A Kai Out of Ether; Akane seeks Bel

Akane's eyes rolled back and her lids slowly closed, feeling great satisfaction and relief as the music came to an end, her shoulders dropping and fingers loosening with a great outward breath through her nose. She breathed deeply through her mouth, exhaling again, and opened her eyes, much more calm but still obviously temperamental. "Yes, to both of your questions." she answered pointedly. "I am angry, and there is something wrong. Horribly, unbelievably wrong.

"That song is..."
Akane sucked her teeth, turning her head to one side in consideration, but turned back to Bel without having a satisfactory adjective. "I cannot conjure a single word to describe it, but all of the possibilities are very, very, very negative. I know that not all Earth music is like that, so I have to assume someone made it specifically to aggravate others."

She pointed ambiguously at the door, continuing with "I have spent over four of your planet's lunar cycles in a desert, I spent most of that time baking in the sun, exercising to exhaustion, and fighting for my life, but I would do it all again if it would spare humanity from ever hearing anything like that again." Akane's eyes were widening again, temper rising with every word. " It's almost as if it was designed to most aggravate the listener, catchy enough starting out, if a bit more banal than most of the music I've heard, but then... Some humans are cruel creatures, but whomever decided that chirping into a recording device and sending it out for the world to suffer through is a special breed. If you were to turn it back on, I just may tear my own ears off, find the person who did this, and shove them down that monster's throat!"

Akane was exaggerating to a very extreme level, and she knew it, but it felt good to scream about something that got on her nerves. All the blood had rushed back to her face reddening it considerably, and the apple kai straightened up to her not inconsiderable height, raising both of her hands, now figuratively claws, to the space between herself and Bel as she leaned in very closely, and finished with a whispered, furious "I do not ever want to know exactly what it is foxes say, and that is the truth."

Zephyra burst in laughter because of Akane's overreaction to the music. She despised it. The word despise did no justice to Akane's hatred in regard of the song. She described it as worse than a desert sun, more severe than fighting for her life, and that it was designed to aggravate others. The reborn kai wanted the truth, and she got it with style. The song had done its trick. It allowed the fellow kai to be herself and to not pretend to be someone she was not. Her personality was not one to be ashamed of, but celebrated. As the kai finished her relentless rant about the song, the golden banana's continued to laugh. She held her sides to control herself.

The Final Heaven master waved her arms to keep Akane calm.

"No, no, no, it is alright. There is no need to tear your ears off or to go to any extreme measures. I will not play that song again. It was made clear to me this moment how terrible your experience with it was," she commented as she smiled. Her expression softened. Once she calmed herself, she gazed at Akane with seriousness. "But it was necessary that I played it. It allowed you to be yourself rather than to hide or pretend to be someone you are not. If you hate my singing, then tell me the truth. The more you lie the easier it is to lose yourself. As terrible as that song may have been, it did the trick. You came alive," she pointed out. The reborn kai did not mean that Akane lied often, but her words of wisdom were what she believed in generally for anyone she came across.

"Tell me. What is the real reason the kai sent you here to train with me?" She asked because she recently met a second kai that was banished to Earth due to her practical jokes. If Akane came to an untraditional Kai, there had to be a reason deeper than simply wishing to learn or being requested to learn from.

Akane winced at the revelation that the Golden Banana had assaulted the Apple Kai's eardrums only as a test. Said test had set her off more than she could easily come back from, and Akane subconsciously knew she was in serious danger of her mouth making paypal transfer requests that her butt had insufficient funds to honor - albeit with a much more regal wording. She crossed her arms grumpily while Bel laughed, closing her eyes and turning away in quiet resentment towards the jovial reaction. Being herself is how she got on the bad side of every other master she'd had, the fact that Bel had actively coaxed what Akane considered her greatest drawback out of her was nothing to be pleased with.

Her face fell a bit in embarrassment when Bel questioned her about why she had sought her out, though. Akane held up her hands in a sort of "this is hard to explain" shrug, and turned back to Bel tentatively. "They didn't exactly send me to you. Didn't send me anywhere, honestly, and I never meant to imply that they did. You see, I left the Sacred World on my own. I wanted to wander the world of the living, learn from many species, grow as a person and a warrior so that, when I return, I'll be a real help in the fight against Demon Realm. And you..." Akane rubbed her hands together nervously. "They mentioned you more in a grudging, off-handed sort of way. I got the sense you don't have many fans back on the Sacred World. Still, they described you as a great warrior and an able master, so I put two and two together, and..."

Akane shrugged again, and dropped her arms to her sides. "And here I am."

The Golden Banana's smile returned when Akane folded her arms across her chest defiantly. The kai had a spunk to her that she predicted had been the cause for the fellow kai's coming to Earth. Though she explained that she left the sacred world on her own accord and to learn how to better herself versus the demons that threatened her world, the reborn kai did not buy that entirely. The demon portion she did believe in, but the fact that the apple kai had a spunky personality had to be another reason as to why she came to Earth.

The raven haired beauty decided not to pry and focus on telling her potential student a quick story. She wanted to respond to the lack of fans she had back on her world of heritage. It did not matter to her though mainly because she had not been to the world of the kai and if she had, she had no memories of having been there. She imagined, in her past life and with her free spirited attitude, she would not belong there which would make her a rebel. Mentally, she smiled and humored at the thought of being a rebel in the eyes a kai.

"Whether I do or do not have fans in this Sacred world of yours, does not matter to me as long as I get to be myself. I would rather be exiled than pretend to be someone I am not," she shrugged. "On Earth you have the freedom to be who you are. You do not need to hide or be ashamed. I sensed that you were holding back your real personality when I asked if you liked my terrible singing. It is sad really," her vibrant smile faded.

