It was not you typical Saturday afternoon. It had started off normal enough. Mitsukai had gone out for a walk that morning after some training. The girl was bored and had nothing else better to do that day so she thought a walk would do her good. So there she was on her little stroll minding her own business when suddenly the scent of smoke filled the air..... What the hell? Hey where is that smell coming from? Is there a fire going on? SWEET I WANT TO SEE THE FIRE! I don't know it could just be some hot dog stand nearby or.....wait a minute I thought you couldn't feel anything when I was in control?!?! I can sense what you sense to some degree or some bullshit like that.....Look that is not important go and see that damn fire! >< With that Mitsukai was off, following the scent of smoke and the small crowd gathering to a old building. The place looked rather old, probably vacant for a few years. At least that meant no one would be hurt. "Hey whats going on over there?" some random kid asked coming to stand next to her. "What does it look like idiot?" She snapped back. Seriously some people asked the dumbest questions. It was then that the girl heard a noise. A mewing sound just above the roar of fire. Her ears strained out to pin point the direction of the sound. Please don't tell me it is coming from inside that building....."Hey is there a cat in there?" Shit I was right.... Your not thinking about going in are you? Mitsukai took a quick look around, she could not see any fire truck or even a police car nearby. That was not good shouldn't someone be here by now to put the flames out. She glimpsed a woman not to far off. It looked like she was phoning emergency but it would take awhile for it to come. She had to do something. Hey I like a little chaos as much as the next person but lets not risk our lives here, let someone else deal with the problem.... No one is going to get here on time Nami. Besides I will be quick the flames are not too out of control yet, I might be able to make it out unharmed. Before Nami could protest further Mitsukai already rushed in completely ignoring the shots of protest from the gathering crowd. All her focus going directly into finding the feline in distress. She knew it was risky but she just could not just stand by and let the feline die, it was against her nature. Pulling the collar of her shirt over her nose and mouth to protect her lungs from the smoke. She ran from room to burning room, keeping an eye and ear out for the creature when she finally spotted it. The little guy was huddled in a corner shaking in fear. She ran over to it quickly and scooped it up in her arms. Good you got the animal now lets get the fuck out of here!*CRASH* She turned to find that the door frame to the entrance of the room had fallen into a burning pile, trapping her and the cat inside. FUCK!

*Thwack* *thwack* *Crunch* The sounds of the sandbag crackled and broke before a pair of fists before tumbling back over the chain, tiny noticeable indents tore through the flank of it after each punch. Three was all it took for the ground to become the next African desert. A fading smile as the sirens alerted Gabriel Seran. A sense of justice and valor arising within his loins, Gabriel sprinted up the stairs into his changing room as he revealed the tights he'd altered into.... SUPER G!!!Turning out of his arena he took off down the street to see the burning building, it looked to be a post store from the now burning signs but regardless Gabriel sprinted in. Over the roof in a single bound Gabriel towered the tall building till he'd reached a point of no return. Deciding against the elevator Gabriel took some time to hurdle up the stairs. Each room checked off save one. "Hey anybody in there?" He'd stammer thrusting a fist to the door only to have his hand singed by the heat. Damnit he wished he had those tights....

Shit, shit, shit , shit, shit!
Mitsukai's mind for a second ran through a panic. The situation was bad, very bad. She was now trapped inside a burning building with her charge with the only exit engulfed in flames. If she could not think of something fast in this state they'd both die.
I TOLD you to not go here you should have listened to me you damn fool!
Now is not the time to bitch about the past! she snapped at her alter ego. Stop whining and help me think of something fast or we will both be fucked.
We already are fucked....
NAMI!!!!!
OKAY OKAY I AM THINKING!!!!!
"Hey anybody in there?"
The sound of a familiar voice broke the two persona's train of thought. She knew it from somewhere but it was hard to tell who it was over the roar of fire. Smoke was beginning to fill the room, making the poor girl choke just as she opened her mouth to speak. Fuck that was bad.
"I 'm in here!" She nearly choked, clutching the cat close to her chest she started coughing uncontrollably. Hopefully who ever was just beyond the door would be able to free them. If not both Mitsukai and the cat would be in trouble.

