>Four quests at once

Fucking glorious.

He stands emotionless, arms crossed. The sunglasses might hide his eyes, but all other features of his face paint a single picture: repressed disgust. The slight pursing of his lips, the lax scowl of his brow; everything seen is that of someone extremely displeased, but hiding it through patience. And power. Some men you can tell by just being near them of what they’re capable of, of what their consciousness allows. And you know, and the others can sense, that his consciousness doesn’t dare to limit him, if it even exists.

The aura isn’t just picked up by you, but by your sisters as well. Satsuki commands those in the room under her dominion to step back with a simple hand-gesture, and Ryuuko’s grin is gone instantly.

He continues to stare straight through everyone in the room, speaking to you as he gazes forward from the doorway. “These are the people you’ve acquired?”

“Yes-“

“Pathetic.” The disdain from his being passes to his breath. He isn’t pleased. He calmly walks toward you, passing by Ryuuko.

“You forget your place, Dauphin. I-“ He’s already in front of you. You blinked and he moved from the doorway and is mere inches away from your face. He stares you down, no mercy, no feeling. Just a blank slate. For a second, you’re scared. You feel the fear within, writhing to escape. To run back to the safety of your cell; no, the excuse of imprisonment. You then look over to Satsuki, to Ryuko. You lost them once, you won’t lose them again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OybF6sFDnQ

“Listen, G. I’m in charge here. Don’t interfere, and the arrival will go according to plan.” You push your face even closer to his, your reflection staring back at you with those illuminated devil eyes. You smile the same devilish grin you’ve given him time and time again, flashing your jet black teeth, taking hold of his collar with your undamaged arm. “Or do you want to decide this with a duel?”
He isn’t unsettled at all by your ploy. You stand like this for a few seconds in complete silence, and he speaks, as calmly as ever. “You seem sure. Good, let’s hope the failures of the mother aren’t the failures of the son.” You let go of his suit, and he readjusts it to smooth out the wrinkles. He withdraws his face from yours, and begins to walk out the doorway. He stops at the frame, not bothering to turn again.

“I’ll be in touch, Sun King.” He exits as he entered, silently, and without incident.

You sit at Hinode’s executive desk, wondering exactly what is happening at the hospital. You sit there, staring at Ragyo’s… no Hinode’s executive office. It’s much simpler than what Ragyo had, two chair on the opposite sides of a cherry desk. It was his grandfather’s desk, and was brought out of storage along with a lot of other old family items.

“The Kiryuin manor will be restored to full glory, mark my word!” He’s got the same flair for the dramatic at times, just like Ragyo.
Tsk, why did he have to appear now? He’s already been stabbed twice in a matter of days, and although…

The landline rings, and you pick it up. “Rei Hououmaru, executive assistant to Hinode Kiryuin, speaking.”

“Rei, everything is alright. He left without incident.” You breathe an audible sigh of relief. “Ah, my feelings exactly. Thanks for the heads-up. It must not be eas-“

You cut him off before he can bring that up. “No problem, sir.” You can’t help but have a somewhat elated tone. “I have a question, though.” You say with all seriousness:

[] How much longer will you be there?
[] Why keep me around? Why trust me?
[] Do you think they’ll go along with it?

Writing.

The knot in your stomach tightens, and you consider hanging up right then and there, but you have to ask, “Why keep me around? Why do you trust me?”
A few seconds of silence pass, and then you hear… laughter. It grows like a symphonic burst, with all the players building up for a grand finale, until slowly descending into a drawn out groan. You can’t help but be uneased by the reaction, although you can’t say it’s atypical.

“How many times have I answered that question, Rei?” You hesitate to answer, thinking it’s rhetorical, but the silence afterwards indicated otherwise. You haphazardly answer, “Twenty or so times, sir.”

“And haven’t I given the same answer each and every time?”

“Yes, but-“

“My answer remains the same, Rei. You’re an integral part of Project NAKED. You’re the best assistant an executive can ask for, and you’re fiercely loyal to our family. Hell, if it weren’t for you, I’d be locked away in that cell. Overall, your services are indispensable, and you yourself are indispensable. Also, I can’t really think of anyone else I can call a friend, so I suppose that counts for something.”

[] Thank you, sir.

Alright, writing.

A potent mixture of fear, happiness, and chagrin fill you. Even though you failed, he’s still willing to forgive you? You can’t fully comprehend why, still. You’ve ask the same question multiple times, and have gotten the same answer each time. He trusts you, and respects you to some degree; not just as an employee or tool, but as a friend. Tears well up in your eyes, though not enough to actually fall. “T-thank you, sir. But, what about your sisters?”

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll simply make the offer I was talking over with you before the trip.”

