Twelfth Duel [Text/Voice Post, Japanese]

[to_blossom]

[Filtered from Gateau; Hackable]

[There's a grunt as Utena slams her fist into the ground.] This is bad...

hakai_aniki! The one who shot bardforblood; just who the hell do you think you are?! I don't understand you!

Even if you weren't the one who killed Cube-kun... why did you have to kill him too?! Don't you realize that you're putting his life and others in danger all over again by having them both end up in the hospital together! Idiot!

He could have been captured, or made so he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else who didn't deserve it. But you--...!

[Her breath hitches, clearly angry and frustrated.] ... You'd better protect him. If you don't, then you're no better than his killer!

[/]

President... You don't have to worry about me anymore. You never had to start. This city didn't really suit you anyway.

Seifer, it's getting light enough to see, and I have somewhere where I need to be now. - I have to go.

[[ooc tl;dr Cube's death and Saburo's killing Gateau only had a difference of a few minutes. On top of that, the revived all end up sent in the same place. The hospital. Yeah... Stupid robot brain.]]

H-he didn't...he was just...

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Do you know him?

... It's fine. I've said what I needed to.

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

Yes...Saburo is my friend.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Saburo... so that's his name.

I won't. But this never needed to happen... nothing can change that truth.

Blaming him wouldn't change anything about it either.

[Determined] Only it's not over yet. I'm not going to let that man ever try to hurt Cube-kun like that again.

[hakai-aniki.livejournal.com]

... [Sorry Utena, he's amused by this post here.]

I already thought of that. They're prepared... what business is it of yours?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

What did you say?!

It's my business because it's a dangerous situation! Not just for Cube-kun, but for the other people in the hospital who aren't able to defend themselves.

The ones who are too injured to fight anymore!

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

M-mm. There has to be something that can be done about it...

[hakai-aniki.livejournal.com]

Heh. You humans and your foolish sentiment. Does it really extend to everyone, even people you don't know?

That doctor woman... Yagokoro will handle Gateau. I'm at the hospital myself, and if she doesn't, I will.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

...We should just be thankful for the second chances that people are given here. It doesn't need to end on a sad note forever...

We'll figure something out. I know it. Sometimes, fighting doesn't have to be important to a person as simply being there. ...Can't you still do that for Cube-kun?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Don't look down on me! People are not things! That line of thinking just makes me sick.

Che. Then it sounds like you are still capable of doing something right.

But it didn't need to end up like this! It'll be hard for me to ever see how this was ever in the right.

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

that's right.

...Of course. I will...always be there for Cube. As long he needs me.

[hakai-aniki.livejournal.com]

More senseless emotions! What does it matter what someone calls you?

I'll do things my own way. Whether it's 'right' or not doesn't concern me.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Mm.

...He's really lucky to have a friend like you. You seem like a sweet girl.

Ne, what's your name? I don't think we've ever been formally introduced. I'm Utena. Tenjou Utena.

It's nice to meet you.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Only to the one who sees things that way. To me, you're the one who is acting senseless!

I know what I am, and that's a human being. One with a heart. One that tells me to protect and weak from danger, and fight for those who can't. - That makes me, and the others, so much more than things!

[She grumbles.] I really hate your attitude. You're totally rotten!

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

E-eh?

Um! My name is Alpha. I'm...Cube's roommate. It's nice to meet you too, Utena.

[hakai-aniki.livejournal.com]

[Have a deep, evil chuckle. He's totally amused.] Humans like to assume, even when they're being righteous.

Aren't you lucky. Hah. It's not as though you earned your heart. If you're more, it has nothing to do with you. And from where I stand, 'more' looks like 'complicated mess.' You're welcome to it!

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Alpha... Ah! That's right. I've heard him mention you before.

Mm. I'm surprised I didn't get around to meeting you sooner, and... [She takes a deep breath, letting out a sigh.] Well... ...I'm sorry if what I said before bothered you that much.

But I still don't like him.

[[ooc Strikes = not there]]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

[...and she thinks you're a pain.] What makes you so different from me?

What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Ugh... You really piss me off! I am myself, and that suits me just fine!

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

Mm...well, it's always nice to meet one of Cube's friends.

Ah, no, it didn't...all that much. Heh, if I'm being honest, I'm not surprised. Saburo isn't exactly...easy to get along with.

[hakai-aniki.livejournal.com]

Everything you just ranted about.

You didn't create your own heart. ... [Chuckles. He really doesn't mind pissing her off, sadly.]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

[...]

[Muttering] I'm starting to wonder why I even bothered.

[cozmic-travel.livejournal.com]

It's being dealt with.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

You're... Yagokoro-sensei?

[...] Can you please tell me how?

[cozmic-travel.livejournal.com]

I do not believe that is necessarily any of you concern, dear.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

It concerns my friend.

If you won't tell me, then I'll have to follow through on my own methods.
