Eagerly yet calmly approaching his home a valiant knight walked through the dazzling blizzard upon the land. A simple proud and soft smile lingered on his lips the only thoughts was seeing his precious wife. Ace looked up towards the heavens like he have done so many times throughout the years. He knew the elders believed his skills achieved the chuunin rank yet his eyes and mind still had to decide on the others. Still that decision had to be pondered later right now was showing how much his heart and mind missed Onyx's touch. Light blue eyes saw the outline of a humble log cabin adorned with numerous lucky charms found among the distant lands.

A soft thud echoed as the Knave of Heart's black dress shoes took their steps on the wooden porch. Gently his left hand grasped the polished golden handle the Hachidaime Yukikage's heart eagerly pounding with excitement. It was a mere month yet it felt like an eternity without her touch. Thinking of her dazzling olive green eyes Ace opened the door with one of the widest grins upon his lips.

"Onyx my wonderful maiden I have finally returned home"[/b] he announced proudly as he awaited for his precious gem to gaze upon her proud treasure.

[Sumire Violet]

Onyx had arrived home before her husband having set off while he went to fetch her scrolls. Her mood was beyond vile and her vicious tongue was worse than the rumors that described it. Her pride stopped her showing the pain in the tower but the contractions had been getting worse and worse and closer and closer. It was definitely going to be time to give birth today, Onyx had already arrived home and was in the bath trying to relax her metal so that she could think clearly for the birth.

Lying in the tub Onyx heard her husband arrive home, one of the contractions caught her off guard and with a yelp the iron maiden called out for her husband in the rudest way she ever had before. Ace!!!!!! Get your ass in here now and help me you dick!!!!! then in a slightly more girl tone arghhh Ace!!!!!!!!!!!

Silence lingered in the home as Ace patiently awaited. One of his blond eyebrows raised curiously towards the abnormal silence in the home. Usually Onyx always welcomed her husband after a long day of work yet not this time. A white gloved hand gently pinched the chivalrous gambler's chin as his mind pondered about the situation. Although, after a few moments the deep thinking was put into a vicious halt. Hearing his wives clearly strained words the Hachidaime Yukikage rushed towards her voice. Ace saw her in the bathtub frustration and stress clearly written upon her face. There was something else she was inhaling and exhaling heavily.

Then suddenly everything clicked as she whined from another contraction. "let me assist you out of that tub we must get you on the bed dear"[/b] Ace politely and gently instructed her as he offered an hand to use to pull herself out of the tub before leading her to the floor. Without any hesitation the two ANBU who usually watched over the first lady of Yukigakure appeared beside their kage. "dont dwaddle around damn it retrieve some towels this instant also get a hold of a bloody medic"[/b] the Hachidaime ordered the two masked figures. Giving their leader a simple node the two watchers dashed off to complete their orders. A mere second passed before the ANBU instructed to retrieve towels stood beside the card enchanter with a couple of neatly folded ones.

"please remain calm Onyx everything is getting prepared quickly"[/b] the proud husband gently and politely instructed his wonderful wife as the masked figure went to the bedroom to get everything set up. Forming a short chain of handseals he poured his chakra into the iron inside his vessel. Gracefully a shinny tent shimmered on the Yukikage's flesh as his flesh turned into steel. He knew she could easily rip off his hand if there was no protection. Then the door opened as the medic rushed into the bathroom.

[Sumire Violet]

Her husband rushed in along with her two personal AnBu guards, the baby was coming but Onyx knew that and it was the reason for being in the bath. Her eyes shot daggers as she began turning to her husband trying to lift her from the bath, a sudden transition turned her body to steel making it harder to lift her. I am not leaving this tub till the baby is out of me!!! AND WHERE IS THAT F***ING MEDIC!!!

