It was late afternoon. The sun was barely starting to set, though the clouds in the sky kept it well hidden from view. The cool wind whipped about as a light sigh would pass from Kevala's lips. She had been having such a tough time as of late. Things were so confusing to her and she really did not like the way her life was headed. The only good thing in it right now was Spike. And as it was, she rarely got to see him. Just...gah!!!
Shaking her head, her brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, she would softly bite upon her lower lip. She was making her way home from her studio, deciding to take the much deserted back streets.
Why? Cause she just felt like walking and wanted to do so away from people. Is that wrong? Huh?
Well yeah it probably was. But oh well. Not like anything worse could happen to her than had already occurred right? Pft! She doubted it.
Growling as she thought over all the things going on in her mind she would stuff her hands into the pockets of her hoodie she wore. A pair of jeans adorning her lower half. Sneakers hitting the sidewalk as she moved. She would be home in about half an hour. For now she had all the time in the world to go over what all she wished to do next. Where she would turn and how she would straighten out the mess that was her life.

"You know you shouldn't go looking for trouble..." Gabriel said in a dark voice emerging from the narrow alleyway.
His figure seemed to be draped in darkness as his black pea-coat concealed his frame. Normally a smile would be shown on his face but he didn't exactly have the most optimistic sense on where tonight was going.
"You really should avoid this part of town..." Gabriel's voice picked up a bit more violence resonating in it. He was angry now that Kevala didn't have a better sense of judgment and rather than play things smart she went off into the darkest part of Long Beach, It was as though she was looking for something more.

Well look who it was. Heh. Gabriel. Oh wait. Or was it Sky? Hell if she fucking knew. She was so.....tired of not knowing of not understanding what the hell was going on with him. Sure, she had said things that would scare off most men. But he was not most men. Or at least that is what she had thought.
"Since when do you care Sky? I am not one of your little pawns anymore. You are rid of the burden."
She growled softly and would move to walk past him. A soft little mumble being given as she stuffed her hands further into her pockets and let her eyes turn away from him slightly. It hurt her to be mean to him like that. But it was true. He did not have to pretend to care about what she did anymore. She got hurt then...fine.....not like it affected him at all.

A tremor in his throat erupted as he snarled. Her response had sickened him quite efficiently, because she wasn't a pawn. He'd left that life behind with his death. He was changing and hopefully for the better, Gabriel's days of destruction and chaos would end where they had back at Ground Zero. For now however he'd build upon himself and those around him, extend his circle and be the best he could be. But now he was furious.
A hand latched out to strangle her wrist pinning it to the wall forcefully. His right hand coming up at her waist pushing her against the wall roughly.
"You are not a pawn, you never were understand me."

She felt his hand come out, pinning her wrist to the wall and causing a sharp pain to shoot up her arm. Once more growling softly as she then felt his hand on her waist, forcing her against the wall and pinning her there.
Her crimson eyes coming up to meet his own as he spoke.
"Do not lie to me! I deserve better than that! After the way I believed in you. Trusted you!
Not once did you show I was anything else! Not one time!"
With that she would use her free hand to punch him in the stomach, if she could, and try and get away. She was not sure it would work and she knew him well enough to know it probably would not. But she could not stand to listen to any more lies. It hurt too badly.

He was shocked by the force of the words more so than the force of the blow but regardless he fell back in surprise grunting slowly to regain his own train of thought. Eyes narrowing on his target, he was enraged at this point, shock and surprise filled his mind endlessly and he wanted it all to end. Like the brute he was he would solve this through fighting. Fighting was all that he knew, to get stronger and achieve that which others fell short of.
"Why don't you point those words at your new master!" Gabriel felt himself snarling out in rage feeling guilty afterwards as he shook his head and stepped in throwing a punch to her gut.
(ooc: Fighting with base stats: Str: 90 Dex: 90 Con: 90 Int: 90 Wis: 90 Cha: 90) "If thats what you believe now then you've always been weaker than I'd imagined..."
He would grab hold of her shoulders and drive his kneecap into her once swiftly, his face next to hers. "I'm sorry..." A slip of his hand in the coat pocket stealthily before receding.

Well she really did see it coming. But not the way one usually saw a hit coming. No, she had known she had pushed him. She could feel it, feel his rage and downright hurt at her words. But she did not care. She was tired of hurting and everyone else getting along just fine. Nobody feeling half of what she felt most of the time.
That fist connecting with her gut and knocking the wind out of her, causing her to couch and bend slightly just as he grabbed her shoulders. She then at least had the frame of mind to move her leg to block the knee that soon followed. Having it hit against her own knee and thigh instead of its intended spot.
Then came his words and she did not know if she should be mad or not. She was so.......hurt.....
She straightened up now, her leg coming up to kick him in the gut and hopefully force him back from her, her left arm then jabbing out toward his face.
"Why are you sorry? I was the one stupid enough to care for you!"
Tears stung her eyes, but she drew in a deep breath. Not about to show that kind of weakness. Not about to let them fall down her face.

