he reached out and grabbed both sides of May's head and bonked his forehead to hers. Samuru was so much taller now that he had to bend to do it but it was just like when they were little and needed comforting. All the siblings had done this....that's just how they were "You're my favorite little sister, Maymay....please don't be mad at me anymore....please...."

† Maylee Sanmiitai † |Youngest Sanmiitai Triplet| + Suchīru nobi Akira + "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
Maylee looked up at him when he said 'you' to her. Her face was firm, trying not to show she was angry to him. She looked down at his wrist. thin scars running up and down his whole forearm. She slowly wrapped her hand around her black sleeve that covered her left arm. She gripped it tightly as she stared at the silvery lines. She looked at Samuru when he spoke again. Not seeing his siblings causing him to do do that. She watched as his ears turned red with shame. Her left arm ached as she stood quietly in front of him. There it was. SHE was being brought up. Maylee tightened her grip around her arm as the name burned her ears for a moment. Maylee turned her face away angry that he said Jae saved him. Her hair fell, hiding her face from him. His flinched slightly as his tough, the bottoms of his palms resting on her temples as he then caused their foreheads to bonk together. "You yelled...I wanted to help. But you..." Her bangs hid her eyes from him. Her nail were trying to cut through the fabric of her sleeve. Scars on her fingers where parent now. Bite marks from feeding her mother. "You let her get close...and...you just up left us." Her chin trembled as she fought back the tears. "YOU LEFT ME!" She screamed at him. Right then the tears fell. "I spent nights crying. Preying you'd come home to us. But you never did." She stepped back, out of his hold and yanked her sleeve up. Burn scars traced like sparks of firm of her arm. "The nightmares came back. And this is what helped take the pain away because YOU weren't around." She kept her arm exposed. "Rakuin doesn't know how to keep them away. Only you." She looked at him. "You chose to seek help from an outsider, Samuru. You always say 'Family comes first'. The day She came into the picture. You changed." Maylee's eyes where hard on his. "And I don't like him." A sob escaped her lips. "You left your family behind to go traipsing off with an outsider. You don't want me to be mad. Then don't leave again. Don't let HER get any closer to you." She paused and bit her tongue. "You're free to love whoever. But not me. I'm not allowed to seek love." Another sob passed her lips. "I told you that I loved you more than I should. And all you said was to keep it from Raku." More tears slipped down her cheeks. "You didn't even have the thought of letting me down. Instead you left." She took in a shaky breath. "I'm angry at you more because of that, Samuru. When you let Jae help you that day, when you let her get close. My anger just kept growing." Her sleeve fell down. "How can I not be mad at you, Samuru. You made so many promises. You left a important subject untouched. You left me when I still needed you." She clasped her hands over her eyes. "I still need you but can never have you as long as I am bond to the counsel and as long as Jae is around." She sobbed softly. "I need you, Samuru." She sobbed before crouching down and sobbing like she was five again.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Samuru let her rip away from him, his hands falling to his sides as he took everything she said. At the sight of her burns, he closed his eyes. He wanted to cover his ears, to push her words back down her throat and to strangle himself with his own, to crawl away. Why couldn't she understand?! The family, their lives, her feelings, all of it is what pushed him to Jae, to an outsider, in the first place! The only other person who had simply accepted him, how had held his hand when he cried from sheer loneliness...as she spoke of promises, Samuru's hands went to his ears, holding them as his eyes squeezed shut. She could have stabbed him and the pain would have been nothing compared to this. Why couldn't they communicate? As children, the triplets had been nearly telepathic, communicating with each other in their minds, their own language, motions, touch...everything had been shared. He pressed his hands harder to his ears as she broke down, crying, but his eyes were shut. Samuru saw nothing and heard nothing, not even aware when his own tears started to fall "..." what could he say? Anything that came out of his lips would just hurt May more. There was nothing he could say...he couldn't tell her he was already too close to Jae. That even now, he was smothered by thoughts he didn't want. That he couldn't....he couldn't....a slight gasp, a sob, broke out of his mouth and he opened his eyes, tears falling now. Her pain, his, all of it was roaring through his mind and Samuru felt like he was breaking into pieces again "Why...why do we do this to each other?" he fought to speak clearly but even his own words sounded convoluted to his ears. His hands pulled at his hair "Why do we break each other?" he whispered, his hands falling. He didn't move to comfort May, his mind telling him that she would break into little pieces if he touched her. Why weren't they normal? This wasn't normal! None of this was....it was all wrong..."What's wrong with us...." he whispered, lifting one hand to block his eyes, his wrist pressing into his eyes and soaking in tears.

† Maylee Sanmiitai † |Youngest Sanmiitai Triplet| + Suchīru nobi Akira + "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
Maylee sobbed into her hands and knees. She was broken because she was confused about her life. Torn between what she wanted and what the counsel ordered. She felt weak and fragile. She felt deep down that Samuru didn't want to touch her afraid that she might break into little pieces. "We're Sanmiitais..." She spoke clearly. "...there's nothing normal about us." Sobs passed her lips. "..." She pressed further into her legs. She looked up staring at the gap that was between the two as tears continued to claim her face. Past her fingers, images of the past came too. Their parents fighting muffled as if behind their door. Child Samuru and Rakuin had their arms wrapped around Maylee. ..."Come on Maymay...stop crying...It's gonna be alright, Maymay."... Samuru whispered to her as they huddled together tightly. She blinked and the memory vanished. Maylee covered her eyes again and sobbed. Not sure what more to say to him. She screamed at him and he blocked out her pleas. He never heard her say she needed him. "I need you, Muru-nii." She breathed against her hands.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Retribution...this is not my goal. No, I care not for soaking the world in violence. There has been enough of that.