The bath creaked under her steel while two AnBu disappeared, one to grab towels while the other went after that medic. The contractions were getting worse and worse and getting closer together every time. A gentle squeal came as she felt the baby moving within her. With her green eyes staring deep into her husbands, Onyx's hand took a hold of his and she began to squeeze, with her steel active though the squeeze was more of a crush from a machine's vice. Ace... get this baby out of me!!!!!

[/justify][/font]

After months of planning and watching the baby grow inside her it was time for it to come out. Ace carefully observed his lovely wife seeing the stress and heavy strain she was illustrating upon her face. Although, when he attempted to assist her out of the bathtub her sharp and glaring eyes told the proud husband that was not the plan. "so a water brith then" the chivalrous gambler pondered as he nodded at Onyx understanding what she planned on doing. Despite showing a calm expression he was nervious about the situation. Fighting dragons and demons without hesitation yet he was not prepaired for this special day. The Iron Maiden's drrastic shift in wait made sure that she was not going to leave the water. Glancing back at the personal ANBU he Yukikage gave the individual a node. Reacting to this he began to get everything set up for the medic.

"dont worry dear the medic will be here very soon"[/b] the chivalrous gently and politely said to her. His light blue eyes stared deeply into her olive green orbs. Indeed, a soft smile formed upon the card enchanter's lips his heart charmed by those dazzling eyes. Today was the day of Penoa's birthday a day that the lovers could never forget. Although, according to the squeeks form the bathtub a new one mostly like would have to be bought. Gently and gracefully the snow fell outside shimmering in the faint lamp lights.

Rushing into the humble home the medic threw open the front door as he rushed into the bathroom. "remain calm my lovely iron flower our baby shall be welcomed into our lives"[/b] Ace gently coeed into her ear as his left hand grasped onto her hand while his right hand smoothly ran along her scalp. Instantly feeling her strong and vicious vicegrip he silently clutched his jaw tightly attempting to buff out the immense pain. He knew his metal defense was far inferior than hers yet the Hachidaime Yukikage desired to hold his dear wife's hand during this event. Turning his attention to the medic his usually soft and calm eyes turned frozen and sharp. The medic proffesion gulping nervously before he got in position for the birth to begin. "take calm and slow breathes Lady Onyx"[/b] the young proffesional advised as he looked at her before getting to work.

[Sumire Violet]

Onyx's olive green eyes were showing off so many different emotions at once. The joy of seeing her future child, the fear of what her iron body is going to do during birth and also the pain of her occurring childbirth. Listening to her husband saying about the medic arriving soon did calm Onyx down slightly but with a burst of pain Onyx let out a shriek of pain. Ace... that medic better get here now... It's coming!!!!! With another growl of pain Onyx looked upon her husbands eyes grasping his hand in a steel vice.

Taking a few deep inhales and exhales, Onyx's body would return to it's normal state but her hand kept as steel while she crushed Ace's hand. Onyx could feel her child's head starting to emerge from her vagina... Ace, it is coming if the Medic doesn't get here, I'm having this baby myself... Looking at her husband the rage in her face wanted this child out of her as the pain felt as if she was burning alive.

Silently the moments ticked away as the cold arctic air flowed into the humble cabin home. The chivalrous gambler cautiously observed his lovely wife as she continued to be in labor. Her lovely and sharp green eyes seemed so soft as she gazed into the Knave of Hearts own optics. As she yelled in pain the Hachidaime Yukikage simply nodded his head knowing the urgency in the situation. Pain erupted from his left hand as her steel vice began to shatter the steel defense around his limb. The proud and humble husband was eager to see his child. Future memories of teaching his son the art of advanced chakra control methods flashed right in front of his eyes. All of the visual scenes was absolutely wonderful.

