( You can do it .. It’ll be fine ! )

A soft tone of voice with a slight chatter of teeth spoke up , ❝ E-Excuse me , Kidd? ❞

With the war finally over and the kishin finally at rest , all was well. Peace and serenity were now overriding war and conflict ; for a while it seemed like the world would no longer have to worry. Alas , such childish thinking ..

With an old leader gone and a new successor taking his place , Kidd was without a doubt the perfect substitute for such an honor. He was tactical , wise , and could be the voice of comfort for many generations to come. Although many times he has shown great anxiety in the past ; he worries over such subtle details and will self deprecate himself to pieces , something they both had in common. Tsubaki had such big faith in this new leader , of course. He had grown so much over these hard times , something she envied. Like the reaper, the demon weapon had taken the life of her own brother , yet to this day the thoughts of that action made her feel sick. How is it that Kidd seemed so content and she did not ?

What if this happens — what if that happens — if if if !

Thoughts of another war breaking out , thoughts of once again hanging on between life and death , thoughts of her friends facing even more hardship. It all drove her crazy , sick with worry. In a perfect world , safety and assurance are promised. She wanted so bad to be apart of that perfect world she had fantasized about. A world where she knew safety was sure , her friends all together , no one is hurting or fighting anymore.

Were these thoughts coming from a caring heart , or the selfish desire of a frightened weakling ?

( Well .. here goes nothing .. )

       Asura had been well aware of the mistake he was making when he attempted to leave- the trouble he’d wind up in when he was inevitably caught. 

       Like any well trained dog the former kishin had asked to be let outside, agreed to being watched by the most well trained meisters and weapons to secure the idea he wouldn’t attempt to wreck something or kill someone surrounded by those who could work to subdue him ( It was amusing to him, how powerful people thought he still was, his brother included. Asura could barely lift a cup with his magic, and though in time it would grow stronger the same way any skill would, it was definitely wasn’t very strong NOW. ) 

       He’d planned.         He’d asked questions about who would accompany him on the brief visit to the outside world- Nothing too suspicious, he had hoped. And then, when the time came, Asura fucking BOLTED.

              It was only a few minutes before he was caught, though. Didn’t get very far, his legs far weaker than he’d originally thought and unable to carry him for prolonged periods of time at such a speed. Unfortunate. 

       ( And now he sits in his cell toying with the chain around his scrawny ankle and waiting for the angered face of his brother to appear- Oh! Speak of the devil.  )
