There Aura was, throwing a few flimsy punches at the training dummy in the dojo. She was never really a fighter but her grandfather's words really got to her. She softly sighed as she recalled how he told her that a hero must prove their point by fighting. In all honesty, Aura was never a fighter. She always prefer to solve her problems with her words and resolve the problems she faced peacefully. Though all that changed when her father got injured to keep her and Akemi safe. Since then, Aura began to train even if her paws pleaded with her to stop.

After a few more punches, her little paws grew red as they were in pain. The little kitten stopped to take a short break. This was painful for her to use the very paws she once used to write to plan to beat others up. She didn't want to fight but she had to. All the Mao clan members were heroes and to not be one is a disgrace to the family name. Her mother worked hard to be the hero she was well known for, she can't be a disgraceful daughter in her eyes. It would simply break Brunhilde heart to have a non hero daughter.

"Woah sis, I thought you be writing a new story about our family. Your paws look like they been to boot camp" Her brother,Akemi was next to her with his electric blue headphones in his ears.

"Akemi...I though you said you wouldn't relax after what happened to dad. Don't you think we should do as grandpa told us?! Did you honestly not care that papa got hurt?!" Tears fell down Aura emerald eyes was recalled the memory

" Is what you're doing? Aura do you really think this is you. Sis, you aren't a fighter and you know it. Look dad help me see that I don't have to keep my guard up constantly and it's okay to relax sometimes. Seeing dad hurt was painful for me but it's more would hurt our parents more to see you become someone you aren't " Akemi reasons and helps her off the floor

"What if I become a disgrace to the family because I don't fight or become a hero?" Aura asked, worry lacing her voice

"Aura, who cares what grandpa thinks. What you want to be is what you will choose to be. You are Aura Mao, the girl whose words can move anyone's heart. The best sister I could ever ask for! The one who can make a new wardrobe for anyone in a matter of three days! You may not become the hero that our clan is well known for but you will be your own kind of hero. The one you are proud to be! If anyone ever tells you otherwise then I will handle them!" Akemi looked at her, smiling proudly at his sister

Aura tears up again as she embraces her brother into a hug. His words completely vanquished the words of doubt that plagued her mind. She wasn't a disgrace to her family. Her words would inspire others to be heroes as she would motivate them to be the heroes they chose to be! Shin Mao may be a legendary hero and her grandfather but he didn't decide her fate or choices! Aura would be a speaker who needed inspiration.

"Thank you so much, Akemi! You are so b-day Are you listening to your music?!" This angered Aura since Akemi just ruin the moment

Akemi couldn't hear her since his favorite song came on and he was lost in the music. He couldn't even feel Aura hitting him for making her angry. Though he did take some happiness that he help get his grandfather's words of doubt out of her head. He would protect his little sister from him, he knew how he hurt his uncle. That was not going to happen to Aura ever. Even if he had to fight Shin Mao. No one would ever hurt his family even if it is physical or emotional.

Brunhilde saw all this, smiling how Akemi cheered up Aura and comfort her like the big brother he was. It did hurt her that her own father caused her daughter to believe that she would be a disgrace of she didn't become a hero, how could he ever say that. He was never that way with her or her sisters yet Mao Mao was different. Father did always pay more attention to them rather then his only son. She never thought about it much up until now. She never really talk to him since she became a legendary hero. Maybe she could take after her children's example and give him a call.