“Do you really think they’ll take it?”

“I believe so. Satsuki is head-strong, but she definitely isn’t an imbecile. It’s the best way to accomplish are shared goals, and I’m sure it’s the best way for her to accomplish her own ‘personal’ goals.”

“So, you haven’t won their trust?” Right as you say it, you wish you could take it back.

Hinode’s tone turns for the worst, sounding much more depressed. “No, I haven’t. It’s enough to work with them, but not even enough to believe what they say. Why don’t they believe me, Rei? What did I do? I only stabbed them just a little bit. Just a tiny bit is all…. Why don’t people trust me?” And then more manic. This isn’t good, he’s going off the deep-end again.

“I’m not her. I’m not them. I’m not another. I’m me, just me, only me. Me, me, me…. I’m not Ragyo, just related; her son. RELATED IS ALL!” He yells the last part away from the phone.

Well, I haven't gotten a chance to write a single "Good-end" to a dice roll, yet. Time to write something positive.

“Sir, please. Please, calm down.”

“How, why… I can’t tell them; not yet. Can’t yet. Just have to wait for the solstice, then... I can tell them everything. Everyone, everything. It won’t matter then… WHY CAN’T YOU JUST TRUST ME?”

“I- I TRUST YOU!” You yell the last part uncharacteristically, breaking the usual uncaring tone.

Silence. Nothing comes over the other line.

You quickly regain a more professional tone, letting just a hint of care through. “I trust you, sir. Not just as my employer, but… as a confidant. Each day, I risk a lot by simply working for you, let alone helping you with Project NAKED. I know what will happen if we fail, if we are found out early. It doesn’t matter. I’ll follow you wherever you decide to lead me, to lead all of REVOCS!”

Silence still. Nothing but the low hum of the phone line. You hear your heart beat, one thump after another, nervously waiting for some response.

“Thank you, Rei. I lost myself there for a minute, and you found me before I could. I’ll be back in the office next week. And… sorry about yesterday.”

“Don’t worry about HQ. I look forward to your return, Hinode Kiryuin.”

Click. You realize you’re blushing.

Alright. Writing.

You put the phone’s receiver back on its hook. A few of the hospital orderlies are still staring at you, giving you a concerned look. You have to stay in control. Order, discipline, constitution; those are the traits you have, but they do nothing with this madness. Sometimes you can control, sometimes you can’t; seemingly the whim of someone other than yourself. It wasn’t this bad in the beginning. You stand there for a minute, staring at the blank white wall before you, still griping the phone’s receiver.

“A king to whom? I can’t even rule my own kingdom.” You slowly walk back to your room, where your sisters and their… friends are waiting. You lay back down on the bed, taking as much time as you can.

You dryly state, “So, father told you everything before he up and left, huh? And you secretly plotted a rebellion against our mother since you were a tyke. And near the end of that, Ryuuko, presumed dead, shows up and almost ruins that plan? How?” You raise your head from the bed to look over to where Ryuuko is sitting. “No offense, but she isn’t superhuman, and Ragyo certainly was.”

You let your head fall against the bed before the answer can be given, closing your eyes.

“A kamui named Senketsu was entrusted to her shortly after our father was killed.”

You sit up and stare straight ahead into Ryuuko’s eyes, those beautiful blue Kiryuin eyes. She is obviously uncomfortable as is, twiddling her hands and staring at the floor, and you surely aren’t easing that discomfort with your ghostly stare.

“Where is it now?” You ask. She looks further toward the floor, averting her gaze from you completely. Satsuki begins to answer for her, but you ask again before she can speak. You need to hear this from her.

“Where is it now, Ryuuko?” The Devas are now awkwardly trying to feign ignorance to the two of you, and Satsuki simply lays an arm over Ryuuko’s shoulder.

“WHERE IS IT NOW?”

“HE’S DEAD! HE BURNED INTO NOTHING WHEN I CAME CRASHING BACK TO EARTH TO SAVE ME, YOU BASTARD!” She’s angry. She’s bewildered. "He died saving me..." This isn’t’ the first time she’s lashed out about this, and you doubt it will be the last. She’s about to speak again, and has already jumped out of her chair, looking at you with those strange, articulate eyes, filled to the brim with tears.

You raise your hand to interrupt her protests against you. She stops herself from speaking, barely.

You coldly ask, “Are you sure?”

A chill fills the room. Not a single person breathes, and none dare to speak. For a moment, you are all thinking the same thing, and could be considered one being, a single mind: You took it too far. But you have an afterthought the rest don’t: good.

