Her eyes never leaving Jae, Mrs. Sanmiitai was silent as the nurse smiled at Jae. The nurse was pleased that Samuru finally had a friend! It was more then the other two seemed to have and after giving Mrs. Sanmiitai's hand a pat, she left her with Jae. Slowly and with great will power, Mrs. Sanmiitai seemed to take a deep breath and her words started to make sense "...no son of mine....useless b*****d piece of s**t....bringing little whores in....should have drowned him...pathetic crap....no blood of mine....bringing bitches home..." "JAE! Don't get close to her!" Samuru's voice was tight and angry as he interrupted his mother's tangent, rushing to put himself between Jae and his mother. He had scars from the bites she'd given him when he'd tried to feed her and the nurses all had to sign a waver now when they arrived. He didn't want Jae to get bitten...but he wasn't counting on his mother's screams "b*****d! MURDERER!" This close to Samuru, Mrs. Sanmiitai became enraged, screaming at him as drool and blood from a bitten tongue splattered on his back. The nurse rushed in as Samuru pushed Jae back, keeping her from being spat on by his mother "Don't talk to her..." he said, keeping his voice down as the nurse tried to sooth his mother who had collapsed back in her chair, chest heaving as drool covered her chin "Come on..." he tried to get Jae to go back down the hall and out of the apartment "Please...let's go, ok?" the nurse had managed to sooth his mother but the hatred in her eyes was burning on both of them. It still hurt...but Samuru didn't show it, didn't let Jae see how much that hatred effected him.

Her initial shock was written on her face, her mouth popping open as her eyes remained widened. What....the hell?! All at once Jae snapped her jaw shut and clenched her fists tightly. It was not the name calling that upset her but her immediate slandering of he own flesh and blood. Taking a step towards the bed where the mother laid mouthing off she was blocked suddenly by a angry Samuru. "I didn't do anything, I swear." She said holding up her hands. The Kunoichi was known for aggravating the masses but this time she had been nothing but cordial. Looking past Samuru, toward the mother who was screaming "b*****d and Murder" Jae narrowed her gaze. Jesus Christ! If this was the environment that Samuru had been living in for so long she could understand why he choose to practically sleep on the streets. The woman was starting to resemble a rabid dog more and more and Jae was starting to appear more like a disgruntled cat more and more.

Even though she was practically being ushered back by Samuru Jae was not leaving without her two cents. "See you later SAMURU'S MOTHER! I'll drop by the visit as soon as I can! You can bet on that!" Almost. Jae had almost side stepped around Samuru to start another round with the woman but his small pleasing gesture struck home. "Gaaahhh. Fine." She gave in, heading for the hallway outside of his apartment. As soon as she was out the door she rounded on Samuru, standing to her full height and glaring up at him, hands on her hips. This was a gesture she did when she was relaxed and upset. "You said it was better. Things were not 'as bad as before' but that's not just 'bad' that's just plain insane! Why the hell have you never said anything about that!" Jae wasn't upset at Samuru in the slightest but she was frustrated to see the reasoning for why he was so....'blank' the first time she had met him. Jae dropped her hands to her side and then began pacing the short width of the hall. "Are you friggin kidding me? It was like she was waiting to pounce! She didn't friggin need to be physically able to throw knives, did you see those daggers she was sending everywhere?! HA!" Her nerves were rattled and when taken by surprise Jae tended to get more vocal about things. "I mean no offense Samuru but what the hell was your mother's deal? I mean murder? Seriously?!"

Tossing her hands up in the air she continued her pacing. She calmed herself down by taking a few deep breaths and fought the urge to rush back into the room. Once she was more under control she turned her glossy gaze onto Samuru. Oh...god. This explained more than anything ever would or had. "This is why you get that look on your face and why you hated hanging around my mom and me when we forced you to stick around at our place." Jae said aloud, suddenly feeling like a total jackass.

Knowing better then to interrupt when Jae started going on, Samuru set his bag on the floor, quietly listening as she worked her way through her rant. Then, seeing she was starting to go into self blame and disastrous thoughts, he reached out and grabbed both sides of her face gently. His hands had grown as he had and his palms stretched from the middle of her cheeks to her ears, fingers getting tangled in her hair "You and your mom gave me more then my real family ever has. And don't you ever doubt it." he said, his voice firm and soft as he forced her forehead to bump his before he released her to slide his hands into his pockets "...It is better because...I don't stay here often. I sleep at neighbor's houses..." he shook his head "And I knew you'd do what you're doing now. You'd get mad and ruffled like a cat and spit fury at her...but it won't do any good. Her deal is...she blames me for my father's death....I blame me...its the only thing we've ever agreed on." he linked his fingers together, listening to the quiet of the hall before he spoke "Blood is everything to her...and I don't have it. The bloodline, I mean...to her, that is what makes family. So....when I got tested and failed...I stopped existing to her. Then...my father..." he rubbed his face with one hand, running his fingers through his hair and totally destroying the neatness that had almost existed "Its not going to change anything...yelling or shouting at her...she just...doesn't care." Samuru reached out and poked Jae in the forehead, an extremely out of character gesture for him....but one that he'd only be comfortable doing with Jae "I like being with you and your mom, Jae...I even envy it a bit." he shrugged. And yet....despite his light words, everything hurt inside. He was used to be insulted and slurred at by his mother but this was the first time she'd screamed at him. Samuru didn't blame Jae for any of it...he just wished she'd gone on not knowing. He bent and picked his bag back up, holding it with two hands in front of his knees "..." he took a deep breath, waiting.

