It seemed that Date's words weren't reaching her. Her energy swathed around her for a moment, anger clear in her energy! She wasn't cool headed, and even as she calmed down, Date could tell what was up: This kid was gonna attack. An uppercut with an astounding amount of energy in a ball came up at Date's chin! The saiyan's eyes leered at the girl lashing out, only choosing to move his hand in the way of the attack. The blast made a loud exploding sound, similar to a, 'Doush.'
Civilians around the area were mostly freaking out and fleeing, while some brave folk stood around, eyeing the spectacle. Date's hand was trembling, scraped and burnt from the attack, but he was still standing, strongly! However, his face did get singed from the attack as well and that angered him. He growled, "We're playing this game then..!"
Date took his hand, balling it into a fist before sending it to the kid's face. The Mercenary then followed up by bringing that same hand down to her shirt, aiming to grab it and head butt her. He was the type that believed in giving the youth words first to get them to stop their actions, but if that didn't work, giving them a good beating would make them understand! This girl, unfortunate for her, was the type that needed the reason beaten in as far as Date could care!
"You're gonna learn why you're not going to Maple right now," he spat in her face, a ferocity in his eyes that screamed dangerous care. He didn't know where she got this energy from, but he sure as hell knew that she was gonna learn respect!
Date takes the blow to his blocking hand and chin! He opts to return the favor with an uppercut to her chin, followed with grabbing the collar of her shirt and aiming to headbutt her.
PL: 18,691

Kitiana had continued pushing her hand upwards against the hand even as it held it still, Her eyes locked onto Date at this point and ignoring most of what was going on around her. Even as he growled at her, Her eyes became glazed over with the same dark purple mist-like energy. While she was infused with this strange new energy, her body had never been trained... She didn't truly know how to fight. So even as she attempted to block, she ended up being unsuccessful. Her face being sent to the side as the fist slammed into her jaw, her body lurching sideways before being grabbed and yanked back. Her eyes searching around for a moment, disoriented from the blow before she felt a sharp pain against her face. As she reeled from it, Her body despite being lurched around a bit didn't move much from it's original spot. Her eyes finally focusing once more, locking back again with Date "Xlw swr'k hhwj yr." Once again she spoke in the same weird language-esk tone as before
However it wouldn't be long before Date would hear a familiar phrase, One spoken just before she had attacked Maple before "Onrdw Tdhfv Nlsgp Wrxqzw" Her hand pressed against his stomach, blood running down from her nose and lower lip before the strange swirling energy appeared in front of her, her energy swelling to a rather chaotic level around them before the burst of energy was fired toward the center of Date's chest. The bleeding that she already had began to grow in it's intensity, Old wounds from the time she spent in the wilds reopened... A dangerous attack, for both Date and Kitiana.

Date's punches were like sledge hammers to hot metal, the metal being the teen being irate! Yet she pressed forward. She moved towards Date, gibberish coming out of her mouth. The saiyan leaned forward, an ear brought forward as he asked, "What was that? I couldn't understand you gargling on your own spit!"
She brought her hand to Date's stomach and muttered similar words to when they both met Maple! He could feel the energy seething from this strange materialized bracelet on her arm. Date could move, but that would be putting the people around in even more danger, and also bring along cops that Lisha and Date alike didn't need. Lisha was on her feet at this point, poised and ready to move in.
"That's it, brat," Date growled, his right hand coming down to meet the energy. However, his hand quickly rose up under hers and shot upwards! The eruption of energy was so strong that it overwhelmingly beat out the girl's power and became a railgun shot to space above them. The level impact, on top of this, was enough to shatter the bones in the girl's forearm and hands, with the skin on her arm steaming in hot pain!
Lisha came up behind rapidly and pulled the other arm behind the girl. She didn't want in this, but the teen brought the people around in danger, and knowing Date, he wasn't fond of what just happened either! They had only one option at this point: Take her to a place no one would come looking. She vocalised, "Date get the bike. We've got to take her somewhere to get patched up."
Date relaxed afterwards, ignoring the incessant wails as he replied, "Yeah, I know."
He vanished from sight to his bike and ignited the engine. It roared to life, being fueled by the energy Date poured into it. Lisha followed suit, taking both her stuff and the teen's stuff and putting it in a back compartment on the side seat before hopping in. She wrapped her arms around the girl tightly, pressing her against her body enough so she couldn't move around so much. Otherwise, the girl was bound to hurt herself! She whispered, to try soothing the girl, "It'll be alright, kid. Lils has you covered... You remember the spot Date?"
Date knew it, but she had to ask. They sped out of their, the bike actually flying via the wheels becoming horizontal! They zipped through the buildings, heading to the Western section of the city to a degrading part of the city. They arrived at a red brick apartment in a small complex and entered quickly, Date's bike being parked on the sidewalk. He turned on the self defense protocol before the three of them made their way inside, to the third floor! They knocked on an unmarked door, strangely in good condition compared to the rest of the doors. It was opened for them and they entered inside. What sort of place did they take this girl to, and what on Earth was going with her?
Date counters with Super Ki Beam. Totals at 12,461, and bleeds through the 8,086 damage of your Sig. The damage, with Kitiana dropping below 0 KP, causes her forearm and hand to shatter and burn. At that point, Lisha restrains Kitiana, puts her stuff in the compartment of the sidecar, and sits Kitiana in her lap, carefully squeezed into her. Date revs the bike to life and takes them to an apartment in the Western Part of the city to take care of Kitiana and her wounds!
I'm alright with you describing what the interior of the place is like and taking control of the people inside. For a little context: A doctor who treats criminals living highly in a dying out section of the city.