Ryuuko walks over to the bed where you are propped up and jumps on top of it, stomping over to where you lay, towering above you. Those tears might have been sadness before, possibly regret. Now they’re just anger. She pull her fist back and punches you square in the face. She does it again, this time punching your chest. Ryuuko begins to wail out on you, using both meanings of the word.

“YES, I’M SURE. DO YOU THINK I’M STUPID OR SOMETHING? I WATCHED AS HE SHRIVELED UP TO NOTHING, THREAD BY THREAD, HIS BURNING CLOTH RUNNING THROUGH MY HANDS. SACRIFICING HIMSELF TO PROTECT ME… SOMETHING YOU COULDN’T BE BOTHERED TO DO. WHAT KIND OF BROTHER ARE YOU, HUH? ARE YOU TOO FUCKING CRAZY TO KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD COMFORT YOUR SISTER? HUH? WELL, ANSWER ME!”

She lets up her assault, standing over you. She’s waiting for an answer, out of breath at the moment from yelling at you with her mouth and her fists. Letting go of the anger that had recently lain undiscovered, and releasing that anger, that frustration… that feeling of helplessness she’s held onto for the past few months.

You hurt. Your nose is bleeding freely, and you’re sure bruising will appear all over your body. Something rolls through your mind, and it’s the question you posed earlier. You let it roll right back out of your bloodied mouth.

“Are you sure, Ryuuko?”

She launches another fist at you, but this time you catch it. She throws the other fist at you, and you catch it in turn as well. Her teeth begin to grind, row against row, and she finally scream, “YES, I’M SURE.”

“So, you saw his Banshi thread burn?”

She suddenly takes a conciliatory tone, not completely losing her anger. “No. I… I don’t know. I saw him burn and… die… as I fell back to earth.”
She collapses onto her knees, tilting her head back. You’ve brought up a memory you’re sure she’s been trying to repress. You have a lot of experience with that, luckily.

You move to a sitting position on the side of the hospital bed, sitting next to where Ryuuko is currently positioned. Her head is now in her hands, resting on propped up legs. You aren’t sure how she’ll react, but seeing her in this state is just… pitiful. It makes your heart sink, and feel like a voided mess. You have to tell her.

“It’s a lot to deal with, seeing someone you love die before your eyes, isn’t it? Unless the Banshi thread is severed, or otherwise destroyed, there is no reason to believe that… Senketsu… was destroyed.” You position your hands to rest underneath your head, folding into one another.

“He’s alive.”

Everyone in the room turns to you, staring intently. Nonon says something under her breath… “Nani Sore!” Inumuta doubles down on his typing, and Gamagoori is left a little awestruck, his jaw slightly ajar. Satsuki however, looks… furious. She looks as if she’s ready to jump out of her chair right now, and behead you on the spot. You notice the slightest twitching of her swordhand as well, clambering to end you.

But she doesn’t. She sits there, looking towards Ryuuko, your mutual sister. Waiting, the same as you, for her reaction.

She slowly raises her head. Tears are flowing freely from her eyes, and her face is somewhat red from crying into her legs and hands. She stares at you with the faintest glimmer of hope now spreading through her eyes.

“What do you mean, he’s alive.” She stares up at you, blue eyes dancing before you.

May the Emperor have mercy on my dice roll. We are so close, and yet we can be even farther than all those threads ago. This final choice will make or break the entire story so far. We can be the hero; we can still be the villain.
But, how do we connect to fate itself? A cruel mockery? A stoic champion?

You look into her eyes with your own. She winces when she looks into your eyes at first. The red glow emitting from your eyes varies and cycles from a low hue to a bright effervescent red. The light swirls around as you stare into her eyes. It’s hypnotizing to anyone who stares too long, spinning, swirling, mixing those shades of red together as she watches.

“Trust me.” You say. She has to be calm, and stay calm. She is calm, and she remains calm. Satsuki only watches, unaware of what is happening….

The first step is to sever the thread…

The second step is to gain their trust…

It feels like you’re on autopilot, unable to particularly control your actions. You just stare into her eyes. The crying stops. The pain stops. You will it to stop, so it does. If you will it to be… it will. But… will it backfire? It did for your mother. A different means, same result. She would make a good lieutenant.

But we're not her. We're better, Hinode... we're so much better.

THAT'S JUST HOW TEAM DAI-GURREN ROLLS MOTHERFUCKER

“Do you trust me, Ryuuko?” You ask it plainly. It’s the question you’ve wanted to ask since you found out she was still alive.

“No.”

“What about Satsuki? Does she trust me?”

“No.”

It hurts. You can’t blame them. You can feel Ryuuko’s fear. She can obviously feel your distress and indecisiveness. “You know what is happening now, right?”

“Yes.”

You turn to Satsuki. “You know what I could do, correct Satsuki?”