Gabriel fell back suddenly from the sudden kick, his mind somewhere else completely as for his actions unrestrained by subtle human thought. His face squinted trying to resist unnecessary bloodshed as his thoughts averted to something more worthwhile, the prospect of saving her. But it'd been too late, consequences he'd pressed her into forced her towards this decision.
"Theres nothing that could have been done, I was too weak to care for anyone else in my life." Gabriel shot back with fire.
Everyone he'd cared for ended up dying in the wings. Olivia had died because he was too weak, Reira had died once as well. His family died to the pyres because he couldn't stand to defend them. He couldn't even stand up to save the school as they crumpled beneath his legacy.

His words hit, they registered, and the made her even more pissed off than she already was. Her fist coming out again to strike at his jaw and then the other following to aim at his stomach.
"Gods when did you get so stupid! I never thought you were weak! I would have done anything for you! Despite you caring only for yourself. All I wanted was for you to see that I...I..."
She shook her head. No, he was not weak. He was stronger than most people she had met in her life. Hell, he was stronger than Katsu. The man who hid behind his size and then ran at the first sign of responsibility.
Her leg coming up to kick him in the ribs now.
"I believed in you when nobody else would! I stood by you! But it just was not enough!"
Her crimson eyes flashing as her anger at herself flared. Gods why could she not have done more? Why did she have to be so weak as to walk away from him?

The sudden thud at his ribs echoed all the way up to his brain as the words hit as well. Harsh times, they were so very true but he couldn't let those hurt him here. Ages he'd lived and he'd earned his share of scars, he would not make the same mistake her as he did with Olivia. He would not make the same mistake as he had with Reira, nor Alexis. He'd grown far faster now to realize the error of his ways. Strength was the power of the heart.
"And now what do you stand for?"
Gabriel grasped around her leg hitting his side as he'd lift her up and throw her roughly against the wall with a sudden malice.
"Or are you standing, it looks simply as though you're running away."

She heard his first question but before she could answer she was picked up and thrown into the wall. A little growl escaping as she landed upon the ground rather harshly. Though she did not stay there for long. Her hands pushing against the pavement, she would push herself into a kneeling position before she spoke.
"I am standing for myself! Like you taught me!"
Her body shifting and her leg coming up in and attempt to kick him in the stomach. Before she would force herself to rise. Again facing him with those crimson eyes and settling back upon her feet.
"What would you have me do? Stand by and let you continue to just......ignore me? See me as nothing? You tell me Gabriel! Cause I really want to know!"
She knew that there were no others around to hear her use his name. Only his rage and her anger and pain could be felt coursing through her. Those eyes shimmering with the tears they refused to cry.

Gabriel stepped back avoiding her kick narrowly. His crimson gaze shot at her own firing like lasers as they sought past that thick skull of hers. He found himself standing there defiantly without an answer for once. He couldn't deliberate without much thought while he was often the best speaker here, he could not come to terms with such a conclusion.
"I did notice you," He said blankly fists balled at his sides.
The thoughts of years ago when he felt fear, conflict turmoil everything bottled down inside of him.
"Yet you fight for someone else's cause and I cannot stand by and watch you destroy other's lives..."
Gabriel took two steps forward threateningly before throwing a right fist at her face coming up with a left jab at her ribs.

She would feel that blow to her face, then the one to her ribs. Her mind distracted for a moment by his words.
Was he still lying to her? Was he still trying to convince her of something even if she was nothing to him anymore?
It was not.......Gabriel....He would not waste time with such a thing. Especially over some one such as herself.
But then those blows came and she felt the cut her teeth made in her cheek. The blood filling her mouth as she growled softly. The hit to her ribs only causing more pain to shoot through her.
She would look up at him, his body so close to her own. A single tear sliding down from the corner of her as she trembled softly.
This time it was her turn to be speechless. She did not know what to say. Did not know how to react to him. A brief pause in her movements. The only sound her breathing and his own as she looked at him. Unsure what to say or even do.....
So...she let her fist come out striking at his stomach and then at his face.
"Gods! Why the fuck do you have to be so damn stubborn!? Who is to say it will ruin others lives? How do you know?"
She asked this, though she really did not know if she expected an answer. She was so confused over this whole thing.

Gabriel stopped, his breathing growing heavy now as he waited for Kev to strike back with venomous words. is glare softening for a second upholding the slow falling tear cascade down her face. He flinched back as the fist flew. His grip jostling around her palm stepping back as her fist hit his face. A low grunt as he thrust his weight back pulling Kev along with him until he turned pinning her face down at the ground to give her little speech. Gabriel knotted that one hand behind her back roughly waiting on what he had prepared.
"Kevala, I know because the man behind it was not to unlike myself at one time, I know because I was once that way... And every man is weak."
Gabriel's voice was venomous as he accused even himself at this moment. Truth was however in his words as it always had, Gabriel always spoke a portion of truth.

Okay so now she was pinned to the ground. His weight atop her as she spoke. Then he would answer. Those words causing her cease in her movements as she laid there. No longer struggling to get away from him as she had been.
Why?
Cause she heard the truth of his words. Felt it coming from him and she honestly did not know what to say or to do. It took her a moment to think this all over.
"Then why did you say nothing? Why did you just turn around and walk away? You know you could have stopped me! You know I would have done anything for you despite myself?"
She growled, wanting to know this. Wanting to know why he had just turned around and left her to do this if he thought it so wrong.
To hell with doing what she wanted and being her own person. No, this was something else and she wanted to know what the fuck it was.