Kitiana's teeth were squeezed together in a growl, until she felt a surge of pain course through her. Her arm shot upwards, nearly being blown clean off. A loud banshee-like wail escaped from her as the pain coursed through her rapidly, She could feel each of the bones breaking apart. But her wail only lasted a few moments before she fell silent, having been blown backwards and away from Date a good few feet. As her body lay still, Lisha scooped her up and they began to cart her off.
One minute, two minutes... an hour, For Kitiana time didn't seem to move at all. In an unconscious state most would simply drift and drift, and when they woke up they'd likely remember little. Kitiana however experienced it all, from the searing, burning pain in her arm all the way to touching down. The wind only made her burn worse, she wanted to howl out in pain but she couldn't. Her body, motionless in Lisha's hands, moved only where it was able too as she was lifted away. 'It'll be alright', Those words rang over and over for her. How was this alright, She had lost control again... Had endangered those around her. But Date... He drove her there, He forced her to do that. But it'll be alright. Ah, There it was... The sounds of steps against concrete, and then doors opening. People talking, impossible to concentrate on. Her body still wracked with so much pain, it was almost unbearable. But that was all she could do, was bear it. Nothing would move, nothing would happen.
A cold surface, but a soft one... A bed perhaps? But why? Why here... What was going on? Kitiana wasn't left to lay there however, The room she had been taken too wasn't the best but it was functional. A simple medical bed was used to hold her for now, her arm had breaks everywhere. Simply resetting her bones weren't going to be easy, nor painless. However anesthetics were used to dull the pain. The damage caused was from a mixture of events, however it seemed that operating on the arm wasn't the only task required. A lot of her older wounds, that hadn't been properly tended too in the first place, had reopened and were causing a lot of issues. It took a few hours before they could safely work on her arm, though by the time they had finished most of the day had passed. Her arm was now covered with a cast, keeping it firmly in place to help the bones set back into place and heal properly. Kitiana, however, was still out cold, Unlikely to naturally wake for at least a few more hours.

Date and Lisha talked with the people inside about the situation. They then paid them to heal up Kitiana, which they then got to work. In her unconscious sleep, she struggled as they set the bones and fragments back in place before applying a sort of gel all over her arm prior to putting on a cast that went into her pores. The cast was meant to keep her from moving her arm around, but because of how strong she was, she also had to be bound to the bed! Date and Lisha were quiet, at one point resting for an hour before Date woke back up to go check on her.
He got to her bedside and saw she was still asleep and still bound to her bed. The Mercenary shook his head, muttering quietly, "You shouldn't have tested me, kid... You've gotta take my offer kid. I don't know what the hell's up with you and your family, but it's clear they know something you need to learn about yourself."
Date sighed before walking around the apartment. He stopped in the room next over, an open view of the bed Kitiana was in from his spot. There was a window in this room that let him look out to the backside of the street, where all sorts of people strode and hung around at. This was supposed to be a small shopping day to ease their minds up a bit more, but all this was doing to Date was irritating and stressing him out! Lisha, as well, was stressing out, but she'd been napping just waiting for the girl to be good enough to be awake.

