Every time he saw these people, Kotaru wanted to shatter them.

Not their bones, but their minds. To see the Akari council writhe in pain and confusion, even if just for a moment, had become a sort of personal goal of his ever since they had started calling these meetings. The derghoshiin he obtained in his arena match was more trouble than it was worth, and he refused to do so much as manifest it, let alone learn how to properly use it. For the third time in as many weeks he stood before the elders of his clan, staring at the spaces between them rather than look any of them in the eye. Defiance was evident in both his expression and in the stiffness of his shoulders.

The meeting was going nowhere. Kotaru answered simply, either yes or no or curtly, and took great care to not say more than what was necessary. No, he hadn't been training his derghoshiin techniques. No, he wasn't interested in keeping an eye on upcoming Akari his age. Yes, no, perhaps in the future. Finally the council grew tired of him and dismissed him, and the jounin gave them only the slightest of bows before he turned to leave. He pushed open the meeting room's heavy doors, biting the inside of his cheek as he silently seethed.

"Teacher has said that I'm doing really well, big brother! That by the time I go the academy, I'll be way ahead of anyone else there!!" A bubbly and energetic young voice filled the hallways, echoing throughout the chambers. It's source was young girl, no older than 7.

"That's great Memi. One day you'll be the one taking care of me, right?" Vale said to his sister, who currently rode on his back. Memi was small child measuring at about 4'10". Many elders have noted of her being adorable and charming, to the point of some referring to her as 'Princess'. She inherited traits of her immediate family; two-toned hair and hetero-chromia irises, her particular colors being pinkish-blonde hair and sky-blue/rose-red irises.

Ever since her shiin had merged, Memi had been given special attention by the clan elders. After all, possessing the Astrashiin was an extreme rarity as well as responsibility, the inherent ability that the organ provided necessitating accelerated training and study in order to master. She'd been been subject to such sessions for the last two or so years, both from her parents, as well as private tutors.

It was no easy thing, but Vale provided her with support and encouragement throughout it. Recently, Memi had begun being before the Akari Elders for meetings of differing natures. Though Vale had never been privy to them, it wasn't hard to put together; she was nearing Academy age, and they wanted to gauge her progress in her early studies and training. Usually their parents would be the ones escorting her to the meeting, but this time, they were busy. That left the duty to him.

As they neared the chamber, Memi would leap off of Vale's back, and sprint for the door. "Memi wait!" He called out to her. The Elders will be so impressed by my progress, big brother! Especially with my shiin- oof!" She was cut off by her slamming into what seemed like a wall.... but in reality was a person. "I'm sorry, cousin!" Memi said, looking up at Kotaru with a apologetic face.

Upon hearing her voice, the Elders would beckon Memi inside, which she'd obey, leaving Kotaru in the hall by himself... for a moment. "Memi! I said stop running before you hit somebody-Oh." Vale came jogging around the corner, only to pause upon seeing Kotaru. "Kotaru-san."

Someone collided with him just as he turned the corner, a small child with two-toned hair and eyes. Kotaru's eyes coldly cut into her, but the girl seemed to take little notice and cheerily bounced away. She disappeared through the elders' chamber doors, and that fact alone would have been enough to pique his interest. Not many were granted formal audience with the elders, especially not very young children, unless they were - for lack of a better word - special. He only had a few moments to contemplate the fact when someone else came around the corner.

"Well, well," Kotaru said in his usual scathing tone, "we have got to stop meeting like this, Vale." It had been several days since the two boys last saw each other after a mission out in Rock Country. Kotaru had learned quite a bit about the genin on their mission, from the shiin he used to his tendency to overthink his actions. But this was something new, and it interested him much more than the younger shinobi's phasmashiin and tactics. "Haven't seen the kid around here before," he began, nodding his head toward the elders' chambers. "You don't see too many kids her age here so there must be something...interesting about her. Besides the fact that she sort of looks like you."

Kotaru tilted his head, staring at Vale to gauge his reaction. Akari tended to have a wide range of physical characteristics, but immediate families usually shared similar appearances. It wasn't difficult for Kotaru to put two and two together. "There's only a handful of reasons the council would be interested in her. So which one is it?"

The trip back from the mission wasn't anything of note. Kotaru and him didn't talk along the way, other than him making comments about Koishi, the babe boar he'd taken in after they had slain his mother and siblings. Having returned to the village, they'd simply parted ways and Vale went to submit his completion of the assignment. After that he'd mainly spend the next few days training and resting.

