It isn’t an angry look, per se, just cold. [i]Hm.[/i] She doesn’t even register the pain from her formerly broken arm. ... Foolish. [colour=#B7410E]“... Flexor carpi. Right quadriceps femoris. Third rib, right. Seventh rib, left. Achilles tendon, right. Left bicep brachii.”[/colour] She doesn’t elaborate. She simply raises an arm and splays her fingers. [i]Blood Demon Art: Eviscerate – .3 millimetres.[/i] Six clean cuts appear on Miyuki’s body, mirroring Xaku’s words perfectly. She continues listing as she approaches Miyuki and her leg gives out, her tone clinical and detached, as if she were merely a scientist observing a particularly boring specimen. [colour=#B7410E]“Right pectoralis minor.”[/colour] Another cut. [colour=#B7410E]“Left pectoralis major.”[/colour] Another. [colour=#B7410E]“Left deltoid.”[/colour] Then another. [colour=#B7410E]“Platisma, right.”[/colour] And another. Not a single wound is fatal. [colour=#B7410E]“... right cheek.”[/colour] One final cut. Xaku stops in front of Miyuki, looking down at her with a cold crimson gaze. [colour=#B7410E]“Look at me, child.”[/colour] She takes a knee and grabs Miyuki by her chin, forcing the Slayer to meet her eyes. Her thumb brushes against the gash on her cheek almost tenderly. Her voice lowers as her gaze bores into Miyuki’s, seeming to pierce into her very being. [colour=#B7410E]“You are not strong. You are not brave. Your sentiment will only get you killed. You are a foolish girl who only lives because I allow it. And you will die the moment I will it... [i]Do you understand what I am saying, Soyama-san[/i]?”[/colour] Xaku doesn’t wait for an answer. She releases Miyuki’s face and stands, turning her gaze onto Mamushi. [colour=#B7410E]“The nearest hospital is 4.3 kilometres west. Since you were so willing to stand with her, you may take her.”[/colour] With that, she turns away from them both, dismissing their existences without a second thought. [colour=#B7410E]“Now... is there anyone else who wishes to throw their life away?”[/colour]
