"C'mon. Say it!" Black*Star said with a nudge.

"No dad." Aoi said with a look of get-out-of-my-face, before digging his face back into his book.

"Easiest words ever, 'I can surpass god and I am the winner!'" Black*Star said with a grin.

Aoi sighed. "Dad, I don't want to fight, or to 'surpass god', as you say it, I want to become a doctor!" Black*Stars look of sadness washed over Aoi like a cold bucket of water.

"Well, how do you know, you're only 8" Black*Star said with a pout like a 6 year old, hoping to get something like, 'Even if I'm 8, I'm a big man!'

Aio looked at him with a concentrated look. "Well, I guess so.. Oh well, more time to read about becoming one!"

Black*Star was now on his knees, practically begging. "Please son, who will be the next winner in the family when I'm gone?"

Aoi sighed again."What about Dei, or Isamu, or even Kimi?" Aoi said with a hopeful look in his eyes.

Black*Star hung his head. "But you're the oldest and by far the strongest!"

"Maybe that's because Dei is only 6, Isamu is only 4, and Kimi is only 2" Aoi said with a raise f his eyebrow. "We don't know who is the strongest quite yet, and plus, I am horrible with every weapon that is placed in my hand."

Black*Star shuddered at the memory of narrowly dodging a knife that almost hit him on the crotch, the weapon plunging straight on the wall he was leaning up against. "Well.. Maybe you haven't found your calling yet..."

Aoi scoffed. "Dad, face it, I don't want to become the next winner, I want to be known as a world famous doctor, helping people fight against-"

"The many evildoers of the world?" Black*Star said hopefully, cutting him off.

"Cancer. Or any other ways people can get sick" Aoi said raising his eyebrow again.

Black*Star buried his face in his hands. "Why? Why must I have a child who wants to become a doctor? Why not something else? Something less educating, like fighting or slacking off in class? But no, he wants to become a doctor. Something that helps other people like, I don't know, fighting?"

Aoi looked at his dad. "Being a doctor helps people too."

"Not as much as fighting!" Black*Star said, stomping out of the room.

Aoi watched his dad leave as he shook his head. "Why, dad?" He sighed before shoving his face back into his book.
