"Kunzite!"
"Silence! This is my decision as the leader of the shitennou!"
"But you can't-"
"I can. I will. I have permission from his majesty the king himself. Dare you go against his majesty?"
Silence. The silence he had already demanded more than once. Without another word to the stunned heavenly kings, Kunzite turned and stalked from the meeting room in a swirl of heavy capes. They would question him no more on this issue, that much was certain. As he move purposely through the halls of the palace, soldiers stood at attention when he came into view. Since he had returned, he had been a different man than the stern, yet caring leader he had always been, and the men were frightened. If they knew why, they would not blame him; he would not lay that burden upon their hearts. It was his to bear, as was the sin that had been committed due to his failure.
Deeper into the palace he moved, past where soldiers wandered, and heavy footsteps heralded his arrival even before the doors to his personal quarters opened. For a moment he was silhouetted in the light from the hall before the doors closed and the darkness enveloped him.
"Mercury."