The relationship between the two was chilly at best, with Vale making it a point not to talk or even acknowledge him when possible, a harsher practice than what he usually did against his clan. "Oh, I've tried, Kotaru, I've tried" He said, with little humor.

Damn it. The one person he didn't want Memi to meet.... and she'd run right into him."Well, she is my sister. Our family have some unique traits, just like any close-blooded Akari." He simply said. Being Akari meant essentially equaled standing out, their physical traits being a literal embodiment of that.

"Why the Elders want to talk to her is between them and our family. It doesn't really concern you." He continued. His mask was cracked now whenever he spoke to Kotaru, Vale noting that there was no point in having a facade around him. They didn't like each other. It was fact.

"Oh, but that's where you're wrong." Kotaru leaned against the wall next to the chamber's doors. The wall and door were thick, so without jutsu he had no chance of hearing what was being said inside. But at that moment he was more interested in Vale rather than the girl. Something about the genin irritated him, and that was saying something considering how he felt about people in general. Vale had a carefully manufactured stoic persona that Kotaru viewed as disingenuous to a degree, and Kotaru found pleasure in trying to poke holes in it. He noticed it in small gestures at first, such as Vale clenching his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white. But over time, Kotaru noticed that the younger Akari let more and more of his disdain to shine through. The negativity fueled the jounin.

"The elders practically harass me about being more involved with the clan. It'd be rude of them to tell them to fuck off, no matter how much I'd like to. But I'm sure they can tell by now how uninterested I am in the clan's well-being and success." He paused as someone walked by, a guard by the look of it, and although the man shot Kotaru a brief, hungry look, the jounin didn't outright acknowledge him. Most of their clan looked at him like that now, and though it still made him uneasy, lately it just fueled his slow-boiling anger.

"But I dunno, Vale. If I told them I'd be interested in making her my protégé then I can almost guarantee you they'll tell me all about their little meetings. Or at least they'll tell me enough that I can figure it out on my own."

He focused his gaze to the floor, feigning being deep in thought. "She must have a veeerrry interesting shiin. Derghoshiin, maybe. They do love speaking with us derghoshiin users. Even the mouths of the elders water in front of rare shiin."

If Kotaru wasn't as strong as he was... no, if he wasn't as experienced as he was, no doubt he'd have been set up to be killed and his shiin mysteriously 'consumed' by some unfortunate accident. He had no loyalty to the clan, which really wasn't a problem for Vale; after all, he was more or less the same, despite not wanting to admit it. The problem, from Vale's perspective, was that Kotaru was too damn confrontational. Too confident in his abilities.

Vale noticed the look that the guard gave Kotaru, and he could almost feel a pang of sympathy... almost. "Believe me when I say no one wants another you walking around. And you don't have the ability to hide your disregard for the Elders or they're advice, so I don't know how you'd convince them you's seriously want someone to train." Kotaru line of questioning was beginning to irk him. He was obviously bluffing, trying to get him to let something slip on accident. He wouldn't play the game.

"Is that how they look at you?" He said flippantly. Must be uncomfortable in your meetings with them then. All those predatory stares. Waiting for the slip up. A lot of pressure."

He didn't take the bait. Kotaru was usually great at getting under people's skin, but Vale somehow managed to keep his composure no matter how much the jounin picked and prodded. He gave a small, almost inaudible sigh and rested his head against the wall. 'Another me, huh?' He rolled his eyes at that.

"You're wrong again," he mumbled, his voice so low that Vale would likely have trouble making out the words. "The clan breeds all kinds of monsters. They'd love another me, another Tatsuo. You don't know anything." The guard's footsteps finally faded completely, and only then did he bother to glance in that direction. For a moment he had softened, but at Vale's tone he stiffened again, and again took on the same hostile and baleful demeanor.

"Uncomfortable? Sure for them, maybe. They don't know what to do with me. I bet they're regretting pitting me against their dear Shiro. He was apparently a lot more...easily manipulated than me." His smirk dropped for a moment. Kotaru heard something from inside the chambers - laughter, maybe? - but the sound subsided so quickly that he wasn't entirely sure if he had heard correctly. "But you ask that like you think the answer's funny. If I'm right about your sister - and I know I am since you're avoiding answering - eventually she's gonna end up dealing with it too. Those 'predatory stares.' For her sake she needs someone to train her who knows what they're doing and doesn't actually want to eat her."