Great people were still in here. A smooth snarl rang through him as he sought a way to get through. There was always pushing through full power but he didn't know if she was close enough or not to avoid damage. There were too many variables to consist, simply there was no other way.
"Back up as far as you can!"
With that Gabriel would push inward his shoulder trained low into the door reducing the thing to pieces as the flames engulfed him quickly singing the loose clothing he wore to the gym. Fuck was it hot in there.
"K'mon!" Gabriel would shout hardly recognizing her as he extended a helping hand for assistance to get out, he saw her there she could walk out on her own free will. No hero shenannigans here.
*Crash!*
The roof began to cave in around them sending particles of dust and pyre around there very feet. They needed to hurry their arses up.

"Back up as far as you can!"
She moved back obediently as the stranger came crashing through the door.
Holy shit-
Great the path is free now run for it!
neither personality noticed who it was that stormed through the flames made everything blurry and out of focus. The pair ran out of the room. The roof caving in from behind them. Man that was a close call.
Nice job Mitsukai you are SO smart to go running in this mess for a-
What part of shut up don't you understand! she snapped at her dark half. God only knew how long the alter was going to rub her fault of judgment in her face for this. A creaking sound could be heard from above. Shit the entire building was going to cave in on them in a matter of seconds now they HAD to get out of here and fast.
Instinctively Mitsukai grabbed a hold of Gabriel's hand, the cat still being held in her other arm securely. No way was she going to let the little thing fall out of her hands now after she risked her life to save it.
"Follow me!" She said quickly, dragging the man with her as she ran quickly through the same way she came in. Getting out just in time before the entire building crumbled. Becoming nothing more then a burning pile of rubble.
Fuck that was close! she thought in relief. They made it out alive. What more could a girl asked for from suck a fucked up situation?
"Thanks for saving me back there." she breathed, letting go of his hand (She had still been holding on to it at that point) and pulling the front of her shirt back from her face. Then she looked up to her savior's face and both her and her alter ego nearly flipped out.
Gabriel!?! The one person she had not wanted to see again was the one who helped her out? She stood frozen still her breath caught in her throat as her heart skipped a beat. The cat wriggling through her grip to escape into the streets. Fear and anger (Anger coming mostly from Nami) fighting for dominance of her mind. Damn this whole thing was just fucked up.

Gabriel felt nearly yanked from his feet as the girl took control of the scenario, from which he had no qualms whatsoever being towed about by the hand. Flying down flights of stairs Gabriel kept up till the remnants of the crumpling building smashed in around them sending the shattered smog cloud into the downtown air. Rampant coughing ensued along with the scattered crowds escaping.
"Thanks for saving me back there."
Gabriel coughed up nearly a lung, his eyes tearing up from the cloud as he tore free the makeshift mask from his face.
"No problem, I'd do it for...." He froze facing her slowly recognizing the woman's appearance from the day he trained her, from the day he towered over her threateningly beating her senseless.
"anyone.."
Funny how these things worked out. Gabriel's eyes narrowed cautiously. Quite honestly he didn't know what to think, Anger? no that was quelled long off, he'd gotten his vengeance in and justice was swift. Fear? for what, he knew the girl even her alter's monstrous activities. Surprise, that was it he'd even reveal a bit of such in his dust laden features observing her quickly.
"Mitsukai, how are you...?" He said a mix of jovial and cynicism behind his words.