Kitiana's rest was a very uneasy one, Even an hour after the operation had finished. A constant supply of anesthetic was being delivered, Just as well an incapacitating agent to keep her asleep as well as additional sedatives. Though contained, and far more tame than before, her energy kept fluctuating. For the most part Kitiana remained still, but her face said it all. It contorted and writhed with pain and frustration, her one good arm would tighten into a ball for several minutes before finally relaxing. It was a terrible experience for her, able to hear everything going on... And yet reliving those same moments over and over. Maple's voice kept tormenting her, while the scene from Date breaking her arm and the pain from it kept being replayed. These nightmares caused her power to fluctuate wildly, But the anesthetics and other drugs that had been administered kept it from growing too much, effectively keeping it under control. The one thing the anesthetics and drugs couldn't help with however, was her breathing.
Thankfully aside from her short and raspy breaths, she didn't cause any problems, nor do anything that would warrant concern whilst she slept. Aside from the twitching and pained grunts that came from her every so often, Kitiana remained docile as was promised. She also remained asleep for another two hours, for a total of three, before she began to awaken. Of course as she awoke, she immediately began to try and move. Kitiana could feel the restraints, and she did her very best to pull against them. A few of the machines began to speed up with their beeping as she exerted herself more and more, trying to free herself as she groggily looked around the room. Most of her body wouldn't move, but her one good arm did. But try as she might, she couldn't get free. Her legs shifted only slightly as her vision slowly cleared, and soon fell to her arm which was now suspended and held in place with multiple restraints to ensure it didn't move.
It took her about a minute to fully grasp everything that was happening, her mind was foggy at best with the constant supply of anesthetic. Most of the other drugs had begun to wear off, but the anesthetic continued. She didn't say anything at first, but her breathing was slowly getting better. Her short raspy breaths turned into short, rapid breaths. Slowly but surely, She was coming around... But too what?

There was still nothing happening. Lisha was snoring in her sleep, while Date stood brooding, while looking outside the window. He was wondering if he should just leave this girl alone and avoid her like the black plague or if he should just do this job without the girl knowing so he could learn what was going on with her. Her energy was definitely strange, like that Maple guy, but she was still a saiyan!
An unusual jostling movement caught Date's attention. She was waking up! Date briskly walked over to her bed and put his hand down at the center of her collar, stating aloud, "Hold still kid. You're bound to a bed right now."
This, he knew what she was going through, at least. Date had a few times where he had broke several ribs and fractured his wrist, only to have it be fully broken so it could heal properly, and when he woke to someone he didn't wanna see, he freaked the hell out and hurt himself more! Pushing down there should tell her that much!
Sorry for the short post. I didn't have much to go on.

As her surroundings began to clear up, She felt a hand press down against her collar. She immediately froze, her eyes scanning around for but a moment before she saw who it was. Her one good arm immediately began pulling against the bindings, her entire body tensing as she strained against them. It was immediate recognition of who he was, of what he thought he could make her do... or rather, not do. Hatred, Anger, Rage... Along with so many other emotions surged through her, but it didn't last long before she felt the sharp pain from her other arm. "AGH!" She yelped out in pain, Her arm now tugging against the bindings though for want to grasp her shoulder rather than this man. Most of her body went lax quickly, except for her good arm which continued to pull against the restraints. Kitiana had reeled back slightly from the pain, though her arm wouldn't move due to the cast, her shoulder had felt quite a bit of the pain and unfortunately was still in quite a bit of pain.
Truth be told she hadn't even thought of those feelings, or rather why they were there, until that sharp pain. Why did her shoulder hurt? Why couldn't she move? What happened?! "What... Happened?" As she strained against the bindings she let out a low growl of frustration, Then... tears. Kitiana hadn't ever been in this much pain before, and what made it worse... She didn't even remember what caused it.