Pausing when he held her face in place she looked up at him, her blue eyes searching both of his, trying to 'see' past what he was telling her. He was being genuine but it still didn't pacify the unease. Bumping foreheads now she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, calming down. Samuru was the voice of reason and he was probably the only one capable of halting her mid rage. Her eyes narrowed at the mentioning of bloodlines. Stupid bloodlines. Why were they so god damn important to people! Her parents had suffered because of bloodlines and now another important person to her was suffering because of his own. A world without bloodlines, it would be such a different place. Once he poked her forehead she snapped out of her temporary daze, her thoughts halting immediately and her attention completely on him. He had father issues similar to her own. Go figure. Those wounds were much deeper. Especially if you felt you were the cause of a loved ones death. "There are a lot of things that you are Samuru but I will never say you are a murder." And this was the fierceness of her loyalty. And I know you care about your mother. Which was why this was not going to be the last visit she payed. Taking a deep breath as he picked up his bag and released it. By the time she was done she smacked either side of her cheeks sharply, causing them to turn a nice shade of pink. "Blaaaah. Let's go before I decide to put on boxing gloves. First one to the gates owes the other food!" She was going to meddle, but not now. Right now they both needed to be far away from Takumi and the problems that seemed to follow them around like shackles. Before she took off she made sure to give him a nice shove to throw him off balance. Jae never claimed to fight fairly.

Samuru cocked a smile at Jae as she said she'd never say he was a killer, hoping he could keep her from ever thinking the opposite of him. As she regained herself and slapped her cheeks, he just waited until she shoved him, knocking him into the wall "HEY!" he shouted with a grin but....before taking off after her, he walked back into the apartment. The nurse was still calming his mother but at the sight of Samuru she darted back into the kitchen. He approached his mother, coming to stand in front of her "..." his fingers rubbed the knife in his pocket, his eyes dark on his mother "I....don't want Jae to call me a killer. So....for now, I'll just remind you that you bore this b*****d murderer. So what does that make you?" she bared her teeth at him as he turned and left the apartment, grabbing his bag and following Jae's path.

Laying upon his futon, the middle child of the Sanmiitai wasn't quite aware of what was going on. The roar of their mother was quite apparent, beside the breathing of Tesubou laying beside him. It was obnoxious, but there was a level of regularity to the upstarts. On top of which, few could be certain of what set off their mother so violently, aside from the usual bit of nature. He rose to his feet, and stepped out in just a pair. of pants and a simple white shirt. Whoever else had been in the house had taken his brother and left, leaving Rakuin to look about.

"Master Rakuin! Your brother finally brought a friend home! Your mother was... excited? I think that's the best word to use."

To which she received a still half sleepy stare. Samuru had brought someone over? Had to have been someone else, but frankly at this point in the day... Rakuin didn't care that much. Their mother laid there, drooling as per usual, but then again the friend had just set her off so? He blinked absently, before turning and shutting the door to his room, to which the ram within began to bleat almost like an alarm.

"Yeah... It's time to wake up," the young man sighed, pulling on his usual coat, and grabbing his gear. He stepped out again, to see the nurse cleaning the woman's chin. He didn't pay her much mind, as he turned and headed out the door.

Despite her hatred and his reluctance, Samuru had returned to the shared apartment, slipping in silently. Seeing his mother was asleep, knocked out on pain killers and what not, he slid past her and to his room, unlocking it with a flick of one chakra coated finger. Stepping in, he closed the door part way and went to sit on the bed, looking around. Most of the room was covered in diagrams, maps, strings connecting minuscule points, the entire place an operations base....but it was also coated in dust. He hadn't set much more then a few feet in and out in the room since a year ago, sticking mostly to the streets, neighbors or Jae's home. Samuru worried now about what was in this room.....and everything that it had meant and could still mean....

