Welcome to Gaia! ::

XXXXXX"So that fool of a man is dead now you say?" Zane laughed as he asked this. There was no doubt in his mind that his father was an evil son of a...not to mention an alchoholic who abandoned mother when she became pregnant of Axel. "How do I know that what you're saying is true?" Zane asked him...simply just to make sure.

Zane removed the hood of his robe, revealing his face as well. His eyes were his mother's, but his hair was his father's and he too had blue hair. "I guess I can see the family resemblance..." he chuckled as he stroked his chin. "Though I'm much better looking," he grinned as Kane's emotions began affecting Zane. He was now in a confident, sarcastic and almost playful mood. Not to mention, the happy and loving feelings he was getting from Outou, Zane believed the boy. "Well, I guess Axel will be surprised then...cause he's my brother as well," Zane informed Kane of yet another Hajime. "If you think you have what it takes to be a Mist shinobi, then by all means, I'm not going to stop you...thoug rest assured, you may regret it," he told him, refering to the fact that his training regime will make you puke out your insides

"I hope just the three of us..." he chuckled. "Axel is somewhere around the village. You'll recognize him by his flaming red hair. He is different from you and me simply because when he was little he was experimented on. His abilities and his power differs from mine, and probably yours greatly. I'm guessing you have the same elements as I do...water and wind, but that's just a guess. Anyways, welcome to the village, you'll do well here," Zane said as he looked to his side. "This is Outou, she is your superior and you are to follow any of her instructions and treat her with the same respect you would to a me. She is the one person in this village you do not wish to anger...if she says jump, don't ask how high, you simply jump," Zane instructed. "This is apparantly, my little brother," Zane told her. He knew how Outou got when she met new people, and the last thing he wanted was for her to hate his new brother, she was just starting to get used to Axel.

xxxxxxxxxxOutou's pink eyes narrowed, easily picking up the sarcasm but uncaring so long as he did not annoy her easily. "Ask." She stated, tilting her head to the side only slightly, the shred of her scarf sliding against the pale skin of her chest, revealing the gash in her chest, sown shut by black tendrils, sprouted from the second heart in her chest. Her left hand flexed breifly before resting once more, the presence of a stranger making her body ache for her summoning scroll and clan sword. She still had her fan, its edges holding sewn-in razors, resting on her hip, a long time ally.

xxxxxxxxxxOutou's eyes softened slightly, but only for the breifest of moments. "You will see." Was all she said before bowing her head slightly. "I'll prepare another cup of tea and something to eat." Outou excused herself back to the kitchen her hostess side coming out once more. Curtly, she turned on her heel and left the two boys behind, heading straight for the pot to warm it up on the stove while she began making a light snack.

((Haha, you're welcome! ^^ ))

Kane raised an eyebrow at his brother, before smirking and saying, "Well, I guess we have a family reunion on our hands..." Turning on his heel, Kane walked into the center of the dojo and pulled his scarf up once more to cover the bottom half of his face. "But tell me... brother... when do I get to begin my training?"

"My wrath is as terrible as the harshest winter storm, and my blade cuts deeper than the most intense chill. I am Kane Hajime, I am the Swordsman of Blizzards."