Samuru heard her but had nothing to say, couldn't say anything. He was sure, somewhere, at some time, the entire Sanmiitai line was normal. But along the way, they'd changed, blurred and become distorted..."Maylee..." he dropped his hands and then knelt, hands remaining at his sides as he did, fingers brushing the dirt. He wasn't on the ground, his feet balanced as his knees bent "I can't....I can't be what you need..." he was doing this properly now, as he should have. But it drove a knife into his heart to say it. May was his sister...and that was all she could be. Would be. There was no room for her to be anything else "You're my little sister...that's all...I can only be your big brother. I have faults. I break promises. I'm not perfect..." his head drooped and he looked at his lap "I can only tell you I won't leave again. Its up to you to take it..." he turned, his body going sideways to her's and stood "We....have to go back now." his voice was empty, cold. Nothing in it but the words and they fell like stones. There was nothing left.

I seek only that which was taken from me...not for myself but to prevent it from being taken from others. No more broken families. I will keep the peace for the childhood that never was and the child that did not survive. I will not weep for the world that will not see. I will change it even if blood stains my hands.
† Maylee Sanmiitai † |Youngest Sanmiitai Triplet| + Suchīru nobi Akira + "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
Maylee sat quickly as her spoke. Her heart felt heavy for the moments he spoke. When he said they had to go back, she leaned forward and collided into him. Her arms wrapped around his torso as she buried her face into his shirt. Her raven black hair fell, caressing her black as she held onto her brother. "Muru-nii" She breathed into his chest as she held onto him. She took in his smell and warmth. She never wanted to leave the place she felt the most safe. "Related or not. Perfect or even messed up like we are. I'm still going to love you." Her hands gripped the back of his shirt. "You're my nii-chan. And nothing will change...that." Her words felt like stones. "You're always going to be my first love." She whispered. She moved her face to the side. She sniffled trying to cope with what she was saying. "I don't want...to lose you again." She closed her eyes. This was the first time that she ever held him in over a year. Maylee was going to bask in the moment. "Just don't leave like that again. You can always talk to me and Raku. We're family. We're siblings, we have each other's back." She looked up at him, her eyes faded into a little hue of red. "We're meant to protect each other." Maylee sighed and lowered her face into his chest again. "I love you, Muru-nii." She whispered. In her voice, Samuru could tell it wasn't the 'I love you' that meant more. It was the type of 'I love you' that one sibling would say to the other. But to Maylee, it slowly made a hole in her heart knowing she wouldn't have him the way Jae had him. "...I'm not letting go until you hug me and smile like you uses too." She warned him.
"Mess with my Onii-chans, and I will burn you alive."

Not having full balance or really any strength to fight her, Samuru fell back as May threw her arms around him. His hands came up to her shoulders, holding them lightly. He didn't know what to say. He could never return her feelings, not with his growing feelings for Jae, feelings he only just recognized for what they were. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms tighter around her, giving her a hug. He couldn't smile though....not like he used to. Samuru closed his eyes then pushed her up right, meeting her eyes "I love you too, little sister. But we really need to return now...I'm going to be in trouble for leaving the village." he slid out of her hold and took her hands, holding them both to pull her to her feet.

† Maylee Sanmiitai † |Youngest Sanmiitai Triplet| + Suchīru nobi Akira + "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
Maylee smiled at the touch of Samuru's hands against her shoulders. Even if it was a light hold. The silence was murder as she held him in her arms. Never waiting to forget the warmth, the beating of his heart, and the flow of his chakra. She didn't want to forget it. Though she would eventually tell her brother's she would be heading to Kiri once everything inch of their plans were put into action. Maylee had always wanted to go there. Her smile slowly faded until Samuru wrapped his arms around her. She felt safe, and untouchable in his arms. Even if she couldn't have Samuru more than a brother. Maylee sat on her knees as Samuru spoke to her. She tilted her head to the side, with a smile, when he told her that he loved her too. But soon digressed into explaining that they really needed to return to the village. Or he was going to be in trouble for leaving. Maylee wrapped her slim fingers around her brother's and hoisted herself off the ground. "Still breaking rules like we uses too, ne, Muru-nii." She giggled and took her hands out of Samuru's. She then grabbed the hem of his shirt and smiled softly at him. She settled her eyes on her fingers entwined with his shirt. ...Give me this, for now. I'm going to miss it when we leave...because...I won't be going with you... She thought before looking up at Samuru. "Can we go like this? Like we uses too?" She asked in a whispered. ...One more memory before you lose sight of me...

Turning just a bit to look at her with a slight smile, Samuru shrugged "Sure." he started walking, reaching back to grip her hand and make sure she kept hold as he moved faster "Let's hurry."