Jae made it to her apartment, shaken but alright. Opening her door she slowly walked in. Her mother popped her head into the doorway, opening her mouth to chastise Jae's noisy entrance but stopped short upon noting her daughters lack of color. "What did you do!" Jae smirked and shook her head, a wave of dizziness un stabling her. Lucky for her, the old woman was still nimble and caught her, supporting her up. "You are never supposed to train alone! You know how this drains our kind!" Jae laughed aloud. "I never trained with someone so far and I've made it home every single time." Her mom grew silent for one second, then solemnly led her daughter further into the apartment. Sitting Jae down on a chair, Jae rested while her mother brought her a simple remedy to help ease the nauseousness. Practically shoving the warm drink in her hands Jae snapped her eyes open to stare at her mom with a questioning look. Was training alone really that bad? "Yes. You made it home, here, alone. Before." Jae immediately realized her mistake. "I didn't mean it that way mom. Im sorry." Her mom remained silent, looking off in another direction while Jae continued to feel like s**t. "I don't want to fight. I just wanted to come home and tell you I have a mission. I'll be gone for awhile again. If all goes well I will be back in a few days." Her mom snapped out of her mental reprieve and looked down at Jae. "Alone? Is it dangerous?" Jae shrugged her shoulders. "I'm supposed to go with Samuru, it shouldn't be difficult though. I might just handle it on my own if I cant find him." Jae said, taking a sip of the liquid and standing up. Jae handed her mother the mug and kissed her on the cheek before heading for the door. "Man the fort mom. I shouldn't be long."

As soon as she had arrived she was already gone.

Pausing before Samuru's doorway she hesitated to knock. Her last spat with Samuru's mother had ended terribly. You are not a coward. She chanted to herself, knocking three times on the door. Crossing her arms behind her backs she waited patiently. She would break the door down if she had to.

Jerking awake, Samuru's mother gave a nasty howl at the door, profanity spilling from her lips in a slur. Leaping to his feet, Samuru left his room, rushing down the hall and nearly crashing into the nurse on her way to soothe his mother. As soon as his mother caught sight of him, she exploded in her restraining chair, thrashing violently. Stunned at the sight, Samuru tripped and his face connected with the wall, tumbling him. The nurse shrieked and rushed to him, taking his arm to try and lift him, trying to help. The noise inside would sound like a bomb going off to Jae standing outside. Using the nurse to stand, Samuru held a hand to his nose as he felt blood hot on his upper lip "Get...the door. Go!" he snapped, pulling his arm free and going into the kitchen. The nurse hurried to the door and opened it, looking anxiously at Jae. This was a different nurse then the one Jae had met before, younger and more....jittery "Can I help you?"

Once the door had been opened, Jae was finally allowed to look into the room, minus being blocked by the young nurse standing at the doorway. Had Jae not understood what went on in Samurus household she might have been upset. A pretty young face like that in a boys home would raise a million red flags, had the person not been Samuru. The strange racket from prior returned her to attention. "Well you cant help me, other than stepping aside..." Jae easily brushed past the girl, giving her an incentive shove. Jae wasnt sure what order her gaze traveled first...to Samurus mother, strapped down and clearly aggitated or Samuru who was bleeding from the nose. Jae stopped dead in her tracks, clenching her fist. Was it wise to jump to conclusions? Probably not..but she couldn't help herself. Her sharp gaze flickered back over to his mother's feeble form and it narrowed slightly before Jae smirked. "Im seriously starting to doubt you are as out of comission as you give pretense to Mrs. Sanmiitai. Two for two where your son is harmed in some way." Jae understood just how malicious this person was but she also understood the intense amounts of pain this woman had gone through to put her in this position. Jaes mother could have easily ended up this way too, once upon a time. Samuru dealt with this because he loved his mom and Jae couldn't begrudge him for it...but she wasn't going to let the woman disrespect him or her at every turn she got. At least not without a quip here and there."Are you alright Samuru?" Jae asked, looking to him slowly. He was standing in the kitchen at the moment. She was tempted, oh so tempted to poking Samurus mother some more. It would only serve to stress everyone out though. Approaching him cautiously she coaxed an eyebrow.

There was racket within. Too much racket to be much of anything good, within the little apartment of broken lives. The young man peeled back the buttons of his coat, leaving the white and black stripes of his shirt beneath visible, leaning over to stroke Tetsu between the coiling horns of the ram. "Another bad day, it seems. I wonder who the fuss is over this time?" Rakuin asked the sheep, while he turned the knob, looking within. One of the other nurses was within, making her way down the hall toward the ruckus.

"Baaa!" Tetsu announcing their return to the apartment, as he pushed his way in and moved across the way into a corner he'd made his own since he had begun staying with them, curling up.