Looking down at the water between Onyx's open legs the first signs of the incoming baby appeared. Noticing the child's crown spreading his wive's vagina open his heart fluttered for a split second conjuring a wide smile upon Ace's lips. Tightening his grip on the Iron Maiden's hand his light blue eyes gazed into hers. Hearing the cabin door swing open his attention looked towards the doorway before returning back to the best woman of his life. "he is here my darling"[/b] the Knave of Hearts whispered into her ear so velvety and gently. Rushing into the room the medic slid right to the end of the bathtub. His eyes noticed the baby's crown before looking at the soon to be mother. "good good keep up the great work just keep doing what you been doing just stay calm and breath slowly"[/b] the medic advised as he began to get the birth set up to be finished smoothly.

[Sumire Violet]

Onyx's breathing picked up in speed as her short quick breathes increased, the medic's hands were perfectly placed to catch the baby upon birth. The intense pain of a thousand burning knives permeated her body but primarily hung around her waist as the child's head began exiting her body. A scream of pain came from onyx while she felt like being torn in half, one hand took a hold of her husbands while the other was steel and breaking the bath tub as she held it's edge. Taking a few deep breathes she was told she was clear to push.

The first push was the hardest but she felt the child coming and once the first push went the next few came a lot easier. She didn't know how birth was outside of the water but she guessed it was a lot more painful. Looking to the medic as she gave the final push, the medic would lift the baby out of the water giving it the spank of life to cause it to cry and start breathing on it's own. Ace... it's here

[/font][/blockquote]

ooc- I am just going to give birth this time due to struggling to keep it pg 13 enough especially if it gets dragged out.

[Dealer's Button]

ooc- that was fun

The stars above twinkled for the future legend as the soft arctic wind breezed through the small cracks of the humble log cabin. Ace continued to hum softly into Onyx's ear hoping to ease her pain slightly. The Iron Maiden's screams filled the humble home as the soft sound of a crying child echoed in the soft blizzard outside. Sweat gently rolled down the medic's forehead as he worked diligently to have the birth an success. A proud smile erupted upon the Knave of Heart's lips as his light blue eyes laid upon his dear son. Gazing at the child he could see the sharp green eyes of his mother and the soft light blond hair of his father.

After the baby received his spank of life he was handed over to Onyx. Gently petting the young boy's scalp Ace kissed his lovely wife's forehead. "his name shall be something unique and reminiscent when times are difficult"[/b] he mentioned to the fresh mother with a soft smile upon his lips. "His name shall be Penoa like we mentioned a couple of times"[/b] he mention while awaiting Onyx's approval the proud father softly laid his head upon the baby boy's forehead. His heart felt heavy yet light at the same time. Although sadly this sweet moment was cut short as the two ANBU from before gave their kage a sealed scroll engraved with golden snowflakes and a crimson paw print.

Hugging the wonderful woman passionately the Hachidaime Yukikage placed his lips upon hers. After a few moments of their lips embrace he broke away from the kiss as he walked over to the sacred Yukikage robe and headdress before getting the pieces of clothing on. "I must attend the chuunin inauguration ceremony dear I will be back to spend time with our valiant warrior"[/b] he softly and gently said to her as his heart melted at seeing his precious Penoa lay peacefully against his mother's chest. Walking outside he immediately began to form handseals as a huge amount of cards surged out of the house. Elegantly and quickly the cards attached themselves to their master's shoulder blades as they began to form majestic wings.

With a strong and fierce flap the snow and ice was kicked up as the winged knight surged upwards. His vessel sailed towards the glowing lights in the distance. It was time for the young genins to know their fate. Indeed, it was time for the Archangel of Mercy to make his grand entrance.

Casually yet quickly Ace approached his humble log cabin home. He walked towards the back stopping at a cellar door. Crafting a single playing card into a key he inserted it before the door made a audible click. Gently cracking open the doors the Knave of Hearts entered the ice covered basement. He glanced at the fridge which contained 2 beating hearts safely stored in their containers. Turning his head slightly the Hachidaime Yukikage grabbed the sealed pipe which contained a world map with a few locations marked.

