36th step: Triumph

Hah. And I had feared that things had blown over.

Are you at last happy, you Shinigami, now that more blood's been spilled? And you men of Konoha? I suppose it doesn't matter. You've done nothing to stop this, and won't be doing anything different in the future, I wager.

And that's true for all you madmen of this city, make no mistake. None of you are safe. Take care who you look up to as your healers and guardians.

My regards to your brother, dome Izuna. Sometimes it seems a shame that we must be enemies.



This has gone well, and better than well... but it will take a subtler hand than mine, now, and one less known, to truly make the notch in doma Unohana's reputation. In case you desire the pleasure.

Shut up.

Spoken like someone who knows I am right.

Why would most of us care one way or the other?

It's just a problem for those involved.

Hardly.

Of course. It's a boon, rather, for folks like you and I, who would do as they please.

You are transparent, domeino.

[Madara and Aizen went at each other, and Hinamori was the one who suffered for it. And yet again, Samaren was there to throw his mistakes in his face.

Someone had better have their eyes on him, because one shinigami in particular was not at all satisfied with how much blood had been spilled.

They don't look very happy to me.

Oh yes, such a pity.

A boon? It's something that incites people to complain about things they can do nothing about.

[Tch! If there's one thing Zuko hates, it's people making themselves happy over other's misery, especially when someone has been injured as horrifically as Hinamori apparently was.

It's something cowards do. Not real men.

It's a long moment before the prince speaks, and while he has no idea who Saul is, his tone is laced with disgust.]


Spoken like a true hero.

[His tone is lazy, genuinely amused rather than mocking.]

Don't make assumptions, domeino.

Would it have been better if they could do something?

[identity profile] favorthebold.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a lowly trick, domeina, to harbor a wolf in one's midst then pretend to agony when it devours someone. If they did not want this to happen, where were they all this time?

[identity profile] favorthebold.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
And now what?

Hmm? I don't see how this concerns you.

[Zuko's eyes narrow at the response. This isn't his fight. Just an observation from a passerby who can't keep his mouth shut.]

That was a lot of blood, what we all saw. Your entire speech was about pointing fingers and placing blame. How about an 'Is she okay'?

[Because even if you do have a grudge against someone, even if you do hate them, there's no call for violence on that level. None. And to take advantage of it? It reminded him of Azula.]

But Aizen isn't with the Shinigami anymore! He never really was, and because of him, they've suffered so much!

What does it matter? They know his power and his danger; are they unwilling to end him, or are they simply too weak?

I am curious. You will have few allies in this.

Why would we be happy, Saul-san ?

Why would we rejoice ?

What do you expect us to do ? What do you expect from this pointless provocation ?

[This gets a more serious response. After all, Saul is a man with an agenda, here, and no one swallows agendas like boys who like to feel righteous.]

That is a short-sighted look at it. There are men here who claim to power and goodness; if they are not called on their responsibilities, what will become of those who rely on them?

[identity profile] favorthebold.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I expect answers, doma. If you are so powerful, and if you are so good and kind, then why did it come to this?

[identity profile] k0koro-kara.livejournal.com 2010-06-29 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone's been doing their best to make sure that he can't do what he's doing in our world without dragging the rest of the city in!