“Y-yes.” Her swordhand is still trembling, itching to free Bazukan from its sheath.

You get up from the bed, and lift Ryuuko to sit on it. It’s straining, but you feel the need to for… your little sister. Not a pawn, not a chess piece; just your little sister. You lift the hair from the back of her head, and begin to inspect it. Carefully, you comb through it. And there it is. A remnant of an old Seishin Karinui. Activated by your command and your desire to be trusted.

[] Pluck it.
[] Let’s talk about you are. What I am.
[] Don't worry about them, Ryuuko. Their fine.

Make sure you order your choices if you multipick, according to which one you want done first.

“Ryuuko.”

You turn to her. You feel… free to speak. There isn’t any jabbering within your mind, no consul of voices. Just you, alone in your thoughts. It won’t last. They’ll come back again.

“Ryuuko, you’re a life-fiber hybrid on more than one front. You have two distinguishing characteristics: one, your being is infused directly with life-fibers, and two: the Kiryuin blood. I’ve harped on it a few times, already; but that blood is special. It’s what differentiates us from everyone else on the planet. Some come close to its… quality, but no one matches that which runs through our veins.”

She gives you a confused look.

“Satsuki is the same, though she was spared. I suppose you can say it was the last act of a stable mind?”

The moment of clarity is beginning to pass, and you quickly jump into action, continuing to speak as you go around to your sisters and their allies, removing the Seishin Karinui remnants from their skulls.

“And me? Well, I’m the head of the family now, so those duties, and those tribulations that were Ragyo’s to ignore and gawk at are now mine to execute.”

“Our blood, the Kiryuin bloodline, dates to ancient times. Our family has ruled over countless nations, some publically, some privately. There are those that would abuse this power. To fall to the wanton influence of others. We’re the last bastion against it.”

You ruffle Ryuuko’s hair. She doesn’t look too pleased, but nonetheless she continues to sit and listen.

“I still don’t understand. Where is Senketsu?”

“In due time, Ryuuko. If I could give him to you now, I would. But I’m unable to do that. He is alive, though.”

Satsuki begins to speak, somewhat drowsy from the hypnoses effects. “What was that…”

“Seishin Karinui Ultima.” You answer. “It has the power to control anyone with Seishin Karinui implants, absolutely.”
The ramblings in your mind are coming back. Slowly, those voices return. Screaming, yelling. Going this way and that with their decisions. With our decisions.

“My goals are your goals, sisters. I would rather you work with me, but, if you wish to conduct yourself independently, I won’t stop you.” You can’t help but trail off at the end.

They both begin to speak, likely giving conflicting answers, but you stop them. “Go home, rest. Think it over, talk it out. Bring questions, lots of them. I’ll answer them to the best of my ability. Just know, sisters, you will be exposed to things much worse than what you’ve told me.”

“Worse, how?” Satsuki questions, with a genuine undertone of curiosity.

You turn and smile to her, flashing all of your blackened teeth. “This wasn’t a willing modification. And those suits you faced are tame compared to the monstrosities that remain out there. You haven’t dealt with an unrestrained Life Fiber cluster, correct?” The moon is rising again, dusk has set in fully, and the moon is peering through a cloudless sky. You stare out the window towards it.

“What do you mean?” Satsuki’s tone has switched to that of an inquisitor. “What are you implying, Hinode? That there are more of those things out there?”

“I’m not implying anything, sister.” Your grave face speaks more now than ever. “Now gone home, rest.” She’s miffed, but also tired. Seishin Karinui does that to most people, especially those with long-term exposure.

The others begin to file out of the room, still a bit woozy and somewhat distraught from your warning. Their morale isn’t the best, except for Ryuuko. As she gets up to leave, you put your hand on her shoulder.

“Ryuuko. I promise I’ll return Senketsu to you.” You lean down a bit to talk eye to eye to her. “I’ve never broken a promise. Not to anyone. I can feel how important he is to you, and you to him.”

She smiles a bit, and you smile back at her. You can’t help it at this point, you are compelled. It’s just instinct.
You grab her and lock her in a bear hug, lifting her off the ground. You positively beam at her, and she doesn’t seriously struggle against it, just lightly beating on you and saying, “Knock it off, knock it off.”

You put her down, and whisper to her, out of earshot of Satsuki, “I’d do the same to Satsuki, but I think she might chop my arms off.” You both snicker, while Satsuki looks on with both impatience and residual anger.

They both depart, and you lay down to sleep. To dream. The same dream as always, a world lit only by fire, with three figures seated above the rest. Except this time… you’re smiling.

Everything might work out after all. Dreams to reality.

And... That's it for tonight!

As always, I'll stick around for opinions and/or questions.
