CHAPTER 6: TIES OF OUR PAST, BACKLASH

Don't you dare, warning signs emulated from the voice, aimed at the mysterious stranger, located from behind, she added, IF that sword moves any further you will die."

This is a family matter, he squeezed the grip of his blade," it doesn't concern you."

She appeared closer, as the slow winds left her hair bend, resonating with matured beauty of a soldier," The boy is one of my own, she said," stay behaved and no harm will come to you."

He simultaneously took a breather while his eyelids started to close of his sight, without wasting time his eyes opened once more," I will say this once, don't get in my way."

He strengthened his aura, noticed that she has closed the distance between them, it couldn't be help but to draw the sword,' that's enough."

He's instincts remained as sharp as ever, he performed a strange technique to cause confusion on his pattens, however he was already marked, every strike he placed was blocked, she used her armored wrists and lower body, however the moment became short lived," I warned you before."

She quickly dashed at his shoulder blade, then target the joint before he could react," I won't show you any mercy."

His arm was pulled on the opposite direction, then smashed against the ground, instantly paralyzed while his emotions reacted to the pain.

"I could have killed if I wanted to, don't mistake my kindness for weakness," she said, calmly."

How could she defeat him so easily, is she even human."

Rukia's sights were fixed on her, in response she turned her way towards Rukia, at that moment she wiped her teas and gave her a smile," Hey there beautiful, its finally nice to meet you."

Who are you, she asked nervously."

My name is Makia, she moved her finger on the sides of Rukia's face, I am Jin's mother."

She felt the smooth texture bend through her skin, she became more genuine to her," to be afraid, I won't hurt you."

How could she be so kind to me, I don't deserve it, my friend risked his life for me and I couldn't protect him.

Rukia," she held her head high, these no need to feel guilt, I promise you, he will be alright.

She carried Tobi on her back, right after reaching down her knees," Tobi gave you a second chance, if it wasn't for him, Tengen could have a killed you."

What about my brother," she asked, her emotions were covered with doubt. She added," what will happen to him."

Unexpectedly Rukia paced behind the Makia, her eyes opened wide," you should never let your guard down, especially against someone like me."

At a closer range an arrow travelled through an accurate speed," Tengen couldn't dodge it in time, however managed to spot at a close distance," you should have stayed has I told you to, she whispered"

While Tengen's focus shifted on the fired arrow, Makia pulled herself further away, alongside Tobi and Rukia.

Nevertheless, his goal still remained on his consciousness, left without any alternative, he used his palm to block the arrows momentum.

He will never stop, nothing has changed," Rukia was paralyzed by her brother's actions."

Tengen is still human, because of that we share similar weakness," Rukia said, He doesn't realize it yet, this fight is over."

Tengen observed the wound caused by the fired arrow, his vision blurred at every angle," how ironic, I failed my mission."

Slowly his knees touched the surface, his eyes trying to shut close, eventually he collapsed on a plane motion. Makia's men appeared in an open view, Unresponsive as he was, restrains were still taken as considerations

Your brother is not dead," she watched as Tengen was send off, if continues on this path, he will face judgement by the dynasty."

Rukia accepted the current state of the circumstances," I understand, she said slowly."

Makai replied with a gentle tone," its time to head home, my men will escort you, I can't join you, they require all the help that could get."

She reached deeper within her clothes, then took out an item located at her chest," here take it."

What is it," she asked."

It's a report document," she said, it won't change the conflicts that occurred today, but it will help, just give it to your parents."

"Hopefully they will understand."

Rukia paused for a few seconds," Mrs. Morimoto, I promise to be more careful."

Her palms began to shake, however wouldn't let it stand despite the conditions, be strong, you are part of a strong bloodline, be proud."

"Manage that and I will train you myself."

Rukia and Makia went their separate ways, even through she had to prepare herself to endure the coming consequences, ray of hope emulated within her.

The skies turned more darker, in the same way that the light reflect from the sun, as it slowly began to settle. Jin's home was less quiet than usual," how could I be so careless, It was too soon, he was not ready, she said, deeply within her inner thoughts."

"They have been through enough, I will find the person responsible for this, her fingers closed tightly on top of her thighs."

While they were treated beside each other, one after the other initially experienced short breathes, she immediately refreshed the cloth with water," I won't be leaving anytime soon, I will take care the both of you, even if I have to do it alone, it doesn't matter."

The cloth was placed on top of their foreheads, she settled and waited until their pain would subside," Just hang in there, its only a matter of time."

In just a few hours later, Tobis eyes regained a clear view, everything that he gazed on became less blurred. He took his time adjusting to the current state of mind, eventually twisted his direction at Jin," Jin are you awake?"

No response at the time," I can't sleep, it has always been a problem, I can't even shake this pain off," he said, oddly."

"But you have always known, since that day."

Tobi stared at the rooftop," It's true, I have known about it, but right after that day, I have felt your it."

"Since that day I couldn't sleep, images of your suffering repeatedly occurred for weeks, it wouldn't stop until I met her. Now it happened again, I couldn't save her, luckily your mom arrived in time."

"If the is a chance that a paradise exists beyond the wall's, I could take her there."

Jin also looked at the top, reflecting on Tobi's desire," it's sounds insane, but if the is a chance, I wouldn't mind tagging along."

"Properly take my mom there, she means the world to me."

Tobi felt his drive," I feel the same for Rukia."

Makia wavered on her words, nothing more to say, while lessoning on the other side of the household, A momentary relieve was not by her side, her bones fueled with pain, swollen skin appeared, she pleaded for them to stop."

"Next time you shame our family you will suffer for it, go clean yourself before I change my mind."

Her tears flooded from her eyes, only silents hid her scars."
