"So that's what you've been doing, hanging out with Axel?"
"I'm not hanging out with him,"
"So why bother to go see him for all this time?" Sinn gasps, "are you guys together?"
"Gross Sinn, you know how Axel is, I wouldn't around him if I didn't need to,"
"Then what reason do you have for being around him?"
"Same reason you have to pressing me for answers,"
"So Idiot Axel actually knows something, colour me surprised,"
"When does Kaname get back?"
"He most likely won't be back today, the kid is always going on about the next generation and bunch of other shit I never listen to,"
"Do you even know where he is right now?"
"Not a clue,"
"Ugh, I'm leaving,"
"Wait,"
"What is it?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Just what happened to the mother,"
"I'll tell you what Kaname thinks what happened to the mother,"
"Go on then,"
"He believes that when they visited the mother and went to work with her Ka-"
"Kami altered her mental state giving her a brain tumor," Kaname said coming up the stairs.
"A brain tumor?"
"Yes, she has a few of the symptoms such as memory loss, headaches, and weakness in the limbs. The doctor said she's getting worse rapidly, Kami did say that she'd die after sunset on the third day of Karma didn't give her the war,"
"So what're you planning now?" I asked Kaname.
"Nothing,"
"Nothing?!" Sinn and I asked in shock.
"What do you mean nothing? You've always got something planned," Sinn said in disbelief at the situation.
"There's nothing I could plan, Karma's in a lose/lose situation no matter what she chooses it'll be worse for anyone or everyone. Personally, I'd hate to say it but Karma should choose the war if we're looking at the bigger picture. Mother's death will affect her greatly but I know with time she'll be ok and it may even fuel the fire to find our sibling. Gem, she may hate me right know but relay this message to her,"
"I will,"
"Thanks Gem, I just hope one day she'll understand why I did it and if she wants to see mother tell her to come see me, I can take her there,"
"I'll let her know but I doubt she'd want to see you,"
"That's fair I'll just serve as the bridge between the two,"
"Really? After how she lashed out at you and yelled in your face? You'd still do that for her?" Sinn asked confused.
"It's the least I could do, I had a hand in treating her terribly when we were kids. I'm working towards my atonement." Kaname gave a small smile.
"Maybe you should tell your other sister to try that," Sinn said rolling his eyes.
"She's making the best of the situation she has now, don't hate her too much,"
"Who wouldn't hate the girl? Just the way she talks to people is terrible,"
"Sinn everyone has a reason for doing things, even thought we or they might not know why they do these things now, one day it'll all make sense to them and possibly us,"
"Yeah whatever,"
"Gem please ensure Karma gets me messages,"
"I'll make sure she does,"Gem said descending into a portal.
"It is so creepy when she does that," Sinn said holding his arms and shivering.
~Karma POV~
I idly sat at the table waiting for Gem to get back. I wondered if she found out anything like where my mother was or if she was getting any better. The suspense was killing me, I still couldn't believe my own sister would make me choose between our mother and a stupid conflict our father had started. I caught myself thinking about what I should do, there was definitely no way I could live without my mother but what good would that be if Kami had ruled over everything? She could easily take mother away and hurt her again. I let out a sigh and saw something rising up from the floor. I could see Gem's pale skin and lifeless expression. I jump up from my seat and stand in front of her.
"So? Find out anything about mom?" I say hoping she'll tell me what I want to hear. Hoping I'll get to see her somehow, someway.
"Kami gave your mother a brain tumor and she's been getting worse." Gem said with no expression.
"Wha-no there's no way. She can't do that, can she?" I said as I hung my head and tears formed in my eyes, blurring my vision.
"She can and did but-"
"But?" I said raising my head.
"But you can see her tomorrow,"
"I can?! Please tell me you aren't joking, this is for real right? How can I see her? Where is she? What should I wear to see her?" I said asking questions left and right in exciting knowing I'll get to see my mother again.
"There's a catch,"
"Of course, there is but I don't care what it is. I'll get to see mother again and that's the only thing that matters,"
"You have to see Kaname tomorrow if you wanna see her,"
"That's fine, I don't need to talk to him."
"You might though,"
"Gem please don't ruin the moment, I get to see her again. She means everything to me, I just wanna be by her side,"
"It's getting late you should sleep soon, you have a big day tomorrow,"
"Oh your right, good night Gem I'll see you in the morning,"
