[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo & Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru & Patrika Sunichi Hari[/u] Souta and Patrika were currently conversing over current events. This mainly consisted of Patrika asking too many question, Souta getting annoyed and telling her to let him explain everything first and then Patrika retorting with a meaningless threat that'd cause Souta to facepalm repeatedly. [b]"Do you not understand the simple action of KEEPING YOUR MOUTH CLOSED! For Fucks Sake!"[/b] Souta's blood was boiling with annoyance as every sentence he tried to say, Patrika would interrupt with another question. [b]"WELL THEN ANSWER MY BLOODY QUESTIONS WHEN I ASK THEM DAMMIT!"[/b] The girl replied, shaking a fist in front of her threateningly. [b]"GIVE ME A CHANCE TO TH-"[/b] Souta's sentence was once again cut off, but this time it was from the door opening and the arrival of Fumio. Souta smiled when he spotted Fumio, finally he didn't have to try and talk to Patrika anymore. [b]"It's about time you showed Kazuhiko heh"[/b] He smirked. Hearing the name, Partika stiffened and ridgedly turned to look at the door, a bead of sweat sliding down the left side of her face. [b]"Ahh Prince! It's been a whi-..."[/b] Rio had followed after Fumio, causing Patrika to immediately glare at the woman and silence herself. [b]"Yeah, I apologise for taking so long, just had to make sure Huerona was fine"[/b] Fumio smiled, chuckling a little while rubbing the back of his head sheepishly before closing the door after Rio. [b]"Nice to see that you're alive Huerona"[/b] Rio looked up as Souta spoke, saying her supposedly real name. Her face stayed straight as she replied. [b]"Well I won't die off that easily... I've seen you before, haven't I? You're Souta Fushimaru Hari correct? Kazuhiko mentioned you. I guess you already kno-Um"[/b] Rio's eye widened a touch as Souta cut off her sentence with a hug, a nice one at that. Souta soon pulled back with a smile. [b]"I'm so happy to know that you're Okay Huerona... It's good to have you back. And yes, I am Souta Fushimaru Hari heh heh"[/b] He smiled genuinely at her. Rio only nodded before walking away to lean her back against the wall, crossing her arms while looking at the others. [b]"Right! Now that everyone is here, let's talk"[/b] Souta announced, talking a seat at the table. Patrika and Fumio followed, however Rio stayed leaning against the wall, only planning to observe. This gained a quick glance from Fumio before he began talking with the others. [b]"So, we all know the situation. We need to come up with a plan to put an end to all of this... Once and for all.... The Hari Clan could either collapse or continue but in order for that to happen, someone else will have to take the throne.... One of us"[/b] Fumio began the conversation an opening statement. All eyes were on him as he spoke, once he ended, Souta smirked. [b]"Let's not think about the end before we've figured out how to get there. Besides, if anyone will be 'taking the throne', we all know it'd be you Kazuhiko"[/b] Patrika nodded to this statement. [i]~ After a little more discussion ~[/i] [b]"I'm telling you! That's insane! We'd all get caught!"[/b] Patrika proclaimed, raising from her seat. Rio finally decided to add input after only listening to them up until now. [b]"It isn't insane. As long as we all stick to the plan, no one will get caught. However, there needs to be a plan B incase someone makes an error"[/b] She added calmly, earning a glare from Patrika. [b]"Oh so Blue Bird [i]Finally[/i] decides to talk! Stop faking calmness! You're the one too scared to follow our Clan's tradition and decided to run away! Like you always do when things get a little tough Blue Bird!"[/b] The woman yelled. Rio just looked at her, unphased. [b]"I don't have any clue to what you are even talking about."[/b] Stating this caused Patrika to glare more deadly at Rio, her fists raised and clenched. [b]"Is it even necessary that we have her here? How do we know that she won't betray us too! She's nothing but a traitor! I feel like dragging her back myself just so that she can get executed!"[/b] Hearing this caused both Souta's and Fumio's eyes to widen slightly in shock. Before either of them could say anything, Rio pushed herself off of the wall and walked forward towards Patrika. [b]"I dare you to try it."[/b] She held her steady, stern gaze. Patrika then unsheathed her Zanpakuto. [b]"I WIL-"[/b] [b]"STOP PATRIKA!"[/b] Souta yelled all of a sudden, standing up himself. [b]"THIS IS PATHETIC! We will get no where acting like damn children!"[/b] He shouted at Patrika, earning a glare. [b]"This is necessary, she deserves to die for trying to take the easy way out while the rest of us kill each other! And for what?! We turn against each other to satisfy the leader. We all suffer but she doesn't! She's a disgrace to the Hari name."[/b] Rio tiled her head forward, her hair covering her eyes as she grew annoyed of this girl sprouting out accusations. Fumio and Souta could sense Rio's energy become tense, however Patrika couldn't since the other two knew Rio through and through. Fumio looked up at Rio anxiously as Souta just watched in anticipation. [b]"Don't try to defend this dishonourable, useless, weak-" "I've had enough."[/b] Rio muttered, cutting off Patrika's sentence while making her way towards the door. [b]"WHERE ARE YOU GOING! Stop running away for once in your bloody life and figh-!" "Kazuhiko, Souta, find me when you're actually ready to plan. I'll be in my room at Squad six, I'm the seventh seat there."[/b] With that, Rio left. The second the door slammed shut, Fumio looked down, seeming void of all emotion but something was indeed stirring inside of him. [b]"Stupid woman! I'll execute her myself if I have to!"[/b] Souta's eyes widened further as he felt Fumio's energy. Patrika was too busy making her way to the door before Fumio stood. Her hand was on the door handle when a hand suddenly wrapped around her neck and dragged her away from the door, slamming her back against the back wall in an instant. Fumio looked eerily clam. His face was dead straight as he looked at Partika with no emotion present. [b]"[i]If you even lay a finger on Huerona, I won't hesitate to kill you like I did the others.[/i]"[/b] His tone matched his expression, eerily clam, but with added seriousness. Patrika gasped, attempting to pry Fumio's hand off of her neck but he was much stronger than she had expected. [b]"[i]You're a traitor because of what we're doing right now. All I need is Souta and Huerona, that's it. You mean nothing to me so I'd gladly end your life without a second though. Understood?[/i]"[/b] His voice held the same clam seriousness the whole time, making the impact of his words much more stronger than if spoken threateningly... [b]"U-Under-st-stood"[/b] Patrika squeaked out before Fumio removed his hand from her neck. Patrika immediately fell onto the floor, on all fours as she coughed and gasped, trying to breathe as much air into her starving lungs as possible. Fumio gave her one last glance before turning and walking to the door. [b]"Where are you going?"[/b] Souta finally spoke after witnessing the event, crossing his arms. [b]"To get Blue Bird. We only need the three of us, anyone else is [i]expendable[/i]"[/b] Fumio directed the last part of his sentence at Patrika before leaving the room, slamming the door behind him. The second he was gone, Souta looked at Patrika with narrowed, unimpressed eyes. [b]"Wh-what?"[/b] She spluttered out, gasping for air still.