Vale didn't bother offering a response to Kotaru. It was him that didn't know anything. The Council would love another monster; someone with the talent and strength to that and he Tatsuo possessed. What they didn't want was someone with his personality, or Tats' to a degree; someone with no interest in maintaining clan duties or ties. Everyone wanted a dog. Docile. Trainable. Loyal. No one wanted a wolf. Independent. Stubborn. Merciless.

"You speak like everything you say is fact. That's a major flaw, over-estimating the influence you have." The irritation in Vale's voice was growing. He wasn't even supposed to still be here. Her meetings were usually a few hours. He began walking past Kotaru to towards the other hallway.""It's like no one raised you to have respect." He said as he passed by.

Vale wouldn't have gotten past him. With a flash of movement, Kotaru reached forward just after the words left Vale's mouth. 'It's like no one raised you to have respect.' The jounin grabbed Vale by the throat and swung him around to throw him into the chamber's doors. The doors wouldn't budge an inch. Kotaru wouldn't let up; as soon as Vale's back hit the door he grabbed the genin again and then slammed him into the adjacent wall.

"I raised myself," he growled through gritted teeth as he continued to hold Vale against the wall by the neck, "and the first thing I learned was not to piss off people stronger than me." He tightened his grip, though it was only for a second or two. When he finally let the boy go he immediately slammed his knee into the younger Akari's gut. Vale did what Kotaru couldn't: he successfully pushed the other's buttons. All of Kotaru's frustrations, negativity, and blossoming hatred for almost everyone around him surfaced for a moment, manifesting in the violent outburst. Even though it didn't last long, Vale made Kotaru lose control and his rage finally surfaced.

"I can show you just how much influence I can have over this fuckin' clan, Vale. Just say the word and I'll make sure you and the kid have a great time."

"Hhrggh!" He'd barely have time to gasp before he was slammed against the door, the sudden impact of the dense and heavy wood dazing him, and then again be thrown against a wall. Then came the blown to the his gut, which would leave him dry heaving.

"And look... how well... that went..." He managed to say in between gasps of breathe. Well, looks like someone had their buttons finally pressed. Even at the moment, Vale could find a slight satisfaction from Kotaru's outburst, knowing he'd finally pushed him for once. "Don't like.... playing your... own game, huh?" He said.

His eyes and would harden however, when Kotaru would mention Memi. "You ever so much as look at my sister the wrong way.... I'll tear your fucking heart out." The look Vale had in his eyes was one that seemed to speak for itself.This wasn't a hollow threat.

Before Kotaru or Vale could say anymore, the doors to the Council Chamber would open. "What is going on out here? There should be silence in these halls!" A member of the Akari Elders would emerge, followed by several others and Memi. All of them them would would look Kotaru, who stood over a kneeling Vale.

"Big brother!" Memi would yell, as she emerged from behind the elders to run to Vale's side. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" She attempted too help Vale up, which he accepted, though his glare didn't leave Kotaru. "I tripped. I'm fine, Memi." He said. The elders would look between the two, obviously noticing the tension.

"Your brother's a liar," he would say as his lips twisted into a smile that barely concealed his cruelty. "Memi, is it? Hi, Memi, I'm Kotaru. I'm one of your brother's jounin supervisors. I was teaching your brother his place, and mine." As he introduced himself he placed a hand on Memi's head, giving it a gentle pat. He could feel the tension in the hall skyrocket.

"Kotaru."

The jounin tilted his head slightly toward the voice, but kept his eyes on Vale and Memi. After all, he didn't have to turn around to see who was speaking to him; he knew that voice rather well, the slightly hoarse voice of an woman old enough to be his grandmother. "Yes?"

"Remove your hand from the girl."

That made Kotaru laugh. The sound cut through the hall, sharp and cold, and the elders stared at him with deep frowns on their faces. But Kotaru didn't take much notice of their disapproving expressions. To him, they looked nervous. By then he had reeled in his rage and was once again the insensitive, cold-hearted shinobi they all knew him to be. "Sure, sure. But I wouldn't hurt your precious princess. She must have a rare shiin like I thought, or else none of you would bother with her." He turned to Memi and leaned down to match her height and added, "Isn't that right, kid? Have they told you yet how important your shiin is to the clan yet? Have they told you what you have to do once you become a genin?"

Memi would slightly flinch at Kotaru's hand, shrinking slightly behind her brother. Vale, on the other hand, was practically seething. His fists were clenches into tight grips, and muscles would visibly tense and flex. Kotaru had gone beyond the line for Vale, something that was nearly impossible to do. By instinct he felt like summoning his shiin and impaling Kotaru right through the heart.... and considered the idea of doing so, right at that moment.