"Mitsukai, how are you...?"
She couldn't move, she couldn't breath she couldn't even think clearly. For an instant she wished she had been back in the burning building. It for sure would have been a much more promising fate then what Gabriel might put her through a second time. Even her dark half fell silent, just to shocked to do anything. What the hell was she going to do now? She was not prepared for this moment at all.
Hey, hey Mitsukai pull yourself together! Nami hissed trying to break the girl out of her paralyzed state. Though Nami only had hatred in her heart for this man and wanted nothing more then to see him dead she knew at this moment she could never kill the man. He was too strong to take on now. It was better if she stayed out of this. But her light was terrified of him and she really could not blame her. What he did to her was horrible and it would not be surprising if she was scarred for life.
Still that was no good reason for the girl to be standing there by him without doing something. It might had been awhile since the attack but there was always the possibility that Gabriel would want to finish the job. If Mitsukai remained frozen like that then she was doomed....they were both doomed.
HEY I SAID FOCUS DAMN IT! Nami snapped, sending a quick jab of pain through Mitsukai's right eye to snap the girl back to her senses.
"I-I'm f-fine....." she said looking down at the ground rather then look at him. Clenching her fist up in a tight ball to stop herself from shaking. She might have recovered slightly from the shock thanks to Nami but Mitsukai still could not get her legs to move. She wanted to run but could not move at all. Nor could she try to mask her fear. She could only hope that Gabriel would not strike her down now as she stood there before him.

Fine? It sounded as though coming from petrified fear. She obviously suffered at his hands in the past but things all changed and pain was relative. If she'd been through the pain of "Scene" or even the self inflicted injuries Gabriel had caused she'd look back with a smile but he supposed he had to feel at least a partial bit guilty for what he'd done that day. He'd scarred her and chances are forgiveness could never be sought for such foul deeds. Trust was out of the question and Gabriel needed trust to coexist.
"I'm sorry," He spoke it rather quickly as to not get choked up over the whole thing though it probably sounded as if he didn't care. However it was the opposite, he cared too much. She was his pupil and he'd failed her.
"Is there anyway I can make it up to you?"

"I'm sorry," "Is there anyway I can make it up to you?"
Mitsukai looked up at him this timing in utter confusion. Did he just-
Don't be fooled this is some sort of trick. Nami hissed in her mind. Even the alter ego was confused. After all that he had done (and to the wrong person at that >.>) he had the nerve to apologize? Was he insane? And more importantly would Mitsukai be crazy enough to except that? She had after all tried to make things work with Kevala again and no matter what that bitch said Nami still saw her as a traitor. Though even if the girl wasn't she'd kill Kevala anyways <.<.
Hey are you even listening to me?! Mitsukai had gone silent. Her mind becoming too hard for Nami to read. That could not be good, how could the dark side be sure the other half was listening to her?
Mitsukai had temporarily blocked her connection with her other half. Knowing full well what was going on inside her head now was enough to make the other half go more insane then she already was. What Gabriel had said took her by complete surprise. She had expected to be hit, maybe even killed but not to have him asking for her forgiveness!
Should she forgive him? On one hand she had never been sure what kind of bond she had with the man in the first place. He had trained her for awhile yes but she did leave him after only a short period of time. At first she figured she did not mean to much to Gabriel. Certainly not as much as Kevala who had known him longer so why should she bother?
But it was not like Gabriel had no reason for doing what he did. He was only trying to get revenge on the one who hurt the person he was close to. She had been holding the one he was truly after back because Mitsukai did not want to risk Kevala getting hurt in the crossfire. As Kevala stated herself Gabriel's anger had gotten the best of him.
Even if did forgive him then what? It was not like Mitsukai could simply forget the matter. It would take sometime for things to finally settle between them. Even then things would never be the same.
In the end Mitsukai shook her head in response. "It's okay." she said finally. "I know you didn't really mean to hurt me but the one within me." There was nothing that anyone of them could do to make up for what happened but it was time to move on.