The girl ended up doing the opposite of what Date told her, struggling a bit before cringing amd yelping at trying to move with her busted arm. Date perked an eyebrow up in a judgemental manner.
"You could say that a young saiyan teen freaked out at her elder and tried to shoot out that elder's guts all over the shopping district, but then that elder said, 'Fuck that,' and broke the girl's arm for trying to do that! This in turn making a spotlight for people to wonder what's up," Date alluded, removing his hand from her, "Being that he didn't want the girl to find herself waking, again, with a broken arm and her mother crying about what happened, the elder and his cousin took the young girl to a private place to be healed up! The people they met with do good work and enable those wounded, even with broken and or missing parts to be patched up in a way that it feels like it hadn't happened... Do you understand?"
At that point, Date grabbed a rolling chair and pointed at the girl. He stated, with both eyebrows raised, "After what just happened, I want you to think through, fully, about what the hell would happen, aloud, if you went to meet with that Maple guy. All the way through..!"
Another post, with Date being quick in dishing out the story.

Soon after he began talking, Kitiana finally stopped struggling. It didn't make the pain any less, but there was obviously no reason to try to fight against the binds... She simply wasn't strong enough. So in quiet frustration she listened. Much to her dismay, it seemed it had happened again, She'd yet again lost control. Her hand was still tightly curled into a ball, trying her hardest to block out the pain but being unable to do so. However it seemed that Date was... helping? Sort of anyway. Sure he had broken her arm, but he also brought her somewhere where it could heal... So there's that at least.
As he continued she let out a soft sigh, keeping one eye closed tightly from the pain. "Yeah I understand..." She muttered as she looked down at her one good arm "But I never said I'd confront him right now..." As her muscles tensed and flexed against the bindings one last time, She growled in frustration. "But you don't understand... Nobody does, Nobody knows what it's like to not know who you really are. If you had the chance to finally grasp something you've longed for all your life, would you not try? Would you just let it vanish and pretend like it was never a possibility? That's what it's like for me. There's no documentation of my birth, there's no documentation of who my Father was... There's no documentation surrounding anything about me. That's why you can't get it, that's why nobody can. My Mother is the only one alive who knows where I came from, And now I have the chance to find it out through Maple. How could you possibly understand what that's like?" She never once looked at him, her eyes focused on her still good arm.
"I don't expect you to understand, or to be able to know what this is like... But Maple is the only other person I've ever seen that could even know anything about who or what I am. You claim I'm a saiyan, but my Mother doesn't have a tail. Maybe my Father did but who knows who he was, I don't know who my grandparents are, or who theirs are or anything. I just want to know where I come from..."

The kid understood, but sought to bring up a story about how she felt she was unable to approach herself as a whole, alluding to how her father had been out of the picture and there'd been no records about her. Date sucked his lips in, eyebrows raised as she asked him how he could understand, and then went to saying how she wasn't expecting him to understand. She then pointed out that she wasn't a saiyan due to her mother not having a tail.
Date pointed to Lisha, who was still sleeping through their conversation, "See my cousin napping over there? She's got no tail. Never had one. However, she's still got the rest of the traits of what a saiyan is, and sure, you may not be a saiyan either. You could have something else in you that only makes you appear to be part saiyan... But let me tell you a bit about whom I am by talking about this place here."
He pointed around the apartment thereafter.
"You're in a medical bed that's located in a low end apartment complex in a very poor district of town that should belong to one of the many higher end hospitals that can be found in all the major cities of the world," he went to explain, "There has been no documentation on who made this medical bed, where it came from, or why it is even functioning on the level that it is. It should be draining this district of power, and yet, you're in it, with the bed being in full function... And I just happen to come across it? No. I didn't happen across it. I already knew it was here..."
He clasped his hands together at this point while looking Kitiana in the eyes. He spoke affirmatively to her, "My cousin over there, Z-TV reporter Lisha Wolfbane, and myself have a family whose secrets go back hundreds of years, back to when our family made the Hunter's Harborage in East Capital. Those secrets can be learned, but it takes the effort and perseverance to go through it all. You know your mother has the information you need to learn, but you don't want to learn it because you're afraid of hurting her. It's commendable, but I need you to actually understand this: Every time we've come into contact, you've been injured in some capacity, and you've lost control. The first time, your mother was there and she was bawling in tears worried over you. This time, I brought you directly here so that you'd not put her through that traumatic experience again. However, just like a saiyan kid that's growing up, they have to learn about themselves. Although you haven't been transforming into an Oozaru, you've been certainly acting like one, and with almost as much kick as one! Instead of going to a guy whose obsession is to cause chaos and destruction, I'm offering this to you: We go together to talk with your mother. Find out what's going on with you."