"I have another kai who recently came to me to seek my training too. She is from your world. They exiled her from the sacred world because she genuinely liked to have fun, and I guess they lack a sense of humor," she commented. "Her name is Arisu. Perhaps you heard of her," she wondered, but did not pursue the thought further.

"Her practical jokes have been delightful. Despite what the kai might think of her, she is a powerful kai. Smart, funny, but the best part about her is that she learned to use her exiled flaws to better herself. I am certain, in time, you will learn to grasp the true beauty of that fiery spirit of yours and with my training of course," she concluded wisely.

Akane smiled sadly at Bel's heartfelt assertions that everyone should be themselves, exactly as they chose to be, but the apple kai didn't share the enthusiasm for such a concept. She did not resent her temper because she had been conditioned to, but because it had interfered with becoming who she wanted to be, a stalwart soldier defending her home and her people from the damned forces below. Maybe she could learn to use it someday, but, throughout the whole of her life, the anger had held far too much sway for Akane's own tastes, and she refused to think of it as positive.

The apple kai listened attentively as Bel spoke of this jokester, Arisu. Akane knew the name, but she hadn't been exceptionally social during her early life, and made little effort to get to know any of the others of her generation. That she had been expelled for practical jokes was puzzling, which Akane voiced. "I do not know this Arisu, no, but she must have done something rather extreme to be exiled, or refused to believe that enough was enough. Many of our people have a good sense of humor, it would need to cross lines - many of them, multiple times - to become worthy of such a reprimand."

The end of Bel's statement clicked in the back of Akane's brain, and that realization slowly worked its way to the front of her mind. "Does... Does this mean you will take me on as one of your students, Mistress Zephyra?"

The raven haired beauty blushed when the apple kai mentioned that what Arisu had done must have been severe. It surprised the golden banana that the kai had a sense of humor. The reason for her believing that the kai had a strict society had been due to the fact that Arisu was expelled for a practical joke. The truth was that, despite its perverse nature, Arisu meant no harm to what she had done. The kai trusted Arisu and believed that to be the case. She never thought stealing one's underwear could warrant expulsion regardless of how odd it might have been.

"Perhaps you can ask her one day what she did. It will definitely surprise you. She is at the dojo sometimes to train and could be a great partner for you to work with," she told Akane. Her pink cheeks returned to their natural beige color. Upon calming her embarrassment about the Arisu ordeal, she focused on the newcomer's answer.

"I would be honored to have you as a student," she replied without hesitation. "I say this because I have learned a great deal from you today. A student that can teach is worth having," she expressed. "In time, I hope I can repay you for the knowledge you have given me. I want to provide you with the skills and discipline necessary to help you use your talents to their fullest extent," she stated her motives and once she laid it on the table for her fellow kai to see, she asked her an important question that would solidify the apple kai's spot in the Final Heaven dojo. "Do you accept to train under Bel Zephyra of Final Heaven?" She asked as an offer.

Akane felt an unexpected sense of pride at having made Bel blush. She really was lovely, and the rose in her cheeks only enhanced that. It was a strange feeling for the apple kai, but a very welcome one. It nearly made Akane blush as well, but the redness in her face hadn't faded, shielding the sudden flush of warmth in her cheeks. She wondered at what Arisu could have done, already conjuring great and terrible tall tales of a godly trickster, one who wrought great a terrible calamities on those who crossed her. It would be some time before she met the undies-swiping fellow kai, and she would obviously not live up to the villainous expectations set by Akane's subsconscious.

"Yes, seeing someone else from home would be very nice. Earth is pleasant, but very different from Kaishin." Akane listened respectfully as Bel explained her reasons for accepting the apple kai as a student, this time blushing much more obviously and looking at her feet, a little self-conscious but still smiling at the very complimentary description of their interaction. "You are too kind, thank you." She said at the end of it. Akane looked up when Bel got to the final question, and began her answer with a deep bow - one of respect, but not obedience, as Bel had requested. "It would be my honor, Master."

Once more, the reborn kai bowed her head to her newest student, but then as a sincere gesture she rest her hand on Akane's shoulder. "Thank you for choosing me as your master. As long as you are here and are my friend, I will do anything to help you achieve your goals," she said with honesty. The sincerity in her voice sounded motherly and perhaps it was due to the fact that the golden banana had a young daughter. Nevertheless, she saw her students like her friends and perhaps her children too because she had a duty to protect them as they grew in strength. They trusted her with their secrets and their lives, therefore, she had to do her best to provide them with the best chance at succeeding.

"I shall see you again soon," she grabbed a set of weights and gave them to Akane. "I will be here when you need to train with me. If you ever have any questions or doubts, I am here," she nodded and smiled sweetly. After she gave Akane a tool to help her succeed in her quest to becoming her best self, the reborn kai gave her one last glance. "I must go now, but you are welcome to stay here and train if you'd like," she expressed with sincerity.

Akane gratefully accepted the weights, hugging them to her chest despite many miscellaneous heavy objects pressing angrily into her chest and arms, beaming all the while. She made a mental note to get to know her master better, as it would be fruitless to train under someone she did not know and appreciate as a person. "Thank you, Master." She replied, almost lovingly. "I will return to the dojo soon, but I have grown used to doing many of my exercises outdoors, keeping time by the moon and the sun, and using the natural resources of Earth to improve myself. It may be a while before I am comfortable training indoors again, but not too long. I look forward to meeting your other students, and to seeing you again."

Akane bowed as well as she could with the heavy parcel, turned on her heel, and walked deliriously towards the dojo door. Just before she left, she turned around to wave at Bel and bow again, smiling like a fool. With that, Akane departed the dojo, just the first of many visits she would make to the Final Heaven sanctuary.