It didn't make things better and of course Gabriel would make himself out to be a martyr over it all essentially. But that was just who he was as a person, harboring those around him in a large circle and of course as the times change so did he in a means to adapt and grow. A small nod of recognition to her statement out of respect as he compiled a list of where to go from here because he could sense things weren't exactly alright with them as far as things went. He may have messed up and been forgiven but he needed to make a showing of it as such.
"I know you have other commitments but what would you say to a bit of training regardless? I don't mean to take you away from your current trainers just give you a bit of a two sided training run."
Gabriel shrugged with an attempt at a smile as he rolled a shoulder out of self consciousness and a way to give him something to do and not look like he was simply waiting there.
"What about it?" he'd say with a quick smile.

. . . . . . . .
No.......you can't be serious. Are you mad woman why did you just forgive him like that! You should rip out his fucking throat! Nami raged. It was madness that her light could actually forgive some bastard like that. Absolutely ridiculous!
With a sigh Mitsukai would block off her alter ego. She just did not want to deal with the massive headache that would soon follow if she let this continue.
"I know you have other commitments but what would you say to a bit of training regardless? I don't mean to take you away from your current trainers just give you a bit of a two sided training run." "What about it?"
She thought about his question for a minute. She knew Matrim would not care if she trained with another person besides him. Heck he probably wouldn't even noticed unless she told him about it. Though Matrim had laughed at Gabriel's training methods that never meant she was never allowed to go back with him if she wanted to. She could give him another shot. It would be a good way to try and fix the relationship....somehow >.>
"Sure when do you want to start?"

A small grin set on his face as he got a good reaction grateful it hadn't been a more out lashing response. As for the logistics on when they would pursue training efforts. He didn't have a set schedule nor did he have adequate people to keep things even he supposed he could throw himself into the mix as to give her a bit of a run for her money. Then again looking down at the heavy blade on his side he figured things could be fairly even for a time, at least till he got a bit more training in with his own blade.
"I suppose we could have a training bout now... Or would you prefer we take this elsewhere and get the soot out of our lungs?"
Gabriel didn't know exactly what he had in mind but he wanted something that'd be fairly taxing on the body to grow from. Though his methods were in fact odd they were those by which he himself learned. They couldn't be all that bad.

"I suppose we could have a training bout now... Or would you prefer we take this elsewhere and get the soot out of our lungs?"
She thought for a moment. It probably was not a good idea to start here. There were too many people in the way and the place WAS still smoking badly. Where would be a good place to start?
Well there was a park nearby, though there still would be people close by it was guaranteed to be less crowded than this place.
"How about we go to the park?" she suggested. It was not much but it was something.

Gabriel nodded and smiled softly not thinking too much on it, quite honestly he was unsure as to how much she'd grown. Then again that's what made it exciting, the unknown and fear of the potentiality of losing. It made the hairs at the end of his arm's stand up. Chilling and exciting in the same instance. And he couldn't use his Qi because it'd leave him sufficiently drained, this would surely be a good bout, at least in his mind.
"Okay then.."
Walking off a few meters away Gabriel kept quiet thinking out what he'd accomplish here. Of course it'd been quite awhile since he'd had any actual agenda, perhaps he surmised that there was no use in an agenda. He didn't want one any longer.
The park looked fairly clear for this afternoon as the crowds gathered away to watch the billowing fire in the distance it was left solely to them.
"Great, now lets see how you've grown." Gabriel smiled crouching as he brought up his hands in defense.

"Okay then.."
With that the pair left the burning rubble behind to a more suited location. The place was more vacant then she thought it would be, looked like most of the people went to see the fire. That was good, it meant there would be less people to get in their way.
"Great, now lets see how you've grown."
Without a second thought Mitsukai went off. Quickly closing the gap between them she would send a punch for Gabriel's face, then a kick to his chest to knock him back a bit. If that had worked then Mitsukai would try to tackle him to the ground. Sticking an elbow out to hit him in the gut in an attempt to knock the air out of him before he finally crashed to the ground. If she had successfully managed to get him on the floor she would waste no time in stomping him in his gut yet again.
If Mitsukai failed in bringing him to the ground she would instead send a kick for Gabriel's ribs and an uppercut to his stomach before sending another kick to his chest to force him back again.