Kitiana listened in silence, not that she could do much else right now anyway. He first spoke of where they were, likely to make her feel like he was similar to her. It was useful at least, though she didn't honestly understand the point behind it. Sure he already knew about this place, but that didn't help her. Already having knowledge was pointless in a scenario where she needed information he didn't have. So why bother telling her about it? Then he began telling her about his cousin, who happened to be sleeping nearby. One thing was for certain, he was giving her a lot of information about himself... Without giving any information about himself. He spoke of their family and how it dated back hundreds of years, but that's when he began to connect the pieces. But he still didn't seem to get it.
"I have asked about it actually, and she always dodged the question. Besides I ran away from home, Even if I did go back she'd be too busy trying to ensure I didn't run away again to answer any kind of question." She paused for a moment "Besides I've met someone who's teaching me to control this... Whatever it is, yeah I can't control it yet but I know the trigger.... Kind of. So I can keep working on it!" Kitiana sighed softly, shaking her head "I don't care what Maple is into, all I care about... All I want, are answers."

The teen was in silence as Date spoke. At the very least, she was giving him the time of day to listen to his words. Afterwards, he was informed that someone was already teaching her how to control herself, as well as how she was commanding and didn't want to answer. It led her to running away, which was probably why she was learning from whomever this guy was. Date could only hope it wasn't Maple, but if she was learning, it was a start.
"Knowing how this happens is best," Date stated with a huff, "At that point, if you can control it, it doesn't matter what it is. You don't have to worry about trying to learn about it from anyone, but if you do intend to, you should be going to meet someone who isn't like Maple! There is always... Always someone else who knows better! Someone, somewhere on this Melting Pot of a planet would know! You gotta get familiar, though..."
He paused, standing up from his chair with a hand on his hip. The other hand was pointed at her, Date stating, "I've said my piece to you, and gave you a taste of what'll happen if you don't learn. Do yourself a favor and go figure it out from someone or something, since it's so important. Do not go to Maple for answers you can learn on your own! That being said, when you feel good enough, head on out to meet with your teacher. Tell them what happened. If they feel like talking and/or scraping with me, they can go through the networks of the underground to find me."
Date didn't bother removing the restraints on the girl. He moved to the other room and woke his cousin up with a nudge to her head. She asked, "Huh? W-What happened? Is she awake?"
"Yeah, she's awake. If you got a piece to say to her, do so now. I'm going downstairs to get the bike ready."
"Okay. I'll see you down there."
Date nodded and made his way out of the apartment. As he passed the entryway to Kitiana's room, he looked one more time and pointed with a snap of his fingers at her, implying he'd see her around. Lisha, soon after, walked into the doorway, tapping on the wall. She asked in a pleasant tone, "Mind if I come in and chat?"
I'm thinking, if you'd like, we can go for one or two more rounds of posting before ending this. Up to you!

He had a vague point, if you could even call it that. She needed to learn, though she didn't care who it was as long as they were knowledgeable. That being said, Saizomaru and Maple were the only two who seemed to be knowledgeable enough to help her in some way, though admittedly she didn't know how Maple could. But maybe he was right, maybe she should seek others. After all, she thought only Maple could help at first and now she's training with Saizomaru, so maybe there were more? Or maybe Saizomaru was the other one. But learning to control her power and knowing who she was, were two entirely different things.
And again he thought to command her not to go for Maple, alas she hadn't the strength nor the care to retort this time. Her shoulder was still in quite a bit of pain, and her mind was wandering. Even so soon after he left, and in came his cousin who seemed far more polite. Kitiana tried sitting up, only to find herself still locked down to the bed. She gave a simple nod to Lisha, though she looked down at her left arm and began pulling at the straps once more. Her muscles bulged, but as hard as she pulled against them she couldn't free herself which caused her to growl in frustration. "So I never asked, but why am I being locked up like an animal?"