"Rest up, Tetsu, we'll be on our way to practice in a short while," informed of the decision, the ram simply blinked at his partner, while Rakuin set aside the spear and stepped his way down the hall passed the nurse. Pink hair, speaking to his mother, emphasizing Samuru's place in the family. It didn't matter though, for the presence of an outsider complicated things within the apartment. "Who's this, Samuru?" It was a derisive inquiry of his brother, not quite something he was used to performing within the walls of their current home. Appearances were everything here, as much as he loathed to do so. Gritting his teeth, he sat himself beside their mother's bed, forcing his finger's into her restrained hand, feeling her warmth, leaning in to murmur carefully into her ear. Words of peace, of his time spent with elders and trying to hatch deals in their name. It was his duty, passed on by their parents. Despite his resentment of his mother, she always seemed to take delight in her belief that one child could do as they were born to do.

Squeaking as she was brushed aside, the nurse didn't seem able to say anything as Jae moved into the apartment. If not for Rakuin's touch and words, their mother would have gone further postal but she quieted under her youngest son's care. Samuru, rinsing his face in the sink, merely grunted at Jae's inquiry "....fine. Ran into the wall." he replied, taking a napkin and holding it to his nose. Already swollen and starting to bruise, he looked like he'd hit it with a brick. Seeing his brother....Samuru didn't do what he'd done a year before. Before, silence and deference would have been his reaction, even in their home. His guilt had been so strong, that even here he'd been nearly empty. Now, however "And you care why, brother? Is this a sudden interest in your sibling's whereabouts?" came the cool, almost distant reply. Rakuin and he hadn't spoken but a few words in the last year, Samuru living as far and apart from his family. He took the napkin away, examined it then threw it away, walking over to Jae "Are we set to go?" Samuru asked, not giving his mother any attention now.

The appearance of the third Sanmiitai had Jae suddenly tense. While having already met the sister, Jae had yet to meet the younger brother and meeting him like this, in this sort of situation was a tad bit uncomfortable for Jae. Woah. Creepy. They really did look alike but Jae had hung around Samuru long enough to tell them apart. She was snapped out of her momentary daze by the Samuru mini mi asking Samuru who she was. Jae narrowed her eyes slightly, already getting irritated. Why not just ask me if you want to know so damn badly? Jae thought to herself. Opening her mouth to say so, she was stopped short by Samuru's curt response to his brother. The tense air made her feel like gagging. He was...angry? Watching Samuru approach her, 'Are we set to go?' Jae simply nodded, her eyes darting over to the brother for a fraction of a second before returning to Samuru's. "Yeah let's go." Jae said, her words softer than earlier. "Nice meeting you." Jae muttered, heading for the door. Normally she would have left some parting words for Mrs. Sanmiitai but reading the situation she knew this was not the time. "I will meet you at the gates." She said, looking over her shoulder at Samuru. Exiting his apartment she smiled briefly at the nurse, trying to be as cordial as possible.

The younger of the two looked up, when finally their mother had settled. It was hard to argue that it was love for his mother that drove him to calm her, any more than it was his duty as a son, or maybe it was the fact that peace and quiet were what he preferred while he was home? Samuru and he hadn't been able to communicate much over the last year, again.. due to familial duties. Whether or not Samuru was accepted into the house, unable to produce the black steel that Rakuin and Maylee could, there was a certain degree of pedigree involve even while they stayed within Konoha. "You shouldn't get attached to riffraff," he mentioned in an off handed tone, glancing at the retreating figure, he waved absently to the girl. "Yeah, a pleasure." It just didn't really reflect anything. A simple tone, which he often would use for business. Rakuin simply waited for the door to signal the girl's departure.

"Stockholm syndrome, Samuru? It might be taking longer than expected, but I thought we'd all agreed on one thing," the young man told his brother approaching near as passively as he could muster. The year's absence had made whatever bond they had shared before, even in private, cold and fragile. There had to be some way that he could get back their bond to normal.

Samuru bristled at Raki calling Jae riffraff, quickly covering it by running his hands through his hair. It made his hair a further mess, one of the things he shared with Raki "..." every muscle was tensed as he turned, his body stiff as the steel his siblings could summon. He put his hands on the kitchen counter, fingers flexing and tightening "I know what we agreed on." he growled out, the muscles in his back standing out under his t-shirt. Letting his breath out, his head fell down "...I'm not...." he went into a crouch, holding his head in his hands. Samuru didn't know how to act or do or even be anymore. After what had happened with Jae, after the exams, the last year...."That girl... she's changed the agreement, Raki. At least, my part in it..." he brought his hands up to cover his face, holding himself back. Even without being the heir, even with his mother and the clan, he was the big brother. He wasn't supposed to be weak! And yet...he was. Emotionally, he was so weak. Rakuin was so much stronger then him and he'd always been amazed that his little brother could be so strong "I'm questioning, Raki. I don't know if what we agreed on is even possible anymore." still facing the wall, Samuru brought his hands down to his mouth, staring pensively at it, like it would give him his answers.
