A few weeks later, Akui opened his blood shot eyes in his own room while lying on bear rug and using another animal skin to cover himself from the waist down. He laid there staring up at the ceiling, wondering about things that were no longer in his head...

-Past-

When Kelton went to check if Akui was alright, the young boy surprised him with an outranked temper. Akui quickly stood up, breaking the bench in the process and causing such an uproar. The men who were with him did not see this coming and were surprised by the boy's strength and rage. Kelton knew Akui was drunk but he had no idea he was an angry drunk. "Akui, calm down son you are making a scene...ooof!!!" Kelton was hit with a back fist if Akui who being drunk didn't feel the pain of how hard he had hit Kelton. In fact, in his drunken stupor, he didn't really feel anything but anger and malice. The rest of the men tried to restrain him but Akui simply dodged and fought back. Actually it wasn't that simple, Akui's body movements were rather strange as one moment he looked as if he was going to throw a punch but instead missed and hit someone else. Another moment he looked like he was going to fall over but as Mizetto tried to come up from behind, he received a foot to the chin sending him flying backwards. Amidst all the chaos, Kelton was just getting up and rubbing his jaw when he noticed his comrades as well as other men in the village try to subdue Akui, and fail miserably as well. Kelton however couldn't smile at Akui's fighting spirit and hidden talent. "Seems I really hit the jackpot with this kid, who would have thought he was a Drunken Fist fighter?" Kelton would have then risen to his feet and look over into the direction that he felt some eyes looking back at him. Sagi was staring back at him with an angered look on his face. Kelton would only snicker then run to help out his men subdue Akui which took two hours for his alcohol level to come down...

-present-

Since then, Akui was under strict supervision to stay away from alcohol but also undergoing hard training in order to hone his skills. Kelton never told him why he needed to get stronger but from the way he smiled at him and looked the complete opposite at Sagi, Akui could only guess it had something to do with the fact that Kelton was trying to gain something from Sagi with Akui's help. The question was...what?

Aside from that, Akui's anger had grown even more over the past few weeks. One day he was concerned for kidime's safety as he could not see where she was due to the distance of her travels, the next, he couldn't remember a single good incident of what happened to him while he was living in konoha. In fact, his hatred for the place was unleashed without the love of kidime to tame it. Not a single memory of good times spent with her could be remembered but his hatred towards deaucalion, yahiko, keldran, even his uncle, grew exponentially. The only thing he had that belonged to kidime were the clothes she had made for him, which he simply thought he must have bought it out of some store, and her nodachi, given to Mamoru who was killed to keep his drugs a secret. Akui looked to his left seeing that said sword, and he reached for it then unsheathed the weapon to the middle of it. He inspected the craftsmenship, this was clearly something he couldn't afford and he remembered the crest from the tea house. Alas, the blade now belonged to him with no one to tell him otherwise. Still, he couldn't help but feel some sentimental value towards it but he couldn't remember why. Suddenly a knock was at the door and Akui responded promptly. "Yes come in." A young slender girl who looked to be just a bit older than Akui walked in with a freshly prepared breakfast. She would enter and kneel to place it on the ground next to Akui before standing up straight and responding to her. " Master Budo has called for you, eat quickly and meet him Northwest of the camp." She would then take her leave leaving Akui alone with his thoughts again. When he was dressed and leaving his hut, Kelton was outside leaning against it waiting for Akui to arrive. "Excited about training?" He asked as he walked to Akui to Budo's location. Akui shrugged his shoulders and said nothing until they reached where they were going. When he got there, Budo was training with a Ma jong wooden dummy. From the looks of it, the Dummies reaction to being hit was fast some Budo's hands seemed faster. The loud thumping of skin and bone slapping against oak was impressive as Budo's training, it seemed as if he was going to break his hand if he kept it up. Akui would then look to Kelton and responded to his question, "I will be excited once it is over." He would then walk towards the dummy and Budo. Budo however paid no attention to either one of them until he was finished with his training. After he was done, he would turn to Akui then point with an open palm to the dummy. "Ah you made it. Goood...if you please and we may begin training." Feeling confident, Akui would punch one arm away but the reaction of the dummy was perfect and slapped Akui across his face rather hard. Kelton was holding his sides laughing before he wiped a joyous tear. " Akui, you have to react faster than that." Budo remarked then instructed him to do it again. This time, knowing that if he hit the low left arm it would swing around right, he hit it then braced to block the incoming wooden arm. He stopped and was about to go again when Budo stopped him. "Widen your stance, and don't try to predict which side it will come from. Instead work on react to something swiftly. Now continue with a different limb. " Akui nodded his head in understanding then kicked at a Lower limb. It swung to the left catching him off guard but he still reacted enough to put his leg up to brace for impact. He kept up these antics for hours on end until his brow was soaked in sweat and his arms were sore and bruised. The sun had begun to set as well and Akui was clearly tired. "Good job, you will continue to do this everyday for a week while you attend your other studies. " Akui would look back at Budo and nod his head too tired to bother respond. He headed back towards his hut where an evening meal of fish and rice was there for him. Akui gratefully accepted the food and wolfed it down with such a ferocious manner. He then laid on the bear rug and pulled over an animal skin as his tired body relaxed and healed during his sleep.