Swiftly and subtly he left the cellar locking up the doors before walking out into the soft blizzard. The Chivalrous Gambler had places to go and other kages to meet.

Walking amongst the falling snow Ace ventured aimlessly as his mind pondered. Although, with the ruffle in the bushes his peace was interrupted once a anbu appeared with a scroll inside his hands. "we found this scroll in one of the abandoned buildings in the west"[/b] the individual mentioned before handing the wrapped up bundle of parchment to his superior before vanishing to do other tasks. Silently the Knave of Hearts stood his light blue eyes starring at the mysterious scroll as the snow fell onto his glasses. Slowly and rapidly he began to unwrap the scroll his breathing suddenly stoping as his eyes noticed the words Kanchi taipu. "that means senser which are incredibly rare" his mind nervously thought as his breathing came back to him. Rolling down the parchment to reveal more information his eyes landed upon one of the fundamental techniques of this rare ninjutsu.

Pondering about the tales surrounding this type of chakra usage there was a few things that came to mind. It is said that those who have not fine tuned their chakra abilities will fail absolutely. So was his chakra modified enough to do the techniques correctly the Hachidaime Yukikage wondered. Using the same method to force his chakra flow to linger out of his vessel the Knave of Hearts kept his eyes opened yet could not sense anything. He tried this method once more his breathing slowing down to increase the potency while smoothing out the energy source's flow. For a few minutes the Chivalrous remained silent as he stood looking down at the short description of the technique. Remembering how it was to sense his chakra flow in the first place he gently closed his light blue eyes.

Darkness grasped his mind only allowing the bleak abyss to be his vision. A soft light flashed in the distance so slow yet graceful as it lightened up the darkness. The soft light formed into a clear aquatic blue as it grew slightly as Ace focused upon his chakra as it extended into the arctic atmosphere around him. As the distant light extended towards himself before becoming pushed away chakra laced footsteps slowly appeared. Soon those very footsteps glowed brightly as the shinobi focused on the flows and gentle potency of the chakra expelled. Ace could not tell who they belonged to or how far yet they became sensed. Rising up his left hand the Hachidaime Yukikage could see the image of his hand. The gentle flows lingering inside giving his limb a blurry outside appearance yet could not sense the rest of his vessel. He knew his sensing abilities were rough yet was still possible.

Opening his eyes slowly the dark void began to disappear as the glowing footsteps retreated back into fantasy. The Knave of Hearts smiled as his glanced over the technique once again. He knew his slight success was possibly due to his mastery of the wood and paper release. Still Ace allowed his chakra to continue flowing outward slightly sensing his fingers and small limbs as the seconds continued to move away slowly. The frost covered leafs shimmered as the wind brush them aside as the serene scene remained silent. Closing his eyes once again the same image as before began to appear. He focused on the blurry edges of his hand doing so allowed the blurry edges to appear as fingers. Although, the whole arm remained to blurry as his attention was brought to the distant glowing footsteps ahead. Returning back to reality the Chivalrous Gambler brought his left hand to his chest as his palm faced towards the sky. He pondered carefully as he could feel chakra radiating from his positioned limb.

Carefully glancing at his positioned limb Ace pondered the identification of different chakra signatures. Also the Hachidaime Yukikage desired to become a master of this rare chakra practice. Light blue eyes continued to stare at the hand wondering how far could he chakra could be traced. It was not hidden that sensers could hunt down anything yet their methods was the true mystery. Gently and slowly closing his hand the energy radiation halted as it dispersed in the atmosphere. Carefully the Knave of Hearts resumed his study of the ancient scroll. After a few moments another technique could be read. A soft smirk appeared upon the card enchanter's lips as he studied the brief summery of the technique's application. According to the description his Mind's Eye could reach far beyond what most thought was possible. Even though at first the reach was very small yet it was the base towards reaching the maximum range.

