The Return of Temporary Peace *Heroes*

[Andy Jammer]

"Achieve WHAT?!" Andy shouted, this was now turning into a shouting match between the two of them. He was too angry to care what Jasmine or Profeta heard. "What did you help me achieve exactly?! I can't even beat Lilith! I can't win any fight with any Sumata I get into! The Mask is a hella lot more helpful than you could be! All you do is hold me back, saying what I learn isn't enough no matter how many times I do! And what makes you think you have a say in my choices, it's MY life and I can-"

BAM!

[Kevin Uruhane]

'Bam' went Kevin's fist as it connected with Andy's cheek, hoping it put some damage on that flaring face of anger. Kevin's eyes burning red, yet water seemed to leak out from the shadows made by his hat.

"You BASTARD!" He shouted, Kevin's anger in full force. "How dare you! How dare you say those things! I held you back to keep you ALIVE! And here you tell me you want to throw your life away!? After everything I did to make you strong you spit on it and on me!? WELL FINE!"

He roared, waving his hand as if to cut through the air. He spoke slowly, deliberately, letting his anger bleed into his words. "Fine... it's your life as you said. If this is what you choose then you get the hell out of my sight."

[Andy Jammer]

"K-Kevin...?" Andy spoke weakly, his body in shock from not the hit but the anger. The raw anger and sadness that pulsed from the normally cheery person.

[Kevin Uruhane]

"QUIET!" Kevin cut him off, his finger pointing down the mountain path. "You are no longer welcome here. If Profeta needs you then I cannot stop her, but beyond that you don't take a STEP on this mountain. You don't show your face to me anymore, you don't come to me expecting favors or for someone to save you. Since you want to burn your bridges so badly then congratulations, you succeeded."

He paused briefly before saying, "Ms. Louqe, you are always welcome to the Cave. But you..." he glared at Andy. "Leave. Now. Before I make you leave in pieces."

[Andy Jammer]

"Fine by me!" Andy yelled, feeling hurt and angry from Kevin's ban. Turning around and running down the mountain, not caring about the fact he could trip and fall, or by caring what Jasmine will say to him after...or of the tears in his eyes.

[Kevin Uruhane]

Kevin watched him go, he watched him run away down the mountain. Trying to fight the quivering feeling in his body, or the memories of his home in Unda...when his father yelled the exact same words to him when Kevin wanted to leave. He pushed the hat farther down his face to hide his expression.

So...I became just like you huh dad...I get it now, why you were so angry...I wish I didn't though, ignorance would have made this more easier.

Well, Jasmine was absolutely stunned at everything that had just happened. One minute she was having a girlie talk with Profeta and the next they were both hearing angered screams coming from the boys. The very last thing she'd had ever expected was for Kevin of all people to lose his temper...in fact, in the years she'd known him she couldn't ever recall it happening. It was always his creepy laugh, he and her mother--both with equally creepy laughs at times.

It scared her enough to not step in, though she felt a strong sense of regret for it afterward as Andy bolted off the scene. She didn't see the hurt in his eyes but she still felt something in her heart break as he disappeared...and realized it was time for her to leave, too. Jasmine immediately moved to exit herself, stopping to give Profeta and Kevin a polite bow on her way.

"I apologize for everything that's happened," she spoke painfully, turning her attention to Kevin, "...it's very gracious of you to welcome me but...please understand, I have to go with him. I can't come back if he doesn't. I'm sorry."