She would carry a frightened expression on her face, as Kotaru leaned down to speak to her. From behind Vale, she'd try to respond. "I-I.." "You don't have to say a word to him, Memi." Her brother would say, cutting her off, and stepping in to fully block her from Kotaru's view. "I already told you. Leave her alone." Vale said. "What kind of disgrace of an Akari are you?" He asked flippantly. By now he'd grown tired of Kotaru's attitude and lack of respect towards everyone. The Elders, other Akari.... he was somehow worse than all of them at once.

For the second time, Kotaru laughed. This time there was a touch of actual humor in his voice, but it did little to mask the boy's contempt. "Disgrace? Disgrace? You're fucking joking, right?" The Akari covered his mouth as he continued to laugh, and he took a small step toward Vale and his sister. The girl's fearful expression made him pause, but his pause was so brief that it likely went unnoticed by everyone in the hall.

"This is nothing! Akari kill each other for sport, Vale. They rip each other apart and devour each other's organs to be stronger. And one day whether you're ready or not, whether you like it or not, you'll be thrown in the arena, your sister will be thrown into the arena, and if either of you lose then these guys will do absolutely nothing to help you!" As he talked his voice raised until he was nearly screaming, his face starting to flush red. He turned to the elders and outstretched his arms to his sides and mockingly bowed.

"Is this a disgrace, granny? I'm acting exactly how you want Akari to act. We've been like this for generations right? You think I'm a disgrace, Vale? Ask granny how many brothers and sisters she's killed to get to where she is!"

"Enough!"

Before Kotaru could blink the old woman was in front of him, and in the span of a heartbeat his entire body was wrapped in her temershiin. Only his eyes and the top of his head were visible, and there was barely any room in her grip for him to struggle. "That's enough. Do you understand?" Her voice came in a dangerous hiss, ten times deadlier than anything Kotaru could muster. The eldest Akari's gaze then moved to Vale and she looked him over. Other than the huge temershiin that snaked from around her body, she looked exactly as she had when she walked out of the chambers, hands still folded in her oversized sleeves. "Are you both alright?"

Out of instinct, Vale would press Memi back, holding her back with his left hand, while with his right he prepared to release his phasmashiin. His shiin would burst from his elbow and cover his arm as he saw temarshiin emerge, and tensed, ready to protect his sister. He'd freeze, however when he saw that it wasn't Kotaru who had manifested it.

With Kotaru restricted, Vale would look to the elder, quickly withdrawing his phasmashiin."I apologize, Elder. I've disturbed you're meeting." He said quickly, bowing his head slightly. Despite his feeling on the most of the members of his clan, the Akari Elders were some of the few that Vale held genuine respect for, the others being his immediate family, and Tatsuo. Despite what Kotaru had said, he never noticed the predator's gaze directed towards Memi. Maybe they were old enough that they could keep it hidden...

Looking back at Memi, she'd nod towards both Vale and the Elder. "We're both fine, Elder. With the Council's permission, I'd like to take Memi back home." It was obvious she was shaken by the situation, and he knew that if he didn't take her now and calm her, she'd let their parents know. Vale's father was.... temperamental, when it came to his sister's safety. He didn't want any further problems.

"So polite," the elder woman said with a small smile to Vale. "You could learn a lot from this boy, Kotaru." At that the jounin thrashed violently in the woman's grip, but she didn't even seem to notice. Kotaru could barely move, and he realized when he started thrashing about that he could barely breathe. 'Stupid fucking granny...' The boy was still boiling, but now that he had been restrained the elders collectively returned their focus to Vale and Memi.

"Not yet," the old woman said to the genin. "We weren't quite done with Memi, and the council needs to continue on. Now that I things are under control I don't expect any more interruptions. But I do want to speak with this one," she said as she shook Kotaru within her temershiin almost playfully. Kotaru growled, but the sound was muffled to the point that it sounded like an irritated puppy; it was hardly threatening. But in his head he was cursing her, Vale, and all the other members of the council of elders. They truly made him sick.

"I'm sure your father will want to hear about this," the old woman said to both Vale and Memi. "He's usually the one with young Memi, so I imagine he'll want to know about all the ruckus that happens when he's not around. Someone should fetch him." The woman looked to her left toward a young man who had until then been silently standing behind the elders. Unlike the council members he was dressed rather plainly and in typical shinobi garb. With a slight nod he quickly hurried down the hall and out of sight.