Remembering the blurry footsteps as before the Chivalrous Gambler gently closes his optics while his breathing slowed. The bleak abyss once again returned as the faint light began to approach. Once the light reached Ace's vessel the blurry footsteps began to appear out in the distance. The range of the train exceeded far from his sight yet in the distance the faint glows still could be noticed. Attempting to project his thoughts forward the kage felt his chakra began to radiate from his body towards the blank horizon. Calmly he continued to regulate the beating of heart and functions of his lungs as his focused remained on extending his chakra smoothly. Minutes slowly passed while the blurry footsteps slightly took a solid form as the energy flow approached. Now in full shape the footstep glowed vibrantly as it sent off small ripples of energy.

Picturing the print Ace attempted to grasp the rings it offered. After a few moments of having his chakra tangle with it a very familier signature began to reveal itself. "Penoa" the Hachidaime Yukikage wondered as he locked onto that specific signature. Fallowing the ripples he kept track feeling the distance from his vessel pulling at his grasp. Still the Knave of Hearts kept his own flow connected with the target as he traveled onward. However, eight meters in the footsteps ahead began to return to their original blurry forms. His grasp began to crumble yet with another push it elegantly lashed onto it advancing forward. Stepping over the eight meters was difficult yet the card enchanter desired to go as far as possible. Standing silently his light blond eyebrows narrowed slightly as the Fiendslayer of the Arctic pushed his flow onward. He could still see the footprints burning with energy yet blurry in the vast distance. Although, when he finally reached 10 meters outward the bleak abyss engulfed the prints ahead.

Glistening with brilliance the fatherly leader reeled in his energy signature. As the flow slowly returned to it's master the Hachidaime allowed his chakra to brush against the lingering chakra flow his son Penoa. The child was so young yet as Ace observed the soft ripples emitting from the child's chakra footprint a proud smile engraved itself upon his lips. he could tell the boy was destined for greatness due to the gentle potency of his energy signature. Opening his eyes slowly the Knave of Hearts glanced around allowing hsi breathing to return. Cold vapors lingered out of his lips as he thought about his training. Even though the chakra usage was low rank he could still tell how much the small amount built up. Glancing at the description once again the individual glanced onward still seeing the glowing footprints he observed a few moments ago.

Pondering about the clarity of the chakra footprint he observed a few moments ago. Ace could tell who's signature it was and the possibly the power level of the individual. Also he realized how far his Mind's Eye currently extended itself which was a little past 9 meters. Leaning against a frost covered tree the Hachidaime Yukikage gently closed his eyes as he tapped into his chakra network. Feeling the gentle flow inside his veins and bones the Chivalrous Gambler allowed his energy to radiate outward. Silently as his consciousness stretched into the bleak abyss to fallow the glowing footprints his lips continued to count each step along the way. Once upon the targeted print stretching away 10 meters from the card enchanter it slithered softly in the arctic wind.

Gazing upon it the elegant ripples emitting from it hypnotized the fatherly figure. Right in front of his senses was the concrete proof of his dear son's progress into a powerful defender of Yukigakure. Judging from the frequently of the ripples emitted Ace's young boy was still a D rank shinobi yet it was far above average for the young puppet user's age. Gazing deeply into the glowing print of brilliance as the card user's eyes remained closed a warm and proud smile remained upon the parent's lips. This was one of the main reasons for his progress of becoming a stronger Kage while building up the power and ferocity of his dear village. Moments lingered into the past as the snow continued to fall upon the still posture of the Fiendslayer of the Arctic as the same proud smile remained. Those moments quickly turned into hours before being returned into the natural world by a soft gentle poke from a small finger.

"daddy why are you out in the cold Penoa is confused"[/b] Penoa mentioned one of his blond eyebrows raised curiously. Chuckling happily Ace did not say a word until his left gloved hand gently landed upon the child's scalp. "I was gazing at your progress and im proud of you my son"[/b] the fatherly kage said to his treasure as the same smile illustrated towards the person who etched it onto the card user's face.
